A Friend Of the Worker.

Congressman Lorimer, of Chicago, was
a steel worker at one time, but by din
of industry and hard study he gradually
rose in public life until now he is on
of the most distinguished members OF
the house of representatives. Such a
man is in position to give advice to the
laboring men and his reasons that made
him a Republican should bear some
weight. He says: LAS a laboring man
at that time, l found that in every state
where an eight-hour law had been
passed a Republican legislature had
enacted that law and a Republican gov
ernor had signed it. I found that in
not one single Democratic state had any
legislation been enacted tending toward
relieving the burdens of the laboring
men. l found that prior to 1873 it took
from $l.15 to 81. go in American labor to
buy either q gold or a silver dollar. l
know that since 1878 every one of your
dollars has been worth q dollar the
world over. These are some of the rea-
sons that caused me to cast my first
presidential ballot for James G. Blaine.
l would advice the young men of today
to take the same course that l did 16
years ago." The Republican party has
ever been the friend of the Iaboring
man, the poor and the down trodden
while the Democratic party represented
the southern aristocrat against the
American laboring man.

The New Mexico Census.

1t is believed that the census figures
for New Mexico will show that the
territory in the past ten years has gained
about 25 per cent in population. The
New Mexican believes that these figures
are too low, and that the population of
the territory at this time is really from
225, 900 to 240, O00. TO be sure the terri
tory suffered greatly during the last
Democratic administration Just as it did
during the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889. During these two ad
ministrations it lost in population. This
may in part account for this compare
lively slow increase in population during
the past decade. A word right here;
Should Mr.. Bryan be elected New Mex
leo will again deteriorate in population,
wealth, influence and material prosper
ity. This is as sure as that day follows
night, and there is no successful contra
diction Of this and there can be none.

School district No. 3 of Otero county
is so a yious to have superior public
school facilities that it has taxed itself
an additional five mills, by a vote of 81
to Is, for school purposes. Ary money
invested honestly in good public schools
is a good investment that pays not only
high and steady interest to the present
generation but also to the generations to
come. The quicker every school district
of the territory recognizes this fact, the
soone New Mexico will take that posi-
ton among the leading states of the
Union that its importance in other re-
Spects demand.

PRINCE FOR DELEGATE,

WV
While the Republicans are as sure OF
carrying the territory this fall as they
are of carrying the country, yet there
will be as stiff a fight made by the
Democrats to carry the territory as
they are making to carry the country.
This being the case, it behooves the
Republican convention to nominate the
man for delegate who will make the
best run on election day. One trouble
in making this selection is thai there
are 50 many good men in the Republic
an party, men who would run we'll, and
men who would make good delegates.
Some of these men have positively re-
fused to run for various reasons. The
principal reason being that in this era
OF prosperity, conducted by the MeKin-
ley administration, which they know
will continue for four years more, they
think 1t is more important to attend to
their personal business and acquire a
competency. or the Republicans in the
territory there is probably no man who
would make a better u n and none who
would make a better delegate than ex-
Gov. L. Bradford Prince. The governor
has served the people Of the territory
as a judge, and as a governor, and as
a membe OF numerous commissions
TN boards, and has always served
them we'll. He Is the only man who has
ever been big enough to be governor of
the territory and not drop into oblivion
after his term has expired. All the 9TH
er men who have held the office have
either left the territory or dropped into
o~bscurity on the expiration of their
term of office. Since he retired from
the governors chair he has peer one
OF the prominent citizens of the terri
tory, and has often been called on to
hol honorable and important commits
sions. Governor Prince has a wide ac-
q~uaintance in the territory, and would
make a great run on election day. There
is probably no man In the territory who
would secure the votes of as many min
ers as he, and it must be remembered
that the miners votes in this territory
are nor important, and more indie
pendent, than that of any other class.
When elected Governor Prince would
probably be able to do more for the ter
rltory, especially toward securing state
mood. than any other man. He. has a
wild acquaintance among not only the
politicians, blu the men of the world.
The New Mexican recently made an es-
innate that during the past ten years
he has travelled over IS, 1000 miles, at
tending conventions as a representative
from this territory, and representing
the interests of the territory and it's
people at Washington. Surely the man |
who has been called on to do this work /
would be a valuable man for the terri /
tory to have as it's delegate to Wash
The Republican convention can
10 no better than to nominate Governor
Prince. and the territory can do no
better than to elect him.

San Miguel county shows a decrease
in taxable valuation. This is easy to
understand. During the Democratic-Pop
administration under Felix Martinez and
his gang, the practice was to swell the
assessments in order to get fees for the
county assessor, who vas for many
years a member of the Democratic-Pop
combination that plundered San Miguel
county. This went on for several years
and until the first of January, 1899, when
an honest board of county commissioners
took charge of the management of coun-
ty affairs. The New Mexican is informed
that a good many assessments which
were fictitious have been taken off the
books, and hence the apparent decrease
in the taxable valuation of that county.

4 vindictive Slaader,

The Denver Republican in speaking O.
the slanderous u%tterances against Gov
ernor Roosevelt made by Senator Teller
at the conventions OF the ants at Denver
this week, says:
"Senator Teller certainly went beyond
the bounds Of decency and brought dis
credit upon the state Of Colorado, OF
which he has been an honored and hon
orable representative In the senate of the
United States for a quarter of a century,
when, In his speech to the Teller Silver
Republican state convention on Monday,
he described Governor Roosevelt, the
Republican nominee for vice president,
as
THE DISTINGUISHED SKULK.
Err OF SAN JUAN HILL, THE
MAN WHO HAS TAKEN THE
CREDIT FOR WHAT THE NEGRO
REGIMENT DID"
Governor Roosevelt can not be hurt
by any Islander designed to blacken his
record as q soldier because his bravery
in the fierce fighting about Santiago on
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-09-15

those memorable July days in 1898 Is a
matter of history vouched for by al army
of eye witnesses; but the state of Colo
RADIO must feel panied and shamed be-
yond expression to have the country
know that a mar of Senator Teller's
rank and reputation should so far for
get the requirements of truth and man
illness and patriotism as to falsely and
needlessly malign the military record of
a volunteer soldier. whose splendid ex-
ample in going to the front at the call
of his country, and risking his life at the
head OF his regiment in the hottest con-
tiict of the war, has made all true Amer
leans prouder of their citizenship and
more certain of the future of a republic
that breeds such heroes as Theodore
Roosevelt and his valiant companions in
arms, the gallant Rough Riders.
Senator Teller has a right, if he feels
so inclined, to oppose the election of
Governor Roosevelt to the office of vice
president, but he has no right to impeach
the soldierly courage and achievements
of the hero of San Juan, and in his calm
er moments we are sure that he will de-
plore the blunder, to call it by no harsh
er name. which he committed on Mon
day.
"Will the people of Colorado, who,
however they may differ among them
selves on political issues, are quite una
nimous in their appreciation and ap-
proval of all American soldiers who fight
Drave)y for the flag, endorse the stain
put upon their state by Senator Teller's
uncalled-for SANDER, or will they repu-
date and disown it as they should at the
polls in November"
New Mexico resents keenly the assault
of Senator Teller not only upon Gov
ernor Roosevelt but also upon the va
liant Rough Riders. Five hundred of
New MeXico's bravest sons were with
Governor Roosevelt when he climbed
San Juan hill in the face of a shower of
Spanish bullets and it was a soldier from
New Mexico who was the first to plant
the Stars and Stripes IN San Juan hill.

against delinquent officers.
In regard to appeals to your board, it
is provided in section 404S of the Com
piled Laws of 1897, that any person may

notice of appeal, and upon payment by
the appellant to the said clerk of 81 as

that h probate clerk certifies nothing
to your board, except the notice of ap-
peal. In such case the appeal is not
properly before your board, and you
have nothing to guide you in your de-
termination, and the clerk is derelict in
his duty under section 1886 of the Com
piled Laws, which provides that any
clerk of the board of county commits
sioners failing o refusing to send to
your board a complete transcript in APP
peal cases, as now provided by the law,
within thirty days from the date no.
tice of appeal is filed with him, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanOr, and upon
conviction shall be fined i'm a sum not
exceeding 800. This provision should
also be enforced against derelict clerks,
for the reason that their failure to fol-
low the law practically denies the APP
pellant a hearing before your board,
which. from the notice of appeal only,
a derive no sufficient information,
and necessarily the appeal must be dis
missed, as not being in conformity with
the law, thereby doing injustice to the
appellant, who is not in fault, and who
has to suffer from the failure of the
probate clerk to do his plain duty, as
laid down in the law.
Very respectfully,
EDWARD L. BARTLETT,
Solicitor General.

1t Is characteristic of Americans that
one of the first things that the authori-
ties look after at Galveston is the health
OF the people. Among the first calls for
assistance was an appeal for disinfect-
ants, charcoal furnaces and other neces-
stiles for thorough d%isinfection. In al
most ANY other country health would
have been N Of the last things that
would have demanded public attention.
American civilization can be measured
by Its quarantine regulations, and the
attention that the authorities pay to
public health.

THE MAINE ELECTION.


The fact that the Republicans have
carried Maine with a good, old time
majority leaves no ground for Demo.
cratic encouragement. The Republican
majority is not as great as it was In
1896, when exceptional conditions exist.
ed, but 1t Is greater than ever before on
since that year.
1t will be recalled that in 1880 Maine
was lost to the Republicans at the Sep
TENDER state election, and that on that
account h Democrats thought they
wer going to carry the nation. For
once the Republicans saw In the situa-
ton in the Pine Tree state occasion for
alarm, and they rallied at the Novem-
Der election and gave Garfield an over
whelming majority. In view of that ex-
%perience the Democrats will hardly try
to find hope in the result Of the state
election this year. )
The people of Maine have not suffered
themselves to be led astray by the false
issue Of anti-imperialism, notwith-
standing in Boston there is a little
group OF mugwumps led by Edward At
kinson who profess to believe that the
government Is rushing headlong into
Imperialism and the establishment Of a
military despotism. Maine Republicans
are true to the best interests of the
country, and they appreciate that the
policy of expansion will increase It's in
fiuence and extend Its trade.

Germany. which financially is a very
strong nation, has announced its inten.
tion Of coming to the United States In
1904 and 1905 to raise a loan of $50, OOO,-
600 on German bonds. This Is an unso-
lfcited testimonial Of the financial
strength OF this nation since the finan-
cfal legislation OF this administration has
been enacted, as well as an expression of
faith In the minds Of foreigners that
President Mckinley will be reelected,
