Ing the past eight years he has been a
Populist, a republican, democrat, a
prohibitionist and an anti-prohibition-
Isl. At nearly every election during
this time-whether city, township or
county-he has been standing candi-

holding Office. A man of that kind is
not safe and ought not to be trusted.

IT is sometimes said that it is a
waste of time to discuss local affairs
and local politics, but 1t is great and
serious mistake. A mans first duty is
that OF interesting himself In his local
government. No good citizen should
be disinterested in this matter. You
want qualified men and honest men to
serve you at home as we'll as abroad.
You need men of ability, men of hon
or, men of good judgment and men of
convictions. If you pay no attention
to local politics the probability is that
you will fill the court house with poor
material

The INDEX has no bias against a
minister of the gospel, but we never
theless state fact when we say that a
minister can not properly manage the
affairs OF the county superintendent
office and at the same time deyote him
self to the church. One or the other must
necessarily suffer. For this reason, if
for no other, Elder Ingle should not be
burdened with the duties of the super
intendent's office.

BLO0DTHIRSTY LEAGUE
A WESTERN ORGANIZATION HAS
DESIGNS on THE GOVERNMENT.
Arc Pledged to blow Up the Presi-
dent and His Cabinet viii, D.na-
mitc-Ail Members to Arm.

! New York, February 5.--wylie i. Child
ers United States attorney for the Terri
tory of New Mexico. has Just written to the
department OF justice the details OF what
he considers a dangerous conspiracy, saws
| the Washington correspondent OF the
World.
He relates in precise official form that
n secret agent of one of the big railroad
corporations has Just informed him with
every particularly that secret organi-
cation known as the American Patriotic
league is gaining Roadway in the towns OF
Ration and Blossburg. N. NJ. and Trinidad
and La Junta, Colo, and surrounding
country.
This organization has for Its motto;
Liberty, land and leisure In the dis
trict represented by the towns mentioned
there are about 10000 miners and small
farmers. During the American Railway
union strike it was one OF the most turbu-
lent portions OF the country. Regular
troops were sent there. The strikers
were reduced to subsection, but they Bit
terly resented the invasion by the troops
and have always threatened that when
the next strike came they would teach the
soldiers a lesson.
Mr. Childers reports that the oath taken
by the members of the American Patriotic
league provides that each member shall
within SIXTY days of his swearing allie
gifrce equip himself with a i5-caliber
Winchester rifle and be ready for emer-
gencies.
THE oath contemplates," says MIR.
Childers, "a struggle with the National
government, as each member is pledged
to proceed on orders to accomplish the
death of the president and his cal act
by the use of dynamite. AS part OF the
agreement the members of the New MexI-
can contingent have applied TO the adiu-
tant general of the Territory TO be enlisted
in the National guard OF New Mexico, to
be supplied with arms and ammunition
and one or two Calling guns for battery
practice. The adjutant general has replied
that until the various companies are fully
enrolled and organized no arms can be is
sued
Mr. Childers informs the department
that the threats Of thex men, high flown
though they be. are not be to treated
lightly,

After that i would more than pay the inter-

our pension outlay for six months would

months IT would duplicate the Western Union
tel, graph system for the benefit OF the public
II the pension roll had been confined to
double the Garfield standard we should never
have had deficit In single year, aud in
stead OF issuing new bonds TO make both ends
meet We should have exhibited to the world
long before now the remarkable spectacle Of
a government out of debt and reducing taxes
to cut down its surplus revenues.
