Hon. James S. Duncan, Republican
candidate for the council of the 33d leg
islative assembly, from San Miguel and
Guadalupe counties, was born in Brook
Ign, N. Y, November I, 1852. He began
life for himself While a mere boy, work
ing on the Erie canal, afterWard going
to. sea as a sailor before the mast. His
life on the ocean wave, however, was of
short duration, and he left that occu-
patton to become a soldier in the regular
United States army. In 1869 he was as
signed to duty in New Mexico as 1st
duty sergeant of troop D, Sth cavalry.
At the expiration of his term of enlist
ment he engaged in the freighting bus
mess and from that went into railroad
contracting, which he followed success
fully for Is years. At the present time
he is engaged in business in East Las
Vegas and has large mining interests
in both New Mexico and Mexico.
In 1894 Mr.. Duncan was elected to the
council from the counties of San Miguel
and Guadalupe, but was ~defrauded Of
his seat in that body by the Democratic
party. In November, 1896, he was again
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-11-04

elected to the council from the I'd disa
trict, and in the session which onven
ed in January, 1897, proved a valuable
member, using his vote and influence
for those measures which he considered
would work for the best interests of the
Territory and tax payers.
For the past year and a half Mr..
Duncan has been a member of the ter
ritorial board of equalization, and has
distinguished himself in that capacity
for his fairness in all matters coming
before the board for adjustment, and
by his endeavors to guard the interests
of New Mexico in every particular. 1t
is within the bounds of truth to state
that a more useful and conscientious
member never before acted on the
equalization board.
Mr.. Duncan's past record as a pri-
vate citizen, as a member of the legis-
lature and of the territorial board of
equalization is such that there is no
questioning what will be the character
of his services in the 33d legislative as
sembly, if elected, and there is very lit
tie doubt of that.

Editor New Mexican.
1t seems to me that in the election of
a delegate to congress-, Mr.. Ferguson
and his friends recognize that it is mex
to an impossibility for him to be elect
ed. They virtually acknowledge that
Hon. Pedro Perea's majority will be
very large, and in casting about for
means to prevent such a result on Tues
day, are resorting to questionable
methods. Having nothing in the way
of mistakes 'or crimes committed by
Mr.. Perea to charge him with, they are
accusing him of things he eve did.
have heard so much, and also read SO
many of these Democratic ~falsehoods,
that j consider it my duty to write this
communication.
The Democrats have e~ndeavored to
make a campaign against Mr.. Perea
by charging him with raising the race
question, and as / nave had the honor
Of accompanying Mr.. Perea on his trips
to some of the counties of the territory
and heard him make addresses to the
people, as a native citizen of New Mex

charge go unchallenged. 1 defy any
Democrat or any other person to ccme
to the front and prove that Mr.. Perea,
in any of his addresses, has used lam
guage hat ear be construed in that
light. Not once during the time l was
with him did he appeal to the people to
vote for him because he is a Mexican or
one of their own race. Mr.. Perea is
making an honest, open campaign and
his speeches consist in showing up the
record Mr.. FERGUSON made while in
Washington and exposing the false
claims made concerning what the gen
tleman accomplished while in congress.
It is impossible for me to give in this
brief letter the exact wording of Mr..
Perea's speeches, but I can give a good
idea of the character and trend of
what he says to the people in his adj
dresses.
Mr.. Perea has told the people to ask
Mr.. Ferguson several questions among
them being: How can MI. Ferguson
justify his professed attitude on the
tariff? He indorses a platform which
declares for a tariff for revenue only,
and then turns squarely around and
! claims that he is responsible for the
present tariff on wool and that he
wants a high protective tariff on wool.
Either he does not believe in the Chi
cago platform or he does not know
where he stands. The Chicago platfol IN
repudiates all kind of protection, and
yet Mr.. Ferguson endeavors to make
the people of New Mexico believe that
he is a ~protectionist for wool only Mr..
Ferguson will, perhaps, remember a
question that Mr.. Perea asked him in
the presence of a number of other gen
tlemen in Albuquerque. He said: Mr..
FERGUSON. If you had had a vote in

NETTING FOR HERD1NG WILD SEALS.

cial agent for the United States treas
ury department, who went quietly to
Alaska and lived there for ten years,
until he solved the problem.
His remedy was as astonishingly
simple as it was original. He suggested
running the skins of breeding wild
seals by branding, thus making them
valueless to the pelagic fishers, who
have caused so much trouble and loss
along the Canadian coast. When he
proposed this plan to the government,
this and the idea of fencing in wild
seals, it was rejected at first with
scorn. Later it was accepted and since
it has been put into practice the con-
scienceless pelagic sealers have been
put to it to making a living.
Just recently Joseph Murray, who
was this quiet but most important fac
tor in the seal question, returned to his
home in Fort Collins Colo, after ten
years in Alaska. He brought his report
with him, but before he could present
it he was suddenly stricken with para
Iysis and died on Oct. 4.
SEALING AT IT'S LOWEST EBB.
A few days previous to his decease
he favored the writer with two inter
views, and talked quite freely upon the
subject of the seal fisheries. Seal fish
ing, he said, was at its lowest ebb since
1884. This year there were killed on
ST. Paul and st. George islands, COM
posing the Pribiloff group in Bering
sea, and upon which are located the
only American seal rookeries of any
moment, there were killed $1,000 seals.
Lats year there were killed on these
islands 10000 seals. During the ten
years between 1879 and 1889 there were
killed annually on an average of 100000
seals. This year Russia and Japan, the
only two, countries besides the United
States owning seal rookeries, killed
only 10000 seals; so that the entire seal
crop of the world this year is less than
one-half that of the United States ten
years ago. This refers of course, to
the legitimate seal fishing.
Pelagic seal fishing is still practiced,
although having suffered great dimin-
ution from the regulations enforced by
the United States, as to open sea seal
ing. and the methods adopted for the
preservation of our seal herds upon the
Pribiloff islands. 1t is estimated by
those best able to judge that since
pelagic sealing began more than 100000
seals have been taken from the open
sea in Boring sea and the North Pacific
ocean This means that 100000 breeding
female seals have been killed, that 300,-
900 pup seals have starved to death
because their mothers were killed, and
that 100000 pup seals yet unborn were
destroyed. In view of these facts it is
not difficult to detect the cause of the
large falling off in the annual real
product.
MURRAY PROPOSES BRANDING.
And there is but little doubt but that
the entire American fisheries would
have been depleted had not some means
been adopted to stem the tide of pei

agic slaughter. And so rapacious
have been the Delagic sealers that our
government has even contemplated the
killing of all of our herds in order to
circumvent the conscienceless maraud-
ers OF the north seas. But humane
scruoles interviewed, and no such ex
IRENE measures have been resorted to.
Various methods, however, were adopt
ed by our government by which the
herds although terribly decimated,
have been kept intact and a sufficient
number of seals remain, if properly
protected, to perpetuate the species,
The first step taken toward conserving
the herds was the annual branding of
the female seals. This experiment was
suggested to Mr.. Murray's mind by the
custom in vogue in Colorado and other
states of the west of branding of cat
tie, with which he was well acquainted
The purpose to be attained was to
make the skins of the female seals
valueless for. commercial uses, and thus
render the animals immune from the
ravages of the pelagic sealers. The
idea was received by the higher au-
