A to the Judges.

From tho Albuquerque Citizen.
A correspondent Of tbs Las Vegas
OPTIo. writing from this city. favors
the appointment OF judges from outside
the Territory. His argument 10 a libel
on the lawyers of the Territory, infer
ring that any q OF them placed upon
the bench would have private axes to
grind, aud would not deal out justice.
He also insists that the local judge
has bis prejudices, his friends 10 favor
and his political purposes to subserve.
II the latter argument was true, the
judges throughout the United States
should not be elected by the people OF
the respective districts, but be appoint
ed by the president from other locaii-
ties
President Mckinley was elecled on q
platform pledging home rule to the
Territories-that Is, that the federal
officials should be selected from bona
fde residents. There is no good rea-
son why this agreement should 81
broken. The local applicants for the
judgeships 10 this Territory are able
lawyers and men of good populations
and the president cannot afford te
ignore them ia favor Of outsiders.

THERE has been abundant pl

THERE has been abundant proof
during the past few months that the
itch for Office not only steals q mans
honor, character, and hope of success
10 other fields, but also robs him of
his money and his good sense in
business matters. We do mol refer
now to elective offices, or any in which
the power and political eminence at
tached might seem to justify desperate
seeking. but to the appointive positions
within the presidents gift. These, for
the most part. pay very moderate in
comes, and when they are vacated at
the end of a few years, or months, they
have merely put the men holding them
out of the current of business and
given them barely enough to live on,
while uniting them for other occupa-
tions. Yet men will hang around the
white house for months, spending
money, time and self-respect with a
prodigal hand, only to get nothing but
total disappointment In the end.

Outlawry in the Southwest.

From the Denver Republican.
Every now and then a report is re-
celved from New Mexico giving an
account of a battle between u sheriff's
posse and outlaws, whom the sherlff's
men were pursuing. 1t seems that, as
a rule, the outlaws get the worst OF
these encounters, but the bands are
large enough to continue to defy the
authorities. and so the pursuit is kept
up.
Public sentiment in New Mexico
should encourage the sheriffs Of that
Territory to hunt the outlaws down
and give them no rest. That Is the
only way to break up such bands and
prevent their terrorizing the whole re.
gion in which they operate. 1t is all
the more important that this be done,
because ouslawry feeds upon immunity
from arrest, and, il half a dozen or so
men of desperate character should
conclude that they could not be
arrested, they would be almost as
much of an affection to southwestern
New Mexico as Victoria or Geronimo
and their bands.

IT is said that women are full Of del
icate and thoughtful consideration for
the rights and feelings of others, but
this pretty theory goes all to pieces
when q woman plants herself at
postofiice window and has a few
marks to make to the patient post
inaeteE with reference TO certain letters
f6s expected that didn't arrive. Her
calm Indifference to the line of people
fretting In her rear and waiting to be
served is amazing. and the more they
fret the longer she talks. She never
leaves until she has exhausted her mind
and then she trips away with a gentle
smile upon her features, happy in the
consciousness that she has asserted the
right OF her sex aud made a number of
people await her pleasure. This inter-
esting spectacle can be witnessed al
most any day at the Las Vegas post,

fessed that he Is the author of the famous
section % of the tariff, which has just been
declared void by the attorney general,

can public. He now lives at a town in
West Virginia which was named Elkins
for his sake.
The details OF his life are interesting and
not over well known. He is now ffty-six

he went to Missouri as a child and was
educated in the state university there. He
became a lawyer, went west. lived in New

attorney, attorney general and United

was elected. to congress-, and upon his re-
tirement he settled in West Virginia,
where is still his home. He went into
business and became a rich man, and when
President Harrison wanted a secretary OF
war in 1891 he rave the portfolio to the
West Virginian. Three years age, Mr..
Elkius was elected to the senate, and his
term will expire in 1901.
Senator Elkins says that he carefully
counted the cost when he prepared the
section and fully realized its sweeping ef-
feet upon the. maritime of the
country. His idea was to rebuild the
merchant marine and he says the abroga-
tion of the section will set back Americas
sea twenty five years.
