 The funeral of Joseph Edge took place from his fathers residence We'd nesday afternoon. The firemen. of which society the deceased was q member. turned out in a body to pay a tribute to one of their most highly esteemed members. Among the many and beautiful floral. tributes was a large wreath given by the firemen. company formed at their rooms short Iy before o'clock and proceeded to the house in q body, where they re viewed the remains before taking up the march to the cemetery. The fami- ! ly have the sincere sympathy of l large circle of friends. The pail | bearers. all of which are tiremen, were C. Hannon. G. A. Grant. Will ! liam Maxwell. T. Maxwell, J.

 The trolley will be running to this 1 town in time to accommodate those l from Waterbury who intend to pat ronize Professor Turner's illustrated lecture in the new church on next W ed l nesday evening. or the ladies' fair which will open in the basement of the | church on next Thursday evening. The church of St Mary Magdalene is only i two minutes walk from the trolley | terminus and the road is well lighted | by electric lights. Ii is expected that special arrangements will be made with the company to run extra cars at special hours. The basement is now being placed ill readiness for the fair and will be handsomely decorated with the national and other colorS. A | fine turkey supper will be provided every evening at nominal price. and f ri nd st yn be pleasing features. Admission to the lecture on Wednesday evening will be fifteen cents. but to the fair each evening, ten cents. The door prizes this time are elegant. surpassing any thing yet given in this vicinity.

But If, peradventure, congress has

surely cannot have forgotten our re-
cent war with Spain, nor the heroic
charge of the rough riders up San Juan

there were 500 New Mexicans, officers

be poor, dreamy, dormant even, but he
is not pauptr. A pauper is a cringing,
obsequious remnant of humanity.
Moreover the charge Of general illit-

and 1890 immigration increased % per

THE ROBERTS CASE.
Statements and kilograms from Utah Not
Admitted As Testimony.

Washington, January 4,-The Roberts
investigating committee resumed It's
session to-day for the purpose Of hear
ing arguments and bringing the inquiry
TO an early conclusion. 1t was expect
ed ex- Secretary John G. Carlisle woulo
be present to sum up the case against
Roberts, and that Roberts would make
an argument in his own behalf. Word
came from Mr.. Carlisle, however, that
he had not understood his personal
presence was desired, but he was ready
to submit written arguments on any OF
the questions involved.
Chairman Tayler Of Ohio said a
statement of witness absent in Utah
had been received, but as Mr., Roberts
declined to admit 1t in an informal
manner the matter would have to be
taken up later. Roberts said he wished
to present a matter tending to show
the untrustworthiness of witnesses ap-
pearing against him, and also offered a
telegram from the proprietors of the
Salt Lake Herald concerning the testi-
mony of Mr.. McDaniels.
Chairman Tayler excluded the tele-
gram, saying there was no color Of
right or propriety in receiving a tele.
gram as testimony, in view OF Mr.. Rob
erts' refusal to admit a statement OF
the absent Utah witness.
Mr.. Schroeder, head of the genera
delegation, opened the argument agains,
Roberts. The argument was largely
technical. The evidence clearly shows
proceeded Schroeder, that since 1885,
Roberts has been in status polygamis
and the question is as to the effect Of
tkis status.

conjured up, or else all precedent goes
for naught
Objection is next made to the char
acter of the population. OF course, the
objection does not reach to the 10000
or 1000 Anglo-Saxons who inhabit the
territory They are admittedly as
worthy as their fellows elsewhere. But
the American government was not ere
ated for the exclusive benefit of the
Anglo -Saxons.
But leaving out of account the New
Mexicanized Anglo-Saxon and coming
back to the natives and inhabitants OF
Latin extraction, permit me to ASK
What is the matter with them? For
the most part they are native born. The
percentage of foreign born in New Mex
leo is perhaps less than in any state of
the Union In New York, Massachu-
setts and Michigan the proportion OF
| foreign born to native is S5 to 100. In
| Minnesota 1T Is 55 to 100 In North Da-
kota it is so to 100. In New Mexico 1T is
| to 100.
Why, there is scarcely a New Mexican
who Is not eligible to the presidency OF
| the United States Scarcely a mother
son who could not remove to amy state
| in the Union and become almost I'M
| mediately vested with full powers OF
citizenship. Why should he, by the
simple act Of removal be accorded tht
right to participate in the government
of Massachusetts, for instance, and bt
denied the right of government on his
native heath? Congress cannot objecl
to him individually; is there amy par.
ticular reason why it should object tt
him collectively? What is the mattel
with the New Mexicans? Are they no
loyal, patriotic, welded to American In
stttutions? 1t is notorious that our wa
with Mexico was contrived by slav'
owners, in the expectation that the ter
ritory to be acquired would becom
slave territory. And yet in the war o
the rebellion New Mexico remained 10y
al to the Union. Out of a population o

ciliary rights of a commorant, which Is
about the measure of their political
rights in territory. No territory has
ever prospered as such. 1t is only when
a territory has been admitted to state
hood that It's real development has be-
gun.
The injurious effects of the big lana
grants and the doubt as to their titles
were referred to, and the general gov
ernment blamed for not having sooner
settled this trouble.
The. assertion that New Mexico is
spa1sely settled is only comparatively
true. How many inhabitants should a
territory have to Justify its admission
to the Union? Illinois was admitted to
statehood when its population was only
12,2S2 Minnesota was admitted with a
population of only SOFT. New Mexico,
as have already stated, has a popua
tion Of about 250,000, exclusive of In
dians on reservations. Some better ex-
ouse than want of population must be

Hon. H, D. Estabrook of Chicago.

These figures should be increased for
the last decade, it is said. When, as a
state, New Mexico can make available
the lands granted by congress in aid Of
education, it is evident from the dispo-
sition of the people, Indicated by these
figures that she could not build school
houses fast enough.
But, after all, how does the alleged
Incidence, indulgence or illiteracy OF the
native constitute any argument against
admitting New Mexico to statehood? !?
| Will the state Of New Mexico be any
greater menace to our institutions, our
peace OF mind, or comfort Of body, than
| the territory Of New Mexico? Would
not Governor Otero govern "a state as
we'll as he governs territory? A great
er degree Of ignorance, poverty and
| downright mendicancy exists in many
of the states to-day. Do you think our
| country would be better off If amy state
in the Union were being administered
as q territory? The truth Is, a state
| government should assume the burden
and obligations OF local condi tions and
work out it's own salvation That New
Mexico would be financially able to sup
port itself is evident from the fact that
her territorial bonds sell to-day as read
! lily as the bonds of any state Of the re-
public, and from the further fact tina,
the assessed value of her property Is
already forty millions Of dollars and
upward. That the laws which as "a stats
she would enact for her own govern.
ment would be wise and salutary Ii
rsa sonably inferra)ble from the law:
which we find on her territorial statuts
book, and from the provisions OF thu
several constitutions which she hal
from time to time presented for the ap
prevail Of congress- all Of them models
in their statement OF fundamental prin
ciples.

action for fifty years? Read the article;
parse it; analyze 1T according to the
most. elementary rules of grammar,
and its literal and spiritual meaning
correspond. He argued that the burden
of proof Is upon those who deny New
Mexico statehood. Said he:
Let us consider somewhat the objec-
tions that have been made. First comes
the assertion that New Mexico Is
sparsely settled; that people have not
stumbled over each other In a wild
| struggle to locate wdthin her bounda-
ries. II this be true, what Of it? Or, as
suming that a paucaty Of settlement is
due to paucfty OF soil, when have the
political rights Of a people been made
to depend upon the quality Of their
soil? Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
are not what you would call fecund.
But the soil of New Mexico is rich and
fertile, SO much is conceded; and what
ever OF fact there Is In this first objec-
tion ts due to two wholly different rea-
sons, for both OF which the federal gov

until Monday.
THE SENATE.
Nh Hoar of Massachusetts offered
resolution, which was adopted, reducing
mileage fees to be paid witnesses in
cases before the senate to So per day
while in attendance, and actual travel
ing expenses. This will reduce the
amount for witnesses in the Clark case

The Pettigrew resolution concerning
advances reported to have been made
by Aguinaldo through General Torres
to General Otis, after beginning hostih-
ties in the Philippines, was postponed
until Monday for action.
Mr., Hoar said he had received numer-
Gus letters urging him not to vote for
seating Senator Quay upon the ap-
pointment Of the governor of Pennsyl-
vania, on the ground of charges against
the personal character Of Quay. Such
requests he considered in the nature OF
appeals to him to stuff the ballot box
and make false returns simply because
the petitioners think some one els.
should be appointed. He hoped his ex-
plana tion would be a sufficient reply to
the writer's of letters.
Senator Pettigrew called UP the bill
providing for settlement of the ac-
| counts of the national treasury with
| the public land under the law granting
5 per cent OF the proceeds Of the sales
Of public lands to states, and extending
| this provision so as to make Ii cover
| lands embraced in Indian and military
reservations. Mr. Pettigrew stated tina.
the passage of the bill would require
| the payment of about $12,000,000 by the
| national government.
Senator Berry artagonized the meas
ure, charging that its passage would
involve the wasting of public money
and be unfair and unjust to the states
| in which there were no reservations.
On motion of Mr., Berry the bill was
amended, by vote of AZ to 4, so as not
to apply to reservation lands. 1t was
then committed to the committee on
public lands.
| A message from the president was
read, transmitting the testimony taken
by the commission appointed to investi-
| gate the conduct OF the war by the war
department.
The resolutions introduced by Senator
Allen requesting information concern
ing the Hanover and City National
Banks Of New York were modified and
passed.
The Pettigrew resolutions, calling on
the secretary of the navy for the re-
port of Admiral Dewey in April. 1893.
in which the admiral said he could taks
, Manila at any time, went over under
objection by Mr.. Spooner.
The financial bin was taken up. and
the senate substitute was read. Sena-
tor Aldrich made the opening speech,
reviewing the various sections OF the
bill and explaining their provisions.
The senate then adjourned until Mon
day
