From many English dispatches i, appears
that enemies outside of ireland. and
false friends at home are eudeavoring to
work ruin to the Irish cause. While for
midahte and hostile combination of Orange
men and Tories stands firm in the road
which leads to home rule, ami while au-
jible mutterings Of revolt come from the
Liberal representatives. the Irish people
are broken into sections and are, perhaps
uuconsciously, playing the game Of the
enemy helping those who would keep
their country a province for all time.
Mr.. John Dillon, NJ. r.. in an address
delivered in Roseommon, declared the great
danger to home rule lies in Ireland. Mr..
Gladstone. with marvellous fidelity and in
the teeth of every conceivable kind Of OBJ
struetion, is performing his part of the con-
tract. II is the duty Of the Irish people to
become united and to refrain from offending
by their attacking each other the suscep-
tibilities Of the English voters. In the pres
ens crisis every patriotic Irishman should
help and not hinder Mr.. Gladstone in the
great work he has in hand.
Il Is interesting to note the trend Of that
great body Of farmers, the Patrons of Hus-
handry. As expressed upon the great ques-

bic, and it would be good politics
for the democrats to support the
peoples ticket in all Of the reliably
republican states. BY so doing
they would weaken the enemy and,
at the same time, be doing them
selves no harm.
II the democrats would support
Weaver In Kansas, Colorado, Ne
vada, Idaho, Wyoming, the Dako-
tas and Nebraska, the republican
electors in all Of those states could
be defeated and Harrison's chances
rendered hopeless.
There is a good prospect that
Iowa can be carried by the demo-
Gratis, but it could certainly be
taken out of the republican col
umn. if the democrats Of the
state would vote for Weaver.
OF course there is no possibility
that Weaver can be elected; but if
the peoples party should receive
the support of the democrats in too
many states it might result in the
death of the republican party and
the arraying of the East against
the West on all political questions.
Such a condition of affairs would
not be desirable, and for this rea-
son it would not be good policy tc
assist the peoples party too much
in the present campaign.
In some of the states they do not
want the support of the democrats
but it is not quite apparent how
they are going to get out of count
ing votes cast for their electors by
democrats.
The democratic party at last hal
it in its power to throw the cleo
tion into the house and thus insur,
the election of a democratic Presi
dent md the opportunity ough
not to be thrown away.
This is the year for the demo
Gratis in democratic states to stant
to their guns and in republican
states it is the year to unite will
other forces SO that the enemy ma,
be routed all along the line.

SENATORS TALK.

Congress will investigate the
labor troubles at Homestead. A
number of senators have expressed
their opinions in reference to the
matter and it appears that Carne-
gle will get little sympathy from
that branch of congress. During
the discussion in the senate Mr..
Stewart said 1t seemed beyond
controversy that the managers of
the Carnegie works had employed
a murderous gang. 1t was the
most audacious and outrageous
transaction that had occurred in
many years. That three hundred
men should be brought from diff
ferent cities prepared for war,
brought during the night to make
war upon the laborers of the coun-
try, was a fact that must attract
the attention of the whole country,
and that could not be condemned
in too strong language. Mr..
Palmer said that the presence of
the Pinkerton armed force was in
contempt of the authority of the
state. Its manner was menacing
and insulting. 1t was difficult for
American citizens whether they
were in the right or wrong), tc
submit to be driven by an armed
force. He confessed that every
impulse of his mind tempted him
to say, he should dislike being
driven Though even in the wrong.

DEFAULT has been made in the
payment of the July interest of
Grant County bonds. This will
seriously impair the credit Of the
County which may, at some future
time, have occasion to borrow
money to pay of existing bonded
indebtedness. If the County can
not borrow the money the bonds
will have to be paid at maturity.
This will be pretty hard on the
taxpayers, but it will perhaps be
better for the County in the long
run to be unable to borrow money.
Boodlers will be unable to rob the
County, but it seems pretty hard
to have the credit of the County
injured.

New MEXICO miners are waiting

age bill. If the bill passes, President
Harrison will be as Henry Water
son says, not between the devil
and the deep sea, but between hell
and the iron works. If he vetoes
the bill the west will be against
him in the campaign, and if he
signs it he will lose support in the
east, because eastern republicans
are, almost without exception,
monometallists. The house ought
not to miss the opportunity to get

was also assessed by the County
assessor. Assuming tho tax rate
to be 2 per cent, the lowest rate
for three years, the amount Of tax
would be s14,73l.16. OF this
amount the County assessor gets 3
per cent, or s736.55.
It costs the County under the
fee system s756.55 to have the
property in this city assessed,
while it costs the city but S149.5O
for the work when let to the lowest
bidder, and there is a fair margin
for the assessor at that rate.
1t is true hat there is a little
more work TO be done in extending
the County tax rolls, but the work
could be done for considerably less
than 5000, or about one-fourth OF
what it costs to have it done now.
VIVA. is true of Silver City If
true of other precincts in the
County. The taxpayers will be
burdeued just as long as foul
prices are paid for services per
formed by County officers, and
there will be no change until the
people wake up and send some one
to the Legislature who will knocl
the fee system into smithereens.
The sooner this is done the bet
ter 1t will be for all the counties il
