an Investigation, has he any idea how long
Il would take him to get through the
thou.apds of pages if he were to continue
day and night until he was through!
Aud il he were to do such a-thin9 could
not accept his decision, for in the first
place never heard that he was authority
on the words and tunes OF any music
sufficient to be considered competent

and again he says. "Early Methodism
being the outcome of a revolt against the
formality of the English church It IS
quite natural that Methodists should
have ps,d little or no attention to the
purely melodious side OF their service.
They distinctly avoid the beautiful
chant, the Gloria, and the Te Deum. "
"Methodism being the outcome OF a revolt
against the formality." That is a new
page, but not in our history. l5 was n
ssrevolt" against unrighteousness, every
where or anywhere, anu Is yet. we stand
for the same to- day we have always stood
for, and that is u thorough work of di-
vine grace in the human heart.
! can not see how any one knowing any
thing of the Methcdists can say they paid
little attention to the purely melodions,
when remember the books l saw my
father use when but child, which were
the same kind used by the first Metho-
dsts, have heard the Methodists Sing
the beautiful chant, the Gloria and the
TIE Deum too, as they were meant to be
sung. Does he not know that some OF
the most melodious music is to be hearc
in our church. The man that sings the
most purely ;pelodious is the soundly con-
verted man, not with his knowledge of
music.
And again he says, "There seems to
hs We been Intelligence and discrimination
exercised in compiling the Hymnal (what
hymnal he does not state,) but in all the
other songs books there IS a N ass of pu-
Grille, trashy, inappropriate stuff that is
disgrace to progressive aud sensible
Christianity Every one is not so i'm
pressed. We will admit that some of it
is hut some of the hymns that are called
"puerile and trashy" will live when our
critic is forgotten; and when he gets to
heaven he will meet people that we're

Facts About the Spaniards.

Editor Springfield Republican,
/. How old is the "litte king OF
Spain, and how old must he be to take
the throne?
2. Was the Princess Eulalie who came
to this country in 1893 his sister, if not.
who was she?
8. Are either Of his sisters married,
and il so to whom, if Of another nation
4. Who is Don Carlos and what claim
has he to the throne?
8. Is Weyler Spaniard? His name
surely is not Spanish. D.
Springfield, April 20.
leS" /. He will be IL years old May
II, and at 81 he will assume the respon-
sibiities of kingship, if all goes well in
the mean time.
2. She was his fathers sister.
3. No, according to the Amanach de
Gotha OF 1896
4. Ferdinand VII, king of Spain, who
died in 1888, had younger brother, Don
Carlos, who, according to the Sale law,
which had been enacted by the Cortes
and which excludes females from hrone,
was the heir presumptive OF Ferdinand.
| In 1850 the KING had daughter Dorn,
Isabella, and by decree he settled the
succession upon her in defiance OF the
Sale law. As soon as Ferdinand died
civil war broke out between the support
ers OF Don Carlos and those OF Isabella.
Don Carlos was defeated. and his de-
scendants ever since have been pretenders
to the Spanish throne. The present pre-
tender is the grandson of the brother OF
Ferdinand, il we are not mistaken.
5. Weyler is Spaniard. He gets his
name from a German family, but his an
cestors have been in Spain for some 200
years or more. 1t is not uncommon Tor
the statesmen or generals of a country to
have foreign names. The present Ger
man minister of finance, DR.. Miguel, is OF
French descent, and the name oil Disraeli
was anything but English.- Springfield

is no small amount, III fact, il was
certainly s., 900 900 last year, and this is
a very conservative estimate. The
claiming of everything in this line by
the Denver papers may be a fair illus
tration of Colorado nerve, but it is UNI
fair all the same, and they should be
called down. If Il United States mint
were established at Santa Fe and all
the gold sent here from southern Colo
RADIO was made to figure as New Mex
leo output, the Denver papers would
fairly tear up the earth in anathema-
tizing the unlawful claims of the New
Mexico press, and hold the same up to
public obloquy as samples of local por-
cine nature and devotion to Ananias
and Saphira. But. then, it makes all
the difference in the world whose OK is
being gored, and in the Colorado eye
what is u for the Colorado goose
may not be sauce for the New Mexico
gander. The New Mexico press would
well to call the over-enterprising
Denver papers to account for this over
stepping of propriety's bounds. and call
for a square deal.

has ordered 20 locomotives from Amer
lean builders. The machines are to be
of the regulation American pattern and
will be used for freight service. Tt GER
tainly seems that the policy of protec-
ton is not restricting trade with for
eign nations to any great extent. In
addition to the order for engines for
the English road. one firm of engine
builders has just shipped q locomotives
to Japan for Use or different roads in

America said: ''Tt is a condition, not
a theory which confronts the free
traders. and that condition promises to
become more embarrassing than ever

work of digging trenches by the troop

ing of the wounded and men wearing
the Red Cross emblem by Spanish
sharpshooters and other matters con-
nected with the days which inter-
Vened between the battle and the cap
ture of the city are given in detail. In
speaking of the Spanish s~harpshooters
Colonel Roosevelt says:
THE Spanish guerrillas were very
active, especially in u rear, where
they seemed by preference to attack
the wounded men who We're being car
ried on filters. the doctors and medical
attendants with Red Cross badges on
their arms, and the burial parties. |
organized a detail Of sharpshooters
and sent them out after these guerril-
las, of whom they killed 10. Two of the
men thus killed We're shot several hours
after the truce had been in operation,
because, in spite of this fact, they kept
firing upon our men as they went to
draw water. They We're stationed in
the trees, as the guerrillas were gener-
ally among the dense foliage, and the
use of smokeless powder rifles made it
an exceedingly difficult matter to To-
cate them"
The report is highly commendatory
of the men in the regiment and con-
firms everything that has been said
concerning the bravery, fortitude and
exemplary conduct of the Rough Rid
ers, and the report made by the COM
handing officer only adds to the glory
they achieved. Tt is to be hoped that the
first annual reunion of the regiment
will be held in Santa Fe, that the men
and officers surviving may be shown
the appreciation and esteem in which
they are held by the people of the ter
ritOry.

MONDAY, 26.

The attitude of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been con-
sistent on the question of the admission
of the territory as a state. We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
it's admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and principles.-Republican
Platform, New Mexico, 1898.
