all stay-at- home voters and repeaters
are employed to act as their proxies.
If there is any danger that the ma
chine majority will not reach the de-
sired figure, names are manufactured
and the ballot boxes are stuffed with
impunity. The republican ring is in
alliance with a So-called democratic
ring that shares in the division of-the
loot secured by the sale Of contracts
for city work, valuable franchises and
other spoils that the resourceful lead
ers are always able to bring within
reach.
New York has never seen anything
approaching the shamefulness of gov
eminent that curses Philadelphia.
The nearest to it was the rule of
Tweed, but the democrats of New
York, under the leadership Of Samuel
j. Tilden, soon put an end to that and
sent Tweed to the penitentiary. Phil
adelphia should have done the same
thing long ago with such men as Quay
and Ashbridge, but she has never had
the moral courage to rise in revolt
against the thieves who rob and op
press her.
1t would be we'll for republican poll
ticians and newspapers to turn their
attention to their own Augean stables
at Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and other sinkholes of corruption un-
der the control of their party before
Of
tears over the sins of Tammany.
On the whole Tammany has ruled
New York remarkably well. No city
in the country has been better gov
erned. In no city are the police so
courteous and obliging to strangers
and to ready to lend aid and protec
ton when asked. AS for extrava-
gnace, it has been demonstrated that
Mayor Lows administration cost more
than Van Wyck's and if Low had been
reelected, a budget already prepared
would have nearly doubled eXpendi
lures and taxes. The people were tired
of paying higher taxes merely for the
purpose of having a closed Sunday and
the outward appearance of respecta-
bility.
The $1,000 majority by which Nc
Clellan beat Low does not represent
the full democratic strength. Many
democrats voted the fusion ticket in
the nome of reform and the republic
cans voted that ticket straight as if it
were entirely their own. Last year
irJ 10 TO for
governor, carried Greater New York
by 100000 majority and came within
eight thousand votes of beating Odell
in the state. The city is normally
democratic by one hundred Thousand
majority.
Lows reelection might have been
possible in the face of this great dem
ocratic majority had not Boss Plat
and President Roosevelt attempted to
gain party advantage through the
election of Low. When it was seen
that Lows victory would be hailed as
a great triumph for his party, thou
sands of democrats who might other
wise have voted for him, decided to
give their support to Mcclellan.
The mayor-elect is the son of the
famous Civil War general, the hero
of Antietam, and he has a clean re-
cord. He is now a member of con-
gross and he has shown that, aside
from being the son of a distinguished
father, he is a man of great ability.
He promises to give New York an hon
Ast administration and there is no
good reason for doubling that he will
keep his word, as he is built that way

THE WIFE BEATER.
Max {. Becker ThreWn Into the City
Jail Last Night.
ASSAULTED HIS GOOD WIFE.

Max r. Becker, district manager of
the Germania Life Insurance company
was a conspicuous character in police
court this morning for mistreating his
| wife.
Last evening party of Max's
| friends gathered at the house to have
a good sociable evening. They had
plenty of "oil of joy" and in a short
| time Max was beside himself with
lovely high spirits, which, In less
| time, turned into a mean disposition
and he began to abuse his wife be-
cause she refused to sign a check for
him. His conduct toward his wife be-
came so inhuman that she called an
officer and had him thrown in the CITY
prison, where he spent the night sober.
ing up.
AT the hearing this morning his
wife, who is perfect lady in every re-
spect, and highly respected by all her
friends, and who is also in delicate
health. was not able to appear against
her brutal husband and the court was
compelled to make it a breach of the
peace. He pleaded guilty of the charge
and was fined sl5.
Ii would have been treating him
justly II about ninety days had been
attached to mis- name on the police
records. Another offense of this kind
and he will undoubtedly get all that
is coming to him.
This is not the first time he has been
guilty of abusing his wife, but is an old
offense, and has reached the stage
where the friends OF his wife, a noble |
lady, intend to take the matter up.
Wife beating is a penitentiary of |

SECOND STORM
The Valley Of Sunshine Enjoys An
Other Snow Storm.
COLD WEATHER IN GENERAL.

The second storm of the season has
visited Albuquerque, the municipality
CT the sunny southwest and the land
of the Italy skies, and today the cold
piercing breezes are an unwelcomed
guest. The snow fall was not so large
as week ago Sunday. neither was it
permitted to remain so long. as the
dry cold air and occasional sunshine
has caused It to disappear almost as
rapidly as it came.
Harry jerks, who returned from the
Cochiti mountains, reports that a
heavy snow has been falling in that
district since Monday morning.
Reports also come from Golrieta
that there is a heavy snow fall in that
district. The snow has been coming
down in large flakes for the past forty
eight hours.
There seems to be a general snow,
accompanied by strong, cold winds,
all over the territory.
While this is not pleasant for those
accustomed to warm living and all the
comforts afforded by the land Of sun
shine, in many places it means terri
bic suffering to the herds of live stock.
While the snow is a blessing to the
ranches and farmers, the cold wealth
er means some loss to the stock grow.

ON WATER RIGHTS.
United States Supreme Court Upholds
the New Mexico Tribunal.
THE GUTIERREZ CASE.

An important decision was rendered
by the United States supreme court
Monday by which the supreme court Of
New Mexico was sustained in the case
of Thomas c. Gutierres ct al, appel
lants, VS.. the Albuquerque Land & Irri-
cation company, authorizing the latter
company to construct canal and pipe
line in Bernalillo county. The decis-
ion sustains the territorial statutes un.
der which unappropriated waters may
be acquired for benencial use by pri-
vate individuals or corporations, and
are the property of the United States
and not of the territory.
Congress, the decision states, recog-
nized by the act of July 26, 1866, as far
as the United States was concerned,
the validity of local customs, laws and
decisions in respect to appropriation
of water. Congress also, by its act of
March 3, 1891, recognized legislation
of the territories as well as the states
with respect to the regulation Of use
of public waters.
The decision holds that the statutes
of New Mexico under which the ap-
pellee sought the right to control its
canal and pipe line, is not inconsistent
with federal legislation on the subject
of the disposal of waters flowing over
public domain; also that the trial court
was warranted in treating as immater-
ial the contention of the appellants
that by virtue of the treaty of cession
of New Mexico to the United States
they acquired riparian rights to the
use of all waters of the Rio Grande
river adjacent to their lands.

Mr.. Howell was prominent member
