EVIDENCE OF lnlorcY.

Tho Citizen honestly believed that the fellow who
presided The editorial columns Of the water organ
during the sickness and therefore absence of Mr. Burke
was knave rather than fool But th paper has changed
said fellow combination Of the two. the fool somewhat
prodominatlnR Ills latest and much TO be hoped his last
squeak Is that Mr. strckler receives per cent
from each aud every electric light bill paid In Abu
qucrque"
The Citizen stated the other day that the Gas 4
Electric Light company which has franchise Tor city

iarge stockhoders-that this Gas Electric Light com
pany had ceased 10 make Us electricity. finding u
cheaper buy the electricity needed from the Abuquer
ers in the Power company. Therefore, says the orgaA
IDIOT Mr srickcr has "a neat per cent from each and
every electric light BIN paid In Albuquerque"
Did any ever imagine Tor a moment that the coal
dealers, from whom the Gas Electric Light company
bought tho fuel necessary 20 the making OF electricity
had a per each every electric light bill
paid In Albuquerque Only the organ "nnlcout could
have imagined such absurdity How then. can the
Albuquerque Power company hot 10 speak OF one Of H

EAlR srAremenr OF CASE.

The Albuquerque Citizen is ashtng the Albuquerque
Journal the question OF the extension Of the franchise
Of the Water Supply company for twentyono years long
err although that franchise has sim about fourteen years
The position OF The Citizen Is for the people and
against the corporation that the Albuquerque Jour
nsI and II B said controls the stocks of the Water Sup
ply company. although. the surface, the Is sup
posed have been sold syndicate Of Abuquerqueans
The Citizen insists that the Water supply company
now has franchise which Is oppressive on the town and
under which the water supply company collects big wa
ter rates and has soft snap that this franchise should
not bee given another lease OF life FOR twentyono years
as this would doubtless prove very bad for the city The
Albuquerque Journal tho other hand claims that the
city must have more water facilities and that II
makes difference now much and how high the charges
Cor water Will be- because the present need % the extern
sion Of the water mains and supply IS imperative.

The Citizen and New Mexican 10 have about
convinced Tho people OF Albuquerque that the extension Of
tho franchise should not be given and Il looks the six
members OF the city council ready 10 for the

STOESSEL
Sets Foot on European Soil and
COMEDIES With Widows
and Orphans.

Lieut.. Gen. Stossel, the former
commander at Por: Arthur. arrived
at Kafa, Crimea, on Feb. %. He
was welcomed by cheering crowd.
At the dockside deputation from
the municipality presented him
with the traditional bread and
salt and an address of welcome,
Steessel, addressing the assemblage,
said:
"My officers and soldiers coming
back to the fatherland bow to you"
Many relatives of those who had
defended Port Arthur were pres
emit, and there were pathetic exhi-
billions of grief and joy, according
to the news he received. Stoessel
personally condoled with the wild
ows and orphans, and many of
them kissed his hand. The Gener.
al expressed indignation at the re-.
ports regarding the numbers of the
available troops at Port Arthur at
the time of the surrender of the
fortress, and said the statements
made were all untrue. The Rus
sian feet, he added, was destroyed
beyond repair, there was no medi-
cine in the fortress. it could not
have held out more than a day
longer and the surrender saved the
women and children.
