Cost OF Special Election.

1t will interest the members of the
legislature TO know how much their
counties will be taxed to hold q spec
lal election for Congressman in the
event that traitor Newlands should be
elected to succeed Stewart.
Taking as basis the special cleo
ton on tho lottery law in 1889, a very
approximate. estimate of the cost can
be reached.
In tue statutes of 1889 we find on
page Il an appropriation of $4,000.
On page "a, an additional appropri-
alton OF S4,587. In the statutes of
1891, page ]25, au act will be found to
reimburse certain counties for mon
eys expended in the special election
which appropriates S3.27782. In tue
statutes Of 1893. page 81, another ap-
preparation for a like purpose was
made, amounting to S247.8O, making
in the aggregate S25,2OO.
This election was held without a
special registration, which would be
absolutely. necessary in a Congress
sional election. The registration of
10000 voters at d cents a name
would cost $4,000 Then 10 ust be ad.
ded the cost Of printing the names of
voters, publication Of mott ces of cleo
ton, oa'lote, messengers and dozen
other things. 1t is safe to say that it
would cost not less than 100000.
And for what purpose should the
counties be called upon to spend this
great sum Of money, and what benefit
would the people derive from it?
Would it not be to. simply CRAFTY the
yaulting ambition Of q man who has
already been honored by the people
OF Nevada far above his deserts? II
Newlands has any claim on the vari.
Gus counties, either for services rem
dered or to be rendered., to compel
them to incur this large expenditure
in the present impoverished condi-
ton let him state it.--Carson Appeal.

Aquinaldo Scents Doodle.

Judging from the mercenary char
acter Of Aguinaldo he has been fighting,
or rather hanging out only with q view
to maintaining possession of the 1,500
Spanish priests and civilians held by
him and for whose ransom he has de-
manded $40, 900, 900 from Spain. AS
500 as it was evident that Spain was
going to receive $40, 900, 900 and that the
United States would seek the surrender
of the prisoners, Ag linaldo put in his
little bill for half of the money Spain
would receive from her late foe. At the
same time he and his forces cut loose
from the Americans and began war.
So far he has accomplished the reten-
ton of the prisoners, and has taken a
few Americans, carefully keeping the
latter without personal injury, in the
hope of turning them over at a good
figure when the final settlement comes.
As soon as the dispatches announced
that the $50, OOO, 900 would be paid to
Spain this week, Aguinaldo's emissaries
were sent into the American camp to
see whether a bargain could be made.
If they had found the Americans dis
posed to compromise by recognizing the
Filipino congress, a bonus would have
been asked. The demand will doubtless
be made later. The money given Spain
and the Cuban army inspired hope in
Aguinaldo's covetons mind

OLD SCORE SETTLED.


The Young Lady Was IL Joker, and
the Boys Got Even.
II don't know who proposed the
thing" said the young man who was
telling the story, "but that doesn't mat
ter. There were six of US together one
night last week, and when some one
suggested that we go and call upon a
certain young lady the idea took.
I'VE elaborated the plan somewhat
on our way there. We agreed to go in
one by one and while there to look
upon Il another not only as strangers,
but interlope1s as well. 1t was a villain
Gus thing to do, but the girl is some
what of a joker herself, and we all had
an old score to pay off,
"We carried out the idea to perfec-
ton. | was the first to call, and the
girl said she was glad to see me. Before
she had time to say anything else All
other young man was ushered in. She
was glad to see him too. But when tho
third young man arrived she was some.
what confused and stammered a little
over her welcome.
"The bell rang at intervals, and each
time a young man was ushered in by
the grinning maid.
""To cap the climax a strange young
man, who knew nothing of the plot,
CHANGED to call.
"Then the fun began. We sat around
the room and glared at one another as
much as to say, What the dickens are
you doing here?'
1.-THE strange young man stood it ex.
actly ten minutes. Then he fled, with
the excuse that he had suddenly remem.
bered an important engagement.
"The conversation was short and dis.
jointed. We addressed all our remarks
to the young lady, who got red and
white by turns as she %endeavored to
keep six conversations going at one
time, for not by a word or sign did any
one let on that be was aware that any
one was in the room but the young lady
and himself.
"When we had stood it as long as wa
could without laughing, we solemnly
took our leave n by one, with a part.
ing glare at those remaining.
"Since then the young lady has been
doing a good deal Of thinking, but I
understand that she is unable to make
up her mind whether it was a joke or
only a strange coincidence.
but the strange young man, who
has failed to call again, is no joke"

The bidding for $50, 900 territorial
capitol bonds yesterday shows the ex-
cellent standing New Mexico has ac-
quired in the east, where so many tinan-
ciers are eager to pay a good premium
on bonds bearing only 4 per cent inter
est. The time was not long ago when
the bonds would scarcely have brought
a premium had they borne 5 per cent.
These offers prove that since New Mex
leo has gone into the Republican ranks
again and become prosperous under
the general improvement all along the
line. due to the Republican measures,
her credit is first-class. They also show
that the complaints and %innucndos of
some of the insurgent press against the
territorial administration and legisla-
ture have no weight with the business
element, or the obligations of the terri
tory would not bring a premium in the
money centerS.

Newspaper Secrets Sacred.

Physicians and lawyers have long
been exempted from revealing conf
dences made to them professionally. The
Maryland legislature recently enacted a
law extending the same protection to
newspaper men called into court as
witnesses in relation to facts procured
for Il newspaper. The law applies to
proceedings before a legislative commit
tee as well as in court. This is at it
should be. A newspaper serves public
interests by hunting information that
could not otherwise be obtained and
which individuals would often withhold
from the press if reporters were com
PEELED to disclose the ourcc from which
the facts were obtained. A newspaper
is generally fearless enough to publish
matters of public interest and take the
consequences, where individuals are
often in such positions that they dare
not be known as having given out ill.,
formation. 1t is wise policy for the law
to protect the press and its agencies of
information, while holding the publish
ers themselves responsible to injured
parties and to criminal courts for errors
and malicious statements.

Selection OF a Speaker.

The Importance of the speakership of
the house of representatives is indicated
by the general discussion going on
in the leading newspapers as to the To-
cality from which Mr.. Reeds successor
shall come. Only IA states have had the
honor of furnishing a speaker. Ken
lucky, Virginia and Massachusetts, have
each had four speakers, or II of the SO.
New York has had only one, John w.
Taylor. who served two terms, the lat
ter ending in 1887. Virginia's four
speakers, Barbour, Stevenson. Hunter,
and Jones, have been pretty generally
forgotten, while Kentucky's four, Clay,
White, Boyd, and Carlisle, have made a
lasting impression on the great Office.
Varnum was the only Massachusetts
speaker who served two terms. Sedg-
wick, Winthrop and Banks were each
in Office only one term.
New England has had, beside these
four. three other speakers, Blaine and
Reed, of Maine, and Trumbull, of Con-
necticut. Pennsylvania has had three
speakers, Muhlenberg, Grow, and Ran
dali. New Jersey has had Dayton and
Pennington. OF the 32 speakers, Is
have come from states south of Mason
and Dixon's line. These include, be-
sides Kentucky and Virginia, two each
from Tennessee, South Carolina. and
Georgia, and one from North Carolina.
The west has had only four speakers.
one from Ohio, Keifer, and three from
Indiana. Davis. Colfax, and Kerr.
James K. Polk is the only speaker of
the house who ever became president of
the United States.

New Mexico is invited to join in an
other organization for the Advancement
of mutual interests. At Los Angeles
the Southern Commercial Congress has
been established. Southern California,
Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mex
leo are to be eligible. These districts
have many interests of a similar nature,
such as mining, irrigation and sugar
making. Business and commercial in

promoted by such union. New Mexico
is ready to help and receive help from
such an organization.

A New Mexico town with too much
water seems an anomaly but there is
one in that condition. The town trus-
tees of Roswell have passed a resolution
requesting owners of artesian wells to
shut off the flow when the water Is not
being used for irrigation or other pur-
poses. The waste accumulates in low
places and makes drainage of the
streets necessary. There are hundreds
of the wells in town and on many of the

The Samoan islands are not large
enough to be worth a controversy so
far as this big country is concerned. but
they have Importance because they are
on a direct line from the proposed
Nicaragua canal to the Philippines.
When Greater America is doing busl-
ness in the Philippine islands the sa-
moan port will come in handy for a
coaling station for men-of-war and com
mercial steamers. The islands have an
area of 1 Zoo square miles. So far ma.
ture has produced nothing there in par
ticular except cocoanuts and cocoa-nut
headed natives to the number OF $4,000,
who have raised nothing but a pestifer-
Gus species of hades and an original
variety of kings.
