LIFE AND TINE.

I watched the wild waves break IN
spray,
And dash upon the sand,
And, conquered in unequal fray,
Steal slowly from the land.
IT'S thus that time, in days and years,
Is thrust upon life's shore,
And, like the wild wave, disappears,
Subdued forevermore.
I watched a little wave grow bright
And gather crest of snow.
1t surged to shore, stately height,
Ere yet it was laid low.
A wavelet frail, it's thus with life!
But gaining force and pow'r
Till. all too soon, the noble strife
Is ended at deaths hour.

HEADS THE LIST.

Chaves county is beyond doubt in bet
ter financial condition and its affairs,
from tax collections to public schools,
are more nearly on sound business
basis than any other county in New Mex
leo. The Eddy Current explains it thus:
SIN Chaves county the Republican party
is very small factor, and has compare
lively little influence in election matters.
Chaves county is the banner Democratic
county of the territory and at the next
election will roll up a majority even
greater than she did at the last election.
At the last election Democracy labored
under many Disadvantages in this county;
it was Democracy against Pops and
'Repubs,' yet, despite all this, true old
Democracy came out victorious and elect
ed a set Of county officials that are an
honor to the people, the county and the
territory. In each case the officials elect.
ed have given perfect and universal salts
faction, and the Democratic party de-
serves the credit for their election"

SAVE OLD ApOLOCIST,

1t seems that the Albuquerque Citizen
still adhers to Its policy as an apologist
for crime. That paper-or rather some
lawyer in the employ of Folsom who has
access to its editorial columns-critizes
the New MEXICAN to the extent of a
column and half and makes this I'M
equivocal declarations:
"We have taken occns;on recently to
re.examine the record in Folsom's case,
in which there is nothing to Justify his
being proclaimed bank wrecker and
embezzler."
Comment is wholly unu ecessary beyond
the remark that the NEW MEXICAN would
be pleased to know what the widows and
orphans of New Mexico, the parents of
albuquerque school children, and the
hundreds of citizens from Ration to
Gallup, from Cerrillos to San Marcial,
who were feeced bv Folsom, think of the
Citizens declaration?

PRESS COMMENT.
Col. Mob. Timoney's Turn Down.

Pursuant to call, about twenty-seven
Saturday night for the purpose of effect
ing the organization of the Republican
league of Chaves county. In the absence
OF the TEN porary chairman, Col. 1. Fl. Ell
lott, Col. E. Mob. Timouey called the
meeting to order. In calling the meeting
to order the colonel stated that, inasnuch
RS several of the 'dyed in the wooW pat
rons of protection were necessarily ab
aent, attending the institution of the
Knights Templar commandery, it would
be well to go no further than to hear the
report Of the committee on constitution
and bylaws, and defer the selection of
officers until a subsequent meeting. This
suggestion seemed to take, as nothing
further WAS done with it, W. NJ. Reed
suggest the necessity for the selection
OF \ Temporary chairman to preside over
the meeting, and nominated R. 3. Hami-
ton for the place. MIR. Hamilton was
elected. On motion of Nathan Jaffa, j.
R. Slease was elected secretary. III.
Sparks moved that minutes Of last meet
ing be read-carried. Secretary Slease
began the reading, and We with to say

meeting, should 20 to writing school, or
Secretary Slease should GO to reading
school, for Of all the mon cked" up jobs
we ever heard, the reading of those min
utes took the cake. BY paying the clos
eat attention we kept the thread of the
former proceedings and had the satisfac-
ton OF learning that the secretary's re-
port and the Records account in all
things agreed. The minutes we're APP
proved. and as they showed that a com.
mittee had been appointed to draft con-
stitution and BY laws, Mr.. Sparks moved
that the, report of that committee be read,
carried. Col T,money, in the absence of
the chairman of that committee, read the
report "a whole, and it was passed upon
by sections. The first section of the con-
stitution was substantially:
'The name of this club shall be the
- Republican League Of Chaves
county, N. M" Col. Timoney paused to
state that two of the members Of the
committee had favored the christening
Of this league the VIM. Mckinley, while
the third member had opposed giving il
ary particular name. Mr.. Sparks said

BOFTOMLESS PIT WITH A BOTTO"
Rare Old Maryland Fable is Rudely Shat
tered BY an Investigation.


Belair. Nd, July 1.-THE Deep Hole
which forms part of the stream that
is know as Deer creek in Hartford coun-
ty, Nd, does not deserve to be distin-
guished by that title any longer. Ever
since the county was settled it was
firmly believed by the inhabitants to
be bottomless. The farmers had often
met there. and, tying their new pillow
lines together, let down a twenty-eight
pound weight into the water, but could
not find the bottom. Probably there
was an undercurrent which was strong
enough to carry the weight along with
it.
AT that time the hole contained a.
whirlpool about four feet In diameter,
with depression of two or three feet.
Fence rails. branches of trees, etc,
when thrown into the whirlpool dis
appeared, nor was ii ever observed
that they came up at any other point,
though there was place a short dis
lance down the creek where the water
appears to bubble up from underneath
Many of the neighborhood who could
swim had often Owed from the sur
rounding rocks and swan up under
the whirlpool, but all TO no purpose

a half Of the place, though he had

the Deep Hole was situated, and which
for fifteen years no wagon had ever
passed through, and the road over
