The national democratic platform, as
finally adopted at Onicago, doesn't contain
SO much as a syllable about discriminating
particularly against the wool, hide, sheep,
cattle n other live stock interests OF the
south and west. win the demc cratic
journals who have stated otherwise be fair
enough to make the correctionY- LAS q
OPTIC.
We were astonished to find such a dis
creditable paragraph as the foregoing in
the editorial columns Of The OPTIC, for we
have heretofore credited the editor OF that
paper with rather more than ordinary
journalistic intelligence and honesty, but
IL he didn't know that the paragraph
quoted was false when he penned IL, he
was stupidity ignorant, and II he knew 1t
was false, he has written himself down as
q dishonest man VIII osc u%tterances are I'M
worthy OF credence. He may select which
ever horn OF this dilemma happens to suit
| him. -Neic Mexican.
Gov. Thornton's man Friday on the
New Mexican should at least know
enough about current politics TO know
that the tariff section vf the national
democratic platform WIS amended,
after the first rough drafts of it had
been wired to the country. As fnall,
adopted, it evadss the wool industry
and reads that such duties should be
made to bear equally throughout the
country and not discriminate as to
classes or sections. But here Is the
plank. Let 1t speak for itself:
We hold that tariff duties should be
levied solely for the purposes of evenue,
and that taxation should be limited by the
needs of the government, honestly and
economically administered. We denounce
as disturbing to business the republican
threat to restore the Mckinley law, which
has been twice condemned by the people in
national elections, aud which, enacted I'M
der the false plea of protection to home in
| dustry, proved a prolific breeder Of trusts
and monopol,es, enriching the few at the
expense of the many, restricted trade and
deprived the producers Of the great Ameri-
can staples of access to their natural mar
hats

VIZ are informed from San Diego,
California, that William Clendenin,
who, in 1891, was sentenced to serve
fourteen years in the San Quentin
p%enltentiary, for the attempted murder
of a former Las Vegas attorney, Judge
W. L. Pierce, now judge OF the su-
perior court, department three, at San
Diego, died in prison on the 4th of
July. Death was due to consumption.
Clendenin was a good prisoner, and
had reduced his time so that he had
only two years and five months to
serve. The crime he committed was
cold blooded. Judge Pierce had
awarded the care and custody of a
demented child OF the Clendenins to
the mother, and this was the cause OF
Clendenin's animosIty. He met Judge
Pierce on a street, one alter
noon, and deliberately fired a
bullet into the judges back, the ball
passing clear through his body. Only
an iron constitution brought the victim
through. Clendenin pleaded insanity.
but was convicted, and sentenced by
Judge Pnterbaugh. His ex-wife Is In
Arizona.

DEMOCRACY'S LOGICAL CANDI-
DATE.


If the new democratic party had the
real courage Of its convictions, now
that it has swallowed the major portion
of the Omaha populistic platform, i
would endorse Hon. Theodore B. Mills,
of Las Vegas, by making him its can-
didate for delegate, or by nominating
Col. E. t. Webber, Of Santa Fe, for
that highly honorable and lucrative po-
%sition. Such would be the natural
course of the new democracy, but, In
asmuch as their platform is only q po-
%litical maneuver by which they seek TO
mask their piracy, neither Col. Mills
nor Col. Weber will receive the sup
pert Of those who will control the
affairs OF democratic populism. What
the apostles of the new democracy need
is a mouther Of words, an endorser CT
anarchy, a man who can shrek 10 fran
tic denunciation his opposition to law
and order; an i~conoclast and phrase
maker, who can play upon the preju-
dices and discomfort of the masses.
Such a disciple of disorder has not yet
come to the front in New Mexico's
democracy. New policies produce new
material, and there is no doubt that the
demo-pop convention this fall will pro-
duce a bowling Jacobin, whose vio-
lence and viruleuce of speech will make
even Col. Weber regret that he ever
said: "Revolution and riot, rapine and
hunger, are the only remedies heroic
enough for existing conditions!"

CLASH BETWEEN DELAWARE
AND NEW JERSEY AUTHORI-
TIES OVER THE TANK STEAMER
ALLEGHENY.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the admiralty case of John Miles
against the British steamship Ale
gheny. to recover salvage for raising
the vessel in Delaware bay.
The vessel lay bottom upward for at
least a year, and all efforts TO raise
her proved futile until Miles succeeded
in the work After the vessel had been
righted, Marshal Lanna.1 seized the
boat and had her towed to Camden
dock because there was no suitable
place on the Delaware side. Last week
Judge Kirkpatrick made an order for
the sale Of the vessel. but a question
OF Jurisdiction was raised by Marshal
Lannan. He claimed that i.he boat
was seized in the State of delaware
and therefore the court Of New Jersey
had no dealing in the matter.
Judge Wales will confer with Judge
Kirkpatrick as to the jurisdiction of
the case.
Fees of about $1,000 in the case will
go either to Marshal Lannan or Mar
shal Pfeiffer. of New Jersey, according
to the decision on the jurisdiction
question.
Marshal Lannan has had watch
man employed on the vessel ever sin ce
she has been at the Jersey dock, and
some one will have him to pay.
