The Late Notorious.

Some of the acts of the legislature are
worthy of commentator and some of
the members of the, legislature are de-
serving of much honor, but the majority
of the members of the legislature would
better quietly drop out of public life and
seek some employment for which they
are better fitted. 1t is notorious fact
that number of the members of the
legislature shamelessly bartered away
their votes and that these men were will
ing to vote for any measure, no matter
how inimlcal to the interests of the ter
ritory it might be, for few dollars.
Some of these bribe-takers masquerade as
Dem ocrats while others call themselves
Republicans.
Some of these wretches had the hardi-
hood to speak loftily of their honor in
the legislative halls when the majority
of the people within the sound of their
voices knew that they were miserable
bribe-takers! y i: \
There were men in both branches of
the legislature who went to Santa Fe
with honest intentions and who did all
in their power to secure the passage of
legislation which seemed to them to be
for the best interests of the territory.
They may have been mistaken in some
instances, but the mistakes of mon who
are honest in their intentions will hardly
be condemned by the honest citizens
of the territory. The honest members
of the legislature need have no fear of
coming before the people again, but the
boodlers might as we'll retire to private
life Of their own volition. They are
known and if they ever come out for
office they will be expesed.-Silver City

Mr.. HACERMAN'S GENEROSITY.

What New Mexico most needs now is
few more Hagermans. The very name
stands for progress. The other day the
legislature provided some aid for the
Roswell military school, then Mr.. Hager-
man courteously notified the managers
that he had forty acres of choice land
near Roswell that he wanted to donate
to the institution. A little later there
was talk of building an improved wagon
road across the country from White
Oaks to Roswell. Mr.. Hagerman "saw"
this, figured that it would cost $4,000, and
personally subscribed one-half the cash
necessary to carry it out. No wonder the
lower Pecos country's splendid resources
are attracting the attention of every part
of the west.

The NEW MEXICAN believes that, un-
less the question is settled and settled
right during the year 1895, an unequivo-
cal free silver coinage platform will be
the national Democracy's only hope for
success in 1896. Silver must not only be
the watchword in New Mexico, but
throughout the length and bredth of the
land. We might as we'll take sides on
this question now as later. We know
that the Albuquerque Dem ocrat has given
its "editorial Endorsement" to the anti
Democrat move in this matter. Now

was being converted into a coal barge

CHESS CHAMPIONS.
LAsker Has Completed the Greatest Record
Ever Made by Any Player.

L'er maze by Any Player.
Lasker. the new champion, has ev-
cry reason to plume himself ON this re-
suit, which is almost identical with the
result OF Steinitz versus Zukertort in
lss6-l0 to 5. with five draws Lasker
has beaten the man who had beaten all
the world for 80 years or more. He has
played in the past five years ls9 record
ed games in matches and tournaments.
OF which 80 were drawn and only II
lost 1t is enough to say that nobody
has ever shown such a record as that
Steinitz, in his matches and tourna-
ments, has played 259, Of which he drew
70 and lost 81. He has played against
stronger players, especially in tourna-
ments, and has played a more open and
hazardous game, content to be superior
without reckoning by how much.
No close comparison is possible be-
tween Lasker and Morphy, the less 80
because our fixed idea Of Morphy re-
calls him as youth Of most subtle and
fortunate imagination, which seemed to
picture not only the natural effects Of
his own moves, but the choices and mis-
approximations Of his antagonist His
style was above everything picturesque
and We are losing the picturesque in
chess or should be losing it il it were
not for the brilliant eccentrics Of the
amateur clubs. -Saturday Review.

QUITE A CHARACTER.
Death Of the Last slave Sold At Auction In
New Haven.


Mrs. Lois Triton. colored, died at
her home in this city Monday at the
age Of 90. She has long been q local
celebrity from the fact that she was the
last slave sold at public auction in this
city in 1925. The original papers Of
this transaction are in the possession Of
Ex-Governor 1ngersoll and show that
its purpose was to give her her freedom.
The sale was by the sheriff under an ex.
ecution issued on a former Judgment
against her owner, human goods and
chattels having been levied on to satisfy
an execution The sheriff's return is
dated March 10, 1928, and recites that
on the oth Of March, 1925, by virtue Of
the execution, he sold Lucy, the mother,
and Lois Triton, the daughter, as the
property Of the defendant, to Anthony
P. Sanford for $40. A deed Of manu-
mission from Mr.. Sanford accompanies
the documents.
Mrs Triton was born in Halifax on
Christmas eve, 1899, and visited this
city with family named Triton in
1920. 1t was from this family she 70
ceived the name Of Triton She re-
turned to Nova Scotia, but came to New
Haven again in 1924 or 1928, and after
being sold to Mr.. Sanford was given
her liberty. She has resided here ever
since and was a member Of Trinity
Episcopal church. Haven Special
