Aspiring patriots everywhere will be
justified in pointing the finger of scorn
at that Iowa man who recently refused
the appointment as surveyor general

BEDE's Budget: For thirty years
many of our own people as we'll as our
immigrants have been hurrying into
our growing cities to live. It has been
an era of wondrous progress in inven-
tion, and urban life has received many
finishing touches which have quite fas-
cinated the giddy-headed folks who
could live for ever on show and short
cake. The more sensible and substan-
tial people, however, surfeited with
this social froth and pantomime, have
become weary of the useless burdens
they have borne, and are looking land
ward. The next five or ten years will,
through this natural reaction, be not
able for the growth and improvement
of rural districts. The beauties and
advantages of country life will be ex-
tolled by the press, and another decade
will find the great masses of our PEG,
pie happier than they are today
Through this new contentment will
come better citizenship and wiser
and more stable government. Pessi
mists who see no beacon light ahead
will die of grief or be smothered ir
halos of gladness. We shall return
again to that independence and indi
viduality which were the glory of thu
early days of our republic, and which
foretold and shall again foretell thu
perpetuity of our free institutions

INTER STATE COMMERCE.

tension of Time for COuplers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dece mber L.
There is the biggest gathering Of rail-
road men at the headquarters of the
Interstate commerce commission
this morning that the capital has seen
for long time. Thew are here in the
rter est of an extension of the time
within which their cars are required
to bee quipped with automs tic couplers
and power or train brak es. The time
fixed by thesact of congrt So in New
Years Day next. So far but two of the
big roads, tie Burlington and the New
York Central, have compiled with.the
law; very large number have filed
petitions for an extension of the time,
while several hundred of the smaller
roads have ignored themattcr entirely.
Today the commits ion commences to
take up the plea of each road and de-
eide it upon it's merits. The five rail-
road brotherhoods are strongly repre-
sented here and will oppose many of
applications. The chief argument If
the roads is that in view of the hard
times they have not heen able to make
the enormus outlay involved in COM
plying With the law. The act was pass
ed in March. 1903 during the admins
traitor of President Harrison ard
largely through the fundamentally of
the railroad brotherhoods, and in
order to give the railroads ample time
it was provided that the act should mot
60 into effect until five years after its
passage.

Judge Stephen +. Field Retires From

WASHINGTON, u. c., December L.
Justice Stephen f. Field of the Unie-
ed States supreme court today sur
renders the commission which he re-
ceived from Abraham Lincoln, lays
ssiCe his black gown of Office and re-
tires to private life. For thir' y-fOur
years and seven months the venerable
Californian has been a member of the
highest judicial t"ibunal of the land,
while for nearly six years before being
elevated to this position he sat upon
the supreme bench of the courts of his
oative sta'e. The voluntary resisna-
tiOn of the justice was sent to the pres
ident two months since and accepted
by the chief executive with regret, an
agreement beiog made that it should
not go into effect until today. Former
Justice Field is now eig hty-one years of
age. and has been eligible for retire
ment since November of 1886. He was
aaXious, however, to exceed the longest
term of service on the supreme banch
Chief JUS ice Marshall who servei
tbirty-four years, five months and six
days. Efforts were made by his frien is
to induce him to retire two years ago,
but he was oppose to giving Preside Mt
Cleveland an opportunity to appoint u
democrat to the bench TO succeed him.
Under the law former Justice Field
will! receive the full salary of an as
soc ate justice for the remand of
his life. This is 10000 year. There
has been auy amount of speeul ton
concerning his successor, the bes. in

General McKenna as the lucky man.

was anxious to return to his home at

of A. G. V. LebretOa ct al VS.. Gustav

w. r S Sinkard, Juan S. Hart VS..
Millard Pate son ct al. Reversed and

VS.. A. G. Wilcox. Reformed and af-
frmed, the case of T. II. Conklin vs.
The City of Ell Paso.
The last case was test case in the
celebrats delinquent tax cases trie
in the district court last summer. In
this case the court holds that all taxes
for public schools maintenance, sink
ing fund and in crest on school be cnds
and sewer bonds are void, and that all
interest On taxes due prior to those of
the year 1895 are invalid. Millard
Patterson and D. Storms represented
the city, and Judge w. M. Coldw ell
and M. w. Stanton represented the
appellants.
The taxes for the support of the pub
lie schools and to pay off the school
bonds are held invalid, because the city
pub ic schools, the act under which the
election to assume control was held.
having been repealed as to the mode
and manner of the election.
The tax to pay the sewer bonds is in-
valid because it is excessive, two per
cent being the limit of taxation per
mitted by charter OF 1889. All the in
:erest on delinquent taxes levied prior
to the year 1895 ara held invalid, be-
cause there was no provision in the
law prior to 1895, which authorized the
collection of such interest. All the
other taxes levied are held valid.
THE BERALD is informed after
talk ng with members of the local bar,
that the effect of the decision, if not
moe ified on a rehe airing, or set side
by the supreme court, will be t, over
turn the present school system, and

Patterson thinks the upper court has
made a wrong construct ion of the law,
uuder which the schools were organiz-
ed, and says that the present decision
is not final. He will at once move for
rehesr ng, and il unsuccessful will
carry the case to the supreme court.
