beholds Felix is clerk of the court.
Necessarily to some extent he has what
plenty of lawyers strive to get--the ear
Of the fountain of Justice. Be his intiu-
ence good or bad, he is supposed to have
influence and the fact that he is clerk is
demonstration sufficient to many that he
has plenty. Then he controls the board
of county commissioners, at least he has
that reputation and who will say him nay.
Then he is collector of taxes and in these
hard times a little eniency from that
source oomplishes wonders. Again he
edits and owns the Voc del Pueblo, which
is powerful factor among the native peo-
pie. 1t always pays to read that paper.

pie.
What is it that has made this man the
power that he ID? There are many an.
swers and few that are satisfactory.
Some are plausible. The writer believes
that he is the outgrowth of the conditions
that have obtained in this county for the
past ten years. What was the power
which disrupted the Republican party IN
San Miguel county? Was it desire on
the part of the people to cast down the
partyf No. Rather was it the desire on
the part of one faction to destroy the
other. Felix was smooth enough to see
this and com bined with one faction and
practically destroyed it, and the follow
ing campaign combined against the other
faction and it went the way of all flesh as
we'll. What is the resultf The master
hand rakes in the political jack pot and
instead of sitting in just to fill up the
game now runs little game of his own
and gets the entire "rake off,"
| It is almost certain that Don Felix was
behind the movement to run no straigh /
Republican ticket in the CITY election.
Those who believe in free coinage at lG
to may care to see its opponents turned
down at every throw, but the old political
maxim that "you are either with US or
you are against us" applies with peculiar
force just now. Felix had best put up
some other scheme. He is only playing
his long suit, and that is a rule that is
seldom overlooked. Two years may
make some changes, however. The COM
ing of good times to New Mexico, which
is to be hoped for and its possibility not
cried down, may offset the heart burnings
of silver's defeat, but you can rest as
sured of one thing, and that is that Re-
publican organization will be maintained
even if there are none but members OF
the committee who will vote to sustain
it.
Socially, Las Vegas has been dull

Easter hat and it's natural concomitant
the Easter dress and wrap, so joyful tc

nounced evidence, and after that the
deluge of shopkeepers bills.

THE e. pAso CoLlECToRsHIp.

A Washington dispatch announces that
Captain Moses Dillon, of Ell Paso, is to
be appointed collector of customs of the
Ell Paso collection district. 1t is said
that the Republicans of Texas have given
him their united support. This say so
does not make it so, however, as it is a
fact that many Republicans of western
Texas have Endorsed Colonel Philip
Mothersill for the position. No mistake
could possibly be made by the appoint
ment of Colonel Mothersill. We presume
Captain Dillon is very good man and
all that. But what is the use of appoint
ing Texas Republican, when q New
Mexico Republican, worthy in all re-.
spects, and who could do the Republican
party great deal of good within the
next four years, can be appointed. As q
matter of recognition of New Mexico Re-
publicans, as good politics and in order
to appoint the best man, the president
and the secretary of the treasury should
select Colonel Mothersill. New Mexico
forms the largest portion of the Ell Paso
collection district; it has never had a
collector. The Republicans of New Mex
loo and many prominent citizens of Ell
Paso are strongly supporting and indors-
lug Colonel Mothersill. Therefore, should
the administration heed these demands
and appoint him to the position for
which he ia strongly Endorsed, and for
which he is remarkably we'll fitted.

REPRESENTATIVE WALKER of Massa.
chusetts, was both uugracious and un-
just in opposing the appropriation from
the federal treasury, in aid of the flood
sufferers. The proposition to help the
sufferers was not only humane, it was
was legal and proper. The Mississippi
river is natural artery of commerce
under the control of the government, and
congress is not open to charge of un'
lawful conduct, when it appropriates
government funds for tie aid of people
who have been ruined from an overflow
of this great water way. President Nc
Kinley took this rational view of the
matter, and with the single exception of
Mr.. Walker, every senator and represen-
tative concurred in his opinion. The
generous impulse which prompted the
president to urge congress to act in this
matter was sustained by reason and by
precedent. Similar appropriations have
been made in other cases, and it was nc
more an Infringement of constitutional
authority than the improvement of Mr.
Walkers own Boston harbor would be
and there havs been ? goodrJnapy appro
priations for this latter purpose.

A better qualified man for such posi-.

THE plan Of the Northern Pacific and
the great Northern to form close traffic
feated by reason of the recent Supreme
court decision in the Transmissouri Traf-
fic association case. The attempt to
consolidate these two companies failed
sometime ago on account of state law
which prohibits competing companies
from cooperating, and as the proposed
scheme would accomplish that result BY
indirection, it will probably encounter
fatal opposition.

BEET SUGAR EXPERIMENTS.

The experiment station Of the United

monty known as the government xperi-

introduce the cultivation of the sugar
beet, and the consequent manufacture OF
beet sugar in the state of Missouri. The

If beets will not grow in Missouri, the
one state that produces both corn and

says with that amount to equip an ex-

which so many daring adventures have

pay for pole, but if it will knock per-
simmon, for the sight of which millions
have been vainly spent, it may be worth
