five straight and the set, 6-2, playing

RESERVES
MUSTERED OUT
Discharged From Service

EIGHTY NOW CIVILIANS.

Active Service.
EIGHTY NOW CIVILIANS.
cAlssoNs FOR THE BATTERIES.

The Rhode Island naval reserves. who
were sent from the Manhattan at Phil
adelphia to Newport, on Saturday last,
were mustered out of the United States
service at the Newport training station
yesterday afternoon, and 50 of the boys
left the Constellation shortly after
o'clock, once more civilians and free to
return to their respective homes. The
men left Newport at once. some going
to Bristol, others to East Providence.
while many returned to this city.
The men are all more or less disap-
pointed because they were not given an
opportunity to see active service, but.
inasmuch as the war is over, they are
glad to get home again. There are still
few of the Rhode Island reserves in
the United States service, about seven
men. now on the Minneapolis. which is
at League Island. These men are ex-
pected home in a few days.
Caissons For Batteries.
The talk about ''mustering out" con-
tinues, but in spite of il large amount
OF material for the two batteries ar
of caissons, while two more carloads
are expected some time today. This
VIII practically complete the equipment
OF the batteries.
Now that this material has reached
Camp Dyer, there is satisfaction. par
ticularly among the officers, and finally
Battery A will receive four caissons
necessary to replace the old II. I. M.
caissons now in use, and Battery Il will
receive four caissons, four gun car
riages, harnesses and forge and bat
terry wagon. 1t is better late than
never and these articles were requsi-
toned for just as soon as the batteries
service.
Feeling Of Uncertainty.
The one bad feature about the un-
certainty of the disposition to be made
of the batteries lis that the men are in
spirit of unrest. and this naturally
causes them to feel rather dissatisfied
with the army service. None of the
men feel like taking the same interest
they did as long as the war was I'm
progress, and they are all anxious to
have the question settled, either one
way or the other, with as little delay
as possible.
The same feeling, to some extent, ex-
lists in the ranks of the First Rhode
Island Regiment, and Are we going
to be mustered out or are we to be al
lowed TO take our choice between going
to Cuba or being mustered out ?" Is a
question that the boys are asking each
other daily now. Here again there Is a
division of opinion. some of the men
being very desirous of continuing in the
service. while others are as equally
anxious to return home as soon as pos
sible.

Plans and schemes and a mode Of pro-
cedure for the coming campaign are to
be brought up, discussed and adopted.
All the free silver forces in New Mexico
are to be united under one banner, ii
possible. The Democratic central com
mittee is taking time by the forelock
and proposes to be at work early and
often. This is certainly good campaign
policy. The New MEXICAN has been
urging the leaders Of the Republican
party in New Mexico to get a move on
and do something toward organization
but so far without avail. This action Of
the Democratic central committee may
stir things up in the right direction in
Republican ranks and again it may not.
That the Republicans had best be ur
and doing and organizing is patent TIC
every Republican, who knows anything
OF the political conditions OF the terri
tory and who has the welfare and sue
cess of his party at heart. Gentlemen
of the Republican territorial central
committee, officials OF the Republican
territorial league and good Republicans
generally will do we'll to heed this admo'
milton.

According to their story, when Demo.

According to their story, when Demo-
Gratis are in power, they eliminate poll
ties from everything; they close their
political eye and only use the one
through which they can see honest,
upright and non-partisan men to fill
vacancies. Under such conditions. these
officials have a strange cyclone that
either refuses to see or is so corrupt and
political that it cannot see anything but
the worst class of political criminals
and vagabonds that can be found in the
Democratic party. 1t must see all Of
fees vacant, and fill them accordingly,
for Republicans were kicked out so
hard and quick that you could not find
one in any Office with a fine toothed
comb, unless it was the disreputable
turn-coat.
That the power to appoint carries
with it the power to remove cannot be
disputed unless by the collar-wearing
Democratic press, and an opinion from
that side of the house amounts to moth
ing, for the editors of these papers do
not believe that ''tell the truth and
shame the devil" is a good motto to fol-
low. Every removal that Governor
Otero has made has been fully justified,
and every man appointed by him has
been chosen with care as to his char
acter and ability, and these appointees
have always commanded the highest re-
spect, esteem and confidence of their
neighbors and friends. They are men
who will aid the governor in making his
administration one of the most success
full, economical and popular since New
Mexico came under the jurisdiction Of
the United States.
This cannot be said of any Democratic
governor New Mexico ever had. Their
policy has been plumber, political gain
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. But Governor
Otero is not after any one of these. He
seeks to give the people of the territory
an administration based on economy
and prosperity, and to do so he must
have for his assistants men in whom he
can place confidence, who will carry out
his policy and not prostitute their offices
as has been done for the past four years
by their Democratic predecessors.
We heartily concur in the course
Governor Otero has pursued, and pre-
dict that if it is continued in, he will
have the thanks and support of all de-
cent citizens, irrespective of party affli'
atoms, the bribe-taking, mugwumT
press to the CONTRADICTIONS Ana Coun'

The state of Colorado Is increasing its
output of gold greatly, regardless of the
fact that the Denver papers can do
not much else but talk free silver and
damn the present national administra-
ton. Colorado's output Of gold in 1897 was
$50, 900, 900, double that Of 1894 and five
times that of 1890. For 1898, it is
stated that the production of gold in the
1925, 900, 900. Facts like these show how
absurd is the proposition, that the mines
on this ambitious planet cannot supply
the demand of business for gold as a
medium of exchange and a standard
measure of values.

A Plain and Simple Question.

The territory, on account OF supplies
purchased for the use of the territorial
penitentiary, owes many thousands OF
dollars to persons from whom such sup
plies were bought and has so owed such
sums for two years or more. 1t is but
common honesty and decency that the
citizens, who have furnished these sup
plies in good faith, should have their
money. 1t is also but common honesty
and decency that all the money that Is
appropriated for the maintenance of the
penitentiary that is not absolutely re-
quired for such maintenance, should be
used in paying off these old and just
debts. This, unfortunately for the
good name of the territory, is, however,
not the case in the measure that 1t
should be. All sorts of expenses are be-
ing incurred that do not seem absolutely
necessary or proper to the average citi-
zen and taxpayer. For instance, the
NEW MExICAN's attention has been
called to one item of expenditure, that
certainly is not and was not contem-
plated by the annual appropriation bill.
The money that was expended in this
| case should have been, with much more
propriety and justice, used for the pay
ment and in settlement of old accounts.
The item is us follows: voucher No.
$50. February and May, 1896, and
April, 1897, for plants and shrubs for
| flower house from Denver; roses and
carnations from Chicago for the same,
$172. Paid January 5, 1885,"
That is the record and these are the
facts as given to this paper. The NEW
MEXICAN submits to the members of the
board of penitentiary commissioners and
to the taxpayers of the territory this sim
Pile question: Is it for the best interests OF
the territory and of its taxpayers to pur'
chase flowers and shrubs for the hot
house at the penitentiary or is it better
to pay honest debts for necessary sup
| niles?

Cruelty to Woman.

When, during the civil war, the Con-
federate General McCulloch moved
from Pamela, he had considerable diff
GUILTY in getting his men across the Tai
lahatchie river. The feat was accom-
plished on a pontoon bridge, where only
a few men and their horses could cross
at a time, and those in the rear, while
waiting, would slip back into the town.
When this was found out. staff officers
were sent to order the men into line,
and they rode along, calling on them to
close up.
Several Texans started, Oh hearing
the order, and dashed along the street
at breakneck speed, and one fellow
some distance in the rear yelled as he
few and whirled his lasso above his
head.
He passed a store where stood the fig
ure of a woman, a wire frame made for
displaying gowns, and quick as a flash
his rope had caught the dummy.
Down the street he galloped, drag.
ging the thing after him. 1t was very
light and constantly rebounded at times
80 that it was six feet above the ground.
Everybody who saw it was sure he had
lassoed a woman, and not only indigna.
tion but horror prevailed.
He noticed no one. His big hat on
the back Of his head, he rode wildly
along, yelling at the top Of his voice
and dragging his victim. When he ar.
rived at the river, he halted, drew in
his rope, caught the figure under his
arm and quietly rode on the bridge.
The crowd had followed, and when ii
discovered the real nature Of the lady

The Nations Defenses.

The naval appropriation bill reported
to the house on yesterday carries a
very large sum of money for the increase
Of the navy, and authorizes the building
of three battleships, six torpedo boats
and six torpedo boat destroyers, and also
provides for the building of dry docks
on both the Pacific and Atlantic
coasts for the use OF the navy. This
report serves to call attention to the
fact that the United States navy is be-
coming one of the most powerful on the
seas.
The loss of the Maine has resulted In i'm
pressing the fact that s~o-called isolation
of the country is not absolute protection
in the minds ofthe members OF congress,
and steps have been taken to provide a
naval force sufficient to protect the vast
interests of America the world over. AL
ready two first-class cruisers, the ANA
| zonas, now the New Orleans, and the Al
mirante Abreull, rechristened the Alba
ny, have been added by purchase from
Brazil. On Thursday will occur the
double launching of the battleships
Kearsage and Kentucky. These latter
vessels are considered the most for
midable war engines eve built by any
nation. In their construction the &C.
cepted lines and ideas Of warship build
ing have been ignored and many radical
changes in armor and armament adopt
ed. When completed and placed in
commission they will be the superiors
in fighting strength Of any ship now
afoat.
In coast defenses the United States
has made wonderful advancement the
past three weeks, and many harbors
heretofore in a defenseless state are
now or soon will be impregnable. The
$50, 600, 900 recently appropriated by
congress for national defense is being
expended to good advantages, and be it
said to the honor of American manu-
facturers of war supplies, there has been
no disposition on their part to defraud
or overcharge the government on con.
tracts so far let. At the present time
this country is in a fair condition to de-
fend the coasts and repel any attempts
to invasion or destruction of seaboard
cities.
Should the appropriation bill just re-
ported to the house be passed 1t woult
be two or three years before the vessels
authorized could be available for serv
ice, but the very fact that the United
States is building an extensive and ef
fective addition to the navy already In
commission, will have a tendency to
make foreign nations respectful In their
attitude toward the country, and insure
a hesitancy on the part of any power to
engage in a scrimmage with a people
who are willing to spend unlimited sums
Of money for defense.

the preacher eyed him %curiously. Then
he looked closely at the mans clothes
and uttered an exclamation Of surprise.
The man seemed to be Y and
made one or two attempts to wade back

He attempted to execute his threat,
