However, the Inves tigation made clearly relieve from all suspicion the man who was most strongly suspected at the llrst. PRESIDENTIAL CUSH. Does Tresident McKinley think that the people of America like to be plas tered over with fulsome flattery asks the lialtimfire News. Would it not be more becoming in him and more ac ceptable to sensible men and women throughout the country, if tie used the language of moderation and common sense In speaking of tbe virtues of bis countrymen f When he speaks of "the personal valor and intrepidity of aur soldiers and sailors" he can hardly use language which is exaggerated, fur certainly nothing can surpass the exhibition of those qualities which has been furnish ed by the war. lint truth as well as modesty and good taste should check the Tresid 'nt's constant Indulgence lu talk about th "holiness" of our- cause, and in such high-flown assertions us that "all through the war we hav min gled with our heroism, our splendid and glorious humanity." Neither is there any sense In talking about our victory as of a splendor un paraleiled in history; on the contrary, the war was fought between two na tions of such disparity in strength as has seldom been known in wars, and yet there are very recent ex imples of wars which were decided quite ai rap dly. In lHt',0, Prussia crushed Austria Ui a seven-weeks' war, though the oppo nents were very fairly matched, and at the outset probably mor persons thought Austria th stronger than Trusts; and in 1HT0, (iermany brought about th surrender o' th French Km peror and bis army in less than seven week after the declaration of war.

I hi vast majority is surely entitled to have iuN own ablest man elected to Congress. J Citizen. The above is a deliberate attempt upon th part of th Albuquerque Citi zen to raise the race question In th coming election, and every good citizen of both races must recognize It as one of the most harmful moves yet made by men who e.icrilice all for political success. It wid not woik, however, as we are all American citizens (except, peihuph, the Citizen man) and we are going to elect Fergusnon because he is the ablest of the two .American citizens up for Congress. Socorro Advertiser. The conteaiptible hypocrisy l:i th claim of the Citizen Is shown in th fact that beginning witli 1SH and fad ing with lH'.Hi, or during twelve years, th Republican party of New Mexico put a native in nomniatlan for Con gress but t wi.e, M.S. Otero being nomi nated in 1KSS and again in 1VJ0. On the m her hand, the Demuciats put in nomination for Congress, during all that tune but one man wtio was nota native, II. 1$. Ferguson, In 1V.M5. During ail that time hat did the Citizen and its at present associate race howlers think of the rights and entitle ment of the native clt'zens? Iiy their works y shall know them, and their works proclaim, as fully as the language of their weekly pr.ss, that they are no fi lends of the natives but al the pre sent time are engaged in th dangerous and disreputable work of raising a race strife for their own personal purposes.

Has peor Otero given up his duty of "run ning the show'' into the keeping of an undeiling! Hither "'Jillie" has acknowl edged himself incompetent or Frost ar rogates to himself vast Importance. Without any rellectiou upon blood or tint, an old proverb lita In hero nice ly, "(iivo a nigger an Inch and be'll take aa oil." Terhaps the governor' has allowed "the colonel" a modicum of In fluence and the consequence Is that the latter Imagines himself the bigger man of the two. Resides, In view of its an nouncement of the business it has in hand, strictures upon the New Mexican are strictures upon the Republican party.
