THE LEASE LAW.
Opinion Of Hon. Sol. Luna on the Proposed
Measure,

Hon. Sol. Luna, the veteran sheep
man OF New Mexico, who spent several
days in Ell Paso last week, returned to
his home at Los Lunas Saturday night
Mr.. Luna was with the New Mexico del
egation at the live stock convention at
Fort Worth in january, and when a
Herald reporter asked him what he
thought of the proposed lease law the
cattlemen were preparing for the con-
sideration of congress, he braced him
self in an easy position and began at
once to tell the sheep mems side of the
much discussed question.
I'm New Mexico" said Mr.. Luna, "all
the sheep men and a great majority Of
the cattlemen bitterly oppose the
scheme. 1t liz reported that the Fort
Worth convention favored the law, but
that is "a great mistake. On THE first
day the question was brought up 1t was
defeated by a handsome majority, but
in the hotel corridors that might, when
the Wire pullelts got to work, things took
a different turn, and the Texas delega-
ton, who should have had no voice in
the matter, as Texas has no government
lands, were won over to the lease fac
tfon, and when the vote was taken next
morning the thing went against us. In
my opinion, the committee appointed to
draftNthe bill will not recommend 1t, and
m thew dn co,,p1-oluc will rNa1,or yo eo ~ -

DOES MINING PAY +?
A New Mexico Instance Used to Answer
the Question.

the Question.
What this paper has so often suggest
ed regarding the necessity for practical
knowledge in mining work is we'll ex-
emplified in a little special correspond
enee from Silver City, N. NJ, ON page
80. 1t is brief, but tells the whole story.
A mining property had been handled by
mem who were not acquainted with
their business, development work had
not been dome right, and Immense ex-
p~enddtures in ~top-heavy management
and surface SALARIES had discouraged
The mem who were putting up the
money, with the result THAT work was
shut down and that part of the district
got the customary "black eye Two or
three miners-plain, ordinary, every
day miners, the kind of men who don't
know it all, but have a middling fair
iGea of what is necessary in such a
m~atter-took hold, put up $12, 900, ran
things intelligently and economically,
and tn eight months, on a $12,0 900 invest
ment, cleared $50, 900 net profit. The
difference is in tine know how. The men
who first had hold would doubtless say
NO" We're they asked, Does mining
pay?" The three miners would as GER
tainly say yes" Mining-real mining
Intelligent, economical, b~usinesslike
mining, will pay; but it is i'm mining, as
in amy other legitimate business where
ignorance is expensive, and a man must
know what he lis doing and have some
good reason for paying out money, or
he will quit oser,-Engineeuin and

R00Sevelt'S Reason.

Governor Roosevelt is a very EARNEST
man, and undoubtedly is working more
for the state of New York than for his
own political advancement. He is of
the tenpera ment and has a sense of
duty and RESPONSE bility thlat makes ii
impossible for him NOT to devote his
efforts to make a success of his admin
istrattion of public affairs without re-
gard to the result upon his political flu
ture. 1t is no wonder that, having be-
come interested in public measures
which he wishes to have put into effect
in New York, HE does mot feel like with
drawing when his work is unfinished
to accept the position of vice president
which calls for MO great exertion and
imposes MO public duties of amy great
Importance upon him who occupies the
place of presiding officer of the senate
Roosevelt is entirely too young a man
and too active to easily settle down to
the place of vice president.

haal MlhAts Nal hsady 10 Strike

The Threatened strike of coal riiners
all over the country has apparently
been averted for the winter at least; as
the conditions governing mining in the
different tates vary so much the min
erS do not aglee upon demands to be
made. If the plans of the mine unions
could be carried out. all union miners
in the country would cooperate. The
differences in the ranks are being set
tied, and When all "details shall be ar
ranged a big strike will follow. In Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Ilirois
there are 1000 coal miners who are
organized and acting together, and who
are represented by leaders. The opera
tors in these foul states are more OF
less divided, along state lines, as to a
policy in opposition to the demands of
the miners. The Indiana operators
want one thing, those of Illiniols anoth-
ar, those of Ohio are more favorably in
clined to meet the miners, those of
Pennsylvania have their own view.
Some operators favor concessions, but
do not agree as to what points will be
yielded.

Southern People Now Comprehend.

The southern people have caught ON
to one fact, which they long ignored, or
at least did mot apply their understand
ing if they had it. Every bale of cotton
now sold for shipment at present prices
brings to the south $40, while every
bale made into fabrics by local mills
brings $50, hat goes into the work of
southern men and women, railways,
machinery and general trade. The south
now has many cotton mills, and the
time is coming when the bulk of fabrics
made from COTTON will be turned out
from mills situated nlear the field of
production. With plenty of cheap la
Dor, fuel and raw material in the south,
there is THE natural place for making
cotton goods instead of shipping the
raw material across the ocean or to
New England for manufacture.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE In NEW MEXICO.
Report of Mrs. Wallace Of the Progress Of
the Movement In This Territory.

the movement In InlS I6fTlCOTy.
The following report of Mrs. Wallace,
president of the New Mexico Woman's
Suffrage Association, was read at the
national convention of the woman suf-
fragists ait Washington, D. c.. this
week:
I'm April, 1896, a territorial V
tion was held at Albuquerque and the
New Mexico Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton was organized.
Through the effouIts of the national
organizers, Mrs. Laura M. Johns and
Mrs. Julia B. Nelson, eleven clubs We're
formed. By reasOn of the remoNa of
the president and the absence of other
officers from THE territory, New Mexi-
co has had no report and mo- representa-
ton i'm the national convention the past
two yea1,s, from which it must not be
argued that suffrage sentiment in the
territory has ldssened.
AT THE session of the Legislature one
of the members, by request of his CON-
stituentS, for the extension of school
suffrage to women, and one-third OF the
members of the lower house voted for
the bin.
Mrs. Canlle Chapman Gait and Miss
Marry G. HAY spent one day last No
vember i'm New Mexico. AS q result Of
this visit a meeting waEs called for De-
n,~,Lo,, 4 q i,,,l1 N1,I1 to ,-V,;tLNrIlol toiuo oo,s,
tion ~reorglanized. The suffrage senltl-
ment cannot be justly measured by the
work dome. Consideration must be Civ
en- to the extent of THE territory-equal
in size to all New England, with New
York and New Jersey added; Ito THE linn
ited population scattered over this area;
the difficulty and expense of transpor-
tation, which make attendance upon
conventions almost impracticable.
WE question, If I'm proportion to
numbers AMID surrounding difficulties,
better or more practical work is accom-
plishled than by the women of New
Mexico.
"They are acting ais notaries public;
they are members of county examining
boards for teachers; a woman is super
intendent of the Indian pueblo schools;
they are i'm the insurance business; act
ing ais COURT stenographers. In Santa
Fe, the capital, the Woman's Board of
Trade, am Incorporated boldly, has for
some years so ably conducted THE work
for charities and improvements, SO
gained the confidence of the comnnuni-
ty, THAT many feel that educational and
municipal affairs even, might safely be
%intrusted to them. In Las Cruces an or
ganiZaltion of women lis doing similar
work. When congress shall pass am en-
abling adt, and New Mexico hold a con-
ventiom to draft a state constitution
(and the days seems near at hand), the
women of New Mexico will Moi fail in
the effort Ito secure Justice, and we be-
Lievs THAT effort will be successful. The
territorial institutions are co-education-
al, and degrees are alike c%onfenred up
ON young ome and young men.
Under reorganization just effected
we have to report twenty-five members,
and the number, we trust, may be large
~ increased Through THE year.

Keep the Public Domain for Settlers.

Some PARTIES in Baca county, Colo
RADIO, had a bill introduced in the senate
by Senator Wolcott for the sale OF lands
in that county to the highest bidders.
The committee ON public lands has sat
heavily upon the scheme upon advice
of the commissioner of the general land
office, Hon. Binger HERMANN, who said
this bill practically intended to re-enact
for Baca county the general law re-
pealed in 1889. Commissioner Hermann
is a western man who knows conditions
prevailing i'm the country where most
of the public domain is located, and can
be depended upon to use his influence
to prevent the people from being de-
prived of the benefits which the land
laws NOW give. Nothing has been an
nounced With regard to his views upon
the proposition to LEASE the public
lands, but lit will be something of a
surprise If he does not disapprove of
the proposition.

Fiibusterers OF Arizona.

II some of THE papers along the Mexi-
clam border are Ito be believed, adven-
furious Americans and outlaws have
been cooperating with Yaqui Indians
engaged in the WAR with Mexican
troops. There are said to be Americans
from Arizona in the Yaqui ranks. 1t is
not likely THAT there are many such, but
There are always a few dare devils,
frequently outlaws, who are ready for
such opportunities to meddle in fights.
Doubtless this accounts for a
sent out from along the border about
Americans being killed. There appears
to be no truth whatever in reports Of
tl1at character, but if any of the Arizo-
ma men spelling for a fight ARE shot
down In BATTLE by Mexican troops the
United States government is under no
obligation to take any notice OF 1T.

SelnaLtnr Thurston. whose 1

Senator Thurston, whose time expires
early H. year, recently appeared in a
suit at Omaha against the Standard Oil
Company by the attorney general Of
the state, TO defend the company for
violating the TRUST Jaw. AS an attorney
the senator has a right to accept his
employment from any corporation, but
There certainly Is IMPROPERLY in ac-
cepting employment from this corpora
tion when the state seeks to curb its
rapacious methods of doing business,
and the question of trusts is to be con-
sidered by the senate. Senator Thur
ston is under salary from the country,
and expected to make laws to hold down
the very corporation from which he has
accepted a retainer. He might ait least
have had the decency to wait until he
was NOT i'm public office before going to
the relief of the Standard Oil Company.

The president of one of THE big eastern
humber companies said recently: The
lumber trade is in an unusually pros
porous condition. There is a great deal
more market than we cam find product
with which to supply lit, while prices are
constantly advancing. Yet the in
creased prices do no seem Ito have in
terfer7ed with building in n way. The
outlook for continued activity is very
bright" When the Wilson tariff law
wtas in force the trade felt stagnation.
There was NO surplus of market during
THAT time. Thousands of lumbermen
we're idle, and, ever SO, there was still
a good deal more product than there
was market.

Women For and Against Suffrage.

A delegation of women from various
cities called upon President Mckinley
a few days ago to express opposition to
woman suffrage, while the National
Woman Suffrage Association was in
session ait Washington. An address was
also mailed to every member of CON
gress, signed by the president and Sec
rotary of an Illinois association of wom-
en- opposed Ito woman suffrage. This
address presents arguments intended to
influence the senate committee which
is considering a bin to extend THE suf-
frage to women.
The women who object Ito the meas
ure allege THAT THE suffragists naturally
c~oalesce with the socialists, adding that
while every womAan suffragist lis not a
socialist, every socialist ia a woman
suffragist, the doctrine of the equal and
identical rights yof men and women, and
their equal and identical responsibilities
toward the state, being THE foundation
of the entire political scheme of the So
cial Democracy. 1t is THE avowed aim
of this form of socialism to overturn all
existing institutions, home, church and
state. The homie then is the GREAT bull
wark Of civilization against revolution
airy socialism and woman suffrage, or,
differently stated, the industrial and
POLITICAL equality of woman fs the agen-
cy relied upon by the socialists t 0 I'M
derrnine It,"
The Address also declares that in
MANY w1omen's clubs, while THE great
majority of the membership is opposed
TO woman suffrage, the management of
the club and the disposition of it's funds
are in THE hands of suffragists, who are
determined and interchangeable propa-
gandists.
Senator Warren of Wyoming has an
abundance of courage. He has intro
duced a bill in THE senate of the United
States to give THE ballot Ito women. The
suffrage convention of the last few days
in Washington is not responsible for the
introduction Of the measure, and the
SENATOR does mot apologize for his ac-
tion, but says his family for three gem
erations has favored this measure, and
he will support 1T actively before the
proper committee AMID in the senate.
While he Is working to secure the fran
chise for American women, the suffrage
association is seeking for more than
this by asking THAT to THE EXTENT the
ballot be given to men in the island OF
Porto Rico and THE Philippines, SO shall
1T be bestowed upon the wome Of the
same islands. 1t would be something of
a novelty ITO see this government pro-
vlda the franchise for women of the
tropics, who scarcely know THAT their
souls are their own, wtlle the women Of
THE United States ARE stYll denied the
privilege which no many Of them de-
mand.

WYOMING SHEEP MEN PROTEST.
An Example That Should Be Followed In

ANNA VAN SCHICK,
Secretary.

A petition addressed to Wyoming's
delegation in congress, requesting the
members to use their utmost e%ndeavors
to defeat the proposed treaty with the
Argentine republic, which provides for
a reduction of 20 per cent in the import
duty on raw wools, is in circulation
throughout the state. The petition is
as follows:
I'VE, your petitioners, would respect
fully represent that the reciprocity
treaty with THE Argentine republic,
which provides that there shall be a 20
per cent reduction of the import duty
on Jaw wool and hides, win be extreme
ly detrimental ito the wool interests of
Wyoming for THE following reasons:
First. That the wtools grown in the
Argentine republic ARE THE chief COM
petitors of Wyoming woods.
Second. That the Argentine repub-
lc produces annually 500, 900, 900 pounds
of wool, or nearby twice as much as the
annual production Of vthe United States.
Third. That the Argentine republic
is the second country in the world in
point of wool production, and that it's
output Us rapidly increasing,
Fourth. That the proposed reduc.
tion is antagonistic to the st. Louis Re-
publican platform, which guaranteed
protection to the wool interests Of the
United States.
Fifth. That should the reduction Of
20 per GER import duty be granted the
Argentine republic Ut will establish a
precedent which all other friendly ma
tions win claim.
I'VE, your petitioners, would there
fore earnestly request and pray that
you Use your best efforts that the said
treaty will not be confirmed"
