The Democrats have decided to hold
their county convention at the court

The New Mexican was in error in
stating in it's issue last Saturday that
Sheriff Kinsell voted the proxy of Dis

Of the county committee. Marcelino Or

ANNUAL REPORT OF HON. BING-
Err HERMANN.
Hon. l. B. Hanna, superintendent of
forest reserves in New Mexico and Ari-
IONA has received from the secretary of
the interior the annual report of the
commissioner of the general and office,
Hon. Binger Hermann. The volume con-
tains 100 pages of concise information
about forest reserves, public lands and
business transacted during the year by

ritorial treasury to pay all the appro-
priations for the yea and still have a
surplus of 81, 900. This is unprecedented

THE ELEPHANT BUTTE Dam.
Ell Paso Is Now Showing Some Anxiety
About Its Construction.


The Ell Paso chamber Of commerce
has now taken a hand in pushing the
Elephant Butte dam matter to a sue
cessful conclusion. In reply to a letter
which it sent to the department of the
interior in reference to the speedy con-
struction of the dam, it received the
following answer from the acting COM
missioner of the general and office, w.
A. Richards:
Washington, October 6.-The Honor
able Secretary of the Interior: Sir-1
have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt by our reference of a letter of
Ernest e. Russell, secretary of the
chamber Of commerce at Ell Paso, Tex,
transmitting copy of a resolution of
that body as follows:
BE it resolved, that it is the sense of
the e. Paso chamber of m that
no obstacle should be placed in the way
Cf the project of the Rio Grande Dam
and Irrigation Company, but on the
contrary said project should meet with
all encouragement; and, Furthermore,
any enterprise hat is intended to pro-
vide the people of the Mesilla vallfv
with a water supply should meet WITH
the support of the people of Ell Paso;
and
B 1t further resolved, that in the
matter of the suit now pending in the
federal courts against the Rio Crane
Dam and Irrigation Company, it is lflt
! sense of the chamber of that
said suit should be speedily decided,
and all litigation pending that inter-
I feres with the building of said dam
should be settled; and we favor such
action by the proper authorities as will
result in a prompt settlement of all said
pending litigation"
The department approved the right
of way for the said company's reser-
voir on February 1, 1895, and the legal
proceedings to restrain it from con-
| structing the reservoir were subse-
quently begun, and are now under the
jurisdiction of the department of JUS
tice. This office is not informed Of the
status Of the case at the present time,
but it is known that the matter has
been considered by the United States
supreme court and that the Ease has
been remanded to the lower courts for
further action (174 U. S., 690).
The questions in this case are Of con
siderable Importance in the develop
ment of irrigation, and involve also
matters relating to the treaty of Qua
dalupe Hidalgo, in which the depart
ment of state is interested, as the gov
eminent of Mexico has claimed that it's
interests will be affected by the con-
struction of the dam and the diversion
OF the water.
Furthermore, in pursuance Of de-
partmental order of December S, 1896,
all applications for right of way for
canals or reservoirs which require the
use of the waters of the Rio Grande
have been suspended. Some Of them
have been awaiting action since early
in 1897.
In view Of the foregoing, it is evident
that an early decision of the case is
very desirable. I therefore inclose Mr..
Russelrs letter and recommend that it
be forwarded to the department of JUS
tice with the request that such action
may be taken as will secure an early
decision of the case. Very respectfully,
(Signed) w. A. RICHARDS,
Acting Commissioner.

A Scathino Rebuke,

The reason why Secretary Long
should resign is that he is unfit for
his place and that his continuance in
office can only work to the detriment
Of the navy, which has already
been demoralized by his inefficiency.
He has been the easy victim of naval
cabals and has pandered to the jeal.
ousies of naval officers instead of
promptly stiffling them. His vanity
has been fiattered by toadies and tuft.
hunters and he has unhesitatingly
yielded to their crafty insinuations
and furthered their personal ambi.
tions. He has encouraged scandals
and fostered favoritism. He has
smirched the glory of the Santiago
victory, which was enough for all of
u.s." by making 1t only sufficient for
one, and that one an officer who was
not in the battle at all. He is respon.
sible for the silly and fruitless naval
procession to Porto Rico, which only
resulted in seriously straining two
or three battleships, which had to tow
the monitors. He has taken sides
with the insolent bureaucrat, Crown
inshield, and the Board of Strategy in
exalting some officers who had not
earned the honor at the expense Of
other officers who did the real work.
He has been Sir Oracle for Captain
Evans, who has vented his spleen
against higher officers by making false
and vicious statements.
The outcome of this miserable bust.
ness is the decentralization Of the navy
and serious menace to it's discipline.
If it is not checked soon it must result
in naval anarchy. If Mr., Long had
been man fitted for his place. il he
had been a fair and just man, he
would have stopped at once all this
intriguing of cabals. He would have
checked jealousies and suppressed
scandals. Had he not been a man
blinded by vanity and seized of the
idea that he was a great naval genius,
he would have foreseen just what has
happened and prevented it as soon as
he entered upon his Office. Secretary
Root, when he was appointed, had NO
more knowledge of military matters
than Long had of naval matters, but
he has had that strong sense of jus.
tice and that degree of clearheaded.
ness to undo all the evils of his pre-
decessor's administration, correct his
mistakes, suppress jealousies and
scandals, and restore the discipline
and effectiveness of the army. AS
Secretary Long is clearly incapable of
doing this for the navy, he should Of
fer his resignation to the President,
insist upon its acceptance and return
to private life.-Chicago Tribune

Hard Times in Porto Rico.
the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Industrial condition OF Porto Rico
at this time is not creditable to the
United States. The island is in bad
way and its inhabitants are said to be
much disappointed and discouraged
Their distress is partly due to the ter
rible destructive storm by which the
country was visited few months ago.
That was calamity which it was not
in human power to avert, and the worst
of the distitution which it occasioned
has been relieved by the contributions
of the charitable American public. The
storm, however, has not been the only
or even the principal cause OF the Porto
Rcan woes. The chief trouble is that
the trade of the Island has seriously
suffered from the fact that whereas the
Spanish market has been lost as a con-
sequence Of the transfer OF Porto Rican
sovereignty from Spain to the United
States the American markets have not
been gained.
More than year has elapsed since
Porto Rico passed fully and finally into
our possession. The change was effect
ed without difficulty or delay. The
people of the island cheerfully accepted
their new allegiance. 1t did not have
to be forced upon them. They well
coined it with hopeful cheerfulness and
expected with confidence that they
would be benefited in every way by the
institution OF the new order OF things
That expectation has not been realized
and the reason why not is to be found
in the culpable failure OF congress to
provide by appropriate legislation for
the admission OF the products OF Porto
Rico to the markets Of the United
States.
Having annexed the island and hav-
ing in doing so deprived its inhabitants
OF their former customers we onght
without delay let down the bars and
admit them to a status Of commercial
ennality

BAS E BALL
The Question of an Eight or Twelve
Club Circuit.

The National League magnates ab-
ruptly closed their five days session
with the understanding that they were
to be called together in the near future
to listen to a report, to be made by a
special committee. appointed to pro-
vide ways and means for the reduction
of the League circuit.
According to the expressed views OF
certain Of the magnates, an eight club
league is now almost a certainty. The
appointment of the committee in ques-
ton means that the majority Of the
club owners are desirous of the reduc-
tion in the circuit. The matter has now
narrowed down to one of how much
money will be necessary to buy off the
four clubs 1t is proposed to drop. The
clubs in question are Louisville, Bal
timore. Cleveland and Washington.
The effort to reduce the champion
ship playing season from 154 to 1872
games was left unsettled also, with the
hope that the special committee will be
able to see its way clear to reduce the
circuit. In case the reduction takes
place each team will probably play 40
games. In case an attempt is made to
have a circuit of ten clubs, with Cleve-
land and Louisville left out it would
take an expert schedule maker to tell
just what could be done. That would
leave four teams in the West and six
in the East-a more conflicting and un-
satisfactory arrangement than the
present twelve club affair. The meeting
has served to break up the old cliques
and combinations but the general opin-
ion seems to be that the new combina-
tions which have been formed will not
he lasting. and will not prove beneficial
to the same.
No attempt was made to eliminate
rowdy tactics among the players. Such
an effort would probably have been re-
ceived with ridicule after the peculiar
meeting of the club owners just ended

Rabbi Charles Fleischer, in his
eekly discourse ,fore the congrega-
tion Of the Tempe Adath Israel, in
Boston, Mass, sharply arraigned
| President Mckinley for his Thanks
giving day proclamation. which he
| termed "bumptious" and a parallel to
| the German Emperor's me and Gott."
Rabbi Fleischer Is the most prom
inent Jewish orator In the east. and
his congregation Is made up of the
wealthiest Hebrews of Boston. His
remarks caused sensation, and after
the services he was highly compli-
mented by many Of the leaders in the
church.
After quoting from President Nc
Kinley's proclamation the speaker
| said:
The bumptious Me and Gott' atti.
tude of the emperor Of Germany Is
parallel in passages of this proclama-
tion, relating what God and our pres
ent administration have accomplished
in twelvemonth.
Our President bids us remember
the material causes for thanksgiving
In the growth Of prosperity and the
spread Of his power. On that basis
the next financial panic or defeat at
the hands Of other people might at
some future time deprive us Of reason
for thanksgiving.
ut will not do to cheaper and ma
terialize our gratitude in this wise,
and, like Jacob Of old, bargain with
God and make our thankfulness de-
pendent upon our welfare.

this is meant by the moral and educa-
tional growth Of our national charac-
ter.
Surely no religionist, whether Jew.
ish or Christian OF unafiiiated, would
claim that the increase of war spirit,
the rousing of the slumbering beast in
man, the sacrifice of our real national
character as a peace loving and right
eousness-pusuing people on the altar
of international greed and grab, the
promising with oIr ancient-and ap-
parently antiquated - fundamental
democratic principles for the sake Of
taking our place as people on the
lower plane Of unprincipled imperial
thought and practice-surely no re-
lisionist would contend that such
facts indicate a gain in the moral
growth of our national character
But the Presid mt of our imperial
democracy probably judges by differ
snt standards. He in whose eyes two
years ago 'forcible annexation would
be criminal aggression and to-day
such aggression and subjugation only
part Of the process Of benevolent as
similation,' must not be judged by
| those whose code of morally is still
| adjusted to a single rather than to a
double standard, to whom right is still
right and wrong is still wrong, wheth-
er an American or a Filipino, Briton
or a Boer, practiced or suffered the one

A Business Combine.

Testimony offered before the sub
committee on transportation Of the
National Industrial Commission, now
sitting in Chicago, would almost seem
to throw shadow of doubt on Mr..
Hanna's assertion that such thing as
a trust does not exist in the United
States. One witness, a prominent
merchant of the Windy City, has
sworn that five men who daily meet
in secret session after the close of the
Chicago Exchange, dictate the price
which is to be paid to farmers for
their their grain on the day following,
and absolutely control that question.
But Hanna probably would say that
this was not trust, but only COM
bination for business purposes, with
the methods of which neither the law
nor the public have any legitimate
concern.-Washington Times.

JEFFRIEs' PROGRAMME.
No Fault Can Be Found With His Pro.
posed Course.

Frank Hough, in the Philadelphia In
quirer, says:
mo fault can be found with the pro-
gramme Jeffries has mapped out for
himself. 1t is one Of the privileges of
the champion to nominate the order in
which he will take on his challenges.
He has elected to meet Corbett first,
then Rubin and then the winner of the
proposed mill between Fitz and Shar-
key, or both Of them in the event Of
their failure to come together. All this
talk about this one and that one being
better entitled to a meeting with the
champion Is all tommy rot. His decis-
i've victory over FitZsimmons and his
subsequent defeat of Sharkey settled
that. IL an outsider had any preference
probably Peter Maher would have as
much claim to that distinction as any
other member of the heavy weight bri-
Sade, but there are no rights to prior
ity which the champion Is bound to
recognize His proposed meeting with
Corbett in August will be regarded
with some distrust. 1t savors too much
of family affair. Besides, assuming
that Corbett was in good shape the
night he met Sharkey at the Lenox
Club, there would be nothing to a fight
between him and Jeffries. After with
standing the walloping that Sharkey
handed out In the recent twenty-five
round affair. there is no reason for be-
lieving that Jeffries will be visibly an
noyed by any of Corbetts punches. As
to Corbett winning out by his clever
ness, that's all poppycock. 1t did not
save him at Carson City with Fitz, and
would not have saved him at the Len
OK with Sharkey. The Sailorman got
to him, and whatever Sharkey can do
in that line Jeffries certainly can. All
this may be premature. however. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether bona fide
match is to be made. 1t may only be a
sort of boost for Jim's interior decora-
tion plant. II the match is made,
though, 1t will hardly be as big a finau-
cial winner as were the last two big
bouts, for there are any number of fol-
lowers of the ring who will never be
satisfied that Corbett meant to be on
the level the night he met Sharkey.
They will not take chances on another
blarney."
