How would Government building
look in WATERFOWL? We think that
none of our citizens would find fault
with the appearance of such a structure
on one of our business streets. Some
may consider it foolish and prepos-
ferrous idea to think that Watertown
could procure such building, and yet
towns like Madison and Sheboygan
have Government buildings. If the
amount of money the Govern
ment receives out of a place governs
it's selection as point for locating a
Government building, then Watertown
is more entitled to building from the
Government than either of the towns
we have mentioned. With the excep-
ton of La Crosse, Watertown pays
more taxes to the Government than
any other city in the Second Wisconsin
United States Internal Revenue dis
trict. Our breweries alone pay SIC, 900
a year for stamps and our cigar manu-
factories pay about $4,000. Take post
Office receipts and licenses and the
Government receives $4,000 more,
making round total of $55, 900; no in
considerate sum. Madison and She
boygan beat us, perhaps, in post Office
receipts, but in all other items Water
town is far ahead of them. In reality
Watertown in Government collections
ranks the third place in the state.
Why, then, should she not have Gov
eminent building?
But it is not alone the amount that
Watertown pays the Government that
should be considered. The general
business done here ought to have some
weight in the consideration of the sub
ject. Steps should be taken to place
memorial before Congress setting forth
the claims of Watertown for the pur-
pose herein named and Congressman
Rabbit and Barwig be made interested
at once in the matter

Young Gardner Left Out

The report that G. M. Gardner, of
WATERFOWL, is to be appointed assistant
enrolling clerk of the house turns out
to have been little premature. The
position, which is $1,000 one, will go
to John Kelly, editor of The Juneau
Telephone, instead. The reason as
signed for this change is due entirely
to circumstances connected with
Speaker Crisp's arrangement of COM
mittees. Mr.. Barwig, who has the re-
fusal of the position in question, had
reason to believe up to the time the
committee was announced, that he
would have two places at his disposal
Messrs. Kelly and Gardner were both
booked for the same, the former hold
ing first claim to the congressman s
consideration by priority of age and
sevice in the party and by promise,
but at the time notice was given that
Clerk Kerr held the assistant enrolling
clerkship at Mr.. Barwig's pleasure
The latter had every reason to suppose
also that he would be given a chair
manship by the speaker, and would
thus have committee clerkship to dis
pose Of, but as things turned out Mr..
Barwig did not get the Craftsmanship,
although recommended for it by the
Wisconsin delegation and also the en-
tire delegation from Iowa, Minnesota
and Michigan. With the expectation of
a Craftsmanship young Gardner was at
once put down for the position on the
clerks force but has now been notified
that Mr.. Kelly's first claim will neces-
sarily have the right of way. In case
some other position comes to Mr.. Bar
wigs disposal Gardner will then be
provided for Washington Cor. IN Sam

Severely Injured by the Cars.

Last Saturday evening at seven
O'Clock the Watertown passenger train
from Milwaukee as itneared the juno
ton ran over Fred. Otto, the Waterman
of the Junction yards for the st. Paul
company, and when discovered by the
side of the track, which was not for
some minutes after he was struck, it
was found that his rightleg was severed
and the left one broken between the
knee and ankle. He also received sew
eral ugly scalp wounds. Otto was walk
ing along the track going in the same di
rection as the train, and evidently
thought that he was far enough away
from the rail to be clear of the train,
but as the sad result shows he was not.
Besides the wind was blowing very
strongly from the opposite direction
the train was going, and having his cap
drawn down over his ears he did not
hear the cars as they approached. The
unfortunate man was taken as soon as
possible to his home in the Fifth ward
and had his right leg amputated mid
way between the knee and ankle, Drs.
Moulding, Spalding and Field perform
ing the operation. His condition at
this writing is as favorable as
could be expected from the nature
and seriousness of the accident.
This man seems to be followed by mis-
fortunes, as the leg now broken was
broken only a few months ago by a rail
falling upon it. Otto is about 35 years
of age, and has wife and three chill
dren

Death of Mrs. a Boomer.

Again a sad duty is imposed upon us
of announcing the death of Lydia, wife
of Alanson Boomer, who expired at her
residence in the Seventh ward, Satur-
day evening, January 2, 1892. Her
death was quite unexpected, having
recovered sufficiently from an attack
of pleurisy, which had closely followed
an attack of the grippe, to be able to be
about her house, when stricken sud-
denly and expiring before medical aid
could be summoned, a great shock to
her husband and family. Mrs. Boomer
was born at Ellisville, Jefferson coun-
ty, New York, March 5, 1922, and she
was therefore in her 10th year
at the time of her decease. Her
death is sad affection to her hus-
band, and in his sorrow he has the
warmest sympathy for the great
loss he has sustained. Mrs. Boomer
leaves daughter by her first husband,
Mrs. A. G. Douglas, of Waterloo. She
also leaves an adopted daughter, Mrs.
c. Vaughn, of this city.
The funeral of Mrs. Boomer took
place from her late home this morn
ing, and her body was laid to rest in
Oak Hill cemetery. Rey. f. Robertson

THE SITUATION.

AS returns from to-day'5 election begin
to come in at the New MExIoAN's hour
for going to press, things are looking
right cheerful for the Republicans all
along the line. The weather being good
generally all over the country, full vote
will be polled, and this Of itself is in
favor of Republicans. In Santa Fe city
and county the situation is most crafty
ing. Our local page reports the figures
latest obtainable and while the ma Oritie8
can not as yet be figured with much GER
tainty, enough is known to warrant the
statement that the DemoCratic-Wh Cap
gang that has brought shame and debt to
the tax payers of Santa Fe county has
again been given a quietus that ought to
silence them for all time. The people
have spoken. They have unqestionably
given their approval to the honest and
economical administration which has
governed Santa Fe county for the past
fourteen months, and a great majority,
If, not all, of the Republican candidates
are certain of election.
From the territory at large only mea-
gre advices are obtainable at the hour Of
writing, but these all portend Republi-
can victory, although the vote is close
and in very many counties an official
count will be required to determine the
result with any degree of accuracy.
The New MEXICAN has perfected ar
rangements to receive early reports from
every county in the territory and to-
morrow hopes to be able to lay before
its readers the result of the most splendid
Republican campaign ever made in New
Mexico.

Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
each one of its sixteen counties are
larger than Massach usetts, Connecticut.
and Rhode Island combined. Radiating
from its ancient capital, Santa Fe, are
unequalled opportunities for wealth,
happiness and homes. Mines of coal,
lead, copper, iron, the precious metals
and stones, Joined to its unequalled agri-
cultural facilities make our territory the
blessed spot of earth, Here we have re-
sources undeveloped, and opportunity for
investment such as are nowhere else pre-
sented in the wide and wealthy world. A
detailed comparison and enumeration of
the items would read like fairy tale. 1t
is sufficient to say that from the sunny
valleys of San Juan, and the teaming
lap of the Maxwell country, on the north
to the Mesila and Pecos, on the south
there is no such land. 1t is useless to set
forth the beauty of our mountains and
valleys and the pleasures of our eli
mate. Every traveller who has come
west has sung their praise. But with
all this the energy Of our
industrious people is clogged, the advon-
turous spirit of the pioneer is chilled,
and our mines lie idle, our fields I'M
plowed, and wealth ungarnered. Why,
because our people are feitered by
outside control. Besides We are
burdened with foolish law pro-
hibiting the investment of foreign cap
ital. Now, fellow-citizens, long pull, a
strong pull, and a pull together for state
hood. This is our only salvation, our
only hope of remedy. Congress can no
more legislate intelligently for the needs
of our people than it can for New York
or Ohio. We have better resources than
either. Let US therefor administer our
own affairs,
