Economy, Not Taxation.

The United States government is
rapidly proving the assertion Of our
critics Luat a democracy is necess 4ri y
the most eXtravaS ant form OF govern
ment. In another way this theory has
been implied in the statement that in d
democracy The public business Is Lo-
bOoy's business. But If This be really
the characteristic of a democracy, If
democracy must continue to be the
prey OF private interests, and of the
greed OF privileged classes, IL Is a fail
ure at least to That eXteuG. If extrav-
agance Is 10 60 on Increasing, if con-
gfess is never to give a thought to the
general interest, If the taxes are 10 be
come heavier aud heavier burdens, if
our unarmed country Is to be as ex-
pensIve TO its citizens as the cou ntries
of military Europe are to theirs. the
blessings OF our form of government
must grow to be greater than they are
If democracy is not to be proved to be
no improvement Whatever on the forms
OF government TO which 1t has succee j.
ed. That the time has come when the
people must INSIST on u revisal of their
expenditures is SHOWN by the rapid in
crease IN the cost of government with
in the last twenty Years.
In 1881 the population of the L ailed
States was 80, loo, 1873, and the aypro-
priatiOns made by congress for that
fiscal year amounted to $l62, 404. CHS.
In 1890 the population of the country
was g. 622 ,25U, and the appropr latlons
had Increased SO that for that fiscal
year they amounted to S2lS, lis, 44U.
SO that while the population of the
country had been growing at rate
less'thau % per cent, the appropria-
tluns of congress had increased more
than 81 per cent. For the fiscal year
1896 the appt OPERATIONS will be more
than ST per cent in excess Of the appru-
prIatlons for 1850. 1t seems from this
as though Mr.. McKinley's earnest plea
Tor economy in his inaugural address
had much stronger warrant in pre-
valllng conditions than the pending
Dill Tor the increase of taxation and re

Work of the Flood.

y. u bfaOy, VINO runs a chicken
ranch east of Rand's grove, lost q
brooder" containing 100 young chicks
| by the waters dissolving the founda.
tions of the adobe structure; and then
| he lost $50 young birds besides How.
ever, he is cheerful as possible under
the circumstances, and has rescued
the remainder of his birds.
| Supt Martin received word this
morning that the joint track was sub
merged for two and one half miles east
| of the city limits, and the current was
still running. This Will make il neces-
sary to do all transferring by buses
for two days yet before the track can
be exarni' ed. Mr.. Martin says the
road bed may be found in such condi-
ton that very little work will be neces-
sary to repair it, and then it may be
just the reverse. The transfer is now
| about four miles. This will be a
pleasant relief after riding far in the
cars.
A big dam of sand bags has been
built across the canal bed about 200
yards south of the head gate. and the
bank has been raised and strengthened:
so that it seems as il all danger had
been averted at hat point. Then there
has been quite noticeable fall of the
stream along there, and word from
San Marcial this morning said the
river had been falling for three days.
However, the "knowing ones" aver
with more or less exhibition of proph-
etc wisdom, that the SHOWS liz the San
Juan country have scarcely been
tou he'd as yet, and there will be high
water until late in June.
Another break in the joint track
below Concordia was reported at 1920,
making it necessary to transfer pas
senger5 about six miles.
/ The owner of the long jacal to the
east of the Stanton street track near
the bridge, was surrounded last night
with water, and the entire fat is now
one big lake. The wafer broke
through the dyke the Mexican had
thrown up for the protection of the
property.
The flooding of the lowlauds has
bred millions of mosquitoes. They are
all over town, and the community for
the time being has resolved itself into
a huge &C 'atching machine.
a HERALD reporter went up to the
I. q z. round house this afternoon, and
while the water had fallen six inches
in Rand's grove, the flood was still run
ming undisturbed through the broken
emb ankment into the garden fields to
the north, and thence down into East
III PasO. 1t did seem as though 8 or
10 tons of rock and lot of brush and
sacks of sand would stop that flow, but
what was every DO Iy's business was no
body's business, and nothing had been
done. In the meanwhile the water
continues to fall in the river.

New Local Industry.

A local business man, in a position
to know, says that there is quiet
move on deck to start a big iron works
IN Ell Paso. with a capital of $3.50, 900,
and that large orders have already
been received which will keep the new
concern busy for some time
The names of Mr.. Hillari and
Messrs. King and Bartlett mining men
are mentioned as heavily Interested in
the venture, and it is said most of the
prospective orders are for heavy ma
chlnery for mines in which several of
the lDcorpOrators are Interested. The

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The princess of Wales has now held
her title just over So years-a period
which has been exceeded by only one
of her predecessors, Augusta, the
daughter-in-law of George H., who was
for over 50 years princess of Wales.
Joseph Briggs, of New Orleans, who
has been totally blind for seven years,
heard the movements of burglar in
his room and fired three shots in the di-
rection whence the sounds seemed to
come. Every shot took effect and the
burglar was captured.
The contradictory reports in the
newspapers concerning the Cuban in
surrection have sent one poor fellow to
the insane asylum at Topeka. He be-
lieves that he is Maceo, and that the
Spaniards have slain him four times
every month for the past year.
A well-known physician says that
Stanley. the explorer, owes the fact that
he has survived the most dangerous of
his African trips to his having sub
mitted five times to a TRANSMISSION of
African blood into his veins. which is
believed in Africa to be a great aid to
acclimatization.
-Surplus.-An ordinary man can
say everything that any occasion calls
for with n vocabulary of 1000 words.
OF these he generally uses only 400 or
500, using the remainder when an idea
out of the usual line of thought occurs to
him. Most of us, being only ordinary
men, seldom draw upon the surplus 500
words.
A Curious Postponement.-They do
things somewhat curiously in the
courts of the Isle of Man. On the con-
clusion recently of a days hearing in
a right-of-way case, one of the jurors
announced that he had purchased a
ticket for America, and would not re-
turn for some months. The further
hearing of the case was postponed until
his return.
The present area of New York. in
Guiding the recently annexed territory

little over so square miles; Chicago.
1902 square miles; Philadelphia, 1898
square miles. The Greater New York

The finished portion of the new
congressional library at Washington
has about II miles of shelving, which
will accommodate over 100000 vol
umes. The ultimate capacity of the
building for books will be upward of
100000 volumes, or nearly 100 miles of
shelving. In gratifying contrast to the
usual result in the case of public build
ings construction is that the total cost
OF the work will be less by $14o, 900 than
the limit fixed by congress.

| that the river had fallen considerably
at that point and had been
falling for several days. The present

Colorado indicate that the present
flood does not come from there, but
that it is only the flood water of the
northern part of New Mexico. The

Indian Corn.

The story of this corn is quite curl
Gus.
Some years ago, an Indian mound
at Marked Tree, Arkansas, was open
ed. In it was found among other
things, an earthen Jar, Theoretically
sealed with various wrappings and a
coat of pitch. This jar was 3ened,
and found to contain several grains
of corn.
The corn was of brown color and
was dried and wrinkled by age. 1t
had been in this jar for hundreds of
years.
One Of the excavators sent several
of the grains to his brother Mr.. Nor
cross of the New River Lumber Com
pany. Mr.. Norcross planted some Of
them. To his astonishment the ears
of corn resulting were a deep red.
They were not unlike popcorn ears,
though much larger; and the cob is
very small in proportion to the size of
the ear. Mr.. Norcross carefully saved
his corn, and planted again. The
next crop was brown, the original col
or; but the third crop was red.
T Thus he found that when he planted
''brown" seed corn, he got a crop of
red corn; and when he planted "red'
seed corn, the resulting crop was
brown.
My seed corn was procured from
him. AS got some of each color,
Fart of my little crop Is brown and
part of it is red. Taking Its various
points into consideration it is very pro.
bable that it may prove valuable other
wise than as curiosity.
