New Hampshire has comprehen-
sive code of temperance laws, and their
constitutionality has been thoroughly
tested in the courts. If these laws
were enforced, beyond question, the
liquor traffic would be pretty effcctual-
ly suppressed in that State. But the
fact is there is much liquor sold in that
State, more than ought to be under the
law. The Gov. has issued a proclama-
ton urging upon town and city officials
the Importance of enforcing the law.
He does not think it advisable to be in
fuenced by popular opinion. 1t is not
for officers to question the constitutions
ality of law but to enforce it. If pub
lie sentiment is averse to law it has a
remedy in the removal of the law. The
neglect to enforce any law tends to bring
all law into contempt. Gov. Goodell's
position is a sound one and he has the
support of the best men of the State.
Some other governors might safely inn
itate his example.

EDITORIAL NOTES.


With this issue we introduce our
readers to the year 1890. OF course,
each one for himself must take all the
risk in forming its acquaintance. We
bring this new year forward because
the old year has gone, slid out, been
brushed off into the dust-pan of eternity,
and it joins on just where the old one
breaks off. The year that has just left
us came in as mild as a sucking dove,
but it proved frisky fellow. Fire
and food and accident by land and sea
make up an uncanny record. We trust
the record of the new year will be clear
er and brighter. We are entering up
on the last decade of the 10Th century.
We have only ten years left in which
to shape the world for its entrance up
on new century. There is much that
ought to be done, more that might be
done, and we are firmly persuaded, a
great deal that will be done. We ought
to enter upon the new year cheerfully
and hopefully, buckle down to the bus
iness of life, pay our debts as far as
we can, and shape our estates so that
our successors can settle them without
legal controversy. So far then we
shall act the part of good citizens.

DAVIS AND GRADY.

Two representative men of the South
have recently died. The ceremonies
over the remains of jefferson Davis had
scarcely ended before Henry W. Gra-
DIV was stricken down. Davis was the
representative of the old South, the en-
bodiment of the spirit Of the lost cause.
He seemed like a relict of anti-rebellion
times, and in his death he was honored
most as memory. Grady came upon
the scene after the war had passed. He
was representative of the new South.
Davis was a prominent figure through
all the period when the slavery contro-
versy was most bitter, and was most
uncompromising in his attitude towards
those who sought to destroy the insti-
tuition. Grady came forward just in
time to look upon the ruins of the slave
and to assist in building up
thereon a new order of things in which
The South should find a fuller, freer and
more prosperous life. Davis may not
have been a cruel man but the slave
gained few or no favors at his hands. |

The holidays in the South were more
than usually lively this year. There
were numerous outbreaks in the race
war that seems to be going on. More
negroes than whites were the victims,
as is usually the case. In South Car
olina eight negroes were taken from a
jail and lynched, some of whom were
only detained as witnesses. About
Atlanta there was quite lively time.
What is to be the outcome Of all these
troubles ? is an important question.

favor the comforting upon the voters OF

additional taxes for such district for such

With all possible Difference to the I'M
doubted stupidity Of our anti-statehood
contemporaries, We can not concede that
! the man who wrote the above had
the slightest belief in what he wrote
But he thought that miners were fools
enough to believe him, and so be induced
to vote against their best interests. In
| this he is mistaken, as he will discover
next month.
He does not quote the whole sentence
| from the constitution and hopes that his
readers will not refer to the original
which reads as follows;
mining claims before patent shall be
taxed only upon the gross output in a
manner to he prescribed by law"
This is limitation on the taxing power
in favor of the owners of unpatented min
ing claims. All property is subject tc
taxation and without such clause as the
above, every mining claim would be sub
ject to tax like any other property. The
value OF all improvements, both below
and above ground as we'll as the intrinsic
value OF the mine, would be taxable
Under the proposed constitution tax
can be levied only on the gross output
The owner OF an unpatented claim may
value it at 81 900, 900, and yet pay no tax
if he does not work it. He may have pu
on it 100000 worth of machinery anC
Improvements, yet escape taxation the
moment that he ceases, from whatever
cause, to take out ore.
In most mining states provision is made
for the taxation of gross output and sur
face improvements. Our miners are ex
empted from all but possible tax on thu
output.

from March 4 1889, to March 1890,
there being about the same number OF
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1S90) there was received the
amount OF 5000, from the same source.

indication east and west and wherever

come to New Mexico, that this territory is
not safe and good place to come to, and
reside in and to invest money; the bust
ness men and the citizens OF New Mex

or any other property here had best con-
slider this matter in its true light. Will

were claimed for about 100000 acres;

the White Cap method of dealing with
land grants and landed property in San
Miguel and Mora counties? Is he in

grants? How should they be adjusted ?

ing his position. The bosses at the head

THE argument of the bosses, who have

personal abuse of prominent republicans.

cessful or not.
