Identical with those which entered into

The Work of the New Mexican.
Roswell Register.)

We reproduce in this issue pat of an
editorial l.: the New Mexican, of Feb.
ruary 3. We regard it both remarkable
and significant. The position of the
New Mexican is such that when it turns
the %searchlight upon anything in the
southwest, there is no escaping the
truth. The fairness, candor and abso-
lutte sincerity of the greatest daily in the
west, in a matter of this sort, where it
cannot possibly have the slightest pri-
vate interest, is beyond all question. As
remarked by the Record last summer,
however, it is a distinguishing mark of
the New Mexican that 1t is large enough
to recognize merit anywhere, and brave
enough to speak the truth when the
real interests OF the country. orany part
Of it, so require. The editorial in ques-
tion is worthy of a great paper. and the
is worthy of an honest editor.

/ FLAG LAW IS INVALID.
Judge Gibbons Denies COnstftutt0n.
gF nlity Of the Act-Hits at the In
+- .. formers Fee.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The Illinois flag
law, which has provided litigation since
its passage and led to numerous arrests,
was declared unconstitutional by j Judge
Gibbons Saturday in a lengthy opinion
deciding the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by j. J., Hartigan, proprietor
OF the Glasgow Woolen Mills, who was
arrested for its violation.
In unmistakable terms the jurist de-
clares that the informer's fee clause in
the flag act is against the spirit of
American law, as tending to provoke
strife and ill-will between man and
man. The decision turns on this point,
the court holding that the power grant
ed by the constitution to the governor
OF the state to pardon offenders and re-
NIT fines and penalties is in conflict
with the statute which guarantees to
the informer a share of the fine.
This phaseEof the question of the con
stitutionality of the act has been uncon-
sidered heretofore in the courts in the
various rulings made since the passage
ut the flag act. The decision is regard
ed with interest by the bar, as it is con-
sidered the first instance in the history
OF Illinois Jurisprudence where the fact
that a part of the fine imposed for the
violation of an act has been given to the
lnformer has been used in questioning 9
the validity of the statute.

from Tarlac. Is

Washington, Nov. 6.-Gen. Otis is be
lieved to have begun a new campaig gn
one that in energy and rapidity will un-
doubtedly throw all other land opera
tions by our troops into the back
ground. Advices received Saturday
from the general indicate that a move
ment all along the line was ordered for
November 5 and 6. If there has been
no change in plans since these dis
patches came---and this is not likely
the initial move by our forces has al
ready taken place.
1t was decided to make the advance
at this time not only because5the roads
are now in fair condition, but for the
more important reason that the enemy
is scattering into small bands, and the
desire is to meet and crush them before
they get too far into the mountains.
Aguinaldo is reported to have fewer
than 5000 men with him. Whether this
means that there is general disinte-
grafton from his ranks or a new
strategical move in the direction of a
guerrilla warfare remains to be seen.
Gen. Otis, in his dispatches to Secre-
tary Root, takes the optimistic view
that the men are scattering because
they are tired of the war and that their
