Big Fire at BOyce.

A destructive fire broke out in Boyce
about 3:l5 a. m. Thursday, in which sew
eraI buildings and other property was de-
stroyed, amounting in all to something
near $4,000. The fire originated in p.

II. James, $500, no insurance; Joe Jones,
$500, no insurance; VIM. Foisy. 2 stores,
$4,000, insurance only $4,000. Quite row
took place during the fire between the

thieving depredations, and one white man
and three negroes are reported to have
beeu badly cut and shot in the melee.

Almost every year for the last
five years, some enterprising Grant
parish farmer takes the first bale
OF cotton to Pineville or Alexandria,
and forthwith the fact is heralded
to the world as if it was Rapides
cotton. 1t was time this thing was
stopped. Our Alexandria confreres
should do us the fairness of letting
the world know the remarkable
fact that Grant parish is about ten
days ahead of Rapides in climate.
It is strange but true, and whether
it is owing to peculiar condition of
soil or climatic influence, it holds
good whether it relates to our hills
or the river bottom.

some practical provision were
made for the irrigation of same,
would attract hundreds of settlers

Bat these objections cannot be urged
against tax on large incomes Tho
tax strikes the men who are able to pay
it--ths men who are making instead Of
losing money. 1t is the easiest tax to
pay and the eRsiest TO collect. 1t levies

An old western farmer sat down, the
other day and looked over some of his
old bills and receipts, and compared
them with those of the present year.
He found a bill dated 1867 which
showed that he had purchased $93 worth
of dry goods and stove from mer-
chant and had turned over to him 100
hnshels of wheat at - per bushel, re-
ceiving from the merchant a cash bal
ance of S107. Then, he found a bill for
this year showing that he had purchased
the same articles for S4425 and had
turned over to the merchant 100 bushels
of wheat at 45 cents bushel, receiving
cash balance of 75 cents.
The farmer was puzzled. In each
cas- he had purchased the same quantity
of goods and of the same quality. and
had turned over the same amount of
wheat. Yet in 1867 he had over 800
left. and in 1893 only Is cents. He
looked at his tax receipts and found that
he had paid the same amount of tax in
1867 and in 1893 He thought Of the
congressman who had told him that the
reproduction of wheat was the cause
of the hard times, and the idea struck
him that the congressman salary was
just what it was IN 1867. All the Off
cials from the president down, are get
ting salaries which have not been re-
dnced. Tho bondhoders are getting
the same interest, and creditors are col.
citing the full amount OF their notes
and bills. These classes are not hurt
Scarce money enables them to take the
same money and buy four times as much
wheat as it would have bought in 1867,
five times as much cotton, four times ae
much wood, three times rs much corn,
four times as much beef, three times as
much butter and eggs and three times
as much garden truck.
The old farmer bowed his head and
studied the situation. 1t struck him
that this shrinkage of values affected
him and other producers, but made the
creditor and official classes able TO pur-
chase from three to five times more this
year for the same money than they could
have done in 1867.
Then he raised his head and said
'Overproduction be gollyswashed 1t
Is not the overproduction OF staples; it
is the underproducton OF dollars. II we
had as much money per capita as we
had in 1867 there would be demand for
farm products at good prices. We are
trying to make 65,000,000 people do bus
mess with several hundred million dol
lars less than our 35,000.OG0 people had
at the close of the war, and that is what

WE have noticed quite number

We have noticed quite a number
of very complimentary articles in
the Territorial press relating to
the selection of Hon. Samuel P.
McCrea, of Las Cruces, member of
the Board of Regents of the Agri-
cultural College, as president of
that institution to succeed Mr..
Hadley who soon retires. In such
a matter as this, we believe that
the capability and fitness of a
candidate for the proper manage
ment of SO important an educa-
tional institution should be the
first and only consideration. Pol
itics should be eliminated entirely.
Some of the leading Democrats Of
New Mexico who endorse him,
recognize in Mr.. McCrea, q
thorough scholar, an experienced
teacher in the most advanced
branches of study and a gentle
man of the highest type; and we
know of no one more efficient or
worthy the appointment and hope
he will receive it. Mr., McCrea is
register of the Z. S. Land office at
Las Cruces, but has never been a
politician and deserves the honor
to which he aspires.
