whether it is true that under re.

in several thousands Of dollars per

of courts over and above foes col

"Litigant" is Informed that
such is not the case. Certain ig

As mater of fact, the several
clerks of court in New Mexico,
haze, during the past eight months,
turned into the Treasury the sum
of 81, 543.49 which represents
the excess OF fees collected, over
and above the salaries allowed BY
law.

DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF E. G. BOSS
Ex-Gov. Bombastes furioso Ross Is
bitter opponent of New Mexico's admls,
sion ~ a state. In Ashenfelter's paper
the Headlight, he just froths at the mouth
in publishing a letter to Hon. q. H.
Mansur, member of congress from
Missouri. Now, We vii publish, In
snswer to Ross abuse and falsehoods
about the 18th legislative assembly, ali
extract from the charges preferred against
him by Hon. N. B. Laughlin, ex-Demo
cratic member Of the house and ex-Demo'
era ic member of the council OF the leg
,slatiye assembly of New Mexico. The
charges are dated April 26, 1887. Mr..
Lsuyhlin's opinion of the then governor
ia good enough for us. We respectfully
refer it to Hon. c. H. Mansur.
at is not the intention here to prefer
.rv specitic charges, for to do that one

SAINTS Fe, with commission rs governor
in his pocket, at 3 o'clock in the morning
how he sent out for the people to be
awakened and witness his coronation

ARIzONA,s JOHNsTOWN DISASTER

The destruction of the Walnut grove
water storage reservoir near Phoenix, A.
T., and the loss of life accompanying it
constitutes q calamity for which the south
west may have to suffer not little il the
moral it teaches is not taken advantage
of and acted upon. This was thought TO
be one OF the most substantial Of
dams, built upon scientific principles at Il
cost OF 100000 or more. The details OF
the disaster are yet to be learned, so that the
blame can not now be placed where it
belongs. but undoubtedly faulty construc-
lion will be found to lie at the bottom OF
the affair A great deal of timber, both
sawed and in the shape OF hewn logs,
was used in its construction. Ii
was only little while ago that
the scientific journals OF the country
were filled with descriptive articles on the
subject Of this enterprise, and civil engi-
neers held it up as model plan for solving
the problem OF water storage at the head
of mountain valleys in the west. Bu
the inevitable flood came down the canon
aud swept it away like 80 much straw.
Just at this time, when such vast sums OF
.loney and much of the best engineering
talent of the country is about to engage in
similar water storage enterprises through
out the west, this event may
have depressing effect, but it can
only be temporary, and eventually
prove beneficial if it leads to the
exercise of every precaution in the begin
ming and the adoption OF better methods
in construction. Of course, cloud bursts
can not be we'll guarded against, but
careful calculations on every point touch
ing the water she'd, volume of flow, even
to an extraordinary degree, should be
made, and such dams should be con
structed of solid masonry, in all cases,
except where only a comparatively small
volume of water is sought to be stored.
The details of the Arizona disaster will
be read with deep interest throughout
New Mexico.

OUR side street nelghbor, the Democrat
can now have ample time to contemplate
the result OF its political fight against

Were New Mexico state and had she

A MARKED DIFFERENCE,

There is a marked difference between
the present administration and the al
eyed reform administration OF Grover
Cleveland. Under the latter cabinet OF
ticers and government officials were cav
alters. They did pretty much as they
pleased, always having an eye to the
main chance, namely politi al aggrandlze'
ment and personal gain. Complaints
made were always ignored, and things
we're run under an alleged reform banner,
but in reality i'll order to perpetuate Demo
cratic rule. Under the present admiuis-
tration q vast change ior the better has
taken place. Especially is this noticeable
in The interior and postoifice departments.
fhe heads OF these are sensible, energt tic,
straight and self-made men; they
are OF the people and administer
their very important departments
for the people. When complaints are
made they are investigated and if any
wrong is found it is immediately remedied ,
