New life was taken on by the .'htk-

ing actively mined, with excellent re-
suits. It's location, being three niles
from Lordsburg, is splendid, and lie

inviting to capital.
During the year the Orion MininS

Regular shipments have been made.
and the results have been most flattcr-

The Superior Mining Company, which
is operating the well-knowm Superior
mine, has been engaged in development
work for several months, and the show

capitalists are also largely interested in
this company, and held a meeting of
the directors in that city the early part
of this week. This company has an
abundant water flow, in the Superior
all necessary machinery for handling
the water. At the water level Il; rich
body of high-grade ore was encoun-

the property extensively during the

Public Printer vs.. Lowest Bidder.

The American is of the opinion that
it would be unwise to abolish the oftic"
of public printer, as suggested by The
Citizen. The experience of other states
has clearly demonstrated the fact that
the public printer is a practical neces-
sity, and the fact that he is usually a
nan thoroughly skilled in the art of
printing, he generally gives better sat
isfaction to the public than the average
lowest bidder
The lowest bidder is frequently a
man who has no practical knowledge
Of the printing business; but, under the
system of giving the printing to the
lowest bidder. no discrimination can be
tjustly) made because of a mans def
cheney.
while it may be possible to effect
some retrenchment in the public debt
by abolishing the office of public print
er and substitute therefor the lowest
system, the question is, Will it
be expedient and practical to do SOP
Will the interest of the public be best
subserved by such a system? We main
tain that it will not."-AlbuquerGne
American.
The above editorial contains good
sense well expressed. The position ia
ken by the American is correct. The

SUGAR BETS IN new MEXICO.
The Best are Grown in Santa Fe and San
Juan Counties.

Mesilla Park, December 20.-Th4 ;ta-
alyses of samples of sugar beets grown
in the territory this season have again
demonstrated that beets of exceptional"
ly high sugar content can be grown Iii
New Mexico.
For the last four years seed furnished
by the department of agriculture at
Washington has been sent out from the
agricultural experiment station ne1H to
farmers in different parts of the terri
tory, and the beets grown theretrom
analysed in the laboratory of the tu"lil-
ical department. AS a result OF TINS m
vestigation it has been found tina. tire
best results have been ecured in santa
Fe and San Juan counties, and cth'r
sections in the northern portion ii til"
territory.
The average results from Santa lie
and San Juan counties for the last foll'
years, so far as secured, are givci: be-
low:
Average results from Santa Fe and
San Juan counties for 1S97-9S-99~ 1900:
SANTA FE COUNTY.
1897, "a samples, 1.66 pounds, IA - per
cent sugar in beet, 1915 per cent purity;
1898, 10 samples, 10 pounds, lis per
cent sugar in beet, ST. per cent purity,
1899, 4 samples, 90 pounds, 1915 per
cent sugar in beet. S2.5 per cent purity.
SAN JUAN COUNTY.
1897, IA samples, 2 pounds, 1875 pr
cent sugar in beet, S1.3 per cen pl"ity,
1898, 10 samples, 1.20 pounds, 1911 per

1900, 6 samples. 1872 pounds, 10 H FER
cent sugar i'm beet, ST. per cent purity.
The Importance of the above figures
will become more apparent when the
following facts are considered.
/. Beets containing II per cent " su-
gar are considered a paying crop.
.. The averages for such state: as
Iowa and Illinois, for example, in 1897
9S. were respectively 1907 and - "a per
cent of sugar i'm the beet. The latter
Sta1e mas IL ldNSe sugar ldclolA, PtS
sumably in successful operation.
3. The averages of adj the samr."%
from New Mexico, analysed during 1897
SO, were respectively 14.46 and 1915 per
cent of sugar in the beet. while the az
erages for Santa Fe and San Juan coun-
ties, given above, are considerably
higher.
If such states as Illinois and Neofas-
ka, producing very much lower %"ad"
beets than can be produced in this t.:r-
ritory, can successfully maintain agar
factories, why should we not havI m2re
factories in New Mexico? There ave
portions of this territory having an
abundance of land, water, fuel. like
stone, etc, for the use of sugar fac'o-
ries, where we confidently believe as
high-grade beets can be grown as can
be produced anywhere in the United
States.
In establishing future factories in the
territory, however, capitalists WOULD do
we'll to study the results secured by the
experiment station, as there is 4 very
decided difference between different
parts of the territory in beet producing
powers. ARTHUR GOSS.

The Advantage OF Public Schools.

East Las Vegas is spending 10000 for
a new school building and improving
an old school building. That investmnn'
will bring East, Las Vegas more thar
compound interest. Albuquerque TO-
day has several hundred desirable in
habitants more because it has beautiiu,
school buildings and spends about So
600 annually in a proper manner Upon
it's school system. Roswell will attract
many more hOme-seekers because If is
building a $25. 900 school building. Ra,-
ton made such a good gain in poruia-
ton the last ten years because Il has
so good a school system. Silver City is
proud of its schools, and has d good
school building, and therefore attracts
people who have children and ,iGstre
them to have a good public school cd
ucation. Gallup is acquiring a desil-
able reputation for its splendid public
school system. and even some of tae
smaller towns in the territory are max
ing paying efforts to keep abreast with
modern progress in the line of pu'lic

y Democratic paper in the Pecos V@i~
ley, without the least cause, makes a
bitter attack upon the thirty-fourth
Legislative assembly, and asserts that
the a~pportionment for Legislative pur-
poses to be made by that body wiz pa
unfair. dishonest and unjust. The pa
per in question knows absolutely moth
ing about this. 1t is simply ta!kin (
through it's hat. The chances are all in
faVCr of the Legislative assembly do
ing the right, just and fair thing, in the
way of apportionment, but at the same
time it with very bad grace from
a Democratic paper to make such
charges. There is not a state in the
United States where a Democrat leg
islature has had a chance to make ap-
portionments for congressional an ! leg
islative purposes where the apportion-
ment was fair, just or honest. quite
the reverse. In every case where suc!l
bodies have been controlled by Demo
Gratis they have made apportionmen $
to suit themselves and their party pnr-
poses without the least regard to jas
tice, honesty or fairness.

Archbishop Ireland has upon frequent
occasions proved himself an ardent pa

President Mckinley to investigate Ger
tain matters with reference TO TIE

that the church acquired much
property and many privileges in Cuba
which are not in accordance W!.h the

Judge Daniel H. McMillan's

Judge Daniel H. McMillan's appoint
ment as associate justice of the SUI
preme court for New Mexico has beea
twice confirmed within ten days. 1t may
be presumed that the attacks made up
ON the appointment by d few Rerub-
lican and most of the Democratic pa
pers of the territory have induced the
President to send Judge McMillan $
appointment to the senate twice, so rs
to be absolutely sure. 1T is a we'll
known fact that at the national capital
these papers have a vast amount oil
influence with the United States senate,
and therefore the president was not go
ing to give them any chance to say tnat
the appointment had not been fairly
made. He wanted to make assurance
deadly sure.

The West Point haZing inquiry Is
bringing out the fact that young men
at college and at military schools are
the same the world over. They will
have their fun with the lower class
men, and often with their classmates.
They are rough at times WithG,t in
tending to be brutal. and once in \ long
while an accident occurs which opens
the eyes of the world to college DrEnkS
and makes them appear very crlrl. Blu.
neither legislation nor discipline will
change this, and if Il boy is sen&;ti"t
and unable to take his part in any horse
play attempted upon him, he had better
stay at home and receive his education
from the hands of private tutors. This
may not be right in principle, but this
old world of ours isn't altOgeth". rim
on principle, and the average man must
take circumstances as he finds them.

Enemies OF the Nicaragua Canal.

The Hay-Pauncefote treaty has
passed the senate, but with amend
ments which do not make it quite
agreeable to the British. 1t seems that
the Panama canal interests and certain
other influences arrayed against the
construction of the Nicaragua canal, rs
we'll as the Anglophobes, have succeed
ed in executing a flank movement
against the construction of the Nicara-
qua canal, which will make all alvo-
Gates of the neutral international wa-
terway somewhat hot under the collar.
Great Britain, however, might spoil
their we'll laid game by accepting the
treaty ever in its present jinso,stlc
form. This would bring joy to Pres'
dent Mckinley and Secretary of State
Hay. who have been accused by the ell
emies of the Nicaragua canal of having
sold out to England, an accusaFirh so
absurd hat it ought to bring Il blush
of shame to the cheeks of the amend
ers of the treaty.

The Grout ~OleomargarIne Bill,

The ole~omargarine bill should De de-
feated. 1t is special legislation to help
along one class at the expense of an
other. Oleomargarine. it has becn
proved, is just as healthful as creamery
butter, and is a legitimate article of
food that has placed a piece of bread
and butter within the reach of the poor
est. The farmers ought to have no
grievance against it. for the price of
farmers butter has not fallen on ac-
count of the use of oleomargarine, nor
has the demand for farmers butter de-
creased 50 much that there is no sale
for it. The use of oleomargarine may
have decreased the importation OF but
ter from Canada. but otherwise it has
had no influence upon the market fol
the natural product, unless in a few so
lated instances. But eve if it had, even
though it crowded farmers butter OFT
of the market altogether. that would
not be any reason for making the sale
of o~leomargarine so Improbable that l.
would amount to a prohibition of its
use. The manufacture of oleomar"a"ine
demands raw material and factory
processes that give and will give M
plOyment to many men with families,
while to the farmer, the sale of butter
is generally a mere incidental III his
income. If it can be proved that riao-
margarine is deleterious to the health.
then Legislation aimed against its use
would be proper. but under other e.
cumstances congress might as wei! pass
a law taxing the baking of rye bread
because it decreases the consumption at
corn cookies.

President Mckinley's popular vote is
the largest ever received by any candi-
date for the presidency. His plu atty,
too. exceeds that of General Grant, who
heretofore held the record for plurality
in u presidential election. The plcei-
dents popular plurality reaches 0earlJ
a million votes, and it can be trul' said
that he has grown in popularity tie

A New Party Attainment.

EX-President Grover Cleveland has
to leave its false gods and to follow TIC
penates worshiped in Mr.. Cleveland's
household. OF course, he is being an
swered with a derisive shout of laugh
ter by the Bryanite followers, who have
no disposition to give up the empty
honors of the hour to the has beens ;
of the party. Blu there is no question
about it that the $500, 900 Democratic
voters of the country will shift their
position considerably by the time thai
the next presidential election ar-
proaches. 1t takes no prophet to tel,
that free silver will never again cut
much of a figure in any campaign. AS
TO the hope that the Democratic party
The $500, 900 votes representing the Op-
position to the Republican party are not
at all reconciled by defeat. and viii
hardly to any great extent vote the
Republican ticket four years hence.
There will always be one or more oppo-
Sltlon parties. New questions Will arlSa
on which citizens will differ. The next
four years must be a very eventual pc
riod in the nations history. The nation
is on the threshold Of a new career. Th,
decision of the supreme court in the
Philippine and Porto Rice cases may
give an entirely different aspect to a
party principle. Cuba may be a source
of contention. The next congress will
put life into several old issues and cr,.
ate new ones, and that means opposi-
ton to the party in power, for a u
try without issues and without parties
is either retrograding or is dead.

The Democrats of this territor.t are
en~deavoring to prove that harmony is
lacking in the Republican party because
there is lively competition for the fed
tory by President Mckinley. That such
an assertion is foolishness is apparent.
1t is to the credit of the Republican
party that it has more than one u!aii
who dare aspire to political honors, 3nd
it is a sign that a party is not boss rid
