An Alleged Defense That Admits the Charges.

The Las Vegas Optic in its Thursday
issue devotes a few columns to an al
legged defense of the illegal, unlawful,
dishonest and corrupt actions of the
county officials of San Miguel county in
the management of county finances and
the wholesale and illegal abatement Of
taxes as shown by the record and as
published by the NEW MEXICAN. The
defense virtually admits the charges of
the New MEXICAN as true and correct,
but endeavors to undo them by mis-
statements, perversion of facts, false
hoods and lying attacks on the editor of
this paper. If that helps the gang any,
well and good. The future will tell.
The New MEXICAN does not know
what action will be taken by the terri
torial authorities and by the law off,
GERS of the territory in the matter. If
Solicitor General Bartlett and District
Attorney Fort take no action, that mat
tiers not. The NEW MEXICAN has done
its duty and will abide by the result.
The lying assaults on the editor of
the New MEXICAN in connection with
this matter do not clear the dishonest
and corrupt record made by certain of.
ficers of San Miguel county in the least.
People care nothing about these as
saults. The official record of these off.
Gals is on trial, nc more and no less.
Their own record over their own sig
natures is the evidence of their evil do.
ing and of their breaking the law. Nc
falsehoods, villifcations or bowling
against this paper can wash that fact
away.
1t must be remarked right here, that
n of the prolific sources for the pres
ent deplorable condition of this terri.
tory and some of the counties in a finan'
cial way is the very fact that county
officials can break the law with impuni.
ty and are not punished. 1t is said, by
some of the law officers of the territory,
the law is not strong enough and not
ample enough to reach such cases.
That may be the fact, and If it Is, is
a very detrimental and greatly to be de-
plored fact for the good of the honest
and decent people of the territory.

plicatious at this time it is impossible to
forecast, Apparently conditions are
favorable for a terrible war between
the European nations over the Chinese
and Egyptian questions, and yet the
car comes forward with a proposition
for a permanent peace.
The reasons for believing that the
ear is in earnest in his proposal are
even more weighty than those for
doubling his sincerity. Every country
in Europe is grooming under the burden
of taxation necessary to maintain the
enormous military establishments; the
vitality and producing powers of the
nations are slapped by the drain on the
Young men for service in the armies;
the credit of the different governments
is strained almost beyond further ex-
tension. Unless something is done
o to relieve existing conditions the
armies of Europe will bring about the
very thing they are maintained to pre-
vent, war, and the war will settle for
ever the burdcning of the populace
with an institution which is the out
growth of mans avarice and ambition.
The millennium is not in sight, but it
is to be hoped that the cza is its fore
runner and that in the near future the
tread of countless thousands of armed
men will no longer be heard in the
countries of Europe.

A Political Classic.

Since the days in which Alexander
Hamilton and his able coadjutors
penned the Federalist, political litera-
ture In this country of genuine, endur-
ing worth has not accumulated with the
rapidly that the growing educational
and moral status might seem to call for.
Generally speaking, political litera-
ture has savored rather of selfish poll
cies than of broad minded statesman
ship. But occasionally there is a valu-
able and shining addition to the political
literature of the day, such as President
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech, President
Harrison's at Liberty Park, Salt Lake
City, and other efforts that mark the
true statesman. Another classic addi-
ton to the collection of statesmanlike
utterances was recently made on the
transport China by General Francis
V. Greene, formerly colonel of the list
New York, and subsequently promoted
to be brigadier general of volunteers.
1t was a Fourth Of July address he made
before the United States troops on the
great vessel, a part of which was taken
down by a correspondent in the ranks
and which is now appearing in American
papers. Among other things he said:
1.-The vigor with which Jefferson acted
in acquiring Louisiana proves that were
he alive today he would be the first to
seize the opportunities which Admiral
Dewey's glorious victory at Manila has
placed within our grasp. In Jefferson's
mind there would be no hesitation as to
our duty to hold the Philippines and
accept the destiny which has been
modestly thrust upon us. *%* There
are on the earth today people to whom
such rights as life, liberty and the pur-
suits of happiness are unknown. They
dream of them as the hope of the future.
And it would seem as it were to be the
destiny of the United States under the
guidance of Providence to bestow upon
these less favored people some measure of
those blessings which we have so long
enjoyed; to use the vast wealth, power
and resources which we have created
during four generations of freedom in
putting an end to cruelty, oppression
and disagreement. Some people call
this a needless meddling with other peo-
Piles affairs; but that which buildeth up
a nation is not money nor power, but
self-sacrifice, devotion to duty and
righteousness. The time has indeed
come for us Americans to turn our
thoughts from mere material gain to
those higher conceptions by which man
is ennobled and nations are made per-
manently great"

ga singer from Il rival saloon was let
see it through.
Long about 10 o'clock, just as the
clerk and 'klondike' was getting in
their best licks on u sentimental Song,
in walks a woman holding two little
kids by their hands and followed by a
crowd of stern-faced c%orporals.
"Just as they got up to the stage, one
of the children pulled loose from the
woman's hand and made a bolt for the
clerk. She grabbed him by the pants
leg and said:
Come; come on home papa. Mama's
waiting for you!"
''He looked kinder foolish and turned
to 'Klonkide' but she froZe him with Il
contemptous glance.
"You villain!' the other woman
shouted. "See what your cruel deser-
tion has driven me to. And l must
work to support myself and the babies
| while you go g%allavatin' around with
other women I'll show you who'll do
the supporting after this"
"Then she walked up and grabbed
him by the ear and led him out.
HE turned an appealing glance on
the corporals as he passed them, but
they gave him the marble heart and
one of them went as far as to remark:
"What a depraved wretch"

marked:

He did not hear the barkeeper heave
a sigh as the latter turned to the slate.

and was walking up the street arm in

counting the deeds of daring performed
by the gallant boys in blue from New

stormed the heights of San Juan.

Is the Gar Sincere?

Several days have elapsed since the
czar of all the Russias created a sensa-
ton in European courts with a PROPOSE
ton for an international conference for
the purpose of arriving at an under
standing between the powers by which
a lasting peace might be secured, and
the vast armies and navies of the old
world might be disbanded, but nothing
more has been heard of the project.
The question that is puzzling the
statesmen of England, Germany, France
and Italy is, Is the car sincere?
There are many reasons for doubling
the sincerity of the Russian monarch,
as the condition of the Orient would
seem to justify. Russian aggression in
China has been and is of a nature which
alarms the balance of Europe, and the
fleets of Great Britain are assembling
in Chinese waters in overwhelming force.
Germany is opposing Russia in Turkey,
while France stands ready to take re-
venge for the loss of Alsace and Lorraine
at the first opportunity. France and
Russia are bound together by q secret
understanding, and while the other
powers may look upon that alliance
with contempt. there is no doubt that
should war be declared which would
involve Russia with any other nation,
France would prove an efficient aid to
the car. just what effect the reported
alliance between Germany and Great
Britain will have upon European CON-

Germany has evidenced great concern
Over the interests of her IA subjects in
the Philippine islands ever since Admiral
Dewey celebrated May day in that part
of the world. During the unpleasant
ness with Spain five German warships
were considered necessary to protect the
kaiser's children in Manila, and now
that peace has been declared 1t is thought
that two ships will suffice for that pur-
pose. 1t is strongly suspicioned that Ger
many's solicitous care of her subjects in
the Philippines is occasioned not so much
by the present interests at stake as it is
by what might be acquired in the event
that the United States decided not to
occupy the islands.

the New MeXicaIh troopers in the bat
TALON of the Rough Riders which l
have commanded before Santiago have
behaved. Three of the eight troops
with me were from New Mexico, being
commanded by Captains Muller, Luna
and Lewellyn. All three captains, and
all three troops, distinguished them
selves. AS for the troopers themselves,
| cannot say too much for their
daring and resolution in battle. their
patient endurance of every kind of hard
ship and labor, and their discipline,
ready obedience and order in camp
these last qualities being as indispens-
able to soldiers as courage itself. | am
more than proud to be in the same regi-
ment with them; | can imagine no
greater honor than to have commanded
such men.
Among the promotions which it gave
me peculiar satisfaction to recommend
were those of Sergeant Dame to be lieu
tenant and of Lieutenant Reyes to be adj
jutant.
Captains Muller, Llewellyn and Luna
have all three shown so much %gallantry
and efficiency that it would be difficult
to distinguish between any two of them.
Captain Muller and Captain Llewellyn
were under my immediate eyes in both
fights. In the charge On the first hill in
the Santiago fightthey were with me, and
their two guidons with that of Captain
Luna were planted on the hill before the
others, and almost at the same moment.
In both fights Captain Luna was also, asst
happened, under my immediate eye, and
| was mor than pleased at the fearless
ness with which he led his men into the
hottest fire. All three met instantly
every demand l made on their courage
and capacity-and | made very many,
for we have had hard fighting.
