RETRlBUTION FROM ABOVE
The Fate Of Brakeman Myers, Who
Deserted His Wife and Children.
TWO DEATHS FROM SMALLPOX.

Perhaps the aaddest case OF rctribu-
ton The citizen has learned Of for
many years recently overcame the late
Charles Meyers. brakeman on the San
Ia Fe road.
a short time ago he was resident
ot Albuquerque. with y happy family
of wife and two young children. iiy-
ing at No. 2O3 TlIeras avenue. His run
was to San Marcial. where he general
~ laid over a day or two. There he
met one OF those fallen angels" OF the
opposite sex, that soon caused him 10
neglect his happy little home in Albu-
Querque. His case was reported TO the
railroad officials. and he soon lost their
good viii and his position ON the road.
lie was compelled 90 leave for other
parts anG look for job. Taking hia
paramour with him he reached El
Paso, where ho passed her on as his
wife.
In the meantime his little wife IN this
city was washing and sewing 20 sup
port herself and two small children.
AZ FL Paso Myers succeeded In max
ing friends OF several members OF the
railroad lodge, who proposed that
donation OF money be made 10 help

Al the meeting held for that purpose
there was one member who knew
Myers real character and exposed him
then ana there as "a fraud and rascal.
who had left a wife and family penni-
leHs la Albuquerque. IL Ia needless 10
say the donation was not made. and
the lodge made it so hot for Myers
that he crossed the no Grande bridge
at El Paso 10 Mexico. taking his fallen
angel with him.
After wandering homeless and pennl-
less for several weeks "a Mexico, he
succeeded in getting work. Three days
after he was taken down with small
pox OF the worst form.
This was the beginning Of the end Of
"a false husband.
He received medical attendance, but
his case was hopeless. His rawlings
were like those OF a Wild man. lie

ticket There are some things that the
republican party ls gullty OF in this
territory. but the crimes committed In
New Mexico under the two terms of
Cleveland would hil book. and In
comparison the republican manage
ment Of anairs stands out az a monu-
mcnt of honesty and economy
While the people are listening 10 pro-
testations Of economy and reform from
the democrats. it IL we'll TO not forget
their record Ia this territory In the
past.
Undes caipet-bag judges from the
south the courts during the cleveland
administration were prostiiutod TO par.
tisan politics. In this county justice
was a farce and corruption was the
rule.
The finances 0f the territory ANA of
the several counties were az the ioa-
est ebb. Territorial warrants were az
a heavy discount. and thc debt was
largely increased az q heavy rate %
interest The republican legislature OF
three years ego passed a bill choppinE
on useless expenditures. aud making il
impossible 90 Increase the debt OF conn
ties and cities. The last legislature.
which was republican. funded the ter
ritorlal debt at four per cent and al
present there 10 over l20O. 900 In cash in
the territorial treasury This county
has funded he debt az four per cent
and will soon begin % reduce its in
debtcdncss.
Under democratic rule % was the Gus
tom FOR county officials 20 Sc default
ers. In nearly every county where they
obtained control during the Cleveland
regime, the county treasury wRs looted
ln a bare-faeed way.
When the democrats run things in
this territory their leaders had an In
saiiable desire 60 stun the ballot boxes
and comml; .rauds at the elections
They cannot break themselves of this
pernicioua habit as was clearly shown
OF the recent city election. when at
least fifty republican voters were
cheated out OF chance to vote by
leaving their names on the certified
lists of registration. The democrats
think this II a certain and sure way
20 win elections and they will DO Il
whenever they control election Judges
and registration boards They learned
IN" habit from the southern states and
have followed IL in this territory when.
ever they have hae chance
Lest we forget. 3 II we'll 10 bear
these things IN mind when the demo.
cratic curbstone reformers wall about
republican corruption.
