The Las Cruces Censor.

What has long been needed among the
newspapers of the territory of New Mex
leo is censor and critic. A kindly
hand that would tell the unenlightened
newspaper man when he has made mis-
takes. For the past two months this
want has been supplied. There came
from California a master journalist who
had achieved fame while connected with
the San Francisco Examiner by catching
bear. 1t is not noted in history that
he never did anything more in the news
paper line than to catch this bear, but
being bear catcher he was most emil
nently fitted to stir up the animals con
nected with the New Mexico papers. w.
ID. Duke, manager of the Hagin x Hearst
ranch, imported him, but soon turned
him loose. He drifted down to Las
Cruces and was put in charge of the
Democratic paper of that town and has
been busily engaged in sending out long
primer criticisms of the various territor-
ial newspapers that have been as amusing
as they were instructive. Last week it
came the turn of the Liberal to receive
reproof and correction. To show how
much it was needed we have figured on
the article and the criticism and present
the result of Critic Allan Kelley's labors.
The article criticised told of the efforts
that were being made to give Register
Bryan, of the land Office little trouble.
The Liberal said that Inspector SWINE
ford went to Las Cruces for the purpose
of checking up the Office" The Demo-
GRAFT says this is mistake; that Swine
ford came there to investigate one of the
officers of the land office, and stayed to
prefer charges against the other officer
Probably no Checking" was necessary.
The Liberal said that Mr.. Bryan "found
out" that charges had been preferred
against him. The Democrat says that q
copy of the inspectors report twas sent
to Bryan The Liberal said: CAS- far as
the Liberal knows Mr.. Bryan is good
Democrat and an honest man." The
Democrat corrects the Liberal again by
saying: "The Liberal is wrong in it's es-
innate of John d. Bryan's political and
personal characteristics" For the max
ing of these grievous mistakes the Lib
eral is extremely sorry. In regard to the
last statement corrected by the Las
Cruces censor we have nothing but his
word against Mr.. Bryan's long established
good reputation. While the critic may
be an authority on bears there is a bare
possibility he is not an authority on that
peculiar combination which is sometimes
met, ga good Democrat and an honest
man."-Lordsburg Liberal.

The New MEXICAN is much gratified tC
note the stand the territorial press, out

is general that the petty quarrels among

the work of this worthy and important

PRESS COMM ENTS.
Democratic Methods.

The Optic is reliably informed from
Santa Fe that, on Monday next, Judge
Hamilton, of the 9Th judicial district, will
appoint Hon. George j. Curry, of Picacho,
Lincoln county, clerk of the 9Th district
Mr.. Curry is to take office on July !, till
which time the present clerk is to act
The Optic also understands that j. H.
McCutchen, editor of the Socorro AID.
vertiser, is to be deputy clerk.
Both selections are good ones, but what
the Optic specially admires about this is
that the newspaper men get some recog-
milton in the Democratic party of New
Mexico. This is one of the sources of
strength of that party. W. B. Walton,
editor of the Deming Headlight, was ap-
pointed clerk of the Sd judicial district
tor of La Voz del Pueblo, is clerk of the
4th judicial district court, and mighty
soft snap he has of it. j. II. McCutcheon,
of the Socorro Advertiser, will be deputy
clerk of the 9Th judicial district court.
j. H. Crisis connection with the Santa Fe
Sun brought him the district attorneyship
of the lst judicial district.
Under Republican rule, the Optic is
bound to say, sone of the politicians who
did the least service for the party or the
territory got some of the latest plums,
especially of offices connected with the
federal court and tho surveyor generals
department. The Democrats know how
to order those things better; and, indeed,
Republican leaders and politicians had
better profit by this way of doing business
and do likewise in a couple of years from
now, when there will again be a Repub
lican administrations Vegas Optic.

A Western theorist thinks that il
all the farmers should agree not to
plant for one year the world would
starve. Could such a scheme be car
ried out the New York Sun believes it
might cause considerable discomfort
to Nations that depended for food
upon what they raise by cultivatln8
the soil, but there are vast inhabited
regions and millions of people who
live well and comfortably upon prodi-
gal nature, reaping what no man has
sown. 1t might be well for farmers
occasionally to combine in lessening
the acreage of certain crops, and
thereby keep we'll within the lines OF
a reasonable demand, for the purpose
of securing a fair return for their
labor, but whenever this has been at
tempted the agreement has been ig-
nored by a large majority OF those
who subscribed to it, the chances for
obtaining high prices being too great
q temptation to be resisted.

zen. De Cespede's Son Sails From
The Delaware.
Takes Well Trained Force, With
Rifles and GatIing Guns.

Another expedition has sailed to aid the
Cubans in their struggle for Independence.
Gen. Carlos Manuel DE Cespedes, the son of
the first President Of Cuba during the reyo-
luton Of 1868 TO 1875 is the leader.
Gen. Cespedes succeeded In sailing out OF
Wilmington, Del. in an ocean tug with GO
men. The tug steamed out to sea, and on
the following morning met the Mexican
schooner Tamples Of Tehuatucalo, commanded
by Captain Guadalupe Morales and delivered
her freight OF soldiers and explosives.
The TampicO is a twO-mastar OF 260 tons,
built at the Canary islands for Mexican own
ers. She carries crew of nine men. She
has been engaged in illibusteriug undertake
ings before. and several times has changed
her name and owners. The members of the
Ccspedrs expedition came to Wilmington
from NY. The names Of the principal persons
are: Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, Col Carlos
Aguirre, brother OF Jose Maria Aguirre,
lately released from Moro Castle, where
he had been held as a political prisoner;
Juan SANCHEZ. % Lieut.. Mario Nincente,
Lieut.. Enrique Maritime. Clodomiro Per-

MONROE DOCTRINE.
England to Join United States in
Enforcing 1t.
To BuiId the Nicaraguan Canal
Across the Isthmus.

The London Spectator says it believes that
thoughtful EngIishmen respect and approve
the essential principe Of the Monroe Doc
trine. and DO not desire TO challenge nor pre-
vent It's operation. We do not. it adds,
'want to add TO our possessions in America,
and are. therefore, willing to dispute when
the United States gives US notice
that she will cOndsider herself in
jured if we try to increase them. In the
mean time, we wish that the existing occasion
could be utilized for a public understanding
between H. and the United States relative to
the Monroe Doctrine, and We would like to
see a treaty concluded that would guarantee
the recognition Of that doctrine
The Sheffield Telegraph, the organ of Sir
Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett and the ultra Tories,
goes a step further. and makes the amazing
statement that report was current in Wash
ington that the British Government IS
desirOus of entering into an alliance with the
United States to enforce the doctrine against
other nations. The proposed alliance. ac-
cording TO the report, would include provi-
sion for the joint construction of the
Nicaragua Canal toy the allies. 1t
can be stated that nobody places any reliance
on this report. In fact, nothing has been
done in regard to Venezuela since Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain. the Secretary of State
for the Colonies, went to the Continent. He
is now at Gibraltar. Probably nothing will
be done in the matter until he returns to
London.
Prime Minister Salisbury is closely watch
ing the actions of Russia, and takes very
little interest in the Venezuelan dispute be-
yond giving his approval of Mr. Chamber
ian's conduct of the British side of the case.
Mr.. Chamberlain is uncommOnly tenacious of
purpose and is accustomed to having his own
way He does not love the United States
oyermucb. though his wife is an American,
but beyond his schemes for the expansion of
British commerce. his present hobby is the
development Of Africa. 1t is not likely that
he will entanIIe himself with the United
States.
