THE REPUBLlCAN DILEMMA.

The coming Presidential campaign
is beginning to cause anxiety in po-
litical circles. There is a considera-
bic difference of opinion as to the
purse the Administration should
pursue in regard to the present
trouble in South Africa. and the
Philippine question is also the
means of creating discord in the Re-
publican party. The partisans are
freely expressing their opinions on
the floors of Congress, some of them
even going SO far as to introduce
measures directly a~ntagonistic to the
position the President has taken ON
these two important questions. Nor
is this all: The money question still
rises like Banquo's ghost to disturb
the peace of the party in power, and.
all things considered. it will require
q high degree of diplomacy to keep
the opposing factions from openly
clashing.

SITUATION is SERIOUS.
General Buffers Latest Move
ment is Regarded With
Forebodings.

The strict censorship which is exer-
cised over the dispatches from South
Africa have been effective the past
week in preventing any real news
from reaching the public regarding
the movements of the British troops
in the Trsnsvssl.
The only statement given out is that
General Butler has recrossed the Tu-
CELIA river and will again attempt to
relieve the garrison at Ladysmith.
The fact that no news is given out re-
garding the success OF his advance is
regarded in London as a foreboding
of evil. and il is feared that when the
news is given out it will show that
Buffers forces have again been
crushed.
In confirmation OF this suspicion the
following dispatch from the Boer
Lager at Ladysmith, dated February
6, has been received, and the truth OF
its statements are not denied by any
British authority
"Since yesterday the British with
naval and other guns, have lombard
ed our positions on the upper Tugela.
The troops crossed the river at that
point and Kolen Drift, with the object
OF s,orming our positions. At the for
mer General Burgher beat them back
and they recrossed in great confusion.
The fighting continues at kolen Drift
with the Standerton and Johannes
burg commandos. There were no cas-
ualties on our side.
1.-THE cannonade was the fiercest
yet experienced. There was a contin-
uous roaring all day long. This morn
ing it recommended with an increased
number OF guns"
There is an unconirmed rumor in
London that the Beers have attacked
General Gatacre's forces at Sterks-
troem from two directions. 1t is also
stated that Lord Roberts, commander
in-chief OF the British forces in South
Africa, and his chiei-of-staff, General
Kitchener, have left for the front, and
it is thought an important movement
is on foot.
From Kimberley and Mafeking
nothing new is reported, so it can be
presumed that the intermittent bonn
bardment OF those places continues.
How the Beers managed to secure
their splendid equipment and large
supplies of munitions of war is a ques-
ton that has been generally discussed
and wondered at all over the civilized
world. 1t is now learned that the
Beers in the year 1895 bought from
France alone guns, swords, carbinesr
pistols, cartridges, lead, zinc. powder,
caps, fuses, ETC., to the invoiced value
Of $4,000

KENTUCKY'S IMDROGLIO
Attempt to Settle Differences
Between the Two Rival
Administrations.

As was predicted last week WIN.
Goebel OF Kentucky died on Saturday
from the effect Of his wound. Before
his death, however, he was duly
sworn in as Governor, and performed
the duties OF the Office for a few hours.
Immediately after the death OF the
Governor, ut.-Goyernor Beckham
was sworn in to fill the vacancy. and
the state is still provided with two
executives. Bloodshed has only been
ayerted by the Democrats partially
submitting to the high-handed and
outrageous insults OF Pretending Gov
ernor Taylor, and they are entitled to
great credit for the f~orbearance they
have shown in this emergency.
Representatives of the Republican
and Democratic administrations held
a meeting on Monday and reached ar
agreement, which, ifcarried into effect
will end the strife in that State, al
least for the present.
The agreement provides that in or
der to leave no question as to the title
of VIM. Goebel and ]. G. w. Beck
ham to the offices Of Governor anc
Lieutenant-G Governor, respectively, th'
General Assembly shall pass a reso-
luton in joint assembly validating
the acts on that subject since the Leg
islature has been prevented by troops
from holding its regular sessions a
Frankfort. As soon az the Legisla-
ture does this, Beckham's title to th'
office Of Governor is not to be ques'
toned.
The Democrats grant immunity t.
Governor Taylor and his associate
from prosecution for treason, usurpa
ton OF Office or contempt of court TO
what has been done since the shoot
ing OF Goebel. These matters are L
be held in allegiance until next Mon
day.

the Alamogordo First National bank of
which he was elected president by the
board of directors. TO News repre-
sentative he said
1T Is our intention to open for busi-
ness on or about the first of February,
and if the present pace Is kept up with
the work on the new building which Is
is being erected, we can easily accom-
plsh this, as it is practically completed
with the exception of theinside furnish
ings. We have received every enconr-
agement from the people of this section
and it is our aim to give them first
class bank in every respect and one that
has facilities for doing business which
are equal to any like institution in the
entire southwest.
"There is large amount of business
transacted in 0tero county by indiyid-
uals, aside from that which follows in
the wake of the several large companies
which are aiding so materially In de-
veloping the resources OF this section,
having headquarters at Alamogordo.
All this business we hope to secure by
offering facilities (which our close prox-
unity to the field of Investment will en-
able us to do) to greater extent than a
bank more remote could possibly do.
"It is seldom that business venture
is extended so much encouragement in
they way of prospective business For
this we are grateful and it shall be the
aim of the bank management to facili-
tate in every way possible every enter
prise this section may develop.
"The new safe for the bank arrived
this week and is already being placed
in position in the new building. 1t is
one of the best and most approved burg
lar and fire proof safes made, being
manufactured by the Mosler Safe Co.
of Hamilton, Ohio, which of itself is
guarantee that none better could be
secured. The Mosler safe Co. is in the
very front rank among che safe makers
of the United States.
"The men connected with the organi-
zation of the bank are, many of them,
capitaIistsw who are Interested IN other
enterprises in this section, while the

this section, the business men in par
ticular, readily appreciate the advah-
tages that first class bank, such as we
propose to give Alamogordo, will afford
in the transaction OF every day business,
and for that reason have extended such
hearty support to the enterprise. The
future for this section is very promising
indeed As the lumber and mining in
dustries are more fully developed, busi-
ness will increase along every line. Our
faith in the region, in my opinion, could
not be more forcibiy told than by re-
ferring to what we propose to do In the
way of business here.
