ELECTRIC LIGHTS ASSURED.


At a meeting of the Santa Fe Electric
Light Il Power company, held last even.
ing at The Office of Hon. Z. B. Catron, il
was decided that work upon the erection
OF tirst-class electric light plant for the
capital city should commence at once and
be pushed as rapidly as possible to com.
pletion. Propositions as to the character
OF the plant to be put in were received
from several agents representing varions
systems, and it was decided to adopt the
Edison system, represented here by Mr..
Irving Hale, of Denver. The Edison is
at the outset more expensive than other
systems, but once erected its operating
expenses are less, that is, 1t shows a
smaller p centage of loss of power than
its competitors, and another very great
advantage lies in the fact that its wires
are absolutely safe so far as regards
human life.
The company has a capital stock of
$25, 200, over one-half of which has be- n
subscribed by such men as G. f. A.
Fischer, Hon. 7. B. Catron, Mr.. Webber,
of Denver, J. q. Schumann, T. D. Franz
and others, and last nights action shows
how much business they mean. Mr..
Hale says it will require three months
to put i'll the plant. Arrangements for
property upon which to erect the power
house are being made to-day. G. +. A.
Fischer is president and j. G. Schumann
treasurer OF the new company.

like to express myself and state few
facts to the voters of Santa Fe county,
which they should know concerning Mr..
}. B. Mayo, as have had the closest
dealings with him for years, and in all
my transactions with him he has acted
with marked honesty and business ca
paClty, being very able business man,
quick OF perception. A man better adapt
ed for the legislature to represent us can
not be found in this section of country.
| GOOD speaker, good debater and well
calculated to defend our rights and in all
ways well adapted to protect our inter
ests. lie is honorable and upright in all
his dealings, and these are tie qualities
desirable for such position that he is
nominated Tor. S. ?. CoNGER.
ELECTION DOTS.
The White Cap demonstrations have
made voters for the Republican county
ticket.
Gov. Slower and other Bernalillo county
Republicans addressed large meeting at
Wallace last night.
1t is understood that the White Cap
invasion of the city, proposed for Satur-
day night, has been declared off. IT'S well.
Let it not be forgotten that the
ballots cast at the election on Tuesday
next must, under the law, all be num-
bered by the judges OF election.
Gov. Prince returned from the north
ern part of the county last night, and he
feels gratltied at the favorable outlook
there for the Republican county ticket.
Sheriff Perfecto Esquibel, of Rio Arriba
county, in hls quiet way yesterday made
several Democrats crawfsh completely !
when he offered to cover all bets on the
esult in Rio Arrba county.
The miners of south Santa Fe county
ire not run by the Democratic bosses
his year. They will vote for the repre-
of that party which in con-
,ress has done 80 much to stimulate the
mining industry in New Mexico.
The conscientious voter should study
lidates for county offices. A candid com.
,arison of characters and records will
nave great influence with fair,lninded
n"n in determining how they shall cast
h.ir ballots.
Don Eugenio Romero, the choice of the
eople of San Miguel county for the

Educational,

Prof. Hiram Hadley, president gives
notice that the next annual meeting of
the Territorial Educational association of
New Mexico will be held in Albuquerque
on Monday and Tuesday, December 80
and 30. The circular sent out by the as
sociation says:
"If New Mexico is to take rank, edu.
cationally, with other portions of the
United States, the friends of popular edu-
cation must espouse the cause and work
unfalteringly through defeat as we'll as
victory until success has been attained
A free, non-sectarian school in every ham
let is the object We seek. We want every
boy and girl in this territory 80 educated
as not only to be able to read, but love to
read. We want every voter to cast bis
ballot intellgently. In working for these
purposes, we seek the prosperity and the
happiness of the people,"

ImpOrtant Land Decision

Secretary Noble has just rendered an
important decision affirming the right Of
the Sierra Grande Mining company ia
40 acres of land near Silver City on
which they have erected pumping works.
He decides that Jas. Crawford who
claimed 100 acres including this land
did not establish bonafdo resi-
dence thereon, and that a
pre-emptor who elects, in the presence
OF an adverse claim, TO make final proof
must abide the result thereof, and submit
to an order of cancellation in the event
that said proof fails to show compliance
with law.
He also decides, contrary to the appar-
ent tenor of previous decisions:
The use and occupancy of land for the
maintenance of pumping works necessary
to the operation of lode mine is such
a USE as will authorize entry of the land
as q mill site.

Revolt.

Correspondence New Mexican.
ROVE, San Miguel County, n. NJ, oct
S0,-In the light OF recent occurrences
here, the claim made by the so-callet
Knights Of Labor agitato,s in San Miguel
Mora and Santa Fe counties that there
Is absolutely no connection whatever be-
tween their organization and that gang OIL
organized outlaws, commonly knows as
White Caps, does not appear to be well
founded.
/ Now, every honest man respects honest
labor, and he recognizes it to be the du-
ty Of honest labor to organize within the
ample limits of American law for self
protection and the general welfare Of the
laboring men, but every conscientious
citizen must deeply regret that the
worthy ends Of labor organization
should be so shamefuly abused,
so degraded, so unjustly imposed upon by
the set of irresponsible and INSCRIPTIONS
men (many of them known to be
candidates for office who, under cover of
the knights OF Labor charters supplied by
4. V, Poverty, grand master workman,
are engaged in organizing lawless bands
OF White Caps. 1t is an insult that
every honest laboring man should resent,
and 1t ought not to be difficult to secure
thousands OF signatures among the real
laborers of New Mexico to petition ask
ing the national council of the Knights of
Labor to revoke the charters
for subordinate lodges lately grant
ed in San Miguel, Mora and
Santa Fe counties. Deserving and
earnest laboring men in New Mexico owe
1t to themselves to start this movement,
for unless they throttle this White Cap
monster it will surely in the end reflect
upon them, as it is plain the White Caps
do their deviltry under the Knights of
Labor banner.
