Senator Sherman has put
his foot in it badly in his
recommendation of a post

if one may Judge by the pro
tests pouring in by mail and

Postmaster General and the
Ohio Congressman, from the
citizens of Columbus. Unless
Mr.. Sherman withdraws his
man he will be appointed, is
what they say at the Post
Office department.
1t seems from the evidence
taken by the Naval court OF

that in stead of one, as has
been charged, there are two
organizations OF Naval Off

pose of influencing Congress-
ional legislation in which they
are interested.

Are We Avoiding The Real

output on the negro mat
ter, is it not fair to say that
we are fittinglike flies around
the central point? Should
not the core of the agitation
be given? Should not the re-
al point Of dispute be set
forth T? Certainly there would
have been no point bnt for
the attempt to force the ne,
gro upon the South, in social
and civil equality. TO sus-
tain this position, we will
mention the lack OF hiatus in
the South between the two
races, before this attempt
was made. The social divis-
ion of the subject has come
to have practically no exist.
ence. So that the attempt
to establish civil equality in
she South between whites
and negroes.is the point at
issue. The South, though
press and orator, is continu-
ally offeringreasons why such
equality is impossible OF ac-
complishment. The North,
backing itselfby constitution
al amendment, is continual
ly putting forward it's de-
'mand that such equality
shall prevail. That is the
question and that is the atti-
tude of each side. The South
says let us alone. A clash
comes, and to distract atten-
ton, oratorical by-plays and
chimerical Senatorial bills
are offered.
Everytime the South does
any thing to bring forward
this question, we think it is
acting the part ofunwisdom.
For evidently we are putting
forward Il side whose strength
consists in local causes, and
in the statements of necessa-
ry, but misunderstood re-
salts. On the other hand, the
Northerner always meets us
with a quasi constitutional
support underneath his argu
lnent. He meets truth with
technicality. We say techni-
cality, because the amend
ment affects people who had
no part in it's passage. But
the technicality OF the North
is truth to outside ears, and
our truth is perverted into a
spirit OF fraud and tyranny.
ii the negro matter is to be
longer argued, The South
should meet the North square
lY, state the issue, state it
truthfully, put itforth naked
Us, and simply say we do mot
intend to be ruled civilly or
otherwise in he South by the
negro. II the amendment is
sprung on us in response, we
can well reply that we areca-
pable Of taking care of wnat
we own, and can easily choose
our own laborers. The ne
gro is valuable as a laborer,
but his status now, is that
of a laborer only. Therefore,
the Southern white men have
always an industrial remedy
in hand.
The South will certainly re-
ject his labor, valuable as it
moy be, before it will accept
his civil supremacy. There
is no doubt of this. The ne

A FORGOTTEN POEM.

One of the most famous
poems of the sixteenth centu-
ry was "The Sphere" Of the
celebrated Scotsman, George
Buchanan. 1t would now be
impossible to name a poem
more completely forgotten.
The poem owed it's great
reputation to two circum-
stances.
1t was writ N in Latin,
then the language ii educa-
ted Europe, and in verse
which, in the Judgment of the
best scholars Of that day II
vailed that of the great Latin
poets OF antiquity. In the
: second place. it treated OF Il
subject which, at the time
! the poem appeared, was ex-
cerising all instructed minds
the new theory of Copern-
icus. The -epoch-making.
book Of Copernicus, in which
he announced his discovery OF
the earths revolution round
the sun, was published in the
very year of his death, 1913.
From the first his theory was
received with contempt, and
; by none more than the great
scholars of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. -.
This contempt on the part
OF those who led the opinion
OF educated Europe, taken to
gether with the scruples of
the Church, explains how it
was that nearly twohundred
years elapsed before even
) learned men had aSsimilatrd
with their daily thinking the
fact that it is the earth that
revOlveS around the sun. and
ttheentire heavehsaround
the earth. Milton's "Para-
disc Lost was published in
1869, more than n hundred
years after the 'appearanceo of
the work OF COpernicus, yet
Millions poem is based on the
Ptolemic theory that the
earth is the center of the uni
} verse. .....
We must not, therefore, re-
} gard it as a proof of mere
blind doginatism Oh Bnch-
anan's past, that, some Ii
or 20 years after thedeath OF
Copernicus, he should have
; written a poem for the ey-
press purpose of combating
that great astronomers dis
covery. At the time he be-
gan to write it. Buchanan
was acting as tutor to a son
: of one Of the great marshals
! OF France. and it was for his
} pupils edification that the
poem was in the first place
intended. 1t is written in
i Latin hexameters. and it is
divided into books, each deal
ing witha different part OF
J his suhject.......
1t is the first book OF. the
poem which is especially in
teresting, asit deals express
! Ely with the recent teachings
4 Of Uopernicus. 1t is strange
for us now to read how the
great scholar solemnly ad-
! lures his pupil to shut lis
ears to a doctrine unworthy
of man, irreconcilable with
reason, worthy to be ranked
only with old wives tales.
Here are q few Of the argn.
ments with which he seeks to

new MEXICO PRODUCTS,
Last seasons Travelling Exhibit LskeiI
to be Repeated-A Talk with
Mr., ELI Newsum,

Mr.. Eli Newsom, travelling agent Tor
the Rio (irande Land company, Is here
to day from Las Cruces consulting with
the secretary OF the bureau OF immigra-
ton as to the feasibily of again gathering
train load OF New Mexico products, and
showing them throughout the central
western towns this fall. He was one OF
the parties in charge Of the exhibit made
last fall, and he thinks it has clearly
demonstrated itself to be a paying en-
terprse. His information is that the
A., T. & 5. +. company will be quite as
liberal this season as last in supplying
cars and free transportation for such all
exhibit
Mr.. Newsom says he is working
generally to place farmers and
fruit growers in all parts of the
Rio Grande valley, and he feels
encouraged to find settlers coming in
steadily and buying and improving lands.
Within short time dozen trst-class
men have come and located in various
parts OF the Mesilla valley. These repre-
sent colonies from Dakota, Illinois and
Indiana, and upon their success will de-
pend largely the coming of their friends
Mr.. Evans, an Illinois farmer, bought
lands near Las Cruces on Saturday last
and has gone home to bring out his
family and several friends who also think
CT buying and settling in the valley.
Mr.. Newsom adds that should
tine display of New Mexico products be
sent through Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Mis-,
souri, and other states this fall, it will
have the effect OF bringing many here in
search OF homes who have already been
favorably impressed by the exhibit of last
year la fact, now that this method OF
advertising our resources has been in
augurated, the gentleman is of the opin'
ion that it should be kept up each year as
the best plan OF carrying occular proof OF
New Mexico's riches to the western home
seeker
