NEsCILLA VALLEY, New Mex, Jan. ). 1893.
To the Editor Of The Progress:
Your contributor, GroUler, must
not fiatter himself that the South
ern people" have a monopoly of its
''colonels." We have them ont here
as well, Indeed, when colonel is men
toned strangers frequently inquire
whether it is resi- or only a DOna
ana county colonel.
Our coloDels ont here probably dif-
fer somewhat from your Southern
sort. Ours are inclined to be ag-
gressive fellows, especially in 4 po-
litioal way.
In our last political campaign it
was contest between the people and
the colonels, and there is much con
ISOLATION in the fact that the people
won, no man being elected who ever
appropriated or had applied to him
the title of colonel If Growler and
people of like mind will assault them
vigorously they can be easily routed.

APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON.

Lynch law is said to be remnant
of border necessities when organized
law was unknown, but there are oc-
casions when 1t seems that justice
has no other supporters. The law
has ceased TO hold the entire conf
dence of the people and that because,
Ill the hands of shrewd lawyers, it can
be made subject to the will of these
lawyers and made TO obey their be-
hests. Even convictions, be the evi-
dence so strong and positive,
do not close the gates against
the manipulations of these
paid lawyers. For scarcely
mas Que of these convicts served out
three or perhaps five years of his
life sentence when we note in some
newspapers that application will be
made for a pardon for Jim Smith"
This attempt to secure pardon has
already been inaugurated for muir

parish. Jim Walker being the man

to set the wires in motion to get one

School Board Proceedings.

A meeting of the school board was
held yesterday and the resignation of
Mrs. Grubbe as superintendent Of the
city schools, which had been presented
at a previous meeting of the board
was formally accepted. After taking
this action the board unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, We have been compelled to
accept, in the face of our earnest pro-
tests and solicitations to the contrary,
the resignation of Professor Sarelia G.
Grubbe, superintendent of the public
schools of Salem, Oregon, therefore be
it
Resolved, That the board deeply re-
grets the loss of the valuable services
Of so industrious, painstaxing and
efficient officer.
That the public schools of our city,
having attained the acme of their use
fulness, are pre-eminently indebted to
her invaluable labors for their present
high degree of organization and eff
cheney.
That her refined and dignified meth
DDS of intercourse and her superior
educational qualifications have won for
her both the affection and confidence
and approval of patrons and this board
And by her superior tact and leader
ship, out of any tendencies to disorder,
conflict of opinion or want OF mutual
friendship, she has always readily
evolved harmony, peace and unity.
No action was taken looking to the
election Of a successor to Mrs. Grubbe
as there was not a full attendance,
only Waite, Byrd and Johnson and
Clerk Holmes being present. 1t is
probable that there will be a special
meeting called before the time for the

WHY THE GOVERNOR ACTED.
Picture Of Distress in Umatilla

Governor Pennoyer was seen this
morning and said he had advlces from
q number Of counties in the state where

a basis of bis letter to the legislators,

GOVERNOR PENNoYER: Dear Sir
The financial situation in Umatilla
county is terrible to contemplate.
/ Last year the grain crop WAS short
while this year the quality may be a
little better but not any more bushels
per acre while the price is only about
three fourths as much as last year.
Hence the crop will not any more than
pay the expense of raising and what
little money there is in the country is
locked up, and can not be borrowed on
the best Of security. These being facts
unless something is done for the relief
of the people aud that soon the creditor
lass can attach a PERSONS property
and sell him out for the amount of his
bill Notwithstanding the property be
actually worth from ten to twenty
times the debt.
If the creditor class should attempt
that mode of procedure, anarchy, riot
and murder will follow. God grant
that it may not come to this
The way it now stands we, as debtors
are at their mercy.
