Probably the first individual in New
Mexico to receive a friendly letter
from Postmaster General Gary, the
new head Of that department, at least
SO far as heard from, Is Major
Bogsrdus, Of Wallace, N. NJ, the town
whose p~ostofice name is changed with
every national election.
When Major Bogardus was promoted
to a %lieutenancy in The Powell Legion
OF Maryland Volunteers, he became in.
timately associated with the loyal
citizens Of Baltimore, among whom
was the junior member OF the firm Of
James Gary q Co., who was an ardent
union nan When the legion WAS or
dered to reinforce the army Of The
Shenandoah, In the month Of May, 1862,
he was present to say s'good bye" to
the officers, upon thsir departure. for
Harpsr's Ferry.
Upon learning that Mr.. Gary had
been appointed to a place ia President
McKinley's cabinet. Major Bogardus
sent him a letter of congratulation and
about six hours after Mr.. Gary had
been officially announced for the post
generalship, he received a letter
acknowledgment and thanks from
Washington City.

THn IAs VMoAs GRANT.

"fN"M y ""NHFAR "*|VN"AN ~
Said q pilIzon Of this city Ia writing
from Washington City to rur Orrgo.
his letter having been publIahed. last
evening
Il seems that now delays are likely 10 re-
tard progress Ia the Las Vegas grant case.
The retirement from ofloe OF the secretary
OF the interior aud commissioner Of the
land Office, Is likely to abete tho case. 30
tho work already done Will have 10 DO re-
peated.
In this connection, 1t may be said
again, as II has been SAID many times
over, that the ownersLip,oftbe Las Vegas
grant must be settled, before 1t will be
possible for this city to enter upon
such a career Of prosperity as her nat
ural advantages entitle her TO expect.
With tho grant title as 1t now 10, Las
Vegas is as though she were surround
ed by an absolutely barren desert Of
nearly 600. 900 acres in extent. The
lands around this city are anything hut
barren, or OF the character OF . desert.
but they might Just as we'll be, so far
as Is concerned their ability TO admin
lister to the growth and development OF
the city.
What Las Vegas is she owes to her
situation at the gateway Of the Terri
tory, so that nearly the whole COM
MERGE Of New Mexico pays tribute to
her but her immediate surroundings
contribute nothing to the general re-
salt.
The dullest mind can surely picture
to itself what q difference there would
be If titles to the grant were as are
titles to city property. Were the lat
ter the case, reservoirs would be con-
structed. acequias would be located,
lands would be cultivated, and athrlfty,
prosperous, farming community would
grow up around the city, almost as it
were by magic. Anyone can under
stand what a difference this would
make in the growth and prosperity of
Las Vegas, with such q community
here selling their produce and here
purchasing their supplies.
Such q day a never come till the
title to the grant has been settled (; for
till that has been secured, no one
claiming IN interest in the grant will
undertake to improve 1t, and nc one
desiring to purchase land close to the
city will even think for a moment OF
investing. Instead of having near the
city one such home as that at Romero
vile, with the grant title settled such
bones would be counted by the humid
dreds, within the limits of the grant,
while other homes, less elegant but no
less prosperous and happy, would be
by the thousands. Then
push to an early settlement this
much-vexed question, no matter whom
it benefits or whom it Injuries.

ONE Of the greatest aids you can
give your newspaper is your job print
ing. 1t you do not feel able to run an
advertisement, you surely can afford to
give the newspaper your cards, dodg-
ers, bill-heads, letter heads and en-
velopes to print. The newspaper man
needs it, and it helps him pay his
printers for setting up the 1,001 free
notices he gives you and the town; but
don't 60 and give it to any office that
can give you no such return-is ex-
pending neither money, time nor brains
in trying to help you build up the city.
The time may come when a newspaper
can live simply upon the revenue from
advertising and subscription, but no
ordinary newspaper in any ordinary
city can exist without the auxiliary sup.
port derived from job printing
therefore, if you want a good news
paper-one that can still further help !
you and the city, give 1t your job
printing.

THE Poems AT SANTA FEE.

Many persons think that, in order tc
enjoy perfect liberty, it is only neces
sary to be free from the control o.
other people. II no one exacts obedi
ence, regulates their lives, or inter.
feres with their will, they triumphantly
call themselves free. Yet, there 10 o
bondage, which is not the less slavish,
because they forge the chains them
selves. There are tyrants that hold
men in ~unfinching servitude, and
burdens under which they bend, with
out thinking it possible to rebel against
the one or to cast OF the other.
Perhaps n has political life, with
high hopes and bright prospects. He
counts upon his friends, he undertakes
large enterprises, and binds himself by
many promises. Presently, compiled.
tions arise; obstacles impede his path;
friends grow cool, and enemies spring
up; his aims seem to recede from him,
even his motives become clouded
care o~vershadows him, and he a no
longer control it; his freedom Is gone
One is extravagant, and yielding to his
inclination or vanity, he spends firstiup
to his income, then a little beyond 1t,
then incurs liabilities which he cannot
meet, and then care has gained a SUI
premacy over him that he can in no
way throw off.
Another gives way to some tempta-
ton, and wrecks his own lie and the
happiness fall that aze.dear to him, and
the care that guilt brings, sits forever
at his board. One is immersed in de.
and takes the cares that properly
belong to many others upon his should.
until they weigh him to the earth;
another BY neglecting to hold the
threads Of life in az orderly way, be-
comes entangled In a web Of care,
which be struggles in vain to ex-
tricate himself.
Thus, in numerous ways, do men
give up the liberty they profess to
prize, and submit to a tyranny that fet-
ters the soul, that palsies the energies,
that weakens the will. Who that has
writhed under such a despotism would
'ot escape from it with gladness, even
II the loss of much that he holds dearP
Yet. like all tyranny, it must cost q
to break the yoke.

TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH 49, 1897
ST. pArRICK's DAY.

Tomorrow will be "St. Patrlck's
day in the normal" day. the mere
mention Of which, is q source Of pleas
uts to a large class Of our population
our Irish citizens. The day brings the
return OF an event venerated and apos-
trophized by Irishmen for nearly 1000
years-the birth Of s.. Patrick, the
patron saint OF Ireland. In years
agone, they used to celebrate the event
BY q .walkn with music, banners, etc.,
but all that has been done away with,
public demonstrations having been
abandoned wholly, in these parts at
least. There will, as usual, be services
In the church, and the anniversary will
receive due attention and be COM
memorated in a manner worthy OF the
gallant race, who, under all their mis-
fortunes, wherever scattered by the
tides of fate or by whatever changing
circumstances surrounded, keep green
within their hearts, like the emblematic
shamrock which they wear, the memory
of their native isle and Of the heroic
apostle who first built upon its shores
the altars Of a Christian civilization.
Nothing is more touching than an
Irishman's love for the land OF his
birth; nothing more grandly devotional
than his generation of its patron saint
nothing more commendable than the
zeal with which he treasures up the
patriotic associations that bind him to
both. Whether st. Patrick performed
miracles or not, he was a most re-
markable man, and Ireland has well
set him apart as one of lis most promi-
nent b%enefactors.
He is, by some. regarded as an apos-
tie, and as being Of more than human
excellence, sent from God, but in this
there always has been and ever will be
a broad difference Of opinion without
any attempt or the part of those who
assume the negative of the position to
detract from his fair fame, or dis
pute bis high character as a public
reformer.
After o lapse of nearly 1900 years
since his bones were consigned to the
dust of the country in which he acted
SO conspicuous a part, 1t would be idle
to say that his memory has not been
well preserved, for his name is en-
shrlned IN the heart of every true Irish
man wherever he may be, and will
continue to be held in grateful remem-
brance as long as that peculiar people
preserve their sacred records and their
national identity.

But the mere appointment OF the commls-

apparition of unsound money is to be ldid.
On the contrary, there are signs that the
work in it's inception may be hlndeIeu py
the very influences which are supposed 10
have the greatest interest in it, ana are

And that is where, we believe, they
are disnOsed to interfere unconsciously
with the reform they have set out TO ac-
complish. The commission which IS TO De

Gates that the committee should nave al

The Importance of the work which a
committee such as outlined can accom-
plish is not generally appreciated Proper

doubt that it can take steps to secure the
country to some extent against the repet1-
ton of the campaign of 1896 The fight

serve and the greenback, or, more to the
point. the weakness of these two factors
In our currency, invited successful attack.
BY removing them altogether the coming
fight might be greatly simplifa5ed; For IN in
stance if Congress could decide on the re-
funding of the greenback and the entire
national debt into low interest-bearing
bonds. to be used as the basis of new
circulation, with provisions for expansion
redemption and other necessary features,
leaving the treasury free to play it's real
part in our financial life, the issue in 1900
would not involve the country to the point
of panic, as it did last year.
