HARMONY PREVAILED.

The 32d legislative assembly opened
yesterday under circumstances that augur
we'll for the fair territory of New Mexico.
The NEW Mexican is rejoioed that, after
many years of active participation in the
"worries and an1ieties OF the hurrying
throng" and witnessing many scenes that
were not creditable to the good sense of
the actors, it finally has the privilege of
recording the organization of legis-
lature at Santa Fe that has merged poll
tics in business and temporarily at least
wiped party lines from the "face of the
earth" Probably the most fortunate cir
cumstance in the chequered history of
New Mexico is the fact that both houses
of the 32d legislative assembly we're a tie
so far as the two great political parties
were concerned and that the members of
the two houses had sense enough to see
that they were ''men and brothers" and
ought to act as such. The manner in
which the two houses we're organized lie
an enduring letter of credit to every
member who took part therein. In
cordially joining the Democrats in plac-
ing Hon. Antonio Joseph, of Taos, in the
Office of president of the council, the Re-
publicans generously contributed toward
bestowing a well merited honor upon one
OF New Mexico's foremost citizens, and
when the Democrats Of the house unani.
mously supported Hon. W. Il. H. Llsw.

body they honored themselves by honor
GERS both houses, it seems to US, have
been peculiarly fortunate, and, SO far as
is possible for few men to dispatch
vast deal of clerical business, we antici-
pate that these men will not be found
wanting in any respect. Fortunately
Delegate Catron was unsuccessful in his
pernicious effort to deprive the assembly
of the services of Interpreters and trans
lators. We apprehend, before the SEES
sion is over, it will be plentifully demon
strated that the number of employees has
been curtailed beyond the limits of rea-
son and good policy.

The legislature this winter should make
radical changes in the methods of tax
collections. There have been thinkers at
work on the territorial tax system, from
time to time until it has become a mass
of inconsistence. If committee will 60
to the territorial library and select one of
the statute books of Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Wisconsin or other states where
the laws on the subject have been per-
footed in the light Of experience, and
copy, with only such changes as may be
necessary to adopt it to this territory, the
entire law relating to taxation, and pro-
cure it's passage New Mexico would prob
ably be able to boast of revenue system
that she need not be ashamed Of. The
present laws provide for the compulsory
payment of certain expenses and then
forbid the officers charged with auditing
the accounts drawing orders or making
levies to meet these payments. It limits
levies to certain maximum per cents of
valuation and at the same time requires
the performance of services at fixed fees
and salaries which necessitate the expen-
diture of largely more money than the
maximum rate of taxation will raise. 1t
requires county commissioners to incur
expense and then denies them the right
of power to even issue warrants on the
treasury unless there is money there to
pay them, and places it beyond their
power to raise the adequate amount of
funds by taxation. 1t is certain that ex
penses must be cut down or taxation in
creased unless the counties of the terri
tories are to go into the hands of receiv-
ers as the Democrat has already suggest
ed for Bernalillo county.-White Oaks
Eagle.

The Cause of Reform.

The agreement which was reached at
Santa Fe between the Democrats and Re-
publicans, in regard to the organization
of the legislature, reflects great credit
upon both parties, and goes far to
strengthen the opinion which alread pre-,
walls throughout the territory that the
voters of New Mexico have chosen SEN
sible body of men to represent them at
Santa Fe this winter. 1t also augurs well
for the cause of reform, which is now be-
ing SO earnestly pressed by the people of
the territory. This is an excellent be-
ginning, and will reflect credit upon the
name of New Mexico all over the Unite d
States. Let the session be conducted up
on the lines thus laid down, and the pres
ent legislature will 90 into history as the

The NEW MEXICAN is neither prophet
nor the son of a prophet, but it is well
pleased, nevertheless, over the fact that
the legislative council was pleased to
adopt its suggestion, made on Wednes-
day of last week, that it would be doing
the graceful thing to make unanimous
tender of the presidency of the council
to Hon. Antonio Joseph. This was done
yesterday, and we are sure no member of
that distinguished body will ever have
cause to regret the part he took in max
ing such tender unanimous.

PRESS COMMENT.
A New COunty's Boast.

1t has become an almost constant com.
plant in our territorial contemporaries
that county affairs are in bad shape. We
ympathize with them, but it is not with a
fellow feeling. Cbaves county is all
right The sheriff has already settled
with the commissioners for the past year.
The county has no floating indebtedness
whatever, and there is money in every
fund provided by law. Taxes, too, are
lower than in any other county in the ter
ritory, and our people pay up promptly.

EMOTIONAL BANKRUPTCY.
James Mclean Tells the Story of How
His Insolvency Was Caused by
Mrs. Susan L. Currie.


James Mclean is a picturesque bank
rupt He owes $S15 4S, according to his
own statement, yet has assets that in his
estimation ought to yield S4S, ,28s. This is
almost equal to the New Orleans man that
General Grant used to tell about who was
reckoned by his neighbors to be worth
$4,000 because he had two bull pups
valued (by him) at $25, 900 each.
Mr.. Mclean has a formula for insect
powder, which he thinks is really worth
$l5, 600, and he has a contract for the right
to make and sell this commodity i'll Aus
tralia, whereby he is to receive $l4, 27S and
profits on all sent from the Antipodes to
the United States. Nor is this ALL Mr.
Mclean says he has a right of action
against Mrs. Susan e. Curre for $50. 900
damages for slander. and he might Just
as we'll have made it 100000 or 1,00O, 900,
Tor he admits that he knows nothing of
the lady's financial ability to respond in
case of successful litigation.
This same lady, Mrs. Currie, holds his
note for $400, but he AYERS that it is tainted
by the fact that it was secured >by durass
namely, threats TO prosecute for alleged
wrongdoing. He alleges that his insoI-
vency grows out of the persecution of Mrs.
Currie, who drove all his customers from
him.
Judge Slack will hear this comic-opera
bankrupt at an early date and decide his
tate according to the law and the facts.
