AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad, held at Topeka on the 9th
instant, Mr.. W. B. Strong was re-elected
president. The office Of the president
was transferred from Boston to Chicago.
Mr.. Strong is well known to the people
of New Mexico. Our people feel very
friendly toward the Santa Fe railroad.
Hence Mr.. Strongs reelection as presl-
dent is a very satisfactory one. He is
50 we'll and favorably known as to
need no commentator at our hands,
We are of the opinion that he is the very
man to pull the Santa Fe through anc
make it and connecting lines one of the
grandest, best managed and most profit
able railway systems in the country. His
reelection is proof that the stockholders
and directors share this opinion. MIR
| Strong is very well acquainted with New
Mexico affairs, and is very kindly dis
posed toward our people. The Santa F.
road under his management will do all
can for the advancement and for the pro
lection of New Mexico. Mr.. Strong's re
election, as we have said before, vii
prove fortunate event for New Mexico
railway and commercial interests, and /
a very satisfactory and pleasing one to gu

WHILE considering the question OF
equal and fair assessments 1t IS well TO
call attention to the fact that the law re-
quires that the description OF any piece OF
real estate returned for taxable purposes
must appear upon the assessment roll IN
such manner as to identify the same
fully in case tax sale is found to be nee
essarv. 1t is fact disclosed by al ex-
animation OF the returns that most OF
them are faulty to the last degree. A sale
upon execution to collect taxes would
amount to nothing, and no man would be
willing to purchase.
These are facts and can not be excused
on the ground of ignorance.
Every effort on behalf of the officials
should be used to secure a full return and
fair valuation for this year.
Judging from the returns, it seems as il
the taxes in Santa Fe county were raj sec
from property on the plaza and few In
dividuals; the bulk of real estate in thlE
county seems to escape taxation.
Now, it is high time that a stop were
called in this matter. Let the assessor
and the board OF county commissioners
look after this very important matter III
proper manner We propose to hamme

Cullom. Mr.. Swan stated that he had

TEXAS IRON INDUSTRY.
A Small Beginning by the State and It's
Results.
What the Development of the Iron Ore Fields
of Eastern Texas Has Done
and VIII Do.
New Birmingham Times.

In the Times illustrated edition of Au-
gust oath brief sketch of the iron in
dustry of Texas, since the earliest
days, was given, and it was there shown
that the efforts to develop the iron IN
dustry of this state has been met with
many failures. principally owing to poor
management. For thirty or forty years
or even longer, it has been known that
Eastern Texas was full of iron,
but the early settlers were
too busy fighting Indians to pay
much attention to It, and soon
after the civil war came on and the re-
suit of that terrible period is known to
everybody. The effect of it was to stop
the internal progress in all the Southern
states for years, but the day of prosperity
has dawned for Texas, and the irOn-ore
beds VIII be developed. For four or five
years the state has been operating q
furnace two miles from the town site of
New Birmingham, and through the efforts
of Mai. Goree the results obtained have
been marvellous. The iron produced from
this furnace is eagerly sought after and
has been proved to be of superior quality
to any in the United States. The super
intendent of the furnace, Mr. r A. Bar
rett, who has had more experience with
Texas iron than any other man in the
country says that charcoal pig iron can
be made for Sll per ton. This Is given
to show the northern and eastern iron
dealers and furnace men that the pro-
duction of pig iron here is as cheap as
anywhere else, everything taken
into consideration When the
furnace here, it did so with the
view of utilizing the convict labor, up to
that time it had been found difficult to
keep employed, but the effects of that
furnace will do more to develop the iron
industry of Texas than it was thought
ever would be done when the project was
first inaugurated. The direct result of
that furnace can be seen in the establish
ment of the city of New Birmingham aud
the two tifty-ton furnaces it will contain,
with the prospects of more to follow.
The iron industry CT Texas is in its in
fancy, but no state ever mad such gilt
tering prospects for rapid wealth in
this line. Within year from
to-day New Birmingham, with the
state furnace, will be- shipping
from thirty-five to fifty thous-
and tons of pig iron annually. AS soon
as this is placed on the market in suf-
ficient quantities, it is very certain TO
create demand for it to the expense and
detriment of other iron centers that now
control the fell. It's undoubted
superior quality has been tested in varI-
Gus ways, and as soon as there is enough
of it a special demand for Texas iron is
sure to be developed When New Biz
mingham gets to selling forty or fifty
thousand tons of this iron every year,
other furnace companies will certainly
be brought here, and the iron industry of
the state will prove TO be one of the rich
est S5sOurces of Texas.

ports of cotton were 4 ,742 ,745 bales, and

1885 80 Northern mills took l $50 1856.
while 4S6 sos bales were taken by South

In connection with the movement of

that New Orleans received 26.13 per
cent. of same. Norfolk came next with

spindles are said to have been increasing
very rapidly of late, until certain pro-
ducts of Southern mills have become

these goods are in over production
The most conspicuous instance is what
are described as Southern '.plaids, -
known by the trade before the war as
NEGRO plaids. - So also the stocks of

dundant and prices unsatisfactory. In

matter but has it under advisement and
it is altogether probable he will fill the
chair. His selection Is a good one.
Tanner friends say he resigned on the
condition only that he was to be made
recorder of deeds of this city, but this
is doubtful. They try to put the best
possible face on the matter and want to
make it apparent that Tanner resigned, ,
but this all bosh. Tanner was bounced
and there is no other construction to be
placed upon it. Some of Warner 5

CAIRO, ILL.,, Sept. 13.-There are
symptoms of race war in Missouri, at
Dexter, forty-two miles from here. The
people of that section have for years ex-
Saded al. negroes from among them. A
short tiqfs ago man named Williams,
ssttle6bn a farm near there and
ef1gagaa dozen negroes to work
for hip. FIftyse$ armed white men
waited npsE hin this week and told
him he must get rid of the negroes.
He said they might kill him first. The
armed men returned to town, where
they circulated a paper pledging the
signers to stand by the regulators.
About five hundred men signed the
paper. About fifty men side with Will
Jams, among them hardware mer-
chant, who has imported Winchesters
and ammunition to arm his side. Fur
