more are on the way, The occupation Of
Cuba and Porto Rico Is now only a mat
ter of a few days. The modern Spanish
Armada is securely blocked up in the
Santiago harbor, and thereby rendered
harmless, and unless Admiral Cervera
adopts heroic measures and d destroys his
own ships they must in a short time be-
come the property of the United States,
and will be added to the American navy.
The freedom of the Cubans and the
end Of a rule of diabolical suppress
sion and suffering on the western
continent is in sight. A better and
brighter day is dawning for the people
who for years have striven to throw off
the yoke that was both hateful and
cruel, and peace and happiness is in
sured for them. All these things have
been accomplished in less than two
months; what more could be asked by
any nation of greater Impotence than
the people of the United States.
With the investment and capture of
Santiago de Cuba must come overtures
for peace from Spain. Their fleet will
be gone, the seas will be liable to the OPP
erations of the American fleets, and the
coasts of Spain will be open to attack by
the warships of this country. Helpless
and bankrupt, the monarchy must sub
NIT to the inevitable, national honor
Notwithstanding.

Governor Otero as a Gar.

Somebody in Ration is red hot under
the collar because Governor Otero has
appointed Nh. Joseph B. Schroeder to
be a county commissioner of Colfax
county, n of the men elected as such
commissioner, j. F. Ruffner, never hav-
ing legally qualified. This red=hot-un-
der-the-collar man sends the following
dispatch to the Denver News:
Ration, N. M, June ct is believed
here that the governor has taken this
action for no other reason than that
Ruffner is a Democrat. In several cases
Governor Otero has done this same
thing, and the people are getting tired
Of having their elective officials removed
by the presidents appointee.
1.-THE people will resist this assumption
of authority to the bitter end and will
| give the governor to understand that he
is not yet czar of New Mexico"
To the average citizen of the territory
who knows anything of the laws of the
territory, and existing conditions, this
is funny reading. Governor Otero sim
| ply followed the plain letter of the stat
| ute in the case.
Ruffner, elected in November, 1896,
| had not furnished a bond as the law
required and as soon as this matter was
brought to the governors notice he
acted and filled the vacancy thus exist
ing. Right here it is well to remember,
that the Democratic governor of the
territory, Thornton, three years ago,
did exactly the same thing and removed
two Republican county commissioners
in Dona Ana county upon the charge,
that they had not legally qualified and
had not furnished the bonds required by
law and of course appointed Democrats
to fill these vacancies.
Furthermore Governor Otero has not
removed a single elective or ap-
pointive officer since taking Office.
The changes so far have all been
made to fill vacancies caused by resig-
nations or death, except in the case OF
Judge A. B. Fall, as solicitor general,
wherein Governor Otero held that Fall
was ineligible to hold the Office under
the organic law of the territory.
Right here it might as well be re-
marked, and that with absolute truth,
that there are territorial, penitentiary
and county officials, who deserve re-
moval, but they are u%ndisturbed because
the law is not exactly clear in such cases
and because the governor and his legal
advisor are law abiding and careful Off
cials.
This is in great contrast to the doings
under the last Democratic administra-
ton, where both elective and appointive
officers were removed, not because the
law authorized it, but because might was
right and because Republicans felt,
that but scant justice was to be had
from a majority Of the Democratic
judges in this territory, where Republi-
cans were concerned.

Must Submit 10 tho Inevitable.

UP to the present time, despite the
criticisms of local boards of strategy
and warriors who never smelt powder,
the war situation seems to be tolerably
satisfactory, and the general result has
been attained without any loss of life to
speak Of.
In the Philippines the Spanish feet
has been wiped out entirely and in a few
days, so o as the transports lldened
with troops and munitions can reach
Manila, the subjugation of the greatest
possession of Spain will be assured. In
Cuba many Notifications and batteries
have either been totally destroyed or rem
dered useless by the fire from American
cannon, troops have been landed and

The Oregon Election.

The result of the state election in Ore
gon, held on Monday, is in almost every
way a surprise to those who have been
watching the trend of politics in that
state. The free silver sentiment was
supposed to be quite strong, and in ad-
dition to that there was a fusion of the
Democrats, Populists and free silver Re-
publicans against the straight Republi-
can ticket; in the city Of Portland, the
one Republican stronghold, the Repub-
leans were divided and two tickets
were, in the field, thus dividing the
strength of the party. Taking into
consideration all the circumstances the
fusionists had every reason to feel san
guine of the result of the voting.
That result. however, proved to be a
sweeping victory for the Republicans
and the principles Of protection and
sound money. The Republican ticket
was elected from top to bottom by
ldIScly luCICdoCu "uJoliOito ONoI UlC
returns of the elections of two years
ago, and when the legislature con-
venes next winter a Republican SEN
ator will be sent to the United States
senate to fill the vacancy caused by the
failure to have an election by the last
legislature.
The result of the Oregon election no
more decides the outcome of the gen.
eral election this fall than one swallow
makes a summer, but like the coming of
the lone and lonesome bird at the break
ing up of winter, it forshadows the CON-
ing event. Taking everything in con
sideration, the apparent chances in
Oregon favored the election of the
fusionist ticket. The anti dministra-
tionists made a determined fight to start
the ball rolling against the Republican
party and were in high hopes that the
first blow to protection would be given
by the heretofore high protection state
OF Oregon. In that effort they failed,
and their failure is indicative Of the
feeling Of the people all over the Union.
