HOW WE APPLES SWIM M2. SPEAKER
RTTRNS

Mr.. Speaker Burns, Of the Doodle house
of representatives of the goth legislative
assembly, has been to Ell Paso and he
has unbosomed himself to the editor OF
the Ell Paso Times and has managed to
have quite puff given him at the ex-
pense OF the Republicans of New Mex
leo in the editorial columns of the Times.
We quote from the puff, worth at least a
dollar line and very probably paid for,
as follows
"On entering upon the discharge of his
duties as speaker Mr.. Burns appointed
committees whose investigations disclosed
most rank corruption in every depart
ment of the territorial government. The
Republicans had run things with an ut
ter disregard for the interest OF the peo-
pie, and prostituted their official power
to most fragrant violations of the law and
all sense of common decency and hon
esty. Every lever of the government was
used for personal agrandisement. These
evils were remedied by Speaker Burns
committee"
Now, what are the facts? Do they
carry out the above or do they not? To
be sure they do not. and Mr.. Speaker
Burns knows this as well as any living
man.
The report Of the Democratic committee
on the books of the auditor and treasurer
had to acknowledge, although the com,
mittee was packed, that the Republican au'
ditor and treasurer we're honest and com
petent officials; the report of the commit
tee on militia, again packed for purpose
found that the alleged militia warrants
were issued in accordance with an act pass
ed by Democratic legislative assembly
approved by Democratic governor and is
sued by Democratic auditor and recon-
mended no action.
The report of the committee on peni
Tertiary, another packed outfit, prepared
lot of lewd and indecent stuff, based
upon the alleged testimony of couple Of
convicts, but had to acknowledge that the
Republican administration reduced the
cost of maintaining the prison fully one
half from what it was under the Demo,
cratic administration.
The Doodle house of that assembly hac
to acknowledge that there was a large
sum of ready cash on hand for Territorial
expenses that the Perea finance bill ane
the honesty and efficiency of the Repub
licau auditor and treasurer had reduced
the territorial debt in two years ovel
100000, and that territorial expense!
had been cut down fully one-half from
what they were under the corrupt ant
dishonest Democratic administration from
1885 to 1889.
We suggest very mildly and molten
sively to Mr.. Speaker Burns, that he will
do we'll to confne himself to the truth
when the facts are against him.
Mr.. Speaker Burns will do we'll to reat
the memoirs and works of Talleyrand ant
also of Machiavell.

THERE is one thing certain it is right
difficult to run paper in Russia and it
seems very hard to be censor of the press
there. The following item appeared the
other day in a Moscow paper: Tits our
opinion that Russia needs new railroads
and will have them" For this very
nihilistic and anarchistc statement the
censor was suspended for three months
and the paper fined $500. The Gear is
evidently not much in favor of too much
license to the press in his dominions.

One of the very best acts of the late

exemption law, and providing penalty
of 80 per cent for the failure Of any tax
payer to turn in his schedule at the proper
time. 1t will assist in adding many

A Printing Racket in San Miguel County.
Don Felix Martinez has the law and
the commissioners on his side and he
will probably be appointed county prin-
ter. In this event, the Optic, as the
newspaper of the people, laying all
politics aside, will demand fair share
of the public printing. The paper claims
to have done something toward the adj
vancement and material development Of
the county, it is still doing so, it will con-
tinue to do so, and for these reasons,
sufficient alone, it has claims upon the
patronage of the county that even the
party in power is bound to respect.

Ox the 9th day of this month Great
Britain's Prime Minister told one audi
ence that "the cause Of protection does
not sink: il rises" On the 24th he told
another audience Of Bntons that the in
creasing depression Of agriculture in Her
Msiesty's kingdom is due to free trade.
sThe non-tillage Of the land" he said,
ais due to the withdrawal of protection,
under which the soil formerly grew
wheat. Nowhere in the world viii you
find corn grown without protection"
American free traders tell American
farmers that protection diminishes agri-
cultural prosperity. But the Prime Min
ister Of England tells English farmers
that free trade has-diminished the pro-
duetion Of grain, and adds that nowhere
in the world is corn which is the Eng
lish generic term for all kinds of cereals)
grown without protection" 1t is beyond
question that the British Prime Minister
knows what free trade has done for
British agriculture better than Roger q
Mills, of Texas, or than Mr.. Grover
Cleveland, of New York, does, and Lord
salisburys declaration is in words that
the wayfaring man, though fool, can
not but understand.

Triumphant Fraud,

PoUeHKEETsIE, y. Y, Nov 25.-The Board
of County Canyassers completed their work
tonight and adjourned. AT one time il

freely heard on every side were having an
effect. In fact. on Two or three votes three
Democrats voted with the Republicans, but
two Of them were whipped iEto line and
voted with their party. One, Brewster Of
Wsppingers, finally pulled clear out and
voted with the Republicans against stealing
votes TO deprive other candidates Of their
Offices.

Thieves use chloroform.

TITUsvILLE, Pa, Nov. 27.-one Of the most
sensational burglaries that ever occurred in
this section took place in the west end of
the city some time Wednesday night. The
police have endeavored TO keep the matter
quiet in order that the perpetrators of the
outrage might be caught, but the facts have
al last leaked out.
Mr. McGinnett is a widow with four chill
drtn depending on her for support. She is a
carpet weaver. Her residence is on New
street During the night mentioned the old
est daughter and Miss Looney; from Sun
Vile, we're sleeping in bedroom downstairs
while Mrs. McGinnett and the three other
children occupied rooms on the second floor.
The robbers entered the down stairs bedroom
window by prying it open with jimmy.
They chloroformed the two saeepers. went
up stairs and did the same TO the rest Of the
family, and then ransacked the house.
When they left they took with them about
So. $40 of which belonged to Miss Looney
and was in her dress pocket. The balance
of the money was taken from bureau draw
er and represented all the cash the poor
woman had in the world
