SAN FRANCISCO, July 24-The city of
San Diego recently decided to undertake
the municipal ownership of the local sys-

for $1,000, coo were voted at a special elec-

THE suRvEYOR-CeNERALSHIP,

dozen or more of more or less worthy
or unworthy applicants are out after
the surveyor generalship under the new
administration, but in this, as in all cases
of the sort, only one can win, and the
New MEXICAN desires right now and here
to call attention to the fact that this Of
flee is of much more Importance to day
than ever before in the history of New
Mexico. We all know and appreciate
the work that has been done by the U. s.
court of private land claims, and in
designating n new surveyor-general re-
spect must be shown TO this august body
and its requirements. Under the law as
it now stands surveyor-general who
does not work in harmony with this court
can DO an immense amount of harm.
This fact should be taken into considera-
ton by citizens in their recommendation
of applicants for this important office.

A RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.

The NEW MEXICAN last evening had the
satisfaction of placing before the public
the ann ouncement fresh from Washing
ton that the United States supreme court
had affirmed the judgment of the supreme
court of New Mexico, sentencing Fan
CISCO Gonzales y Borrego, Antonio Con
zales Borrego, Lauriano Alarid and
Patricio Valencia to be hanged for the
cold blooded assassinati on of ex-Sheriff
Francisco Chavez in this city on the
night of May 80, 1892.
While no one familiar with the facts of
the case has ever entertained doubt of
the guilt Of the four condemned men
named, every method known to the law,
every technicality capable of causing de-
lay, has been exhausted by skillful coun-
sci to save their miserable necks from
the hangman's moose.
After an exceptionally protracted and
impartial preliminary hearing before
Judge Seeds, then of the New Mexico su-
preme court, their guilt was made SO
manifest that they we're bound over with
out bail; then they we're i'm partially tried
before jury of their peers, convicted of
murder in the first degree and sentenced
to be hanged by Judge Hamilton; their
interchangeable counsel, Messrs. Catron d
Spiess, next took an appeal TO the terri
torial supreme court; after patiently re-
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1896-12-22

viewing the proceedings III the district
court and fairly considering the numer-
GUS errors alleged IN favor of a new trial,
the supreme court of New Mexico af-
irmed the Judgment of the court below
and fixed new day for the execution of
the death sentence; then stay of execu-
tion was secured from Judge Brewer, of
the United States supreme court, pending
an appeal to the court of the last resort;
and now the latter tribunal, having
passed upon the alleged errors upon
which the appeal WAS founded and de-
cided the proceedings of the territorial
courts regular, has formally affirmed the
Judgment of the supreme court of New
Mexico.
This decision seems to be final and
nothing now apparently remains to be
done in the premises than for the terri
torial supreme to order the execution of
its sentence when its meets again in
uJouIHeu ieBuldl 0eseioh VI III "oi T.
The action of the United States supreme
court in this notable case is very graft
flying to the friends of law and order in
New Mexico. 1t is genuine triumph of
justice against great odds; it is sub
stautial and merited vlndication of the
territorial courts. The execution of the
righteous death sentence so long hang
ing over the heads of these cruel and
cowardly assassins will prove blessing
of inestimable value to New Mexico as a
whole and to Santa Fe county in par

THIRTY thousand bales of wool are ex-
pected to arrive in this country on the
next steamer from Australia. It is being
shipped in on account of the anticipation
of the adoption of wool tariff. But the
Australians need not have been in such
rush; our Republican legislators, even
with the deficit getting bigger every
month and with the plain evidence before
them of the urgent need of more revenue,
have calmly sat back and decided not
even to attempt to earn their wages till
they can perform their duty without hav-
ing to contest with difficulties, next spring.
This. from Republican exchange, is in
deed refreshing.

candidate for governor of this territory

Aside from the satisfaction of having an
able representative of the press of the
territory occupying so important ar Of

party recognition. He was the first to
suggest the name of Mr.. Mckinley for
the presidential nomination and worked
hard throughout the campaign for Re-
publican success in the territory. Bro.
Collier is said to be personally intimate
