Street Railway.

TUT sOue tiino pdSb hunpOi vi
citizens have been quietly at work or
ganizing street railway company.
A committee was sent to examine the
cost of running such road. They
found the average expense was five
dollars per car. The capital stock
was fixed at $4,000 and is said to be
all taken. The matter was kept very
quiet, and but very little was known
of what was being done until the pro-
posed company presented an ordin-
ance to the Common Council last
Monday night, and asked that it be
passed.
We are glad TO record that such an
improvement is contemplated, and
hope it will succeed and prove pay
ing investment. The intention is to
lay tracks OH Second, Dock and CHS
holm streets and Washington avenue,
with spur to the fair grounds.
The company ask the sole right to
lay rails on the streets for street rail
way purposes. They also ask that
the Council give them the great priv
ilege of not paying any taxes for a
long period-thirty years. This part
of the proposed ordinance we can not
agree with. We think an exemption
from taxation for thirty years is too
great privilege to give any COM
pany. We believe it would be right
to exempt the property of the pro-
posed street railway from taxation
for a number of years, but we think
it but right and just that when the
street railway company shall be doing
a paying business and making fair
profit, that it ought to pay fair
share, and no more, Of the public
burdens.
We believe that street railway
franchise, ten years from now, would
be valuable one, and we also believe
il would prove paying business.
If the street railway should be ex-
empted from taxation for thirty years,
then every other industry in the city
that gives employment to labor, should
also be exempted for a like period.
If such was done, then the entire ex-
pense of the city would fall almost
wholly OH houses and lots, and the
result would be such heavy taxes that
people of moderate means would not
be able to own homes. We believe
the people of this city will vote any
reasonable concession to business en-
terprise, but we are inclined to the
belief that to exempt street railway
from taxation, after it has become
prosperous ands is paying fair divi-
dends to the investors, would not be
just. We do not believe in excessive
taxation. We have always opposed
high taxes. We believe that unrea-
sonable taxation is ruinous to com
munity and paralyzes business and
INJURIES the entire people. The taxes
should be light. New industries
claim extra privileges. and the people
of Alpena will, we believe, cheerfully
grant any reasonable request asked OF
them, but no industry or business
should ask especial privileges for a
life time. The people of one genera
ton have no right to place burdens
on future generation, 1t seems to
us therefore that a proviso should be
attached to the franchise providing
that when the street railway shall be
making reasonable profits, that il pay
fair share of the public burdens.

The protection spider has always
lured the granger fly with the siren
song that protection gave him home
market, erected factory at his door,
and thus insured his great prosperity.
But the abandoned farms, and the
ruined agriculture, of New England
are an absolute refutation of that Sc
ductive theory. The home market

the door; nevertheless farms are be-

For the year just closed the immi-
grafton was smaller by 100, 900 persons
than it was during 1888. Since 1882,
when 100000 came, there has been a
tolerably constant decline. Germany
has, as usual, sent the largest number
of any single country---nearly 100, 900.
From England, Scotland and Ireland
100000 came. From Norway and
Sweden about $4,000 came. The fig
ures for 1889 will complete the record
for seventy years, during which accu-
rate statistics have been kept. They
will show that the United States since
1920 has had from foreign countries
about 100000 people, Of whom
Great Britain has sent about 6,000,-
600, Germany about 100000, Nor
way and Sweden about 100000, and
France about 100000, Ireland alone
has sent nearly 100000. 1t will

NEW COUNTIES DO WELL.

Whenever there is a sufficient popua
ton and wherever there is sufficient tax
able property for the proper maintenance
OF county government, and when the
citizens of such sections desire new

There Is plenty OF room for half dozen
new counties in this territory, and the
question Of making them will doubtless
come UP in the coming legislature. On
general principles more than half Of the
counties in New Mexico are too large and
should be cut up into smaller municipal
tiles. Sierra and San Juan counties, two
of the new counties, are doing well, very
we'll indeed, and there is no question but
that Chaves and Eddy counties will do
we'll. So far, in that line, the expert
ments in this territory have turned out
we'll and conld be continued with benefit
to the people and the territory.

SILVER,

The New York Sun puts the situation
very concisely, justly and remarkably
clear, in referring to the free coinage Of
silver or material increase in its month.
ly coinage, when it says that the effects OF
such action would be:
First, to advance the price of silver
second, to advance the price Of farm prod
ucts and other commodities, and third,
to advance the price OF labor. Thus, the
paper continues, money would be made
cheaper and the debtor would be abe to
discharge his obligations really for less
than their face. He would in fact pay
less than he borrowed. What would there
be 50 terrible about this? And what awful
injustice would there be in it?
Money has been Z owing steadily dear
er during all the wears since the close OF
the war. The debtors have, therefore, 10
that long time been constantly paying
more than they had received. So il the
thing is reversed, will there be anything
worse than little evening up of adj
vantages? Win there be anything more
unjust than giving the debtors an inning?
They, indeed, had chan e, and pretty
good one, during the war. But it was
short, Rad sLalI it also be the last chance ?

ORGANIZE AID HELP YOURSELVES.

A tax payers association should be or.
ganzed. The prime Object OF such an
association should be the taking Of steps
toward the determination OF the legality
or ilegality OF the enormous debt piled
upon this county by its county commIs-
sioners within the past few years. 1t is
asserted and believed that much the
larger part OF this alleged debt is utterly
illegal and Invalid. There is no necessity
OF squandering money or paying ex-
orbitant lawyers tees, as WAS done in the
Coler case by the county authorities. A
strong organization OF the leading men
and tax payers can effect the desired end
without any such foolish actions. The

with some amusement. and even with
touch of apparent skepticism; but Percy
thought it right to take his cousin aside
for moment and point ont to her that
it is really neither wise nor safe to as
sumo that any girl can manage horse.
Such carelessness may have consequences
for which no subsequent remorse can
atone.
.'Oh, my dear Percy" exclaimed Lady
Belvoir, chow I should have detested
you if l had married you! You have
gentle, temperate style of rerroaching
one for ones sins which reminds me of
nothing so much as my first governess,
who always used to assure me it gave
her far more pain to box my ears than it
could give me to have them boxed.
However, don't detest you now; real
" quite like you. And Dorothy shan't
ride that horse any more, and by giving
reasonable notice you may count upon
always meeting her here when you do
me the honor to call. viii you stay and
lunch now"
Percy declined this invitation, plead
ing the pressure of official duties; but the
mere fact of its having been given suf-
feed to modify his views with regard to
the sex of which he had so lately pro-
claimed himself hater. Hence it may
be inferred that the love for Sybil Bel
voir, which during many years had been
an essential part of his existence, was
now finally dead and buried.
