The report of the grand jury
recently in session in San Miguel
county shows that the financial
condition of that county is much
worse than that of this county,
The total liabilities of the coun-
ty foot up to more than $780,
600 or nearly twice as much
as those of this County
while the assessed valuation of
property in San Miguel county
is much less than twice as much
as the assessed valuation of prop
ertY in this county. The current
expenses of the county are not
being paid and the report states
that the certificates of county in
debtedness are worth but little
more than fifty cents on the dol
lar San Miguel BIS the most pop
ulous of the counties of New Mex
leo and if the debt keeps on in
creasing it will soon enjoy the
proud distinction of having a larg-
er Indebtedness than Santa Fe
county which is now the banner
county of the Territory in this
respect.

THERE appears to have been
very little ground for fearing an
outbreak of the Navajo Indians.
1t seems that the United States
law in reference to the sale of
liquor to Indians is continually
disregarded along the northern
border of the Navajo reservation,
and that whiskey is brought there
by the wagon load and sold to the
Indians. All of the recent trouble
with these Indians was caused by
a quarrel between an Indian and a
store keeper who had loaned the
Indian some money. The Indian
gave his horse as security for the
debt but the store keeper allowed
the Indian to use the horse. Every
time the Indian came to the store
they had words about the money
until finally the debt was reduced
to fifty cents. The Indian came
to the store, and, as usual, got
into a quarrel with the store keep
or and a row followed in which
the store keeper was killed. The
Navajos are peacefully inclined
and there is no danger Of an up
rising in that quarter.

The last issue Of the Enterprise
had the following to say in refer
ence to suits which have been
brought by this County;
The Enterprise entirely agrees
with the county commissioners in
regard TO forcing Mr.. Berg and
his bondsmen to settle with the
county, and goes still farther In
the same direction and demands
that the same vigorous methods
be employed to recover from II. II.
Whitehill and his bondsmen a
sum nearly four times as great
which has been due for years past
without an effort at payment be-
ing made. It looks as if there
we're some subtle influence at work
to divert attention from the great
er sum due the county and direct
it to the lesser debtor who is max
ing strenuous efforts to pay his
shortage. The matter of $4,000
due by Mr.. Berg to the county
deserved the serious consideration
which it received, but how about
thirty odd thousands due by Mr..
Whitehill and his bondsmen?
Why not hew to the line, let the
chips fall where they may? Who
had hold Of that line?
The Enterprise ought to be
aware of the fact that the board
of County commissioner has done
all that could be done in this mat
ter. The suit against Mr.. White
hill and his bondsmen was brought
by the former board and the mat
ter is now in court. The commits
sioners car do nothing to hasten
this suit. The district attorney
is the proper official to attend to
the matter and if he has not done
all that could be done to get the
case to trial the blame should rest
upon him, but it must be remem-
bered that considerable difficulty
has been experienced in getting
civil cases to trial on account of
the lack of funds to pay court ex-
penses. If there is any body to
blame for not getting this case to
trial it certainly is not the board
of County commissioners.

In my last 1 told you that 1 would
tell you all about the new strikes made
recentlyin this district. On the oath of
last month 1 visited the old workings
which Lapoint's men discovered and
which we're mentioned in the Rio Grande
Republican. The mines are situated in
the Organ Mountain mining district
south Of Bear Canon and about 40 miles
north east Of Las Cruces. The tunnel
mentioned was drove in about seventy
feet on iron carbonates and carries gold,
but on account Of distance and bad roads,
not sufficient to make it pay. Several
prospects in the same vicinity were made
in 1884, ranging from 3 to 10 feet deep,
carrying galena and copper, but they
too, for the same reasons are too low
grade and will remain dormant until the
White Oaks railroad is built.

Col. A. j. Fountain is situated in the

THERE is an immense amount
of water going to waste in the
Rio Grande which would be of
almost inestimable value to the
cultivators of the land in the Rio
Grande valley two or three months
hence. During the food season
there is water enough in the river
to irrigate all the tillable land in
the valley if it could be stored in
reservoirs and keptuntil such time
as it should be needed. Now the
farmers and fruit growers in the
valley have very little water dur
ing the dry season when they need
it most. 1t would require the ex-
penditure of a large amount of
capital to construct reservoirs and
canals but with such a system
once in operation there would be
no doubt about the future of the
Rio Grande valley. The soil is
fertile and the product per acre
is as large as can be grown any
where. With a large area of irri-
gated land in the Territory there
is no doubt but there would be a
heavier average rainfall in those
parts of the Territory which can
not be irrigated. A practical test
of the storage system Of irrigation
will soon be made in this County
aud if it is successful here where
there is much less food water than
there is in the Rio Grande, there
will be no reason for further delay
in inaugurating a system of stor-
age reservoirs along the Rio
Grande.

WHEN Texas was admitted to
the Union it was with the under
standing hat it might be divided
into FIVE states but until recently
there has been no disposition
shown by the residents of that
state TO avail themselves of this

the management of the affairs of
the state and they are ready for
division. The people of El Paso

TINE works wonderful changes.
A few short years ago Webster
Flanagan, one Of the handful Of
republicans Of Texas, made him
self famous by inquiring at an OPP
perfume moment, "What are we
here forY" AT that time Mr..
Flanagan was not much Of a civil
service reformer. He was Of tho
opinion that to the victor belonged
the spoils and when the proper
time came Webster was not long
in making an application for the
position Of collector of customs ct
El Paso. He was duly appointed
and, for q time, was at peace with
himself and all the world. The
republican party was in power and
he, a good republican, was in
Office. Another campaign came
on, and the man who inquired
What are we here for?" made an
uphill fight in a h0pelessly demo-
cratic state for his friend Harri-
son. He lost the fight but he neg
lected to forward his resignation
promptly on the 4th of March to
President Cleveland. He had
been bordering over the situation
since the 9Th of November aud
was coming to the conclusion that
civil service reform would be q
good thing for him. After the 4th
of March this conviction entirely
replaced his former ideas of the
civil service and last month he
asked Secretary Carlisle to allow
him to continue in Office. The
fact hat he had applied for a con-
~tinuance might not have been pub
lished to the world had it not been
for the rule adopted by Secretary
Carlisle to give out for publication
all the applications for Office in
his department and so it happened
that one day last month democratic
politicians we're amused as we'll as
surprised when they saw that
Webster Flanagan, the real Tex
as Flanagan, was an applicant
under a democratic administration
for the position as collector of the
port of Ell Paso. If he should be
disappointed and fail to continue
in his present position his notions
about civil service reform might
undergo another radical change.
Democrats all over the country
will be perfectly willing to leave
him to the tender mercies of Mr..
Carlisle.

WHEN the Worlds fair was

posed hat it was a great republi-
can victory. Leading republicans
thought that the fair would be
held in a republican city in a re-
publican state and voted for Chi
cago as against New York on pure
ly political grounds. These re-
p%ublicans must have felt proud OF
their action whom they saw Presi-
dent Cleveland last week on his
way 10 the grand stand walking
with the democratic mayor of Chi
cago on one side and the demo
cratic governor of Illinois on the
other. The plans Of the rephbli-
can politicians we're all right but
they did not work as had been OK

gold reserve which was in the
United States treasury has been
paid out and the country has not
gone to destruction. The New
York bankers are pretty well salts
fed now that Carlisle will not is
sue bonds and the expectation of
gold which has been going on will
cease. The heavy shipments of
gold which were made two weeks
ago were made to bring on a gold
scare and cause the secretary of
the treasury to issue bonds to
maintain the gold reserve. There
is too much gold in this country
for the expectation of a few mil
lions to scare the people outside
of Wall street very much.

patients. This is an institution
which has long been needed by
the Territory. There are about
100 insane persons in New Mexico,
about half of whom have been
confined in the various county
jails for the want of a better place
to keep them. They could not be

have become hopelessly insane

The assassination of Hon. Garter
Harrison, mayor of Chicago, Saturday
evening, by lunatic named Prender-
grast, startled the nation as we'll it
might. For a man of such an ex-
tended reputation as the mayor of
Chicago, to be shot down in daylight,
by an assassin who enters his residence
unchallenged, is an event that can but
excite the widest criticism. The prom.
inence of the victim, aside from the
commanding position he has occupied
during the worlds fair, makes the
tragedy very deplorable. Mr.. Harri-
son was perhaps the most popular off,
elal in Illinois, and was an expert pol
itician. If he had lived unquestion-
ably his voice would have been heard
in the councils of the nation, and to
lose such a man in the prime of his
maturity by the act of lunatic is
great loss to any community. There
are no doubt too many crazy people out
side of asylums and not enough on the
inside. We should enforce our laws
or the protection of individuals
against irresponsible parties, and in
rease the number of our asylums.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE.
Underrated the 1IOors.

MADRID, Oct. 31-Tbe Spanish reverse
at Melllla was due to the mistake of Gen.
eral Margolla In undertaking the hostil.-
ity and fighting powers OF the Arabs. At
cabinet council Sunday, which WIS
summoned by The queen regent herself,
her majesty said she considered that the
time had arrived to appeal to the pat-
riotism of all Spanlards for sacrifices to
defend the Spanish honor at Melilla. She
asked that all information in regard to
affairs there be published and none con-
cealed. In the meantime the Wadraz in.
fantry regiment was formed in the court
yard OF San Francisco barracks ready to
start for Melilla, and at the close of the
council the regent and her children. ac-
companied by q number of noblemen
and generals, drove to the barracks and
reviewed the regiment. News received
tonight, which was brought to Malaga,
by steamer owing to the fact that the
cable was interrupted, says the Moors
returned today with the determination
of reconstructing trenches SIX hundred
yards from Fort Camxello., aotwith-
standing heavy fire by the troops. Of
fetal figures show the Spanish losses in
the recent engagement to have been 10
killed and so injured.
