GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

When the idea is advanced that thu
government ought to control corpora
tons, whether as to freight and pas
senger traffic or in restraint Of trade
we hear at once the cry Of Vested
Rights-private property must not be
interfered with by the government.
When a corporation gets in trouble
with it's employees, when workingmen
ask that lawsof the' United States Gov
ernment and thelsws OF States be COM
plied with and that given number of
hours shall constitute a days work,
then the Macedonian cry is heard,
Come to our relief, and at once"
1t seems to make a great difference
whose OK is gored. The easiest solu.
ton of the problem seems to be---that
the government shall own and control
all public utilities and Jan We have done
with the postofice system, operate it
for the public good and not for private

DREYFUS GETS TEN YEARS.

1 The celebrated trial of Captain Alfre'
Dreyfus, of the French army, for higl
treason was brought toa close satur
day when verdict OF guilty was brough
in and the punishment was fixed q
ten years imprisonment. The tria
l took place at Rennes, in France, anG
was begun August 7th. Captain Drey
fus was charged with having sold to
the German government secrets OIL
great importance TO France.
In December 1894, o secret trial oil
the prisoner was held and he was con-
victed Of high treason and sentenced
to transportation for life and con-
demned to military degradation. On
the advice of counsel Captain Dreyfus
appealed to the court of revision that
his conviction should be quashed on
The ground of informality and that a
new trial should be ordered. The ap-
peal was refused and sentence was
.prssed upon him.
Following came the transportation
to Deyil's Island, the terrible fortunes
suffered there by the prisoner, the un-
csasing labors OF tie faithful wife to
clear the name OF her husband, the
sensational accusation by Emile lola,
and finally the decision OF the Court of
Cessation granting the new trial.
Seldom, III ever, have the hearts OF
the people i'll the whole civilized world
gone out SO earnestly and SO prayer
fully as they have to Dreyfus and the
loved ones who must share martyrdom
with him. This universal sympathy
must bring b.lm TO his wounded heart
and, in the face of his established in
nocence, the re inflicted condemnation
can add but little terror to the torture
ne has undergone.
The larger question in the Dreyfus
case is not Of individual justice, but Of
policy. The army demanded +
TO be sustained in q position it had |
taken, without regard to the circum-
stances. Justice on the one side, the 1
of the army on the other.
However, one may say, these few gen.
erals do not represent the sentiment OF |
lie army; the fact is they do not re-
present it's power and govern its con-
duct. The president Of the court
martial, though only colonel in rank,
was able to defy, and did defy, the
command Of the Minister of War. In
'ur country such thing would b.
This, then, is the issue
which has been developing in France,
md is now very near the crisis-the
niitnry against the civil power. ..,,,

porous; or what profit to us if we have

The 100000 900 we paid Spain for
her quit claim 10 the Philippines is
: mere trife. The cost OF war cannot be
less than $500, OO0,0 900 year, but the

DR.. S. B. Hartman. Columbus, OG
MY DEAR Doctor: gives me
pleasure to certify to the excellent
curative qualities OF your medicines:
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1899-09-29
REGARDING a Communication.

The Optic today was handed a COM
munication from a sympathizer of the
Aqua Pura company. with request to
publish it. The optics policy has
ever been to publish matters of i'm
portance and general interest to the
community. The communication is
made up of questions relative to what
The Optic has published concerning
the Greeley, (Colo) water works and
will be given attention when the prop
er time comes.
Other questions call for answers
from a scientinc standpoint and as the
city council has not presumed to go
to the heavy expense of hiring an
hydraulic engineer and expend money
for scientific investigation until it has
ascertained at the polls next Thurs
day whether or not the people want
a city owned system, these questions
must remain unanswered until the city
is ready to take that step. Suffice IL
to say that the members of the city
council feel reasonably certain that
the plans for a thorough system OF
water works supplied from galleries
constructed on the Baca tract of land
near the Hot Springs, for which THE
city has a deed, can be consummated
at an expense not to exceed $150,000.
The present council is composed oi
cautious and careful men and il the
bonds are voted the citizens can rest
assured that not a bond will be solf
or a cent put into water system unit
it is ascertained beyond the shadow
of a doubt, by scientific investigation
whether the amount and quality o
water necessary can be obtained.
The expense of this investigation
will be borne out of funds at the city
command, not out of the proceeds o
the sale Of a single bond. The voting
of the bonds does not necessarily in
volve their sale so there is not an,
danger that the money will be spen
unless the council and citizens ar
notified that the purposes for whicl
they are voted can be realized
The vote In favor of the bonds mex
Thursday win not only be vote for
municipal owned water system but a
we'll will be a vote of confidence in th
mayor and city council leaving in thei
hands the responsibility of ascertain
ing that which affects the city's bes
interests and governing themselve
accordingly.
