THE report Of the capitol COM
mittee Of the late legislature is a
very severe one and shows conclu-
sively that it was the fault of the
capitol commission that the build
ing was not insured. AT the time
OF the investigation soon after the
FIRE the members of the capitol
commission urged as a reason that
the building was not insured that
there we're no funds with which to
insure it. The committee brought
out the fact that an offer was made
to the commission to insure the
building at low rates and wait un-
til the next Legislature should
make the necessary appropriation.
The capitol commission seems to
have been governed by the Gov
ernor who thought there was no
necessity for insuring the capitol.
He argued that similar buildings
in the east were not insured and
that a watchman ought TO be a
sufficient protection. Had the
watchman performed his duties
properly it is certain that the cap
itol would not have been burned.
The investigations of the commit
tee brought out the facts that both
the day and night watchmen were
notoriously incompetent and that
they we're frequently away from
the building. For more than a
week before the fire it was known
that the water supply was not suf-
ficient but no STEPS we're taken to
protect the building. With the
facts as ascertained by the COM
mittee before the people of New
Mexico il is hardly probable that
the citizens of Santa Fe will ever
have the pleasure of seeing the
capitol restored in that city. 1t
will be built in some other town
where ordinary precautions will
be taken to prevent its destruction
by fire.

The Enterprise makes an at
tempt to defend the late sheriff
and treasurer because they are
now illegally holding large sums
Of Grant County money. Ex-Sher-
iff Lockhart still holds S22, ,OOO( in-
stead Of $4,000, as stated by the
Enterprise) which he collected
from the taxpayers; and ex-Treas-
urer Berg holds about $4,000 Of
County money in addition to a
large amount of public school
money. Nobody had specially
attacked these ex-ofEicials yet, but
as the Enterprise has felt that il
was necessary to defend them
before they were attacked it has,
in SO doing, called public attention
to the matter, and we earnestly
recommend the County Commits
sioners to promptly force the pay
ment of this money, or, if this can
not be done, send to the penitenti-
ary the men who have robbed the
County.

Now that the democrats have
entire control of the legislative
and executive departments of this
government, there ought to be
something done TO cut down the
enormous pension payments. The
republicans were afraid to do this
simply because they knew that a
reduction of pensions or any adj
verse pension legislation would
lose them the G. A. r. vote and
without that vote they could not
have carried a single election since
1879. The democrats are under
no obligations to the G.. A. r. and
are looking for no G. A. r.. votes.
The pension steal has grown to
such enormous proportions that it
requires more than a third as much
to pay pensions as it does to pay
all the other expenses OF the gov
ernment, and all this on account
of war which closed nearly %
years ago. The pension rolls have
been constantly increasing and the
dependent widows and orphans are
numbered by the tense of thousands
and are becoming more and more
clamorous. At the rate pensions
have been allowed during the past
four years it would not take long
TO have all the relatives of the
soldiers in the late war on the
pension rolls. A halt will be
called during this administration
and before the end of Cleveland's s
term the pension appropriation
viii be growing less.

WE are glad to learn that there
is a united attempt on the part of
the new board to require prompt
payments of public money due
from defaulting officials, and that
it appears to be their intention to
force the bondsmen of these Off
cials to pay up if the defaulters
will not do so. We congratulate
the members of the board on their
course, and would warn them that
they must expect to be cajoled or
threatened into abandoning their
present course by those interested
in supporting the defaulters. They
may however rely on the sympa-
thy, encouragement and praise of
the long-suffering taxpayers, who
by this time are heartily sick of
being continually plundered, and
are now getting determined that
the old regime of robbery shall
cease and the robbers be pun
ished.

BY this time next year there
will be in operation in this country
a new tariff schedule which will be
in accord with the ideas of the
democratic tariff reformers. 1t is
safe TO say that the new tariff will
not be 60 per cent. on wooden
goods end 10 per cent on dia-
monds. There will be a high
tariff on Injuries and a low tariff
on necessaries. There is no rea-
son why a millionaire should get
diamonds admitted at lower rate
than a workingman has to pay on
a woolen shirt. A prominent
republican attorney of this city
said recently that there was some
thing wrong about the public pol
icy of this country which allowed
a few men to get nearly all the
wealth and he is not alone in this
matter. The people of this coun-
try have become tired of protec-
ton which has been for years
simply a device for allowing the
manufacturers to get rich and
which, at the same time, compels
the consumer to pay a high price
for all that he buys. Residents
of this country have to pay higher
prices for articles manufactured
in the United States than the res
idents of any other country have
to pay. A Mexican merchant can
purchase an American made steel
plow in the City of Mexico cheap
er than an American merchant can
buy the same plow in Chicago or
st. Louis, Notwithstanding the
fact that the plow has been freight
ed thousands of miles to the City
of Mexico. The leading makes of
American sewing machines are
sold cheaper in Canada than they
can be purchased at the general
Offices of the companies at New
York or Buffalo, and American
made watches are sold in Europe
cheaper than any wholesale dealer
in this country can buy them.
The same is true with reference
to thousands of other articles man.
ufactured in this country. Manu-
facturers charge high prices simply
because they are protected here
from competition with other man
ufacturers. They say that their
business would be ruined were it
not for the protective tariff and
yet, at the same, time they are
selling their products in the mar
kets of the world and in competi-
tion with manufacturers of all ma
tions. The more protection they
have the more they want.

SENATOR HILL is sound on the
silver question. He ID in favor of
the repeal of the Sherman act and
the passage of a free coinage bill
without any assistance from
Europe. eAs long as the United
States depend on Europe for set
tlement Of the silver question our
silver dollars will be current no.
where but in the United States.
Free coinage viii put stop to the
traffic in silver and make a silver
dollar the equal of the gold dollar
in any of the markets Of the
world.
Southwest-sentinel., 1893-03-14

The Enterprise asks where all
the County finances are with which
to pay current expenses. Well,
during the last two months in
which the Enterprise has been so
industriously abusing the present
commissioners because they have
been trying to prevent the County
getting into financial stralghts, the
Enterprise has received S498.51
for stationery; there has been paid
for the keeping of County prison
ers, $786.25, for January, and
S726.50, for February; making a
total of S1,512.75 for that item.
That accounts for quite a little of
the current expenses. The bill
miscalled can Act for the relief of
taxpayers" passed by the late leg
islature, extending the time for
payment of taxes to July LIST, is
likely also to prove a pretty seri-
Gus matter to this County for the
next few months by preventing
the collection of money enough to
keep the County expenses paid
during that time; the Enterprise,
If it is desirous of benefitting the
County, should therefore do all in
its power to help the present COM
missioners collect moneys still due
the County from the late default
ing treasurer and others instead of
sneering and casting slurs at them
because they try to get the money
that is due the County and is alb
solutely needed to pay current ex-
penses.

Ex-SHERIFF LocKHART is still
holding on to the few thousands
of dollars which he collected dur
ing his term as sheriff and did not
turn over to the treasurer for the
reason as he explained that the
levy might not be legal. Nobody
seems to be getting any particular
benefit out of this money but Mr.
Lockhart, and as he will very likely
not turn it over to anybody until
required to do so by the supreme
court of the Territory he will have
the lingering of it for a number of
moons.
Southwest-sentinel., 1893-03-14

SENATOR SHERMAN wants to
change the time for the expiration
of the terms of Office of the Presi-
dent, vice-Presideut, senators and
representatives from the 4th of
March to the Both of April, the
law to take effect SO as to provide
for the next inauguration to take
place on the Both of April 1897.
This would make Cleveland's term
of Office the longest of any of the
Presidents and would lengthen the
second session of each congress by
a little over eight weeks.

IT is not likely that taxpayers
viii be in any hurry to pay taxes
before the first Of July this year
as no penalty attaches until after
that date. Hereafter taxes will be
payable on the installment plan
one-half will be due and payable
before the first of January of each
year and the other half will be
payable at any time before the
first of July of the following year,
or more than a year after ASSESS
ment. It is hoped that by making
the taxes payable at different times
they will be made more promptly.

THE treaty for the annexation OF
the Sandwich Islands which wasbe
fore the senate has been withdrawn.
tits reported that President Cleve-
land will appoint a commission TO
go to the islands and investigate
matters beiqre making any recon-
mendation to congress in the mat
ter. The appointment of a CON-
mission will delay annexation for
some time and may possibly result
in no action being taken.

The Atlanta Constitution is au-
thority for the statement that 80
per cent. of the democratic party
desire the free coinage of silver.
This is perhaps a pretty high esti-
mate, but it is certain that a great
majority of the members of the
party are in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. Thous-
ands Of these are so firm in their
convictions that if a free coinage
bill does not become a law before
the close of the present admins
tration they will vote for the third
party candidate if the regular dem
ocratic candidate is not pledged
unequivocally for silver. The
strength of the silver movement
was felt in some of the states in
the last election and the friends
of silver are increasing all the
time. President Cleveland has al
ready seen the folly of calling an
extra session of congress this
spring to consider the silver ques-
ton and by the time congress
meets next fall he win see that
free coinage is inevitable and will
make no objection TO the passage
of such a law.
Southwest-sentinel., 1893-03-14

PURCHASES of silver under the
Sherman act will continue for sev-
eral months yet at least. No sill
yer legislation can be hoped for
until about the beginning of next
year. BY that time the friends Of
silver will be in a position to pass
a free coinage act and the silver
bugbesg viii be a thing of the
past.

GRESHAM is starting out we'll.
He has appointed a prominent
democratic worker for first assist
ant secretary of state and it is
dollars TO doughnuts that no mug

party had outlived its usefulness
aud had the courage to get on the
right side Of the political fence
and now he is going to stay there.

BY THE time the next legislature
meets it is more than probable
that none Of the members will dare
to vote for the repeal of the law
regulating fees and salaries which
was passed by the late Legislature
TO go into effect in two years. Tax
payers are very tired of the fee
system now and the situation is
getting no better very fast.

THE procession of republican
Office holders has commenced to
move and it will keep moving
until all the republicans in the
appointive federal offices have

receiver of public money at Res

GOVERNOR GRAY, Of Indiana,
has been nominated for minister

This action ought to set at rest

ROBERT A. MAXWELL, of New

REPUBLICAN oficeholders will
save the President the trouble of
removing them if they promptly
forward their designations to
Washington TO take effect at once.

ally.

The idea that senators ought TO
be elected by the popular vote is
gaining strength rapidly since the
Wrangles in the state legislatures
OF several Of the states which
ought to have elected United States

sumed in a futile attempt to elect

THE republican secretary of the
treasury left it with little over a
million dollars in free gold in its
vaults or about one-twentieth as
much as the democratic secretary
left in March 1889. This shows
how much there is in republican
economy.

valleys are gladdened throughout che en-

Another prolific source OF wealth to the
city Of Fairhaven lies in the abundance
of fish which crowd its tributary waters.
From the mouth OF the Columbia
river to the famous cod fisheries of
Alaska, all Of which find their most cen

bay, immense quantities Of salmon, cod,
halibut, rock, herring, smelt, sturgeon
and various other useful fish prophesy
the erection of numerous canneries in the
near future, a large establishment being
already in operation in the nelghbOrin0
city of Blaine. With respect to its trans
portati0n facilities, FairhaVen offers ad
vantages second to no other city of the

Belingham bay is unquestionably the
finest harbor of Puget sound, and is so re-
garded by all who are familiar with its
splendid advantages. Combining an area
of eighty square miles with an average
depth OF ten fathoms, and being thor |
oughly land locked, it affords a safe and |
reliable anchorage with a sufficient /
capacity to accommodate the maritime |
fleets of the world, vessels sailing directly |
from the ocean to its wharves without the |
aid Of towage.
Regarding its railroad facilities, 1t is
only necessary to add that two great
transcontinental roads already carry the
city's commerce, with third only fifteen
miles away, and making strenuous efforts
to enter its portals.
So that, whether looked at from the
standpoint of unsurpassed scenic gran
deur, or tho munifcence and splendor of 1
natural resources, or the facilities which |
place its commerce in the markets Of the
world, the city of Fairhaven stands peer
less and majestic above its many rivals |
for municipal supremacy in the growing
and matchless state of Washington.

An important item which ought to
be mentioned as of special worth in
illustrating the elements Of prosperity
for Bellingham bay, not mentioned in
the article quoted above, is the num-
Der of wealthy men and corporate on,
who have property interests here, and
who are working towards the point OF
making this the leading port of tn,
Pacific northwest. Without stopping
to enumerate the amount of private Of
corporate capital at the disposal of tn,
following gentlemen and companies
owning property on the Bay, it is new
ertheless both interesting and encOur-
aging to know that among those whc
have had faith enough in the future
of this point to make large invest
ments, are the Larrabee brothers, ID. o.
Mills, Hon. Whitelaw Reid, p. b.
Cornwall, Erastus Bartlett, Mel
son Bennett, Ex-Governor Isaac
Pussy Gray, of Indiana, G. J, Petit
bone, E. L. jaeger and a number OF
others. The influential corporations
doing business on the Bay are the

Canyon Coal company, the Cornwall
company, the Electric Street Railway
company, the Great Northern, Cana
dian Pacific, Northern Pacific, BeIliHg-
ham Bay q Eastern and Bellingham

panies, the operations of any one of
which, in easy financial times, would
be sufficient to communicate decided
degree of prosperity to a city.
