many of the aristocratic young snobs and
cads in the German army have shown a
tendency to do lately in theil relations to
civilians. Hanging was the proper pen
atty for the offense, and that punishment
would have been of good example to his
fellow officers. The sentence of the first
court-martial, imprisonment for four
years in q fortress and dismissal from the
army, was set aside by the emperor. Won
Bruzewitz has now been sentenced, on a
second trial, to simple imprisonment for
three years and twenty days. But the
German people themselves are response.
BILE for the insolent and murderous pro.
pensities of these young ruffians in uni.
forms. They are too supine and apollo
getic. They ought to shoot more and be

SHERMAN'S SUCCESSOR.

Senator John Sherman will soon re-
sign the distinguished position which he
now holds, in order that he may become
secretary of state in the cabinet of Presi.

ing his successor rests with Gov. Bush.
nell, who can hardly be in doubt as to the
man named for this position by a combi'
nation of events. The man so named is
Hon. Marcus A. Hanna, who stands be-
fore the country ind his party, as the
closest political friend of President Nc
Kiuley, and the ardent choice of Senator
Sherman himself. A series of splendid
victories have fixed the attention of the
whole world upon this mighty man-one
of the greatest figures in public life to-
day. Long before his name became ma
tional, the Republicans of Ohio had come
to look upon this great organizer as
one of their most liberal, faithful, earnest
and trusted leaders, and in the wider field
of national politics, be has added mater
tally to record already brilliant at
home. His wide political experience, his
large business knowledge and we'll ma
tured Judgment, his peerless talent as q
Republican organizer and leader, pre-
eminently fit him as John Sherman sue
cessor in the senate.

operation In the matter of n desired pro-
tectlve tariff on wool, and such other aid
in securing national legislation as shall
put this industry TO its greatest produc-
tive power. In stock raising there was a
perceptible change for the better during
the last six months of the year Just closed,
aud the early days of 1897 find the bust
ness so promising as to induce general
revival oil along the line, and the invest
ment of large sums of money upon a
basis Of sure return, made possible by
years of experience. There is little danger
of repetition of the serious mistakes of
past years, such as overlooking the
ranges, etc. In some sections prices have
increased so per cent during the past
year, and on the whole there Is most en-
couraging advance all around. The erec-
tion of several large smelters, and the
opening of new mines in various sections
of the territory bespeak for this industry
a prosperous year. Silver mines, of
course, will not be extensively worked
under present conditions, but some ex-
ceptioual strikes have been made in gold
of late, and the chances are in favor of
the opening up of several valuable lead
properties. TO its list of varied produc-
tions, New Mexico will this year add sugar,
the experimental stages in this industry
having been successfully passed In the
Pecos valley, a region especially we'll
adapted to the growth of the sugar beet.
Other sections of the territory are prepar-
ing to follow Eddy in the promotion of
this production, which has never failed to
yield ample returns under proper climatic
conditions. The many Inquiries concern
ing New Mexico from all parts of the
world, but more especially from the
poor soil districts of the east, where the
farmer eats mp during long severe win
ter more than he can dig from an unfruit-
ful soil during the summer, argue well for
the prospective colonization of some of
our fertile and we'll watered tracts, now
unoccupied. On the whole New Mexico
has every reason to congratulate herself
upon the outlook for the new year.

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY,

The fourth annual banquet of the Re-
publican Editorial association of New
York, was held in the dining room of the
Union League club of Brooklyn, one
night recently, at which Hon. Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew was the chief speaker.
Among the good things Mr.. Depew said:
"As Republican editors, we ought to be
particularly happy tonight. We have
won a great victory. We have done
more, we have averted a frightful
disaster. II is not in the power of the
Imagination to picture what might have
happened in the tension of the financial
and industrial world if confidence had re-
ceived the shock of the determination of
the United States to embark upon the
unknown sea of deprecated and de-
based currency.
"The victory has been won; but the
mill and the factory and the furnace
stop and start, and stop and start again,
like impatient thoroughbreds at the COM
mencement of race. The country's
cries, where is your prosperitys When
are the good times to begin? The bankrupt
firm and insolyent, railroad, the people
riseinstantly to their former conditions OF
better ones. Confidence is not the growth
of night, it is the creation of hundreds
OF tributary elements which ultimately
does succeed in enabling it to accomplish
its beneficient work. But already we can
feel the good times. We have $325,OOO,-
600 to our credit as against the rest of
the world. 1t only needs confidence IN
the stability of legislation and admins
tration for the next four years for that
golden current to flow into new enter
prises, giving new employment and stimu-
lation to every industry of farm, mine
and factory"

"The two wings of the two old parties
will, in my judgment, be united in the
next campaign" said Senator Palmer in
Washington, recently. "The sound
money Democrats and sound money Re-
publicans will form one party and silver
Democrats and silver Republicans
another" Before Senator Palmer's opin-
ion is crystalized into an actuality, the
sound money Dem oorats will have to re-
verse their ideas on thu tariff question.
The sound money Republicans believe
that charity begins at home. American
workingmen ana producers must stand
first chance in our industries and home
markets,

bill now before congress which il
likely to give rise to good deal of dis.
cussion, defines the act of blacklsting
mea who have taken part in strikes as "a
conspiracy against the United States.
This bill, which was introduced by Con-
gresham Lorimer, of Illinois, has in view
the object of preventing large corpora
tions, and particularly railroad COM
paniea, from blacklisting the names of
strikers, thus deprivipg them of the
chance to make a living. Strikers who
have been engaged in lawless acts, in con-
neotion with strike, lockout, or other
conflict between capital and labor, are
excluded from the benefits of this act.
which according to report, is likely to
become law. On the other hand it af-
firms the right of every wage Garner to
leave his situation whenever it pleases
him to do so, either by himself or in
company with others.
There is no question as to the Justice
of such measure. A strike is no doubt
very frequently an act of folly, resulting
in damage to the community at large, but
that is no reason why striker should
thereafter be debarred from obtaining
work by corporate Influenza species
of vindictive punishment as prejudicial
to public welfare, as anything that could
be imagined. 1t is also extremely dan.
geroue, for the men thus shut out from
all avenues of employment at the trades
in which they are skilled, are forced to
join the rapidly increasing army of the
unemployed--a standing menace to the
general peace and public welfare.
A folly is not crime, and should not
be punished as such. If a striker en-.
cages in criminal act, there are laws
provided for his punishment, and no
corporation has the right to take that
punishment into its own hands. A COM
bination on the part of great corpora
lions, to exclude from employment men
who have simply exercised the right of
quitting work, is so pernicious in prisci-
pie and dangerous IN effect, as TO require
The strong hand of the law In preventing
The exercise of irresponsible power.

To Contest an Election.

John Porter is over from Oxford to-
day ia consultation with attorneys re-
lative to contrasting George ]. Hess
election to the Office Of mayor of Ok.
ford. Porter was elected mayor over
Hess at the recent election by three
votes but the election judges and
clerks counted him out purposely and
a6OTeboard, for the reason that POr-
ter's candidacy was sprung as a Joke.
Hess was the only candidate III the
field for mayer. The day OF the cleo
tiOn some Of the practical jOkers of
Oxford concluded that it would be
great fun to run Porter, who is a
wOodchOpper, against Hess. The ma
jority of the voters fell in with the
scheme and the result was that Porter
was elected by three votes.
The election judges and clerks saw
the mistake that had been made and
they began to look around for some
means whereby they could throw the
election to Hess. The ballot; were
gone over and 10 several Instances his
name was found to have been written
John H. Porter" He was counted
out by theijudges and clerks declaring
those ballots to be defective. IL now
develops that POrter's middle initial
is H., and he has decided to contest
Hess election. The matter is mixed
up considerably and Porter seems to
be in a position to cause somebody a
