How 1t Profits DOna Ana County to
Have q Good Man in the Office
of Collector.

Sheriff Martin Lehman, of Dona Ana
county, has just made "a report to the
territorial auditor which is worthy of
more than passing notice. 1T consists of
statement of the taxes collected by that
officer for the year 1892. More than So
per cent. of the entire amount has been
collected, and when it is remembered
that of the remaining per cent, i'm
proper assessments, and uncollectable
accounts are included, it is practically a
collection of the entire amount. Certain
ly this record is not equaled by any sheriff

Crisp Declines the Senatorship.

Speaker Crisp has enrolled his name
among the few IL not immortal names
Of persons who have declined senator
ships. His sense Of duty to bis country
and to his party at this supreme crisis
in the history of both constrains him to
decline 10 accept Governor Northen's APP
polntmeft.
The probability Is that Mr.. Crisp will
be n candidate for the full senatorial
term, but quit his post in the House now
he will not do. We judge that his reso-
luton to stick to his present position
will make him an almost invincibIe can
didate when his name Is presented to the
Legislature; but he must take his chances
as TO that. There are other good and
strong men In Georgia, and If Governor
Northen should choose one Of these to
fiji Mr.. Colquitt's unexpired term Mr..
Crisp may have anything but walk
over when the Legislature meets.
Mr.. Crisp has done the right thing.
The legislation now pending In Congress
is of more importance than any that
mas Dten pTOIOStu SiHOc i'NphSAi uS'i'h
days, and so far as the House IL con-
cerned. there is no other hand which
can guide our party so safely as Mr..
Crisp's. SO, we feel thankful that he
has taken the course that he has. We
trust that it will not cause him any
loss of advancement: but if 1t does he
will have made a name for unselfshness
that will be worth to him more than a
senatorial seat.
Governor Northen deserves praise for
choosing Mr.. Crisp as his appointee. He
was evidently searching for the best man
obtainabe for the place, and who can
doubt that his choice would have been
ratified by the Legislature? If. however,
in further pursuance of this policy the
Governor picks out another one of Geor-
gia's favoritc sons. Mr.. Crisp may have
to make a hard fight for the seat-that is
If. as we suppose. he is ready to lay
down the Speakers gavel for a senator
shin.

virginia's Governmental Expenses.

The Richmond Christian Advocate OF
this week has strong editorial article
discussing virginia's expensive and unsat-
isfactory court system and calling for
reform in this respect; also, expressing
wonder that our General Assembly at
its late session found so little time to
remedy those evils which are generally
admitted to exist.
We must say for our Legislature that
Il was very Industrious body. 1t did
an amazing quantity Of work-some very
good some not SO good. But we need
never expect to have our court and county
systems remodelled by the Legislature.
True. II 1t had time 1t might do much
In this direction without even the help
OF constitutional amendments. but current
business occupies 1t SO closely that those
who are advocates OF reforms find them
selves ''side-tracked'' day after day,
Sometimes this Is unayoidably done.
Sometimes It Is designedly done by men
who want things TO stand just as they
are: who do not wish to see one single
ONCE abolished or one single officer's In
come curtailed in fees or salary.
The great reforms in the various de-
partments OF our State government which
our people arc beginning 70 wish for can
never be secured without the ala OF Q
constitutional convention. And whenever
such . convention is mentioned we hear

American Art.

We shall never forget our first visit to
the Art Building OF the Chicago Fair.
We first passed rapidly through the halls
OF statuary and the superb galleries In
which were exhibited the multitudinous
specimens OF the art OF all nations. AS
the result OF this first hurried Inspection
only two pieces left permanent impress
sions. One was a female figure large az
life: the other an essay In the line OF
portraiture, being Dickens seated
upon a high box pedestal, with Little
Nell seated at his feet. he regarding the
little child with paternal air. and she
returning his look with timidity ana
wonder.
These two were up to our Standard
but the others-and there were many
were all faulty in some particular. Those
which might have claimed originally were
grotesque; few were indecent.
Afterwards came days of Inspection
and Of study OF the pictures. The OPP
portunity OF comparing national traits
In design and style was not 20 good as
might have been desired. The differences
In detail and handling were not so APP
parent az In the subjects treated. the
number of limitations of ''The Angelus
was both marked and amusing. IL was
pleasant to observe the patriotism or the
ar;ists-how they made their beautiful
art the handmaiden of history-in other
words, how a picture can be as preserva-
tive OF hero or heroic deed as an epic.
American art has its characteristic
features. The national impress is strong
upon II. In both the subjects selected
and the manner OF treatment, our paint
ers have generally been true TO their
country and their nationality.
In Famous Paintings Of the World, y
now offered to Dispatch readers, are splen-
did reproductions by the perfected half
tone process of great paintings exhibited
at the Worlds Columbian Exposition.
This portfolio series does not however
consist wholly Of subjects which had
place on the walls OF the magnificent
apartments In the Art Building in Jack
son Park. We believe that the average
| quality of paintings reproduced in IA
nous Paintings Of the WORLD is higher
| than the average quality of art exhibited
at Chicago. The Portfolio Series here
referred to is worthy OF the consideration
| of all our readers who appreciate the
beautiful and the truly artistic.

its members should hide themselves from
public view ever afterwards.
Mr.. withers, OF Danviile. has done a
distinguished public service by showing
how costly virginia's government Is In
comparison with the governments OF
Georgia and North Carolina: but his ex-
hibit would have been still worse for us
II he could have included In the sum OF
our expenses those fees which are paid 10
public officers by the people and which
are nowhere of record in the archives
OF our State government.
Whenever we come TO reform our gov
crnmental system with a sincere purpose
TO economize we will be bound 10 consider
II II be not possible to abolish the fee sys-
TEN and pay all-or nearly all-of our
public officers by fixed salaries. Inc
United States Government is about to In
augurate this system in paying most OF
its court officers. 1t seems to US that we
might do likewise with advantage. As
things now stand there are many city.
county and State officers in Virginia as to
whose incomes from the public positions
they hold the people have no exact infor-
nation.
All things point TO the holding OF con-
stitutional convention IN Virginia before

convention should be held; but Its ad-
vocates are full-handed enough IL they
ask that 1t be called for the one purpose
Of amending our constitution SO as to nd

useless expenses now heaped upon all the
counties and cities of the Commonwealth.

My HornhlnWar BOA sta,

In an address delivered in New York
last Monday, Mr.. w. III. Hornblower
said:
81 am a strong party man, but above
all am an American, and | believe that
there are times when party revolution
Is true patriotism. and not only so, but
the wisest craftsmanship. II this be party
treason, let my enemies make the most
of it,"
Such time came. Mr.. Hornblower
thinks, when the United States Senate
declined to confirm his nomination 20
the bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States. Mr.. Hornbower's "true
patriotism" will no doubt land him In
the Republican party in due time. He
has taken the first step; and proverbially
ii is only the first step that is hard to
take.

selves in sounding the praises OF Virginia
and the Emerald Isle. and do this to the
satisfaction of every Irishman and every
Virginian-every Irish-Virginian and every
Virginia Irishman. We Virginians Of
every name cannot but congratulate our
selves that for the next four years old
fashioned Virginia eloquence will be at
a premium. and our Governor called upon
to make speeches all over the land.-Rich-

We had noticed the especial ease. grace
and fiuency with which our talented Gov
ernor won his way through his speeches
into the hearts of the people. and We are
glad to learn the secret of his success
In this particular Times.
The fact is that Colonel O'Ferrall talked
himself into the gubernatorial chair. The
people Of Virginia are worshippers OF
orators.

Impale little sparrow,
While his frightened mates flew by
In the twinkling of an eye
His gleeful song was hushed,
And his tiny form fell crushed.

He was scarcely worth a penny,
Not a penny-soul he had not any
Why should you or | at all
Care to see a sparrow fall!

Sweeping earth and sky,

And struck that birding dead.
