THE REAaON OF IT

Prom the New Mexican.
"The governor Of New Mexico is ad
yertislng for the redemption Of $1,000
Of penitcntiary bonds. The territory
seems TO be able to pay its bonded
debt, but the debts it owes to various
men, officers, jurors, etc, It is unable
to pay To put it differently, its word
is not as good as its bond. ."-LIBERA1
Just about sol But then the Lords
burg LIBERAL might so a little fur
ther and say how this state of affairs
came about. lit does not know the
New Mexican will take great pleasure
in telllne why, wherefore and how.
Vt was uroughu about by the demo
cratic boodlors and white cap law
breakers who had majority in the
house Of representatives of the 10th
legislative assembly, and the demo
cratic territorial executive committee
that controlled that majority.
The bonds in question and their re-
demption could not be touched by the
corrupt combination that held sway
jim that body. But the appropriations
for current expenses were handled by
the white cap-democratic gang named
in such manner as to make insufficient
appropriations or no appropriations at
all for the proper conduct ofthe courts
and the executive departments, unless
there was Doodle in it for the "big
four" in the house or unless the dem
ocratic executive committee and its
adjunct, the white cap "anance bu-
reau" received "swag."
The people Of Grant county, il the
present condition Of affairs incon-
yenieaces them, have no one but them
selves to blame. They knew whom
they voted for to represent them in
the lower house OF the last legislative G
assembly. The New Mexican need
not give them any pointers in that di-
rection. Governor Prince and his ad-
ministration are not to blame. The
laws are administered as they are
found to have been enacted.
Tho Huachuca Sentinel in a well
written and sensible article on. the
military affairs in Arizona, says that
it believes that Apaches and not citi-

gentleman who makes the statement
is not given to random talk and is
highly respected by all who know him

cool Judgment. There is a proYerb
which says "murder VIII out" and it
looks ut this late day as though JUS
tice were to be done to the citizens
who were so ruthlessly taken from
their homes and subjected to the in
Of a tedious trial but sub
sequent acquittal. The jurymen who
set them free have been maligned, and
the attorneys for the defense viliiled

Almost every typewriter sooner or
later has trouble with her eyes. The
type-writing machine is supposed to
save the eyes, but the effect is quite
the contrary. The eyes are all the
time in motion while writing, and the
rapid jerking Of the eye from one point
to another on the little keyboard soon
tires the muscles and makes the eyes
and sometimes the whole head ache.
Then great many girls have the
habit Of turning up the carriags to see
what has been written, and leaning
back in the chair while reading it.
This too is bad, for the reason that it
requires rapid adjustment of the eye
to.the different distances. and so tires
the whole organ.
The only way to save the eyes when
using type-writing machine is to &C
quire such facility that it is not neces-
sary to look at the keyboard, and the
eyes will be saved the thousands OF
little jerks to and fro which do SO
much harm,

Since the beginning of Mr.. Blaine's
illness biography fends have industrii

would aid in making an interesting
story of his life. Reports, which have
probably been magnifed, of his con-

immediate cause of starting these en-
terprising gentlemen a-going. There
are more than dozen men at work
looking up data and preparing biogra-

Mr.. Blaine looks quite we'll when he

most to the chin with Mrs. Blaine's

goes to walk and kind OF loses his
equilibrium, he doesn't look nor act like
b really we'll man. He had bad stroke
of paralysis about this time last year,
which his physicians said was caused
by overwork, and this is offered as one
solution to his present i'll health.
He has been sick, very sick, but the
reports of his condition have been
greatly exaggerated. He couldn't have
all the symptoms of nervous malady,
be sallow almost like corpse, shaky
like paralytic, bilious and troubled
with insomnia, and be an entirely we'll

not obliged him to keep in bed every

shoeblack had just finished POI. ling
the shoes of we'll dressed and gentle

tunate in having a deformity which
compelled him to wear a shoe on one

sole, thus endeavoring to make up
mechanically for what nature had
denied him.

asked of the boy.
