almost invariably marked by a lack of in
terest and the chief feature of the contests

apathy manifested by the electors. There

Though the elections were for the most

OUR SANTA FE LETTER
Some Mattersof Moment Occurring
at the Territorial Capital.

To the Editor OF the Optic.
SANTA FE, N. M, August14th, 1897.
Mayor G. A. Spiess is having a par
rot-and- monkey time here with his
party followers. BY some hook or
crook it seems that Spiess has swung
Antonio Ortiz y S~alazar, the ward re-
publican boss here, away from Catron
and onto his side, and in order to graf
lily Don Antonio, the mayor is doing
his best to place one of the notorious
Alarid, Borrego crowd on duty as city
marshal. This is opposed by the bet
ter element Of the party, and so there
is a heap of trouble in the local camp.
The city council, as it now stands, re-
fuses to do the mayors bidding in this
respect, and hence there are deals on
galore. One of them contemplates
the resignation Of some of the present
members of the city councillor a con-
sheraton, of course-and the naming
of men who are friendly to the
Alarid -Borrego crowd, thus giving
the mayor opportunity to do
the bidding Of Boss Don Antonio. IL
the deal is carried out, it will make the
biggest breach in Santa Fe county
republican ranks that has occurred
since the Prince-Rynerson split, of
years ago.

LET THE FOOL ALONE,

1t has become a too common thing
in this land of sunshine and shade. for
people to tell the man at the pen how
to run his newspaper. The old plan
of calling a man a liar, a %scoundrel, or
a son-of-a gun, through the columns of
a newspaper. has ceased to be the right
way and those who seem to know so
well how a newspaper should be con-
Quoted are talking from a standpoint
long since obsolete. The facts are
that most editors conduct their journals
quite well-a fact that would be found
out by a new man at the helm by the
time one side of his paper had been
printed and before the last half had
gone through the press. Some men
are very prolific in advice to the editor
to go for this or that man; to fay this
or that concern. The same men, In

L
The mental condition OF Hon. John
Sherman, secretary Of state, Is excit'
ing some comment throughout the
Q ,untry. That Mr.. Sherman should
die at tho top before the roots are re-
duced TO dust, is but in the course OF
nature. He will be remembered for
what be was in his prime, be 1t good or
rad, and that is enough for him to
effect upon. 1t 70 no reason for bis
icing retained In an Office for which
no completely equipped person has
beon found in long years.
Not since the time Of the rebellion,
has there been so strong a demand for
a great E~dIplomatist in the ONCE OF
secretary of.state. For years, no In
tern ational question has been touched
without its being botched. The United
States hava been ever made o and
more the laughing stock OF the dipio'
matte world.
President Mckinley should understand
that the country is tired In this matter
to the full extent OF its patience, ant
that the first step toward q better or
der Of . if airs Is the retirement OF Sher
man and the introduction OF one wht
is able at least to talk coherently, ant
to remain silent II he is not certain h'
lis saying the right thing at the RICH
time.
Age is always to be respected. Th,
passing Of the public men who hav
been eminent, even il not always right
is one of the griefs Of all the cycles Q
time. But there is a thing worse thai
lack of respect for age. and that IS tn
.ldeliverance of a great trust to tn
keeping of one who by reason OF ments
decadenoc. and who IS already but
memory, is totally unified.
