MALONE CALLED DOWN.
Pointed and Dignitied Resolutions
Adopted by Spanish Americans
of Santa Fe.

At meeting of Spanish-Americans OF
this city and of other parts of the terri
tory, on October 26, presided over by An
tonic Ortiz Salazar, with Anlceto
Abeytia Jose Ortiz Baca and J. l..
j ohnson as vice presidents and Jose
Segura and Clemente Ortiz as secretaries,
the following resolutions were unani-
mouslY adopted:
Whereas, T. Fl. Malone, editor of the
Colorado Catholic, in the issue of the 18th
of said paper, editorially uses the follow
ing language, in connection with the i'm
position of the sacred pallium on Most
Rev. P. L. Chapelle, to-wit:
"The Colorado Catholic can not but
give voice to a regret not infrequently
expressed during the week at Santa Fe,
that man of such force of character and
superior intellectual attainments mean
ing Most Rev. P. L. Chapelle) should be
confined to such limited held: one
thing firmly 6xes itself upon visitor to
New Mexico and that is that to attempt
to build up the native population and Gle
vate it to a plane with the American char
scter is hopeless task. The Mexican,
in our opinion, is doomed and fated to
disappear with the Indian. An indolent
people, they seem to have neither the en-.
ergy of the Indian nor the intellectual
life of the Spaniard, these two natures
and characters having seemingly suffered
by the mixture and making result in
ferior in some respects to the Indian and
in all respects far inferior to the Span
lard. Hence, we do not believe 1t posi-
BILE for the church, even under the guild
ance of a will Us strong, or an intellect as
brilliant as Archbishop Chapelle's to
build up Mexican population that will
be able to hold its own with the Amerl-
cans of that territory. 1t does, therefore,
seem to us to be deeply regretted that
this master mind of the Metropolitan OF
this province should be confined to held
and people where and among whom the
good resulting is so comparatively less
than in other parts of the country where
the good would be measured at the maxi
num-"
Now, therefore, be it resolved,
First.-That the said editorial is COW
ardly, uncalled for and malicious assault
on our Spanish-American people, and
that the assertions of said Malone there
in contained are one and all utterly
false;
Second.-That said assault only en-
anates from a person unfamiliar with the
"native population" who has never asso
~ nf
habits or customs, and who, evidently, II
not prompted by the doctrine OF charity
to all men of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Third.-That maj orty of the popula
ton of New Mexico are Spanish-Amer'
cans and Roman Catholics, and that they
as such, spurn, in the most emphatic
! manner, the infamous calumny and malic
ious assault heaped upon them by sait
Malone, and qualify his conduct in thu
case as unworthy of a priest OF the churc'
. and gentleman;
Fourth.-That the Spanish American
of this territory, for over three centuries
have held their own against their enemie
under the most trying circumstances, II
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, AM
that they contributed their full quota tt
uphold the national government durini
