MAY CHANGE GRADES.
The Santa Fe Management Consider ing the Question of Reducing
 Grades on Its Line.

If Mir I. NJ. Barr remains as third vice-prcsident of the Santa Fe-and at this time there seems to he no reason to doubt that he will-several million dollars will be spent by the company in reducing grades between Chicago and the coast When Mir. Barr was in Topeka he said in reference to the matter:
 Tt K fact not generally known that il costs the santa Fe more per mile To transport freight than any of the u-ans6ontinental lines. This is principally becanSe of tine grades en- cOuntered on our route. We are now considering the question of going into grade reductions on big scale. and if We decide to do so several million uOllarS will be set aside for the work. '
 As head of the operating department of the santa Fe system Mir Barr is naturally desirouS of making a record as an operating official. He is respon- Sible fer the inauguration of the double header" system. and as long as he is identified with the road the system will probably be continued. In the reduction of grades on the road MT. Barr sees the ability to transport freight at a greatly reduced cost. and as result iS advocating sucn q move
 The road would of course be reim- burSed for the amount expended in reducing grades by the reduction in operating expenses said he in dis cussing the proposed action. The i'm provement would be permanent and would mean a great saving tO the com pany every future year. '-Albuquer- que Citizen.

ROUGH RIDERS REUNION.

The annual reunion of the Rough Riders will take place in Guthrie. Ok lahOma, on the first of next July. Col BrOdie. president of the association, is trying to secure a large attendance from Arizona. An effort will be made to have the next reunion held in Tue son, and those who go from southern Arizona will work hard to gain this end. Prescott is also a candidate for the next meeting place. .''-TucsOn Cit iZen. Prescott proposes to send a delegation to Guthrie to try and secure the next annual reunion for this place. No city anywhere can present better claims for holding the reunion than Prescott, either. IL was Tn Prescott that the first enlistment for the Rough Riders was made. and also the first en- listment for the Spanish war. The first troops to leave for the front went from Prescott.
 The date for the reunion last year was fixed for June 2I the anniversary of the first engagement of the regi- ment. This year it has been postponed till July l. The same could be done next year and program arranged to continue the reunion and celebration over to the Fourth of July.
 By doing this. appropriate memorial services could be held on July ?. the anniversary of the death of Captain O'Neill and other of the brave boys who fell during the memorable charge on San Juan. Our citizens want to bestir themselves and see that proper effort is made in the matter of getting the reunion here next year and there should be little difficulty in accomplish ing jt

FAILED TO BOSS TEXAS.

Congressman Joseph W. Bailey. of Texas. has returned to Washington as unexpectedly as he arrived in Texas a short time ago. He went to Texas for the avOwed purpose of forcing the democratic candidates for state offices to come to his assistance in securing q repudiation of the limited expansion plank embraced in the state platform of two years ago. by the coming demo- cratic state convention. He not only learned that these candidates are, all most to a man. stoutly in favor of re- affirming that plank. but that the masses of the democrats of the state are of the same views On the subject.
 When Bailey arrived in the state he stated that he would probably re- main until the convention was held; that he proposed to defeat the move ment to send expansion delegates to the convention. As soon as it became known throughout the state that he had come all the way from Washing ton for the purpose of dictating the state platform of the party. his as stunned bossiSm was warmly resented and he received many letters from DO litical friends urging him to return tC his duties at Washington. He took the advice of these friends and left for Washington without accomplish, ing the object of his long journey.

A FATAL ENDING.
Walter Ruffner's Injuries Result in His Death-His Limb Ampu-
 tated

Walter Ruffner's condition on Satur- day took a turn for the worse and yeS- terday morning it became apparent to the attending physician that the only hope left for. him was the amputatiOn of his injured leg. This hope even was very slight. the chance in his favor being about one to thousand against him. The limb was so shattered and bruised that it was impossible to start circulation in it. His death was in evitable if the injured member was permitted to remain and the chances were even against his coming of the operating table alive.
 With these conditions confronting them the physicians decided on the operation which was performed at q o'clock last evening by DrS. Barrct. Scarborough and Davis. The opera ton lasted about twenty minutes and the patient came out of it as well or better than was expected. but he was already so weak that he could not survive the shock and death resulted about nine o'clock.
 Deceased was an exceptionally OK emplary young man. beloved by all who knew him and his death has caused a feeling of the greatest sad ness among his acquaintanceS. The very best medical attendance was given him. as well as the best nurS- ing ever since the accident. but it was of no avail.

DEATH FROM THE KODAK.

 Chief Shavehead had endeavored to secure the pictures that had been taken of him and his hut.

DEMOCRATIC PRAISE OF LIN
 COIN.

The Journal-Aliner a short time since. contained an excerpt in regard to the recent disposition of the demo- cratic party to quote largely from Lin coln's saying. and of their profuse praise of that great statesman. The St. Louis Globe-DemOcrat. of recent date. discussing this subject says:
 "A cartoon in a democratic paper represents President Mckinley helping push statue of Lincoln from its ped estal IL is q pity that Abraham Lin coln could not have known during his life that the storm of democratic bit- ierneSS and abuse directed against him was superficial and to be regarded as merely a latent form of admiration with that remarkable party. IL would be mkind to reproduce the democratic epithctS hurled at the great war presi- dent. the democratic insiStence that he was a failure. and the ocean of demo- cratic writing intended to discourage him and defeat his plans. Lincoln died at his post without supposing that the time would come when the democratic party. which assailed him when alive with every conceivable kind of oppOsi- ton. and never acknowledged that he was right in anything, would attempt to borrow his name to cover it's pur- poses. Lincoln never changed. He died. as he had lived, the target of democratic islander. hatred, and ob- StructiOn. But the democratic party seems 10 have changed, or pretends to have changed. in its estimate of his character and deeds.
 President Mckinley may. therefore, pursue the even tenor of his way, so far as democratic encomiums are con cerned. Forty or fifty years hence the democratic party may claim that they are following his footsteps and preserving his precedents. They may even start branch of the democratic party to he called Mckinley Repub- Iicans.'' and to meet as a side show to a democratic national convention. But in carrying forward human affairs it is sad that the democrats are always a generation too late. To pelt a man with hard words and set pitfalls in his path. while alive. and canOnize him a third of a century after his death is not in accordance with the soundest quality of reason or the fin est impulses of the heart. A few drops of the dew of appreciation should fall elsewhere than on the mOsS-grOwn monument of patriot and statesman. But then the democratic party is a law unto itself. There is nothing else just like it. \ contemporary poet seems to have had it's epitaph in mind when he wrote:

MONTANA'S SENATORIAL MUD
 DIE.

The Montana senatorial question is becoming quite complicated. Just on the eye of the Investigating committee submitting its report to the effect that no legal or valid election had been held in that state. Mir Clark, who claimed the seat. rendered his resignation. He does so at a time when the governor of the state is absent, and the lieutenant governor. in the exercise of his duties. during such absence appoints Mir. Clark to the position. Now in case the report of the committee is adopted by the senate. that no valid election had been held. Mir Clark had nothing to re sign. II leaves the state of Montana in just the same fix that Delaware and PennSylvania are. without a senator, despite the fact that a session of the legislature was held in the meantime. IL also places MT. Clark in the same position with Mir. Quay. which that body refused to seat. In case the senate should take action on the report of the committee. and should refuse to adopt the report of the committee. it would be virtually admitting the valid ity of the election. and then Mir, Clark s resignation would have full force and effect. and the appointment of a sen at0r from Montana would he in order, ny the appointing officer. The lieuten- ant governor. as already stated, in the absence of the governor. has exer- cised that prerogatiye. Now comes the real governor and makes another appointment. claiming the one made during his absence was irregular and was fraudulent. What the outcome of all this complication will be remains to be seen. The question was set to be heard today MondayD and the wise and reverent senators may succeed in unwinding the snarl that has involved the question.

This apprehension is not unreasonable X serious diff culty will stand in the way of the ora tor to whom will fall the duty of cleo trifying the delegates by suddenly and unexpectedly naming MT.

 Then sonic caitiff in the gallery will yell that he has talked more and travel ed farther than any other man that ever wanted to be president. and what would be the result:
