GUILTY OF DEATH.

The facts are. think. clear and album
dant. We allow that the Jews had no
power 10 condemn a man TO death. This
fact increased their guilt 1t made the
cruclhxlon more difficult. The chief priests
and elders arrested Jesus at midnight and
carried Him before Caiaphas. the High
Priest, and scrlbes and elders, and by
them He was examined. They declared,
"He IS guilty Of death" Hcrod and Pi-
late both said there was no fault In
Him." and when PLATE warned them
against hasty judgment they replied, let
His blood be upon US and our children
To show their animus, when choice WAS
given them they liberated Barabbas
rather than Jesus. Afterwards they
stoned Stephen to death who. to their
faces, accused them OF the cruchxion.
Stephen was pure and benevolent man,
selected especially to provide for aged
widows Paul. the most intelligent Jew
perhaps in Jerusalem. was present and ap-
plauded the murderers With special au-
thority from the Chief Priest he, full Of
threatening and slaughter" arrested men
and women and put them In prison, and
approved their death. This was done
after the death OF the leader Jesus. II
would seem that His death would have
quleted thei, fears. Luke. who gives the
account in the Acts OF the Apostles, was
one OF the most accurate and cultured
writer's Of his age. He said he was an
eyewitness" that the facts he related
were lndubitable.

UNJUST.

Furthermore. to make the whole Jewish
people responsible for the crucihXion Of
Jesus would be unjust from another
standpoint. 1t was the act OF very few,
not one thousandth part of the popula-
ton The Council was n small body,
but OF great influence in religious mat
tiers; the High Priest was the head of
the Church. 1t was the Councils duty TO
guard the purity OF worship. The Jews
had the greatest reason To uphold their
religion. as It was infinitely superior to
any other known to mankind. To them
the claim Of Jesus seemed utterly vain
and absurd To rebuild" their grand
temple in three days; to have lived
before Abraham" TO be equal with the
great Father. were the rawlings OF a ma
niacl Hence they said. Away with
Him. He is not fit to liver They heed
ed not the reports Of His pure and useful
life. His miracles they discredted as the
work OF devils. His own disciples had no
sort Of conception Of His high mission
and divine character till after the resur-
rection. Peters denial Of Him was per-
fectly natural. Now. TO come directly to

into Jerusalem with a throng Of men,
women, and children-the latter at the
head of the cloumn-armed only with
palm branches, not swords and spears,
the leader riding on an unbrdled, wise
colt, doubtless excited rdicule rather than
alarm. In my pamphlet on Luke two
years ago l gave some reasons for the
opinion that at this time there were
thirty thousand Roman soldiers in Jerusa-

Priest said, IF you let this man go thou

So that 1t seems clear that the Jews

the NEW EExtGAAS ASSERTIONS ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT.

The Optic is usually fair in its politics,
but its unconditional support of the de-
faultiug ex-sheriff of Santa Fe county is
not in keeping with its usual course No
attempt has been made to deny the guilt
of ex-Sheriff Conklin, but several news
papers are trying to set public opinion
for him Oh the ground of political per-
secution. Let him be of any political
complexion he chooses, If he is de-
faulter let him be removed by any posi-
BILE means.-Socorro Advertiser.
The Optic had especially prided itself
on it's impartiality, in the present case,
giving the news without political COM
Inent or bias. Both Mr.. Conklin and the
New MEXICAN have positively denied, in
express and unmistakable terms, the ex-
istence of any shortage in his accounts.
The NEW MEXICAN asserts that he is the
only sheriff who, for years, has settled
prompt and fully, and according to law.
Las Vegas Optic.
And the New MExIoAN's statement is
absolutely born out by the facts.
Since September, 1891, when Frank
Chavez resigned as sheriff and collector,
because the fact of his large shortage was
too patent, and c. M. Conklin was APP
pointed sheriff and collector, up to and
including June 30, 1898, he has made
monthly reports and monthly settlements
for taxes received promptly and honestly
as the law requires.
Mr.. Conklin was charged with having
retained in his possession funds received
for licenses for over thirty days; (no
amount was given, and no specification
was cited as to amount; no opportunity
was given to find out the amount
in question:. This charge Mr.. Conk-
lin denies under oath; this is
also denied under oath by the deputy,
who, it is charged, received the money
for him; the matter is now in the courts.
1t is to be hoped in the cause of justice
and right that full and thorough hear
ing and Investigation of this matter will
be had, and that the letter and spirit of
the law, regardless of legal technicalities
and tricks, will prevail.

STAND BY YOUR FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS
INSTITUTIONS.

In times like these of money stringency
it behooves all good citizens to stand
sslidly by their home institutions, their
banks, mercantile houses and industrial
institutions, and give them even more
hearty support than they would ordinari-
ly. There is no doubt but that much of
the present panicky feeling is brought
about by the action of the hot-headed
people themselves. Take the Milwaukee
bank failures for en- example, and this is
plainly apparent. As Senator Teller has
rightly said, no banking house, not even
if it held all the money on deposit that is
contained in the U. s. treasury, can with
stand a continuous run when its deposit
ors lose confidence in themselves and
their fellow men and fall iuto panic
Hundreds of banks have through this
cause gone down lately that will un-
questionably resume business again at
an early day, having abundant
backing upon which il time were
given ample funds can be realized. In
starting these senseless runs men of inhu-
ence in Milwaukee have not only suffered
the consequences of their own misguided
conduct, but have brought suffering and
distress to thousands of the homes of
their fellow men. We regret also to ac-
knowledge that an indiscreet public press
has had not little to do with arousing
the fears of the people. Therefore we
saw let more conservative course be
pursued hereafter, and let us remain on
this conservative basis henceforth. In
all walks Of life conservation always wins
in the long run. Therefore our advice to
all western people is to keep clear heads
