Some anonymous %ignoramus
writes in the st. Louis Radical
organ accusing Senator Vest OF
working against Missouri in at
lacking the tax that protects the
Pennsylvania coal barons. There
is not a bushel of coal dug in Mis-
souri, the price of which is enhanc-
ed by that tax. The coal Of Mis-.
souri, and Illinois commands its
own markets, and if coal were on
the free list would not compete
with foreign coal. The coal tax
is a device to enrich the men who
employ pauper labor at pauper
wages in Pennsylvania and the
other coal States of the seaboard at
the expense of the consumers in
those States and of all lines of
manufacture.-St. Louis Republic.

 The article in the Democrat relative to misdeeds purported to have been done by the undersigned is lie from begin ming to end. It is true that 1 was in Parajito and attended dance at Teo- doro Garcia's house. There was row in progress at the dance and the young boy, who seemed to be the instigator Of the row, was ordered out Of the house by me. The Justice of the Peace inter- fered and struck me in the breast, when 1 retaliated by striking him. l did not strike him with q gun, nor did stab Albino Rubi and Crespin Moraga with knife, as the article charges me.

One day last week two young men ar lived in St. Jof ms, and put their horses Tn the corral If Wm, Jackson. After remaining two or three days, they con cluded ogo on to Galluy-paid their bills, saddled up and stalted out of town. When opposite the residence of Jose Garcia, CIemente Baca met them and seized hold of their pack animal, at the same time demanding dollar from them for watering their horses while in the corral of Mir. Jackson. As they had paid their bills, they regarded the de mand in the light of extort; Son, and re fused payment, telling Baca to turn the horse loose. This Baca refused to do, whereupon one of them, Felix Miller, dismounted and struck Baca with the lash end of his quirt. Baca then changed his hold on the horse from his right to h;s left hand, and threw his right hand behind him as If to draw pistol. Miller then turned his Guirt and struck him with the butt end, which induced Eaca to release his hold, and the two went on their way. Baca went before Justice Ruiz, swore out warrant for the arrest of the man who struck him. Sheriff Creaghe started after them, and from the description given him, arrested Thomas Gray, and brought him back to St. Johns. On the trial. however, it was developed that Gray was not the man who had struck Baca, and the Sheriff had to go and catch Miller, which he did and brought him back, Miller was held to answer before the grand jury in the sum of $l00.

Word came from Springerville Mon- day afternoon, that one of the young bloods, who lives in that vicinity had en- te ed the house of lady in the above named place, and drawn pistol on her. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Ba- gan, taken before Judge Marble, his pis- tol cOnfscated, and fine of S60 imposed on him, winch was aiterward, at the so- licitation of some friends of the afore- said young blood, remitted, and his pis- tol restored to him It has always been our impression that an offence of this character came under the head of a fel- ony, which will not admit of a fine, but the prisoner must be bound over to await the action of the grand jury. It appears Judge Ma ble holds different views on this subject. Where he gets his authority to remit fine after it is imposed, and to restore property which the law coniscates, is beyond our ken. Perhaps he will be able to point it out, however, when called on by the proper authorities.
