they do at Silver City. But Silver

Some Pertinent Points.

To the Editor Of the Optic.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, January 10th,
1897 Replying to your complimentary
communication requesting my opinion
as to the most needed legislation for
New Mexico at present: I believe there
should be passed a number of laws fol-
the purpose Of enforcing properly the
good laws we already have, and I be-
lieve there are several laws that should
be repealed, but the most important
legislation Of all, that is needed, is
such as will effectively prevent
the reckless expenditure and
squandering Of the public moneys OF
the Territory and OF the different
counties, by reducing materially the
pay of most all the different county
Officials, and by requiring the Terri
torlal and county printing to be let 10
the lowest competent bidder.
There is no valid reason why EN-
ployes of the Territory should not be
willing to do the same amount of WORK
for comparatively the same pay as they
would 10 private business.
The greatest inducement, tho most
alluring invitation, to investors, is a
low tax. rate and we'll executed laws.
Very sincerely,

FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. %. 1897.

The free traders will never make
anything BY attempting to ignore the
difference between their own country
and the world outside its boundaries.
Every time they assume that there
i. no radical distinction between the
trade relation of the various states or
paris Of states and those which should
exist between nations, they weaken
their cause. The American people are
impatient Of careiessnesS regarding the
great aud deep-rooted difference be-
tween the social and industrial condi-
tons Of this country and Europe.
They cannot bear to DO told that they
must meet foreigners on the
grouad ct poverty and misery, and the
man or party that ignores the higher
standard Of living in the United States,
will never obtain general or lasting
popularity. 1t may be logical, from a
rabid free.trader's standpoint, to argue
that because there is and must con-
tinue to be absolute freedom of trade
between all sections Of the republic,
there should be no restrictions upon
international commerce, but it is utter
ly useless, and worse than useless so
far as making an impression upon
public opinion is concerned. The
American people wan nothing to do
with advisers who refuse to recognize
the difference between the relations of
New York and Pennsylvania, or those
that exist between the different states
of the union, and the conditions which
necessarily limit the intercourse of ma
tions.

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER.
The Crowd Thinning Down-A Bust
ness Session-PetitiOns o Office
Cutting Down Expenses-The
Public Printer, etc.

To the Editor Of the Optic.
SANTA FE, N. M, January 21st, ~
The crowd at Santa Fe has begun t.
thin out. This is particularly noticea
BILE at the down town resorts, wher'
for the first few days; could be seel
every man who had ali eye on a politi
cal ID. II may be that a majority O
the disappointed ones have gone hom'
and this is the cause Of the falling off
whatever it is, some of the bartender
about town will lose a position, in con
sequence of 1t.
l. is a common expression here thai
the legislature this year is, SO far, Q
very tame affair, and that the members
Of both houses are attending to bust
ness instead, OF politics. II this is true,
and continues, the taxpayers OF the
Territory will forgive their representa-
tives for the tameness.
There are a good many petitions for
offices urder Mckinley being circulat.
ed, at present, and every one, demo
Gratis and sill, signing them, irrespec
tive Of who the applicant is or what
office he seeks, just as they do every
where else In America.
1t SEEMS that the people Of New
Mexico are waking up to the fact that
the only way that they a hope TO get
statehood from an honest congress, Is
to produce evidence of ability to gov
ern themselves. The 4 per cent. taxi rate
that is tackled to their coat-tails gives
he whole snap away and until they
are able to remove this, they are likely
to be compelled to continue their cry
of slavery and injustice.
The first step to remove this, is to
reduce the county expenses and il talk
is any criterion, the t~hirty-second legis-
lative assembly will do something in
this direction
The first political split up may be
looked for text Monday afternoon.
when both houses will meet ia joint
session to select a public printer. 1t
LOOKS very much, now, as If j. d.
Hughes, the present business manager
of the New Merican, will be selected, and
If he IS, Of course it will be understood
to have gone to Col. Max Frost, the
man who IS seldom seen outside his
office, but who seemaS5to know every
thing that is going~on, not only in
Santa Fe, but all over the Territory.
II the Citizen makes a strong fight,
Col Max may be foiled and Felix Mar.
tinez might walk off with the plum,
even though he has not yet announced
himself as o candidate.
The members Of the legislature, to-
day, made out their mileage, and the
saying that they came from far and
near, is very true, as some OF the mem
bers from Eddy county, travelled over
900 miles to get here, considerably far
Their than the distance from~Las Vegas
to Kansas City.
Speaking Of distances, n OF the
strong points to De made in favor Of
the division of Bernaiillo county is,
that the sheriff is compelled 10 travel
1853 miles, TO serve papers yer in the
vicinity Of Gallup.
Ii the fun over here is to come, may
it come soon, is the desire of a cores
pondent who must gather items for q
daily letter, in the few spare moments
he has, and In a strange place and q
still stranger business. IDEN.
