HIS ex-eXcellency, Ross, Hold like to
go to Washington as commissioner; it
strlkes the average citizen that Ross has
been more than enough of disgrace and
detriment to New Mexico without being
placed in another official position and
given chance to somewhat more us
grace and injure the territory and lis
people. During his administration :,
Democrats like Laughlin, Rev L. W..
Meany, Hon. W. 7. Thornton and Gil.
dersleeve made charges against Ross and
charged him with some very vile and cor
rupt doings. Upon their say-so alone it
must be conceded surely by the Demo-
crazy that be was an egrerious failure as
governor; he should receive no recogni,
ton at the hands of the Republican ad-
ministration and surely none at the
hands OF Republican officials, who have
any due regard for the good name OF New
Mexico. We do not think he will.

HON. J. A, ANCHEIA.

The nomination and confirmation of
Hon. J. A. Anchets to be attorney for
the territory for the district composed of
the counties of Grant and Sierra were
good, timely and proper, each for itself
and also collectively. Mr.. Ancheta has
performed the duties of the Office in ques-
ton for the two years last past, and has
performed them in satisfactory, honor
able and efficient manner; that the peo-
pie of his district think so, is shown
clearly by the fact that he was elect
ed to his present position in the
council over the strenuous opposition of
the corrupt Ross gang in Grant county.
lie is young man of ability, pluck and
energy; is true to his friends and to his
party, and always to be found on the side
VI the people; his constituents are salts
fed with his course as district attorney
and as councilman, and so are the peo
pie, the executive and the legislative
council. The New MEXICAN heartily
congratulstes Mr.. Ancheta.

Mr.. RICHARDSON'S bill fixing the com.

right direction, but does not 60 far enough;
the salaries proposed are entirely too

the salaries provided for at least SO per

reduction of over $40, 900 per year in the
expenses of that institution; facts are

very large saving remains and can not be
undone; and now proceed and investigate

FOR THE COUNCIL.

Some Bad Places That Need to be
Repaired.
There was resolution passed about
two months ago in Council instructing
the city engineer to repair the bad
places in the sidewalks and to fence
up the dangerous places on Campbell
street and Salem avenue. Part of this
work has been done and part not done.
On Campbell street in front of the new
frey building. there is very danger
GUS piece Of sidewalk, and last night
gentleman passing along there received
quite severe fall Fortunately no
bones were broken and the city will not
be called upon to defend damage suit.
On Salem avenue last Saturday lit
tie girl fell into the vacant lot between
the Exchange bank and Marshall's Cafe.
This accident was witnessed by Council
man Mcconnell and Policeman Gee, but
no report OF this dangerous place has
been made to the proper authorities.
The city officials daily walk by these
bad places, but no effort is made to
remedy the evil.

that seemed to say: IT know that you
know am blamed liar, but why not
try to pretend that you appreciate my
stories instead of looking so confound-
edly glum. It's rather embarrassing"
The Lovely Liar was ut the gulch
three years, md during two years and
halt of this period nobody in camp
would believe him even if he merely
said ho wished tho weather would
change.
Then, one evening in Juno, when 1
was sitting on the steps in front of our
engine house at the Tnmarack mine,
heard footsteps. and, looking up, saw
the youthful face and figure of the
Lovely Liar coming toward me. He
looked the same as usual when not
lying-scrcncly and contcntcdly happy.
lie remarked, chcerfully: "llullo. old
chap and sat down beside Inc, in re-
sponsc to my somewhat brief nod.
Seated, he filled his pipe, humming

he turned to me with y broad smile and
said:
''Wcll, Fra going In the morning."
''Going! Where? to Crccsotc?'
"No-hc-hc-he! I'm going-er-er-
east. TO the states, that's what" And
the Lovely Liar looked up, got red in
the face, giggled, blushed some more,
and went on hastily:
"Yes Been here three years, you
know. Come here TO get out of the
way. Wife, you know-married when
was twenty. Lived with her year

skipped to give her chance for divorce,

and I'm going back. BE married this

And the Lovely Liar disappeared. 1
didn't weep, but sat and pondercd. 1
could sec it all. The Lovely Liar
probably the son of poor but respecta-
bic parents, had, three years before,
got into some trouble with his employ.

by the defense:

that unless they believe from the evil
denoe in thiscase, to moral certainty,
and beyond all reasonable doubt, that

oner is indicted in this case, then they
cannot find him guilty"
THE DEFENSE.
Mr.. NJ. c. McClung. of the counsel
for the defense followed the common
wealths attorney in speech of an hour
and ahalf, in which he ridiculed the
major in good natured manner and
made a number of amusing remarks,
but though he showed that many imma-
terial facts had been greatly exagger-
ated or misstated by witnesses, it is
doubtful if he succeeded in removing
from the minds of the jury any Of those
important points which seem so thor
oughly to fasten the guilt on tho pris-
oner.

will assemble Friday at 10 a. M, and
by night verdict should be reached.

strollcd down to Piatt's to talk it over
with the boys.
About n year later the manager of
the Tamarack sent me to an Illinois
city to consult with the president of
the company, Mr.. Howard, about the
proposed purchase of another property
in our vicinity. arrived in the after
noon, and Mr.. Howard, whose family

At the table directly opposite sat

asked Mr. Howard who the stran-
ger was.
THAT? Why, that's Shepard-usual-
ly known as Col. Shepard. Fine young
fellow, and very wealthy. Popular,
too, but one of the most bashful men
ever saw"
Howard went on:
Great talkcr, the colonel Queer,
thai, for bashful man, too. Inclined
to brag bit, in n modest way, l fancy,
but always confines himself to the
truth. His word is as good us his
bond. We'll, perhaps he's justified in
feeling Il bit proud of himself, for l
know of very few young men of his
age who'vc been as successful and
have as nurh to be proud of. OF course
he has made nistakcs-for instance,
he made an unfortunate marriage
when he was only twenty, and after n
few months he went out west and
buried himself for three years, so his
wife could get divorce. lie could
have gotten it himself, on grounds
which would have been disagrecablc
to her, but he was too much of Il man,
and chose another way. lie was mar
ricd again last year, and made an OK
ccllcnt match. The present Mrs. Shop
ard brought him cool half million
and he was wcll-fxed himself. by the
way. the story of their courtship Is
quite romantic. And" Mr.. Howard,
seeing l was interested, proceeded to
relate how Col. Shepard in rcscuing an
unknown lady from dro owning in Lake
Eric, shortly after he was first married,
had begun the romance which culri
mated in his second matrimonial con-
nection.
Mr. Howard had also related the
bank burglar story, and part of the
other old onc--about the railroad
wrccll-and was wishing could think
of some way to apologize to the gen
tlcman under discussion for the way VIC
used to slang him behind his back
when some one slapped me Oh the
shoulder, and he who had once been
known as the Lovely Liar greeted me
like n long-lost brother.
