POLITICAL GOSSIP.

/
The Republicans of Santa Fe are
making hard licks for harmony. Emil
Solignac, one of Catron's assistants, and
John Forsha, Independent Republican
candidate for sheriff, indulged in q
lively fist fight on Saturday.
The railroad boys at Lamy, Cerillos
and Madrid won't do "ating' for their
old chun, Jack Langstcn, nominee for
sheriff on the Democratic ticket in
Santa .Fe county. Jacks friends in Las
Vegas send him greeting. s-
w. c. Wrigley writos from Ration to
say that THE OPTIC didn't quite catch
his meaning. What he said, speaking
of the Colfax campaign, was that the
600 majority of two years ago for Fer
gusson, he believed, wond this time be
cut down to 400.
Word received from the Democratic
candidates who are making campaign
ing tour of Colfax county is to the ef-
feet that the prospects of the success OF
the entire ticket could not be better. II
is believed the ticket will carry every
precinct in the county.
James Duncan, who is now holding
Office as gift from Democratic exec
.utive, is these days hand and glove
with the Frost Otero-P Perea wing of the
Republican party. Politics do indeed
make strange bed fellows and very
often the man who climbs in last
doesn't sleep on flowery bed of ease.
Everything that the Democrats have
claimed respecting the good offices OF
II. B. Ferguson before congress in be-
half of securing fair play for New Mex
leo wool growers on the tariff question
has been proved by the publication in
the New Mexican of Saturday Of ex-
tracts from the Congressional Record.
Some Ferguson Republican must
have laughed in his sleeve when he
persuaded the New Mexican to print
that. The Congressional Record
doesn't lie, as rule. These facts speak
for themselves.
One of the pIanks adopted at the
Mora Co., Democratic convention
reads thus:
"We denounce the Republican party
of New Mexico for its attempt to raise
the race issue, and we denounce the
Republican press of the Territory, es.
pecially the Silver City Enterprise and
San Marcial Bee, and prominent Re
publican officials In the southern por-
tion of the Territory for their advocacy
to disfranchise the citizens of this Ter
ritory whe cannot read and write the
English language. And we hereby
4 pledge the support Of Hon. H. -B. Fer
gusson, if elected, to defeat any such
attempt by congress, if it should be
made. 81 3

VICTORIA, b. c., Oct. 31---A COM
motion prevails in the clubs here fre-
quented by naval men. Admiral Pal
lisen is said to have received an i'm
portant cipher message from the adj
inirality. Immediately the ship Am
phion, the tastsst cruiser on station
here, was ordered to prepare for sea.
The flagship Imperieuse, just returned
from Comox, is also coaliag. The
Leander has been ordered afsU to re
turn from Comox to prepare for any
move decided upon.
A SHOW OF STRENGTH.
The opinion among naval men is
that England is dispatching fleets from
Halifax to the West Indies and from
Esquimault to Tahiti to show the
French how utterly their colonies
would be at. the .mercy of the British
should Great Britain make a war-iike
movement.

j.. AGAIN: II DID IT."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-Adyices
from Paris to the effect that the United
States commissioners have demanded
cession to the United States of the en-
tire Philippine group is in line with in-
Fstructions recently issued TO represen-
tatives- of the United States.
1t cannot be learned definitely what
money consideration is to pass with the
title to the Philippines. Indeed
there is reason to believe that even the
United States peace commissioners
have not yet been able tofix the amount
exactly. Assuming that they are tt
repudiate all portions of the debt of the
islands which does not represent money
spent for betterment of the islands il
will be seen at once that
THE TASK PRESENTED
to the commissioners of differentiatinl
! this debt is not an easy one; particu
larly in view of the notoriously loosI
financial methods of the Spanish coloni
al authorities. That this debt should bt
assumed by the United States in some
proportion is said at the state depart
,ment to be inevitable il annextion is tt
follow.
4 The conditions presented are entirely
unlike those in Cuba. In the lattel
case there was justification in inter
national law and precedent for our re
fusal to be saddled with the debt wher
we received no tangible assets; but il
the case of the Philippines the rich ant
we'll populated United States woulG
acquire what, in the eyes of the world
is most valuable possession, and It'll
believed the holders of all government
obligations without regard to nationali
| ty would insist that their lien sheult
pass with the property.

effort to try to stop the swelling tide
ofshame and indignation cngendered
by their low grade nominations, the

summoned and made four changes on
the ticket. John w. Conwsy's name
was stricken from the ticket. G. W.

Then l told him my story. I shall
never forget how he sat there before
me, looking straight into my eyes, his
face growing old and haggard as the
minutes went by. Half an hour
wrought such facial changes that he
seemed almost like a stranger. His
very soul must have been tortured, but
lie said not word until was through.
Then he quietly asked me to verify
certain points, seeming to have hope
that I might after all be mistaken.
There had been no blunder. He real
lied it at last, and rising up he asked
me to say nothing to anyone else; and
bowed over like a man of so, he left the
house. Presently / followed him.
The stricken man did not go to the
bank or his home, but walked out into

wife gone. She had left before mid
night in a strange outfit driven up to
the door by strange man; but before
going she had visited the bank, and
this time she made haul of all cash
at hand-about $4,000. The ill-used
husband opened the bank for one day
and then closed it forever, though all
depositors were paid in full while he
