We now and then indugle in pro-
phesy and that which is prophesied
always comes true. We did SO on Feb.
20, 1892, as follows:
'The editor of the Albuquerque Democrat
wants to bet his money, at great ODDS, that
Cleveland will be the next candidate of the
democratic party for president. Would it
not be the wiser plan for the Colonel to drop
his nickel in the slot; by doing this he is
certain of receiving something in return for
money invested"
We wrote the above knowing who
Col. Albright's opponents with their
vile s|landerous ways were and are. Al
bright was the logical nominee of the
democratic party for the position to
which he aspired, that of governor of
New Mexico. Albright's paper, the
Democrat, was one Of the first, if not
the first paper in the United States, to
haunt, in the faceof the people, Grover
Cleveland as the nominee of the demo-
cratic party, for the third time. Grow
er Cleveland received the majority Of
the vote of New Mexico in the nOmi-
mating convention at Chicago. Grover
Cleveland was elected. Albright ap.
piled for the appointment of governor
of New Mexico at the hands of Grover
Cleveland. Then the democratic mug,
wump mud began tofy, and Col. Thorn

Thornton is no better. We now taunt,

"John Riley says the prospects for the re-
publican party, at the coming ele ctions, are
so good that there is really no fun in it. He
would like to meet fomen worthy of his
steel, but what few democrats there are left,
are poor, detected, halt. hearted fellows that
excite his sympathy, rather than stir the
martial fire that slumbers in his breast,
awaiting election time to lead the republi.
cons Of the Rio Grande to victory"
The above item appeared in the
Silver City Enterprise just before the
tidal wave of democracy swept over
the country. We thought John Riley
had been meeting foemen worthy Of his
steel all these past years and we are,
however painful it may be to us, con-
strained to knowledge that the fOemen
vanquished John Riley. We were un-
der the impression that John Riley had
gone to live in Denver, Colorado, after
his encouragement of several politi-
cal campaigns in the RioGrand Valley,
had resulted in disastrous defeat for
him and his followers, whom he called
the republican party. Is not this so?
Well, then, what is so? The alternate
is, If we take his words as a text, that
John Riley was vanquished unworthy
of his steel, in which case he must
have been asleep. The truth of the
matter is that the Santa Fe-Las Cruces
rings, on the republican side Of the po-
litical fence, want to grab, for them
selves and their h%eelers, all the posi-
lions of honor and pay which are APP
pointive or elective in New Mexico;
and as their greed has not always been
satisfied they have even gone so far as
to bolt conventions and split the party,
they rune the chances oil the repuDIl-
can party years ago, and have kept up
their evil, arrogant ways and schemes
until they have nearly ruined its
chances of success.
However, we are ready to meet John
Riley, or any n calling himself a re-
publican and willing to work for the
good Of the republican party. on the
square, openly, fearlessly, and In a
manly manner, and if they will help us
gain a republican victory this fall, we
will be the first to give them credit for
it. But success IA only come through
UNION.

How the Shot-G Gun Gurillas at
Santa Fe "Enforce the Law"
and Murder Justice.


In its attept to suppress the CALLING
truths concerning the shooting Of Ala
rid at Santa Fe by the territorial adj
ministratlon bushwhackers the guber-
national organ, the Santa Fe New Mex
lean, recently set up the following full
moon-dog-howl:
"The work of ferreting out and pun
ishlng crime in New Mexico will go
right along under the present adminis-
tratiOn despite the rawlings Of such rab-
id republican sheets as the Las Cruces
Republican. Speaking of the wound
ing of Alarid in Santa Fe the other
day the Republican makes the coward
ly observation That sheriff Cunning
ham was appointed to kill Mexicans
and he seems to be succeeding" For
shame! Do honest republicans, Wany
of whom are law abiding citizens, de-
sirous of seeing New Mexico prosper
and advance under improved con-
ditions, endorce such statements? We
can rot believe it. 1t is a well known
fact that Alarid, while resisting arrest.
musket in hand, was shot by a republi-
can police official, acting under instruc
lions from a republican mayor, and yet
a republican organ has the temerity to
proclaim such stuff as truth in its edi-
torial coiumes. ms a boomerang that
can dc the republican party no good.
Its organs must cease 10 pose as APP
ologists for criminals and desperadoes
if it wants to enjoy even a modicum of
respect at the hands of law abiding
citizens"
To the above wailings of the COVER
nor's wind bag, the Rio Grande Repub-
lican knowingly and Understandings
replies:
"The above is from a recent issue of
the Santa Fe Daily New Mexican is, as
concerns the shooting of Alarid, abso-
lutely and thoroughly untrue. Alarid
was shot by men who went to his house
without a warrant and without legal
authority; he was shot by a man,
named Cooley Peaver, who had been
deputized by a deputy sheriff as depu-
ty for the occasion; he was shot with
a double barreled shot gun twice and
that in the back then, although nearly
dead and bleeding profusely, he was
dragged off to Jail in the most hor-
rible and brutal manner by Cunning
hams posse. The policeman alluded
to, James Harris by name, fired one
shot with his pistol but it went into
the ceiling. The other statements OF
the New Mexican are also false. No
one has been called to accOaGt for this
shooting, and M one ever will be as far
as the law is concerned, as Goveonor
Thornton and his district attorney
Crlst and his sheriff's gang in Santa Fe
| are not inclined to prosecute any per
son who shoots a republican and thus
helps the democratic cause in Santa Fe
along"

LOCATING THE BED.
A Task Requiring the Exercise Of Consid-
cradle Judgment.

cradle Judgment.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to the necessity to the health
of sleeping in bed placed north and
south. The old-fashionedi idea that the
currents of electricity going from pole
to pole affect the sleeper is now sup
posed to be superstition.
Yet the babit that most of us have
acquired of placing our beds wherever
it is possible with the head to the
north will probably cling to us. One
thing, however. that is of Importance
is that the bed should not be placed
against the wall, but should be accessi-
BILE on both sides. The old fashion Of
placing the bed in an alcove, which
cannot be ventilated as we'll as large
room, is considered to be an unhygienic
one An excellent reason why bed
should not be placed against the wall
is that the person who sleeps at the
rear of the bed is likely to have his
face, during sleep, so near the wall
that his breath, striking the wall, will
be rebreathed again.
So large a portion of existence is
necessarily spent in sleep that the To-
cation of the bed, the bed covering and
bedding and the furniture of the bed
room should be the subject Of consid-
Grafton and thought. AS it is, too
often this is the last room considered.
In many families a good-sized closet,
with no opening into the outer air, is
considered good enough for bedroom.
Not only should the bedroom be thor
oughly ventilated and exposed to the
rays of the sun, if this is possible, but
| the bedclothing should be taken OIL
and hung in the air and sun for several
! hours before the bed is made up. The
| fashion of the double bed is rapidly
+ passing out of use. Where two per-
sons occupy the same room two single
beds, or twin beds placed side by side.
take its place, for two persons can
rarely sleep together without one OF
them feeling i'll effects. 1t is a most
injurious practice for child to sleel
with an adult, but it is equally bad fol
a strong. vigorous child to sleep with q
delicate, nervous one. The stronger
person may sometimes draw strength
from the weaker, but usually this Ii
reversed, and the more vigorous persol
is the sufferer.-N. Y. Tribune.
