Which Party Is the Coward?

The Republican party in New Mex
leo, under it's present self-assumed
leadership is nothing if not cowardly
and fearful of consequences. The
white feather has again been shown
in selecting such a late date, October
Sd, for holding their nominating con-
vention in Santa Fe. However, they
will be sadly disappointed this year
in counting on the purchase of votes
at SO much per head. The people are
being informed on the issues at stake
as never before in the history of the
territory and the usual Republican tao.
tics will fail of success at the polls II
November.-Las Vegas Optic.
The above is somewhat funny consid
ering the fact that the Democratic con
vention will be held a day later thai
the Republican convention this year
1t is plain from the above, appearing IL
a paper controlled by the Democratic,
Pop gang in San Miguel county, tina
the Democratic party Of New Mexico
is vastly more cowardly than the Re
publican party. It's bosses did not dart
to call their convention until after thu
Republicans had fixed theirs. H. il
| plain that the Democratic party (ant
it's bosses) in New Mexico is so fearful
Of consequences that it must wait and
watch and see what the Republican!
will do. To be sure, this will not help |
very much, for it's candidate will be de
feated. In addition, the Las Vega!
gang need not think that it as the tai
| will wag the Democratic dog of thi.
territory. Not much. Indeed, informa
ton is at hand that MI. Larrazola O.
Las Vegas will not be nominated, bu
that Hon. Antonio Joseph, ex-delegate
| will likely be the Democratic nominee
This prediction is now made by this
journal, and six weeks more will tel
the tale. The New Mexican believes II
will be fulfilled.

basket was a solid sheen Of purple
and gold-the reflection of the rlu-
mage of tropical birds woven into
the strands and twisted with ex-
IRENE patience and rare native taste
in color. Closer examination of the
basket showed that the deep dark
greenish plumes of the summer duck
of California had been worked in so
closely that not a particle of the sus-
tanning mesh was to be seen, the effect
being a soft, uniform background set
off by zigzag lines of the more brilliant
plumes of the mountain lark. The top
of the basket was a solid sheen of the
breast plumage of the Oregon oriole in
several soft shades. The color We're
blended like pigment from a deft brush.
The rim was enriched with pearly wam-
pun woven in so intricately and
strongly that one would have to cut
and ravel the stitches and strands to
disengage the bits of pearl. The Po-
mos said the basket construction, first
and last, had occupied much Of the
squaw's time for several years.

tightly woven of grasses as to hold
water, and at the same time be easy of
carriage. The lightest, toughest and
most flexible of materials was chosen
for the manufacture. The basket be-
came the all-important utensil in the
life of the California and Southwest In
dians. Food was cooked in the grass
woven baskets. Water was heated,
and soup was made by heating stones
inc then putting them into the liquid
in the basket. A bread of the flour of
acorns and pine nuts was baked by
placing a heated stone in the basket
containing the dough. Baskets were
used for gathering stores of acorns,
mesquite, and other wild seeds. Large
baskets We're used for granaries. In
them the seasons supplies of dried
crickets were stored by the squaws.
NEARLY A YEAR TO MAKE ONE.
The wealth and standing of the abb
original family We're known in the
tribe by it's quantity of baskets, and
the character of the squaw and her
girls rested on the quality and orna-
mentation of her basket. A woman
who could weave a handsome, shapely
basket as large as a barrel so finely
that it could hold water for a mont
without seapage was the jewel of the
tribe. There were several squaws in
the Tulares of the San Joaquin valley
and Klamaths of northern California
who could do that. 1t took from six
to nine months to finish the work.
The Field Museum in Chicago has a
Modoc basket holding about a quart
that was woven fifty-seven strands to
the inch. 1t is without a counterpart.
Nowadays the Indians seldom weave
baskets of more than ten to the inch.
The klamath and Modoc Indians are
basket makers, the baskets being con-
structed by the twined method and
being flexible, yet water tight, hence
furnishing the name water baskets
often given to the work. Some of
them, like the Eel river tribe, rro-
duce a coiled and whipped structure,
the coil often double, with two rods
or osiers carried around in it instead
of one; while in the basket Of the
Time Indians the osier is overlaid
with a strip of yucca or bark. The
ornamentation is accomplished by
weaving in black rootlets or bark in
a pattern of square or other attract
i've designs.
MRS. HARRISON'S BASKET.
When President Harrison and his
party were in California in 1891 an
old chief of the Pomos gave Mrs.
Harrison a marvellous textile creation
of his mother some 60 years before.
The basket was the size of a common
dairy milk pan, and it's shape was
like the shell of a sea urchin. From
rim to bottom the outer side of the

Colorado Springs a lot Of fine peaches
which he will distribute among the del
egates as specimens of New Mexico
fruit. The Pecos valley is to be COM
mended for its enterprise in advertising
it's fruit and should not forget that a
horticultural fair will be held at Santa
Fee next month, at which it should have
a complete exhibit of Pecos valley
fruit. 1t would be a good and paying
advertisement that can be secured at a
very small outlay.

The young king Of Italy has given the
old statesmen, who have ruled that ma
ton for the past three decades, some
what of a scare. He has shown them
that he has some ideas of his own re-
garding how affairs of state are to be
conducted and he insists upon working
from early in the morning until late in
the evening. His advisers and minis
tiers must keep pace with him, and 1t
is no wonder that they hope that the
kings enthusiasm and energy will soon
wear off. The Italian people, however,
hope differently, for If they have not
been m~isgoverned for centuries, their
welfare has, at least, been neglected
until poverty and starvation are close
neighbors to the majority of them.

The International Typographical
Union, at it's convention at Milwaukee,
did we'll in resembling the resolution
which placed it among the revolution
airy forces Of the country. 1t Is proper
and it is desirable that members of
unions, as individuals, interest them
selves in politics, but when unions as
a body enter the political field and force
their members to vote q certain way
they are digging their own grave
American people are too Independent ir

Anarchists are a menace to the peace
of the nation and a danger to its citi-

this country of all those who profess
to be working for the downfall Of all

The Republican party of the nation
is unequivocally in favor of statehood
and self government for New Mexico,
Arizona and Oklahoma. There is nc
doubt in the minds of well informed
men that the three territories will be
given statehood within a year If they
go Republican in November next.

NDIANBASKETW WORK
An Art That Is Gradually Being
Lost by the Indians Of the
West.
BASKETS THAT HOLD WATER
Good Specimens Are Worth a High Price
The Wealth of Indian Families
Known by the Quantity Of
Its Baskets.

A grimy, frayed basket about the size
and shape of a common round foo
bath tub, woven with dried grasses by
an Indian squaw several generations
ago, was eagerly bought in San Diego
the other day for 1880. Fifteen years
ago a klamath Indian in northern Cal
ifornia sold the basket for so cents, and
seven years ago the same basket sold
for $40. Their 1t progressed in value at
several sales by leaps of $40 and $40.
1t completes a collection of Indian bas-
kets showing the evolution of textile
art in an aboriginal tribe among whom
the art Of fine basket making is prac-
tically extinct. Last yea a collection
Of some 200 baskets, representing
twenty-five tribes, residing all the way
from British Columbia to Yucatan and
South America, was bought by the Gu
rator Of the Royal Museum at Vienna
for 50, 1900.
A widespread vogue has sprung up
for collecting baskets from the Pacific
coast and southwestern tribes. The
eastern tourists who spent last winter
in California left many thousands Of
dollars out here in exchange for In
dian baskets. No other fad has been
taken up so vigorously by the people
If the Pacific coast, and few fads cost
so much money to indulge. The In
dian basket connoisseur will have moth
ing but ~delicately woven baskets with
mellow colored markings and soft and
flexible strands, yet so exquisitely put
together that they have withstood hard
usage, and hold water as we'll as a stone
vessel. They cost nowadays from $25
to $12O each, and each year add to their
value. Fifty or sixty baskets, each
showing a stage in tribal handicraft,
make a fair collection, but to get them
together some me has to travel hun
dreds of miles up and down the Pacific
coast to the reservations, to do a heap
Of talking and coaxing among the rem
rants Of the old tribes, and to spend a
lot of money.
FOOD COOKED IN THEM.
Nowadays Indian basket collecting
is almost a mania in many communities
on the Pacific coast. Some of the larg-
est private collections Of baskets on this
coast comprise 120 specimens. The
Campbell collection in Los Angeles
comprises 1873 baskets, and is very COM
plete. 1t has cost upwards Of $4,000,
and, besides, it was made before the
vogue made the weaves so costly.
A good collection Of Indian baskets
shows wonderful inventive genius, far
tility of resource, and marvellous pa
t.ence of the squaw weavers. On the
hot, arid wastes Of the southwest,
v here water had to be carried long dis
tances and stored for family use, The
aborigine devised great baskets, 80

The Farmers National

The Farmers National congress,
which convenes at Colorado Springs
today Is somewhat of a novelty. While
the farming classes have a large COM
late years that they have banded to-
gether in societies and associations for
their mutual benefit. A national con-
vention of farmers some years ago
and that it is possible to hold one today
is due to the fact that lately men have
been more impressed with the dignity
and the Importance of agriculture.

Several new free rural delivery routes
have again been established in Colo

forty square miles and serving AIS peo-

recognition in that line until it has two

gress. These will come very quickly il
a rousing Republican majority is given
in the territory this fall. This is some
thing to remember when it comes to
