- A BeastIy Limit.
There are signs of the early dis
Indignation of the bureau of immi-
grafton. The graft connected with
this bureau is not so great as that

Good Advice.

A Short Crop.
The late rains have put this Sec
ton OF the country well up with the
most favored localities of the terri
tory. Everything growable appears
to be springng into life with wonder
full ripidity, whether it be weeds or
the late hatch OF ducks From pres
ent indications the only shortage this
season will be in the biennial crop OF
candidates. Only one or two green
sprouts have yet appeared above the
surface of this political half-acre, and
even they seem to be timidly looking
forward to a November frost.--White

It's Different Now.
After all, citizens of New Mexico
are not SO much after territorial ap-
pointments as the newspapers seem
to make them out to be. There are
vacancies now on the penitentiary
commission and on the board of re-
gents of the Las Vegas Normal uni
versity. These places are not very
profitable, but an appointment to-
either Is, nevertheless, somewhat of a
distinction.--Santa Fe New Mexican.
And probably the reason lies in the
fact that there is less opportunity to
graft since the administration of Gov
ernor Hagerman began. When there
is less rush the chance Is better for
securing good men for territorial po-
sitions men who win take an interest
in them and not abuse the trust inn
posed in them by the executive

Let the Women DO the Work.
The influence of the New Mexican
Is waning. After trying for two
years to influence the action of the
city council of the city of Santa Fe
and scoring Il goose egg, 1t turned
its attention to electing d mayor and
council to its own liking. 1t gave
advice to the voters of the city in all
opathic doses and succeeded only in
getting its ticket buried out of sight.
Since the election it has been telling
the council how to run the city with
out securing even the smallest recog-
milton. 1t has now. apparently, abon-
doned the job. and is calling on the
Woman's Board of Trade to help.
What a spectacle! How are the
mighty fallenl The dictator of public
policies in New Mexico calling on the
women to assist in converting the city
council! We are surprised at this
confession of weakness.-Santa Fc
