MIR PRtDDN'S BILL

Mr. Priddy. of Charlotte. has offered IA
bill in the Legislature to forbid persons
standing near the ballot-boxcs in cleo
tons TO keep record OF those who vote.
We can conceive of no possible good TO
accrue from passing such a measure. as
all voters are recorded on the poll book,
while we demonstrated on Sunday in
the Smither's precinct case how good re-
suits may come out Of permitting such
a record to be kept IL there had been no
other evidence at all. the tally sheets that
the Populist ticket holders kept would
have been quite sufficient to prove the
fraud that was perpetrated there. II
keeping such a record had done no more
than 10 prove this fraud. that would have
been enough TO justify It's being kept for
ever. No one has a right TO complain
that outsiders record the fact that he
has voted. The man that is ashamed Of
having the fact known ought not to vote.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES

To no one are the disclosures about
election frauds more distressing than TO
The Times. We would gladly have
thrown the mantle OF charity over our
shoulders and walked backwards to cover
the nakedness of the miserable business.
But the naked ones were not ashamed.
ON the contrary. they were arrogant.
blatant. and defiant. Devotion to fraud
and perjury was set up as the standard
OF Democratic faith. and those who were
not willing to worship this Beelzebub were
decried as false to the faith of jefferson
and Henry and Randolph and jackson
and Cleveland, as II. forsooth. principle
and no principle were one and the same
thing.
We believe that moral force, the power
OF old-fashioned. simple truth. is as in
dlspensable in the preservation OF the life
OF a political party as it is in the main
tenance of the good character of an in
dividual. Nothing but the powerful truths
with which it was inspired could ever
have kept alive the Democratic party
through all its terrible vicissitudes. But
even the Democratic party cannot sur
yive long as a living lie.
We shall continue to appeal TO those
who believe in the elements of morality
TO agitate the question of honesty in cleo
lions until the elections are honest.
The receiver Is as bad as the thief"
The man who justlfes the fraud ana per-
jury should not condemn. but commend.
the perjurer.
There is no middle ground. And II per-
jury and fraud may be committed in one
case in which the perjurer thinks 1t is
justifiable. what is to be the limit unon
the exercise of this higher law by She
same man In any other case? And x it
is fair and proper for one man. why not
for another?
The logical consequences are very plain
and very terrible. Are Viiginians willing

Grand canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than a brook.

Be HONEST WITH THE PEOPLE.

In recent issue of this paper occasion
was taken to call the attention of the
people of New Mexico to the fact that
statehood in December and Republican
success this fall are absolute inconsis.
tencies. We then asked in absolute good
faith how the success of the one could be
reconciled with the success of the other
and we paused for reply.
The Republican papers we're not long
in being heard from. Some of them said
our position on this matter was "a con-
temptible threat" others spoke of it, in
articles a column long, as "the most
dastardly proposition ever made for the
voluntary disfranchisoment of people,
| and away down in the Pecos valley one of
the excitable brothars reared on his hind
| legs and demonstrated against thus "being
bribed and coerced into sacrificing OF
his rights as free man."
| During oil this time, however, no one
in the party seemed to think of meeting
otherwise than by lurid epithets, the
plain logic of our article and the palmer
logic of the situation.
1t is pleasure, however, to note that
one or two of the representative Repub.
lican papers are meeting the issue
squarely and honestly, and are taking
sides in the matter without attempting tc
pose as the friend of statehood and oi
Republicanism at the same time. Among
these is the Las Vegas Optic, which
realizing that Republican success this
fall will be fatal to statehood, takes an
open stand with its party, declaring "that
Republican success is more valuable now
than immediate admission"
The Albuquerque Citizen also men.
tions editorially the gains which the Re-
publicans are making in certain pre-
clncts on the idea that Mr.. Catron's elec-
tion twill prevent the passage of the
statehood bill"
An open foe is always to be preferred
to secret enemy, and this applies in the
cause of statehood as we'll as in other
matters.
If the Republican editors desire sue
cess for their candidate this fall, there il
no objection to their saying so. But lei
us have no more of that hypocrisy which
attempts to make Republicanism ane
statehood consistent. The method pur
sued by the papers above quoted is thu
only honest one. Let the rest of the Re
publican press who are supporting Mr.
Catron's candidacy follow the example
set by these papers; and let them frankly
honestly and openly acknowledge that
they are opposed to statehood. 1t is the
peoples right to know just where they
| stand.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican., 1894-10-06
AS TO "rRINClpIES."

"It's not Catron, the man, so much as
the principles he advocates and main
talns, that will land him in the national
halls of legislation" remarks the Las
Vegas Optic. Indeed? Does the Optic
include in this list of "principles" that
celebrated Catron libel law; the change OF
venue act; the poll tax law, and the Cat.
ron anti-public school policy that char
acterized everv session of the Legislature
in which he ever sat until Chet Kistler and
l.. R. E. Paulin came on deck and took a
hand in public affairs?
Does the Optic include also in this list
of "principles" the Republican candi-
dates affiliation with the notorious but.
ton-gang; his expert methods st tax-
lodging, and his position on the opening
of mineral on land grants to the mining
prospector? We pause for answer!
