An impossible story.

The Albuquerque Journal.Democrar
insinuates that the saioonmen OF Albu-
querque have bought the legislative as
sembly twice in the Sunday law ques-
ton. This insinuation cannot be sub
stantiated In any manner. II may,
however, be n fact that money has
been collected from albuquerque ga
loonkeepers for distribution among
members of the assembly, but as to the
members OF the Legislative assembly
having received any of this money that
is another story. as Rudyard kipling
would say, Is It not possible that the
parties who did the collecting did some
buying and selling OF votes lin their
minds eye. Horatio." In the meantime
II can safely be asserted that the pres
ent Sunday law will stand as IL is, and
an effort is being made to supplemnt
II by the passage OF measure which
will compel more strict observance
OF IL by the people and enforcement
by district attorneys and sheriffs.-

THE CASE AS WE SEE 1T.


A great furore Is being stirred up in
this community because the legislat.
ure has amended the act creating the
county OF Sandoval and by that
amendment naming the county com

lilo.

The socialists and democrats were
not so rampant in San Miguel county

carvod) at that time az they now
seem to be In this section Of Bernalillo
county. and no such ranting and raw

The Citizen docs not expect 10 pla-
cate democrats and socialists. II that
could be done, We have no assurance
that they would long remain placat-
ed
We are especially appealing to re-
publlcans and we urge them to take
the second thought,
Again. we say, this ection q the leg
islature WAS valid.
In 1899 the legislature appointed
every district attorney in the territory
by naming them in the law defining
the districts in which they were to
serve.
This act was declared valid by the
courts.
The organic act. as II is called-a
law of congress--which Is our consti-
tuition. vests the governor with the
power to appoint all territorial officers
by and with the advice and consent OF
the legislature. All county or district
officers, 1t provides, shall be elected or
appointed as provided by law. The
power TO make the law is vested in the
legislature. II has done so by an UNI
animous vote.
We submit there Is nothing in the
situation 10 cause republicans to stay
awake at nights on account OF the dis
appointment OF the hopes the demo-
Gratis and socialists had Of getting a

can Judge, the usual amount is set and

the most desirable thing for the tobacco
is warm, sunny weather. On many fields
the continued rainy weather leaves it
looking rather bad" South Deerield:
THE acreage set to tobacco is Just about
the same as that of last year. The lat
est set is looking rather poor, as the land
is so wet, and the weather isn't the best

far. We hear of no sales, nor do we ex-
pect any until the crop has passed

EDGERToN, Wis, July 10. 1903.
The tobacco crop is now making up
for lost time under about as satisfactory
weather conditions as the growers could
wish for, and the present rate of ad-
vancement will soon overcome all the
delays and waits of the transplanting
season. AS general thing the fields
show quite an even stand with but few
missing plants. The growth is strong
and healthy and frequent rains keep the
soil supplied with necessary moisture to
sustain an amazingly rapid develop
ment. The prospects for the crop are
most certainly as promising as other sea-
sons of this date.
Matters remain unchanged in the old
leaf market and trade continues dull.

Buying of the 1902 crop thinner and

pace, at prices varying all the way from
81 to 10c through for thinner and to
7c straight for seedleaf.
Farmers have been persistent and un-

crop during the past few days respite
from rain, and the work of transplantlng
is still being pushed with vigor. No
trouble from cut-worms has been ex-
perienced, and although the new crop in
the field is yet quite small in growth, all
things considered, it is looking we'll. The
late advent of hot weather has inaug-
urated harvesting and haying. and as
soon as these crops have been cared for,
the cultivation of the tobacco will be
prosecuted in earnest.-News.
