OPPOSITION TO the shipping bill now pending In congiess Is dictated almost wholly by the belief, pxptessed, for ex ample, in thp cm lent number of the Knglnppilng News, that "tho pilndplo of fost"ilng sppclnl Industtlos by til led p-iyiiien,ts fiom the nnitlonnl treistiiy Is a new one for thp United State." Hut Is this pilnelplo a new one? tins It not bepn aplled in numerous ways In tho pasty The piotcctlve tar llf when tin own mound the Infant Industry to piotoct It against nilnotis lotelgn competition is different In de tail, but Is it not Identical In policy? Tho grant of government land to laigo lallway enterpilsos calculated to open to .settlement and civilization vast tiacts of dcseit or pi able, one of the moans wlieiebv our great continental Punk linos weie encouingod In tho eaily days of western development, was dilferent In detail, the chief dlf feionce being that tho Subsidy was one oMnncl title Instead of ensh; but the pilnelplo Is identical. Tlipe meth ods have each ben ciltlclsed severely, the lines of nigument following closely those now employed to idefeat tlie shipping bill: but each policy has been magnificently vindicated by 10 sults. The light ot the government to fos ter a special lndtistiy by dliect pay ments fiom tho national trcasuiyls (oi)stitutionally imptegnablo under the clauso empoweilng congiess to pun ide for tho gonenl weltaio. It is exoicised a thousand times evciy day by mall subsidies, by picmlums for w at ship speed in ocos of contract lequircments, by awards to test an-i develop special discoveries In otd nnnce, by appropilatlcms for pnpum.it ic tube mail delivery, etc., etc., Those expendltuies aie lustiftcd upon the giound that tho benefit confeued up on the pellicular lecipiont of thp money Is only incidental to a laigo and lasting public benefit. This Is the basis of the aigumotu for shipping, subsidies. Tiio gain In the upbuilding of an Anieiicnn mei thant matine is incident. il to tho ship owner, for If he wanted to bo could imest his money in foicign ships just as easily and at pioscnt more piofp ably. Put the gain to tho nation, to th" publlj welfrue. Is piimarv and esenlinl. Heme the justillcation for govc'iimonta! aid. Theie is consolation in tho thought that walking is good foi the health.

Kxtiaoidlnaiy success attends hoitlcultuio In all Its branches, and the piogiess In this line of pioductlon Is most satisfactory. Tho live-stock Industry ts in a flouiJshlng condition. No business offois moio piolltablo lotuins than does sheep nils Ing and wool growing in New Mex-lco. There Ivis been vast impmvemeiit In tho flocks In iccent yenisj tho wool Blown Is of a dlveisllled cluuactei, scaling all the woy from tho finest De-luiiie-Meiino to the coai.sest caipet, Piactlcally half tho wool clip, it Is said, Is pioftt to the grower, Tho total clip for New Aloxlco for the year Is upwaid of 18,000,000 pounds, Tho number of sheep la the teultory Is estimated to bo over 4,000,000. The vast production of wool has lesulted In tho establish ment of other industries, such as wool bcoming mid wool-pulllng plants and tanneries In vurlous parts of tho tcnl to'ty, Theie have been sold nnd deliv ered since Jaiumry 1, 1900. 86,170 head of cattle; one and two year old steers nt $15 to J20 per head for one3 and S18 to iil for twos. Uuilng tho year end ing Juno 30, UiOO, iH.OW head, mostlv steer cattle, weie sold and i amoved from Iho tenllory amounting tb7 about $1,000,000, and during the same period theie weie brought Into the teirltory to remain, 13,005 head. The gi outer por tion of the slock range Is on public domain, . Noteworthy advancement has been inndo In the cause of popular education. The leirltorlul school system Ih mod pled after that of Illinois ,tnd Kansaa, and a direct, taf Is levied Cor the sup lioi t of such schools, vniylng fiom IVi to .'I mills annually. Piitler the opera tion of these school laws and llle hearty Interest displayed In the Piifotccment tlipieof by Iho people, tho IllltPtacy of Hip teultory has decreased by leaps and bounds. Theto nie B'-MljS ehlldien of school age In the teultory, and the total enrollment In thp schooln Is 37,173. Thp number of public schools Is r,76 and the number of tcaoheis employed 706, whose average monthly pay Is $31.10. In addition ate tho sectailan schools. The Pte.sbytoilan church supports 25 schools, attenilecf by 1,10,", pupils; the Catholics IS, attended by 1,002 pupils; the Methodists It schools, attended by iW pupils, and the Npw West commis sion li schools, attended by 21!) pupils, It Is estimated that tho poicentngo of thp Inhabitants unable to speak Eng lish will now not exceed ir per cent. A teiiltoiial statute compels tho attend ance nt school of all children between the ngos of S and 10 yenis at least tluoe months In each year. Also, in the higher educatlonul Institutions, such as tho University, College of Agriculture and Mechanic Aits, School of Mines, New Mexico Mllltniy Institute, Notmul schools, etc., for the maintenance of which llbeinl legislative endowment Is provided, over 1,000 tonltorlnl pupils nie being educated. Attention Is called to tho fact that the land commission provided for in the act of congress donating fi.OOO.OOO acies of public lands to New Mexico for educational pur poses Is fully oiganlzed and doing ex cellent woik, which will redound great ly to the advantage of the school Inter ests of the tenitoty. Whether It shall be New Mexico's fate to gain the coveted forty-sixth place in the galaxy of states or remain for some time longer In territorial swaddling clothes, her development is to be noted ,nd appreciated and the pluck of hei citizens is to bo esteemed. Whether oung Cudahy's rescue was worth $2,",000 will now doubtless be come the topic of debate, especially since tho law's maximum valuation of a human life In damage suits against can lor cotporatlons is only a fifth as much.
