Some Of the Conditions Necessary
to Perfect Health.

The importance OF maintaining GOOD
health is easily understood, and it Is really
a simple matter IL we take correct view
OF the conditions required. In perfect
health the stomach promptly digests food
and thus prepares nourishment. The
blood is employed to carry this nourish-
ment to the organs, nerves, muscles and
tissues which need it. The first great
essential for good health, therefore, IL
pure, rich blood. Now it is certainly q
fact that no medicine has such

Have not Complained.
albuquerque Citizen.)

Three of the newspaper editors of this
city sent their sons to the war with
Spain in Roosevelt's regiment. These
boys took part in all the land fights In
Cuba. One was wounded at La Quasina;
another had the yellow fever, and the
last and j%olliest one nearly fell dead the
other evening in New York watching
the scenes in the Bowery. Neither OF
them had complained about the rations
or the treatment received from officers;
neither have they boosted about what
they have done. At La Quasina one of
the boys was sergeant of a firing squad
of nine men, and came out of the fight
inside the Spanish trenches with one
man killed and four wounded. At San
Juan heights two of the boys mentioned
reached the top of the hill together
among the first. T
We are not speaking of these boys to
praise them, but to show that the howl
about the bad treatment OF the. soldiers
in Cuba is false. 1t is true that during
the battle of Santiago at times rations
were scarce, but this is one Of the ex-
igencies of war, and is expected among
soldiers. The boy who had yellow fever
wrote on his recovery that he had re.
ceived every care and attention. The
t%estimoney of these boys is of more value
than that of editorial writer's who never
saw a battle, or suffered in q hospital.

Tabernacle Condolences.

Those who look for condolences will be
interested In knowing that the day before
the burning of Surgeons tabernacle, in
London, during the pastors college con
ference, Charles Sturgeon read the twelfth
chapter Of Hebrews, containing the phrase,
For ye are not come unto the mount that
might be touched and that burned with
fire" and concluding, For u God Is .
consuming fire. His brother, Thomas
Spurgeon, entitled his presidential ad-
dress, mo Strange Fire" while one Of
the questions that had been addressed to
the conference In a circular had been,
docs the fire burn brightly on the altars"
Tho Rev. John McNeill, the missioner,
who was due at the tabernacle next week,
used ~ his motto for his Sundays leo
ture, Turn and burn" a phrase borrowed
from Baxter. But perhaps the most ex-
traordinary coincidence Of all IL the appar-
emit fulfllment Of the prediction in Old
Moore's Almanack; About the middle Of
the month (April) the destruction of a To-
nous building by ars may be expected.

Comparisons may be odious, but they
often serve to call attention to the diff
ference in the manner of doing business,
and the state of the gold reserve in the
treasury at this time shows the differ
ence of that important matter of ma
tional finances under Democratic and
Republican administrations. Under
Cleveland's second administration, when
the Democrats were in power in both
branches of congress, the gold reserve
reached TIL, low figure of $44, 900, 900,
and it was found necessary to borrow
millions in order to pay the expenses of
the government in times of peace. I'm
der President Mckinley, when every
branch of the government is Republican
the amount of the gold reserve has
reached the enormous sum of S219, $780,
900. The condition of the national
treasury under a Democratic admins
tration was the direct result of a foolish
an" impractical policy of free trade; the
present condition is the result of a pol
icy of protection and sound business
sense used in administering the affairs
of the country.

Increase OF the Army.

The latest proposition relative to the
increase Of the United States army is to
increase the artillery regiments from
seven to fourteen. Until last winter it
was impossible to secure any increase
beyond the five regiments that had been
in the service for years, and 1T was not
until it became apparent to the con-
gressional mind that wal with Spain
was inevitable, did the military commit
tee of the house succeed in having the
number of artillery regiments augment
ed.
But the remarkably changed condi-
tions now demand that this increase be
itself further enlarged. The coast de-
lenses of the United States are being
developed as never before; heavy or
dinance of complicated description is
being placed at the exposed points on
both coasts of the United States, and
besides, there are Cuba, Puerto Rico,
Hawaii, the Ladrone islands and the
Philippines to care for in a military way.
The result is that the army of the United
States can no longer be confined to a
little handful of $4,000 men as in the
past, but a permanent armament of 75,-
900 to 100, 900 men is demanded. Con-
gress and the country at large are real
izing this, and the way is being steadily
prepared for charging the present size
of the army, to keep pace with the navy.
Probabilities point to an increase of
the infantry arm of the service to 40
regiments of from 1000 to 1900 men
each; an enlargement of the cavalry
arm of the service from the present ten
cavalry regiments to Is with 200 men
each, and the increase of the artillery
commands from Z to IA, as indicated
with 1000 to 1,40O men to a regiment.
This will give a very respectfully sized
army. The three battalion system of
regimental organization in the infantry
regiments adopted during the late un-
pleasantness with Spain has evidently
come to stay. Foryears, army officers have
striven for this, with ex-senator Man
derson to lead the way in congress, but
the way seemed perpetually blocked an
til the war came, and then the knot Of
difficulty was severed very quickly. The
cavalry and artillery arms of the service
have had the three battalion organiza-
ton ''from time immemorial."
One change in the artillery branch
ought to be insisted on, and that is the
separation of the light from the heavy
artillery. In European armies there
are no light batteries merged in with
the heavy artillery as in this country,
but are organized in regiments BY them
selves. 1t has a d~isorganizing, deteri-
Grating effect on the men to mix
them up in light and heavy batteries.
Keep them in either the one or the
other.
The matter of this increase will 0ccu-
by a fair share of congressional atten-
ton this winter, and extended changes
will be made.

on the ground of necessity. 1t is safe
to say that had the board refused to pay
the collector and assessor the commits
sions provided by law to be paid upon
taxes collected by the collector, there
never would have been any attachments
made by the board.
1t is also known that in two or three
instances the court house gang actually
suggested to big tax payers, who were
ready and willing to pay their taxes in
cash, that if they would buy their GER
tificates of Indebtedness that their taxes
would be abated rs per cent. Let this
immaculate board deny this If they dare.
Let the Optic howl against the editor of
this paper for showing up the official
r%ottenness of the officials of that county.
When the grand jury meets probably it
will not be difficult to subpoena a few
witnesses with letters written by certain
San Miguel officials which will show
that these officials made direct PROPOSE
lions to big tax payers to abate their
taxes provided the tax payers would
purchase from certain persons their GER
tifcates of indebtedness at a discount
and that these would be allowed at par
in the payment of taxes.
Nobody can compel these tax payers
to publish these letters but a grand Jury
can secure them and the crowd of bene-
ficaries of San Miguel official corruption
will get a chance to tell what they know
about settlements with the county
board.
One of the latest deals with the board
was hat of the settlement with n OF
the biggest taxpayers in the county
and the true inwardness of that agree
ment will be ventilated in due time.
If the San Miguel board and their
advisers in Las Vegas think that
this matter will be overlooked, they are
much in error and it shall be demon
strated whether rottenness under the
guise of public necessity shall obtain
and an open and direct violation of the
laws be permitted by the gang OF
p%lunderers who dominate in San Miguel.
The Optic thinks this paper is med
ding. The same old excuse. The
devil once said that all he wanted was
to be left alone. The shouters and
howlers of East Las Vegas will probably
learn after awhile that the courts are
not now being run for the particular
benefit of the Union party nor any OF
its beneficiaries. Justice will now be
administered for the benefit of all the
people and not for any particular politi-
cal clique who were able under the last
administration not only to get opinions
from a Judge of the Supreme court upon
questions not before him for judicial de-
termination but also to get any kind of
an opinion wanted in order to meet the
demands of a gang of political blood
suckers whose sole object was spoils
and political supremacy.

The opposition in the ranks of the

give rise to another civic organization in

enlisted in the army the past year are
