What Shall We Do ?
interests


 Now that Attorney-General Miller and Secretary Windom have ade such brilliant progress in the de struction of the Exclusion Act 1t is well for us to sec what we can do in it's defense. There ought, ot course, to be an appeal to the courts, but there will be some diff ficulty in making up ease. The Government Is committed to the side of the cnolies. If a gang of tourists should be landed at San Francisco in defiance of the Ex- clusion Act, 1t would be the ob- vious duty of the Collector to stop them, and if his right to do so were questioned, it would be the duty ot the United States District Attorney to defend it. But the Collector has been ordered by his official superior, the Secretary of the Treasury, to let in all the tourists that may come along, and the District Attorney is bound by the opinion of his supe- rior, the AttorneY-Gereral, that the wayfarers ought to come in. Per haps the Attorney-General of Cali fornia might get q standing in court, but it would be hard to accomplish anything with the National Admin iStration on the other side.
 It looks as five should have to appeal to Congress again. l iS wearisome work, and 1t seemed last fall as if it had ended forever. But we are back in the slough of de spond from which Cleveland raised us with the Scott Act, and only Congress can pull us out.
 The chances of success even there are not very flattering. The ma iority in both Houses is friendly to the Administration, and there may be difficulty in passing a bill that would be an implied reflection upon lthe party leader And if the bill should be passed there is the pro bability of veto. Nevertheless our delegation should lead forlorn hope as galiantly as 1t can. Senator Stanford should inform his asso- ciates in the upper house that the decision procured by the Southern Pacific Company in New Orleans threatens the very existence of civ ilization on this Coast. Mr. Mor- row should tell his fellow Repre- sentatives that party policy requires the cancellation ot the anti-Chinese sentiment of the Pacific States, and perhaps, in spite of the last cleo ton. they will believe him. If all our Senators and Representatives stand together we may get so clear statement of the meaning of the law that even Attorney-General Miller cannot pretend to misunder- stand it.-San Francisco Examiner.

AN Fl Paso dispatch of a recent date says; Some time ago in the State of Chihuahua, a Mexican at tempted to hold up an American and shot at his victim. The Amer ican returned the fire, wounding the Mexican, who succeeded in mount ing the Americans horse and riding away. It is reported that he has since died. The American went to the nearest railroad station, Sama- layuca, purchased ticket to Paso del Norte and was soon in the Uni ted States. The railroad agent, Mir. Allen, for selling the ticket, was ar rested, confined in jail and refused trial, though ample bail has been repeatedly offered.

THERE is something radically wrong with the revenue laws of this Territory. This law should be over hauled by the next legislature. and means provided by which the As sessor have more time in which to do his work, and fix a compensa- ton commensurate with the labor to be performed. AS the law now stands this officer is completely at the mercy of the taxpayers, and has to take their statements as to the amount of property they pos sess. Had he more time allowed in which to make the assessment, 1t could be made more nearly correct, and the taxable property of the county. we are satisfied, would be one-third greater than at present. Take any one item as given in this year, examine 1t carefully, and then say whether it is even approximate ly correct or not. There are 4,021 horses returned. Who will dare say there are not more of that stock in this county. We understand there is one herd that ranges and is own ed within the confines of this coun- ", that has one-fourth of that num- Der. There are several others en- gagged in breeding this animal that have from fifty to three hundred head. Twenty-seven head of hogs? There are more than that many in the St. Johns precinct alone, to say nothing of the remainder of the county.
 If the taxpayers would look at this matter in the right light, they would see the fallacy of their pres ent course, and render a full and correct statement of all their prop erty. It takes so much money to defray the expenses of the county government, and that amount must be raised-that' IS absolutely neces- sary-no matter what the amount of taxable property, the current ex- penses have to be met. Any one can see this proposition, and can see, if they will only think for moment, that they save nothing by making fraudulent statements to- the assessor. The smaller the amount of taxable property, inc greater the rate of taxation. This is a simple proposition, that a blind man might see. If it requires three cents on the dollar, on an assessed valuation of $2,00O,0OO, to run the county government, it would only require a cent and a half on $4, ,000,- GOO. This is sclfevident. Then why not return all your property your taxes would be no greater.

a small black fly, called the Texas
fly, is proving particularly trouble
some to the cows this season. They
settle in great numbers about the
base of the horn, on top of the head
between the horns and on the edge of
the hoof, and are a regular torment.
Some people have their cows heads
and horns Amounted with carbolic
acid and tar diluted. Another rem
edy suggested is lard. A slight rub
bling with coal oil, it is said, might
also be of benefit.
