THE FIRST new MEXICO APPOINTMENT.

There was spirited fight over the ap-
pointment of receiver of public moneys
at Roswell, an Office made vacant by the
mysterious disappearance of Frank Les
net about month ago. The candidates
we're: John B. Warner, who is in the well
boring business, and who was endorsed
by the Democratic members of the 30th
legislature of New Mexico and the Poe
element in Chaves county; Lucius Dills
an attorney at law and present edi.
of the Roswell Record, who was the candi
date of j. G. Lea element; W. p. Ewing
of Roswell, stock man, who was en-
dorsed by County Commissioner E. B
Allen, DR.. E. H. Skipwith and theil
friends and F. P. Gayle, who received the
appointment; the latter was the candidate
of the G. A. Richardson and Phelps White
faction and was successful. He has beer
resident of Roswell for nearly ter
years and kept saloon in Roswell unit
about six months ago. The appoint
ment had to be made at once, as no bust
ness could be transacted at the local lane
Office at Roswell without the receiver o.
public moneys to handle the public
funds.

at is only the politicians who are howl
ing for immediate statehood. The tax
payers and people of the territory, gen.
orally, would vote down statehood prop
osition, if it were submitted to them, to-
morrow-precisely as they did two years
ago. What our people are eager for Is
such a change of conditions as will make
statehood desirable and acceptable. 1t
is now openly urged all over the territory
that the last legislature will constitute a
standing argument against statehood for
long time to come"
The governor who has been and the
governor who expects to be, fcrgets that
the legislature he so round.y condemns
was largely Democratic, on joint ballot.
Also, he does not seem to realize that his
opposition to statehood puts him in alb
-olute antagonism to his party leaders in
the territory; while it sub iects him to the
suspicion Of opposing statehood from
motives of a personal character. Should
he be appointed governor, with New Mex.
leo as territory, his tenure of Office will
be for four years; with New Mexico
speedily admitted to statehood, the
tenure of Office would be reduced to two
years or less.-Las Vegas Optic.

COLLIER CQ12ALLel.

The New MEXICAN of yesterday con-
tains the following article about one OF
Albuquerque's lawyers:
N G. Collier, of Albuquerque, seeks ap-
pointmept as judge of the district court
to succeed Judge Lee. A petition 10 In
circulation at Albuquerque which alleges
that "Mr. Collier is incompetent, bigoted
md biased to such an extent by personal
interests that he would be unable to give
fair decision on questions of law and
equity that might come before him. 1t
is said that certain signers placed their
names on the petition under the appre-
hension chat they we're signing for Mr..
Collier instead of against him.
The columns Of The Citizen are open
to Mr.. Collier. The Citizen knows moth
ing of such petition, and has never re-
yarded Mr.. Collier incompetent, bigoted
and biased" -Albuquerqu Citizen.
The informationin this case was derived
from the columns of the Albuquerque
Times. However, the New Mexican
agrees with the Citizen and does
not regard Nj. Collier as incompetent
bigoted and biased" Mr.. Collier may
have incurred the animosity of certain
members of the bar in Albuquerque ant
those of his own parry, but he stands vel
with the community and is regarded a
an honest man and competent lawyer.
The New MEXICAN has no interest il
the case except to see good and com
petent men appointed to Office under tn
present administration, hence these RI
marks. This journal does not recon
mend Mr.. Collier, it not being its PROVING
to recommend Democrats for Office, bu
it also does not oppose him, there beinl
no Just or honest cause in existence fo
any such course.

GOOD DETERMINATION.

President Cleveland has said very en-
phatically that he would make no re-
appointment to Office except in excep-
tional cases, this is good news to New Mex
leo, for with but very few exceptions the
men who held Office under Mr.. Cleveland
in New Mexico deserve no second recog-
milton; out of the twenty or more federal
officials appointed by him, mighty few
should receive any future consideration
They were tried and found absolutely
unfit. The New MEXICAN is of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Cleveland's determination in
this respect will prove beneficial to New
Mexico.

who Will be Collector.

Tho question, "Who will be the next
internal revenue collector for this dis
trict, comprising the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona" is being agitated in
certain circles and among certain aspl-
rants. If the Democrat, who will be APP
pointed to office, proves as efficient and
accommodating as Lew A. Hughes, the
Citizen will be pleased. Mr.. Hughes is
thorough gentleman, capable officer,
and when he goes out of Office, not for
several months yet. he will know that his
administration has been a clean one, and
that he gained the good will and re-

severe tax upon their strength that the
riders have ever had. Every body was
game and while full honor ehould be
accorded to the Riverside tea % for their
victory, the riders OF the other teams
deserve even more credit for the reason
that they were not in as good condition
as the average people and they rode in
an uphill race from the start. One of
the gamest riders in the bach, however,
was Herb McCrea. He rode for about
10 miles and bleeding from the mouth
and nose all the time He pedsled away,
however, and would not stop until he
had finished the full % miles.
During the latter part OF the race the
riders presented cory appearance.
Stationed in front OF the grand stand
were several OF their trainers, who would
dash water upon them as they passed.
Thie, together with the flying dust that
covered their suits did not help to form
such an ideal costume, but it was glory
they were riding for, not appearance.
As soon as each one finished bis race
he was taken in charge by the rubber,
and it is but just to state that the riders
almost invariably made the assistants
divide the rubbing material with them
and put it to the use for which it was
intended.
The following are the total scores for
the race:
Riverside, 204S; Los Angeles wheel
men, 1882; and the East Side, 1862.

ing the work done by contract, would

thousands OF dollars and az my bonde-
men and myself alone are responsible, l
would have to exact bond for the cor
rect completion OF tho work, but the
worthy gentleman refused to accept the
offer.
"Thereupon he made q most remark
able proposition. That is. he would
name the men who would do the work
for 10 cents q page. and wanted me to
appoint them. Desiring to reduce the
expense Of my Office to the lowest pos
sible limit consistent with good service,
and Notwithstanding the rioiculousness
of the proposition, gave my consent to
the scheme, providing my bondsmen
were indemuitied, but this Mr.. Griffith
refused to do. In view OF these facts I
came to the conclusion that all their
talk in connection with this matter is
just mere buncomba.
In personal interview between Mr..
g. J.. Griffith and myself today, he
stated that he was worth between $780,,
900 and $500. 900 in view OF the present
depressed times.
The political code in referring to the
assessment OF property for taxable pur-
poses saye:
SEC, S6l7. The terms value and

which the property would be taken in
payment OF a just debt due from SOL
vent debtor.
II am informed by the county assee-
sor that the assessment usually averages
65 or 70 per cent of the full valuation.
Now by an examination of the county
assessment roll any Taxpayers can ascer-
tain that Mr.. G. ]. Griffith is personally
assessed on property valuation OF only
$4,000 for 1893. This statement was
made by Mr.. Griffith and sworn and
subscribed to by him.
In addition to the above all else /
can find on the assessment roll relating
to Mr.. Griffith is statement by him as
president Of the Briswalter land and
water company, which is valued at
SLY, ,1S0, improvements included. The
articles OF incorporation OF above COM
pany show that Mr.. Griffith owns five
shares OF par value of $40 each in said
company, or $50 in all.
Instead OF paying 1928 state, county.
school and road tax, If Mr.. Griffith's
statement that he is worth between
100000 and 100000 is correct, and
figuring on valuation Of IS per cent. of
$250,000 Mr.. Griffith should pay Los
Angeles county $3.50 and not 1928.
I'll Mr.. Griffith and some other
wealthy men OF our city and county who
now apparently evade paying their just
proportion OF the public tax burdens
were compelled to do 80, the rate of tax
alton would be materially lessened and
the onerous tax tribute exacted from the
hard working farmer and the industrious
mechanic, who pay full valuation on
their little homesteads, their horse and

Word was received yesterday at the
United States marshsls office that
Charley All Him, the notorious high
binder. had been arrested in San Diego
by Deputy United States Marshal Harry
Johnston.
Charley has the reputation OF being
the woret Chinaman ON the coast, ard
an adept in every species OF criminality
from perjury to murder.
A warrant for his arrest was issued
some tine ago, but by means OF lavish
expenditure Of his ill-earned gold Char
ley managed to avoid arrest.
He is stated to have paid an attorney a
large sum of money for the privilege OF
lying concealed in his attorneys house
for several weeks.
Wong Chez is Charley All Him's most
inveterate enemy. and he is stated on
the authority of the Chinese to have
paid 500 for Charley's capture.
Two Chinese were arrested at Tustin
yesterday, and will be tried today.
