San Luis Notes.

ALAMosA, Colo, June 26.-For several
days there have been a number of forest
fires on the Conejos and San Juan ranges
If the dry weather and high winds con.
tinue these will spread and do large
amount Of damage.
There has been no rain since the latter
half of April and the timber is in an al.
most perfect int1ammatory condition. A
generous rain at this time is the one grand
desideratum.
Among the prominent crop items Of the
San Luis valley is the 1000 acre field Of
barley on the Salvation ranch of the La
Jara Creamery company. This is the
largest single acreage Of barley in the
Rockies, and it shows that the great
brewing grain can be grown here advanta-
geously. From present indications the
yield will not be under $4,000 bushels,
and is likely to go much higher.

TWO ADMINISTRATIONS.
The Difference Between George washing-
ton and Benny Harrison.


The bundredth anniversary of the in
auguration Of the first President Of the
United States finds his place filled by a
descendant of one Of the men who worked
with him for independence and freedom.
The spirit which then governed in the
conduct OF the affairs of the Executive
Department is indicated in the inaugural
address of the first President.
"To the preceding observations have
one TO add which will be most properly
addressed to the House of Representa-
tives," he said in concluding. when I
was first honored with a call into the
service of my country, then on the eve
Of an arduous struggle for its liberties,
the light in which | contemplated my
duty required that | should renounce
every pecuniary compensation. From
this resolution have in no ins tance de-
parted, and being still under the i'm
pressions which produced it, ! must de-
cline as inapplicable to myself any share
in the personal emoluments which may
be indispensably included in a perma-
nent provision for the Executive De-
partment, and must accordingly pray
that the pecuniary estimates for the
station in which l am placed may, dur
ing my continuance in it, be limited to
such actual expenditures as the public
good may be thought to require"
The spirit of the present Administra-
tion has been not less clearly indicated
by the action of the President in ap-
pointing to the head of his Cabinet a
man who, in trading on his trust as
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, wrote: "You urge me to make as
| much as fairly can out of the arrange
| ment into which we have entered. 1t is
natural that | should do my utmost to
| tn at end"
The first President would not even
| take money from the Government for
his own work. The present Administra-
tion finds it only natural to do its ut
most to make all it can out of the ar
rangement into which it has entered.
| The President, drawing his full salary
of $50, 900 year, devotes himself to the
work of earning it with zeal in finding
| lucrative places for his horde of impecu-
| nious relatives. They make all they
can out of the arrangement-from the
| President and his poor kin; from the
Vice-President and his ''buffet" with it's
twenty-cent whisky; from the Postmas-
ter-lieneral using his Cabinet place to
advertise his bargain counter; from the
Department of State with its puffs for
wine dealers; from the Secretary of Ag-
riculture with his advertisements for
yeast powders, issued from the Govern
ment press as official documents, to the
petty bosses OF Missouri Congressional
districts, who use their power as depu-
ty presidents to sell fourth-class post
offices at S25-S15 cash and SO on de-
livery.
American history is full of sharp con-
trasts, but there are none sharper than
that brought out by the memorial exer-
cises in the House of Representatives
the other day.-St. Louis Republic.

ness. The plan OF giving to members Of can
vassing and electoral boards a life tenure will
scarcely commend itself TO the general tudg-
ment As politicians, having personal or party
ends to serve, they might easily be led into
misconduct which would make their continu-
ance in once undesirable. but would not, per.
haps, be sufficient TO insure their removal by
impeachment Altogether Mr.. Sherman has
not by this bill, enhanced his reputation fot
craftsmanship.
OF course men like Senator Sherman
and "Bill" Chandler can not expect the
passage of such schemes as they advo-
cate, because their own States of Ohio
and New Hampshire would not submit
to such treatment Why, then, do they
bring them forward? Apparently for no
other reason than to make them the
text for bloody-shiTt speeches. But this
is as short-sighted from the politicians
point of view as from the statesman's.
So far as the South is concerned, the
agitation of such propositions insures
it's continued solidity for the Democrats,
while, instead of making the North solid
for the Republicans, the readiness Of
Republican leaders TO support such
schemes renders independent voters
more and more suspicious of the party.
In short, it is clearly losing game all
around-N. Y. Evening Post.

THE DUDLEY OUTRAGE.
A Violation of Law and Decency Sane
toned by President Harrison.

A Violation of Law and Decency Sane
toned by President Harrison.
The open protection given to Dudley
against the law by the Administration,
through District Attorney Chambers,
has scandalized the people of Indiana,
Republicans as we'll as Democrats.
1t was, perhaps, to be expected that
technical excuses might be found for
letting the author of the ''blocks-of-
five" letter 60 unwhipped of justice.
But 1t was not thought probable that
the United States law officer charged
with the prosecution of offenders would
go so far as Attorney Chambers does in
this declaration:
The so-called Dudley letters, construed in the
light of the knowledge that We all possess of
how elections in Indiana are conducted by both
parties have nothing in them of a criminal
character; but, upon the other hand, when so
construed, are honorable, and indicate simply a
patriotic interest In elections
Here we have Mr.. Harrison's appointee
in charge of the administration of the
law in the city of the Presidents resi-
dence lauding the corrupt methods by
which the Presidents election was
bought away from the majority of the
people. When Dudley wrote to divide
fioaters into blocks of five, put a trusted
man with the necessary funds in charge
of each block, and make him responsible
that none gets away he simply gave
detailed directions for the successful
commission of the crime of bribery at
elections. There is no doubt about that.
1t is intolerable that an officer of JUS
tice should declare that such instruc-
tions are honorable and patriotic. The
outrage is the greater because, as an exr
cuse for this astonishing declaration, the
District Attorney cites the practices
that have obtained in Indiana elections.
In a word, in order to shield an ac-
cused against whom the evidence is his
own writing District Attorney Chambers
declares that incitement to corruption
is patriotic, because it has become Gus
tomary. This extraordinary official IL
bells his State in order to excuse prosti-
tuition of his authority under the COM
mission of the United States to the
shielding of corruptionist. No wonder
that there is general demand in Indiana
for the removal of Chambers, and that
even Republican organs join in it-N
