INCOME TAX PAYERS.

Returns Received From Nearly 1000
 Corporations and Individuals.
 The returns of the income tax which were received at the office of the internal revenue collector in Hartford last evening comprises all except those of three deputies. Taking those known and estimating those to come in from three sources and in round numbers the returns from this district amount to l,S00 from corporations and 5. 900 from individuals. There are, how ever, many blanks out not yet returned. and under the present condition of the law in connection with the superior court decisions relieving state and municipal bonds and retails from real estate from it's operation, there seems to be tendency to delay in sending in returns.

New Mexico Live Stock Dealers Greatly
 Elated.
 SANTA FE. N. NJ. April l2.-An advance of about 25 per cent on beef cattle in the last GO days, has served to greatly elate the live stock dealers of New Mexico. Mutton has also gone much higher. showing an advance equally as great The stockmen of the terri tory saw what was coming a year ago and have husbanded their resources accordingly: At the advanced prices some { 900 cars of cattle will be shipped during the next six weeks. 1u 1894 but 5o0. 900 head of cattle were oa the ranges of New Mexico. but during the last year every stockman has been saving up his stock. and this year the number reported for taxation is 75o.OoO. E perts say that at least 10, Oto0 head of meat cattle are now on New Mexico ranges. and of this number about 2S0.o00 are ready for shipment The sheep in the territory in 1S9o wero 150.ooo head and in 1894 they numbered over 2.Ooo.- 'O. It is thought the number now Is about the same as in 1890 or 15o.0O0.
 You see the increase of sheep was under theMcKinley tariff and the decrease and ad- Vance of meat under the Wilson bill. You can see at n glance that the cattle dealers of New Mexico kept their eye on the destruction of the 2.o0o GOO sheep of which there Is noth- ing left but few for breeding. and they have full swing to advance the prices on their Washburn's and Jones' Flour 3ssS.

the following on the subject Of the
meaning of the Monroe doctrine. writ
ten by Professor John B. McMaster,
the noted historian, as it originally ap-
peared in the columns OF the New York
Herald:
81. 1t must be remembered. in the
first place, that the declaration on
which Monroe, in 1928. consulted his
Cabinet and his two predecessors, JEFF
ferson and Madison, related TO the
meddlng of the Powers of Europe in
the affairs Of American States.
so. That the kind of meddling then
declared against was such as tended
to control the political affairs of Amer
lean Powers. or was designed to ex-
tend to the New World the political
systems and institutions of the Old.
''s. That the declaration did not
mark out any course of conduct to be
pursued, but merely asserted that the
interposition of the kind mentioned
would be considered as dangerous to
our peace and safety, and a manifesto
ton of an unfriendly disposition to-
ward the United States.
81. That this doctrine has never
been Endorsed by any resolution or act
nf Congress. but still remains the
Cabinet.
"5. Nevertheless, it was and is an
eminently proper and patriotic doc
trine, and as such has been Endorsed
by the people OF the United States, and
needs no other sanction. The people,
not Congress, rule this country. 1t is
not of the smallest consequence. there
fore. whether Congress ever has or
ever does indorse the doctrine, which
3
first President to announce ii.
"6. The Monroe doctrine is a simple
and plain statement that the people
Of the United States oppose the crea-
ton Of European dominion on Ameri-
can soil; that they oppose the transfer
of the political sovereignty OF Amer
lean soil to European Powers, and that
any attempt to do these things will
be regarded as dangerous to our peace
and safety
what the remedy should be for such
interposition by European Powers the
doctrine does not pretend to state. But
this much is certain. that, when the
people of the United States consider
arv"thine dangerous to their peace and
safety they will do as other nations
do. and. if necessary. defend their
peace and safety with the force Of
arms.
az. The doctrine does not contern-
plate forcible Intervention by the
United States in any legitimate con-
test, but 1t will not permit any such
contest to result in the increase OF
European power or influence on this
continent, nor in the overthrow of an
existing government, nor in the es-
Enlistment of a protectorate over it.
nor in the exercise of any direct con-
troll over IT'S policy or institutions.
Further than this the doctrine does
not go.
at does not commit US to take part
in wars between a South American
republic and a European sovereign,
when the object of the latter is not
the founding Of a monarchy under
European prince in place Of an over
thrown republic.
"In the present instance, therefore,
the doctrine does not apply so long as
England does not hold the ports of
longer than is necessary to
secure the payment of the sum she il
determined to extort."

THRO' THE WOOD.

! There's a road leading down thro' the
wood where l pass
On these diamond-decked mornings of
May,
Soft and damp is the track running close
to the grass
Where the saucy young buttercups
play,
And the violets peep from the hiding they
With such innocent, confident eyes.
That ! long to remain and remove the
Neeueu out on the public highway.
Oh. beautiful road of the wood!
So yelvety, silent, and gray, -,
as they should
Are the nearest to heaven today.
have paused on my way thro' the sweet
Fer l came to the turn for the town,
And my soul would have stayed in the
shade if it could,
OF a battle for pelf, where the good in
Is discolored, distorted, and marred,
And the virtues we love meet sneerlng
Or the blight of an autocrats frown.
oh, happiest pathway of life!
The fault is in turning away
From your perfect delight to the
whitening strife
Of the city's delirious fray.
AS rest in the dim lighted aisle on my
way
To the scene of unequal debate,
I am tempted by every condition in play
To relinquish my purpose and wait
But my heart heeds a cry it can never
deny,
Tho the violets mourn, half afraid
That at last 1 may fail 10 return to the
shade,
Prisoned fast by a gloomier fate.
Dear road O. the wood may the fears
OF the violets win me at last
With victories torn from the desperate
years,
A reproach to the desolate past.

his judgment he had no resource but
asserting upon oath that there was no
legal impeachment. and that the license.
when once issued by him as chancel-
lor. was not subject to the authority
of the bishop, who. in appointing him,
had invested with him full jurisdiction.
The chancellor. referring to the par
ticular case. turned the tables on the
Reverend objector to the marriage, by
declaring that a person disturbing

against it in open church when the
ceremony was authorized by license.
became in the eyes of the law "a
brawler" and liable to prosecution.
The extreme views of the dignitaries
of the Church of England in relation
to divorce. are on par with those
entertained by the same ecclesiasts
as to marriage with a deceased wife's
sister. That is forbidden in England.
both by church rule and civil law. 1t
IS singularly absurd, and is alike I'M
supported by scripture and common
sense. A single text is cited by Ang-
lican Bishops from the old Mosaic law
in support of their position, but it has
reference to the marriage of wife's
sister during her lifetime" so it has
no bearing at all on the question.
1t is proper that marriage should be
surrounded by sufficient safeguards to
secure its integrity and to prevent its
obligations being held too lightly. AT
the same time the impossibility of
forcing the affections. and the great
wrong of compelling a man and Wo-
man, whose dispositions are utterly
incompatible, to remain bound to-
gether as husband and wife for life,
must be apparent TO every thoughtful
mind. To compel them when separated
to remain always single is equally in
consistent.
Both secular and ecclesiastical law
should be adapted to existing condi-
tons. which change materially with
the passage of ages. And good COM
mon sense is a better guide to the
equities than old customs and antigua
ter regulations which, if they were
ever really fitted to the times when
they were originated, are certainly out
of joint with the situation of affairs
in the nineteenth century.
