CALLED ON M'KINLEY.
NEW MExICO'S DELEGATE
INTRODUCES ROUGH
RIDERS TO THE
PRESIDENT.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Presi-
dent Mckinley today informally
received Il delegation of about
dozen members of the Roosevelt
Rough Riders regiment. The
majority of the delegation were
from New Mexico and were enroute
home. They were all presented
by Delegate Ferguson of
that territory, who stated
that New Mexico had furnish
ed four captains and 40 of
the men constituting the regiment.
Each of the callers was presented
individually to the president, who,
after greeting them personally,
talked with them as a body in an
informal manner. He spoke with
earnest enthusiasm of the work of
the regiment in the Santiago cam
paign, saying he was pleased to
have the opportunity on his own
Behalf and on behalf of the coun-
try at large to thank the regiment.
through the present delegation for
the work it had done,
"Your record is one," he said.
''of which the entire nation is
proud. tell the people who talk
with me about the Rough Riders
that You left the boats in squads
of 20 or 80, inquiring the way to
Santiago, and that you hardly
stopped until you arrived there.
You have not only done we'll, but
| have no doubt that you would all
be willing to again serve your
country in an emergency"
The response was that they
would to a man. I'VE want our
colonel to raise Il brigade instead
of Il regiment next time, said one
of the younger members of the
party. The president also con
graduated the soldiers upon their
good fortune in receiving compe.
tent officers to lead them and met
with hearty response TO all that
he said about Colonel Roosevelt
and General Wood and General
Young The delegation compris-
ed the following members of the
regiment: Captains w. II. H..
Llewellyn, f. Muller, X. &, Day
and NJ. Luna; Lieutenants w. f..
Dame, n. j. II, Carr, Thomas IL.

arise from a proper tariff tax on
foreign wool. We assert our be-
lief that foreign wool is proper sub
iect of tariff taxation, and we SO
interpret the following language
of the Chicago plataform: "We
hold that tariff duties should be
levied for the purpose of revenue,
such duties to be SO adjusted as to
operate equally throughout the
country and not discriminate be-
tween class or section and that tax
alton should be limited to the needs
of the government, honestly and
economically administered" "
We declare that the present tar
if law, known as the DINGHY law,
discriminates unjustly against the
wool growers Of New Mexico in
that it provides Il tariff tax of u
cents per pound upon foreign
woods which compete with woods
grown in the eastern states, notab-
ly the state of Ohio, while the tar
if tax upon foreign woods grown
in New Mexico is but 4 cents per
pound.
Thira-We desire to unite in the
same organization all voters of this
territory who favor legislation by
congress abolishing the doctrine
Of nonlabllity of employers for in
uries to employees occasioned by
negligence of fellow servant engag-
ed IN the same common employment
and we assert our belief that it is
| hopeless to expect to secure such
legislation from the territorial leg
islature SO long as we have a re-
publican governor.
We assert that such legislation
i, demanded by every considera-
ton of humanity and justice.
Fourth We desire also to unite
in the same organization all voters
of the territory of New Mexico
who oppose the repeal of the law
passed by the last legislature re.
ducing the compensation OF eoun
| ty officers, which, hy its terms is
to take effect January I, 1899,
and We hope to pledge all legisla
tive candidates of the democratic
party against such repeal, and in
favor of such revision Of the sale
law as will give just compensation
to the officers of the small couDtie.
without allowing excessive compcr
sation to those of the larger coun
ties of the territory.
Fifth-We desire also to unite
in the same organization all voter,
of the territory who favor the i'm
mediate admission of the territory
of New Mexico as one of the state,
of the Union, and we assert thai
the republican party is responsible
for the failure of New Mexico tC
gain admission to statehood.
Sixlh-We reassert the allegiance
of the democratic party of the ter
ritory of New Mexico to the prin
ciples of the democratic party o
the nation as enunciated in The
Chicago platform in 1896.
While we make no appeal to an,
voter TO sacrifice any principle tC
which he is committed, we yet be
lieye that the democratic party il
the only party to whom the people
of this territory can look for tn,
accomplishment of these result
and we earnestly invite all voter
who place devotion to principle
above the demand of party, I,
unite with US, to attend our prl
maries and to participate N the sc
lection of delegates to our conven
tions, county and territorial

OUR SENSATIONAL ARMY
Mr.. M 'kiNLEYS RE-
SPONSIRlliTY.

issued his first call for volunteers.
He called for 125, 900 men. On
May 25 he issued a second call for
$4,000 more.
When the first call for 125, 900
volunteers was issued Congress
had already authorized the in
crease of the regular army from
26, 61O to 81, 900.
Thus Mr.. Mckinley had 1885,.
900 soldiers when he issued his
second call for 70, 900 volunteers.
Moreover he had already learned
of the utter incapacity of the War
Department to arm, equip, trans
port or in any way properly to
care for the volunteers already en-
listed under the first call. He is
sued his second call in the face of
Gen. Schofeld's declaration that
the lack of system and headship
in the War Department was not
orious in Washington and at the
army posts and had been the sub
ject of remonstrance by him.
There never was a time in the
whole course of the war when the
services of 40, 600 volunteers,
plus the 81, 600 regulars, We're
needed, or when there was the
slightest reason to suppose that
they would be needed. Yet with
three times 40, 900 volunteers and
5, 600 over, plus 81, 900 regulars,
at his disposal, Mr.. Mckinley sent
out his call for Is, 600 more, with
no preparation or apparent care
for their mobilization or use. 1t
appears to have been case of
fright or political afterthought
There never was any necessity for
it. The total strength of the
British Army, at home, in India
and all the colonies with a war 90
ing on in the Soudan that absorbs
Is, 900 troops-i is hut s20, 600 men.
Out of that number India is sup
piled with a garrison of $4,000
troops, and 81, ,0OG more are sta.
toned in the colonies.
Mr.. Mckinley was not content
until he had put 2G0, 900 men un.
der arms-40,000 more than the
strength of the British Army.
And this for a war against poor,
old, impotent Spain, which only
accepted the war to save her
''honor,' and was eager tor quit,
ting, as the surrender by .ToraI
and the sham resistance in Porto
Rico proved.
This mistake of Mr.. M'Kinley's
was the root of all the evil that
has followed. His idea of turn
ing it from quick and SHARP
naval war, into Il long land war,
for which there was no necessity,
was without q shadow of reason.
That there was no occasion fol
such an array of soldiers the
strength of the expenditures actu
ally sent out will show.
There were in all at Santiago
21, 900 troops, of which Is, 00C
were regulars and only 5000
volunteers. At Manila, including
some troops still on the way, are
1000, of which 13, 600 are vol
unteers and only 5000 regulars
The entire number absurdly sem
to Porto Rico against 4,00(
Spaniards was 10000, of which
$500 were regulars.
Thus only 33, 800 volunteers
have been employed in the three
great expeditions which helped tc
confirm the victory won or made
easily certain by the navy. Anc
the navy was always ready, al
ways efficient, always successful
because it was prepared for it

The Omaha EXPOSITION.

When the Worlds Fair at Chicago
ceased to exist, it was supposed that
we should ne'er look upon its
like again. However, the Trans.
Mississippi Exposition at Omaha has
effectively reproduced in similarity
all of the buildings which made the
White City so attractive in 1898.
1t does not now take weeks to
wander through grounds and struc-
lures and then be compelled to go
away with a tumble of ideas, for the
Omaha Exposition people have
profited by past experience, and have
so improved the arrangement of
exhibits that no more than two or
three days of time need be consumed
in admiration and inspection of the
marvellous resources of the West,
collected together in the chief CITY of
Nebraska.
Even the new Midway, is n repro
dnciion of the far-famed Street of All
Nations of 1893, with many improve
ments upon the original.
The electric lighting Of the build
makes q scene of enchanting beauty,
alone worth travelling thousand
miles to see.
The means of communication be-
tween the city and the grounds are
ample, and the distance to be
traversed is short.
The ways of reaching Omaha are
innumerable, but chief among them
is the direct Chicago and Omaha
short line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
v ST. Paul Railway, with its electric
lighted, vestibuled trains. Dining
