EX-GOVERNOR AxTELL.

Some CT the western interior
newspaper have been using Elk
Governor AxteIPs name very freely
again lately, most of them in gay
thatshows they know little or roth
ing of the man or the matter. Tn, Sc
editors who understand the ques-
lions that have lately brought Axtell
prominently before the public,
heartily applaud him for the course
he has taken. The particulars of
the affair are simply these: The
Canyon del Aqua Mining company
of New Mexico for some years have
been working a valuable copper
mine, claiming the exclusive owner
ship ot the same under title derived
from the United States. The com>
panY have expended large sums in
the development of the property
and the erection of reduction works.
The Otero brothers claimed tie title
to the mine, but without taking the
trouble to go to the courts for their
rights, adopted the original though
bsrbaric course of employing force.
One day last May while the workmen
were at dinner, a mob Of armed
men, hired Tor the occasion by the
Oteros, entered the mine and warn
ed the owners and all others to keep
off the premises under pain of
death. The warning was needed,
backed as it was. and up till the
middle of July the Jumpers" were
still in possession. The Canyon del
Aqua company laid the
matter before Chief J ustice Axtell,
who upon the presentation of the
facts, issued an order of injunction
requiring the men holding the mine,
their agents and attorneys to desist
from the trespass. It should be
stated the lawyers hsu advised the
Oteros to the course pursued. Justice
AxtelTs order was served upon the
defendants, who, however, dis
regarded it, continuing to hold the
mine in defiance of the court. AxtelI
thereupon summoned the Oteros,
their agents and attorneys to show
cause why they should not be pun.
ID for contempt in disobeying
his der. The Otero brothe4s an
swered that they had disObeyed the
injunction because they claimed to
be owners Of the mine, and the

the bench. and it is gratifying to
know that while his detractors
have been constantly decreasing In
number, his friends are multiplying
and to-day the intelligent, progress
sive element Of New Mexico Is
heartily in accord with him.
The Governor retains pleasant
recollections of his brief sojourn IN
Utah, and expects ere long to visit
his many friends in this Territory
The HERALD can assure him of a
hearty welcome, for there have been
few executives here who are
held in more kindly remembrance
by the masses, than Governor AK
tell.

Killed on the Utah and North
ern.

Coroner Sarschet returned yester.
day fIom the divide where he held
an inquest on the body Of Thomas
Jackson, who was run over and
killed by a hand-car on Monday.
jackson was a section boss on the
Utah and Northern railroad. He
had been working with his men on
the track about three miles from
Silver Bow. Returning to the sec
tion house at Buxton, jackson sat
upon the side of the hand-car near
the front, with his feet hanging over
and dragging upon the ties. When
about two miles from Buxton be
was thrown off from the Car, either
by the handles. by which the car Is
propelled, striking him, or by his
feet catching in the ties. His head
struck the rail in front of the car,
which came upon him with such
force as to throw it from the track.
His head wasRterribly crushed and
death ensued almost Immediately.
a singular case of presenGimenJ Is
related in connection with this case.
At midnight, the night before his
death, jackson was so fOrcibly
seized with the idea that he was
going to die, that he arose from bed
ami going TO a neighbours house,
woke him up and had him write a
will which he signed. The deceased
was about so years Of age, and
leaves a wife and two small child
rens-Butte Mi9leT.

SENATOR BUTLER. of North Car

SENATOR BUTLER, of North Car
DINA, has for the time dropped poll
tics and craftsmanship, and is turn
ing his attention to bringing about
a local reform in rosd-making. He
finds the roads of his state in an
abomirably bad condition; and the
road laws are so badly admin
istered that the people are
anxious to escape the road tax
rather than repair the highways
Patriotism, he says, is the only
inducenent to work and patriotism
never worked a road fit for a goat to
travel from the days when Roman
consuls and proctors made their
enduring ways" May Senator
Butler succeed IN his new and
laudable effort. A Senator who i'm
proves the the roads of his state is
worth more to the country at large
than six of the average statesmen
of Washington.

Retarding Progress.

One thing that is painfully
apparent in portions of the city near
the business centre, is lack of dis
position on the part or property
owners to improve, or allow others
to improve. The old California
corral corner was at one time case
in point, the old city meat market
was another; the corner opposite the
Cliff House, east, is an existing
illustration, and many others might
be mentioned. There are any num-
Der of clap trap places on the State
road, and one spot, which is not only
a disgrace, but is also unsafe, is at
the intersection of Second South
and the State road, where there is a
large hole in the corner. This is
largely a fault all over the city.
There are owners of property on Sec
ond South, First South, Commercial
on Main, and in fact every other bus
mess street, who will not improve
the property themselves, nor sell
but rather grant long leases at low
figures, which continues the exist
ence of shanties and breakdown
places for years. If man has not
the nerve, or the means to build, he
had better sell his property. The
money realized will pay him as
great interest in another direction
as it does on the land; while the
chances are that a purchaser will
erect new, large and permanent
buildings on the site now occupied
by disgraceful shanties, thereby
improving the appearance of the
locality, Enhancing the value of
property thereabOut, and insur-
ing greater revenue to the city
ANY person holding valuable
properly who will neither sell noI
improve it, is doing an injury tC
citizens generally and to the cor
poratiOn, He is like the dog in the
manger. Of course, a nan cannot
be forced to sell, but where he car

price, hen the money thus secured
viii return him in other equally
safe directions as great an interest
ano when some one else would
beautify and improve the property
which he holds, he is an injury t.
community and deserves to bt
censuTed. 1t is down right mean
ness, penuriousness and a disregard
for the welfare of the CITY where
he resides, and the sooner he has 1
funeral, the better 1t will be for thu
world.

THE ELECTION.

That there may be no mistake
about the matter, the Herald
again, for the last time, informs the
public that an election will be held
in the Territory tomorrow, the
polls in the various precincts open
Ing one hour after sunrise, and clos.
ing at sunset. Territorial, county
anu precinct officers are to be
chosen, as well as members of the
Legislature. Both parties, the
Peoples and the Liberal, have made
nominations, and the two tickets
are in the field, inviting the ballots
Of tle registered voters. 1t has
seemed impossible to create any en-
thusiasm over this election. The
Liberals have seemingly admitted
and accepted the true situation, and
realizing that it would be vain to
expect success for their candidates,
have done nothing, generously
allowing the ticket to go by default
The Peoples party, approaching
and being controlled by the same
state Of facts, has also rested
quietly, being content to accept
the results in favor of their
nominees. This is all wrong
for both organizations, and
will some day prove disastrous.
Of-course, there can be no doubt in
the mind of any intelligent person
as to the outcome of the voting to-
morrow, The People } candidates
will be elected everywhere, with
the exception of those in some of
the minor and unimportant precints
and also, it may be. with the excep-
ti3n Of the general offices in one
county, There is satisfaction in
this state Of facts. At the same
time the qualification Will be much
or little, according as the votes
polled approach the number of
persons whose names are on the
registry list. The very best political
habit that one can fail into is that
# voting whenever the opportunity
to do so is presented; if once formed
this habit will always thereafter
control the citizen, and he will
deposit his ballet whether or not it
is needed for the success of his
ticket. There invariably comes q
time when every mans vote is re,
required, hence the necessity OF
being ready to cast 1t. Besides, as has
often been shown in these columns
it is the duty of the citizen, that he
owes to his party and the commun-
iJy, not only to vote but TO work fol
the election OF the nominees best
qualified in every respect for the
performance of the duties of the
respective. Offices. These things
being true, the HERALD sincerely
hopes the voters will awake to-
morrow, and manifest sufficient
interest in the election to go to the
polls and deposit their ballots for the
Peoples ticket, and thus show that
they are interested in the continu-
ance of the good, economic and
intelligent administration of public
affairs,

Governor Axtell has had a re-
markabie and exceptional career as
federal ofIice,holder. Such life
in the Territories can hardly be con
sidered the most agreeable exist
ence, for the people of a Territory
rarely if ever feel that strangers
sent among them as officials are as
much entitled to the positions as
residents. The men that govern
ment designates for the places
may be welcomed and treated
with respect and considera-
tion, but the best OF them
are looked upon somewhat in the
light Of aggressors upon the rights
of others. Axtells official life in
the territories has been anything
but a period of bliss, for with brief
intermissions ne has been the vic
tim of vigorous, vile aud vicious as
saults at the hands of some factions
of tue community where he has
been. Almost even with his ar
rival in Utah as governor he was
assaulted In a cruel and heartless man
ner by an unprincipled clique, the
wicked assaults of which are con-
tinued till this day at brief inter
walls. When he was transferred to
New Mexico, where he went also as
governor, those attacks followed
him, and melted others equally
vicious in that territory. He early
ran afOul of an ignorant, prejudiced
class at his new home, and if he
had been maligned here. there he
was abused most shamefuily,
until his enemies finally sue
ceeded in causing his removal,
as they had induced his transfer from
Utah. Ordinarily, the Utah dis
placement would have been the last
of the official and the New Mexican
removal one might think in view Of
the history of federal appointments,
would certainly have shelved AxteI
for all time. The old man retired
from the executive chair and the
territory, only to return after a
brief interval, as chief justice, with
double the power that he had form
erly exercised. There is nothing
like it in the blue book at Washing
ton. The ju6ge has pursued an up
right, dignifed and manly course on
