Some Facts For Farmers.

In 1877, the average value Of the hay
crop IN tho United states was IS. sc yer
ton. The following year it dropped to
S. 20, and i'll 1879, the year next tcsu-
ing, it jumped UP to $a.32 per ton.
Again. In 1891, when this country
was firmly OH Il gold basis, the average
value of the hay crop was IS. 40 per ten.
In 1892 it fell to So. 73 per ton, and III
1893 it rose to SIS. GS per tOn Last YEAR
the average value was IS. J6 per ton
Assuming that the fall i'll prices j.
due to the "crime Of 1s73,' how arc
these fluctuations to be accounted foi2
Will some Bryanite explain also why II
is that the average value Of the hay crop
per ton was greater III 1898, when W.
Were on Il geld basis, than il WAS III
1875 when gold was at a premium:
Hay has undoubtedly declined III p.isn
since 1878, but why should it not have
done So. Apart from cheaper methods
of production and cheaper rates Of trans
portation, the annual hay crop increased
from p, Os5, 100 tons III to Is,
| 166, l5s tons III 1893. Last year IT
amounted to about Al, 600, 900.
At the same time the number of
horses III the United States increased
only from 9,a22, 10 III 1873 to l., ss3,
3l5 III 1895. 1t is estimated that there
are nearly 1,loo. 00o fewer horses II,

THE FAULT OF THE PARENTS
The Children in the Los Alamos Pre-.
cinct Are Not Sent 70 School
Regularly.

70 the Editor Of the Qrrst
Los ALAMos, N. NJ, March 9th, 1896.
1t seems to be the special object and
pride Of some parties who are neither
taxpayers nor beneficiaries to any com.
munity, to run down the people and
proclaim that the poor children. inno-
cent little things, do no. get the proper
amount Of education and school at
tendance.
The above has come to the knowl-
edge of your correspondent, and he de-
sires to ssy, in as few words as posi-
BILE, that II the children Of Los Alamos
school district do not get the full and
more than full benefit Of a public school
instruction, 1t is their parents fault.
We have here, at a sacrifice, a FIVE
months term Of school, the teacher
having to wait two months for her pay
of the last two months school! Now,
let me ask, right here, how can a
teacher, no matter how good u teacher
he or she may be as to qualification as
such, accomplish anything. II the par
ents do not send their children regu.
larly to SCHOOL, Take the daily at
tendance here and It is really mortify-
ing and there is, SO to say, no remedy
II the directors enforce the compulsory
law, the whole community would be
down on them. We are trying to do
our best and Miss Vaur, the present
teacher, has tried to do her best and is
still doing SO, andashe can and will
willingly teach all the youngsters that
are brought to the school. She is an
accomplished teacher, the best we have
ever had, and some probably do not
like her, because she is strict and will
not allow any f%oolishness. The tax
payers of this community do not CON-
plain. They are satisfied and are
working hard at their various occupa-
tions. think, Mr.. Kistler, you will
comprehend the drift of my communi.
cation.
The people here are busily occupied,
now, cleaning the various bitches and
some have already commenced to pillow
and plant.
The telephone is In good working
order, but very few use it o
of the expense. AToLE. :

Vrhe Congressional Record OF March
4th, when II arrived In Santa Fs, yes-
terday morning, stirred up the usually
quiet people Of the ancient city greatly
The decision Of the U. s. supreme
court bad relieved Santa Fe county Of
a great load Of railroad Indebtedness.
and they had supposed that was final.
But the Record showed that, last Thur
day, Senator Brice got the senate to
pass an amendment to MIR. Catron's
bill, validating bonds voted by the last
legislature, by which $172,000 Of
Santa Fe bonds, issued to the narrow
gauge railroad, were made valid and
binding on the county.
ia the course Of the proceedings In
the senate, Senator Brice defended the
amendment as entirely proper and
Senator Hill vas reported US saying
that Mr.. Catron approved OF it.
This gave the democrats ) great op-
portunity. There was much public in
~dignation and a a meeting was
called by the chairman Of the county
commissioners and the president Of the
board of trade. The SELF Sonstituted
democratic leaders expected to score a
big point against Catron and have him
denounced by resolution. Bat the re-
publicans who Joined in the proceed
ings took the sting out by insisting that
there should be nothing partisan intro
duced, and the resolutions were 90
framed that they only denounce Sem
ator Brice.
We give the resolutions herewith:
Resolved: That we have heard with
amazement and indignation of the attempt
made by Senator Brice. OF Ohio, TO over
throw the decision OF the courts and sad
die upon this county the payment Of
S172, 900, of fraudulently issued bonds, the
property OF said Brice and his associates,
or of purchasers of them, to whom he is
responsible.
RESOLVED. That by this action Senator
Brice has prostituted bis high, public Office
as a senator, for his private, personal,
p~ecuniary adva ntage, In a most improper
manner. J
Resolued: That we are in favor Of pay
ing every honest, public debt with most
scrupu!ous exactitude, regardless Of any
technicalities; but this Indebtedness was
fraudulent from its inception, the very
organisation of the railroad company
which received the bonds being based on
fraud aud the people are under no moral
obligation whatever with regard to It.
RESOLVED: That we call on our delegate
in congress, Hon. T. b. Catron, to use
every means In his power to prevent the
passage of this amendment, as unjust to
the people of this county, and throwing
upon them an intolerable burden for which
they have no equivalent.
