ABOUT EX-GOVERNORS.
Five Former Executives of New Mex
leo Are Livsn.-Ait OF Them Are
Respected and Prosperous
Peasant Visitors This
Morning.

Mrs. Dimmick seems satisfactorily to
have disposed of the problem, "What
should we do with DOR ex-presidepts?"
SO far AS the five living ex-goyernors
of New Mexico are concerned. the esti-
mable gentlemen seem quite competent
TO solve the problem for themselves.
Ex-Governor Lewis Wallace has at
tanned enduring fame land more money
than he knows what to do WITH as the
author of "The Fair God" ben Hur,"
aud "The Prince of India;" Ex-Governor
William g. Ritch is q prosperous etock
grower and ranchman in southern New
Mexico; ex- Governor Lionel A. Sheldon
ranks high as lawyer, journalist and
politician at Los Angeles; Ex-Governor
Edmund G. Ross is most usefully EN-
ployed in disseminating timely literature
ia the interest of New Mexico as score
tary of the bureau of immigration and is
| likely soon to create sensation in la.
tional politics by the publication of his
forthcoming history of the Andrew John
son impeachment trial from the stand
point of one of the senatorial partici
pants therein; Ex-Governor L. Bradford
Prince divides his time into three equa
parts, one being devoted to improving
and identifying his Espanola fruit farm
another to writing for the eastern pres
on subjects relating to New Mexico ant
the great west, and the third to champion
ing the righteous cause of the whit
metal on the lecture platform.
All are doing very we'll, thank you, an
all look back with justl6able pride an
pleasure to the years they presided as chic
magistrates over historic New Mexico an
occupied the executive apartments il
the famous governors palace at Santa F,
an aided interest being given thereto b
the fact that within its ancient adob
walls was written the immortal story Q
Ben Hur."
The writing of the foregoing bits G
personal history was suggested by til
fact that Ex-Governor Ross. ex Governo
Prince and Governor Thornton were a
in the NEW MEXICAN editorial den at on
time this morning, exchanging pleasan
ries and comparing views touching Gu
rent topics.

OFFICIAL RECOGNITION.
True Significance Of the Action Of the

Fort Marcy Reserve.

Local public sentiment is quite unani-

ment in congress to grant the Fort
Marcy military reservation to the Ameri-
can Invalid Aid Society Of Boston, for
the purpose of establishing national
san1tarium, is bound to prove of i'm
mense ben. fit to Santa Fe. Some had
hoped that the property would be grant
ed to the city and could be used for pro
noting home manufacturing interests;
others had an idea that it would make a
model national home for disabled war
veterans, but even these feel that the
property will be put to good uses by the
New England promoters of national
sanitarium, and the hope is very general.

Hon. Amado Chaves is to day sending

of maize has proved so profitable to the
farmers. The editor of the New MEXICAN
also by way of experiment is to-day
planting an acre to Kaffir corn out on the
Buena Vista Iona, and Capt. Day, of the
water company, has just secured seed
sufficient to put in fifty acres at the water

wonderful yield of fodder and grain on
acant water supply and is good alike for
man and beast these experiments will be
watched BY the farming community in
general with much interest.

You have the consolation of know
ing that you have turned loose four
very guilty men," doubt not he be-
lieved the men guilty-possibly he be-
lieved the jury had perjured them
selves. Granting the latter conclusion,
did not the judge besmirch his ermine
in this unwise speech evince the
dictator rather than the Judge?
This case brings up to me just bit
OF history. In the spring Of 1878, one
Simon Rayland, a negro, committed
an assault on young white woman
in Edgecombe county. Together with
Others l aided in the prOsecution-was
principal witness. He was tried and
convicted in Edgecombe; sought and
obtained new trial. The case was re-
moved to Martin county, and was
heard before Judge Moore, in August
1876; was convicted and executed
though he was ably defended by the
late Judge Gillian, at Tarboro. who
was assisted in the defense by LAWYER
Waldo, Of Hamilton. Some ten years
after the final trial 1 met Mr.. W. .dO
and he, while referring to the case
said to me that my testimony convict
ed Rayland; that Judgs Moore be-
level him to be an innocent man till
Rayland confessed his guilt, which he
did before his execution.
Man is fallible. No one need be to(
presumptive. Let US hope that Judge
Graham will see and confess his error
The responsibilities of jurors are very
great. This jury may have erred
though l doubt not they followed theil
honest convictions, and in their doing
SO they did their duty to the State
they did honor to themselves.

THE CONCLUSION.

We give this week the last of the
series of articles written by DR.. Cy.
Thompson in connection with his
famous remark. 1t sometimes proves
unfortunate for a man to be more
intelligent than the mass of people
among whom he lives. When he
ventured the assertion that the
Church was on the side of human
slavery, he was attacked by the
Democratic press. THAT pressdidn't
know nor did it care whether DR..
Thompson was right or not. 1t
thought it could injure DR.. Thomp-
son by appealing to the prejudice
and ignorance of a certain element
OF people who are more "reverent'
than intelligent. and it sought to in.
jure him and the Alliance by such an
appeal to that class of people. The
spectacle of Democratic paper
rushing to the rescue" of the Church
must have made "the angels weep
Such an illustration of contemplate
hypocrisy has never before beer
shown in this State. DR.. Thompson
has based his letters on indisputablt
historical facts and has clearly vim
Dictated his utterance. The Demo
cratic press has assumed to assert
his letters to be piece of "fiction, ,
but we notice that not a single one
OF these papers has printed line o.
what he has said. They feared t.
! present the FACTS in connection
with their abuse, in this they addet
the most despicable cowardice t.
their contemplate hypocrisy.

tobacco came from Eve counties be-
sides Wake. This bears testimony
to the wide reputation the Raleigh

EDITORIAL COMMENT,

Oh! what desperately weak means
the monopolists employ when they
want to answer the living truth :.
Not long since they thought It smart
to talk of PETERS beard" and
simpsons socks" This was the
oply reply they could make to an ar
gAment in favor of the truth. Now
Tillman has spok~n. Do they reply
to what he II! Not much. They
try to laugh at the manner in which
he waved his hand. They talked
about HOW he stood. They mention
"clown," "circus" and the like.
But they vince under the mighty
and eternal truth which CLOVIS and
blazes in every line of Senator Till
mans remarkable speech-the most
remarkable and powerful one ever
leveled at the scoundrels and trait
ors who have infested the American
Congress.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-02-06

Likewise, while . few spluttering
goldbug editors are making . most
asinine spectacle of themselves by
calling Tillman q fool, the legisla-
ture OF South Carolina puts up reso-
lutions endorsing him, and letters
and kilograms came from all over
the country commenting him for
what he said and praying God for q
few more Tillmans. The "splutter-
hcation" of these contemplate gold
hireling pimps and hellions, as op-
posed to the opinion of the great
people, is quite much like the old
woman's broom as opposed to the
sea.
