The Socorro Chieftain, 1884-06-19

m r i The plank in t'.ie Republican plat platform - form platform adapted nt Chicago declaring Ter Territorial - ritorial Territorial officisls should be chosen from residents of the Territories, íh a moat proper recognition of a right and just principle, The adoption of this plank is in full accord with the spirit of free freedom, - dom, freedom, devotion to human rights and jus justice, - tice, justice, which has ever characterized the policy and practices of this great party. At the outset, when thin party 6rst obtained power, it struck down and blotted out slavery with all the laws and safeguards with which it han been hedged in and protected during the Jong estsistence of that particular insti institution. - tution. institution. It not only destroyed slavery; but it protected the freedom of bis rights and endowed him with all the privileges pertaining to citizenship, and thus realize for the first time in the history of the country the truth inun inundated - dated inundated in the immortal declaration of independence, that all men are created eual. This party did not consider this abarren sentiment, but rnado it a living and vital principle by declaring II men equal before the law, and em embodied - bodied embodied it in the constitution and sus sustained - tained sustained it untill the good wort was ful fully - ly fully accomplished. With the greater wrongs to human liberty auil right ac accomplished, - complished, accomplished, it In natural that this par party - ty party should turn its attention to rujusdy rujusdy-iu - iu rujusdy-iu th lesser evils which still abound. Among these ovils is the appointment of Territorial officers from unn-resi-denta. New Mexico lus been a pari of the I'uitcd States for nearly Lirly years past and during I hat period the Territory has been govrened, utmost entirely, by strangers appointed from thu States. It has been treated in this respect like a conquered province be belonging - longing belonging to sonic kingdom, a Spain ap appoints - points appoints a vice-king for Cuba, or Eng England - land England a governor general for Canada. This system of appointment is not in accordance with the spirit of our insti institutions - tutions institutions and it is a satisfaction to know that the llep.iblicnn party is the first to recognise this wrong and to take the means to rectify it. It is in harmony with the history and record of tho party. No particular political ndvnt ndvnt-age - age ndvnt-age can be gained by it, but is adopted because it is right. The timber out of which Territorial appointments are made as a rule is the poorest and rot rot-tenest - tenest rot-tenest to be found, hangers on, party hacks, professional ofTice-seekwrs, and the like, men who claim soma reward for party services, but because they are fit for nothing are given a Territorial office to get them out of the wuy aud to keep them quiet. This is a system which should have been changed long ago and the Republican party deserves the credit for being the first to pro propose - pose propose a change. N. M. llovicw.

Why th faro Bank Wins. That is xometliitig that a great many clever men who play against faro do not know. It is not that there is a steady per eentnge in favor of the bank in the case of "splits," but that the bank plays with the most money and that the hank always wins in the end. That is a simple proposition enough but it is seldom understood. A bank wiih $'2o,t)0(l cash h.,sa ninny inoro ch'i'ices of winniirr in the end the money of the player, worth $lil,Ol) as the bank's capital is greater than the player's. The player can only lose his $100 once; the bank can lose 2511 times before it hns reduced its chances to tho player's. In other words.the chances in favor of tlii' bank, as quoted in addi addition - tion addition to the perceiitsgi; on "splits." is 250 to one. This is susceptible to ab absolute - solute absolute mathematical demonstration, yet will be read with amazement by many who occasionally buck the tiger. The ordinary player who goes with $10 or $20 to lose in a bank having $100, $100,-0Q0 - 0Q0 $100,-0Q0 to lose, can do a little Sunday morning work in figuring out his chances of beating lie bank.
