istrv, which the rigorous measures
adopted to prevent a revolution, Sc
riously questioned.
The war is costing this country nearly
So, OoO, 900 a day and has cost many lives
by bulletan sickness; Spain is spending
equally as much treasure, has lost vast
ly more lives than the United States
and has met defeat on every side, War
is the scourge of mankind, some one
has said, and the present struggle is no
exception to those which have gone be-
fore. This government cannot stop
strife until it has conquered and brought
a new life to millions of people who
have lived the lives of slaves for four
centuries. Spain will not call a halt
and sue for peace on the best terms OBJ
tainable. There is only one way to end
the matter, and that is for the stronger
power to crowd it to the "bitter end" as
the Spanish say.
The sooner Commodore Watson's feet
reaches the coast of Spain and turns the
guns of the ships lose on the seaport
cities; the sooner the Puerto Rican ex-
petition sails and captures San Juan
and occupies the island, the soone will
the war spirit of the Spaniards be quelled.
1t hardly seems right to strike a van
pushed foe, but sometimes it is neces-
sary in order to compel the adversary to
recognize that he is whipped. The
present appears to be one of these times,
and the harder the remaining blows are
struck the fewer will be necessary. The
United States is not DESTROYS of con
tinuing the fight one day longer than is
absolutely necessary, and it is to be
hoped there will be no more delays in
the sailing of transports and warships
for the points where they will do the
most good in the shortest time.

One View of the Political Situation in
Dona Ana County.
rio Grande Republican,


The political pot is beginning to sim
mer in Dona Ana county. Several can
didates are actively at work canvassing
among the people, but so far they have
not placed an announcement of their
candidacy in the newspapers.
The office of sheriff seems to be the
one most discussed. Both sides are go
ing to do their best to elect their sheriff.
There are at least half a dozen men men
toned for the position on each side.
Next comes the legislature, and the
probable nominees. j. A. Anchetta, of
Grant county, has many friends who
want to see him get the nomination for
the council from the counties of Grant
and Dona Ana. Jose Gonzales is men
toned as the right man to represent the
two counties in the house. For repre-
sentative, all seem to favor the nOmi-
nation of d. M. Sutherland, of La Luz.
The whole eastern end of the county is
favorable to him, even Tularosa, where
the people expect to make a fight for
the county seat They all know that
he will fulfill his promises.
G. A. Richardson, of Roswell, will
probably get the nomination on both
tickets.
Political lines will be loosely drawn in
the coming campaign, and it is probable
than more than II mar will Il on a
ticket that he would not vote If he
were not a candidate on it.

A correspondent, who dates his letter
at Ell Paso, Tex, has a letter in the st.
Louis Republic of the 10th instant,
wherein New Mexico is called a Spanish
province, and other fictions concerning
the territory are told. As this territory
has about 1000 volunteers to its credit
In this war so far and as a regular army
recruiting office has been opened at AL
buquerque, where many enlistments are
being made, it is clear that the cor
respondent is of the stamp of General
Blanco, Weyler and the rest of that ilk.
1t cuts no ice where these volunteers
came from originally. They were resi-
dents of New Mexico and were furnished
by the territory and they volunteered
cheerfully and some of them have been
proven to be among the best and most
courageous troops in all the armies OF
the United States now engaged in hos.
Utilities. Facts are facts and these facts
are good enough.
