A LETTER FROM PARIS.
EDITOR CONSERVATIVE:

EDITOR CONSERVATIVE:
The telegraph will have already given
the news of the heroic President
Kruger's arrival in France, and the
spontaneous burst of enthusiasm by
which he has been received. But, it
may not be amiss to give your readers
the Impressions of an eyewitness, here
in Paris.
In the early days of this month the
great exposition reached it's close, and
was naturally succeeded by a regretful
feeling that the unexampled opportunity
for instruction and culture was now
gone forever. Even those who had
been most assiduous in daily visits felt
that much had remained unseen or but
imperfectly studied. Great crowds of
visitors departed, and the people re-
naming in the city could not help feel.
ing melancholy. But this was tempor-
ary as it came to be realized that the
Boer President was rapidly nearing these
shores. Soon we had the news of his
arrival and reception at Marseilles, and
we read the short and stirring speech he
made there. Then rapidly followed his
triumphal journey via Lyons and Dion
to Paris. An enormous gathering of all
classes of the population awaited him at
the railroad station, and a densely
packed crowd filled the wide Boulevards
all along the route as his carriage slowly

separate board of trustees, appointed by
the governor. The governor also ap.
points the superintendent of these in
stitutions. The trustees are invariably
friends and supporters of the governor,
to whom he is indebted for political
service. No sooner is a trustee appoint
ed than he Immediately proceeds to load
down the pay rolls with party workers
and political favorites. Political favor.
itism extends from the hospital physi
clans to attendants and even down to
scrubwomen. Contracts for supplies
involving thousands Of dollars are also
farmed out to friends of the trustees
and supporters of the governor. The
institution thus becomes big political
machine.
"There are instances here and there,
of course, like the appointment of
teachers for the education of the blind
in the institution at Jacksonville, where
it is impossible to fill all the places with
ignorant party heelers. But even these
positions, which call for the training and
professional skill of an expert, do not
always escape the despoiling hand of
the politician.
"The whole system is a disgrace to
the state and should be radically
changed in root and branch by the legis-
lature at the coming session. The state
charitable and penal institutions should
be placed on the merit system under
state civil service law framed with such
rigidity and such definite provisions as
to make it impossible for the politicians
to evade or circumvent it,"

"THE OLD TOWN ON THE RIVER"

"Where hills are farest in splendor,
And brightest of skies look down,
Just at bend of the river,
There lieth an Old Town"
The above lines introduce the first
chapter of an attractive little volume
entitled, "The Old Town on the River"
written by Miss Flora Bullock and illus.
trated with photographs by Messrs.
Tyson and Rice and with drawings by
Miss Harriet Hershey.
Surely all dwellers in Nebraska City
will prize this book which so we'll de.
scribes the beauties lurking in the
shaded streets, above the lofty tree tops
by the curves of the river, and along the
country byways that lead out among
"the sunset hills
Miss Bullock has pointed out the at
fractions of the "Old Town" in so ap-
preciative manner that even it's most
ardent lovers, the Old Settlers, those
most severe critics of all that is said of
their town, will be satisfied, and must
render tribute of gratitude to the
author, who, with subtle witchery in
her words, has expressed their loving
admiration for all that has grown with
them to make their chosen home beauti-
full.
We hope the little book, which, with
it's decorated cover, is suitable for a
dainty holiday gift, may find it's way
into all the hearts and homes of Ne
braska City. The pages of the book
are filled with the charming work of
three of our own artists.

PARTISANSHIP IN STATE INSTITU-
TIONS.

TIONs.
1t is a hopeful sign that many of the
states are now seriously discussing the
advisability of change in the methods
of managing state institutions and sug
gesting the substitution of civil service
rules for the system of partisan awards.
Illinois is making strong effort in this
direction. Speaking of the disastrous
consequences of partisan control the
Chicago Times Herald says:
"The spectacle of several thousand
unfortunates, the insane, the deaf, the
dumb and the blind turned over to the
care of the ignorant ward politicians
and party heelers by the people of a
state is reproach to our civilization.
To the humanitarian and the sociologist
it is intolerable.
"And yet this spectacle is repeated
year after year in Illinois The hapless
wards of the state are not only turned
over to party spoilsmen but every fourth
year witnesses the complete displace-
ment of one set of party henchmen in
each state institution by new and un-
tried breed of political parasites.
"The scientific, humane care of the
insane in the various hospitals of the
state is matter of secondary considera-
ton with the party spoilsmen. Under

companied by continuous shouts OF
"Vive Kruger Vive les Beers Vive la
France Vive Liberte!" Yesterday at
the reception at the Hotel de Vile, the
speaker addressing Kr. Kruger, voiced
the universal sentiment when he said,
'Since the governments are silent, in
the face of the great iniquity, let the
people speak, let them express their de.
sire that arbitration may take place as a
satisfaction to justice and civilization"
And the steadfast old hero replied, II
understand very we'll, gentlemen, what
you all have ardently wished to do"
We learn by the newspapers that this
striking manifestation of admiration for
President Kruger, and sympathy for the
two struggling little republics, who are
making such an astonishing defense of
their homes and country, cause the
English people to wonder How blind
they are to the real state of feeling
against them, not only in France,
but all over the civilized world Kruger
would be acclaimed in like manner by
every one of the nations of Europe,
from distant Russia to Holland on the
North Sea. There are the strongest evil
dences of this in all the leading news
papers and reviews. The English by
their unholy war have seriously dam
aged their prestige for generation to
come. They have been and still are
engaged in sowing dragons teeth in
South Africa; and there is not the
slightest doubt there will be terrible
crop of woes to be expiated as the years
of the new century roll on.
When we consider the pecuniary cost,
the loss of valuable lives, the thousands
MANNED for life, the widows and orph-
ans, the barbarities committed on
women and children, the hard hearted
ignoring the behests of religion. of
humanity, of decency, the trampling
down of what men hold sacred and
worth dying for,-and all this to further
the sordid aims of commercial imperial
ism, we are filled with horror, and
lament deeply that so dark blot mars
the last page of the history of the nine.
teenth century.

HARDWARE BUSINESS
Of W. B. snOdgrass Purchased by G. g,
Soipio, Of Greenville, Ill.

One of the largest business changes
ever made incur city was consummated
on Tuesday of this week when w. b,
Snodgrass disposed of his extensive
hardware business to G. c. Scipio of
Greenville, Ill. The sale included one
of the largest stocks of hardware and
tinware in southern New Mexico, and
the large brick building in which the
business has been conducted by Mr.
Snodgrass.
w. B. Snodgrass is well known to
every business man in OterO county,
having been in the hardware business at
this place ever since the town was start
ed. He is gentleman of integrity and
citizen which Ote'o county can i'll
afford to lose at this time. He has built
up large business by his fair and Iiber-
al dealing, and has aided materially in
the development of the town. He leaves
this afternoon for Denver.
G.. G. Scipio, who purchased the bus
mess, is from Greenville, ILL.,, and is a
gentleman of wide experience in the
hardware and tin business, having been
engaged in 1t at Greenville for thirty
years. He disposed of his business at
that place In order that he might move
to milder climate. He is very high in
his praises OF the climate of this section
of New Mexico, and predicts bright
future for Alamogordo. He has leased
the residence formerly occupied by Mr..
Snodgrass and family, and will move his
family to Alamogordo in the near future.
He is an affable, courteous gentleman,
and THE News predicts for him fair
share of the hardware business OF Ala
mogordo and otero county.

The Only One.

Recently the commissioner OF Indian
affairs at Washington abolished the
position OF Indian agent at the Mes
calero Indian agency in OteIo
county. Along with 1t the positions
of clerk, physician, farmers and others
were abolished, says the Santa Fe New
Mexican. leaving only one white en-
ployer and few In 1ian police to take
care of the Indians. This action was
taken for the reason that the positions
were no longer necessary, the Mescalero
Apaches having become entirely se.f-
supporting. A school, with super
intendent and three teachers, will still
be maintained for the education Of the
children, 100 per cent of whom are in
the school. The advancement of the
Mescaleros In the last few years has
been remarkable and unheard Of in the
history of Indians.
The position Of agent has been abol-
ished technically and Is still authorized
by law. The agency Is now in charge
OF the superintendent Of the school Of
the Mescaleros under an act Of congress
Of March 1, 1899.
There Is no other agency where the
Indians have become self-supportlng
and the success IN this case Is cause
for qualification. 1t shows what may
be done with Indians In the southwest,
especially In so res0urceful region as
the country IN which the Mcscaleros are
located,
