ALLAN H MAoDoNA

In ORDER that our readers may
have no misgivings as to the mo-
tIves which have prompted the
various articles in this paper dur
ing the past few weeks, regarding
the political irregularities of
Grant County, we desire to state
that all public matters in future
will be handled with the same
degree of irmness and honesty.
1t is not the purpose of this paper
to malign or abuse any public
man, nc matter what his political
faith may be, so long as he deals
justly and honestly with the peo-
pie TO whom he is responsible;
when he ceases to do this we shall
not spare our criticism. We have
been honest in all that we have
said, and as time advances we
shall say more. Our contempora-
ries, the Silver City Enterprise
and Deming Headlight, have no
doubt imagined that they were in
the midst of a heated controversy
with this paper, but the real facts
do not support such a theory, for
the reason hat they have been un-
able to successfully answer our
charges or defend their positions.
Hence there is no discussion and
the people are of one opinion, i. e.
that the SOUTHWEST SENTINEL
was justified on every point.

SANTA FE CORRESPONDENCE.

req. o. 90.
The democratic central commit
tee met on the 9th inst. and all
seemed to be harmony in its pro-
ceedings. The present chairman
was Endorsed, as the only thing
found against him was that Catron
had said he would have him de-
posed and run out of the Terrific
ry. The time was when Catron
ruled the Territory, and no one
dared antagonize him, but that
day is past and gone since his but
ton gang came to grief in Santa
Fe.
All signs seem to indicate that
the democrats will triumph in the
elections next fall, not only in the
Territory, but that they win elect
their President. Morrison seems
to be the man whose star is rising;
a hero of two wars, an honorable
man and a statesman.
The prize fights will not come
off in New Mexico. That was an
assured fact before congress pass
ed the law making prize fighting
a felony, as the Governor and U.
s. marshal were determined to
stop it and would have done so
and made no blow about it either.
The ladies of Santa Fe keep up
three literary societies that meet
weekly. They are not only liter
airy societies in name but are so in
fact. At every meeting an origi-
nal essay is read by some of the
members on a subject selected for
them. I have read essays in many
of the magazines of the day on
similar subjects, that for finished
style and depth of thought were
not near as good. The current
events of the day are also ably
discussed and declamations, read
ings, music and criticisms fill up
the two hours allotted to the time
of each meeting. How much
better such societies are for its
members than the old fashioned
way of talking over scandal and
indulging in idle talk. Every
town of any size might have SINH.
lar societies and greatly benefit
their members by encouraging
them to read and study subjects
which would greatly increase theiI
stock of knowledge.
Santa Fe is to have a visit from
Cardinal Satolli some time in the
near future. The occasion viii
probably bring together the great
est number of Catholic notablel
ever congregated west of the
Mississippi. Railroads will giv'
: cheap rates and every true Cath
: Ollie in the Territory, who can
should be here. The chances ar,
/, that another opportunity to see a
great a church dignitary here
5 will not happen for many years.
Query--Is there an instance o.
, record in the Territory where
{ man was turned out of Office by
? republican governor for the sol
, reason that he was corrupt?
! The famous case Of the u. s
We. Edgar M. Biggs will go to tn
d jury on Monday. This Is a Grim
inal case against Biggs for cuttin.
3 timber on government land Civ
suits for damages have been in
! stituted against Biggs. The Me-

The published statement in the
last issue of the Enterprise to the
effect that the editor of this paper
had rendered the support of the
SOUTHWEST SENTINEL to A. b.
Laird, for a consideration, during
the last campaign, is absolutely
false. If Mr.. Laird made the
statement imputed to him by the
Enterprise, he did SO for the pur-
pose of injuring me.

ON COMMERCIAL Rect.
A True story of an Inobtrusive Mud Hole
and an Impulsive Man.

Down on Commercial street yesterday a
little incident occurred showing how
some men will allow triiing things to
disturb them. A man was crossing the
street at point where there is well
developed mud hole. It is a very modest
and retiring mud hole. and while it at
tends strictly to business doesn't intrude
itself ON the notice Of the public, it rather
prefers to allow others to drop in now
and then quite informally.
At the time when the gentleme in
question followed messenger boy across
the street, the mud hole was in one of it's
most quiet moods, and very little IN evil
dence. The messenger boy gave one quick
spring and went safely over, the man
gave spring, and went under.
Down he went into the depths of the
mud hole. the MINCED snow, water and
mud flying about. and right here it was
that the naturally impulsive nature of
the man, his tendency TO let trifing
things withdraw his mind from higher
objects, was manifest. He wasn't injured
in the least, the mud was extremely soft
in fact, and uncomuonly yielding, but
when he got up and walked off he
scattered mud and detached bits of di S.
connected remarks for several blocks.

Snapped Off on Union Street.

Last night quite sensation was caused
on Union treet. About 9 O'Clock one
of the guy bolts attached to the pole
that supports the electric wires on Union
street, gave way, from some cause. and
tbs weight of wires piling on the top OF
the pole broke it short off. The extra
weight thrown upon the next POLE

for length of about 20 feet. To prevent
any damage the current was shut eff

some of the considerations that keep
the hope of immortality alive. l have
not dealt in argument. Indeed, it
seems to me wise and strong say
ing, Immortality is that doctrine in
which the splendor of the thing as
serted is proof sufficient OF the thing
which it asserts"
~ One thing is certain. This great
hope has always been cherished by
great souls. Cicero says: "There is,
l know not how, in the mind of men,
a certain presage, as it were, of fu-
ture existence; and this takes deepest
roots and is most discoverable in the
greatest geniuses and the most ex-
allied souls" And we may add, that
as life rises, the conviction deepens.
The better and nobler we become,
the more do we feel that life cannot
go utterly out. The more we live in
immortal things,-the great and good
and beautiful, and uplifting,-the
surer do we feel of our own immor-
tally.
(2) In view of this hope, let us ban
ish the specters that fear and super
stition have conjured around the
tomb. Let death be no longer paint
ed as a CHASTITY skeleton, but as
beautiful angel. No longer look upon
the grave as dark passage to a
world of night, but rather as the gar
landed gateway to eternal day. 1t
will not be worse, but better for every
soul further on. Away with visions of
demons and flames. Suffering there
will be for those who need it; but
only to purify. Our God is, indeed,
a consuming fire,-but fire that
purges away dross and refnes the
gold. He is consuming fire, be-
cause his name is Love. He will
burn up our sins and imperfections,
that he may at last present us blame
less, without spot or blemish, in the
light of his glory.
(3) Let us find in this hope, an
inspiration to do work. 1t was a wise
man who had inscribed on his tomb,
"Think on living" He best prepares
for the next world who best lives in
this world. Here the foundations
are laid. Here eternity is begun.
The apostle closes his great chapter
on Immortality with the exhortation:
Therefore, my beloved BRETHREN

view of the high hopes l have painted

UNCLE HENRY"

ONOuu anN n L.
Rev. HENRY HOLMES is a colored
Universalist minister. A Methodist
preacher several years, he did great
deal of Independent thinking. Re
suit: he became a Universalist and
one that glories in his faith. 1t is SO
beautiful to him as he goes scatter
ing its light Keep silent he cannot.
Conceal his joyfulness he cannot.
He sings the same song others have
sung: "a new heaven and a new
earth" His ecstacies have no bounds.
"Uncle Henry's" home is in Hender-
SOD, where all the people of all classes
knew and respect him. As daily
laborer he is paying for his little
home. While his wife and his daugh-
ter, bright school teacher, are not
Universalists, they are quick to de-
fend the faith when it is assailed.
Brother Holmes is in fellowship with
our General Convention, and an hon
or to our cause. Now we have three
good, earnest, capable consecrated
colored ministers. Write their names
and honor them-,Joseph Jordop,
Thomas Wise, Henry Holmes. Do
more; do more. Send to DR.. Rugg
or DR.. Demarest your contribution to
aid in the providential mission opened
to our church by these three provi-
dental men. The colored race needs
higher standard oflmorals than par
tialism has offered. Ours is away up.
1t will draw and lift this peculiar
race. God has sent us these men,
justas he sent US Murray, Ballou and
the heroes of their day-sent us Jor-
dan, Wise and Holmes, to begin the
work. Who is not glad? Who does
not rejoice? Then send money to aid
the missions at Norfolk and Suffolk;
send something to help this dear
old man. Brother Holmes goes out
into the country and breaches to the
few who will listen, mostly white
Universalists. But he las had no
assistance. A little money would pay
his fare to points where he could do
good among his people. A little aid
(sent through the General Conven-
tion) would enable him to spare more
time in ministerial work. He was
my most enthusiastic listener at the
six services held in the Court House.
He worked zealously to make the
meetings successful When he offered
prayer he lifted us up with his strong
and fervent faith. | have since won
dered and wondered what drew me to
him so strongly. Perhaps it was be-
cause he reminded me so much of
Harriet Beecher Stoves "Uncle
Tom" The last morning "Uncle
Henry" came over before daylight (I
had to take the early train and there
was a ministers meeting" We ate
together. and while feasting at Bro.
Wheatley's hospitable board, we
feasted on higher things. Who shall
say which loved his faith the most,
the white convert, the colored convert
or the General Missionary But
if | had medal to give it would go
to "Uncle Henry" Q. II. SHINN.
