Some leading Democrats are advo-
eating the adoption of a graded in
come tax. This is the right kind of
talk, but it will never be accomplish
ed by the present administration. It
Is not measure in the interest of
plutOcracy and therefore will never
receive the sanction of Cleveland and
his goldbug hackers. That it is
right no enc can deny and if the
Democratic congress should pass such
bill it would receive the praise of
the taxpayers. There never was and
never will be a sensible reason why
the poorer classes should pay the
greater part of the taxes for keeping
up the government, while the rich
virtually escape. The percentage is
entirely out of proportion. The Door
ma thelr taxes to be burden, while
the rich are able to pay twenty times
more than they do without missing
it. Many of the wealthy land owners
reside in foreign countries and con.
tribute nothing to the support of our
government. If they are to continue
to accumulate their millions by rea-
son of their interests in this country
they should be made to pay a part Of
the expense of the government that
protects and makes their interests
valuable. Give us an income tax
the quicker the better.

If the HOnitOr-PreSS man was not
politically blind as bat he wouldn't
make such filings in the face of facts.
According to the Democratic returns
the POpuliStS gained from $4,000 to
$4,000 votes at the recent election,
and it is fact that the old mossback
Democracy of Virginia has never re-
ceived such Shaking-up since the
war as at the last election. They
were scared out of their boots and
the St. Louis Republic few days be-
fore the election announced that the
whole election machinery was in the
hands of the Democrats, which was
the only barrier between them and
POpulist success. Furthermore, the
leading POpulists declare they car
ried the state and were deliberately
counted out, as the Republic fore
Swallowed, and are already preparing
to prosecute and bring to justice the
men who deliberately set aside the
will of the people. If the Monitor
Press man would take the trouble to
post himself before braying, he would
not attract so much attention to his
long ears.

A prominent POpulist Of this cOun-
ty stated to the VOICE scribe last
week that he could count fifteen Pop
ulists in his township that did not
vote at the recent election. When
asked why. be said that some had
work to do that they thought Of
more Importance than going to vote,
while Others were confident that we
would win anyhow and were not
enough interested togo and cast their
ballots. 1t was the stay-at-hOme
farmers that allowed the Republicans
to wiz. The vote shows that the
Popullsts gained in nearly all the cit
les. and with a full vote in the rural
districts the POpulists can overcome
all opposition. The same informant
stated that some Republicans stayed
at home also. but not 50 large a per
cent. He did not know Of a single
Populist that had gone back to either
CT the old parties and found them all
as strong in the faith as ever. From
all OF which it may be asserted that
the result of the recent election will
be an advantage to the Populists. 1t
will warn them that eternal vigil
lance is the price Of liberty" and at
the next roll call every Populist will
be at the polls.

Silver Dick BANDS determination
to keep the money issue before the
people by introducing the old free
coinage bill in 1873, is commendable.
If he does not succeed in having the
bill passed, he can put the congress
men on record so the people may
know whom to retire to private life.

The daily papers report that Sena-
tor PETER is in favor of organizing a
new party to be composed of all
who are opposed to the plutocraric
policies of the old parties. We can't
see wherein this move would help
matters. The POpuliSt party is a
national organization founded on
sound principles. 1t is steadily gain
ing in strength and its course on the
free coinage issue has drawn to it's
ranks many leading men of the old
parties. As long as We stand firm
and keep in the middle of the road
we will draw recruits that are desir-
able and that will bring their follow
ing with them. 1t may be that a
majority OF the POpuliSt party would
consent to some concessions in order
to induce other organizations to Join
with us, and agree to defer some of
the more advanced ideas in regard to
governmental reforms, but the Popu-
list party will never consent to aban-
don the Omaha platform simply to
give a muShrOOm growth to the party
The principles Of the Omaha plat
form are right and are certain to pre-
vail. Right is might. As the people
become educated they will come to us
and the course of the party should be
to keep square in the middle of the
road.

THE COUNTY SCHOOLS.
Some Readable Statistics Cleaned
from the Annual Report Of the
County Superintendent.

County School Superintendent Juan J..
Ortiz has completed his report for the
current year and handed it to Hon. Amado
Chaves, territorial superintendent of
public instruction. 1t shows among other
things that there are twenty-eight teachers
employed in the county public schools;
that the total enrolment is 9OS, out of
which number there was an average daily
attendance of G65. The total number of
children between the'ages of and 20
years is 2,04S. 1t will be noted that nearly
so per cent of this number attend the
public sch ools. Add to this the numbers
attending private schools and it will be
seen that the school master is abroad in
Santa Fe county.
There are total of ~ schools and
a total of eighty-three months of tuition;
or an average of little over three
months teaching in each school. The
average is, of course, lessened by the diff
Guilty of keeTing open the public
schools in the country districts.
The total funds available this year to
keep the schools open are $9,053.27, and
the expenditures up to date are $5,555.S5.
The same studies are taught in all the
schools, being reading, writing, grammar,
geography, arithmetic, United States
history, physiology and hygiene.
In the city schools proper, the enumer-
alton of pupils during the year is S15, of
which number 1855 attend school.
Hon. Amado Chaves in acknowledging
Mr.. Ortiz report, takes occasion to say:
II have the honor to inform you that your
annual report is in my hands, and thank
you very much for your promptness in
preparing it, and for the efficient manner
in which you discharge your official du-.
ties"

A STRANGE STREAM.
Some Queer Facts Gathered by Boat
men Oh the Lower Pec0s
River.

The distance from Eddy to Pecos is
eighty-nine miles, by the railroad, but
the Rio Pecos travels much further dis
lance in going, says the Eddy Argus.
Walter Kinder and two boatmen who re.
Gently went down the river state that the
distance seemed to be 700 miles. AS
about seventy hours elapse between flood
hight at Eddy and flood hight at Pecos,
tho distance would be approximately APO
miles if the current ran six miles per
hour. There are many abrupt turns, as
the river crosses the valley frequently.
At one place tho beaemen, after days
Journey, could see their previous camping
place only two miles north Of them, the
current having twice crossed the valley
without going southwark more than two
miles. There are various falls, and series Of
falls of from seven to ten feet. Some of
the rapids were shot safely, and at Others
the boats had to be carried around the
banks. A flat-bottom craft was ruined
by stricklng rock at one of the rapids.

Rio Arriba.

Correspondence New Mexican.
Chama, Oct. 16.-Taking one year with
another it is doubtful if there exists any
where in the west a more generally pros
porous section than Rio Arriba county.
Aside from itsD abundance of water-the
chief of. all resources in the west--it has
extensive gold and copper deposits; its
lumber production leads every other dis
trict in the Rocky mountains outside of
perhaps, Flagstaff, and its agricultural
and stock raising interests have no
equal. Certain and
ABUNDANT CROPS
never fail in this, the all-around banner
section of New Mexico.
This year Rio Arriba county goes into
the winter with prosperity prevailing
everywhere, despite the cry of hard times
that goes up from other sections of the
country, and despite also the crippled
condition of the wool market, for
it must be remembered that here is the
boss wool growing district of New Mex
leo. To-day there are close to
100 CAR LOADS OF WOOL
stored in the various warehouses at
Chnma TERRA Amarillo and Parkvew,
aud prices have stiffened up SO that at
last part of this product is beginning to
move eastward to tho market circles.
Hon. r. D. Burns has just sold thirty car
loads of wool to Hutchins & Co., of
loaded on ID. & R. G. cars. BY the way,
Mr.. Burns is handy sort of citizen to
have around. He is a
HUSTLER AFTER BUSINESS.
He has three harvesters and two mowers
at work cutting oats and alfalfa on his
ranch near the Canones, and on his Park
view ranch is erecting GOO feet of sheds
for comfortably housing his sheep this
winter.
While speaking of live stock, may
add that cattle hereabouts are rolling lat
and find ready sale at gratifying prices.
Last week the D. & r. G. road hauled 300
car loads of stock out of this station, and
it is no uncommon thing to see
D. & R. G. FREIGHT TRAINS
pulling out of here in four sections-four
sections, how is that for an ''arid coun-
try" and for the D. Il R. G. road in New
Mexico?
Down in the timber belt large num-
Der of men are employed, and among the
orders now in hand is one for extra heavy
piling to be used in rebuilding the bridges
on the Santa Fe Southern road
At Monero L. c. Jones has just opened
NEW COAL VEIN
that Santa Feans will be pleased to learn
about. 1t is of much better quality
than any discovery yet made in this sec
ton. At present eight car loads week
are shipped, part of which goes to the
Santa Fe market.
may also add that the potato crop is
becoming an important factor in this
vicinity and the old order of things is re-
versed In that New Mexico is to-day
shipping spuds to the Colorado market
just as she ships coal, lead ores, lumber
and building stone.
