COMMISSIONER EVANS DOING RIGHT.

COMMISSIONERS OF PENSIONS H. CLAY
EVANS has announced his intention Of
pursuing a liberal policy toward the old
soldiers in the matter of granting pen
sions, and no doubt he will DO 30. He
can easily do his duty by the government
and at the same time act in liberal
manner toward his old companions in
arms. This he can do without any hair
splitting, or without sending spies to see
how he can prevent granting pensions to
the old soldiers. The government need
ed these men very badly at a time when
it's life was threatened. Giving up every
thing that was dear to them, they went
manfully forth to this horrors of unknown
trials in hospital, camp and battle field.
They saved the government, which is now
in position to reward it's noble defend
ers in such manner as is provided by law.
The action of Commissioner Evans in
calling for the designations of all chiefs
of divisions under him to take effect on
May l, is the policy which is to obtain
throughout the pension office. The
chief of divisions removed with 30 days
leave of absence were all Democrats and
the places which they held were obtained
by the dismissal of Republicans.

MAKE YOURSELF HEARD.

In communication from a citizen,
published recently in the New MEXICAN,
and devoted to discussion of the neces-
sity of opening the Palace hotel, the sug
gestion is made that this paper maintain q
department which shall be devoted to COM
munications from the people, discussing
matters Of current import. Every well
regulated journal has department of the
character mentioned above, and the New
MEXICAN is always glad to publish letters
from citizens having ideas to advance for
the furtherance of town, county or terri
torial interests, or other subjects to dis
cues of popular interest. Very valuable
suggestions in the conduct of affairs are
often advanced after this manner, and for
an interchange of opinion on the topics
of the day, nothing superior could be de-
vised. Any of our citizens who feel that
they have anything to say to the people,
for the people, or for themselves, may
send their communications to the New
MEXICAN with the assurance, that if prop
er they will find place in the peoples
column. Anonymous letters cannot be
accepted, and in all cases the full name
of the writer must accompany communi-
cations, not necessarily for publication
but as an evidence of good faith.
