THE Blair educational bill may get hear
ing yet. It has been shRmefully treated at the
hands of the House and deserves better treat
ment than to be kidnapped by any committee
Why haven't members OF the House courage
enough to face the music of this question:
Washington critic,
Courage is quality not deemed neces-
Eary in the outfit Of a Democratic Estates
man." The sneaking treatment accorded
this bill and the assassination planned for
the civil service law are fair Illustrations Of
Democratic methods.

Ex-senator Bruce has told the Sc
cret of his admiration for Senator
Conkling as follows: "When 1
came up to the senate l knew no
one except Senator Alcorn, who was
my colleague. When the names of
the new senators were called out for
them to go up and take the oath, all
the others except myself were es-
corted by their colleagues. Mr.. AL
corn made no motion to escort me.
but was buried behind newspaper,
and concluded l would go it alone.
l had got about half way up the
aisle when tall gentleman stepped
up to me and said: "Excuse me, Mr..
Bruce, l did not until this moment
see that you were without an escort.
Permit me. My name is Conkling,'
and he linked his arm in mine and
we marched to the desk together. 1
took the oath, and then he escorted
me back to my seat. Later in the
day when they were fixing up the
committees, he asked me if any one
was looking after my interests, and
upon my informing him that there
was not, and that / was myself igno-
rant of my rights in the matter. he
volunteered to attend to it, and as
result was placed on some very
good committees, and shortly after
wards got craftsmanship. 1 have
always felt very kirdly toward Mr..

Albuquerque is making elaborate
preparations for the grand banquet
to be rendered to General Miles and
staff at the San Felipe hotel in that
city on Monday evening, September
Goth. We are chagrined to observe
that among the various committees
that are looking after the affair the
names of no newspaper man appears.
This was probably an inadvertance,
but it is nevertheless one that the
Albuquerque press should take notice
of. Perhaps the omission may be
due to the fact that after careful in
vestigation it was ascertained that
no Albuquerque journalist had either
dress suit or the means to procure
one with, nor even the credit to bor-
row the use of one for a night, and
II this be true our criticism is with.

commendation for the thoughtful

THE DEAD EDITOR.

He is gone. He sleeps that long,
last sleep from whence there is no
awakening in this life. Those noble
ears will never hearken again to the
musical voice of the "devil" when
he yells "copy.n No more will that
good right hand grasp the facile
shears. No more will those mellow
eyes look pleadingly over the bar.
Nevermore will those honest lips
claim fifteen hundred circulation for
the "Tooter." He is gone. His
place in the sanctum is vacant. His
place at the free-lunch counter is
filled by another. The way-worn
railroad pass rests in peace side by
side with the circus "comp." The
country exchange lies in its wrapper
lit also lies when not in its wrapper.)
The delinquent subscriber receives
no more duns. The big pumpkin
rots in the sanctum and the farmer
who brought it in gets no puff. The
Tooter is in mourning. It's creditors
also mourn. The column rules are
inverted. The office towel is tied
on the door. The "devil" sleeps
sweetly in the corner while the fore
man is on a drunk, and the tramp
printer steals the rules and the sticks
and goes on his way. The faithful
gallon jug sits under the table in
silent meditation. 1t is empty,
showing that in his last moments the
editor never forgot his duty. The
little clock on the wall ticks on, but
the editor will go on tick no more,
His sands of life and whiskey ran
