Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1893-10-21

needed was something Of the polish and
culture and refinement which are SO char
acteristic of the older portions of the
country, but now we are absolutely sure
of it. This certainty, in our intelligent, if
uncultivated, minds, has been inspired by
an article in recent issue of Fosters
Daily Democrat, published at Dover, N.
H. For the information of our fellow
barbarians who may not know much
about the said Dover, we will say that we
are reliably informed that it is but a short
distance from Boston, where is to be
found, of course, the ne plus ultra of all
that is elevating and ennobling to both
the intellectual and spiritual nature, and
that it is quite permeated with the meta
phorical axle-grease which may be sup
posed to ooze ont of the imaginary Hub
of the universe.
We copy the article below, and ask our
readers to observe how low and coarse,
how full of undignifed, invective and un-
manly regeneration western journalism
appears in comparison with the gems of
thought which drip from the facile pen
of the fearsome Foster.
1t is, or ought to be, needless to say
that we agree with Mr.. Fosters senti-
ments, Notwithstanding our inability to
rise to his lofty level in expressing them.

GIVEN THE POWER INDEED.
Power has been given to the Demo-
cratic party in order that it may &C
complish needed and promised work.
The most pressing part of that work is
the repeal of the silver purchasing act.
Circumstances have made this the first
duty. There must be no failure at the
beginning of the redemption of pledges.
-Yew York World. A
Yes, ''power has been given to the
Dem ocratic party" and why don't they
use it? They were going to work all
sorts of reform and do wonderful lot
of great things. They were an exceed
ingly pure lot of saints, compact, solid,
heroic and brave, and the way they were
going to regenerate and renovate all the
Aurean stables and establish and per-
petuate true and undefiled religion all
over this broad land was caution to
all Republican sinners of high and low
degree. They were given the broadest
and most ample and comprehensive pow
er to chain the devil and install the mil
lennium for thousand years, that the
scriptures might be fulfilled. The good
immaculate and ponderous Cleveland
was the anointed of Heaven to do both
the material and moral work of purii-
cation and sanctification. The congress
of minor apostles was to be his most
obedient instrument in the wonder she
was to perform. With omnipotent great
ness he commanded them to pull them
selves together for the glorious work in
hand. They came. o., yes, they are there
| They have been there, these dear, ener
getic, master workmen reformers, fol
about two long months, wrangling, brawl
ing, at cross purposes and cross legs
going round on their heads, looking
through glasses darkly, piping, braying
staggering, foaming, discordant, unkepl
political jugglers, liars, hypocritss and
| frauds from the stuffed prophet at the
head to Jeremy Diddler Jack Shocks al
the tail.
They are all Democratic reformers who
have had their own way for seven months
and marvellous is the reform we see al
around, the work of their patriotic ane
| unselfish hands. "There must be no fail
ure" shouts the fake World.-Of course
there will be none. How can anything bt
failure when it is proving to be JUS
what every man of any knoledge o.
common sense knew it must naturally ant
inevitably be? The World is away OF
not in it at all. 1t seems to think that
frst-class bugle can be made of Pig
curly tail. 1t can not be done. Th'
nature of the thing is against it.
