Santa Fe NeW Merican: The Las
Vegas OPTIc, for seventeen years the
leading republican newspaper of New
Mexico, is doing good work for the
democratic cause. THE OPTIc. after
studying the question, had no difficulty
IN reaching the conclusion that the tar
III was not the issue; that no matter
how the McHanna crowd worked their
alleged t'protection" dodge, no relief
could come to the wool growing and
other home industries until the inan-
cial question is settled SO that the poor
mans money. silver, is given equal
recognition with the rich mans money,
gold. The OPTIc Is right.

Bland Herald: Some newspaper
men haye convictions and are consci-
entious, and some lack these and add
corruption to their b~aseness. The
courageous action of the Las Vegas
OPTIC in yielding to its convictions
and refusing to support a candidate
against the interests OF the people,
could be followed, with great credit to
the publishers, by a number more OF
the New Mexico papers, which are
now holding put and would destroy all
the interests OF New Mexico for the
present pecuniary pittance to which
they are slaves.

La Belle Cresset: September Goth
ushered into existence the Las Vegas
Republican with the "Republican Co."
as editors. 1t comes into the field to
fill, il not q "long felt want" a very
pressing present want, on of
the popular silver current that is bear
ing 80 many of the leading republican
papers toward the light Of democracy.
1t don't state who is to be the sshead
responsible" but 1t may be that there
is a republican county central commit
tee in the bailiwick Of San Miguel.
The editors, in their introductory talk,
state that the paper "wIll at all times
be clean.cut republican, "and that they
s'do not believe in vilifying others who
are of different opinion, nor will mud
slingling' be INDUCED in or permitted !"
and then, on the same editorial page,
with the purest republican consistency,
In . rather malicious and personal
way, they pour it into the Las Vegas
Optic, a republican paper with strong
silver and Bryan leanings, and in gen.
eral rub on slime in a fairly elaborate
and artistic way for a new beginner.

White Oaks Eagle: Elsewhere, we
publish two editorials from the Las
Vegas OPTIC, which heretofore has
held the distinction of being the ablest,
most widely circulated and best known
republican newspaper in New Mexico.
Throughout a career of seventeen
years, THE Optic has persistently ad-
yocated republicanism and now claims
that the party management has left the
earlier teachings of its founders.
In the present campaign, as the edi-
tor says, it has "come to the parting Of
the ways" The articles Reproduced N
this paper will be found interesting
reading and we commend them to our
readers. And what a commentary they
offer upon the cours of some of the
brass-collar republicans we could name,
who but a few months ago were talk
ing free silver, but when the St. Louis
convention announced their political
principles for them, they closed their
mouths like CLANS. How manly is the
position of The Optic in its independ-
emit Americanism when compared with
the sycophants who have put on the
livery of the devil to please his servant,
Hanna-sometimes called the republi-
can party.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
John II. Brush Leaves for New York
First Local Games.

John 7. Brush left yesterday for New
York to attend the spring schedule meeting
Of the National Baseball League, which will
be in session Monday. He Will stop over a
day at Cincinnati. Besides the arrangement
OF a schedule, the League will consider some
proposed changes in the rules and also look
after the unfinished business from last
meeting. The differences between John NJ.
Ward and Manager Freedman. of New
York, will be one of the important matters
to come up for an airing. 1t Is said that
any change in rules adopted by the League
will in no wise operate against the pitcher.
There will be an effort 10 give the umpire
power to remove an obstreperous player
from the game instead of assessing a fine.
but it is hardly probable this reform pro-
posed by President Young will be carried
into effect, as too many of the managers
favor clinging to the system of fines.
The old contract with Spalding for fur
nishing the official ball has expired, and the
League will probably decide on a contract
at the New York meeting. John =. Day,
formerly president of the New York club,
was in Indianapolis yesterday trying to per-
suade Mr.. Brush to favor the Overman ball,
for the manufacturers of which Mr.. Day is
the representative.
Manager Watkin of the Indianapolis
club, was d~isappointedein not securing Wet
ter. the promising shorastop of the Cincin-
natl Shamrocks. He wired a friend in Gin
cinnati last Friday to sign Wetter, but the
friend was informed that President john
son, of the Western League, had signed
Wetter for Milwaukee. Watkins wrote
for the young player. The Milwaukee pa
pers. in commenting on the engagement of
Wetter for the club Of that city, say the
Milwaukee management knows nothing
about Wetter, but presumes he Il a good
player or Johnson would not have signed
him. Johnson's action in signing a player
apparently without the knowledge of the
Milwaukee folks is surprising, as it is not
seen wherein he has the authority.
Manager James Nolan, of the Galveston
CTex.) club, has written 10 Mr.. Watkins
asking for the loan of several young players
For the season. He will probably get them.
The first games the indianapolis club Will
NAV will be at Cincinnati about April s and
3. Cincinnati will probably play here the
10th and 18th.

Chicago and Cincinnati division, the most
Important division of the Big Four system.
MI: Bucnanan's jurisdiction on the Chicago
diVislon includes indianapolis, and Assistant
General Freight Agent Tillinghast is taking
good care or the business at the Chicago
ana northern end. In freight circles an opin-
er mad a better force 10 look after his
freight business than the present one. and
Wnen business revives this opinion will
doubtless be found TO be correct.
A special train. on which was Vice Presi-
dent Merrill and other officials OF the Chi
cago q Erie division of the Erie lines,
made a very fast run from HUNTINGTON.
lnd.,. 10 Chicago on Saturday. Considerable
of the distance was covered at a speed
or seventy miles an hour. When the train
came 10 a standstill in Chicago Vice Presi-
dent Merrill stepped up 10 the engineer and
congratulated him on the fine run he had
made, and especially that in making IL
ne had come 10 a dead stop Wherever there
was not an interlocking switch and con-
formed TO the rules of the company to the
letter. This is the more worthy of note
from the fact hat engineers making fast
not run strictly by the rules OF the COM
pany.
That association agreements are some
times a disadvantage Is aptly illustrated at
tween st. Louis and Cincinnati. The Balti-
more az OHIO Southwestern has a train leav-
ing st. Louis at 3 A. m, ana one leaving
Cincinnati at the same hour for the West.
These trains are convenient for theatrical
troupes, and the Baltimore & Ohio does not
have TO run a special, so IL can carry these
travellers at 2 cents per mile, or, should the
number be forty. they will be carried for
$2I2. while, TO carry the same party, its
competitors trains leave at such hours that
they must run a special, ard, under the
rules of the organization. to run such spe-
cial train, with the same number OF people.
they must charge $40. Owing TO this fact
the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern last
week carried ten theatrical companies be-
tween st. Louis and Cincinnati. Competing
lines are a good deal disturbed over the sit
uation, and Will demand some arrangement
By which they can run specials and not
charge more than 2cents per mile for men,
bers of the theatrical troupe, the same as
when carried on a regular train.

THE ODOR OF ONIONS.


The lesson at Mrs. Ewing's cooking class
yesterday was not about salads, but il was
somewhat in salad fashion, for it was
partly a lesson OF cooking one kind of a
vegetable, and while that vegetable was
boiling on the stove another vegetable was
set to cooking, and after that a third. and
by that time the first one was done, and
had TO be drained and dried before receiv-

IN AN OLD BOOKSHOP.
The Men and Women Who Met In Hatch
ards u Century Ago.

In "a recent life of John Hatchard, M
OLD London publisher, some interesting
glhmpscs are given of the men and women
who, \ century ago were in the habit II
lettering away the morning in the dingy
bookroom of the great publishing house in
Piccadilly.
Scott and Crabbo. Byron, Lamb and
Sydney Smith met there and gos>ipcd over
new books or fingered rare editions Of old
ones.
The Duke of Wellington was in the
habit of riding up 10 the shop and leaving
list of books which he wished TO buy,
the exact limit of price always being care
fully stated TO II penny. On one occasion
an auction of old books was in progress,
and pamphlet, the title of which attract
ed him, was started at 2 shillings. lie
beckoned to the shopman.
"Buy it for me carte blanche, he said
and rode away.
A day OF two later he called again, and
the pamphlet was handed TO him. 1t had
cost nearly G25.
The duke, who was saving of money,
changed countonance and then said qui-
city:
"You wcro right am enough OF a
soldier to submit to my own orders.
An old lady, sobcrly clad, but with
merry, twin6ling eyes, came often to the
shop and was regarded with awe by the
clerks and customers. Ii was Miss Han
nah More, who had lately written certain
weighty tragedies.
One day little boy 6 years Of age fol-
lowed by his nurse, entered and brought a
note from Miss More to the publisher, ask
ing him to credit her young friend Tom
for whatever books he might choose on her
account
Two years later the same Tom brought
another note, stating that he was to be
credited to the amount Of guincds, and
that as he already owned and had read all
the great epics she would suggest prose
works, Johnson's or lzaak Walton e
Lives"
Many years later there was great field
day at IIatchard's The third and fourth
volumes of Macaulay's History Of Eng
land were in the press, and subscriptions
were pouring in from the royal family,
cabinet ministers and bishops down TO
poor clerks. The author came into the
shop and was told how the book had
stirred the whole country. The publisher
had known him for many years but n GER
tain pleased flash of the eye startled his
memory.
"Why, you are our little friend Tom ~
he said.
Macaulay laughed and confessed TO be.

had long been a tradition OF the shop
