THAT'S THE KIND OF A MAN He IS

Several of our more or less esteomeI
Democratic sheets under the orders OF the
Democratic executive committee at Albu-
querque are publishing labored Arguments
to show that Secretary Thomas, as setting
governor, in appointing two county COM
missioners to ill vacancies, acted unIaw-
fully, unjustly and improperly. They are
citing several cases, wherein it was de-
Cided that the governor of New Mexico
could fill no vacancies in territorial Offices
except aucn as were caused by "resigna-
ton or death :" their arguments are very
fine spun and full of scphistries aud mis-.
statements, and besides that are like the
flowers that bloom in the spring, have
no connection with the case at is
sue, The governor OF this territory
has power to fill vacancies in the offices
of county commissioners caused by
death, resignation or otherwise. He
is the judge of the emergency and when
to act for the public interests in the mat
ter very great majority of the
decent and law-ahiding citizens in
New Mexico approve of the ac-
ton OF the acting governor in making
his appointments his action is all right,
it was taken after full consideration, after
careful examination of the law and the
presidents in such cases, for the public
good and in aid OF justice and right. Tohe
sure the Democratic bosses and ballot
box stealers in Santa Fe and ballot box
suffers in Albuquerque disapproye OF the
action of the secretary; but that was to
be expected. In the mean time Sec.
Thomas will go on doing his duty fully
and fearlessly under the law and within
the law and that is all there is Of t;that )
the kind of a man he is

Act. Gov. Thomas Acted as tho Law and
Justice Demanded.
Not content with winning partial VIC
tory by the lavish expenditure of money
and campaign of lies, the Democratic
leaders attempted to complete their work
and secure legislature that would be
their subseryient tools, by resorting to
that most helnous of crimes against free
people, ballot box stealing. Wien an
appeal to the courts threatened to de-
feat their nefarions schemes to override
the wishes of the people as expressed
at the polls, they suborned pubIc Of
ficiuls to bid defiance to the orders Of
the court, abandon their offices, leave
the territory and bring public business
to stand still Such WAS the sitna-
ton III Santa Fe when Acting Governor
Thomas stepnGd IN, and filed TIE Yac4n-
slOnerS OF Santa Fe county. The entire
territory is under obligations to Mr..
Thomas for his wise and timely action in
this matter. 1t is such corrupt action on
the part of the Democratic leaders that
is liable to force congress to make such a
change in the form of government for
New Mexco as is contemplated for Utah,
change that will take from us what
little right of self government we have
under the territorial form. Such acts,
if they could succeed, would lead to the
establishment of commission ap.
pointed by the general government
for the administration of public at
fairs in New Mexico Acting Gov
ernor Thomas met both the demands of
the law, the necessities OF the case and
sound public policy by his prompt &C.
ton. That the INSCRIPTIONS schemers
should raise a cry about improper use OF
executive powers is to be expected, but
they should be no more successful in
their attempts to win by intimidation
than they have SO far been by corrup.

Wiclsod Schemes Formulated by Selfish
Surplus Busters.
Those organs which are pretending
that the proposed pension bills are for
the benefit of needy veterans or which
arc denouncing those who do not be-
lieve in squanderlng the peoples money
in undeserved payments to deserters,
are sowing the wind and may reap the
whirlwind. II it had ever been neces-
sary or proper for the people to pay
500, 900, 900 Il year to the deserving pen
sioners, there would not have been a
voice raised against the most liberal APP
preparations. But when tits announced
that the pension rolls are to be increased
that the surplus may be dissipated;
when it is proposed that the safeguards
adopted by the Grand Army shall not
be applied in the payments of pensions;
when such blathorskites as Tanner and
Dudley shall be foisted upon the coun-
try as representatives of the soldiers, it
is time for honest citizens to take the
alara, and speak for those who are really
deserving of the Governments attention.
Every name wrongfully placed upon
the pension role is a disgrace to worthy
veterans. The long list of men who are
drawing from the Federal treasury
monthly stipends which have been
allowed by scoundrelly officials, forms
menace to the very existence of a
pension system. 1t is beyond the
bounds of possibility that the people
will permit this disgrace to outlive the
term of the HARRISON Dudley admins
tration, and it is the part of those who
believe in the full performance of the
peoples pledges to the soldiers to guard
their interests in this matter against
the worse than rebels and traitors who
have been placed in power by Mr.. Har-
rison. Chicago Leader.

Tho Beauty of Health.

How many women with regular features
tho. might be beautiful, are not, and instead
of awakening our admiration only arouse
our pity. Their hollow eyes and sunken
cheeks and sallow skin haunt our memory
Alas an invalid wife or mother or sister
fills the house with gloom and sadness, and
with pail of regret. Blessed be the physi-
clan who has invented a remedy with power
to strengthen the female organization, that
regulates the delicate functions of feminine
life, that relieves those bearing down pains,
that renews the appetite, that perfects di-
gesticn, that brightens the eyes and beauti-
fies the complexion with the glow of health.
Such remedy is Dr. Bulls Sarsaparilla
1t Is woman's best friend for counteracting
the evils that aflict her sex. Thousands of
ladies owe their beauty to a use of this in

druggist. Take no other.-PGris Ne,cs.

AN ABSURD REPORT.
Southern Congressman Will Not treat
with Republican Revoiutionists.

with Republican Revoiutionists.
Commenting on an absurd report from
Washington of some sort Ct ''dicker'
between the Republicans and some OF
the Southern members OF Congress the
New York Times says:
1.-THE fact is, and it is becoming more ana
more plain every day, that the best poilcy 1or
the South is patience. Time is its great and
powerful ally. 1t has very little to gain from
any positive legislation and very much to gain
from waiting. It is slowly but surely settling
the race problem. Little by little at various
points it is learning how to divide the negro
vote. 1t was done last fall in Virginia, in some
portions of Mississippi Louisiana and Florida,
and it can and will be done more and more as
time goes on. The day that 1t is recog-
nizcd in the North that division and not sup
preston of the vote of the negroes is the
policy of the South, the Southern question
will entirely disappear. Even now 1t mas
so far disappeared that the majority IN
Congress will not be able, and Will hardly
dare to try, to pass any election law directed
against the South alone, or capable Of being
worked against the South alone. The schemes
of the leaders-the Chambers, ShcrmanS, Reeds
ar, mischievous in appearance, but they are
vain 1t would be a very bad bargain for South
ern men to try to defeat them by making con-
SAAA i''N'
cessions in other matters, for they would have
every thing to lose and nothing substantial to
gain"
The talk of concessions from South
ern congressman is ridiculous. They
are not treating with the Republican
revolutionists. The South is in the
Union: it is an integral part of it; it has
equal rights and equal duties. 1t is in
terested just as the other sections in
sound legislation, and can pay its part
to the piper for saturnalian dances. 1t
proposes to protect its interests openly
and boldly, relying on the American
people. 1t has no favors to ask OF, and
none to give to, the Republican party
managers. Legislation good enough for
the North may be bad, truly, but we can
stand it as long as can any other
section.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

THE VANISHING SURPLUS.
Millions Waited by Greedy Republican
Money Grabbers.


In less than four months time after
Getting full control of the Government
the Republican party has succeeded IN
more than disposing of the surplus and
Ilacing itself in such a position that it
must either repudiate all its pledges to
the soldiers or place heavy burden OF
debt upon the country. In an interview
ex-speaker Carlisle says: 'It is already
apparent that the appropriations for the
ordinary expenses Of the Government
Tor the next fiscal year will be largely
in excess Of the Secretary's estimate.
1t has been stated on the floor OF the
House by Republican member OF the
committee on appropriations that the
sum Of S442, 900, 1000 will be required,
and if this is correct there will be
deficit Of $1,000, 10, instead OF sur
plus, even if none Of the extravagant
appropriations NEW pensions, Blair
bill, direct tax, etc that l have men
toned shall be made" When asked
whether or not all these bills would
pass, the ex-Speaker responded:
or course it is impossible for me to say
whether they will or not. But one thing is
certain. and the country ought to understand
it. They will be passed il the Republican party
wants to pass them. 1t has the Senate, the
House and the President, and the rules have
been so changed that the Democrats can neither
defeat nor delay any measure that the majority
may see proper to introduce. The pension
bills cun be taken up any day and passed, ana
so can all the others. II the repeated pledges
A.. .I,1;, ,YIn t1,rr h,yfb a h
lican party are not redeemed at this session OF
Congress, it will be because that party does not
want to redeem them and does not intend to
do so. II has no excuse whatever for failure
to promptly pass all these bills, and If this
session closes without their passage, 1t VIII DC
useless for it hereafter to pretend that IT Is IN
favor OF them. The time and opportunity have
come, and the party must take the Whole re
sponsiblity for action or non-action. 1t Is true
that the passage OF these bills, or any consider
able part OF them, would make it absolutely
necessary to impose additional taxes upon the
people, or largely to increase the public debt pj
the issue OF new bonds; but the Republican
party knew this Just Us well when it made it,
promises to the soldiers as 1t knows it now
and therefore, it can not escape responsibility!
on that ground.
Mr.. Carlisle might we'll have said that
so far as the pension bills are concerned
they will not be passed. The Republican
party cares nothing for the old soldier
after it gets his vote. The only pledge
the Republican party ever redeems art
those made to the corporations, monop
olies and trusts. These will be redeemed
though the veterans die in the poor
house. indianapolis Sentinel.

M'KINlEY'S "REFORM" BILL.
1t Reduces the Revenues without Rcduc'
ing Monopoly Protection.

1t Reduces inc revenues bcuuC-
ing Monopoly Protection.
The bill of the ways and means COM
mittee for reducing the internal revenue
and the tariff, now ready to be reported
to tho House, goes far toward redoeming
the promise of the Republican party to
make the leading vices of the country
FREQ and prosperous. The removal Of
the tax from alcohol used in the arts is
equivalent to free whisky as no method
has yet been discovered for preventing
frauds under such law. Manufactured
tobacco is to be four cents pound
cheaper, and the tax on snuff is re-
pealed altogether. These changes are
presumably among the great moral
ideas for which the Republican party
claims distinction.
This alleged reform of the tariff in
cludos a large increase of the tariff on
wool, causing clothing and carpets to
cost the consumer more than ever, and
offers the farmer as solace an increase
of the tariff on butter, eggs, barley
and buckwheat, which are i'm
ported in such small quantities &s
not to affect the great mass of the
farmers at all. The bill makes cut of
from 80 to 60 per cent. in the duty on
sugar and of % per cent. in the duty on
molasses, because these reductions will
benefit the veal thy North and West at
the expense of the Infant industries
of the South, and because the tariff
on these articles was almost an entirely
revenue tariff, as distinguished from a
monopoly protecting tariff. The tariff
on tin-plate is raised to a prohibitive
point thereby cutting off entirely the
$4,000, 900 revenue which tho Govern
ment has hitherto derived from that
source, and at the same time enabling
the infant tin-plate monopoly of this
country to double it's prices if ii
plcases. Such are the effects of intrust
ing the reformation of the war tariff
to tho scheming villains who first de
vised it.
The important point in this bill is the
fact that it reduces the revenues of the
Government without reducing monopoly
protection" Its policy all the way
through is to build up and enrich thu
Eastern manufacturers at the expense
of every other industry, and especially
at the expense of the Western 'armer.-

The current census VIII Show a
greater disparity between population
and number of sheep than existed in
1880. In 1910 there were 1000, 900 more
sheep than people in the United States.
In 1890 there are, it is estimated, 3d.
1000 more people than sheep.
Whatever else protection has done it
has not built up the sheep industry. 1t
has been demonstrated that no tariffs
can do this. The industry could scarce
ly decline more rapidly under a policy
of absolute tree trade than it has done
under the system of Chinese protection.
