Loans Without Interest.

In the city of Barcelona, Spain, there is a peculiar pawnbroking establish ment bearing the dainty name of "Our Lady of Hope" where loans are made without interest to necessitous per sons on the deposit of any articles in pledge. Two-thirds of the value of the deposit is at once advanced, and the loan is made for six months and a day, but if at the expiration of that period the depositor should declare himself unable to redeem it, after an- other period of six months the pledges are sold, but if they yield more than the amount advanced the difference is given to the original owner. This in- stitution is very popular. Thousands are every year suitors for the favor thus afforded by "Our Lady of Hope." Richard Ford, Gatherings From Spain."

Hubbcll had control of the party or
ganization here. At that time the
state committee refused to help the
forces of good government in this
county in their task of wedding out
Hubbellism, declaring it had no juris-
diction in local controversies,
Citing this precedent, the county
republicans as represented by the reg
ular committee, passed resolution
denying the jurisdiction of the state
committee; Notwithstanding this de-
NAL the subcommittee, holding a
hearing which was practically ex-
parte, assumes power to ignore the
county committee and arrive at n
conclusion.
Under no circumstances can the
good offices of the state committee
be of effect unless both parties to
the controversy consented to its
jurisdiction.
The decision of the subcommittee
is void and without effectt.
The republicans OF the county rec
ognize neither its authority nor its
conclusions.
Frank Hubbell, Judge Mann and
their followers are not ana VIII
not be the regular republican organ
ization in this county.
If the state committee attempts to
uphold them it is taking the surest
means of making harmony in this
county impossible, and the state
committee knows it. If it supports
its subcommittee it will be taking an
action which will be disastrous, not
only here, cut in its effect, through
out the state.

ATTEMPTED ACTION VIOLATES
PRINCIPLES OF THE PARTY

In violation of all accepted written
and unwritten tenets of the repub-
lican party and party usage, the spec
ial subcommittee of the state central
republican committee Of New Mex
leo yesterday submitted a report to
the state chairman which attempted to
force Francisco Hubbell, his men and
his methods again upon the sovereign
voters of Bernalillo county.
The committee finds that Judge
Edward A. Mann, Hubbell leader
who illegally attempted to seize the
ehairmanship Of the county commit
tee, is in truth chairman of that
committee. 1t comes to this con-
clusion Notwithstanding that 1t does
not sanction the method by which
Judge Mann pretends to seize that
olfice. 1t finds in brief that the Hub
bell boilers meeting was Illegally
called, but that its action is legal
Notwithstanding It's recognition of
Judge Mann, the committee further
finds that his appointments were not
legal
AS beautiful specimen Of con-
sistency and effort to restore "har-
nony," the report tf this committee
Is gem.
Notwithstanding that during the
nearing the fact was recognized that
W, II. GillenWater was chairman,
regularly elected and recognized 1t
asked him at that time to nullify his
own regular appointments to COM
mlttee vacancies; and then in its re-
port finds on the contrary that Capt.
flllenwater is not chairman at ali.
The committee declares that the
county organization as constituted by
the county convention is now the reg
ular organization; knowing mean
while that the majority of the old
committee absolutely refuses to rec
ognize Judge Mann as chairman and
thls to secure harmony"
Mr. Gillenwater submitted affidav-
It's showing beyond the shadow OF a
uoubt that he heads majority of the
cid committee; Judge Mann submit
ited his unsupported statement that
ne had majority of the old commit
.ee' and the peace committee ignores
me sworn affidavits and takes Judge
Manns word for il.

Suines to direct that the ,Hubbell
oeihmittee meet on Monday as the re-
puohcan organization Of this county;
ana attempts to give a rank bolt. the
Standing of regularity by directing its
members to call the county conven-
uon and primaries.
II This action is upheld by the state
central committee. 1t will not be rec
vshlzed by the republican voters or
ue county as anything else than a
oare-laced and deliberate attempt to
lestore to power the undesirable ele-
nieht of the republican party which
naS been throwa out of control and

the state central committee en-
uorses' this action, 1t viii directly re-
verse the precedent 1t set when Frank
