The Last Previous Execution.

The Last Previous Execution.
Prior to this eventtul day Santa Fe has
not witnessed legal hanging since Sep
TENDER, 1860, when one Rogers was OK
ecuted over in the arroyo east of San
Rosario chapel for the cold-blooded muir
der of teamster named Marcelino Sc
blallos. This crime was committed on
Christmas, 1859, in the store of Joseph
Hersch on the corner now occupied by
Cartwright. Rogers was then employed
as an engineer in Hersch's -four mill at
the south end of the block on Water
street. He had been drinking and was
ugly that morning, and when he walked
into the store he had pistol and said
that he was going to kill Mr.. Hersch or
Surveyor William White. Mr.. Hersch
got out Of the way, but the teamster who
had interfered in behalf of his employer
was shot down like a dog. Rogers was
arrested and Jailed, made his escape from
custody and was for some time q fugitive
from Justice In Colorado. But he was
finally captured, brought back, tried,
convicted and hanged as above recorded.

CONVICTED AND SENTENCED.
In the light of such facts as are recited
above no honest jury could have arrived
at any other verdic. than that of guilty Of
murder in the first degree against Jesus
Vialpando and Feliciano Chavez. Such
a verdict was rendered on March 30, and
on the 18th day of April they were duly
sentenced to be hanged by Judge Laugh
lin. The case was appealed to the terri
torial supreme court, and, after carefully
reviewing the record and hearing argu-
ment in the premises, that tribunal af-
firmed the Judgment of the district court
and assigned to the sheriff of Santa Fee
county the solemn duty of hanging the
condemned men by the neck until dead,
on the 18th day of November, 1895, be-
tween the hours of 6 and 10 O'Clock in
the morning. The death warrant was
signed by the governor on November A.

The Murdered Man-Hts Family.

Tomas Martinez was an intelligent and
industrious young man of most exemplary
habits, who naturally enjoyed the respect
and confidence of large circle of friends
and acquaintance. At the time he was
cruelty assassinated he WAS about 80 years
old. He was born and brought up in
Santa Fe, and his father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. Lorenzo Martinez, are still liy-
ing at the family home in this city. His
four uncles, Messrs. Teodoro, Romulo,
Donaciano and Jose R. Martinez, and his
four brothers and one sister, Pablo, Adj
laido, Francisco, Maximiliano and Mont
ca, are all living and are well and favora-
bly, known here. All these deeply mourned
his loss, but those most bitterly bereaved
by his untimely death were his estimable
young wife and four little children, three
girls and boy. The widow is daughter
of Pablo and sister of J. T. Sandoval
and is living with her father and mother
in this city. The oldest child is 8 years
old and the youngest was born four days
after it's father was murdered.

Now wait and hear the Demo-
cratic papers al over the country
saddle the responsibility for the
failure of Congress to answer the
demands of the people, upon the
Republican party. This, however,
will not prevent the people in the
next election, as in the last, from
saddling the burden on the Demo.
cratic pack mule. There is latent
sense of justice in the minds of the
people and when it is invoked it is
generally evoked. The Democratic
party found out this to their cost
last November and they will be
the same old lesson two
years from that date.

1t has been popularity Of the
Congress just closed that the most
damaging facts adduced against
the Democratic party came from
the managers Of the party business
on the floors of the several cham
bers. This was particularly notice
able in the Senate, where the an
tagOnism of certain senators to the
Presidential policy brought out so
much of the true inwardness Of
the administration. Between the
attacks Of German and Hill and
others OF that political kidney the
President must in more than one
instance have felt like praying to
be relieved from his political
household.

The City of Mexico is overrun

and the papers OF the city are max
ing a righteous kick against this
use Of the streets, to the discOm-
future and annoyance of pedestri-
ans. San Antonio has the same
evil to complain Of in some quar-
tiers, but this nuisance is as moth
ing to that which pedestrians in
wet weather have to suffer from
those who seems to think that the
crosswalks were made to transact
business on. The way that some
of these unconscious nuisances will
meet and stand on the sidewalks
and crosswalks, talking and COM
polling every one who passes to
turn out in the wet or mud or
stand aside till others pass, is a
caution to ordinary cheek. Turn
to the right and give half of the
road is the true law Of every high.

CONGRESS ADJoURNS.

Congress Is no more. The abor-
ton, that will go down to history
as the Fifty-third Congress Of the
United States, winked out at noon
today and its record is a thing of
the past. 1t was conspicuous for
three things:
First, for its total disagreement
with the President on all questions
of public policy, Notwithstanding
the President and an overwhelm-
ing majority in Congress were of
the same political faith.
Second, for the radical differences
Of opinion on all questions Of
finance and tariff among the DEM
Ocratic members OF both houses,
who at best could only agree to
differ, and did not always do that.
Third, the intense bitterness Of
feeling between the Democratic
partisans of the President and his
Democratic antagonists, who lost
no opportunity to arraign his pol
icy and attack his administration.
1t was Congress whose last act,
adjournment, was it's best.
The two years that it has been in
existence have witnessed the
strangest fluctuations in national
finance, the widest perturbation in
the money market, the most pro-
nounced uncertainty in business
circles and the queerest change Of
base on the part of Congress itself,
as regards tariff, that the history Of
congressional transactions in this
country affords. The industrial
affairs Of the country have been in
a constant condition OF unrest ow-
ing to the incompetency Of Con-
gress to legislate along the lines Of
the country's necessities; it's for
eign affairs have been managed on
the principle Of surrendering every
thing to the enemies of American
institutions and policies land, it's in
com potency to deal with any great
question at home or abroad has been
demonstrated at every stage of
it's proceedings. Its closing hours
have seen the failure Of the most
important legislative work Of the
session, leaving the questions Of
currency unsettled and, defeating
the movement for United States
control over Nicaragua canal and
Hawaiian cable. 1t may not be
strictly just to hold Congress re-
sponsible for the un-American
policy of the administration in its
antagonism to the recognition of
the Hawaiian Republic, neither
is it necessary, as Congress has
sins enough of it's own to answer
for to damn it in the American
mind for full generation.
