A little brush that has developed
into an assault ana battery case in
court was INDUCED in at the feed store
adjoining the laundry, one day last
week. 1t seems that Herbert Godfrey
had grievance against h. j. Ross
proprietor of the laundry, relative to
one of the cuffs on "a colored shirt
which he thought was injured while
being Numbered and had asked Ross
to make it right several times. Ross
claimes the damage, il any, was so
slight as not to be worth the time of
talking about it but that Godfrey kept
nagging away at him until forbearance
ceased to be virtue and on the oc-
casion IN question gave cause to tip
him over into a feed bin and sprinkle
corn in his face while his feet were in
the air. Herbert didn't like such
actions and had him arrested before

Mixture That Brought Harm.

The Populist-D Democratic administra-
ton of Union county was unable to pay
the county officers compensation for
their services in all cases. The county
was run on an e%Htravagant basis and ex-
penses incurred needlessly, it is stated.
The present Republican board of county
commissioners and officers were elected
to get affairs into better shape and have
succeeded in doing so. Although the
commissioners reduced the tax levy ST.
on the 500 valuation the current en-
penses are being paid on a cash basis
without discount, and the board has
about arranged for paying the amounts
owing to the old officials. Amy board
which accomplishes such a result de-
serves praise from the people, no mat
ter what the politics OF the body may be-
But somehow it seems that Democratic
Populist combinations never do what
they are expected to do, and it is SOM
level headed set of Republicans gencr
ally who have to straighten out thu
tangled affairs the incompetent fusion
lists leave. Politics, like Kentucky
juice, is generally the least Harmful
| when taken straight.

Some Of the Breed Here.

At the LAYING of a cornerstone in Dub
lin last week for the Parnell statue pro-
Boer resolutions were adopted and
cheers given for gallant old Kruger"
There were Irish members of parliament
in the h%urrahing and the government is
talking of prosecuting them for treason.
There are a few of the same breed OF
traitors in this country, but they repre-
sent no race nor section, and but them
selves. The only people who might re-
vengefully feel like seeing the United
States army whipped because it was
once used, as the southern people then
thought to Cypress them are notinclined
that way and are helping the govern
ment float the flag and whip it's enemies.
They are among the warmest in cheer
ing the administration on to triumph
ant maintenance of the country's honor.
1t is elsewhere than among the former
malcontents of the south that one must
look to find men mean enough to wish
disaster to the army of the Union, or
for such traitors as the Dublinites who
can cheer the chief of an opposing enc
my. Chicago, Boston, and Cincinnati
are the black spots where such traitors
have shown their heads, and they have
not been found at any place in number
sufficient to be regarded as more than

Beers Have German Sympathy,

When the Boer burghers gave a drub-
bling to Jameson's raiders Emperor Will
liam of Germany. sent a red hot tele-
gram to President Kruger congratulate
ing him and intimating that Germany
would stay by him if England attempt
ed to gobble any African territory.
England was disposed to resent this
threat from the grandson of their queen
but being as it was him, the matter was
overlooked. At the present juncture
the emperor, who is not quite so brash
as he was a few years ago, has not
braced up the old president and is APP
parently trying to avoid getting into a
family row. In Germany, subscriptions
to aid the Beers are being raised ut
public meetings. 1t is not regarded as
probable that the German government
will become involved in the war, but it
is possible that if England drives too
hard a bargain when the time for peace
arrives Germany may intervene as a
mutual friend or interested neighbor.

Where AguinaIdo Looks for Help.

Aguinaldo does not car a Filipino
whistle for the Chicago platform but he
has a decided preference for the success
of Colonel Bryan and all who like him
desire to see the United States take a
back track In the matter of expansion.
A proclamation recently issued to the
insurgents by their leader shows that a
belief that the anti-administration or
Bryan Democrats will surrender the is
lands to the Tagal warriors, is the main
stay of the tribe which is now warning
against the American army. The pro-
clamation of the insurgent chief who
looks for relief in this country is as fol-
lows:
In America there is a great party
that insists upon the government rec
ognizing Filipino independence. That
party will control the United States to
fulfil the promises made to US in all
solemnity and good faith though not
put into writing.
Therefore WI must show our graft
tude and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should pray
to God that the great Democratic party
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1899-10-14

may win the next presidential election
and Imperialism fall in its mad attempt
to %subjugate us by force of arms.
Some kind friend of the deceived dict
ator should give him a tip that Colonel
Bryan and his party cannot carry the
United States upon the anti-eXpansion
issue, nor upon any other, and that if
they did succeed in getting control of
the government they would scarcely
dare to surrender any of the advantages
this country has acquired through the
war.
No nation ever yet voluntarily surren-
dered any territory bought with money
or blood of her citizens and none ever
will. That which men have fought for
and won becomes endeared to them and
when in addition to this, the vanquished
have been paid for a quit claim, rights
of squatters are not worth weighing, at
least until they acknowledge other
ownership and ask for privileges. of the
owners, who would be both Just and
generous.

Aim, Not Faith Needed.

Kruger prays to God to make the aim
of the British bullet poor and Boer lead
to travel true to the mark. Aguinaldo
asks his murderous followers to pray
that Americans may vote right, that is
according to his idea, for the Democrat
ic party. He breads votes as he breads
American bullets, but many Democrats
are working the triggers that start the
lead after him, and so will many. Demo-
Gratis put ballots where Agninaldo does
not wish them to go. The churchman
and the savage alike may pray for his
God to look out for the proper DISPOSE
ton of bullets and ballots but the peo-
pie who rely upon themselves to win
sa%nguinary and political battles are the
ones most likely to score. Having d
quarrel just is not going to make right
triumph without those who are In the
r;gnt depend upon their W aim and
energy, even If they have some faith on
the side.

Will Have Good Government.

President Mckinley, who knows the
spirit of the American people, shows his
confidence in the justice of congress
when speaking of the future of the Fill
pino people, he says:
"They will not be governed as vassals
serfs or slaves: they will be given a gov
eminent Of liberty, regulated by law
honestly administered, without oppres-
sion or exacting taxation, without tyran-
ny or injustice, without bride: education
without distinction in social conditions,
freedom of religious worship and the
protection of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness"
Does any body believe that if left
alone by the United States the Filipinos
would be able to establishment and
maintain such a government as the
president says America will create and
maintain?

UNARMED MAN SHOT.
His Slayer Received Two Bullets from Of
fcers' Guns.

Carl Reigle, a miner employed at Rose
dale, Socorro county, a mining camp
west of San Marcial, was killed Thurs
day by Tom Martin, another miner. The
murdered man was unarmed.
Martin was drunk the night before
with a miner named Kerven, who had
been discharged by the Martin company.
and the murderer blamed Reigle for
causing Kerven to lose his job, it is said.
took up his quarrel. Martin and Ker-
ven were together when they met Reggie
going to work. Martin engaged Reggie
in conversation, and soon angry words
were passing. Martin, it is said, GOV
cred Reigle with his Winchester, and
for fully five minutes the latter circled
about Martin, in the hope of getting
away from the enraged man. Mean
time Martin kept calling to a miner in
a nearby cabin, named Whited, TO come
out. Whited's refusal to respond caused
the death of Reigle, for without further
remarks Martin pressed the trigger, and
Reigle fell, shot through the lungs, from
side to side, and almost instantly eX-
pired.
Martin sought safety in flight and de-
fed anyone to arrest him. j. ii. Tweed,

refused to surrender and was pulling

he was made a prisoner.

The big steel companies that were
selling steel rails at $40 per ton two
years ago are o paying S22.5 0 per ton
for pig iron to make into rails. Not
~withstanding the high figures railway
companies are now paying for material,
the future, outlook for business is so
good that rarely has there been more
mileage planned for construction at this
eason of the year than at present. Not
only is business promising but capital to
build new railway lines is abundant.
Capitalists are looking forward to at
least a few years of uninterrupted bust

gerous because there is no likelihood of

Washington Matrimonial Agencies.

The diplomatic representations at
Washington constitute matrimonial
agencies. Nearly every continental enl-
bassy and legation has n or more sci
ons of impoverished families without
any salary whatever, and for the sole
purpose of marrying a rich American
wife. They have no diplomatic labors
to perform, nor are they expected to re-
port to the embassy except when the
spirit moves them to pay social visits.
Indeed, they would not be trusted with
the performance of the simplest diplo-
matte task. Their standing with the
embassy is simply to give them eclat.
1t requires a great deal OF influence to
secure one of these honorary diplomatic
posts, and at times the state officials at
European capitals are besieged by ap-
plications on behalf of impecunious
Younger sons'or. by the relatives CT Eu-
ropean rakes, who desire them anywhere
rather than at home. When the fortune
seekers reach Washington they find
plenty of young American women with
millionaire parents,' who desire to rule
in the social circles in Europe, and who
think more of accomplishing their am
bilious purpose than they do OF finding
lovable husbands. That accounts for
the frequent marriages of American
girls to titled foreigners, in and about
Washington and New York. The for
eigners 60 to Washington to find the
heiresses and the latter 20 to the capital
to meet the hunters.
