DEMORAL1z1NG POLITICS.

lit is a lamentable fact that partisan
politics has an extremely demoralizing
effect on the people. Men who are
charitable and honest as a rule fire.
quentIy become suspicious and dishon-
est when they become actively con-
nected with partisan politics. Men are
suspected and accused Of dishonesty
who have led the most upright lives.
and in many cases the accusations seem
warranted even to the most unpreju-
diced.
Mr.. Thomas Watson. who has hither-
to been regarded even by his opponents
as the embodiment Of honesty. integ-
rity and patriotism is now accused OF
being in the pay of the opposition and
many good and ordinarily charitable
people viii believe the charge
Senator Jones, who would probably
not take such an advantage himself if
he were placed in a position where he
could do so. intimates that in the Chi
cago. Records postal card voting
scheme cards addressed to silver voters
are not permitted to reach them
Prominent Populists and Democrats
in this state are suspected Of taking
Republican money in payment for their
efforts to defeat the Chicago ticket.
Many Of them probably have not a
blemish on their private lives.
Give a dog a bad name and hang
him" does not seem to apply in poll
tics
Even the candidates for the presi-
dency have not escaped the common
fate. Major Mckinley has been ac-
cused Of bartering away his manhood
and his principles in consideration OF
the liquidation Of his private indebted
ness, while Mr. Bryan has been charged
with being in the pay Of a silver syn
dieate.

FORGET THEIR OWN WOES,
British Workingmen Intercede for the
Oppressed Armenians.

London. Oct 13.-The czarina, previ-
Gus to leaving the Balmoral castle Tor
France received a delegation of labor
ers who called upon her to ask for
her support for the suffering Armen-
ians. The audience. however, was
granted on the condition that nothing
should be said about it until her maJes-
ty left England. The delegation, it now
appears, urged the czarina to do some
thing to stay the hand Of the sultan.
and her majesty replied that so far
she had fnterfered but little in politics
although she was ready to do anything
in her power to help bring about
crusade against the existing conditions
at Constantinople. adding.
"A more womanly or Christian act
ion than helping to alleviate the suf-
fering OF the people in Armenia is hard
ly conceivable. Rest assured of my
heartfelt interest in the cause you
have at heart"

MUNICIPAI. REBORN.

Philadelphia is proverbially slow but
If she is proportionately sure there is
hope for her in the future. While other
cities have been inaugurating and car
rying out reforms in the administration
of municipal affairs, it seems that The
City of Brotherly Love has not been
asleep.
The municipal league which held its
annual election of officers recently re-
ports a membership Of 5000 voters who
are pledged to use their best efforts to
divorce municipal government from
politics. There is probably no city in
the United States in which is afforded
a better feId for the operations Of such
an organization than Philadelphia
There is probably nowhere a worse
politician ridden community. A league
embracing a membership Of 5000 is a
good start but 1t should be increased to
$4,000
The work of rescuing the cities Of the
country from the domination of politics
moves slowly. but it is making progress
and like all reforms must succeed final
~. Every good citizen should help it
along. The elimination of politics from
municipal affairs means deceney.
cleanliness. and economy and is there
fore of interest to every tax payer and
every head Of a family
It is uphill work in the large cities of
the country but it should not be diff
cult in smaller cities like Topeka for in

RETURN oF MONEY.

In an editorial article devoted to the
business revival which has now become
so apparent that it cannot be ignored
the st. Louis be-Democrat says:
THE growth in the circulation is an
other favorable business factor. There
was an increase of a little more than
s48. 600. 900 in September in the amount
of money in the country outside of the
treasury. and very nearlys15, OO0, 600 of this
increase is in gold. OF course this does
not cover anything like the whole Of the
gold which was imported in September.
The actual amount received at the At
lantic ports and at San Francisco dur
ing the month was about s86. 000. 600 but
most of this went into the treasury.
which now has about s125 000. 600 in its
reserve. The increase in circulation be-
gan earlier than September. but the
gain for that month was far larger than
in any preceding four weeks this year.
For the fiscal year. which began with
July L, there has been an expansion in
circulation of something over S72. O00-
600"
In consideration OF the fact that the
Globe-Democrat along with other gold
standard organs and gold standard ora
tors has insisted all along that more
money was not needed in the country.
this is an important admission.It shows
how foolish it is to deny or cover up the
truth for the sake of obtaining a par
tisan advantage-If the Globe-Democrat
had been willing earlier to eclvnov,-1ef7e-a
Whist it is now forced to eoncede. it
would not be compelled to eat its own
words before election

singing from the fine print of Watts

GRANT COUNTY REPUBLICAN PLAT
FORM.

GRANT COUNTY REPUBLICAN PLAT |
FORM.
We, the Representative of the re-
publicans of the Grant county, in con-
vention assembled, adopt the follow
ing declaration of principles:
We affirm our allegiance to the re-
publican platform and policies as de-
clared in the platform adopted by the
Republican territorial convention, at
Socorro, in 1894.
We endorse and affirm the platform
adopted at st. Louis, by the National
Republican Convention, excepting the
financial plank thereof.
We believe now, as we did two
years ago, and we again "declare for
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at a ratio of 16 to l, independent
Of the concurrence of other 5nations."
We denounce the policy of the Gle
veland administration for its warfare
upon the industrial system of the
country, which gave steady employ
ment with fair remuneration to both
labor and capital, substituting disas-
ter for prosperity and distress for hap
piuess. And we demand the restora-
tion OF tariff duties sufficient to pro-
tect from the competition with pro-
ducts of underpaid foreign labor all
the products of American industry,
and especially the products of New
Mexico-wool, hides, cattle and lead
ores.
We are insistent in our demand for
statehood for New Mexico and urge
} the injustice of being longer held in a
condition Of vassalege and ruled by
, unprincipled importations of federal
officials, who are not in sympathy with
/ or biased in favor of our people.
We insist that there shall be a fail
: and Just administration of the pen
: sion office and that Juc pensoner shall
not be Disseminated against or forced
2 to unusual methods intended to delay
Y or defeat his efforts to obtain JUS
: recognition of his claim against th'
government.
: We point with pride to the fact tha
y legislators nominated and elected b,
D Grant county republicans, two year
: ago, worked and voted for the reten
: tion OF the fee bill and salaries TO
= county officers which the law theI
j provided for, and we point to the fac
:. that the democratic legislature, man
n members of which were placed in OF
: fee by the Illegal acts OF the secretar
a OF the territory, which acts we cor

n ments of Office holders. These emolu
S ments are now so large that it is in

IL.
Resolved, That the infamous cen-
duct Of the democratic secretary, in
overthrowing the will of the people as
expressed at the last election, when a
legislature republican in both Its
branches was elected; meets the Sc
yerest condemnation Of all good gov
ernment. Elections have become a
farce IL results are to be changed 10y "A
single appointed officer, and the fun
damental principles of republican gov
ernment, which are that the majority
shall rule, have hereby been entirely
subverted.
We are in favor of the public cole
bration Of Labor day, as OF other an.
nual holidays, and censure the;present
democratic governor for not issuing a
proclamation for its celebration on the
first day of September last.
The republican party stands for the
nationality Of the American govern
ment. This is a nation, and not q
league of states.
We believe it is the duty OF the gov
eminent, and 1t has the power, to en-
force its laws in all parts of the coun
try.
We are in favor of and demand the
immediate admission of New Mexico
as sovereign state, in as much as W.
now have all the qualifications requir
ed for the admission Of other states.
We commend our present delegat,
in congress, Hon. Thomas B. Catron
for his able efforts In behalf of the ad
mission of New Mexico as state, an,
other interests beneficial to the pee
pie of our territory.

We cali the attention OF the execu-
tive officers to the many murders and
rob0eries which have been committed
in the southern part Of the county,
and we demand that the sheriff make
some effort TO apprehend criminals in
that section OF the county.
We pledge to the people an honest
and economical administration Of the
affairs of the county and a strict COM
pliance with the letter of the law by
our officials, and opposition to all leg

party of Grant county lost valiant

ent advocate OF the true principles OF
republicanism, and who faithfully
served in the Legislative Council OF
New Mexico, representing Grant aud
Dona Ana counties, with credit to
himself and honor to the party and
the whole people; and Resolved, that
the republican party of Grant county
bear testimony to his worth as a mar
and citizen; his zeal and fairness as
partisian; his honesty and integrity
and exalted patriotism-worthy o
