apparent in the Committee room,
that the general belief was THAI
this latest move on the part Of the
New Mexico citizens, was for the
PURPOSE Of carrying the constitr
tional matter over until after the
next presidential election, in the
hopes that national affairs and luf
ther entanglement Of conditions -
New Mexico, would place the new
state in the Democratic column
70 those on the grounds, it is very
apparent that the case Of statehood,
so far as New Mexico and Arizona
are concerned, nov rests eniirels
n the possibility d the Flood re.
solution finding It's way through
Congress, and there is every reason
to expect that this measure with
its amendments, prevail IN the
Sixty-Second Congress. Delegate
Andrews is lending every energy 70
acccmplisA this, and when the old
MAR Horse gets busy, hesis able %
obtain any results that are within
the range Of human possibility.
The apprehension felt through
out country regarding the prOpos-
ed plan OF the Democratic House
hrevising the tariff, is very well
founded, as the great Western
country, whose products are plac-
ed upon the freelist by the strik-
ing of OF the duty on wool, meats,
cattle, hogs, lumber, coal, lead
and zinc, would be vital blow 70
the interests Of the newef sections
of.the country, and would have It's

not thus far attracted any particu-
liar attention, there are a good many

iect Of geneTaI legislation is SO
generally desired as this, for the
reason that there are tens OF thou
sands OF old soldiers throughout
1 the country who will directly
benefit by the increased pensions.
lFhe measure was easily passed
by the House of Representatives
OF the SixtysFirst Congress and
its failure in the upper branch dur,
ing the last days of the session
was charged to obstructive tactics
resor ted to by Senator Lodge o.

Cotton
Crop

With a record breaking crop, yets
the farmers have a white elephant
on their hands.
Rarely in life time does the
growth and yield 50 nearly approach
perfection, and perhaps never be-
fore has the gathering been such a
difficult problem.
It has developed a fact that chal-
lenges the serious consideration Of
every one interested in its cultiva-
ton, and forces new and burning
issue can we make more than we
can proftably gather?" And we ans
swer yes.
Since the war, fifty years Of ex-
perience has heretofore failed to
impress this issue so prominently
Besides losing heavily in waste,
| it blocks every other branch Of ag-
rioulture, leaving no time to put in
small grain, to make up the cane
crop, to house the other crops and
repair the waste places. The situa-
ton is alarming and depressing to
most farmers and especially to the
all cotton growers,
For instance, we are reliably in
formed that on 4 plantations in the
county, there are between 500 and
600 bales of cotton still running in
the field, with constant deprecia-
ton occurring and labor we'll nigh
completely dcmoralized and reluc.
tant to pick any more.
What is our duty in view Of the
past and pressed by the present?
Let there be line upon line, precept
precept; until the area devoted to
cotton is severely cut down, and
every farmer raises abundance Of
food.stuffs, and his own mules and
horses and the land viii blossom
like the rose and give cheer and
comfort and cash to every tiller OF
the soil. Farmers, answer the
tquestion, Are we not right?
