ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Another Outrage in South Albuquer.
que Where Are the Officers
of the Law

Three men called at the house of vi
cente Sedillo, an old man residing in
south Albuquerque, about 2 O'Clock on
Sunday morning, and attempted to as
sassinate him. They fred three shots,
one through the front window and two
through the door. One of the latter
struck Mr.. Sedillo in the leg just above
the knee.
The circumstance prompts the Albu-
querque Citizen to say:
at is high time that our officers don
their 'sleuthing' caps and 60 cunning for
these midnight hold-ups and assassins.
Such acts as that which happened to
Perry Brown last Thursday morning, and
followed three days later by the attempt
ed assassination of Mr.. 6edillo, will give
Albuq uerque an exceedingly bad name
abroad as city where criminals and out
laws are safe from arrest"

a salutary lesson.
Sheriff Cunningham also presented q
report from the Sd ward. He said that
there had been sixteen names added to the
234 mentioned by Mr.. Ortiz and that now
the registration was $50, most of whom
he thought were safe to vote for reform
and progress in city affairs as represent
ed by the Democracy.
IN THE FOURTH.
Mr.. Melton Castillo reported that 246
names were registered in the 4th ward,
giving majority of twenty-four Demo
Gratis. Many who voted the Republican
ticket last year will vote the Democratic
ticket this year. Mr.. Castillo predicted a
sweeping victory.
On motion of Mr.. Cunningham, amend
ed by Mr.. Thos. P. Gable, the following
were named by the chair as campaign
committee to work in unison with the
committees appointed at the respective
ward meetings: Juan Delgado from the
LIST ward, Adolfo Hill from the I'd ward,
Juan Shoemaker from the Sd ward and
Sheriff Cunningham from the 4th.
The committee will meet at the sheriff's
office at 8 O'Clock Saturday morning
Gov. Thornton suggested that the COM
mittnes meet once day and study the
registration lists to prevent fraudulent
registration.
The suggestion was considered good
one, and the committees will act upon it
NO POLL TAX NECESSARY.
The chair at the suggestion of Mr.. ]. P.
Victory explained to those present that
the poll tax law, making it necessity to
have poll tax receipt before one could
vote, had been repealed, and that anyone
could vote whether or not they had paid
their poll tax.
Sheriff Cunningham reported that the
committee appointed at the meeting held
in Hon. N. B. Laughlin's Office to wait
upon Dr. Sloan and solicit him to run for
mayor had performed their duty, and re-
ceived from the doctor positive refusal
to allow his name to be used, his profess
sional duties making it impossible for
him to serve.
Hon. N. B. Langhlin was called upon
for speech, but owing to the lateness of
the hour declined, and the meeting ad-

US. LAND COURT.
Proceedings of the Session at Tucson
Intricate Questions Under
Consideration.

The court of private land claims met in
regular session for the district of Arizona
Monday of last week at Tucson. Anumber
of cases were set for trial, and the court took
up motion in the Nogales de Elias case
No. 20, which was tried and rejected at
the December term. The motion was filed
by the claimants, and the decision of
which will be interesting to all litigants
and attorneys in New Mexico as well as
Arizona. The facts are, Immediately after
the decision of the court last December
reiecting this Nogales de Elias grant,
counsel for the claimants prayed an ap-
peal to the supreme court of the United
States, which was allowed and entered of
record. The point came up on leave to
withdraw notice of appeal and file motion
for rehearing. It was contended in oppo-
sition that the moment the appeal was
prayed and granted this court lost juris-
diction, and therefore could entertain no
motion whatever, and that these appel
lants should 60 to the supreme court to
have said appeal dismissed.
Argument was made by VIM. Herring,
esq.,, Rochester Ford, esq, and F. G.
Heney, esq.,, for claimants, and Hon. M.
G. Reyn olds for the United States.
On Wednesday the court decided the
case, saying that the decision of the su-
preme court established the practice be-
yond any question before them and that
any time during the ''term," parties could
withdraw their appeal, and the court still
had jurisdiction. That when adjourn
ment was taken last December it was not
an adjournment of the term, therefore,
this court, under rulings of the supreme
court, still had jurisdiction, and thabmo-
ton for rehearing would be heard.
Tuesday the case of the United States
VS.. Santiago Ainsa ct al, for confirmation
of the San Jose de Senoita grant, came
up for trial and was most closely contest
ed. Hon. R. g. Hopkins, W. M. Upton
and H. 0. Flipper were examined as Span
ish experts and surveyors and arguments
we're made by Rochester Ford for claim
ants, followed by M. g. Reynolds for the
United States and VIM. H. Barnes for the
settlers.
On Thursday argument on the Senoita
case No. 40, the trial of which commenced
on Tuesday, continued. s
On Friday the San Rafael del Vale
came up for trial, Juan Pedro Canon ct
al, plaintiffs. The amount of land claimed
is about 10000 acres; attorneys, VIM.

The 18th international Christian En-
deavor convention is to be held in Cleve-
land, Ohio, July IL, to 10, 1894. Cleve-
land Endeavorers are hard at work laying
plans for the proper care and entertain

The committee of '94 are planning for
anywhere from $4,000 to 10000 delegates.

OFFICIAL GOSSIP.

Postmaster Weltmer was appointed
March "a, four years ago, and his COM
mission bears date of April 10. 1t is,
therefore, probable that few weeks will
bring from Washington the appointment
of new postmaster for Santa Fe.
Agent Plummer has done good work in
trailing down the Navajoes supposed to
have murdered L. N. era1th, tito LIorCnsnu
at Defiance. Tho Navajoes had hearing
at Gallup yesterday and we're committed
to jail to await the action of the Berna-
lilo county grand jury.
The contest case of Antonio Salazar VS..
Jose Y. Martinez, was called in the land
Office yesterday, but was settled by a
compromise between the two parties.
Martinez filed on 16O acres of land in San
Miguel county, but Salazar claimed he
was not living on it and brought suit to
dispossess him.
A financial statement of the condition
of San Miguel county, at the beginning
of the present year, appears in the Optic.
1t shows the county to be nearly 100000
in debt, which is fact TO be regretted;
but it also shows that this indebtedness
has been slowly accommodating through
a series of many years, and that the
present county board have done as little
to increase it as circumstances over which
they had no control would permit.

ton, located at Las Cruces, publishes, at
frequent intervals, bulletins which con-
tain information that is of value to the
farmers, fruit growers and stock raisers
of New Mexico. These bulletins give the
results of experiments made with the
raising of field crops and the growing of
fruit and vegetables, giving those varie-
ties best adapted to our climate; the dis
eases of plants and their remedies; irri.
eating waters; insects, both injurious
and beneficial to vegetation, and many
other subjects. No one interested in
practical agriculture can afford to do
without them. They are sent entirely
free of cost to any resident of the terri.
tory engaged in practical agriculture. If
you desire your name placed on the sta
ton mailing list, SO as to receive these
bulletins as they are published, send your

To Our ASSailants.

We are very mcrciful man. One
Republican editor attacked us, the
othe day, and neighbor of his writes:
"Within the past three months
this fellow married vile creature-a
frequenter OF houses" ETC.,
etc, etc.
We refuse to strike back, and sup
press the editors name.
Another Republican editor abused
US so shamefully that detective
came to us with package of proofs of
the most awful kind.
Again we stayed our hand
Would it not be better to let us
alone? We would rather spare than
strike. The little chaps should notice
that the big dailies treat us kindly
and respectfully. Uavn't they got
sense enough to dry up? Or are they
eager to be perforated?
We are fully able to take care of our
self: and we observe that there are
some natures that are much more sus-
ceptible to the influence Of terror than
of kindly treatment. They mistake
kindness for cowardce and amiability
for imbc ccility. A grave error.

TO ANXIOUS MOTHERS.
A Word of Explanation.

Baby is bowling in the cradle. Lord

his countenance. The dead in the

What is the matter with the preci-
Gus little -wootsey-the dear lit
tie vociferous roly-poly?

No; none of these.
His guardian angel has just whis-
pered to the little newcomer that be-
fore he came out of the unknown
land. into his present environment,
the Republican party had saddled on
him, as his per capita share of Mime
sota's real estate mortgage indebted
ness, the dreadful sum of 1852! And
that he owes as much more per capita
for floating debts and membranes
on personal property. And three
times as much more for watered rail
road stock; and four times as much
for national, state, county and town
ship Indebtedness. And that nine per
cent of the people have gobbled
seventy-one per cent of all the prop
erty; and that by the time he is of age
1T will be ninety-one per cent; and that
the land is all concentrating in few
hands: and he will lack a resting place
for the sole of his foot: and when he
marries he and his wife will have to
get off the earth and go up in bal
loon: and hang the babies. when they
come in parachutes, and feed them on
the north wind.
And he howls. Who wouldn't howl?
He orants to go bach' OF course he does.
He says the earth is preoccupied-the
world is ruined-he has no show He
wants to go to Mars or Venus. Yah,

Here is decrease, in twenty years,
of more than One-thild in the price of
the principal commodities used by the
human family! That means de-
crease of more than one-third in the
value of all things made by human la
Dor: and yet Mr.. Horr would have us
believe that there has been no CORE

Horr would have us also belive that

absurd. He might just as we'll claim

A DREADFUL SHOWING.
Majority Of Englishmen Tenants

So far as the matter of Ian d is con-
cerned, the great majority of English
men are tenants, and John Bull"
pays trifie more than $500, 100000 a
year for farm-rent, alone. This fact
becomes the more clear, and one may
add the more lugubrious, when it is
said that there are 72,000,000, acres
Of land in the United Kingdom, and
that 3O,O0O,O 900 of those are owned by
5000 persons, and 10000, 900 are owned
by only / 900 persons. In a word. 3S.-
900 inhabitants of Great Britain
have - 900, 600 acres, and the other IS
600 have oO,OCO. 900 acres; or, more CON
cisely still, 900 Englishmen own five
twelftl.s of all the land in Great Brit.
ain.-Forum.
That's what the United States will
come to in twenty five years unless
the Peoples party comes into power.
Just think of it:-between 1880 and
1890, according to the United States
census, the o,cners Of land, in this
country, increased but p per cent.
while the population increased over
30 per cent. And in the same time
the renters of land incre ascd 4O3 per
cent! In other words, there were
twenty times as many men became
tenants as became land owcncrs.
Is any man fool enough not to see
where all this leads to? 1t means the
establishment of the worst features
of the Old World on the virgin soil Of
the New World. 1t means the ruin of
human race.
Who produced all this? The old
parties. Who has no remedy for it?
The old parties. What party has been
organized to fight it? The Peoples
Party. l. -.

REMEMBER STAND FIRM.
An Appeal For the Ticket.

We call upon every Peoples Party
man in the state to stand by the ticket
first, last and all the time Not by
the candidate for governor alone. but
by all the ticket. It is nearly as i'm
portant to elect Mr.. Lommen lieuten-
ant-governor, as it is to elect Mr. Owen.
The lieutenant governor has to ap-
point all the committees of the senate,
and upon the organization of those
committees largely depends the legis-
lation Of the session. So with Mr..
Borchert. the state treasurer. Things
are all wrong with that office. Millions
Of dollars of unnecessary taxation are
wrung from the people and stored in
in the banks and loaned back to the
people who paid it, at high rates of in
terest. The state auditors office is as
important as that of governor. All
the vast pine and mineral and swamp
lands are in his hands, and we know
immense frauds have been perpetrated
during the past 30 years. Elect Mr.
Stromberg and this thing will be
stopped. And the election of Mr..
Keyes as encouragement, is of the
utmost Importance. He will be the
right hand of the governor and state
auditor in prosecuting the timber
thieves. Neither is the office of secre-
tary of state un1mportant. Do your
utmost for Mr.. Seberger. Judge Will
is election is foIegone conclusion: SO
take off your coats and do your
best for Sumner add for chief justice
an able man. And the clerk of the
court you must not forget-C. II. John
son, Of Pipestone.
For one and all do your utmost.
