noted with much pleasure the surface
indications manifested in the meeting
at Santa Fe, but since the most of
the gentlemen who made themselves
conspicuous at that meeting have
made records for themselves in New
Mexico as supporters of only sucn
of public policy as lead III
timate1y to opportunities for public
plumber, they must not think it very
strange if the real friends of state

time to find out first what little jok-

over such an acquisition to the cause.
When men whose aspirations and am
billions have never heretofore risen
higher than self, are suddenly seized
with such patriotic impulses that they
are willing to sacrifice everything to
the public good, they cannot regard
it as unreasonable that those who
are familiar with their a~ntecedents
should think it prudent to accept
them after the manner of our Meth
odist brethren, and take them awhile
