Some More San MIGUEL Rottsnness.

Expediency, economy and reform, the
watch words of the San Miguel abate-
ment outfit, are a trife misused when
the actions of the board of county COM
m%issioners is considered.
The New Mexican is informed that
the chairman of the board of county
commissioners is a stakeholder in the
Las Vegas Publishing Company. Hence
the bowls from the Las Vegas Optic.
The true inwardness of this, however,
becomes more apparent when the tax
payer takes enough time to look up the
record of official misdoings, performed
under the guise of 'expediency." Han
dy word. Now what does the record
show? 1t Is a well known fact that r.
A. Kistler some months ago disposed Of
all his Interest in the paper named, to a
syndicate. At the time Of the sale to the
present n Of that paper there was
a Judgment in the district court Of San
Miguel county against r. A. Kistler for
deliquent taxes in the sum Of 1886. 80.
These taxes were assessed and levied
during the time when Felix Martinez
was clerk Of the district court, Judge
Long district attorney, Thos. Smith

Government For the Islands.

The form of government for the Ha7
waiian islands has been determined, and
the wiseacres who predicted all manner
of trouble from annexation find them
selves in a position where they cannot
say a word about statehood. The same
Mexico and Arizona will obtain in the
new possessions and against that 10 one
can complain except those who are COM
PEELED to live under it.
The objections which have been raised
to the acquisition Of the island of Puer-
to Rico, the Philippines and others, that
the form of government that would be
demanded by the inhabitants would be a
character of the peoples who would be
taken into the government, are ground
less. The members of congress from the
states have 1t In their power, as the peo-
ence to say when a territory shall be-
come a state, and the islands in question
will remain a territory just so long as
congress thinks best.
The experience gained by the inhabit-
ants of the islands under a territorial
form of government will go a long
ways in fitting them for self govern
ment, and when admission as states is
granted, no trouble will be experienced
from ignorance of law and the require
ments of citizens. The one thing neces-
sary to the Puerto Ricans, Cubans ana
Philippines is education. The establish
ment of free public schools under the
supervision of the United States author
tiles will furnish the means for acquir-
ing a knowledge of those subjects so
necessary to good citizenship, while
closer relations with Americans, which
are bound to follow the influx of people
from the United states into the fields
offering opportunity for investment will
soon Americanize the islands, except In
the remote districts.
Colonization is a new experience for
this country, but the success that a
attended every undertaking of the gov
ernment is sufficient to warrant the
supposition that the world will be
shown that a liberal policy in dealing
! with alien peoples will succeed where a
rigid military rule and oppression fails.
There is no occasion for worry over the
problems of government for the new
possessions, the woeful predictions of
he aDti-expansionists to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Education, personal
responsibility and freedom of action will
solve successfully every question that is
now frightening the timid conservatives
of the country.

Work Of the Republican Party.

The strength of the free silver element
in the east is certainly failing, and that
rapidly. In the state conventions held
by the Democrats in Connecticut, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and
Maryland free silver was rejected by
the delegates assembled as dangerous to
the we'll being of the country.
The effect of the action of the Demo
Gratis in those states will be for the best
interests If the country in every re-
spect, but more particularly in strength
| ening the confidence of foreign powers
in the stability of the circulating me-
| dunn of the United States, and thus
| preventing a depreciation of the secur-
| tiles of this country held abroad.
There is no question but the Republic
can party, by it's wise administration of
the finances and business OF the govern
ment in the past two years has brought
about this marked change in the silver
sentiment among eastern Democrats.
Had the Republican administration
been less wise; had business stagnation
continued after the Inauguration of
President Mckinley; had the gold re-
serve needed strengthening by the issu-
ance of bonds, as under the administra-
ton of Cleveland, there would have
been a tremendous growth in the
strength of the free %silverites. When ad-
versity comes the one desire of every
one is to try a new policy. Any expert
ment is welcomed as a possible means
of release from troubles, and free silver
appeared to offer that release before the
return of better times.
With the return Of the Republican
party to power, the enactment of a pro-
tective tariff and the announcement by
| the administration hat the money of
| the United States would in no wise be
| allowed to depreciate, came prosperity.
| Business resumed the activity which
| characterized it prior to 1893. employ
the desire to experiment with dangerous
ideas has since gradually disappeared.
| While the Republican party is in a po-
sition to claim hat the change in opin-
ion regarding the financial question is
/ due to it's efforts, and has been able to
maintain the credit Of the United States,
pay the expenses of a war with a for
| eign country and place more gold in the
treasury than was ever known at any
one time before, by refusing to listen tc
the demands of the free silverites. let nj
one think that the party is antagonistit
to silver. On the other hand the Repub.
lican party is ready and anxious to re-
store the white metal to its former place
as a monetary metal, and the moment
that the restoration is possible through
the assistance Of some Of the other lead
ing nations, the proper steps looking to
the rehabilitation Of silver will be taken.
But until that time m the leaders of
the party recognize the utter impossi-
bility Of the United States attempting to
carry the burden alone.

judge and Felix Martinez collector Of
the county The fact that a, Judgment

judge and Felix Martinez collector Of
the county. The fact that a judgment
was obtained against Kistler shows that
the assessment and levies were consid-
cred by all concerned to be just and
proper The judgment became a lien
against the property of Kistler, includ-
ing the Optic plant. 1t was a first lien,
and all that was necessary in order to
collect the judgment was to enforce the
lien and the county treasury would
have been better off to the tune of
1886. so.
Times change, however, and the own
ers of newspapers with them. Among
the new owners are Messrs. Martinez,
Coors, Coke and others, 80 this paper Is
told. This judgment stared them in the
face. In order to show that the facts
are correctly stated, reference is made
to case No. 1859, Territory of New Mex
leo VS.. r. A. Kistler, taxes, a Miguel
county. What was done? Did the col
lector or the sheriff enforce this judg-
ment? Not a bit of it, not while the
stockholders in the Optic property had
the manipulating of the old machine.
What wa done? Oh. not much! The
board on the ground of public expedien-
cy abated the taxes to the sum of 1915.
That was just as good as cash and ev-
erybody knows it. All this was done by
the board at the August meeting just
passed.
The law says that attachments may be
made when there is an error in the as
sessment. In this case the court had
already said hat there was no error in
the assessment or the levy. The court
had said that the property assessed
should pay the sum of $685.. so. but the
board of county commissioners overrul-
ed the district court. declares itself as
the mighty Poo-bah and satisfies judg-
ments, lawfully obtained. whenever 1t
sees fit, and without one iota of author
ity for so doing.
Is there a tax payer in New Mexico,
outside of the defenders of the gang.

%chicanery and evasion, who can stand
up for this sort of thing? A sense Of
moral decency, at least, would seem to
have prevented Coors, chairman and
stakeholder. from passing upon a case
in which, according to all reports, he
was directly interested. But the sense
of shame seems to be a back number
oven there. They pay no attention to
the law and then calmly say, What are
you going to do about it?' An old man,
named Tweed, once asked the same
question. History has recorded what
happened. 1t may be remarked that
there are others" If these statements
are true. come out and say so. Let the
people have the facts. Your opinion Of
the editor of this paper is a very poor
answer to the charges here made. The
New Mexican's opinion Of you, even If
couched in the most proper English,
would make the facts no different than
what they are. Opinions cut no ice.
What the people want is the facts.
