Tie eEvERlpeE REPORT.

The Las Vegas optic terms the re-
port of the senate committee on terri
tories, the Beveridge report, because
the senator is evidently its author, and
its inspiration.
The course OF Senator Boverdee In
New Mexico was such while here on
his hunt after evidence to justify his
position. that almost every citizen of
experience In public affairs. felt con.
CIious of the fact that the senator was
rot seeking out actlal facts, on both
sides Of the statehood question, to as
certain the real truth, and actual con-
ditious, upon which to base fair i'm
partial judgment.
His course was that Of paid lawyer
N charge of n case, looking after every
scrap of evidence that would help his
side CT the question. while studiously
avoiding all facts which would make
against him.
u was this spirit, and TO this end.
the hunt after evidence against state
hood was conducted. Il Is not fair to
dignity the conduct OF Senator Bever-
idge, with the term investigation. for
that takes in both sides and seeks for
the whole truth. whereas the hunt for
evidence sought only to bolster up a
preconceived conviction, and to sup
port before the country an opinion al
raedy formed.
The coming Of the senator to New
Mexico on his mission is like the act
of a Judge in taking the bench to de-
eide case, about which he had al
ready learned, and in regard to which
he had already both formed and ex-
pressed an opinion.
Senator Beveridge had pre-judged
the New Mexico case, and arrived at
our borders after he had both formed
and expressed an unfavorable opinion,
II the senate is 10 send any other
senator, for further investigation, let
II he one who comes to investigate
and not to misrepresent our people

A SPARTAN JUSTICE.

Senator Beveridge's attention Is
called TO the following incident, which
he is invited TO make a part OF his re-
port on his examination oi the justices
of the peace OF this territory:
The other night in one OF the towns
of New Mexico the justice of lne peace
of that precinct got drunk and was
thrown into Jail by the constable. A
few hours later the citizens put the
constable in jail for the same offense
The next morning the justice sobered
mp. held court and fined both himself
and the constable. IL rather detracts
from the heroic action OF the justice
that he collected the fine from the con
stable and with the funds thus secured
proceeded upon another celebration
This all took place in the English Ian
guage.

An observant person remarks that

nothing surprising about this, since

The advertiser offers TO the public

ever that anybody at Washington

suggestion Is so absurd that IL does
not call for argument against II. We
cannot believe that any senator in

for a fair amount of intelligence must
be imputed to all senators. That many
senators might agree to II were the
