A Bubble Pricked and the Un. Wholesome Gas Allowed
 to Escape.

tue hiohcy aPPiSPHiateu oy SouSicss during Joseph's six years in the House was to benefit the capital city, Santa Fe. Go to Washington and ask any member of Congress who secured these appropriations for Santa Fe, and they will tell you Steve Elkins. It was Steve who pulled the strings and Joseph danced to the tune that this boss manipulator played. Here are the figures which are published as being the appropriations secured by | MT. Joseph for New Mexico: Appropriation for federal
 building at Ssn:s Fe. .... .$10O,OOO | Appropriation for repairs of. the governors palace. ..... 10000 Appropriation for Indian
 school at Santa Fe. ...... 33,OOO Appropriation for extension
 to same Gin 1e92) ........ 10000 Appropriation for national
 cemetery at Santa Fe. l5,OOO Bill for reduction of the Maya
 jo Indian reservation near
 Santa Fe. Fe............... o,OUO Bill for same for Mescalero
 Indian reservation near
 Santa Fe. o,OOO Bill for the establishment of
 the agricultural college and
 securing the annual govern
 ment appropriation of. .... 15,OOO Bill creating the office of su-
 perin;endent of same, at a
 salary per annum of. ... 72O Appropriation for the enlarge
 ment of Ft. Marcy at Santa
 Fe. .... 100000 Bill for Capitol furniture at
 Santa Fe. 50,OOO
 Two of the appropriations made out side of Elkins' Santa Fe appropriations were the following, upon the recom- mendation of the Indian department: Appropriation for Indian school at Albuquerque. 1925 900 Appropriation for enlargement of same QS92). 2)... l2,OOO During Mark Smiths term of six years a much larger amount has been appropriated for Arizona Indian schools, which are in operation at Tucson, Fhenix and other points in the territory. The other two sppro- pristions, which are published as emanating from MT. Joseph's energy, | are:
 Appropriation for survey of private land claims. ......$ 1000 Appropriation for survey of Rio Grande river from Em- budo to Fl Paso ...... 25,OOO
 The latter appropriation was made as a result of negotiations with Mexi- co by the general government, and is of an international character.
 With equal fairness, could Mark | Smiths friends claim that the money to the tune of a half million dollars, now being expended in surveying the boundary line between Arizona and Sonora, was secured by him. The $7 ,OOO for the survey of public lands we will place to MT. Joseph's credit. For the sake O! argument, we admit that he secured that appropriation, and go to the next statement, which is a stem winder and full jeweled:
 Bill for settlement of h.
 dian depreciation claims in New Mexico, providing
 for payment to citizens, as they prove up their | cialnS. .V',o|V,VOV Appropriation for payment i of such claims already
 proved up and allowed. 2OO,OO
 Of all the lying, deceitful assertions ever made, the above is the most glar- ing. Every voter who reads news paper remembers that about two years ago a call was issued to all citizens throughout the United States who had suffered from Indian depredations to file his or her claim with the Interior department.
