 THE ELECTION RESULTS.

Another Lease Bill.

The range lease bill introduced by Sen
ator Wolcott by request of certain par
ties in Colorado, but to which he does
not appear to have committed himself,
contains many weak points. The whole
leasing proposition is bad, and IL C
cessful would result In holdings Of large
tracts of lands by monopolies, which
would benefit the public less than to
permit the free and unlimited coinage
of grass into beef and mutton, as the
Nebraska orator might SAY. One of the
aids to monopoly would be the power
of boards of county commissioners to
fix the leasing value of lands. In many
OF h counties n cattle owner or a
combination Of half a dozen Of them
can easily control the election OF coun-
ty commissioners. The controlling ele-
ment could thus practically fix their
rentals at a nominal figure. Or cattle
men desirous of leasing land could serve
as commissioners and fix the rentals
they, their family and friends would
pay the government. The general dis
position to consider THAT 1t Ia fair to
get whatever can be had from the Unit
ed States free, or practically 80. would
lead to the fixing of rentals low in manv
cases. The bill would not invite COM
petitive bidding, and would leave local
influences to the use OF the land
to go for nothing almost, while at the
same time men who could not control
large bodies, would be- left in the scram-
BILE of the big fellows to take large
tracts.

CARRIED Temperature Fiaures.

The Ell Paso Times of a day or two
ago printed a temperature table takel
from the columns Of the New Mexican
as far as the Ell Paso journal desired
to Use the facts, and added a statemen!
that the figures showed Santa Fe was
the coolest hole west Of Boston," But
the Times misunderstood the records
for the figures In the New Mexican and
in the Times showed a number OF places
with temperature lower than that Of
Santa Fe. The Times quoted the Den
yer figure e~rroneously, putting the AK
treme there IA degrees above zero for
1897, instead Of IA below, while Santa
Fe recorded 1 degree below zero in that
exceptional winter.
In the statement only a dozen places
from Boston to Ell Paso we're included,
with but one in New Mexico. OF these,
five had lower extremes than that of
this city, but the FL Paso paper, through
ignorance Of the meaning of a minus
sign before figures in a weather table,
credited the cities with certain numbers
Of degrees above instead OF below zero.
OF course, there were very few days, ii
more than one, when the mercury fell
zero here, and those days were pleas

Fish OF One, Flesh OF Another.

The people of New Mexico are emit
tied by equity to have the liberties and
civil rights citizens of other parts Of
the Union eJoy, and to assist in MAX
ing the national laws under which they
must live. To compel them to accep:
less than accorded residents of locali-
ties from which only imaginary lines
separate them is to put a check upon
their feeling that they are Americans in
every sense of the word. Are the peo-
pie of Trinidad, Colo, more worthy OF
fun citizenship and of saying who shall
be president of the country, governor of
a state, and of helping to elect con-
gressmen who make laws for the whole
country, than are those Of the people Of
Ration, a few miles away, across the
New Mexico line? Are the residents OF
FL Paso better fitted to take part In
national affairs than those of Albu-
querque? Is there any vital difference
i'm the character of the population of
the two San Juan counties, one in New
Mexico, the other in Colorado, and not
widely separated?

ant after Adnr1aA II the Times asshss
to ba accurate, it should look at records
for other years, and find that both SAN
ia Fe and Ell Paso have had lower ex-
tremes than l degree below zero. and
about equal. Neither has cause to COM

thing. But when the long hot summer
on the border is taken into count, the
average climate of the capital of New
Mexico, with its ~unequaled summer
weather, having an extreme last year Of

fe11ed to was compiled but IS, with a
general temperature of about 75-El
Paso is not in the race as a climatic re-
sort, for 102 was the official record in
1897, and that is not an point
for the mercury to reach, with many
months that the temperature almost
daily approaches or exceeds 100. If the
Times will admit it's error with regard
to figures the New Mexican will con.
cede that there are locations hotter than

other place which tradition credits with
being "a warm number.

An Example For New Mexico.

The Chicago gentleman who address
ed the bar association of New Mexico
the other day told the attorneys to get
in the lead and pull for statehood, for
it would not be secured without effort.
and the people have learned to expect
lawyers to &C to the front in any move
ment for the public welfare. The attor-
ney from the city of push then in a
general way described what Chicago
would do were she DESTROYS Of having
Cook county made a state. His COM
ment upon the successful method of the
Windy City in promoting the interests
of the municipality is worthy of being
segregated from the mass of good
things the speaker uttered, that it may
be impressed upon New Mexicans, who
the Chicago mar thinks are in most
cases half asleep to their opportunities
with regard to statehood and many 9TH
er matters. Here is what he said as to
how Chicago would go after what she
sought from congress-:
Il have not been a resident of Chicago
long enough to earn how that dynamic
municipality does things, but l have an
abiding faith that if Chicago wanted
Cook county to be admitted to the
Union as a separate state, Cook coun-
ty would be admitted. Why? Because
everybody in Chicago would go at it,
and keep going. Every state legisla-
ture would be induced to pass resolu
ions in favor Of the project; every
newspaper in the county would be
Wheedled into advocating it, Chicago
furnishing the editorials and paying for
their appearance if need be; every or
ganization in Chicago would deluge the
world with literature on the subject; /
every doctor, lawyer, merchant, broker,
manufacturer, business man, would
ave his demands and the reasons for
them blazoned OF his stationery, so that
private letters, treating of person.
al matters, would treat first and fore
most of the public matter nearest the
Chicago heart. One way to break down
opposition is to beat it down. to weary
it in actual conflict"
The speaker also said: Just how
your admission to statehood can be
brought about the Lord knows, and he |
a way of helping those only who
help themselves. 1t is easy to specify
how the longed-for event will not hap
1t will not happen through aca-
demic discussions of abstract rights I
among yourselves. 1t will not happen f
through a serene contemplation Of your
thumbs, however long continued. You (
will not fall into the Union as a SOM
sometimes falls into a barrel, +
with ease and unconscious dignity"

PRESS COMMENT.
GAGE NOT TO BLAME.

Denver Times.)
The statement of Mr.. Ellis H. Rob-
erts, the treasurer of the United States,
that the Internal revenue collections
were temporarily put into the National
City Bank of New York solely for con-
%venience OF distribution, together with
the issuing of "a list of the first group
OF banks throughout the country Sc
lected for repositories, showing the very
Wild and undiscriminating division Of
public moneys, is a complete and
crushing answer to the senseless howl
of the bilious press against Secretary
Gage, in which he was charged with
using the peoples money to favor the
National City Bank of New York with
a view to forming a great national
banking trust, Of which he was to be
the head. The statement Of Treasurer
Roberts shows that the 81, SAG, 900 was
distributed among SIXTY mine banks in
forty-four cities of the country, all the
way from Boston to New Orleans, and
from Norfolk. Va, to Tacoma, Wash.

ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM CASE.

Denver Republican,
The decision of Judge Parker in the
Elephant Butte lam case, which is ad-
verse to the claims of the government,
is of great value to the irrigated part
Of the far west.
1t is true that the question before
Judge Parker was purely one of fact,
but his decision is, nevertheless, on the
right side for irrigation interests in this
state and other parts of the arid re
gion. He holds that there Is not suffi :
Gent water flowing past the town of
terfered with by the proposed dam, to
affect the navigation of the Rio GrandA
at Rio Grande City, the head OF navi-
cation.
1t could be shown with equal def :
niteness that the waiter diverted in this
state from the Arkansas and the Platte
is not sufficient to materially affect the
n~avigability of those streams. Never
IT, sless, it may become necessary some
day for the farmers of Colorado to fight
for t'seir homes in the courts against
the claim that in order to maintain the
navigability of the Arkansas, irrigation
in the Arkansas valley should be pro-
hibited. 1t would be an outrage of the
most grievous character if farming by
irrigation should be prohibited in any
of the valleys of Colorado on the plea
of its necessity in order to admit Of the
navigation of the Arkansas near its
mouth by some petty little steamboat
carrying a few hundred tons of freight
each trip.

New Mexico hopes to see the Socorro
proposition for securing water from
wells for extensive reclamation of lands
SOON materialize. Socorro Is not to be
beaten in the quality of her lands.
There is undoubtedly water to be had
from flowing wells, or by pumping, re-
CARELESS of dams and reservoirs. The
system OF irrigation down the valley is
old enough to be discarded for some
thing newer, and the practice of vast
ing water to make roads miry given
up. When New Mexico comes really up
to date she will establish a manufac-
tory and make cement pipe for irri-
eating waters to be carried through, and
thus economize the supply and also use
such pipes for drainage of lands under
laid with a hardpan impervious to wa
ter, and which consequently become
soaked and filled with alkali.

Santa Ee Exhaustion.

There 10 a new rumor that the Santa

Southern line from Denver to the gulf.
Whether the southern line ia taken in
or not, the Santa Fe has trackage

probably soon be routing freight from
New York to San Francisco by the gulf,
thence northward over the Denver line
