DETENTION OF CARS IN NEW ENGLAND.
The Trunk Lines Recommend that the Car
Service Association do Its Duty.

Scrvlce AssOcbatlOn 90 ASD Dutys
The detention OF cars in New England was n
topic which puzzled the Executive Committee
of the Trunk Line Association yesterday.
Many cars from other States get into New
England and arc kept on some OF the cross
roads there when they arc in great demand in
the West. Tho question was hoy best to get
these cars into the service. Tho matter is
generally handled by the operating depart
mcnts OF the roads. and it seemed to be the
sense Of the meeting that it should be taken
care of by tho Car Service Association. OF which
the principal New England roads are or should
be members, Other assoeiationso OF tho kind
in the West are very effective in sending cars
into their proper territory.
A petition was presented from Iowa people
requesting FREQ transportation to New York OF
corn Intended for tho starving Russians. The
petition failed to state the amount OF tho corn
or what arranrcments had been tsnnl made al, this
think that 1t is very doubtful that the cereals
could reach Russia in time to be of use owing
to the difficulty in getting anything into that
country: Tho committee was inclined to grant
the petition. but it decided to leave the matter
in the hands OF their Western connections.
which will undoubtedly handle the co n free OF
charge II it will have the desired effect.

SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN.

While specifications as to details are as
yet somewhat meager, it seems that some
fresh railroad lightning Is very likely to
strike the southwest ere long. Three
weeks ago Jay Gould, S. II. II. Clark
and G. 2. Huntington were in confer
enCe at Ell Paso, and within three days
past the same parties have again met
by chance" at Pueblo. AS a result the
newspapers of Colorado, New Mexico
and Texas have lately built, on paper,
many attractive new lines OF road in the
southwest, but as yet neither of the
aforesaid mentioned magnates have in
timated which newspaper has come near
est to "callng the turn" on it all. That
something is going to happen, how ever,
seems probable. That the time is ripe
for something to happen is certain. We
hope that some enterprising reporter will
hold up Mr.. Gould and make HIM tell the
dear public all about it before he returns
to his task OF clipping coupons in Wall
street. This suspense is most unpleas-
opt

The RECENT MURDER.

TIE unprovoked and cowardly murder
of Francisco Chavez on Sunday evening
last should be, now that the district court is
in session and grand jury can be had,
fully, carefully and thoroughly investi-
gated. 1t is foul blotch upon this COM
munity that should by all means be wiped
out by the bringing of the perpetrators to
justice there has been entirely too much
lawlessness and too much disregard OF
law and the sooner very peremptory
stop is put to it, the better for the people.
Lawlessness has gone UNPUBLISHED aud
undetected for years; there is no use dis
cussing the why's and wherefores of the
situation; this latter must be changed.
The New MEXICAN will do its level best
and all it can toward that end This
journal will keep on urging that the fullest
investigation be made, that the grand
jury and the prosecuting officials do their
utmost toward the detection of the muir
derers and that the guilty party or parties
be brought to speedy justice and that the
law take its course.

IN A BAD WAY,

The anti-Hill state convention which
takes place at Syracuse, N. Y, to-day
again serves to call attention TO the
unenviable prcdicament in which the
national Democracy finds itself at the
threshold of the coming presidential cam
pagn Never before has that party or
any other presented such ripped-up-the-
back appearance. The Hill.Cleveland
fight has now gone so far that it is no
longer local quarrel, and altogether the
entire Democratic party is now a good
deal like the man who established his
vineyard on the slopes of Versuvius-it's
bound to blow up and go to pieces, which
ever way it goes.

The secret ballot is undergoing severe
criticism from the territorial press at the
present time, but for the life of us we
can not see where the business Of such
criticism comes in. 1t is the privilege
and the right of every American citizen
to vote as he peases, and no man or set
OF men have the power to force a man to
vote otherwise than he choose. The Sc
cret ballot is at the foundation of the
American electoral system and it ia by
the means of such a ballot that great
amount Of fraud, intimidation and jobbery
is prevented. Eddy Citizen.

is as certain as the legislature is certain
to meet. What the result will be, can
only be guessed at. 1t will be remem-
bered, however, that at the last session
of that body an effort was made to remove
the capital to Albuquerque, and the idea
had too strong following for the com
fort OF Santa Fes friends. The territorial
improvements, however, made at great
expense and in so substantial a manner
at the present capital, easily defeated
the measure. The burning of the capitol
building removes that barrier. The
making of an appropriation by congress
to rebuild the capitol at Santa Fe is
the only measure which will pro-
tect that city in the possession of
the capitol. An enabling act to
further the scheme in voting bonds
will not do it, That Santa Fe has many
friends on account of her historic charac-
ter, beautiful site and pleasant associa-
tons, all over the territory, there is no
question but whether these will offset
the inconvenience of her location to much
of the territory and the progressive spirit
Of Albuquerque, is serious question to
be considered This paper would not

it must represent the facts as they appear
in case that will, before another winter,
become of absorbing, if not exciting, in.
terest to the people Of New Mexico. AL
buquerque is the only competitor for the
seat of government. Ii removed at all, it
should be to Albuquerque. But Santa Fe
is a nice Old capital and we hone will
always be such. 1t is plain to be seen
though, that she must stir her stumps as
they have never before been stirred, to
hold her position. -Cerrillos Ruster.

A WORD IN TIME,

The Albuquerque Citizen opposes the
restoration of the capitol because it does
not want nineteenth century building
injected into sixteenth century town.
However, very fine nineteenth century
building did pretty well here for eight
years, AT the same time it must be ac-
knowledged that some of the citizens of
Santa Fe are too slow for anything; these
must get up and get move on themselves
else certainly this city will be left behind
in the procession.

BUT The COUNTRY WILL WORRY ALONG.

The LIS Vegas papers, the Albuquer-
que papers, and the Ration Range and
Silver City Sentinel on the side, threaten
to leave the Union IN case congress should
pass bill providing for the issue of bonds
for the purpose of restoring and rebuild
ing the capitol building at Santa Fe. This
will certainly be very hard on the coun-
try, should these papers carry out their
diabolical intention but then presumably
the country will worry along anyway.

The next term OF county officers should
be the last one where income depends on
fees. Candidates for counclmen, rep
resentatives and sheriff throughout the
territory should be required to pledge
their assistance in favor of law placing
all elective officers on salary. The idea
that men would not serve the county
properly on a salary is nonsense, and the
speediest way to prove it is to try the ex-
pertinent. This county alone pays in the
neighborhood of $50, 900, more or less, in
fees for services which could be had at, and
should not cost more than $4,000 1t is
well enough to say that men could not af-
ford to pay out 80 much to get elected were
they salaried, and we are willing to admit
it, but it would do away in a great meas
ure with the necessity of buying votes
with kegs of whisky and would free the
counties Of large amount Of corruption
at present in vogue and considered as
necessity by those DESTROYS of pucking
the plums which fall to the lot of those
who have the good fortune to be elected.
The cry is raised at every election that
money buys the Office, and in many in
stances it is too true, but were the offices
salaried, such would not be the case as the
income would not be alluring enough to
warrant such an expenditure. At any
rate let US try it, and the only way to do
so is to place candidates in a position
where they will be forced in honor to ad.
vocate such law, and that is to make
them pledge themselves before election.
The Advance is prepared to stand by such
a ition.-Deming Advance.

B0th Cases Should he Prosecuted
Promptly.

The Optic kicked last night on the pros
ecuting attorneys failure to prosecute
several criminal cases. We should think
that paper would be the last one in the
country to say word on that subject, as
it comes too directly home. However,
we think Mr., Fort can probably satisfy
that paper about the Herrera case as well
as the .home" case, on applying to HIM.
