President Mckinley recently
nominated for the United States
judgeship a man in Buffalo named
Hazel who is said to be conspicuously
unfit both by character and attain
ments for that high Office. The NOM
ination is condemned severely by
many New York newspapers, repuh-
lican and Independent, as well as dem
ocratic. And now arises the oTacular
Depew TO illuminate against all who
criticise this appointment. He de-
olares that they are committing the
objectionable sin of Insulting the
president" If the president wants
this man Hazel, notorious bench
man of Tom Platt, TO be a federal
judge nobody must object, nobody can
object without being guilty of insult
ing the president" The imperialists
are consistent even in this assertion
of their arrogance.-Atlanta Journal
The industrial combinations are
making themselves felt everywhere.
One mercantile firm after another is
forced to the wall. The passing of
the small manufacturer and business
man is an irreparable loss TO the coun-
try. His going is simply a mark of
the trend of the times. Ultimately,
unless conditions change, the great
middle class of moderate means-nur-
tured and cherished in monarchical
England-will be swept away in re-
publican America, to be succeeded by
the extremely rich and the extremely
poor.--Denver Post.

Constable Anaya arrested Felipe Pa
dilla on the charge of assaulting Eleu-
terio Ortega. Padilla was held in 5000
bail for a hearing before Justice J. M.

The live and philosophical young
men who run with the new chemical
fire engine, are ever on the alert for fire
alarms, and can be depended upon to
render the city efficient service when a
genuine emergency arises.
l.. R. Candle, a veteran Black Hills
miner, arrived in the city from Rapid
City, South Dakota, last week, and
will probably soon make exploration
trips to the Cochiti and the gold camps
in southern Santa Fe county.
Last evening Norman l.. King and
several others ran with their bicycles

fire house after dark. Luckily only

present number of patients is fifty.
Both the brothers college and Loretto
academy are crowded with bright young

ELECTRIC Fikt ALARM.
Santa Fe Now Has the Best Fire Alarm
system Found in the Territory.

Through the efforts of Manager l.
Sparks, of the local telephone company,
Santa Fe now possesses a modern cleo
trio fire alarm system, which is larger
and better than any other system in the
territory. Eighteen fire alarm boxes
have been placed in the city, n two
more will be placed in the near future,
giving each ward five boxes. h sys-
TEN is known as the fire alarm tele-
graph. 1t Is perfectly automatic, and
does away with the key, plug or crank
needed to operate other systems. The
mere breaking Of the glass Of the fire
alarm box sets free a spring that turns
on the alarm, the gong striking the
number of the box. There are two sets
of batteries in the fire station, one a
simple vitriol battery for the main line,
and the other a heavy open circuit bat
terry, which is unfailing in its response,
is for the local circuit. In shipping the
| goods the striker to the bell was not
sent along, and the apparatus is at
tached to the Old striker: nevertheless,
the sound of the bell was clearly heard
last evening over a mile away. The new
striker will be here soon, and will give
a much more powerful stroke. The
great object in fighting fires Is to get
to fires quickly, as one man in time may
do more to ~extinguish a fire than a
whole fire company ten minutes later,
The installation of this system should
have a decided influence in lowering the
fire insurance rates for the city. 1t will
undoubtedly help to lessen the dangers
and the possibility of a large fire or
conflagration. Citizens are therefore
greatly pleased with this improvement,
which is in the line of progress.
In order to avoid sending in false
alarms a reward of $25 is offered by the
fire department for the arrest and con-
viction Of any one tampering with the
boxes for the purpose of sending in
false alarms. The punishment will be
$50 fine or six months in the county Jail,
or both.
Upon order of Acting Mayor r. L.
Baca, the boxes have been located as
follows:
4, Hillside avenue, General L. L.. Bartlett's
residence.
5, Corner Lincoln avenue and Federal street,
Catron residence.

The Hearing Before the1Jnited States Com"
missioner Results in His V~indioation.

The case of the United States against
A. Fl. Viets, superintendent of the Unit
ed States Indian school in this city, was
concluded late Saturday before United
States Commissioner j. P. Victory. 1t
was a lengthy trial, and United States
Attorney w. B. Childers went into the
whole administration Of Superintendent
Viets as to any and all irregularities
charged to have been committed by him.
The evidence of the government entire
ly failed to show that Mr., Viets had
wrongfully converted any property of
the government to his W use, and the
defense showed by the witness for the
government on cross-eXamination, and
by the books and officers of the Indian
school, that every ounce of tin, leather,
flour and every other kind of articles
was accounted for to the last penny.
The commissioner discharged Mr.. Viets
and completely exonerated him. To-
gether with United States Attorney w.
B. Childers, he signed a letter to the
! secretary of the interior, Hon. e. A.
| Hitchcock, stating that upon investiga-
| ton of the charges against Mr.. Viets 1t
clearly appears that the government
was not defrauded out of a cent, and
/ that there was no intention to defraud.
While some of the transactions might
| appear somewhat irregular, the expla-
nations given under oath removed all
questions of criminal intent. The I'M
| dersigned also state that they deem it
but just to make this kind of a state
ment in Mr.. Viets' behalf, that they are
| of the opinion that a grave injustice was
| done Mr.. Viets by %suspending him, and
| they recommend he should be immedi-
| ately restored to his position as super
| intendent of the Santa Fee indian school.
| Numerous federal, territorial, county
| and city officials, as we'll as professional
| and business mem of the capital, are
| sending letters to the secretary of the
interior asking for Mr.. Vets reinstate-
ment.

POLITE PUPILS.

Among the things greatly enjoyed in
a visit not long ago to the old historic
town Of Santa Fe was the conduct of
about sixty childrenin ONE of the lower
grades of the public schools. The teach

pupils We're girls ranging in age from
about eight years to fourteen. This low,
one-story adobe building, Nesting in the
sun, behind a high wall that incloses
the whole playground, may not seem
picturesque to the people who pass there
every day, but to one from the east they
are as much SO as a Chicago sky-scrap-
err would be to the native New Mexi-
cans. As we We're about to enter, Su-
perintendent Wood said: You will find
them very polite here" Every pupil
rose with a pretty bow and remained
standing until we were seated. Then the
recitation, a reading lesson in easy
words from a chart vas quietly re-
sumed. There was o beautiful absence
of the silly simpering and giggling that
one finds so very prevalent in visiting
schools. AS we We're at the door to 60
the pupils again arose and said good
by" There did not seem to be anything
perfunctory in either Of these little
They were 80 simple as to
be charmingly polite. And remember,
II you please, that these children were
nearly all from the p~lainest homes, that
many Of them We're Mexican or Spanish,
and that their school room had a low

badly crowded. There may possibly be

comforts and facilities that money and
ingenuity can procure. !
