sons. the speed of British ears is low
as compared with American systems,
but the speed limits are fixed by the

the street cars to equal the American

the fact that they are not allowed to

INSIDE

From Santa Fe Eagle.
The Plunderbund is beginning to be
nlled with a vague suspicion that all
himself with green apples and claim
ed to have inside information of ap-
preaching trouble, the Plunderbund
is getting inside information on the
quiet that perhaps the horde of spe-
cial agents and inspectors has not
purpose of investigating the connec-
ton of Ex-Governor Hagerman with
the Pennsylvania Development Com
pany's and deal.
Although the skulls of some of the
members of the P~lunderbund are Of
very substantial thickness and h op-
Grafton of getting an idea through
such a dense mass is painfully slow,
it is not difficult to see that some of
the truth has dawned on some of the
more intelligent members, but, strange
as it may seem, one of them has, as
yet, even guessed at the whole truth.
| Some of them who are in falcied Sc
curity are liable to be suddenly and
rudely awakened to the fact that a
condition and not a theory" confronts
them.
The ~rottenness of affairs in this
territory will be probed to h bot
tom. The muck heap will be thor
oughly raked over and all of its nasti-
ness will be exposed in spite of the
bluffs and threats OF the p~lunderers
of the public who have so long con
trolled the politics of New Mexico,
and who nave disgraced the territory
to such a degree hat the very name
of New Mexico is only thought of in
the east in connection with all that
is vile and rotten in government.
1t may now be stated definitely aid
positively that relief is in sight and
that it is not all coming from n di-
rection. The agents of the govern
ment who are here were not born yes
terday; they are not going to be in
huenced by the argument of the Plum
derbund that to give New Mexico hon
est, economical and just government
would ruin the Republican party, nor
are they going to be iltimidated. They
are going to make a complete and
careful investigation of conditions as
they exist in New Mexico and they
are going to report them exactly as
they find them, regardless of what
official may find himself in an embar-
RAISING position in consequence. The
efforts of Governor Hagerman to give
New Mexico clean government were
not entirely in vain. He was inexpe-
rienced in politics, and his inexpe-
rience caused MIN no end of trouble,
but the publicity which vas given to
the rottenness of affairs in New Mex
leo while the Plunderbuld was trying
to secure his removal since that
time, made a thorough investigation
of conditions in this territory impera-
tive. The investigators are here for
an indefinite stay. The investigation
is in progress, and results may be
expected in the near future. There is
nope for New Mexico yet.
