A Disgracef'ul Scene.

There was considerable feeling in
the Matney murder trial, and some
of those whom Mont Wade had hon
orably opposed, politically, were ac-
tive in an attempt to secure Matney's
acquittal. 1t is lamentable fact
that men (?) whom the people Of
Scott county have repeatedly honored
with office were leaders in such an
effort.
When Judge Noel concluded his ar
gument in behalf of Matney he was
applauded. Judge Riley raped for
order and threatened to fine the Of
tenders heavily if the act was re-
peated.
Is there county in the State that
has witnessed such conduct? A man
who pleads for a murderer is ap-
plaudcd in open court Have we lost
every trace of civilization? At this
rate, how long will it be until we
have regularly organized bands of
Bald -Knobbers. Ku-klux and White
Caps in our county?
Two more years of Joe Moore and
his crowd will find no man safe unless
he belongs to. and indorses the action
of that clique. Approach any man
who has been indicted within the
past five years, or who has committed
an offensc and escaped indictment,
and ask him for whom he will vote
for prosecuting attorney and, in nine
cases out OF ten, he will reply. Il am
under obligations to Mr.. Moore.

Buy and Sell for Cash.

In several towns in the Southeast
merchants, who have heretofore trans
acted an extensive credit business,
have adopted strictly cash basis,
This is rs it should BE-. To buy for
cash and sell for cash is profitable to
both the seller and purchaser. No
merchant can afford to sell goods on
as close a margin on time as for cash.
There is always risk, and for this
risk every credit purchaser must pay
his part.
In Charleston the credit system
has been abandoned by several large
firms, and they offer a reward of 5000
for the man who can buy on credit
from them. 1t would be a blessing
to both the farmers and merchants
of this county if such system could
be inaugurated. 1t would appear
awkward for while, but everything
would soon adjust itself to the new
method. and all would be happier.

Kiln Dried Potatoes.

While men are starving in some
sections of this country it is dis
tressing to learn that elsewhere food
is being burned because it is too
cheap to sell. Years ago, this was
the case with corn, now, it seems it
is so with potatoes. A special dis
patch from Penn Yam, New York,
says that farmer of Italy Hill is
disposing of his potato crop in novel
way. He begins by having good
bed of Goals in the fire box of his
coal stove, and then fills the feeders
with potatoes, which, as they decend
into the fire box, become kiln dried,
and it is claimed throw out an eX-
cellent heat, Potatoes are worth
about 50 ton and coal s5. At Can
adaigua, in the same State, there
was recently an auction sale of po-
tatoes in which large lot brought

Pitzer Gets Two Years.

The case of the State VS.. John
Pitzer. charged with a murderous as
sault upon Ben Tenkhotf, at Com
mercc. last winter, came up Wednes-
day and consumed the entire day.
Thursday morning the jury returned
q verdict of guilty and assessed his
punishment at two years in the peni-
tentiary.
1t seems that the trouble was the
result of a settlement between Tenk
hotf and Pitzer. Mr.. Tenkhoff is Il
merchant at Commerce and Pitzer
mortgaged his team to Tenkhoff to
secure the payment of goods pur-
chased. When payday came around
Pitzer could not pay and Tenkhoff
took the team in order to save him
self. Pitzcr did not make any un-
usual protest and Tenkhotf supposed
that all was satisfactory.
On the following Saturday evening
Mr.. Tenkhoff noticed that Pitzer and
u few of his associates would pass
his store and look in, as if to locate
him. Gibbs saloon was next door
to the store and the gang seemed to
make that their headquarters. Tenk-
hoff was cautious and did not leave
the store, fearing they were laying
for him. About ten O'Clock VIM.
Canham came along and invited
Tenkhoff to 60 over and take a
"night-cap." Mr.. Tenkhoff complied
with the request and as he was
standing at the bar pouring out
glass of gin he was struck over the
head with heavy saloon chair.
This is all Mr.. Tenkhoff remem'
bers, but when he regained conscious
ness he was in a critical condition
suffering with severe pains in his
head and side.
Pitzer escaped, but was located il
Jefferson county and brought bacl
by Constable Peter Schoen about two
months ago.
Judge Ballentine and VIM. Hunter
assisted in the prosecution and Hon
Marsh Arnold represented the de
| fence.

Prospects Good For Hog Raisers.

While at the stock yards recently,
our representative overheard con-
versation between several packing
house owners which in substance was
as follows: 1t will be almost i'm
possible for us to get the hogs we
want for our packing the coming
season, in order to be able to supply
our demands for packing house pro-
ducts, for this simple reason, the
hogs have been run out of the country
at an unusual rapid rate. Last
season on account of the shortness of
the corn crop, and now during the
last three months on account of the
generalprevalence of the swine plague
all marketable pigs have been ship
ped by the farmers to avoid loss
through the cholera; hence the out
look is bright for the man who has
the pigs to market the coming two
seasons at least.
Judging by the above we cannot
help but advise our friends to hold
onto their porkers, and multiply their
herds as fast as lays in their power
to do so. There can be no mistake
made now in raising lot of pigs; as
a general rule not one third of the
crop is raised in ordinary years, ant
a much smaller percent when the
price for hogs is low, but by present
outlooks the porker is too valuable
to be neglected for moment ant
we predict that a great many heard:
will get some extra attention from
now on.-Davenport Advocate.

The West Gets Nothing.

Our national congress seems to
legislate only in the interest of the
favored East. The West is to get
nothing-although we are expected
to produce everything. Every little
crossroads industry Of the East is
protected but what protection
have we of the West? Every enter
prise of the East, either public or
private, is favored by legislation,
while we of the West must continue
to feed the cow that gives the milk
for our Eastern friends.
A comparatively small amount of
money has been coming this way in
the nature of appropriations for the
improvement of our rivers and water
ways. While this was only a small
matter, yet it led our people to
hope for something more, and that
the authorities at Washington were
in good faith.
Now comes the news that the ap.
preparations for the improvements OF
our rivers have been so cut down that
no work of material Importance car
be done. When it is considered that
little, beyond the improvements OF
rivers, is done for the West, we
must stop to think whether or not
we are part of this great nation
except to produce and pay heavy taxes
| and tariffs

A Common Error.

There seems to be an idea among
the people that when man is in
dicted for murder in the first degree
he must either be acquitted or hung.
This idea is erroneous and only holds
good under certain circumstances.
Suppose Bill Jones is assassinated
while quietly resting at his homo
and suspicion rests on Dick Smith
and he is charged with the offense.
Under such circumstances he iseither
guilty of murder in its highestdegree
or he is not guilty at all. But if
Jones and Smith are engaged in an
alteration or war of words, and
Smith kills Jones, then the finding
may be for murder inthe first, second
or third degree, mapslsughte
acquittal, asohelg

GEN. NICOLAS PINO,

Gen. Nicolas Pine, whose mortal re-
mains were laid at rest in the village
cemetery at Galisteo yesterday, was a
notable character of type that is grad
ually becoming extinct in New Mexi,o.
He was of that brave and chivalrous class
who fought the frontiers battles in early
days and lived to long enjoy the fruits of
a well-spent life. Gen. Pine was in his
77th year. He had long been an invalid
and his death was not unexpected yet the
brief announcement to that effect which
appeared in these columns on Saturday
caused genuine sorrow in nine-tsnths of
the homes in Santa Fe county. In his
early life Gen. Pine was celebrated In
dian fighter and many thrilling adven-
ture had he with the Apaches and Nava-
joes. He was always a man of large
means and as charitable and kind as he
was brave. Many poor boy he helped
to get start in life. He held many pub
lie offices of trust and responsibility and
therein acquitted himself as an honorable
and prudent man who had at heart the
welfare of the community. Peace be
with him. The NEW MEXICAN joins with
his sons, Messrs. Ambrosio and Facundo
Pine, and other members of the family
and friends in sincerely mourning his un-
timely death. The funeral services yes
terday we're largely attended by people
from Santa Fe and other points in the
county.
