RAILROAD RALLY!

The following extracts taken from the
OPTICS report of the official action of the
Las Vegas Commercial club is self
explanatory, besides containing the
letter of Mr., Reynolds, referred to else
where:
"We cannot, perhaps, better set forth
the proposition now made to the line OF
the Denver-El Paso railroad, than by
quoting from the letter OF Jefferson Ray
nolds, vice e-president and manager of the
road, to Hon. John Evans, president of
the road, in which Mr.. Reynolds in
dicates the conditions upon which de-
pends the beginning Of construction.
Mr.. Reynolds says;
Take the Rocky mountain country,
as n whole, from Denver to Ell Paso, and
say to that whole; Gentlemen, if you
will raise me $1,000,000 in subscriptions
to the preferred stock of this company,
we will agree to invest permanently in
your country, s9,000,000; is it not good
thing for the country, on its face? Say
nothing of the development of resources
and bringing to your doors, at Denver,
the entire empire of country from Trini-
dad through to the City of Mexico
distance of, say $500 miles.
II do not presume you have time to
write much, but if your health permits,
| hope you will keep the Denver papers
posted on this Rocky mountain region
enterprise, until we can get a subscrip-
tion of 100000 from your city to the
preferred stock of the company. From
assurances | now have, it is entirely
proper for us to say, that if the cities
on the line will subscribe Sl,0OO,OGO as
above stated, to the preferred capital
stock of the company, the line can be
built at once.
"ln a word, we are assured positively,
by Mr. Reynolds, that when s1,000,OOO is
raised in subscriptions to the preferred
stock of the road, by tho local country
through which the road runs, the other
S9OOO,0O0 can be raised from a sale Of
bonds Of the road aud the work of con
struction will begin at once at several
different points on the line.
ave big TO send hearty greeting to all
our sister cities and towns along the line
through their representative business
associations. We are all bound together
by common interest in the building of
OF this magnificent road. We are con
vinced that the equal of the short line
enterprise, in importance, benefit and
merit, has never before been presented
to the Rocky mountain region. We have
it in our power at this very day to secure
the construction OF this railroad, con
ditioned only upon our subscribing for a
reasonable amount Of preferred stock,
equally apportioued amongst us. We
can build this road if we will

INDIAN UPRISING.

That the Territorial fair was an i'm
provement over any previous one and an
universal success in every department,
need not be remarked by the press, were
the public outside of New Mexico con-
versant with the degree of intelli gence
and high standing of character of the
citizens of Albuquerque and in general
throughout this rapidly improving Ter
ritory.
An unparalleled feature of the annual
parade occurring this year during fair
week has passed unnoticed by the press
SO far as the EAGLE has observed. In
addition to the fambeau club, firemen
and usual participants, one of the great
est evidences Of the rapid strides of
modern civilization should be accorded
to the influences brought to bear upon
the native Indians. Moving in this
creditable parade were body of male
Indian youths, uniformed and marching
in double column, probably 100 strong.
Immediately following came large
wagon containing thirty or forty Indian
girls and another wagon containing
about the same number of younger
Indian boys.
At various points in the parade, while
passing, allow the EAGLE to invite the
people and the public press of the east,
who are generally SO active in believing
and reporting danger and dread of the
Indians, to say to you that these intelli-
gent children were actually engaged in
singing i'll chorous various patriotic
national airs; singing them in pure
English and with as fair degree of ac-
complishment as do the public school
children of the east. Could some of our
sensational reporters of the east have
been present and heard these bright
eyed, sweet-voiced, happy Indian child
ren, publicly singing through Albuquer-
que's streets the Red, White and Blue"
possibly their great occupation of alarm
ing the east about Indian outbreaks and
massacres in New Mexico would have
acquired slight back-set in their own
judgment whether it would have had
any influence in future reports or NOT.
The fact is that the Indians of New
Mexico are more peaceable than the
whites of the cities east where the Indian
outrage press reports are published and
the strikes and shooting down of labor
ing men by Pinkerton's and various
other murders east OF the Mississippi, IN
the aggregate, amounts to far greater
proportions and more heinous crime
than all Of the Indian and other assas-
sinations of the west.
New Mexico wants statehood, merits
it and has merited it for years and it
is high time that certain Republican
papers Of the east "catch on to some OF
the many commendable features of our
people and country and publish them
and advocate our claims to recognition
as a state or candidly admit that their
representations are false and their inten.
tiona are political supremacy at any
cost no matter how unjust to the peo
pie OF New Mexico.

THEIR SCHEME FAILED.
An Attempt Made BY Two Men to Rob a
Safe in Louisville.

Special to the Leaf. Chronicle.l
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 1.-Two I'M
known men resorted to clever
scheme yesterday morning in an eff
fort to rob the safe in the Office of
Morat Sons Il Co., the florists, on
Fourth avenue. While the porter
was sweeping out the store he was
approached by two men who repre-
scented themselves as employees of the
Hall Safe and Lock Company. They
said they had come to inspect the
safe, but the porter suspected some
thing and refused to allow them to
go near it. When a member of the
firm arrived he telephoned to the
Hall company and found that the
men were impostors, whose design
was evidently to rob the safe.

THE FIRST GUN.
Ex-Governor Taylor to Open the
Campaign in GAINESVILLE.
He viii Be Here Thursday, August 26,
and Every Democrat in the Coun-
ty Should Hear Him.

Ex-Governor Robert l.. Taylor
will open the campaign here Thurs
day, August %. On that day he
will make political speech at the
courthouse and this announcement
is sufficient to draw large crowd Of
people. Gov. Taylor is one OF
the best political speakers in the
State, and it is safe to say that he
will make the welkin ring in this his
opening speech of the campaign.
He is one of the presidential electors
on the Democratic ticket, and no
man is better prepared to preach
pure Democracy than is "Our Bob. !"
The fact that Montgomery county
has been chosen as the ground for
the first gun of the campaign to be
fired, should fill Democrats with en-
thusiasm. They should turn out in
force and give the - nker such an
ovation as will encourage him in the
work before him. When d speaker
of any kind sees the people are with
him he can do much more effective
work. 1t is but proper, therefore, that
very large crowd be should present
on this occasion. Let Democrats turn
out from every district in the county,
bring their dinner with them if they
want to and have good old fashion
ed rejoicing. Come with your neigh
bors and neighbors' children if he
wants to bring them. Bob Taylor
loves children, and he hates Republi-
cans, from political standpoint. He
will amuse every man and child on
the ground and also give them a
taste of Democratic oratory. Every
body turn out and give him a rous-
ing welcome.

An Appreciated Gift.

their kindness very much. The

for us and will enable us to finish
our house sooner than we could have
expected to have done without them.
