RYNERsON AND JOSEPH.

To Mr.. Joseph, personally. We
think no objection can be made
from Republican standpoint. lie
is intelligent, he is fairly cultivated
He has fair record. His honesty
is admitted.
We oppose him because he re
presents in himself the reactionarN
or non-progressive element of the
native population.
Because he is nominated upon a
platform which condemns many
things, but proposes nothing, and
ennunciates no principle which any
man disputes.
We support Rynerson, on the
contrary, because lie is also clean,
honest, and intelligent. And,
moreover, he has experienced III
his own lite in New Mexico, all
the Inconvenience arising from
crude Legislation for the Territories,
and the neglect by Congress of our
vital interests. He knows, in a
practical way, what we need, and
has the practical ability to serve
us. He represents, and is identi-
fled with all that is most enterp1z-
ing and progressive in New Mexi-
co. In Congress he would WELD,
without regard to the political com
pleXion of that body, a far greater
influence than Mr.. Joseph could
acquire. And under the circum-
stances, his superiority over Mr..
Joseph III this respect, would be
more decided and noticeable in a
Democratic than in a Republican
House.
For these practical reasons, we
think that the interests of New
Mexico require the election OF Ry-
nerson. For these reasons he will
receive the votes OF very many
men who would not vote tor him
solely because he is Il Republican,
and Of many who have never hith-
erto voted for Republican.

lT is quite common for many
Democrats to characterize Prohibl-
ton as Republican tenet, in the
face of the fact that Maine first en-
forced prohibition in 1851, five
years before the birth OF the Re.
publican party. And moreover,
that it was n Democratic legisla-
ture that conceived and passed the
Maine Law, and Democratic
Governor who signed it. Coming
down .tilI nearer, we find that at the
election in Maine last week, the
Constitutional Amendment carried
by 10000 majority. The Demo
cratic vote of the State was 1000
while but 22, 600 votes were cast
againstit.
The Maine Constitutional Am
endment ratified last week is as fol-
lows. 1t is not nearly so exclusive
as the Kansas Amendment, and,
as a consequence, will be legally
observed better:
The manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors, not including cider, and
the sale, and keeping for sale of
intoxicating liquors, are and shall
be forever prohibited. Except,
however, that the sale and keep
ing for sale Of such liquors for me
dicinal and mechanical purposes
and the arts, and the sale and
the sale and keeping for sale of ci-
der, may be permitted under such
regulations as the law may provide
The Legislature shall enact laws
with suitable penalties for the sup
preston Of the manufacture, sale
and ikeeping tor sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors, with the exception
herein specified.

mailed letter addressed to the
late Senator Morrill,, of Maine, for
getting that SAID distinguished gen
tleman was dead, requesting him
to canvas the Buckeye State for

ment that she received ma such let

is a base forgery. THIS action ON
the part Of the Democracy is in
keeping with its established char
acter. Who has forgotten the in
famous Morey letter forgery9 And
yet Democrats are plenty so shame
less as to laugh when the latter
acknowledged forgery is alluded
to, and say, "Well, we carried

Col. Jewctt relative to himself and

with the intention that they should
be brought to his k(Wildenstein's)
notice, as they We're. They were
intended as a reply to erroneous
statements OF Mr.. W., in the Re
cie'c, relative to the subject matter
The statements had very little in
trinsic Importance, owing to the
fact that Mr.. Nolan's own vote was
sufficient to make the majority of
53 delegates. Col. Jewett's state
ment of the matter embodied not
only his own view of the matter,

w1LFUL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

WILFUL MISREPRESENTAT
The New Mexican Peuje,c, in its
capacity as attorney for Geo. VIM.
Ballou, ct. al, presents, daily,
some misrepresentation of law or
tact in the case of the United States
vs. the claimants of the Canon del
Aqua grants.
The drift Of its sympathies is
worth taking note OF at this time.
1t is the organ of Prince. Its po-
litical lies in Santa Fe are cola
borers with 1t in the effort to per-
pctuate fraud by which a very
valuable property has been stolen
from the Government and the peo-
pie Of New Mexico. 1t appears,
at the same time, as the champion
of a candidate nominated by fraud,
and as the defender of fraudulent
land titles, consecratcd by lapse
of time"
Every issue contains some appeal
for consideration for "innocent
purchasers" on the ground that
they have parted with their money
on the faith of fraudulent "Gov-
ernment surveys" and that the
Government 81 has slept upon its
rights" " for long time"
The fraud in this particular case
is too notorious to be denied, and
the ReoleaC has not attempted to
deny it. No one familiar with the
case has ever venturcd upon the
assertion that the owners of this
fraudulent claim we're "innocent
purchasers without notice" No
lawyer or editor is in these days ig-
norant Of the tact that prescrip-
ton does not run against the SOW
ereign. The &" innocent purchas-
ers," and the Boston and Santa Fe
combination who are now endeav-
oring to perpetuate fraud upon
the Government, and to "freeze
out" their innocent" partners at
the same time, were fully aware
when the investment was made, of
the intirmity of their title, and of
the fact that, as against the United
States prescription was no defence.
The editorial attornies of the de-
fence do not improve their case by
a gratuitom9tack upon a disinter-
ested and accomplished engineer.
whose survey, based upon the re-
cords and instructions OF the Gen
eral Land Office, has demonstrated
the collusive fraud, by which in
nocent purchasers" have hitherto
benefited to the exclusion of the
lawful owners, the people of New
Mexico.
We have right to connect this
hatigious defence of land stealing
with the political advocacy of a
candidate for Congress, when we
find them so intimately connected,
without protest from the candidate
Nor will the people OF New Mexi-
60 fail to connect them, to the dis
advantage of Judge Prince. If
his candidacy is satisfactory to the
editorial attorneys of the Canon
del Aqua claimants, it cannot be
satisfactory to the people, and es-
pccially to the miners OF New
Mexico.

Is reference to various state
ments made that a conference of
the regular and Brceden Territorial
Committees is to be held with a
view to an accommodation and re-
union, we have to say that such
proposition will have the cordial
support of the Republicans of Lin
coin County, but with one import
ant limitation. The principle upon
which the majority of the delegates
acted at Santa te must not be sur.
rendered or compromised. The
Republicans of Lincoln County are
not crazy for Office, and are ready
to make sacrifices for the sake of
hGrmony. One sacrifice, however,
they wii not make-any compro-
mise which places the consrol of
the party machinery in the hands
Of the discreditable combination
hitherto in charge of its concerns,
or which left Col. Breeden in a po-
sition to repeat his action of the
Goth of August, would not be ac-
cepted by the Republicans of this
County.

STABILITY OF TITLES.

The Reoio,o is in bad way over
the suit OF the United States
against the Canon del Aqua Com
pany. This suit is substantially to
set aside patent obtained through
fraud, and reduce the area of a
grant to the area actually granted
by the sovereign formerly in pos
session.
The Re0ieoo discourses learnedly
of the stability of titles" and
asserts that cit is considered best
not to disturb titles of long stand
ing, even should such titles CON
tain flaws and defects"
The public sentiment Is misrep-
resented by the grant organ. We
can readily understand that its
Sympathies are with the Canon del
Aqua Company. We can readily
believe that its interests, and the
interests Of the men it represents,
are involved in The support of that
Company's title. The people Of
New Mexico, however, believe
that the limits of that grant should
be reduced to the area of the origi.
nal gift, and that it should not be
allowed to profit by the unques-
tionable fraud practiced in the in.
terest Of its grantees, and of it.
self.
Nor Is it true, as a legal propo-
sitlon, that 1t can shelter itself un-
der the circumstances behind the
lnnunitles Of "an innocent pur-
chaser, without notice" That it
had sufficient notice" Is unques-
tionable.
Moreover, the people and min
ers of New Mexico. believe that
the mineral rights involved arc the
property Of the United States.-
Ihey know, as matter of tact,
that mineral rights were not in
that case, or in any other included
IN the grant from the Spanish-Am-
erlcan authorities. They do not
belieye that any valid gift Of these
was made, or can be made by the
United States. The hOmesteader,
settler, or pre-emptor, has to take
patent subject to any vested and
accrued water rights, and to the
right OF the proprietor Of vein or
lode, to extract and remove his ore
theretrom, should the same be
found to penetrate, or intersoct the
premises hereby granted, as pr0rj-
ded By la'c." The people think,
that the bcneficiaries Of Spanish
and Mexican grants, from whom
titles to minerals were especially
excepted by Spanish and Mexican
law, should not take more, by their
titles, nor have, in respect to the
minerals, better standing than is
accorded to the actual settler, who
has earned his one hundred and
sixty acres by five years continu-
Gus residence and Improvement, or
who has paid the full price of 81 25
per acre.
The people are right, in the eye
OF the law. Their view is abso-
lately Just, moreover. Those re-
presented by the Reoteac may pos
sibly delay the consummation of
right and justice for a season. But
their final defeat is as certain as
the flight Of time. The day of the
fraudulent grant creator, hoater and
dealer in New Mexico, is over, and
in the days to come, if it can be
truthfully said Of any man that he
was with the Regieao in 1884, on
tie grant and land question, it will
be deemed a sufficient reason for
Withholding from him any share Of
public confidence.

VISIBLE RELIEF.

The relief from the burden I'M
posed upon the people by the Pen
itentiary act, so called, the people
have not far to seek.
BY virtue of the act Of July 90,
1851, the style of all laws shall
be: BE it enacted by the Legisla-
tive Assembly of the Territory of
| New Mexico" That is, the enact
ing clause of every act shall be
drawn in these prescribed words.
The Act approved March 14th,
1884, entitled, An Act authoriz-
ing the building of Penitentlary
in the Territory OF New Mexico,
and regulating its management, ="
was passed without an enacting
clause, having in lieu thereof these
words "Be it enacted by the
Council and House of Representa-
tives of the Territory of New Mex
ico." Being without an enacting
clause, it was "A legal nullty, and
was as devoid of binding effect as
the signature of the Governor to a
blank sheet Of paper would have
been.
Twelve days afterwards, to-wit,
March 26th, somebody seems to
have noticed the defect, and to
have attempted to cure it by a de-
vice as ignorant as the original er-
ror. An Act was passed to amend
the Act above cited, thus
SEC. l. The enacting clause Of
an act entitled, can Act y
is hereby amended so as to read as
follows, to wit : Be it enacted by
the Legislative Assembly of the
Territory Of New Mexico"
SEC. 3. That the said Act be,
and the same in all its parts as a
mended, is hereby re-enacted, rati-
fed, and approved, &c.
Now most people, certainly all
lawyers, are familiar with the legal
doctrine, that no subsequent act,
by any party whomsoeyer, can give
vitality to an act or deed which
was nullity from its inception
If from any circumstance whatev-
er, an act done or a law passed,
lacked, at every stage in its progress
the constitutional or legal elements
to validity OF vitality, in the eye
of the law no act was done, or no
law was passed, and no subsequent
act by any person or body whatev-
er can vivify that particular corpse.
Now, it follows, that the Legis.
lative Assembly could cure the ig-
norankmistake which had left the
Penitentiary Art a legal nullity,
only by the reintrOduction Of the
Act in the proper house, as an ORR
ginal bill, and by regularly passing
it through the several stages as if
it had never been considered by
them at all. The means actually
and ignorantly adopted instead of
this, had no legal effect. 1t fol
lows, that everything done, under
or by virtue OF the Act, has been
done at the personal risk of the ac-
tors. The we'll established lcgal
doctrine is that the purchaser Of IL
public bond is charged with notice
of every recorded fact which docs
or may affect the validity of the
bond. lie must satisfy himself at
ms peril, of the legality of the is
sue, and of the authority OF the
agent with whom he deals. And
properly so, for at great expense of
money and care, the matters with
notice OF which he is charged, are
made matters of record, open to
the inspection Of all men The
personal responsibility of an agent
to the purchaser whom he has de-
ceived, or of whose confidence in
himself, he has taken unlawful ad-
vantage, is unquestionable. The

His Daughter and Then Blows Out His Own
Rrajns

The EAGLE, throu sh the courtesy OF the
editor of the Pratt County Times, received
yesterday a brief account OF terrible
affair which seems to have been the result
of domestic or family troubles. and which
occurred in Pratt county. On the 9th inst,
at about daybrcak, MIR. |. Daniels, who
separated from his family during the past
winter, but who has been boarding with
them for the last month, got up, dressed
himself. took his revolver and went to the
bed where his wife was sleeping and placed
the muzzle TO her forehead and deliberately
blew her brains out. Turning to bed in
the same room, occupied by two of his
daughters, he shot the eldest of them, in
fliciing what is supposed to be fatal
wound following her down stairs and firing
a second shot at her as she fed arross the
yard, but missing. He then turned and
placing the murderous weapon to his own
head fired into his brains.
