lay ifeless upon the deck, the blood

The three archers named stood at the
further end of the poop, balancing them
selves with feet widely spread and bows
drawn, until the heads of the cloth-yard
arrows were leyel with the centre of the

Since he supply of pie is getting
short for the Territorial printer, we
suggest that there be printed, at pub
lie expense, a report as to how many
acres of rock have been located for
the benefit of Territorial institutions,
whether the roc is accessible by bal
loon or otherwise, and whether it
could be used for building purposes,
and whether it would be feasible TO
construct a few Territorial institu-
ions near the crests of the mountain
ranges where this rocky property of
the Territorial institutions is locat-
ed. The appendix to the work might
be filled with a dissertation by the
locator of public lands as to now
lands can be located with ease and
celebrity by the judicious use of a map.

coed $3.50 a copy.-Santa Fe Eagle.

THE ARTEslAN WELL LAW.

Among the things don by the Ros-
well Commercial Club within the past
two years, and which will result Ill
timately in great good and advan-
tage to the Pecos Valley, was it's
preparation through its proper COM
mittee and the passage by the last
legislature of what is generally known
as the Artesian Well Law. The pur-
pose, and the only PURPOSE, of this
law was to preserve and conserve
and have used to the greatest extent
for irrigation and development of the
lands of the Pecos Valley the splen-
did water supply. The Club realized,
as every citizen realizes, that the
water supply of this Valley is it's
greatest wealth, and it was the gen
eral belief of citizens, and especially
of the members of the Roswell Com
per cent of the water which had been
either secured by artesian wells or
by diversion from stream was be-
ing used for beneficial purposes. 1t
was this fact and the desire to get
the greatest use, to preserve to the
greatest extent the water supply
and to continue that supply to other
generations, that prompted the Club
to prepare n secure the passage
of the above law. 1t was not the
work of any individual, but the work
of the organization. Nobody can
claim the credit and the responsible
ity of its becoming a law need no
be thrust upon any individual. What
EVER objection there may be to some
features of it, the members of the
Commercial | feel that h day
is not far distant when those who
are relying upon water for wealth
in the Pecos Valley will feel dispos-
ed by a resolution of thanks to lay
the credit of this legislation at the
door where it belongs, and will
bless and cease to blame anyone for
this benefcent legislation.

1t would be a very proper thing
for the Governor to re-apportion the
Territory. We believe that the last
apportionment was made by l.. Brad
ford Prince wnen he was Governor.
Since that time there have been very
material changes in the population of
the Territory. Cities have taken the
places of villages, and counties which
were not then created have become
populous. The representation from
some parts of the Territory is en-
tirely too small, while other sections
have more tnan their share. Appor-
tionment is within the power of the
Governor, and there is no better time
to do this work than now.-Santa Fe

Career.
The Washington Star sees a guber-
Material possibility in the person of
w. R. Hearst, member OF, congress
from New York and who was unable
to get a recount of the ballots at the
recent New York City election where
it was claimed that he had a major
ity for mayor. In a recent editorial
the Star says:
Say what you please, Mr.. Hearst
is a lucky man. How much longer
the tickle goddess will remain with
him is a question. She takes a fell
low up, and hen deserts him, very
Unexpectedly and very unaccountably
After it is all over it is hard for
such a fellow or his friend to figure
is celebrating.
Consider few points. Last fall Mr..
Hearst was only a local New York
political quantity, and not strong
there. Although a member of ong
ress by the grace of Tammany, he
was yet at loggerheads with that
organization and in opposition to it's
municipal ticket. His hope at most
seemed to be t defeat Tammany.
But, returning from Europe near the
close of the campaign, he found the
situation so encouraging that he ac-
cepted a mayoralty nomination him
self, and was elected.
"Tammany, defeated at the polls,
counted his man in, and Mr.. Hearst
passed from the grade of victor to
the higher grade of martyr. Many
men who had opposed him as a can
didate now felt sympathy for him
as the victim of foul work, and ex-
pressed the hope that in some way
justice might be done.
But justice has not been done, Mr..
Hearst, VINO was elected mayor, as
Mcclellan, who was not elected, holds
the office and has many of his friends
well placed. The matter thus remains
a scandal at the expense of Tam
many and it's abettors, and is affect
ing the situation as respects the COM
ing gubernatorial contest. Mr.. Hearst
and his friends insist that as he has
been despoiled of his own in the city
he should appeal for ~vindication to
the state as a candidate for governor;
and it looks very much as if he
he does yield, there can be no ues-
ton that the race will be one of
extraordinary vigor on his part, and
that both Tammany and the republi-
will find it necessary to be
alive in his presence.
TT is to be noted that this change
mas taken place during Mr.. Bryan's
absence. When he left home for his
foreign tour he knew Mr.. Hearst as
only one of his followers. When he
returns he will find Mr.. Hearst in
business for himself, and with a fol
of his own of considerable
