Guadalupe ils peculiarly interesting
and runs In this way:
On the ninth or twelfth day OF De-
cember. in the year 1881, Juan Diego
converted Indian, was going up
Tepeyac, one of the mountains near
the City of Mexico. Passing the spot
where chalybeate spring is now, he
heard the sound Of sweet music and
beheid a rainbow, from which sudden
~ appeared to him a beautiful lady
who told him that she was the blessed
virgin and that he must go 10 their
bishop and inform him of what he
had seen and heard. This the Indian
did, but he made NO impression upon
the bishop. Four times the virgin APP
peared to Diego and always in the
same spot. and at the last meeting she
cured iliRl of serious malady by the
water of the chalybeate spring, which
suddenly bursl up under her feet.
She then told the Indian TO 20 up on
the mountain near the top and gather
some roses, which he must take to
the bishop with the message THAT they
came from her and that she desired
the bishop to build a church on the
mounfain and worship her there As
the virgin of Guadalupe"
Nothing but pines and shrub grew
on the mountain, as Juan Diego Knew

mounted the stairs until they came to
the top platform i'll the belfry, and
there, in the semi darkness, like a
figure Of marble they saw the body,
which they afterwards learned to be
that of Blanche Lamont. She lay up
on the platform, stark naked, not
stitch of clothing on her, not a ring
upon her fingers. She lay on her back,
with her feet together and her hands
crossed over the breast. Behind her

fraud that it but serves to add to the

citizens have long held the Albuquerque
Republican organ and Its pusillauimous
following among TIE weekly Republican
press.
What a sad commentary upon journal
istic decency.
To-day we find the Citizen engaged in
not only misrepresenting ID every petty
manner possible the motives of the legis-
lative assemblymen, characterizing them
as "thieves," "cut-throats" and "thugs'
and imputing to their every act some
unholy and selfish purpose, but, con
the side" as it we're, the scheme is to
create the impression that most of the
leading men of the Democratic party are
ready to strangle one another in order to

promote certain alleged schemes of more
or less individual benefit.
The NEW MEXICAN has too much faith
in the good sense of the rank and file of
the Democratic party to believe that such
efforts on the part of the common enemy
can meet with any very great success, and
as for the people at large it may, on the
principle of taking thief to catch a
thief" be pardoned for quoting the Las
Vegas Optic, Republican, in order to
show the reputation which the Citizen
enjoys, even among the better class of its
party followers, for journalistic truth and
decency. Here's what the Optic says:
"The Citizen has long since established
reputation for being the most unrelia-
BILE paper in the territory in its editorial
utterances. 1t has the failing of all weak
minds of small caliber, in that it mistakes
falsehood for argument, SANDER for logic
and extreme utterances for discussion.
Not being able to grasp any subject and
deal with it on its merits it attempts to
atone for its argumentative imbecillty by
an affectation of extreme passion. All
who differ from it are thieves, liars,
scoundrels and the like; while the more
completely it can lie about an opponent
the more it plumes itself upon having
done good service to the cause it has
espoused."
The New MEXICAN, now that the battle
is opened, will keep tab on the Citizen
for the coming few weeks, and it will
undertake to show its readers from time
to time that the above estimate of its
character is the only correct one.
