COL. J. FURIOSO WILSON.

Attorney General Wilson has got himself into more trouble. When he went before the Senate Committee on
 Territories, with an armload of charges and afidavits. to oppose the confirms tion of Governor McCord, he was asked by Senator Shoup, chairman of the committee, who it was he represented. Wilson's s reply was that ''Tom Parish, B. A. Fickas. Governor Franklin and
 other taxpayers had sent him and paid his expenses" Mir. Fickas, when he saw the dispatch, got mad, and lntl-
 mated that the doughty colonel was g
 little worse than mistaken when he represented that he (Fickas) either sent him or contributed a cent in any way toward paying the expenses of the mis- sion. On the contrary, MT. Fickas de- clared himself to be friendly to McCord and immediately wired strong en- dorsement for him. Then it was Colo nel Wilson's turn to get hot, and he waxed exceedingly wroth, charging his packers at home with deserting him the moment he set his face to the east l and started on his long pilgrimage to Washington city. He now declares he will publish exposures and do sundry other dire and dreadful things when he

Why?
TStar.l

The Pooenix Republican criticises Governor Franklin and General Wilson for their attempt to retain themselves in office by resorting to the most dis picable means to defeat Governor Me- Cord s confirmation, and intimates that their action is to enable them to con- tinue to pocket the salary of office. While this may be one of tho motives, there is another still greater, that IS protection for the violation of law, which they will he called upon to an- swer, as well as their pals, as soon as the administration is changed. The Republican states that the governors son is drawing a salary as private secre' tary and secretary Of the loan commits sion amounting to $l25 per month, and also a salary assistant U. s. attorney of $l50 per month. If this be so, 1t IS in clear violation of the federal law, It is also alleged that General Wilson is drawing compensation for two territor- ial offices, and mileage on account of the same while he rides on passes. If this be so, the attorney-general, who has been so anxious to find something upon which to prosecute some ex-of- ficial, may find himself a defendant in a criminal prosecution. Itis no wonder these political scavengers are fighting 80 hard against McCord, they are fight ing for self protection.

Corporations and Money.
Review of Reviews


 MT. Chapman was not the only re- calcitrant witness before that sena- torial committee. Mir. Havemeyer and MT. Searles, as the great men of the Sugar Trust, were asked to state the amounts of contributions made by the Trust for political purposes. They absolutely refused to answer the ques. tion. Their trial for this refusal has been postponed, but will probably be- gin in June. It may very likely be found, as their lawyers claim, that they cannot be punished, inasmuch as the question they refused to answer does not of necessity involve the digni- ty and privileges of the United States Senate. Nevertheless, We have reached an extremely unfortunate stage in our political life when great corporations can with impunity make secret gifts to the political funds of the opposing parties, and can defantly refuse, when on oath before committee of the Unit ed States Senate, to give the facts. It cannot be right thing in public ethics, nor ought it to he possible under the law, for corporation to contribute to the campaign funds of any rolitical party. It is worse rather than better for great corporation to contribute at the same time to the funds of opposing parties. Such conduct would seem to indicate purpose to poison all politi- cal and public life at the very sources. When great corporations like the Sugar Trust stand ready to pour out vast sums of money for purposes ofpolitical influ- ence, premium is at once placed upon the control of politics and legislation by bosses and machines. The exist ence of these secret funds supplied by corporations that can afford to pay fabulous amounts for favorable legisla- tion, causes great uneasiness among honest men. Hardly another situation so fraught with danger has arisen since the foundation of the Republic. It cannot be that rich men who will thus promote thelr selfish interest at the expense of the dignity and honor of the State, are entitled to be consid cred good citizens.

GOVERNOR OTERO.
The President Appoints a Gov.
 nor for New Mexico.


 On tue 2d st., President Mckinley sent to the senate the names of Hon. Miguel A. Otero and George H Wallace to be governor and secretary, respec- lively, of the Territory of New Mexico. The Albuquerque Democrat publishes the following editorial comment upon the nomination of Governor Otero:
 The gubernatorial fight which has been going on between the republican politicians in this territory since the election last fall and In Wash ington since the inaugura ton, -was settled yes terday by President Mckinley appointing Hon. Msguil A. Otero of Las Vegas, to be governor of New Mexico.
 The better element of the republican party in the territory is not at all surprised; they knew all along that the Santa Fe triumvirate's en- dorsement was equivalent to defeat; that the appointment when made would be another re- buke to Catron's forcing himself upon the party last fall: that something would be done to break up the losthsome dictatorship in the party and to prevent the footing of the territorial treasury as in past republican administrations.
 The republican press, of course, will fall in line and it's columns will be burdened for the next few weeks with congratulations to Mir OIero, but will hardly venture to state the real causes that placed him in the gubernatorial chair.
 From political point of view, had the sp- pointment been made at the dictaion of the Santa Fe bosses, it would have simply piled up the democratic majority in the territory, but in this we have plenty of votes to spare, and fur thermore we belong to the party that is of the people, and hail with pleasure an appointment that will give us a clean and economical gov ernment of territorial affairs.
 The Democrat wishes to congratulate the president. the people of New Mexico and Gov ernor Otero

What They Are and Why They Arc So
Called-S2O,OOO For Ono Copy.
AT the sale of the Ashburnham library
in London copy Of the Mazarin Biblo
brought the good sized sum of $40, 900.
The Mazarin Bible is so called because
copy of it was first discovered By De
Bure i'll the library of Cardinal Mazarin,
i'll Paris, about 1850. Its value for book
collectors lies i'll the fact that it is the
first book Of any magnitude printed
from movable types. 1t was issued by
Gutenberg mt Mainz, in 1905, and for
that reason Henry Stevens calls it tho
Gutenberg Bible. 1t is divided into two
volumes, the first containing 1874 and
tho second BIZ pages, each page consist
ing Of two columns The characters,
which are Gothic, are largo and hand
some and very much resemble manu-
script. Before tho discovery of this BIZ
be the so called Bamberg Bible of PTS
ter was generally regarded us tho first
printed book, but that honor is now
universally accorded to the former work.
According to DR.. Austin Allibone,
there are six known copies of tho Maza-
rim Bible on vellum, one of which is the
volume found i'll the Mazarin library.
The copies on vcllum, however, are later
than the copies on paper, u Of which
are known to be i'll existence. There is
vellum copy of the Bible i'll tho Brit
lsh museum and Il paper copy i'll the
Lenox library of this city Tho present
value of perfect copy of the Mazarin
Bible on paper is about SIS, 900, and
those on ypllurn oro valued nt about
$4,000. Practically. however, their
value is variable quantity, depending
OH what tho book collectors are willing
to give for them. 1t has long been n
matter of dispute whether the types en-
ployed i'll printing this Bible were me-
talIlc or wooden, but the question is
still undecided. AS Il specimen Of early
printing the work is magnificent, con
