n AWANNAAs
In the midst Of their contempo-
raneous bitterness and strife for
patronage we otter wonder If the
Rio Graude Republican and In
dependent Democrat ever pause
long enough to take o retrospect
tive view Of the ruinous policy
which they have inauguratcd with
regards to the Agricultural Col
lege located in their quiet little
town-Las Cruces. To an on
locker it would really appear that
both Of those journals were in
greater need of reform than the
institution they are in turn as
sailing and defending with so
much apparent zeal. There may
be irregularities in the manage
ment Of the Agricultural College,
we VI not in position 10 Judge,
hence cannot suy-but remedy, not
ruin should be applied. Nearly
every issue of those papers dis
closes some newly discovered plot
to wreck or rob the college; if
nothing new can be Matched up
their editors turn their attention
to old wounds. The people of the
Territory are firing Of this veno-
nous clap-trap and rot. A few
years ago when the Rio Grande
Republican was the official organ
OF the college, the Independent
Democrat went into spasms over
the manner in which the affairs of
the college were conducted; now
that the Independent Democrat
holds the contract for printing for
the institution, the Rio Grande
Republican walls and rants fraud,
incompetency, treachery, etc. In
their failure to secure their own
greedy and selfish ends it really
appears that they desire the de-
struction of the college. They
are trying to kill the goose that
lays the golden egg. The Agri-
cultural College might be, and per-
haps is, a power in the education
al arena Of the Territory. Aside
from the fruit interests Of that To-
cality the Agricultural College is
about the only thing Las Cruces
has. Its existence at that place
means between forty and fifty
thousand dollars per year to the
citizens and business men Of the
town and from a pecuniary point
of view it seems ridiculous on the
part of the newspapers of the
place to defame and belittle it. Il
seems absurd at all events for one
of the papers to denounce it as al
ephemeral concern and declare i
to be an annex to a high schoo
and call its president penny wise
and pound foolish just because tht
printing contract goes to anothel

they have plnced silver on the
market with only its value in and
with the arts, thus destroying
the markets Of these people by de-
priying them of the medium Of
exchange, or rather leaving them
with only a medium of exchange
which they have deprived Of one
half Of it's value by their own ar
bitrary act. They had and have
the gold. Demonetizing silver
doubled the demand on gold, and
therefore its purchasing power
was increased IN value. Why
should they not admire the enor-
nous wealth which has enabled
the United States to make its ex-
travagant experiment in silver?
How else could il have withstood
the enormous losses which it has
sustained, through the demonetiz-
ing of silver? It has made huge
losses through this, and is still
making them, and hardly yet be-
gins to believe that it is due to
it's own uct in destroying one half
Of its money. The position is
very similar to a man who DELHI
erately opens a vein and bleeds
himself until he is faint from loss
of blood and then points out to
equally silly friends the amount
of blood he has thrown away and
remarks to them / cannot think
what makes me feel so bad. l
drew that blood because it was ru-
lining my health and / feel that
its true position was in my stom-
ach-when L could digest it 1 got
what good there was in it. The
position Of the gold men in this
matter is very similar to the ex-
perimenter who gives some poor
wretch a good fine dose Of cholera
germ to see the effect, and then
when the cholera has squeezed al
most all of the fluid from the
body and the poor patient is al
most destroyed still persists in
trying to get him to take more OF
the same remedy which had al
most finished him, and then when
his dupe turns aud tries to defend
himself he accuses him Of being a
crank, an idiotic person, not to
see the infinite service which he
has rendered him in thus bring
ing him to deaths very door. The
gold man, money man, banker
has given the poor wretch (the
commercial world and labor) z
dose of gold monometallism which
has nearly finished him; so mucl
so that he is struggling for lif,

always lived before he tried thu

dangerous person, a man with

are advanced why he should still

nearly killed him, putting on hin
all sorts of coIored spectacles il

JUST LOOK AT THIS.

An examination of the records
in the Office Of the collector Of
Grant County discloses the fact
that there are uncollected taxes
against real and personal property
in the County covering a period
from 1887 to 1893 inclusive, as fol-
Southwest-sentinel. [volume] (Silver City, N.M.) 1883-189?, 1895-04-23

Inc above amounts represent a
total Of sec, 16L97. In addition to
this enormous sum may be added
the taxes of 1894, which will be-
come delinquent on the first day
of July, amounting in round num-
bers to $4,000, all of which form
the grand aggregate of s121. lG1.-
81. 1t would be impossible to es-
innate, with any degree Of accu-
racy, what proportion Of the 1894
taxes viii be paid before they be-
come delinquent, but in regard to
the taxes already delinquent we
are fully advised. The tax known
as the illegal levy, covering the
years of 1891 and 1892, would of
course be rebated TO the owners Of
the property against which it was
assessed, and would amount to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. For
various reasons it might be intel
ligently argued hat a great per-.
centage Of the taxes between the
years 1887 and 1898 will never be
paid, but such as are collectablo
