Few Timely Political Pointers.

In the Las Cruces Independently Dem
ocrat at hand this morning Editor Allen
Kelly says ''adios" to the denizens of
Dona Ana county. He steps down and
ont gracefully. Kelly's writings are al
ways entertaining, however much they
may sometimes fall short in prudence, and
in this instance he go squarely hits the
nail on the head as to make his obserya.
tions worth reproduction. He says:
'Some explanation of my reasons for
retiring is due to the readers of the paper,
and in giving it shall be candid and
probably somewhat disagreeabe.
primarily, it is impossible for man
of strong convictions and aggressive dis;
position IN debate to take any part in the
politics of this community without get
ting into an philosophical state of
mind and unpleasant personal relations
with half of his reighbors. In most
communities, men may disagree in poll
tics and remain upon amicable terms. In
Las Cruces, political disagreement or DIFF
ference of opinion is Synonymous with
personal amin osity, and political dis
,ussion is nothing but quarrel. Long
exposure to such conditions is demoraliZ-
ing. If anybody doubts that, let him
look at the indurated politicians of this
town and then say if he finds them admir-
able in character and conduct and al
together lovely in disposition.
II have had enough of this Internal
foolishness. 1t is not politics, and i. l.
not worth any rational human beings at
tention. When q mans time and attten-
tion are absorbed perforce by the bicker-
ings, quarrels and faction fights Of the
people with whom he comes in contact
daily, he can not give much thonght to
things that are worth while, and he is 10
danger Of degeneratng to the mental
level of the political filibuster.
"An editor should try to entertain his
readers and put before them information
that may be useful, instructive and ra-
tionally interesting, but when his eEyir-
onment is an Intellectual desert per-
petually swept by a sandstorm of per-
sonal politics, and the only music he
hears is the rattlesnake buzz OF the fac
tions, he may he forgiven for failure to
carry out that program. He may not be
forgiven by himself for remaining very
long within such sphere of influence,
however.
81 trust that this explanation may be
deemed sufficient. 1t will be perceived
that my motives are not altruistic at oil,

NATIONAL POLITICS.


Westinghouse Reeds eupport-
ers have by no means given up the fight.
Joe Manley, who is managing Mr.. Reeds
Gov. H. B. Cleaves, of Maine:
Hon. II. r. Cleaves, Governor of Maine:
My Dear MISUNDERSTANDING elections
held to-day, there have been but 375 dele
gates elected to the Republican national
convention. There are thirty.six contest
ed cases, which are not given to any can
didate, because it is unfair to assume how
these cases will be decided either by tho
national committee or the convention. OF
the 375 delegates elected, l54 are for Nc
Kinley, provided you concede him twenty
six from Indiana and eighteen from Min
nesota. The rest are divided as follows
Morton, GA; Quay, 10; Cullom, 10; Allison,
A; Reed, 4S. Mr.. Reed will gain from now
on until the convention. Yours truly,
-. Fl. MANLEY."
1t will be seen from his letter that Mr..
Manley does not concede that the contest
ed delegations can be rightfnllY claimed
for Mckinley, as they have been in Gen.
Grosvenors estimates. All of these con-
tests, however, are in the southern states.
There has been more comforting by the
friends of Reed and Allison. The with
drawal of Oushman x. Davis, made neces-
sary by the Mckinley capture of the Min
nesota convention, was a severe blow to
the other candidates. II was felt more
than any other thing that has happened.
Friends of Allison aud Reed expressed
the fear that Senator Cullom would be
forced to take similar action just before
the Illinois convention meets. The Nc
Kin]ey men were confidently claiming
that if Senator Cnllom did not withdraw
they would elect four delegates at-large
in spite of him.
Mr.. Reed in conversation with friends
admitted that Mckinley WAS obtaining
much more strength in the north than he
had expected, but he said the situation
in the south had been misrepresented in
the dispatches. and Mckinley had not the
votes there which were being claimed for
him.
A very close alliance is growing be,
tween Reed and Allison, as the result of
these recent evidences of Mckinley
strength.

NO PRECEDENT IN HISTORY
Report Of Dedicatory Services of
Chickamauga and Chattanooga
National Park.
FAMOUS BATTLE FIELDS PRESERVED
Survivors of Both Contending Forces
Participated with Enthusiasm
Pending Sleeping Car Bill
Amended.

Washington, March 27.--Representative
Grosvenor, of Ohio, has submitted to the
house the report of the joint committee
representing congress on the dedicatory
exercises of the Chickamauga and Chat
tanooga national park in September last.
The report says that the event proved to
be without precedent in the history of
wars and one which would not be pos
sihle in any other nation than our own,
for there we're gathered in enthusiastic
comradeship the most distinguished sur
viv1ng leaders of both sides and many
thousands of the rank and file of the once
contending forces. The park iteelf is
without a precedent, being an impartial
reconstruction OF the great battle field by
the victorious side, in which every re-
speot has been shown to both great and
small and the utmost impartiality has
been observed in marking the line Of bat
tleand preserving upon the monuments
and tablets an accurate history of every
organization engaged upon the extended
fields which the immense park embraces.
The report says that the practical en-
thusiasm with which the city of Chat
tanooga entered upon the work in CO.
operation with the national authorities in
preparing for the dedication of the park
merits high notice.
WILL IT PASS
Congressman John B. Corliss has radi-
cally amended his sleeping and parlor car
bill. The original bin provided not only
for placing sleeping car companies under
the interstate commerce commission, but
for scale of speciicrates based on dis
tance travelled; penalty for porters re-
ceiving tips and for making up the upper
berths when only the lower is sold. The
amended bill still provides for Interstate
commerce commission control of the
com panies, but all of the other sections
are eliminated except that an added Sec
tion provides for difference of rs per
cent in upper and lower berth rates. The
opponents of the measure will be given a
final hearing April a.
