Sounds Very Nice!

1.-The people of New Mexico are gov
federal, territorial and municipal, in
this territory, if rigidly enforced, to
bankrupt any community."-New Mexi-
can.
Sounds very nice, but the Optic, in
spite of having lost dry goods enough
on the last election to start a mems
clothing establishment, would not hest
tate to put up another Stetson or high
its neck to get some bill passed at the
next legislature, provided, of course, it
gets that soft job" again, which, by
the way, it is not so likely to do. There
are others, you know, and that's not
saying hal the OPTICS one of them.'--
Las Vegas Optic.
Our more or less esteemed Pop. con-
temporary in the Meadow City need not
worry about the New Mexican. Should
there be any chance to get some print
ing for the New Mexican out Of the
next Legislative assembly, the paper
will certainly be q "dod-blamed' fool if
it did not seize the chance. The trouble
with the Optic is sour grapes" The
New Mexican will come pretty near
taking care of itself in good shape, as it
has done in the past. AS far as the
soft job is concerned, the New MeXi-
can never has and never shall ask the
Optic to help it. If it cannot get such
things on it's own merits and because
it deserves them from the Republican
party and the people of the territory for
the excellent work it does daily for both
of them, it will not ask any paper like
the Optic for help. The sympathy Of
the Pop. sheet is wasted. 1t simply
creates laughter. 1t is not worth con
sideration, and the New Mexican does
not propose to consider it.
Another little thing to be observed
here and that is: The item quoted
by the Optic as having appeared in the
columns of the New Mexican, never APP
peared therein. That is all.

The rebellion in the United States

The rebellion in the United States of
Colombia lasts longer and seems more
serious than rebellions usually are in
South America. For a time the federals
are victorious, and then again at an un-
expected moment the rebels are on top.
If this sort of a thing keeps up much
longer, the result will be the same as
that of the fight of the Kilkenny cats.
There will not be enough left of the
United States of Colombia to resist an
attack from the outside, and both Ven
ezuela and Ecuador have a standing de-
sire to divide Colombia among them
selves, for Colombia occupies one of the
richest and most desirable parts of
South America.

per cent. A territorial statute compels
the attendance at school of all children
between the ages of s and 16 years at
least three months in each year. Also,
in the higher educational institutions,
such as the university, College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts, School of
Mines, New Mexico Military Institute,
normal schools, etc, for the mainten-
ance of which liberal Legislative endow-
ment is provided, over 1000 territorial
pupils are being educated.
THE LAND COMMISSION.
Attention is called to the fact that the
land commission provided for in the act
of congress donating 10000 acres of
public lands to New Mexico for educa-
tional purposes is fully organized and
doing excellent work, which will re-
dound greatly to the advantage of the
school interests of the territory. The
fact that thousands of acres of wild
, lands, much of which is contiguous to
water, are to be had in the territory by
complying with the United States and
territorial land laws is referred to.
Much of this land is desirable for colo
nization purposes when bitches and wa
ter storage reservoirs are provided. By
supplying methods for irrigation large
tracts of arid lands comfy u to be
brought under cultivation. Many Sec
| tons of the territory have experienced
a marked growth in this respect during
the year. Immense systems of storage
operation in several of the principal
valleys of New Mexico, and many new
enterprises have been inaugurated
within the year..
IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
The governor states that there are
still many opportunities for the invest
ment of capital in irrigation projects,
coupled with colonization and town.
building enterprises, that would bring
profitable returns. Agriculture general
ly is on a most satisfactory basis
throughout the territory. The cultiva-
ton of the sugar beet is receiving much
dtlclllloll, tle SUI dLN CilHldte DelllS Pc
culiarly adapted to it's production. AL
falfa growing is making rapid strides,
as within a few years stockmen have
given up entirely their old range meth
DDS and have gone to fattening their
own cattle, sheep and hogs on alfalfa
produced at their homes, rather thar
send their stocks to Kansas, Nebraska
Extraordinary success attends horticul-
ture in all it's branches, and the prog
ress in this line of production is most
satisfactory.

They Mean Business.

The promoters of the Santa Fe, Albu-
querque and Pacific railroad mean bust
ness. They have certified that one-tenth
of the proposed capital stock is subject
at any time to the treasurer's draft.
Senator William H. Andrews, Hon. w.
s. Hopewell and the others who, for the
present, are the directors Of the com-
pany, are not men who are given to in
cooperating companies merely on pa
per. The Boston and other capitalists
who are interested in the project are
the same people who are pushing the
Chicago, Pacific & Rock Island rail-
road from Liberal, Kan, through Texas
and New Mexico to Ell Paso, for the
present, but with the ultimate object
to reach the Pacific, and it seems ap-
parent that the Santa Fe, Albuquerque
and Pacific railroad will be a link in at
tanning that object, the same as the Ell
Paso e. Northeastern railway is a link
that enables the Rock Island to reach
Mexico. OF course, every new railroad
enterprise in New Mexico means the
opening of a new section; it means
more visitors. more settlers, more capt.
tai to be invested, more business to the
cities 1t touches, new settlements and
towns. 1t will not hurt the business of
any Of the older railroads in the terri
tory, for the additional business that
the new railroads develop will ultimate
ly go in part to the older lines. 1t is the
realization of such a project like the
and to White Oaks that will
give Santa Fe the start toward com
.ercial and industrial supremacy in
New Mexico that should have come to
{ long ago, had not mistakes and the
ethargy Of ITS own people prevented 1t.

GOLD AND COPPER.
Mines of copper and gold are being
developed in a remarkable manner. In
this respect the year has marked an
epoch in the history of the territory;
never before has there been capita! 30

prises of this character. Many new dis

critics; old mines have resumed opera
tons, and, with new and approved an
pliances for extracting the values, the
mining industry may justly be said to
be exceedingly active throughout the
whole territory.
EDUCATION.
Noteworthy advancement has been
made in the cause of popular education;
a very comprehensive review of the
progress thus made is given, accom-
panied by vital statistics on the subject
from every county in New Mexico. The
territorial school system is modelled aft
err hat of Illinois and Kansas, and a
direct tax is levied for the support of
such schools, varying from " to 3 mills
annually. Under the operation of the
benign school laws and the hearty in
terest displayed in the enforcement
thereof by the people, the illiteracy of
the territory has decreased by leaps and
bounds, and the record in this respect
during the past ten years is a ource OF
qualification. There are 52,652 children
of school age in the territory, and the
total enrolment in the schools is q, 173
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The number Of public schools is SIC
and the number of teachers employed
T06, whose average monthly "a is
$780, 10. In addition are the %sectariar
schools. The Presbyterian Church sup.
ports 25 schools, attended by HOS pu-
pills; the Catholics IS, attended by 100:
pupils; the Methodists II schools, at.
tended by 426 pupils, and the New West
Commission 5 schools, attended. by 81!
pupils. 1t is estimated that the per-
centage of the inhabitants unable tc
speak English will now not exceed II
