THE CITY GOVERNMENT.


The city council held a business-like
session at its quarters in the court house
on Saturday evening, all members being
present. The question Of street lights was
first considered, and letter from the
electric company was read and considered.
The gas company had representative on
hand, and it was decided to call for sealed
bids for lighting the streets, the same to
be considered at a meeting of the council
tonight.
Mayor Thornton made the following
nominations:
For city marshal, Martin Quintana; for
city attorney, John 7. Victory ; for police
man, Pedro Delgado.
In executive session the council con-
frmed these nominations,
Alderman Quintana having been APP
pointed city marshal, it was thought best,
before he resigned as member of the
council, to settle the question as to which
four out of the eight aldermen should
hold office for the long and short terms
This WAS done by casting lots. The long
terms fell to Messrs. German, Garcia
Mondragon and Koch, who will hold
office until April 2, 1898, the terms of the
others expiring April next. This ques.
ton being settled, Mr.. Qnintana resigned
as member OF the council from the %
ward. The law authorizes the election
of his successor by majority vote of the
council.
The committee on drafting ordinances
made partial report, which resulted ii
the adoption of rules and by laws govern
ing the council The ordinances will be
reported at this evenings session.

before the governor Of Texas for several
days, and demanding the persons or Mrs.
Saunders and her sister, Miss Daniels,
charged by the Arizona & New Mexico
railroad with burning company store
house and two bridges last May and June,
was argued by an array of lawyers on
either side, with the result that the gov

the prisoners on the ground that "the
prosecuting witness was clearly unworthy
of belief and respect, and on such evil

The game of base ball played at the
college grounds yesterday between the
Black Stockings and Athletics, proved to
he the best played game of the season. 1t
can justly be said that it was won by the
battery work of Wynkoop and Dixon.
The battery work VI Garcia and Estes
WAS very creditable, bu: the Black Stock
irgs "tonnd" Garcia frequently, six sim
giles, two doubles, and three Dagger be-

made but one single off Wynkoop. Fol

The Black Stockings will again endeav-

good time to fence the grounds near the
narrow guage depot. They are vacant
and it would not cost much to enclose
them.

Dear Sir: We have to-day received
the pamphlet New Mexico and have care
fully read same.
There is not the slightest doubt but
what New Mexico has every probability
of becoming one of the most prosperous
states in the west and we have several in
quiries from parties here asking us in
formation, and We believe that if your
state made its resources known in Swift
zerland, Italy and Austria, capital and
settlers would soon try their chances and
we should suggest that small pamphlet
be printed in Italian giving full informa-
ton and we would post and distribute
them to every part OF the above mem
toned countries. The duty on printed
matter is $40 per 224 pounds.
We would advise that samples be dis
played here of all the products of your
state and these we would show to every
one.
The Canadian government has distri-
Duted thousands OF pampnIetS mere anu
have reaped great benefit, and as your
climate is far superior you have every
prospect of being more successful.
Mr. Handy, of the Chicago exhibition,
approving our suggestion has sent us a
number of pamphlets printed in Italian
relative to the fair and which We lave
sent to all INT uential parties.
We are the general agents in Italy for
nearly all the American railroads and the
Transatlantic steamship lines, and We
have our own line of steamers to and
from Italian ports so consequently We are
in communication with all travellers, and
we have our agents in every port and We
would be pleased to act as agents for your
state. We are, dear sir, yours very truly,
&. K. FAR & Co.

Sir John macdonald,s Programme.

According to the statements OF his nearest
political friends and advisers Sir John Mac
donald dissolved Parliament because as
negotiations were pending with the United
States looking to a reciprocal treaty, he
wanted to demonstrate to the United States
that he had his people behind him. This is
avery cunning way of putting it. The
truth is that Sir John found that the Liber-
ais were making a good deal of Roadway
with their scheme of unrestricted reciprocity
especially among the farmers, and he has un-
dertaken to head them off by the shrewd de-
vice Of pretending that he is in favor of
reciprocity too, but not reciprocity which
will go to the extent of jeopardizlng the po-
litlcal independence of Canada, as he alleges
the kind advocated by the Liberals
will. Sir John knows perfectly well that
the kind Of reciprocity he proposes will not
be acceptable to the United States and that
overtures looking to that end will be re-
1ected. But he may convince the people of
the Dominion that it Is practicable long
enough to get their votes. Then il his nego
tiatlons fail he can absolve himself from re-
sponsibility by placing the blame upon the
United States. Mr.. Blaine's letter saying
between the two countries, and that the
United States would not listen to proposal
for reciprocity confined to natural products,
has undoubtedly somewhat disarranged Sir
Johns plans and made it more difficult for
him to convince the voters of the practical
bility of his scheme.
With this one element Of practicability left
out. however, Sir Johns scheme is iunaoubt.
eddy one that would commend itself more
readily to the Canadians than the Liberal
scheme Of unrestricted reciprocity. In the first
place the majority of the Canadians would get
all out Of the restricted reciprocity that they
would get out Of the unrestricted variety.
The Canadian farmer would get the Ameri
can market for his products, the Canadian
fisherman would secure the same advantage
for his fish, and the Canadian miner the
same benefit for his coal and iron. The Ca
madam manufacturer of course would get no
dement, from reciprocity. but on the other
hand 1t would undoubtedly on the whole he
an injury to him. In the second place
such a restricted reciprocity as this
would imply no discrimination against Eng.
land, which Of course to many Canadians
would be unpalatable. In the third place 1t
would tend in very slight degree, IL at
all. to political union and therefore would
not affect national pride as the scheme of
commercial union is liable to do. If there

Judge Hall In his remarks before the tax
committee admitted that the economists
were generally opposed to the Vermont
method of getting at the personal property
of the community. The reason is that econo-
mists have made thorough study of this
system and know how inefficient it Is. The
idea has not been evolved from their Inner
consciousness but has been the result Of OBJ
servation and inquiry. Prof. Ely in his
work on taxation relates his experience
in the state Of Ohio which has law very
similar to the Vermont statute, as follows:
conversed with many reliable citizens, who
were frank with me in their expression of opinion
There was, naturally, wide divergence between
their various estimates; but nobody claimed that
more than comparatively small fractional part Of
the personal property was reached in the larger
cities, while Il was generally, If not unanimously,
portion OF personally reached-as, indeed, always
happens. One successful business gentleman,
well acquainted with different parts Of the state,
estimated the personal property taxed in Column
bus at from ten to twenty per cent. OF the whole,
and the amount reached in Cincinnati at a con-
siderably smaller percentage. On the other hand.
was informed that in Cambridge, Ohio, city of
few thousand inhabitants only, far larger pro-
portion OF the personal was reached.
conVerSeo with gentleman in Columbus, who
from practical experience, probably knows as
much about taxation as any one In The state of
Ohio, and was told that existing laws signay
failed to reach large masses of property; that the
burdens OF government rested on the poorer and
middle classes OF society, and that the wealthy
escaped.
A lawyer of standing in Columbus, who holds
estates in trust for several parties says that
feels capable OF committing robbery. arson, and
murder; because he is obliged 10 pay taxes on
the full value of estates OF two, three, and four
thousand dollars, belonging to little orphan child
rem, whereas he sees wealthy clients paying on
ten or fifteen per cent. of what he knows they are
worth. " - -

The Halifax Herald (Sir John Macdonald
organ thus early calls upon all the patriotic
citizens of the Dominion to rally and defeat
the Wiman conspiracy to deliver their coun-
try to the United States. The Tory plan of
campaign is to stigmatize every friend of
commercial union as traitor to his country.
and to rely upon national pride to pull the
veteran Macdonald through once more.

The fear expressed by one of the gentle
men who appeared before the tax committee
of the legislature that the effect of the YER
mont listing system would be to unduly tax
the property of very conscientious persons
and persons Of small means is we'll founded
That has been its effect wherever tried, not
excepting the State of Vermont, whtre the
amount of personal property is very small.
In West Virginia, where the system obtains
in substance, the testimony of the tax COM
missioners is that the moral heroes and wild
ows and orphans get taxed on every cent
they own, while shrewd traders escape as
sessment on large part of their holdings,
Substantially the same testimony comes
from Ohio. In the large cities, where per-
sonal property is most abundant and where
dwell the richest men, the per cent. of
personal property returned for taxa
tion is much smaller relatively than in the
small towns, showing that 1t is the people of
small means who bear the brunt of the per-
sonal property taxation in that State. 1t is
undoubtedly true that an inquisitorial sys-
tenn such as prevails in Vermont will swell
the amount of personal property which gets
on to the assessors list, but it by no means
follows that 1t therefore promotes equitable
taxation. On the contrary experience has
shown that it promotes directly the oppo-
site, and makes the burdens more UNEQUAL
than before.

fore Sir John Macdonald can convince the
Canadian that his scheme will be considered
by the United States, or can keep that
question out of their minds. it will prove
undoubtedly a more taking one with the
average Canadian than the broader scheme
OF commercial union or unrestricted reciproc
ity advocated by his opponents. Henceforth
is safe to assume. therefore, that all his
energy and cunning will be devoted to con-
vlnclng the Canadian voters that the United
states will look favorably upon plan OF reci-
procity that will include nothing but the
natural products of the two countries.
