ANOTHER CYCLONE.

The wind blew another gale last
Thursday forenoon. In fact, it was a
cyclone of small dimensions, but might
have been even worse if the wind had
had more room in which to operate. 1t
was the worst blow known here for
several years, and many buildings felt its
effects.
For most of the forenoon the gale had
it's own way, and toyed with roofs,
chimneys, trees, and fences in a destruct-
i've manner The tin roof OF the Y M.
c. A. building was badly torn up, the
damage there being about 500. A
chimney on the South church was taken
off clean to the roof; portion of the
roof of H. E. Moore's livery stable was
torn up, but fortunately was not taken
entirely off, several large trees were
blown down or badly broken by the
wind, and about all the loose paper and
rubbish that had accumulated in alleys
and by-ways was hurled into the court
house yard and on to the streets, giving
them anything but a pleasing appear
ance. Chimneys on several private resi-
dences were also partially demolished.
Asa Howards barn, on the A. ]. Viii
lard farm, was blown over and knocked
into kindling wood, but strange to say
none of the ten head ofcattle that wer
within that structure suffered materia
injury. Mr.. Howard himself had left tn
barn but few moments before the crasl
came.
When one considers the force of tn
gale, it is a wonder that much NOR
damage was not done. Other portion
of the state did not escape so easily, as
reference to our news columns will show

PENSIONS THE CAUSE OF 1T.

The New York Sun has not fall
len into the common error of at
tributing the scarcity of gold in
the treasury to the purchase of sill
ver bullion which is not paid for
in gold but in notes authorized by
the Sherman act which simply re-
present the value of the bullion
stored in the vaults of the treasury.
The Sun hits the nail squarely on
the head. 1t says:
After four years of unexampled,
objectionable, and almost incred-
IDLE recklessness in the matter OF
appropriations, the United States
Government is forced 10 become a
borrower of money.
There are a dozen different ways
of looking at the Sherman bond
amendment, but that is the Eng
lish Of It's significance.
The Government Of the richest
and most prosperous nation on
earth borrowing money to provide
for its stupendous pension list on
eccount of a war that ended twenty
eight years ago!

The days of the unrighteous fee
system IN New Mexico are num-
bered, tahnks to the late legislat-
ure. The law which will go into
effect two years from now will very
materially Tighten the burden on
the taxpayers and at the same time
the Office holders will get all the pay
that they ought to have for their
services. There is very little sense
in paying the sheriff Of this coun-
ty twice as great a salary annually
as the g~oyernor.of the state Of New
York gets or twice as much as the
justices of thel supreme court of
the United States get. There is
just as little sense in paying apro-
bate clerk as much as a member of
the Presidents cabinet gets or in
paying the assessor as mnch as a
senator of the United States
receives for his services.

The first step toward the dis
ruption Of the Santa Re ring has
been taken. The members of the
ring who have been getting rich
off the interest on Territorial funds
will have 10 turn their honest pen
MES somewhere else. During all
these years the Territory has re-
ceived nothing for the use Of the
money which it had on deposit in
the First Natl Bank in Santa Fe.
For many years this has amounted
10 more than an average deposit
Of 100000 and recently it has been
more than 100000 This legislat-
ure has designated a depository and
the Territory will get 3 per cent
interest on daily balances when the
funds on hand amount TO more than
$4,000. This rate seems small
when it is remembered that the
rates of interest charged by the
banks are from II 10 "A per cent
but it il better than nothing. The
law hits the pocket Of the Santa Fe
ring and that is is most vital part.
