WHAT THE GOOD OFT?

The attempt to organize camp
of the self-styled peoples party"
in Lincoln county, or New Mexico,
seems entirely unnecessary and
uncalled for by presentconditions.
The experience of states in which
this aggregation of dupes, manip-
ulated by political shysters of small
caliber as to ability generally and
without moral force, has made suf-
ficient progress to gain the ascen-
dancy in their Legislative or exec
utive counsels, has been far from
satisfactory to any except the dl-
rect beneficiaries of the delusion,
who we're boosted into fat public
positions through its operation
usually after having been sat down
upon by the various other parties
10 which they had belonged.
In Kansas, where crankism
i'll all its various phases finds most
congenial soil, this populist craze
naturally succeeded best. There
it should have shown wherein it
was superior to either of the cold
parties" and particularly the Re
publican party which had been in
almost uninterrupted control since
the formation of the state. But
the leaders were not capable of it.
They promptly proceeded to make
the condition of the state far worse
than it had been by insane threats
to repudiate debts owed in the
east and by Legislation to make
debts as nearly as possible uncol-
lectable. Kansas owed her devel-
opment almost entirely to foreign
capital, as New Mexico and all
countries in process of develop
ment must, and the sudden cut
ting off of her money supply, the
unexpected refusal to renew old
loans and steps taken by creditors
to get their money into their own
hands again had results not hard
to imagine.
The leaders of the party in that
state started out in 1890 with a
campaign whose purpose was the
adjustment of public and private
honesty; and they would have sue
ceeded but for the fact that the cold
party" retained enough strength
as a "hold over" to thwart them
AS an evidence that this is not"al
talk" the doubter may be cited to
persons who heard the stump ora.
tors of that yetr; and to what had
still more weight-the letter which
farmer Ben Clover, who was sem
to congress from the third Kansas
district i'll 1890, wrote to an east
ern loan company holding a mort
gage on his farm. In this letter
he coolly stated that he did no
propose to pay oif their mortgage
that new party was coming into
control, and that he wouldn't hav,
TO. This letter was shown to nu
merous Kansas parties as a forci
bic argument in support of The
company's refusal to send NOR,
money to the state. There wer,
similar threats in plenty from
fellows whose position gave then
less influence.
In the name of political emanci
patton, these reformers corralleC
their voters in school houses OF
election day, held them there un
til all were brought in, threatened
dire results to any who disobeyet
the edicts of the bosses, marched
them TO the polling places ant
voted them under the eyes Of mel
appointed to spot" the traitors
to the cause"
They now conduct the business
OF the state much as under th,
old regime except that in nev
and untried hands there is less ef
fcieacy and promptucss. Amonl

The Netc Mexican gives the following
version of the killing of the supposed
murderer Of John Dougherty, ex-sheritf
of Mora county: Juan Antonio Rael,
suspected of being the murderer of John
Dougherty at Mora some weeks ago.
was shot and killed Sunday night at La
Cueva by officers who had a warrant for
his arrest This man Rael, who was al
most fullblooded Indian and bad
man, having previously killed two men,
was strongly suspected at the time of
the Dougherty murder, and at the subsc-
quent investigation it was generally
thought that he knew a great deal more
than he told. Saturday Stanislaus San
doval, Mexican, made oath that Rael
made proposition to him to assist in
the killing of Dougherty. On this a
warrant was issued for Rael's arrest, and
Sandoval was committed to prison to
be held as witness, Sheriff Agapito
Abeyta went out to Coyote, Rael's home,
to arrest him, but he was not there. Dep
mites Juan Romero, the county iailer,
and Sostenes Lueero, went to La Cueva
and found their man in bed. Being told
of their mission, he made no resistance
but arose, dressed himself and went to
the corral for his horse. His overcoat
was on the saddle. aud while pretending
to bo fixing the coat he drew his revolver
and began firing on the officers, one bal
passing through Romero's coat. Lucero
returned the ii-e and Rael was killed

Mr.. VIM. LANE,
Dear Sir and friend:-I feel under
many obligations for the copy of the
OLD ABE EAGLE sent me and for other
information given concerning the MUIR
der case, of which my brother, Andrew
q. Fowler, is charged.
All 1 have heard about the case seems
in Andrews favor; though may not have
heard it all. All those who have written
to me concerning the case think Andrew
will come out all right if there be no
false swearing done for the reward off
cred for the convicted person.
hope that Andrew will soon get
trial and that his friends there will watch
these would be reward seekers. I don't
that his father or any of his brothers
will be at his trial. We are laboring
people with limited means. and have de-
pendent families that need our constant
care and attention.
IuoTo VIII no uo UTiueu IuIoiS uor
"bought out judges. hope and pray
that his lawyer, whoever he may be, will,
as before God, do bim the best work in
his power.
The history of Andrew q. Fowler is
known to the people of White Oaks since
87, at which time he had just emerged
from the parental roof, beardless boy
Of IS summers. His history prior to
this time was only that of an obedient
son. The example set before him
through life up to that time had always
been that of Christian father and mo-
ther. Not boasting at ALL but he is the
first and only one OF seven sons that was
ever arrested for anything, not even a
breach of the peace.
Poor Andrew! Every night as l lie
down think of him as he lies wakefully
in his cold dark CELL His condition is
bringing many prematurely gray hairs to
the heads of his aged parents. l am
glad to know that Andrew owes no man,
and that he has many friends there who
will help him to get justice.
l will close, thanking you for past ia.
vors, and will still be thankful for any
other information You can give in regard
to the time and proceedings of his trial
Yours very respectfully,
Gro. M. 4. FOWLER
