A WORD TO GRANT.

Citizens of Grant county will make the
mistake of their lives if they do not join
the balance of the territory this year in
forever putting quietus on the Catron-
lists and their political and business
methods-methods that have disgraced
New Mexico for quarter of century
and made our rich commonwealth the
laughing stock in official and political
circles at Washington and by-word in
every money center at the east and even
throughout foreign lands, in London,
Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam.
Besides, the people of Grant county
certainly have nothing to gain by follow
ing Lindauer. His methods are Just as
selfish, just as corrupt and inscriptions
as are Catron's, and his advancement in
Grant will simply serve to create dis
trust in the minds of business men every
where and bring to that county's affairs
the same discredit which Catronsm has
brought upon New Mexico in general.
And what farce do VT here witness in
that the honest voters of Grant are being
called upon to support Lindauerisn, and,
incidently Catronism, under the guise of
voting the Populist ticket
Most people in Grant ought to know
what Lindauerism signifies quite as we'll
as the average citizen knows what Cat
| ronism means. Now let US take glance
at Populism.
Look at its record on the single item
of finance, for instance. In the west it is
for free silver, at the east it is against
silver and favorable to an unlimited issue
of greenbacks and government bonds.
Its tenets on other matters are just as
inconsistent. 1t is party without moral
responsibility. It is founded on preju-
dice. It would array labor against cap
ital, instead of treating both fairly, and
it PUSHES madly to the support of any
blackleg that will volunteer to carry its
banner, as witness its following of such
notably weak and vacillating men as
! Mills and Liudauer, wher, we're the same
votes directed, at this time, az they should
be, toward wiping the blight of Catron-
ism from New Mexico's fair name, in
stead of indirectly aiding in its perpetual
ton, very great good could be accom-
! plished for all the people, to the honor
and glory Of Grant county in particular
and all New Mexico in general. Citizens
of Grant, fall into line and help us on
| Tuesday next.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A Democrat Speaks.

"A DeMOcfaI speaks.
81 have always been in favor of the
free coinage OF silver-I am in favor of it
now. believe the fears of our friends
who oppose it are largely imaginary and
believe the enactment of such law
would afford great relief to the people of
the country. So feeling I need not say
that to me personally the result of the
vote on free coinage of silver was great
disappointment. This question is not
settled"
"Whilo wo iIayu not done all we hoped
to do, we have done more in the past
year to redress the wrongs of the people;
We have done more for their relief than
was ever done by any party IN tho same
length of time in any country under the
sun. These are bold words, yet l hold
myself ready at all times to defend them.
Coming into power at the time of panic,
business at standstill, labor was unem
ployed, when our treasury was empty,
with courage and fidelity we entered upon
a struggle with the enemies of the people;
we emerged from that struggle victorious.

South Carolina has been giving Sir Wilfrid
Lawson an object-lesson this week. An Act
was recently carried by engineering through
the Legislature which transferred the whole
liquor business to the State. Alcohol was to
be kept only by State commissioners and
sold only by State dispensers in limited
quantities, end with the kind Of forms which
used to attend the application for passports.
The Act was strictly worked, the townsfolk
found they could get no liquor, private stocks
we're formed and on the police endeavourIng
to seize them the people revolted. COnstables
and spies were shot, or driven into the swamps;
the police were defeated and on Governor
Tillman calling ont the militia Of The towns,
they refused to obey. He seized all railroads
and teiegraphs, and called out the rurul mill.
tia, who obeyed because he is the chief Of the
farmers party; but though the towns are
quieter, the struggle is not over, and they are
in fact, held only 10y military force. 1t is
said that the Supreme Court of the State has
declared the Governors action uncOnstitution-
al; and it is believed that p new decree, as
sdmlng authority over all municipal police,
will be resisted by force. If the United
States troops inter vene, the citizens will of
course give way, but at present South Carolina
is in a state of yelled civil war, because the
majority are determined to control the minori-
ty's ideas of comfort. 1t will be observed that
the Legislature had no idea of armed resist
ance and in truth, no notion that the liquor
question was one which would deeply stir the
passions of men. They were blinded by the
readiness of the citizens to yield SO long as
they thought they could evade the law.

5-Resolution-Resolved that in consider
alton of the manifest reduction of Poultry and
other small stock in this Presidency caused
by the persistent destruction of the Mongoose
And Whereas the principal sufferers are the
poorer classes of the community who depend
to a great extent on the raising of such
Poultry and small stock for their support,
and who have lately further suffered by the
swine epidemic.
. This Council therefore respectfully ask His
Exccllency the governor to relieve the
Country districts of the Dog Tax; thereby
inducing the people to keep a greater number
Of dogs for the purpose of subduing the Mon
goose, and thereby retaining the Poultry
and small stock industry. J.. d. Harper.
The mover in lengthy remarks put the
resolution. He pointed out the injury to the
raising of stock industry by the depredatory
habits. of the mongoose, the inability Of the la
bourers in the country districts to pay the tax
on dogs, which are the means of warding off
in a measure the evils due to the existence. in
overwhelming numbers of the imported pests
the mongoose,
Mr.. James Maginley gave evidence against
the mOngoos9-to his personal knowledge
they had destroyed young pigs, birds, lizards,
the latter two Of which were Of service to
the planters in Kidding their fields of insects
which did injury to their cultivation.
DR. Edwards asserted that since the intro
duction of the mongoose into the island poul-
try had got cheaper and this was owing to
the necessity forced on the people to take
more care about their poultry, to save them
from the mongoose. The mongooses were
becoming troublesome, but their increase
could be retarded; and he suggested that at
eve, with a double barreled guh in hand, one
shoald watch by the side Of II stream then
shoot the mongoose as they would seek the
stream for water. He suggested also the
importation of a competent tanner who would
tan the skins of the Mongoose and which
would find remunerative sale in England.
The Mongooses could be caught in traps and
drowned, then skinned-But as for the. dog
tax he considered it better to tax them higher
, 1894-05-09

than they are taxed at present instead of
renting the tax.
Mr.. White admitted the trouble the mon
goose were occasioning but opposed the
remission Of the dog tax in the Country
distriots-he did not consider there were any
poor people in the isIand-The ef400 raised
from the tax on dogs might be applied to the
destruction of the mongoose, There was
no taxation on the poorer class.
Mr. Mart u Camacho did not know much
about the on soSe and he woult leave that
matter to the 3~laoters, but he suggested that
the stray dogs he gstheied and an imported
staff Of MUSES. be given the care Is them.
Mr.. j. Ctnacho said that no case had
been made Jut against the mongoose by the
several speakers who had preceded him. The
planters had not said one word If a positive
naturAthat the mongoose were accountable
for the Gang Nieaso and they (the Planters)
should put aside funds for the purpose of
reducing lie number Of mongoose.
Mr.. Foole replied that the Planters To take
measures to diminish the number Of mon
goose on thcir own Properties but there was
a large tract of Country in an uncUltivated
state where the Planters could not reach
them. He could not understand people,
knowing nothing of The matter, giving les
sons on it.
Mr.. James Maginley spokeo Of his personal
knowledge Of the depredations of the mon
goose and that he 70 nd it very difficult to
get poultry in the country ut all and much
less at the cheap rats mentioned by the Vice
President.
The Colonial Secretary stated ah objection
to the preamble of the resolution by Mr..
Harper and with reference to resolution
7-sald, the Government could not do away
with an Act Of 9 years duration without con
sideration. The Planters knew more about
the mongoose than he does, and therefore if
the honorable member would amend his
resolution TO read that the Governor be
asked to consider the advisqbility of intro
ducing a bill on the subject he would
support it. The resolution of Mr.. Harper
was considered along with Mr.. Holborow's.
Mr.. Holborow VS. resolution was as follows:
Resolved that the Government is respect
fully asked to consider the desirability of in
PRODUCING a bill 70 diminish the number Of
mongoose in this island and put the same in
force eS soon as possible.
q. Holborow.
Mr.. Harper withdrew his resolution-and
Mr. olborow's amended, az suggested by the
Colonial Secretary was passed.
Mr.. Holborow drew attention to a former
resolution Of his whore "advisability" was
introduced anent fibre cleaning plant and to
the present nothing had been done in the
matter. However if the Government do not
take the present matter in hand it will soon
affect the revenue.
