DIs>inated Cows

The yield of apples this season in New London. Wlndham, aud Holland counties ws never equalled before. Every tree is heavily laden with fruit. Splendid fruit Is sold at 10 cents bush el, given away, or carted to the mills, around WhicH apples are piled in great gold and pink tinted piles Gs high as Q mans head. The mills grind all day, and are Hau1ed by big open tubs of the sweet apple iuIce, which IS free for all. The Holland County cows know a good thing when they see 1t. They have always been fond of sweet cider. And they never miss a chance to get drunk at the mills. They are enjoying them selves thIs fall Not less than half a dczeu of them have been glOriOusly drunk within a few weeks. and the rest are awaiting a chance to follow suit. William Bishops Alderney set the per niCIous example. He missed her at the close of day recently, and hunted over his farm for her unscccessfully, until early m the evening he found her In an unused cellar. She lay on her back, her hOofs waving in the air, and on her face was en expression of supreme and unexpected happiness. "She was drunk clean through" said Mir. Bishop after wards in describing her condition, "but I hated to disturb her, she looked SO resigned and surprised. It took me thirty minutes t6 cosx her to get. up and go home. She was all right next day. but she went sround with her head down as though it was heavy. and she had a longing expression as though cocktail would be the proper thing" The next COW to get tipsy was Will liam Blsckmsn's, and the effect of her indulgence was such that she dried Cf. Her symptoms were the same as in the case of the Alderney. Then sew cral of Henry Dsggets COWS drank not wisely of cider, and tumbled down in a helpless intoIication about the cider mill. Finally prohibitionist deacon's steer filed himself with apple juice. and woke up the quiet neighborhood. prsncing along the highway, and trying to lock horns with pair of bars. Then the Holland farmers resolved that 1t was imperative to adopt some course ofIsct- ion to promote sobriety among our stock.-NOrwich Conn. special Co New York Sun.

HE sky IS clear, the community is is be congratulated that chaos has not come again. The new judges are ap- pointed and no harm done. Had the Star been consulted, Judge Fitzgerald would have been permitted to hold over for few weeks yet, but as 1t was pot, we can only say that since this action has been taken by the administration, we hope that the heads of republican ofii- ciais may continue to fall like autumn leaves thick and fast until all depart meuts of the government both Tn Ari- ZOna and elsewhere are ID the hands of good, reliable demOcrats.-Stsr.
 No harm done? Notwithstanding sev- ersl important cases must be tied over agaIn, becsuse not decided, ct an eX- pense of some thousands of dollars to the parties, no harm Is done! Several important cases We're argued and sub mittei in the Supreme Court last Feb ruary, which have not been decided be- cause the judges have had no oppor- tunity for consultation, yet, says the Star, "the new judges are appOinted, and no harm done" Honest, capable, and efficient judges have been removed sim ply because they are not democrats, and the judicial office Is degraded and dis graced by being made the reward for services rendered the democratic party. Yet, mo harm is done. e."--Shsme! AL most equally remarkable is the Stars statement, that If it had been consulted, Judge Fitzgerald would have been per mitted to hold over for a few weeks" etc. If Judge Fitzgerald may go on and hold court until his successor ar rives, as the Star contends, why does he now volunteer to say, that if he had been consulted Judge Fitzgerald would have been permitted to hold over for a few weeks? This statement is simply hypocritical. But for the interference of Governor Zulick and some others, the Star would hsve announced Judge FitzgerRld's removal beneath its demo- cratic rooster. Such inconsistency and hypocrisy are simply disgusting.

Uncertainties of Position.
IAIbunuernne Journnll

IAlbuquerque JOurnAll
 Federal office holding has ceased to be either honorable or lucrative, and yet the number of men seeking positions under the national government remains undlminished. We doubt If there IS any man who has or is holding a federal po- sition in New Mexico who IS or will be better of for so doing. Any legitimate employment pays better, IS far more in dependent and less liable to bring temptation and ruin. Run back over the list of federal sppOintees and note the number that have come to grief. How many of them are not charged. either justly or unjustly, with dedication or dishonesty? How many of them have honestly improved their financial status, or benefited their standing m the community as citiZens? How many of them have not suffered all of obhquy and abuse just to draw a mis- erable salary as R government officer, to say nothing of the humiliatIons endured at the hands of special agents, detect ives, inspectors and others m authority, assessments for campaign expenses, and personal expenditure for the entertain ment of the whole gang Of traYelIng of ficials! And yet the desire to hold of- flee IS ever predominant Tn the minds of the American people; the number of anxious and willing patriots who deem it their duty to serve the nation IS con stsntly on the the increase. The case of Chief Justice Vincent IS one well cslcu- lated to illustrate our meaning. Here WAS young, bright, talented lawyer, with growing practice, standing high in the community, prosperous future before him and capable of earnIng double his salary, as judge, at the. bar. He WAS young enough to wait for judicial honors, but he accepted federal judgeship. and what Is the result! Apparently without lust or sufficient cause be IS summarily kicked from the judicial bench, branded as corrupt judge and conspiring with land thieves, and with & design to use his judicial position to protect the inter- ests of loan company for which he IS sad to have once acted as an attorney. Could anything be more humilIating to a proud-spIrIted young man, coD- scious of hIs own integrity and of his own upright intentions! The Journal believes and hopes that Judge Vincent will come out of this trial unscsthed; but 1t k nevertheless certain that he will never cease to regret the day he &C., cepted a federal position. This Is only one instance. Hundreds Of others could be named. The simple fact IS, federal position renders man suhservient, de- stroys his manhood, and gives him less respect for himself. unless he be carried away with a crazy notion of office hold ing; and iD the present state of our rrnllticS a man Is better of thousand fold to be able to write his name as his own boss, than 10 be dependent for his bread and butter. character and rep utation, on even the president of these great United States.
