ROOSEKELT.

The hopeful aspect of the Republicans lin the pending campaign is most grati- flying, and the cheerful optimistic feel ing regarding the outcome seems to be prevalent among Republican observers and sentinels in all parts of the coun- try. The popularity of Roosevelt, es- |pecially in the West, is unquestioned.
 Roosevelt is a figure who especially ap- peals to western sentiment while his lit- erary ability and his culture appeal strongly to the thinking, educated man in all part of the country. Leslie's
 Weekly in a careful editorial survey of the western outlook has this prediction Roosevelt with the reasons therefor: Every State in the West out side of the old slavery region will be won by Roosevelt in 1904 There is not the faintest reason for doubt on this point. No other Republican candidate in the long line beginning with Fremont half century ago has had anything like the popularity in the West which the president has achieved And, of course, no Democrat, not even Jackson, even closely approached Roosevelt in potency in the States on the Allegha- nies' sunset side. Here, in a bald out line, are some of the reasons for Roose- velt's strength among the voters of the West: He resided in the West for many years; he wrote about it's great men and events in a more sympathetic and intel ligent way than any other historian has done; he has made a special study of the Vests interests and needs; he is the father of the national irrigation act of 1902, which promises to do for the arid region between western Kansas and the Pacific what the Republican free-homes law of 1862 did for the coun- try between the Alleghanies and the Rocky Mountains; he made the trust statutes effective, and brought the great combine under the control of the law. Finally, he has the dash, the candor, the courage, the originality, the initia- tive, the independence, the versatility, and the democracy which the West es- pecially admires.

The Baltic fleet of Russia, which has
 sailed ostensibly for the Far East is
 in srmor and weight of gun fire nearly equal theoretically to the combin- ed Japanese navy, which includes but five battleships. The czar's fleet
 has a tall job in front of it to get to
 Japanese waters-a journey of 10000
 miles with no naval coaling stations en route. It starts of with colliers and
 auxiIiaries, but has before it the prob lem whether coaling in the open sea is
 wholly practicable. If it is. then the
 fleet when it arrives at it's destination
 will be practically without coal and will
 need 8 new supply from somewhere. In
 sixty days or less Vladivostok will be
 icebound, and the fleet will have an
 obstacle or two at Port Arthur to en-
 counter, with the port in Japanese possession. If the Russian fleet really means business and is really going to
 the scene of conflict then a mighty and
 decisive naval fight is likely to ensue,
 with the prospects in'favor of the Japs,
 judging from the prowess and skill the
 Japs have shown and the inefficient
 work of the Russians in gun firing. The
 Russian cruisers, however, are lighter and inferior to Togo's armored cruisers.
 The Russian Baltic fleet cost pile of
 money and if handled aright ought to
 be very formidable. Of the battleships four the Kniaz Souvaroff, the Alex ander III, the Borodino, and the orel.
 are new sister ships, each Ss7 feet long, of 1S,516 tons, of IS knots speed, and armed with four 12-inch and twelve s-inch guns. The Ossliabya, sister vessel of the lll-fated Peresviet and and
 Pobieda at Port Arthur, was laid down in 1895, is 43O feet long, of 12,674 tons,
 and carries four 1O-inch and ten 6-inch guns. The Sissoi Velily, launched in 1884, is 34S feet long, of S,SSO tons, and carries four 12-inch and six 6-inch guns. The Naravin, an old vessel re-, constructed was laid down in 1889, is 33S feet long, of 9,476 tons, and carries four 12-inch and eight 6-inch guns. Of the cruisers the Nakhimoff, $500 tons. and the Donskoi, 5,s9S tons, are arrnored. The oleg, $500 tons, is protected. The Aurora, 6,630 tons, a sister vessel to the Diana and the Pallada, is a commerce destroyer. The Almaz IS small cruis- CT of 300 tons, of the same size as, the Novik, which was recently knocked to pieces off the Sakhalen islands. British authorities are inclined to- believe that in view of the near approach of cold weather and the difficulties of ccaling the fleet without break of neutrality laws. the fleet is merely taking an ex- cursion for the sake of experimenting as to the coaling problem. The theory is also advanced that the move Is bluff designed to compel heavier con- centratfon against Port Arthur and thus to relive the pressure against Ku- ropatkin. If the fleet does get to the Far East there will be more news from the Orient, when the press censors there see fit to disclose 1t.

The Russian naval authorities are continuing their experiments with sub marine torpedo boats as is related in letters from Connecticut people received in this city from St. Petersburg. The Russians pay tribute to American skill and enterprise in this field as they do in various others such as locomotive building, development of mines, and in kindred fields of industry in Rus-
 sian territory. The Russians have sev- eral submarine torpedo boats already which they purchased from Americans, che of which lay at anchor in New Ha- ven harbor some months ago and an-
 other of which was tested at Newport quite recently. The Russian navy had

DEaTH OF The
FaJoED Eel GRIEeo'
The Quaint Old Musician, Who for go
Years Played for the People of
Western Valencia has An
sWered the Last Roll Call.

Jose Maria Griego, a well-known mu-
sician at San Rafael, Valencia County,
died at his home on the morning of
the 18th instant of old age. For the
last few years Mr.. Griego has been
blind. He was one of the most popu-
lar and beloved citizens Of that sec
ticn. He was fine musician on the
violin and for over sixty years has
been playing at all festivals, marri-
ages, and baptisms. He was native
of Cebolleta and was man of wonder
full memory At the time that the suit
to quiet title to the Cebolleta grant
was tried in Albuquerque, he aston
ished the lawyers when he testified
that he knew the names of five hun
dred of the heirs of the original gran
tees of that grant He was not man

talents. For great many years be
Travelled from place to place visiting
all the villages of the Spanish settlers
and he was a welcome guest at the
homes of all. His arrival in a village
was announced by procession OF
boys headed by Ell Griego with his
famous violin and that meant gen
eral invitation for all and it also meant
good time at the baile in the night
In the early days when the Spanish
settlers and the Indians were at war
frequent campaigns would start from
Cebolleta for the Indian country. i
it was successful, courier woulc
come ahead to bring the news to the
settlements and a procession of the
people would go to meet the returning
victorious soldiers and Ell Griego with
his violin would head the procession
1t frequently happened that in those
campaigns many of the militia were
killed by the Indians. and their re-
mains would be brought strapped tc
their horses. On those occasions pro
cessions of the people would also &c
to meet the returning troops, alst
headed by Ell Griego, but not with his
violin. Then he would lead the peo
pie in prayer and accompany the re
mains of the dead to the parish church
first and then to the houses of the fam
lilies of the deceased. The following
morning all the settlers would attend
mass and would follow the remains tc
the cemetery. There are hundreds oi
homes in that part of the territory in
which Ell Griego played at the bap
tisms of the grandparents and at the
marriages and baptisms of succeeding
generations to the present time. His
arrival in any of the villages was an
occasion of great rejoicing, for during
his stay the people had good time
There would be bales and serenades

New MexiCo'S Credit Re-Fstablished
Under Oter0 Administration and
Now First Cldss-.-Comparison in
Favor of Republicans That Will
Stand SeVereSt Test.

of is of one mill to create sinking
fund for the Prince Casual Defici
bonds, amounting to $101,800, which
fall due in 1928. BY a very simple cal
, culation, therefore, it can be seen tha
fthe operation of law has reduced the
tax levy LIS mills and has increased
it 1.60 mills, making a difference sc
small as to be negligible. AS other
funds to be raised remain the same as
last year, this reduction in tax levy
claimed for the credit of the Otero ad
ministration is bona fide in every re.
spect, and is made possible only by
the most careful management and by
a larger percentage in collections of
taxes for the territorial treasury.
Further than this, every one can see
that the reduction this year could have
been made as much as 1926 mills had
it not been for the other Democratic
deficits and the provision requisite for
their payment.
For the further enlightenment of the
Democratic press there has been pre-
pared from official records an abstract
showing all issues of Ter itorial bonds
outstanding in 1899. The bonds have
been grouped in such manner as to
show at a glance the several issues
made to secure funds for permanent
public improvements, as we'll as those
issues to cover deficits, and finally the
reductions accomplished by OterO
since 1892
From the table 1t will be seen that
at the time Thornton's deficits had
been funded, in 1899, the total debt
of the Territory was almost $1,250, 900
and of that amount the enormous sum
of ss7S,7Oo represented deficiencies in
Cured in twelve years, or an average
deficit of moret han $4,000 per year,
Of course it is politics, though very
dishonest and cowardly sort, for the
Democrats to maintain that deficit
bonds issued in 1899 must be charged
to the Republican administration then
in office, but every one knows that
the Republicans were brave enough
to face condition upon which the
Democrats had ignobly turned their
backs in 1897. In that year the Dem
ocratic legislature and retiring COVER
nor left the treasury skinned dish
and made no provision for the large
deficits existing even in the interest
fund, although the Democratic treas
urer made strong appeal for aid. The
first 1S months of Oteros term were
passed under these conditions and with
revenue legislation handed down to
him by the Democrats, but in January,
1899, the Republican legislature put a
shoulder to the wheel; funded the def
cits, and paid all lawful claims. Since
that date not one dollar of deficiency
or bonded debt has been incurred,
while the careful management of finan-
cial affairs under Otero has made it
possible to provide for the payment of
s395,065 of debt, or an average OF
$4,000 per year.
The Republicans have restored ia
the Territory its good name with east
