OBITUARY.

On November Sth. 1893. as the sun
was sinking behind the western hori
zon there departed from this political
life of turmoil, tribulation and strife
one Oliver III. Dockery and two sons
Claudms and Ollie. The old man had
for many long and tedious years been
great seeker of office. indeed, he
painted for office ms the hart for the
water-brook. MS did also Claudus
whose career was short and full of peni-
tertiary episodes, and last. but not
least. little Ollie. the solicitor-seekine
pilgrim of Evans fame Their political
life has twindled away. their lamp has
ceased to burn, the dim ray of hope is
vanished. They have pegged out. They
have lost their grip. Like some fallen
seraph flying in rayless night they grope
their way on tagging pinions search
ing for light where darkness reigns.
Alas, how are the mighty fallen! Truly
may the poet sing:
BY the turbulent waters Of the swift
Pee Dee
Old Oliver is laid to rest.
White Supremacy gave him a punch.
And Bellamy did the rest.

1t guards ambitions restless sleep.

On the same date. my poor brother
Zachary Fillmore, departed his political
life. after being IL member of the old
Radical party for thirty long years.
His friends and relations have little
hope OF meeting him in glory. He last
request was that he he laid to rest in
the old Dockery Political Burying

The Beginning Of the End.

The expected has happened: Con-
gress has virtually declared war for the
purpose of securing the freedom OF the
Cubans and the first gun may be fired
at any moment. The action of congress
In bringing about q settlement OF a ques-
ton which has disturbed the people for
over three years will meet with the APP
proval Of the country in a substantial
manner. There will be no lack of
money and men to prosecute the con-
fict to the bitter end If necessary. All
that will be asked is that an end be put
to the inhuman treatment of women
and children on the island, and the
insurgents and their friends be allowed
to earn their bread In an honest man
ner.
1t has required forbearance and
patience on the part of the Ameri-
can people to withstand the temp
tation to take a hand in the matter
long ago, but the foul and treacher-
GUS manner in which the battleship
Maine was deliberately destroyed under
the mask of friendship, proved the last
straw which broke the back of patience
Of the nation, and Spain must now take
tho consequences. Opportunity after
opportunity has been given that country
to end the war on the Island in an hon
orable manner and to withdraw her
troops and navy, but the hesitancy to
engage in a struggle which can only be
disastrous tt one nation and painful to
the other, appears to have filled the
minds of the Spanish with the idea that
the United States feared to do anything
to avenge the numerous insults that
have been heaped upon the stars and
stripes, and resting on that supposed
fear that country has persisted in ignor'
ing the friendly hand that has been ex'
tended in all sincerity and conducted
the affairs of the island in such a man.
ner that forbearance long ago ceased tc
be a virtue, and assumed the aspect of a
crime to humanity and a reproach to
civilization.
But the beginning Of the end has
come. Spain must ~evacuate Cuba and
allow the inhabitants to organize and
conduct an independent government,
or indicate what relation they wish to
bear to the United States. The first
step having been taken the end Is not
far in the future, and 1t cannot come
any too soon to suit the American PEG,
pie. Cuba must and shall be free, and
Spain must leave the western continent
forever. That is the result of the DELHI
e~rations of the people of this country,
who are slow to enter into war, but ter,
ribly in earnest.

THE Railroad Age, published in Chi
cago, states, that the construction OF
over 20, 200 miles of railroads is under
consideration and in contemplation in
the United States. Over 10000 miles OF
this construction is located in the south
and southwest and about 5000 miles in
1t does not look much as though the rail-
road men made a mistake in 1896 in vot-
ing in favor of a sound financial system,
especially when it Is considered that the
railroad construction projected for 1898
is four times as much as the average
during the past decade.

In another column, the New MEXICAN
re-publishes a letter from Sheriff Pat

showing up the glarlng inaccuracies
equivocations and falsehoods contained
In a recent editorial article in the Albu-
querQue Democrat, concerning the inves-
legations now going on in the Fountain
murder case In Las Cruces, under the
caption, "Strict Justice" The sheriff,
it is apparent to all fair minded and re-
spectacle citizens, tells the truth in a
straight forward and manly tanner.
That, however, cuts no ice with our
contemporary, but the people of New
Mexico will read the sheriff's card In
this issue and believe what he says.

REPORTS of bank exchanges and OF
railroad earnings indicate clearly and
correctly the financial activity of the
country and the movements Of agrlcul-
tural and commercial supplies. Dun's
Review, in q recent issue, shows that
the bank exchanges and railroad earn
ings in the first quarter of 1898 have In
each case been larger than for any like
period on record. How Is this for a
country whose business, we were In
formed in 1896, must go to destruction II
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
were not adopted?

THE Denver Republican in a recent
issue contains a four column illustrated
write up of the town Of Ration and says
editorially concerning that place:
"Raton, N. M, has grown to BIO one of
the important cities of the territory and
promises to be one of the centers of the
Rocky mountain region. A model west
ern city, peopled with industrious citi-
zens and surrounded by a region rich In
every natural resource, its steady and
general prosperity, shared by all parts
Of the community alike, show o future
OF limitless possibilities. With the PEG.
pie and the material to prosper when
conditions were most adverse, too glow.
ing a picture can hardly be drawn Of
possibilities In normal times"

Tax Matters In Santa Fe County.

The board of county commissioners Of
this county did exactly right yesterday
In declining to grant any more conces-
sions to delinquent tax payers at the ex-
pense of the honest tax payers and to
the detriment of the decent and law
abiding citizens Of this county, who pay
taxes promptly and as required by law.
In individual cases, where wrong as
sessments have been made or where
property has greatly deteriorated in value
or where an unjust assessment has been
made or where some citizen has suffered
greatly, it is the proper thing to grant
concessions and the law provides that
the county commissioners may take
action therein.
But when tax payers and property
owners, who are we'll and perfectly able
to pay, come up and demand that reduce
tions be made to them, that have not
been granted to the large body Of tax
payers, it would be manifestly unjust
and improper to grant such. Favors Of
that sort would prove a grave injustice
and a serious injury to the honest tax
payers, and a great detriment to the
commonwealth, besides being an infrac-
ton and an evasion Of the very law, the
officials are sworn to uphold and to exc
cute. 1t is we'll understood, that some
of the property in this county
are holding back from paying taxes for
the very purpose OF inducing the county
commissioners to give them rebates.
That such a course does not meet with
the approval of the good citizens Of the
county goes without saying. That the
county commissioners but obeyed the
spirit and the letter of the law in deny
Ing this application for rebates and set
Elements from persons who willfully and
deliberately refuse to pay taxes, with
the end in view Of getting easy settle
ments from the county commissioners
and paying less than their just dues, Is
plain and apparent. The commissioners
course meets with the approval Of
the best citizens of oil shades Of pc.
litical opinion and the people as q
whole will commend their sagacity
and Armnsss in standing by the law
and doing what public policy and

THE course adopted and carried out
by Spain in Cuba during the past three
years has been so horribly cruel and
unutterably beastly, that the United
States had to put a stop to it. In a
very few days, Spain will have a war on
its hands wherein its soldiers will meet
men and where the victims will not be
defenseless women and children, nor
the means, the slaughter and starvation
of innocent people. A just r%etribution
Is about to overtake Spain.
