THE REPUBLICAN advocates the appoints
ing of Chief John Doian's successor from
the force up to its present efficiency, The
chief should be made by the appointing OF
ono of the captains, and then one OF the
sergeants should DO made captain, aud one
Of the patrolmen promoted to tho sergeant
ship. The patrolman should be appointed
irrespective of his political affiliations.
This is the only way to make the police

THE session Ct the Delaware law makers
will cost the tax payers Of the State over
$50, 900 dollars. which will nearly bankrupt

laws and they will have to pay for them.
Some means will have to be adopted to
pay this large sum of money, and the
property owners and those who rent prop
erty will have to foot the bill.

Of this bill and which had been signed by
some three hundred citizens OF Whining.

being used at Dover as the number of our

will these schemers not stoop to carry their
designs through? Our people do not want
1t, and their wishes-not the politicians
should be consulted.

THE language attributed to me in
the newspaper reports was not exactly
that which I used, but the reports
were substantially correct. Your en-.
tire reply can hardly fail to convince
the general public that you have not
been greatly misrepresented In respect
to your want Of faith in moral prin.
ciple ~ a factor, either in politics or
in practical life. Your reference to
your reporting. q prize fight for

minister who you say breaches for
money shows a lack Of moral dis.
elimination which Is lamentable. Is
there no difference between the man
who employs his talents In such a way
as will inevitably corrupt youth and
the man who seeks their highest good,
even though both are paid for their
labor?
You have for many years been a
public man, occupying one Of the
highest positions in the nation. When,
therefore, you descend from that lefty
height to give the weight of your
name and Of your influence to an affair
that the country p%ronounces democrat.
iz!ng and especially harmful to youth,
you should expect that those who wish
TO protect our youth and our cherished
institutions as we'll will call you to
ccount for such u strange proceeding;
and you cannot be of the fact
that the press of the country, both
secular and religious, has. with singu-
lar nanimity, and with almost merci-
less sarcasm in many instances, Is.
sailed your new departure.

to say that you misjudge and misrep-

and you misrepresent your critic when

four Of Them Brought Forward In the
Senate In Insurgsnts' Behalf.
WASHINGTON, April 3.--The Cuban
question was revived in the Senate yes
terday, after a long period Of compare
tive calm. Four distinct Cuban reso-
lutions were brought forward in rapid
succession. The last and most i'm
portant one came from Senator Nor
gan of Alabama. 1t declares that a
state Of war exists in Cuba and an
n the policy Of the United
States to accord with both parties to
the conflict with full recognition as
belligerents. MI. Morgan gave notice
that he would call up the resolution at
the next meeting Of the Senate with
the expectation of securing final action.
OF the other resolutions, two were
agreed to. One Of these, by Mr.. Nor
gan, calls on the President for the let
ters Of General Gomez to himself and
Mr.. Cleveland and for other informa-
ton on Cuban affairs. The other, by
Mr.. Mills of Texas, instructs tho com.
mittee On foreign relations to report
what obligations the United States has
assumed by compelling Cuba to re-
main subject to Spain. Both resolu'
tions were passed without opposition.
Mr.. Allen, Populist, of Nebraska,
also presented q resolution recitinQ
that General Rivera Of the Cubar
forces, had been captured by the Span
lsh and was about to be tried by drum
head court-martial and shot, and pro
testing against such trial as contrar,
to the rules Of civilized warfare. Mr.
Allen asked for immediate considera
ton of the resolution.
Mr.. Hoar said 1t did not conform
with the dignity Of the Senate to rusl
forward on these subjects. The ques
tions of life and death in Cuba was no
In the keeping of the Senate. Their
should be decorous and orderly pro
cedure on these international ques
tions, and he would object to the resc
luton unless 1t was allowed to go I

sheriff Chavez.
SANTA Fee, N. NJ, April 3.-Fran-
cisco Gonzales y Borrego, Antonio
Con y Borrego, Sauriano Alarid
and Patricio Valencia, condemned to
death for the murder Of ex-SheriG
Frank Chavez, who was killed from
ambush on the night of May 30, 1902,
were hanged together on one scaffold
ut 9:1O o'clock this morning.
The four men were perfectly stolid
at the close. There was no sign Of
disturbance, the authorities having
taken extra precauS Mons and militia
being stationed about the Jail.
The four men were members of the
executive committee Of what was
known as the "Button Gang" a league
organized to combat the political in
fiuence Of Chavez, who was q Demo
cratic leader in Santa Fe. On the
night Of May 90, 1892, Chavez, was was
a giant In strength and absolutely
fearless, was assassinated while on his
way home. The next night Juan Pob-
10 Dominguez, who openly declared
that he knew who murdered Chavez,
was shot and killed. For this crime
Francisco Borrego, who had been seen
fleeing from the scene Of the murder,
gave himself up, pleaded self defense
and was acquitted. For twelve months
the gang" which controlled both the
police department and the sheriff's Of
fee was supreme In Santa Fe and no
attempt was made to avenge the
Chavez murder. When Governor Thorn
ton vas appointed in 1893 he removed
District Attorney Twitchell and Sher-
1T Conklin from Office, and the new
sheriff began hunting for evidence
against the %murderers Of Chavez and
soon obtained confessions from two Of
the conspirators. Francisco and An
tonic Borrego, Lauriano Alarid, Pat
ricio Valencia and Frank Rivera
were arrested and Hyppolyty Vigil,
chief Of police and coroner was shot
dead while resisting arrest. At the
trial Rivera, Louis Gonzales and other
minor members Of the gang" turned
states evidence and the two B~orrego's.
Alarid and Valencia were convicted OF
murder in the first degree and SEN
fenced to be hanged. The case was
appealed on a writ Of error to the
United States supreme court, which
finally decided against the murderers.
Pending the hearing of the supreme
court, Alarid and Valencia confessed.
The murderers were to have been
hanged February 90, but Presiden.
Cleveland granted a respite for thirty
days. Then President Mckinley granted
Q further respite until to-day. Yester-
day he refused to interfere any further
and SO te~legraphed to Governor
Thornton.
Numerous plots for the rescue Of the
prisoners were thwarted by the vigil
lance Of the territorial authorities,
and q military guard was stationed .,
the Jail for some time under, order,
from Governor Thornton.
The Red Cloud chief., 1897-04-09
Tuesday, March 80.

several bills were advanced to third
reading in the senate this morning.
Bills passed were: ii. Il. 200, appro-
priating Morrill, fund for use of indus
trial school of State university; ii. II.
267, to prohibit corporations from con-
tributing money or means to influence
or control elections; 3. +. EOS, relating
to exclusion of school bond taxes in
compilation OF aggregate school taxes
The anti-pass bill was considered in
committee of the whole. 1t was
amended SO as to prevent the giving Of
passes for any purpose, not excluding
charitable purposes, and recommended
for passage.
Con siderable merriment was occas-
stoned by an amendment offered by
Senator Talbot in the form Of an
emergency clause, which makes the
bill effective MS soon as It receives the
governors approval.
81 hope that will not prevent us
from getting back homer" said Senator
Howell of Douglas, with pretended
anxiety.
"No! No! It will not!' was the echo
from several smiling republican sena-
tors.
Quite a number of the senator's spoke
for and against the bill, the minority
scoring the majority for not bringing
the bill forward until this late day.
A effort was made to have the 2-cent
passenger fare bill made q special or.
order, but IL failed.
A very pleasant incident was the pre-
~sentation of a large crayon portrait OF
Lieutenant-Governo Harris to Mrs.
Harris. Senator Beal Of Custer arose
just before adjournment and announced
that the senate. officers, and employees
had joined together, and that Senator
Murphy of Gage would speak for them.
Mrs. Harris occupied a chair lei her
husband, behind the presidents desk
Senator Murphy, on behalf of the don
ors, and in his most eloquent and earn
est manner, told of the respect and
love borne by all the senator's for thu
lieutenant governor, and how his con
duct as presiding officer had endearet
him to all.
Mrs. Harris expressed her heartfelt
thanks to the donors. Lieutenant
Governor Harris added a few words OF
behalf of himself and wife. He salt
he had a warm place in his heart 70
every senator without a single excep
ton. He thanked the senators an,
employees cordially.
