THE Deming Headlight makes the fol-
lowing comment upon DR.. Thomas APP
pointment:
The press dispatches of the 2Sth an
nounce the appointment OF DR.. Benz. Nj:
Thomas, OF Santa Fe, to be secretary OF
the territory of New Mexico. AS with all
the other appointments thus far IN the
territory, the president has studied only
the fitness OF the man for the position.
DR.. Thomas, as Indian agent and in other
positions of trust, has record for eiticien-
cy and honesty that can not bequestoned,
and will make the same record in his
new position. With such men as Gov.
Prince and Sec. Thomas the executive
department OF New Mexico is in excellent
hands.

THE attention of the New MEXICAN has
been called to the followingac act, passed Iy
the 50th congress, and which became a
congress, first session T II reads dd as loi
lows:
"No person related to any justice OF
judge OF any court OF the United States by
affinity or consequently, within the degree
of first cousin, shall hereafter be appoint
ed by such court or Judge to, or employed
by such court or Judge in, any Office or
duty in any court OF which said Justice or
judge may be member"
The question DOW arises; Has this sec
ton OF the Z. S. Statutes any bearing
upon territorial courts? Are our courts
L. S. courts within the meaning OF this
statute?
So far as heard from, and several attor-
neys have been consulted, the prevailing
impression seems to be that our coul Is are
not I. S, courts within the meaning OF
the statute, but are territorial courts, with
certain powers to do certain kinds OF L. S.
court business.
Be this as it may. We will again rise
to remark and say to the recently ap-
pointed Republican judges: The RepubIi-
cans OF this territory, and in Tact all good
citizens, have had good cause, owing to
the corrupt and extremely partisan con-
duct OF Democratic court officials during
1886, 1887 and 1855, to desire a change in
court officials. We think the sooner
the newly appointed judges make these
changes and appoint honest and com
petent men to the several court positions,
the better. This action will rebound to
the benefit OF the people, will bring about
a purer administration, and will restore
confidence in the courts.

Ohio Democrats.
New York Herald

The Democrats have fighting chance
in Ohio. Foraker represents three
SUBSCRIPTIONS fidelity to his own
ir erests, political fanatieisms coined into
party capital and undYing hatred for the
South
These peculiarities have their weight
in the piping times of general oonvuI-
sion, when passion mistakes itself for
patriotism, but they lose their influence
when the peoples pulse drops from one
hundred to its normal seventy.
That Foraker has manufactured large
following is not TO be denied: but that
the higher class of Republicans, the
faIr-play men, have largely lost their
confidence in him is a matter of fact
Foraker is himself so conscious of this
that the cookies Of his heart are not
stirred by the prescIence of victory which
he has heretofore enjoyed.
If the Democrats drop their squabbling
and get together with determined pur-
pose to carry Ohio there will be music in
the air, and Gen. Foraker will have to
pull on his seven league boots in order to
get there. -

cRININAL REFORM.

The New York independent has OBJ
tanned and published the opinions of sew
eral persons who are especially qualified
to give valuable views upon the question
of reforming criminals. On many points
the various writers forming the sympo-
sium show an almost unanimous agree
ment, and especially regarding the point
that prison life should be made uTattrac-
tive. Mr.. Lewis and Justice Duffy en-
large upon this. OF no less Importance
is the statement made by nearly all. that
the prisoner should be taught some form
of industry, not only that they maybe
kept from idleness while in prison but
that they may be prepared for some use
full and respectable occupation when
their sentences have exFsHeti& Judge
Gildersleeve and INSPECTOR Williams
emphasize this point strongly. An
other point that is brought out by
number of the writer's is, that there are
certain criminals who cannot. be re-
formed. Justice Duffy tells how the same
criminals come before him again ana
again for the same offense. They are
constantly offending against society. So
ciety is only safe while they are in prison.
For such there should be lifelong impris-
onment. The writer's agree also that
criminals should not be sent to prison for
reformatory purposes; they are apt rath-
er to learn the ways of crime while IN
prison than the ways of virtue. Crimi-
mails are sent to prison that society may
not suffer from their criminal acts, and
while something may be done for them
while they ale there, there is good deal
of nonsense about prison reform

Starvation Under Protection.
phiIadalnhia Rncnra


1t is not necessary to turn our eyes to-
ward Europe or Asia IN the search for
starving populations In the productive
corn growing state of Illinois the pro-
tected coal miners cannot get bread
enough Tor their starving children. The
scenes of misery at Braidwood are as
pathetic as anything in the history of the
snfferings of pauper labor in other eoun-
tries which have so moved the hearts of
sympathizng Americans. That there
should be such state of things in a veri-
table land of plenty is astounding. That
workingmen should be starving while
statesmen are contriTing tax systems to
protec. them and TO raise their wages
seems to argue either a battling provi-
Gence that brings the scheme of protec-
ton to naught or else an awful misealcu
lation. Can it be possible that protec-
ton doesn It protect?

TOURGEE RAVING AGAIN.

Albion w. Tourgee in his " Bystand-
has been furnishing the country the
toughest rot printed in any newspaper in
the country for years. But in last Sat
urday s issue he fairly outdid himself,
and fairly slobbered over some two
columns of space. He wrote on the sub
iect of ex-soldiers and their pensions,
and snuffed and whined about the alleged
indignities cast upon men who had served
their country in blue uniforms. Because
there are people in the country who do
not want to see every hummer, bounty
jumper, sutler and camp follower who
may choose to apply for pension foisted
upon the Taxpayers for support, and be-
cause those people have the courage to
say what they mean, Judge Tourgee
profess es to believe that they are casting
slurs at the soldier and trying to de-
prive him of his merited support.
Judge Tourgee willfully misunder-
stands the position of those who oppose
this promiscuous pensioning. There are,
even in the South, few people who are
not willing for every man who bore arms
in the Union army and who was MANNED
or crippled, or had his constitution I'M
dermined, to be placed upon the pension
list and paid reasonable amount to aid
in his support. But no man not a pro-
fessional bowler or willful per-
verter Of facts, such as Judge
Tourgee, thinks that the people of this
country ought to be taxed for the sup
port of every hummer who is too lazy to
work, and to whose aid perjury comes
when he wants to prove how he lost
his health or one of his limbs in the ser
vice OF his country
The South, filled with manned and
plalningly pays her portion of the tax
that goes to pensioning of the deserving
soldiers of the North. Her people look
upon it as a just punishment laid upon
them for the crime of failure, and they
submit without a murmur. But when it
comes to pensioning lot of beggars who
never smelled powder except that IN fire
crackers they protest, as do all honest
men. When the people who oppose the
pension grab speak of 'Fbummers they
do not mean soldiers, and Judge Tourgee
should not be moved to such quick re-
sentiment.
Judge Tourgee thinks, also, that he
has been called a "'crank'' Nay,
verify. He named himself when he
wrote a novel describing his own travels
and called it "a Fool s Errand -

Political Reform in the Far West.


Among the propositions which will be
considered IN the constitutional conven-
tions of North and South Dakota, Wash
ington and Montana are the following:
l. An absolutely secret ballot
9 The election of United States sena-
tors by vote of the people.
3. Minority representation.
4. No private detective agencies.
s. A single legislative body
6. Annual sessions of the legislature.
T. Taxation of land held from use as
high as land used.
Petitions have been largely signed in
favor of some of these propositions, while
all of them have been more or less favor
ably discussed among the people of the
new states. Though the ballot is secret
in theory in most Of the states of the
Union, cunning and INSCRIPTIONS
methods have been found for violating
Its secrecy and subjecting voters to IN
timidation and coercion. The strong in
terest taken in the new states in behalf
Of the Australian ballot system evin ces
the determination of their people to make
the ballot secret in fact as well as in
name.
The proposition TO elect United States
d
adopted, relieve the great Pacific rail-
road corporations of the function of
choosing senators for the people Of North
and South Dakota, Montana and Wash
ington When the citizens of these new
states shall desire to be represented in
the senate by railroad monopolists and
their attorneys this may be done quite
as well at the ballot-box as through
the agency OF state legislatures. The
presence in the senate of eight men,
bers elected by the people themselves,
and free from corporation influences,
would have a most wholesome effect on
that body.
1t is natural that the private spy sys-
tenn which has grown into shame
full abuse in the populous East should be
regarded with adherence in the agrcul-
tural regions of the West. Such an in
stitutlon can flourish only under depraved
and corrupt social conditions. Whenever
it might become necessary TO employ the
spy and informer for protecting society,
the municipal government alone should
have the power of invoking so terrible an
agency. Bit the public authority in the
East has been to large extent super
seeded by numerous detective agencies,
which hire their sleuth hounds to any in
dividual who may require their infamous
services. or by private societies, which
employ their sneaks to sniff out moral
peccadilloes III the name of law and Or
der. It is not improbable that the new
states viii put their condemnation upon
this odious and intoleable abuse by pro-
hibiting in their constitutions the en-
plOyment of detective agencies save by
the police power alone.
