How Race for Minority Representative
Endorsement Stands.
The contest for the Endorsement of
the Rock Island county democracy
for the minority representative nom
ination appears to have simmered
down to M. j. McEniry and John P.
Looney, although it is not to be said
that 7. F. Wheclan, w. r. Moore, T..
r. Lees and John Schafer. Jr., will
not receive votes in the conven-
ton. Aside from the delegates
favoring any of these gentlemen
there are those who are inclined to
support Henry .cCunty's claim to
the nomination. Everything on this
question will be tremendously settled
tomorrow afternoon at The county con-
vention, which will be called to order
at 80 in Turner hall. Delegates are
TO be chosen to the state. COMPRESSION
al and senatorial conventions and a
county ticket nominated. The ARGUS
has from time to time mentioned
available timber for the several offices,
and it goes without saying a strong
ticket will be placed in the field,
one of which the county democracy
may feel proud, and one that will COM
mend itself to voters of all classes.

Charles Buford, Formerly of This City
Promoted by Mexican Central.
Charles, scn of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. NJ.
Buford, formerly of this city and now
of Juarez, N M, is making his way
in the railroad world, as will be seen
by the following item in the Ell Paso,
Tex Times:
Charles Buford, until recently
ticket agent and assistant to Agent
Comfort, of the Mexican Central in
Juarez, will leave today for Torreon,
to take charge as agent for the Next
lean Central at that point. This is a
deserved promotion for one of the
brightest and most popular young
railroad men in Mexico. 1t is the
highest compliment the officials
of the road could pay Mr.. Buford in
selecting him for such an important
position, for Torreon is one of the
most important stations on the road
so far as railroad work is concerned.
Mr.. Buford is one of the youngest
men in the employ of the road. But be
is thoroughly capable, likes railroad
ing, and will climb to the top of the
ladder. A mum Der of Mr.. Buford's FL
Paso friends rendered him a farewell
banquet at Zeiger's Monday night.
Col. l.. NJ. Baford, former United
states consul at Juarez, has cause TO
feel proud of his sons promotion, for
he has won it on a remarkably short
term of service

MONEY FOR THE WING DAM
An Appropriation for the Water Power
Improvement.

A dispatch came to S. S. Davis from
Congressman j. R. Lane. of Daven-
port, this morning stating that the
senate amendment to the civil sundry
bill approPriating $97, 900 for the
wing dam water power improvement
at Moline had been concurred in by
the house, which assures the success
of the appropriation. This is one OF
the many accomplis hments that Mr..
Lane has been responsible for since
he went to Washington that have led
many of his admirers to bestow upon
him the title of "Tri-City Congress
man"
The work for which the appropria-
ton calls involves the deepening of
all the tail races by the removal of
200, 900 cubic yards of rock and the
raising of 400, 1000 of it for the
Strengthening CT the wing dam. 9

What a Difference!

Four years ago, under the late unla-
mented Cleveland administration, this
territory was nearly bankrupt, and its
bonds were quoted away below par.
This year of our Lord and fourth of the
Mckinley term, the credit of the terri
tory Is first class, the floating debt has
been wiped out, territorial bonds are
away above par counties are refunding
their Indebtedness from 6 and Z per
cent bonds into 4 per cents. the bonded
territorial debt is being reduced, taxes
are collected better than ever before,
and there win be no deficiency in the
territorial treasury. But then four years
ago the territory had a Democratic gov
ernor and administration, and this year
and for three years past there are. and
have been in office a Republican gov
ernor and Republican officials to carry
on the official business of the territory.
Results speak for themselves-Demo-
cratic platforms to the contrary not
withstanding.

Choose 10 Be Spanish Subjects.

OF the adult men of Cuba, $500 de-
cided to remain citizens of Spain. These
are largely of the property-owning
class, and remain S%paniards merely for
material reasons The Spanish prop
erty-owning residents of Cuba do not
believe the Cubans fit for self-gevern-
ment. They believe that the Establish
ment of a Cuban republic within any
near date will result in conditions nov
prevalent in San Domingo. So they
have taken entirely natural precau-
tions to protect themselves and their
property against any possibility of
American withdrawal.
By retaining their Spanish citizenship
these residents of Cuba put their per-
SOM and possessions under double
guard. Against Cuban disagreement
by a Cuban republic they can appeal
first to their own country, and again to
the United States as the power which
has given assurance to the world for
Cuba's good behavior.

ARIZONA'S CLAIM TO STATEHOOD.
1t Is Almost As Strong As That Possessed
By New Mexico.
(By Gov. Fl. O. Murphy.)

(By o II. O.. Murphy
The claims of Arizona to admission to
to the Union as a state may be urged at
priety. The qualification of the terri
tory is acknowledged by all who know
and understand it's conditions. They
are advocating it's admission tenacious
ly. To ignorance of it's development and
to political cliques opposition to the
proposition is alone due.
The progress of the territory in popu-
lation, wealth and the development of
material has Deer remark
able. The rapidity with which Arizona
has developed from a primitive from
tier region into one of the most pro-
gressiye, enlightened and law-abiding
communities of the Union is neither un-
derstood nor appreciated by eastern
representatives, otherwise the boon of
self-government, for which we all pray,
would not now be denied us.
The spirit of fairness, so prominent
in IL national character, would not
longer permit Arizona to suffer the
wrongs of territorial vassalage if the
territory and it's people were properly
understood east Of the Mississippi.
Arizona has 100, 900 people and 800, :
000, 900 of taxable wealth.
Every argument and principle which
should in justice and right be consid-
cred in connection with the admission
of the territories rests simply upon
their ability to maintain themselves as

THE TERRITORIAL BILLS GO OYER.
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma Must
Wait for Statehood.
(St. Louis Globe Democrat,

81 iLpulS Wv
The bills to erect Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona INTO states will go
over to the next session of congress.
This course has been decided on by the
house committee on territories. OF
course this action involves a good deal
of risk to those measures. The next Will
be the short session. 1t will last only
three months. But little time ordinari-
congress for the passage of any bills
aside from the regular appropriation
measures, except those of the most ur-
gent importance.
Nevertheless, there is a chance that
some of these territorial bills may be
passed in that session. Oklahoma has a
population of probably $50, 900. New
Mexico must have in the neighborhood
of 800, 900 inhabitants. The estimates OF
the territorial officials are higher than
these figures, but they may be m
what extravagant. Each of these terri
tories, however, has a much greater
DbpuldlloIl llldl tHV uiil VI iSpi
ton in the popular branch of congress
which is required in the states. That
figure is It's, 900. Oklahoma, as a state,
would be entitled to two representa-
tives in the popular branch of congress.
Arizona's population is under the
unit representation mark. 1t is estimat-
ed at 100. 900 by the territorial officers.
In the earlier days territories with a
much smaller number of inhabitants
than this were admitted to statehood.
The ordinance of 1887 provided for the
admission of the divisions of the North
west territory when they had $4,000 in
habitants. The disappearance of the sill
yer issue, which will be rendered COM
plete and final by the overthrow of the
Bryanite party in November, will take
away the chief objection which has
been urged against the formation of any
more new states at the present time.
There is an excellent chance for the ad-
mission of Oklahoma and New Mexico
to statehood next winter, and Arizona,
too. NAV he LET in.

The idea of an educational exhibition
at Santa Fee in December of this year is
a good one. 1t will give a clearer idea
of what the public schools and the high
err institutions of learning are do
ing than any other method. Exhibitions
from the smaller towns and villages
would be especially interesting, and
would prove an incentive to doing bet
ter and more thorough work each year.
By all means, let a territorial educa-
tional exhibition be held in December
at the annual meeting of the New Mex
leo educational association.

THERE CAN BE NO IRRITATION
AN CAUSE.

states, and the desire of a majority of
their people for self-government. No
law, precedent, nor construction of law
can be found to the contrary, and while
no specific regulations exist for the
guidance of congress in the admission
OF states, the law as recognized by GUS
tom and precedent has become a funda-
mental part of our national policy, and
whenever the people of a territory Of
this Union express the desire for self
government and can furnish sa%tisfac-
tory proof of their competency in pop
ulation and wealth, it is not only their
right to be admitted to statehood, but it
is clearly the duty of congress to admit
them. This is conceded by all of the au-
thorities on constitutional law and
precedent, and any other view is re-
pugnant to the inspiration and patriot
ism of the republic.
The territory has greater wealth and
population than had a large majority
of the states when they were admitted;
it's undeveloped resources are almost
incalculable, and the people unanimous
ly demand recognition of the rights to
which they are entitled under the con-
stitution. The territorial form OF gov
eminent has existed in Arizona for
thirty-five years. The fifteenth legis-
latuer of Arizona ten years ago author
lied a constitutional convention and the
election Of delegates thereto; an cleo
ton was held, a convention held, and a
constitution framed, which at a subse-
quent election was ratified by the peo-
pie.
Statehood has been denied to Arizona
because of sectional prejudice, ignor-
ance, imaginary partisan policy, and
pure selfishness. The latter reason ex-
lists in the fact that u eastern breth-
rem are unwilling to divide legislative
representation in congress-. They refuse
to grant to their brother Americans of
the west, who are their equals in every
respect, the same privileges under the
constitution which they enjoy, and for
which the founders of the republic
fought and bled. &

They are the ~fire-eaters of France, who

The armor plate firms have won q
partial victory in the senate by the pro-
visions in the naval appropriation bill
providing for the payment of $545 a tor
for armor instead of 5000, as the original
amendment stood. The amendment to
appropriate for a government armO1
plant was also voted down. Sooner OF
later, however, the government will
own it's own armor plate plant. But
rather than experimenting with the
erection of a new plant, the govern
ment would do well to buy the splendid
ly equipped plants of Carnegie and the
Bethlehem Iron Company if they can be
bought at a reasonable price.

A city can do much for it's own
growth by developing the country that
is naturally tributary to it. A city that
is surrounded by miles and miles of
fertile agricultural lands that are under
cultivation will always be prosperous;
a city that has mountains round about
it hat are rich in mineral wealth that
is being taken out will always be a
good town for business. 1t is difficult to
maintain a city in a desert or in some
other unproductive region, and the best
backing that any town can have is an
Industrious and prosperous population
in the country districts that surround it.
New Mexico cities and towns will grow
and prosper proportionately as they
help in the development of the country
round about them.
