Idle Attacks Upon Governor Otero.

The Ell Paso papers that care nothing
for the people of New Mexico except for
what they can make out of them, are
wrathy because upon recommendation
of the Cattle Sanitary Board Of New
Mexico, Governor Otero has issued a
quarantine proclamation against Texas
cattle. The governor simply did what
he was required to do by law. The
Cattle Sanitary Board knows it's own
business best and will certainly not
ask odds or permission from The El
Paso papers to do what it thinks right
for the protection of New Mexico cattle,
but the Ell Paso papers take this occa-
sion to make an assault on Governor
Otero. This is in line with the course
of the other Democratic papers in the
territory, who also take every occasion
to assail Governor Otero in their col
umns without cause without rhyme
and without reason. The best point in
this situation is that neither side can
hurt Governor Otero. AS far as hui
man probability goes he will be reap
pointed by the president to the office of
governor which he has ably, well and
satisfactorily filled since June Z, 1897,
and the whole outfit in Ell Paso and in
this territory that oppose him will have
nothing but their wicked labor for their
pains.

An OHLucKY MAN.
A Lordsburg Man with a Bullet Hole in
His Lungs Taken to Ell Paso.

James e. Kelley, of Lordsburg. was
brought to El Paso this week and plac-
ed in Hotel Dieu. There is a bullet hole
through his lungs. and has been there
since October "A. 1t is not known
whether the wound was made by acct
lent or whether some n deliberately
shot him. He says he vas sitting on a
bench with some other men when his
pistol which was in his belt or pocket
was discharged. The men who were
with him say it was accidentally dis
charged. but Kelley thinks the position
of the wound makes hat story unreal
sonable. The bullet entered his back,
ranged upward and passing through
his lungs entered his arm. He thinks
some one turned his pistol upward and
pulled the trigger. 1t is a queer case
either way and hard to figure out how
either incident could have happened.
Kelley is in a serious condition, largely
due to the wound having been neglect
ed so long.
Kelley has been in the hospital here
before. While assisting to construct
the f. p. & N. e. road he vas struck
by a flying object which was blown up
by an explosion and his skull was
crushed, his scalp taken off in quite a
large spot, and one of his eyes was
knocked out.

1.-The health report of Denver shows
that in October out of 1874 deaths, 81
We're from tuberculosis, and 20 per cent
of these had been contracted in Denver.
This is proof sufficient that Colorado
climate is no longer a preventative for
consumption and certainly, in the same
degree, is not as good a place for con-
sumptives to go to for their health.
Physicians the world over must soon
recognize that they should send their
patients to New Mexico in order to Sc
cure the maximum of benefit that a
change Of climate means to a con-
sumptive. Thus far no country has
been discovered which is az free of
consumption as New Mexico. and h a
has so good a climate for the cure Of
tuberculosis.

The use of the metric system should
become more general in the United
States. Science uses it in this country
and nearly all foreign nations use it in
their commercial life. The United
States money system is based on it and
there is no aso why 1t should not be
used in weights and measures in every
day commerce. Russia has just adopt
ed that system, and any delay in the
United States following suit hinders
and impedes commerce with other ma
tons, besides depriving the people of
his nation of the use of the most con-
venient measures and weights eve de-
vised for commercial as we'll as for sci
entific purposes.

In two weeks from today the National
Irrigation will be in session at
Chicago. While the congress has no
Legislative or executive powers, yet 1t
will do good in creating a sentiment in
favor of the nation retaining the arid
lands. The opposition in the east to
the reclamation of the arid lands with
government aid is dwindling, for it is
now acknowledged that every million
acres reclaimed means a new and in
creased purchasing power on the part
of ten thousand families. The more
people, the more farms, the more homes
in the arid west, the greater will be he
demand for goods manufactured in the
east, and the more profitable railroad
and commercial business will become

MURDERED ON The BORDER.
A Ranchman's Violent Death on the New
Mexico Line.

r. l.. Hall. a prominent and wealthy
ranchman of FL Paso county, Texas,
was shot while on his ranch, seventy
miles north of Van Horn on the New
Mexico line, by Fayette Seeley, a cow
boy. The ranch foreman, O. l.. Her.
ring, was also wounded in the arm.
Seeley escaped, going west, and Is
thought to be in the Guadalupe noun
tains on the border. A reward of $1,000
is offered by Halls relatives for his
capture.
The shooting resulted from a difficulty
between the two men twelve months
ago, in which Seeley was worsted. At
that time he had Hall arrested, but the
defendant was acquitted. Persons ia
miliar with the circumstances have
been expecting trouble and were not
surprised. Both Hall and Herring were
unarmed when shot.

1t is strange that a state like Florida
should gain 81 per cent in population
since 1890, and Indiana only lat pei
cent. 1t must be remembered however,
that Florida only needed to add l3I.0oO
to the number of its inhabitants in Or
der to gain 80 per cent. while Indiana
had to add over twice as many people,
or 324, 600 to make a 14.7 per cent ram.
The more populous a state becomes,
the more difficult it is to keep up a GER
tain percentage of gain.

MI;. Ci;UMpACKEi:s VIEW.

Congressman Crumpacker. who offered
the bill to reduce the representation i'll
Congress of the Southern States i'll pro-
portion that the DISTINGUISHED negroes
bear TO the whole number of male citizens
twenty-one years OF age, said in a recent
interview that it was the policy of the
Constitution to encourage universal man
hood suffrage. but that the States had
authority greatly 10 limit manhood suf-
frage by accepting the consequences that
should ensue in the reduction of represen-
iatiou.
1t is a pity that there should be con-
fusion just here. If the Constitution had
provided in terms that any State might
disfranchise any number of citizens with
out regard to race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude, on penalty of having
its representation in Congress reduced in
proportion TO the number Of persons dis
franchised, >lere would have been no
complaint on the part OF the Southern
States. The negroes would have been dis
franchised and the ballot would have been
put into their hands as fast they
showed themselves qualified to vote We
have often said. and we repeat it, that
even nov the Southern States would
cheerfully accept The penalty of the four
teenth amendment f only the the fifteenth
amendment Should he repealed.
