SCHOOL TAX.

While Scnool TAX Is always lSnt
levy compared with some other
County and State levies, the amount
of benefit received therefrom is
greater than from any. Education
is better than penal laws for the pre-
vention of crime, and it is much
cheaper to educate children than to
capture and guard criminals. There
will be a special election held in
Silver City on Tuesday, April nth,
for the purpose of voting on special
school tax. Some will doubtless OPP
pose the levy on grounds of economy,
but they should remember that true
economyis sometimes better prac-
ticed by light present expenditure,
which will prevent greater outlay
in the future. 1t can scarcely be
thought that Silver City, always so
liberal in school matters, will this
time allow its reputation as liberal
district to suffer, but owing to bust
ness depression many who heretofore
stood manrully with the schools, may
feel like changing their course and
voting against the tax. Those who
are inclined to oppose the school, for
opposing the school is what voting
against the tax will be, should re-
member that they would probably
haye been perfectly satisfied had the
County Commissioners levied one
dollar instead of fifty cents per hun
bred dollars of valuation at the
general levy. 1t would not then
have seemed extravagant, and the
amount would have been cheerfully
paid. Untort nately the Statutes
limit the amount to fifty cents, and a
special levy is necessary. These
Statutes were enacted when circum-
stances were different; at that time
the valuation was greatly in excess
of the pres ent, and fifty cent tax
was ample. If the law was different
there would be no murmur on ac-
count of school taxes, and it is
scarcely just to the schools that they
should suffer because of defective
Statutes. That the vote will be in
favor of the levy is almost certain,
but the citizens should endeavor to
make it unanimous, or as nearly so
as possible. A personal feeling
against any of the school manage
ment is not reason for injuring the
children by closing the schools, nor
is economy at present better reason.
A few who would thus exercise a
mistaken economy would not hest
tdtc, IL hSheu, W COHlI lDutO iuOiO
than their share of the tax will
amount to, If this contribution was
to some worthy charity or to benefit
some undertaking or institution of
which they approve. Few can be
found who will say they do not ap-
prove of the public schools, and on
these few arguments or appeals are
wasted, but those who favor schools
but oppose the tax for personal OF
economical reasons, or because of the
manner Of the levy, should allow the
measure to appeal to their generosity
the same as though it was private
request for assistance 1t should be
remembered by them that a vote
against the special levy is in reality
vote to close the schools.

BALTIMORE, Nov. THE election
in this city is progressing very quiet
ly. Up to II o'clock to-day it was
estimated that three-fourths of the
vote of the city was polled. Since
that time it has been showery, and
voting has not been so fast. The
Independent judiciary ticket is poll
ing a heavy vote.
FREDERICK, Md, Nov. AT one
of the voting precincts in this city
this morning a fight occurred be-
tween a number of negroes and
whites, during which Israel Graft,
colored, was shot by policeman
Porter and instantly killed.
The Commercial Advertiser, (Stal-
wart) says the outlook for the Re-
publfcans Is gloomy enough. Cleve-
land seems to be polling the full
strength of his party, but the full
Republican vote is not coming out
at all. AT the present moment it
may not seem rash to say that Cleve-
lands majority in the city will be
full $4,000. The support to the Citi-
zens ticket is disappointment.
Republican dissatisfaction has had
most to do with this.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-THE indica-
lions are that Stewart, Carr and
Phelps, Independent candidates for
judges have been elected over the
regular ticket. Holitzall, Demo-
crat, is elected to congress i'll the
third district. The fourth district
is in doubt
BALTIMORE, Nov. 7.-HObletzell,
Democrat, is elected in tie third
congressional district, and Finlay in
the fourth.
BALTIMORE, Nov. Talbot,
Democrat, is elected congressman
from the second district by 1000
majority.

NEW HAMPsHIRE.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Nov. 7.-Pri-
vate advices to prominent politi-
cIans indicate the probable election
of Edgerly, Democrat, for governor.
The Republicans claim the election
of Haines, Republican, to congress
in the first district, although the
Democrats do not concede it. Both
branches of the legislature will be
Republican. Republican county
officers in this county will be elected
DOVER, Nov. Isaac Lucas, a
prominent Republican politician, has
been arrested on a charge of bribing
aDemOcrat voter.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. THE
vote in twenty-five towns gives Hall,
Republican, 2944, Edgerley, Demo-
crat, 1891, scattering SO. The same
places III 1880 gave Belle, Republic
can, 1871, Jones, Democrat, 1925,
scattering So. Republican net loss
in these places 800.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. THE vote
in seventy-seven towns gives Hale,
Republican, 968S, Edgerly, Demo-
cratic, 1881, scattering $50. The
same place IN 1880 gave Belle IL, 445,
Jones 11,1S4, scattering 166. The
Republican net loss in these places
is 5S1.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. Forty
towns are heard from, and these are
supposed to include most of the bad
places for Hale, except Somers,
Worth and Milford, and leave him
1000 to overcome. 1t is impossible,
with so many towns to hear from, to
state absolutely whether he is elect
ed, but if he is it is by a small ma
jOrity. Should he tail of election
there will be no election by the peo-
pie.

A MESSAGE.
From the Republicans of New
York to Arthur & 60.

From the Republicans OF New
York TO Arthur &c Go.
New YORK, Nov. THE Times to-
morrow will say the Republican party
message to President Arthur reads some
thing like this: mind your own bust
ness, which is not that of interference
with local politics, of your own or any
other state. Cease trying to be ward
politician and an executive of the nation at
the same time. Leave men like John
O'Brien, Stephen B. French and John F.
Smythe to their own devices. Try to
expand your political vision beyond the
area to which you have been accustomed
to confne it. You are not ignorant of
the rudiments of craftsmanship; advance
beyond them and confide in the people
rather than in politicians Be assured
that when you intrigued to foIst the
claims of Roscoe Conkiing on disguised
constituencyiyou made fatal blunder;
that when you humbly tried to console
him under defeat with judgship Of the
supreme court you insulted public intel
ligence; that when you lent yourself to
work his revenge and that of his master,
Gould, against Gov. Cornell, you aroused
the Indignation of every thinking man in
this state, and showed distrust of your
administration wherever honesty and
manliness are reckOned among political
virtues. Have mind of your own; be
president of nation, not of a narrow
and vindictive faction of your own party
The country may be brought to admire
Chester A. Arthur as he may be, but it
has emphatically condemned Chester A.
Arthur as he is"

NEW HAVEN, CT, Nov. THE
election is proceeding quietly. The
total vote will not probably be as
large as usual. The weather is
threatening rain, and after a bright
morning the afternoon is cloudy and
warm with indication of rain. Re-
ports from the wards indicate that
a full vote is being polled, which is
construed as favorable to the Re-
publicans.
New HAVEN, Nov. 7.-Eaton,
Democrat, will have 1000 majority
in the first congressional district,
Mitchell, Democrat, in the second,
Seymour, Democrat, in the fourth.
and Waite, Republican, in the third
district, are successful. This is a
Republican loss of two congressman
New HAVEN, Nov. Waller,
Democrat, is elected governor by
1000 majority.
HARTFORD, CONN, Nov. THE
vote has been quite full throughout
the state. There has been a falling
off from the vote of 1880, the Repub-
lican loss being very much greater
than that of the Democrats. 1t is
probable that Eaton is elected to
congress from the first district, and
the probability is that the Democrats
have elected their state ticket and
three congressman. Waite, Repub
lican, is undoubtedly elected in the
third district.

oppose any one who is really the
regular candidate of the Republi-
can party. To the principles of that
party L have been devoted from my
early boyhood, for my father was an
old-iashioned Democrat, who, hating
slavery, voted in 1874 for James G.
Biraey, and in 1915 for John p. Hale.

sstroy it if the honest Republican

pretense of 'reviving American COM

the District of Columbia ring, with
their browning infamy, the safe burg

RICHMOND, Nov. 1.-THE election
to-day passed off quietly in this city,
with the exception of the excite
ment usual to an election. An at
tempt was made by the Readjuster
Coalitionists to vote on the capitali-
cation tax receipts, signed by two
collectors of delinquent taxes.
Judge Christian, of the hastings
court, instructed the judges of cleo
ton to refuse votes signed by but
one. The United States supervisors
arrested the judges, and they were
taken before a United States COM
missioner and bailed for appearance
tomorrow. A compromise between
the commissioner and judge fol-
lowed, and votes were received ON
both receipts, but under protest
against one. The delay caused by
this action caused many votes to be
lost on both sides, as the polls closed
while a large number of voters were
waiting to vote. John Amber
Smith, Coalitionist candidate for
congress in this district, was arrested
to-day for uisOrderly conduct at the
polls, and bailed to answer.
RICHMOND, Nov. 7-ReturRs re-
ceived up to 4:30 p. m. show that the
vote polled has not been as large as
was expected. Both Democrats and
Coalitionists are making gains, and
the Democrats are hopeful of Mas
sey's election. They have a major
ity of $4,000 10 overcome, and if
their gains continue as they have
been coming they will succeed.
They claim as certain the election of
the following cong ressmen: Garri-
son in the first district, Geo. d.
Wise in the third, Tucker in the
sixth, and Barbour in the eighth.
The Coalitionists are jubilant, and
claim the election of John S. Wise
for congressman-at-large by from
10000 to 10000. They also claim
six congressman, as follows: Mayo
in the first district, Libby in the Sec
ond, Hooper in the fourth, Sims in
the fifth, Paul in the seventh, and
Bowen in the eighth.
ALEXANDRIA, VA, Nov. 7.-Alex-

PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. RE-
turns from each precinct here show
the Readjuster ticket is elected by

innate their majority in the state at
$1,000 and in this district at 5000.
They are highly jubilant over the
victory. Gov. Cameron and Senator
