ONE LAS VEGAS.

There Is comparatively little senti-
ment on either side Of tie river for
two corporate cities of Las Vegas.
The wisdom Of the ages has moulded
itself into the meaningful proverb, "A
house divided against itself shall fall"
Thousands of times In the brief his
tory Of this union has the %proverb
proven itself true in the case Of close
" related towns and cities. In the
course of longer or shorter time, the
cities have become one, either by un-
ion or absorption; one has distanced
the other entirely in the race for dis
tinction, or both have fallen as the
divided house of the proyerb, and 9th
er cities, less advantageously situated.
with less resources, with less rosy
promise at the outset, have grown
great. The situation here Is not diff
ferent from that which many communi-
ties have had to face. There are prob
lens that the citizens OF Las Vegas
must settle. ana 1t Is Of infinite and ur-
gent importance that they be settled
right.
Past question, the time has come
| when the citizens of the west side
should enjoy the privileges and reap
the advantages OF municipal govern
ment. The people there are wide
awake. intelligent, progressive. the
business men successful and enter.
prising, ready and able TO bear and
share the expense of maintaining a
city government. The sentiment
among them IL almost unanimously
that the wise thing TO do II TO unite
the greater and more important por-
ton Of the west side with the greater
and more important portion OF the east
side, making n substantial city that
will take It's place. as 1t should, as the
foremost city Of New Mexico.
The Optic must admit that a number
of citizens Of the east side are op-
posed to Incorporation with the west
side. We presume they take such q
position honestly and thoughtfully
We believe they are wrong. The
wealth, enterprise and energy OF the
combined city Of Las Vegas. II exer
cised intelligently, cannot but have an
infinitely more important effect in the
development OF the interests OF the
city and surrounding country, than the
same amount Of wealth and enterprise
and energy expended separately. In
the eyes of the world, a greater Las
Vegas will be a much more desirable
field for investment and residence
than two Las Vegases could ever be,
So long as the cities have separate
Interests. so long will there be n Ger
tain amount Of pickering and III feel
Ing that are bound to work injury &c
our interests. The Optic believes that
the time has come for the people Of
On sections uf Las Vegas to get Il
gether and decide upon q broad and
conservative plan OF union that will
guard the specific interests Of both
communities. ensure the united de
yclopment Of every industry and en-
terprise that will make for the upbuild
