Santa Fe N NJ, July u, 1902.
To the New Mexican:
The first Methodist sermon preached
in Santa Fe was by the Rev. E. G.
Nicholson in the fall of $50: soon after
New Mexico became a territory of the
United States. Mr.. Nicholson also or
ganzed a church society, but the
members being mostly attaches of the
army. when the array moved, the
church was gone. Later in 1868, the
Rev. j. L. Dyer made his headquarters
at Santa Fe, preaching here with some
frequency, and he organized in Santa
Fe small Methodist class. The Rev
Thomas Harwood in 1870 frequently
visited the city, and spent a Sunday
here holding services. From that time
to the present. the church has for the
most part been supplied with a pastor.
In 1880, the Rev. II. Fl. Hall began the
erection of the present old adobe church
situated on San Francisco street. The
Rev. David II. Moore of Denver, now
Bishop Moore, dedicated this church in
April, 1881. The Church Extension So
ciety of Philadelphia made to the
church a donation of $1,000, and later
of $500. There was never a cent of this
loan paid until last summer when the
trustees, with Rev. w. A. Cooper as
pastor, paid off the Indebtedness. In
october the old church and parsonage
were sold to the Spanish Methodists,
looking toward a new church. Tomor-
row we lay the corner stone of the new
church, which when completed, will be
one of the neatest and most attractive
church buildings in the territory. 1t is
being built entirely of penitentiary
brick. The pastor and trustees desire
to thank all persons and citizens who
have contributed to this worthy enter
prise, and also to the Church Extension
Society for former and present help.

Pastor.

OUR NOBLE POSTAL SERVICE.

One OF the many proofs OF prosperity is
to be seen In the immense increase of pos
tai receipts for the last fiscal year which
exceeds those Of the preceding fiscal year
by about $4,000 900. Nine-tenths OF this
increased income was applied to improve
ments Of the service. so that the postoface
department cost the people $s,2E2,S5e more
than the net revenue derived from II. But
nobody expected the postal service to be
self-sustaining and no appropriation is
more cordially approved than that for this
department The rural free delivery ser
vice, the most notable recent postal ad-
vance, has past the experimental stage
and become an established fact. The post
master general in his latest report COM
mends this new service heartily and an
nounces that of the 100000 to be ulti-
mately covered by 1t one-third is now kept
In constant touch with the centers Of pop
uiation. Many privileges are thus secured
to millions of people in our rural regions
which they have never enjoyed before.
The 11,650 rural free delivery routes be-
stow benefits, the value of which cannot
be estimated, and the system Is growing
steadily in popularity.
The postmaster general expresses his
hope and belief that congress win con-
tinue to increase the appropriations for
this service until all the people OF the
country are reached. he makes also the
following recommendations:
l. Extension OF free delivery to towns
Of 5000 population or $500 gross postal
receipts.
2. Parcel-post conventions with Great
Britain and other European countries, like
the one now in force with Germany, with
four pounds only mot eleven as with
Germany as the limit.
3. Lower rates Of postage between this
country, Britain, Germany and France.
The efficiency OF no department Of our
government Is advancing more steadily
than that Of our postofice department and
the continuance OF a liberal policy toward
1t is demanded by our people Of all Sec
tons, all parties and all classes.

PROSPEROUS OKLAHOMA.

The claim for admission TO the union
which Oklahoma presents Is so convincing
that it will be manifestly unjust to deny
her application.
Governor FERGUSON In his statement to
the interior department for this year es-
Inmates the population Of this territory at
more than 540.00o-a gain OF 10000 in
twelve months. Property listed for tax
alton is assessed at "a IL million dollars
about 20 per cent above last years val
uation. The territory is traversed by
nearly 1850 miles OF railway lines, a third
OF which were built last year. More is
now under construction than ever before
Stock raising is still an important indus
try, but as a business distinct from farm
Ing It has been pressed further and further
westward.
About $4,000 acres OF grazing land are
still open to settlement in western Okla
homa.
The growth and development OF this ter
ritory have been phenomenal. It is far
better qualified for statehood than sew
eral OF the states of the far west and as
the Republicans seem to have a safe ma
jority there. Oklahoma's chances of ad-
mission at an early date are good
Arizona and New Mexico are Democratic
and. therefore, the fact that both OF them
are fairly entitled to statehood win prob
ably be ignored by the present congress.

The COLOR LINE IN CUBA.

Among the many troubles that Cuba
has to contend with Is q constant friction
between the white element, native and
foreigner. on the one side, and the ne
groes and mulattoes on the other.
There is a prospect that a race war will
be the result Of this increasing antipathy
and the annexation OF the island to the
United States would certainly be hasten
ed BY such an occurrence. The leaders
Of the white population in Havana are
bringing pressure to bear on President
Palma to restrain him from giving social
recognition TO the negroes and IL is said
that serious conflict will surely be the
result II the races are mixed at the presi-
dents receptions. The negroes. on the
other hand. threaten to attack the execu-
tive mansion II they are excluded from
the official receptions there.
The advocates of annexation are en-
couraged by the outlook. They insist that
the success of their policy would be the
making of Cuba and contend. with good
show OF reason, that with annexation
there would be such an influx of white
people into Cuba they would soon be in
