ROUALT'S 200 ACRES IN TOMATOES.
Governor Prince at Work for the Horticul-
tural Fair While at Las Cruces.

Hon. l.. b. Prince returned last night
from a brief trip to Las Cruces. While
there he secured the cooperation of the
Agricultural college with the horticul-
tural fair. As the college opens on the
first fair day, President Jordan cannot
attend, and Professor Vestal is unfor-
tunately sick, but Professor Cockrell
will represent the institution, and ar
rangements may be made for a lecture
from him on insects injurious to fruit"
There will be an excellent exhibit of
peaches, grapes, figs, pears, etc, from
the Mesilla valley.
While south, Governor Prince visited
the canning establishment of Theodore
Roualt and also his extensive tomato
field. Mr.. Roualt has this year over 200
acres of tomatoes and in order to irri-
gate them and be independent of the
uncertain acequia supply, has construct
ed a lake over half a mile in length,
from which he is now watering his
fields. The picking of the crop COM
menced this morning and will be con
tinued regularly till frost.

IMPORTANT OPINION.
Law Regarding Employment of Special At
toneys by Boards of County Commits
sioners Construed by Solicitor

General.
OFFICE OF SOLICITOR GENT OF N. M,
Santa Fe, August 81, 1898. (
Hon. John Franklin, District Attorney
Eddy, New Mexico.-Dear Sir: Your
favor of the 93rd asking my opinion, as
to whether Chapter 20, session laws 1897,
compiled as section $40, forbidding
county commissioners to employ special
attorneys and counsel, to the exclusion
of district attorneys under section
2516, is received; and in reply would say
that the statute of 1897. compiled as
section $40, | do not think repeats
either of the other sections, and for that
reason the other sections were left in the
compilation. The duty of the district
attorney remains the same, and the
prohibition on the county board con
tanned in section 2579 is released to the
extent ''that it shall be lawful for the
county commissioners, to employ special
attorneys and counsel for the prosecu-
ton of said suits" The first part of the
act clearly contemplates the tendency
of a suit, which. under the other law
must have been brought by the district
attorney, and the employment of such
special attorneys and counsel is autho-
rized for the assistance of the regular
law officer. ! think this is plain from
the language of the act and l know it
was the intent of the act at the time it
was presented to the legislature, and
they cannot exclude" the district attor-
ney from a suit which he has already
brought; nor can they employ an attor-
ney outside of the district attorney to
bring such suit. Very respectfully,
EDWARD l.. BARTLETT,
Solicitor General of New Mexico.

BE Careful in Handling ReIich

One result of the war with Spain has been
to flood this country with relics gathered
at Santiago and elsewhere by American
soldiers and correspondents, which they
have proudly distributed among their
frierds on their return. These relics vary
in character from a Cuban machete to
fragments of shells which exploded in the
fierce fighting of July l and 2. The greater
proportion of the curiosities are Mauser
cartridges, some in their loading Slips
others Ice sc, some empty, others loaded and
capable of doing damage as ever. Their
percussion caps are in place, and 1t re-
Quires relatively slight blow on the
proper place to explode them. A word Of
warning is seasonable, perhaps, to prevent
tragedies growing out of the inordinate
curiosity OF some people. particularly of
small children. who are always irresistibIy
attracted by firearms and their missiles
One of these loaded shells, it is under
stood, fell out of a boys pocket in one of
the public schools of this city the other
day, and, CHANGING to strike on the cap
against a projection of the iron standard
of his desk. exploded with sufficient force
to send the ball through the flooring above.
Fortunately no damage was DONE but 1t Is
clear that death might readily have fol-
lowed this chance explosion had the ball
taken a slightly different course. In one
other way these cartridges may be a source

ing. nor is France now strong enough in
Africa to do so. yet 1t is likely that France
has thought to establish a claim on a Nile
base by this means, relying upon diplomatic
maneuvers to give her an advantage. The
power which ultimately joins the extremes
of the continent as England is now striv-
ing to do will command the situation COM
pletely and herein lies the chief reason for
the evident reluctance in official France to
yield tamely to the demand for Marchand' 5
withdrawal. There is more evidence to
show that France will have to submit than
now appears to support a belief in her de-
hance of England. Ordinarily a war cry
might serve to unite the now divided peo-
pie, but not this kind of war cry. 1t would
seem that practically the only war which
can heal the domestic wounds is with Ger
many over the dismembered provinces. The
people are not vitality concerned in Africa.
They take slight interest in the colonial
policy. On the other hand they are Bit
terly interested in Alsace and Lorraine.
This is shown by the fact that the streets
of Paris, according to cable reports, show
no signs whatever of excitement on the
part of the people over the Fashoda affair,
while the crowds are shouting imprecations
for and against Dreyfus and the strikers
are voicing their woes. Under such cir
cumstances a war enterprise is by no
means the remedy for internal troubles
which it might prove were the foreign
enemy Germany rather than England.

A Strange Case of Apathy.

The mystery OF the hour is the apathy
exhibited by the voters on the subject of
politics. 1t is general and both parties are
complaining. The old topics seem no longer
TO possess any interest. and the new ones
excite no positive enthusiasm. Many of
the best stumpers are in the field. Cam
paign managers are everywhere eXerting
themselves to stir the people up to a proper
realization of the situation and from now
on will increase their efforts. But. up to
date. 1t is an undisputed fact that the cam
paigns. state and national, except in Penn
sylvania where bitter personal fighting is
in progress. are a frost"
This is certainly no year for indifference
1t cannot be INDUCED in on either side
cept to the serious detriment of the prin-
ciples professed. Silver. as is very well
known is the democratic issue. The real
leaders Of the democracy frankly avow the
fact. Adopting a military figure. they de-
scribe the party as being now on the sk1r-
mish line for the general enga cement in
1900. and they are urging the Importance of
victory this year. But their strongest
hope of success lies not in any manifesto
tious on their own side, but in the divisions

Rates. Cost and Profit.

One of the, most persistent pleas of the
local telephone company in resisting the
rates prescribed by Congress for this Dis
trict is that the proportionate cost of the
service increases with the number of sub
scribers. This argument. which Is claimed
to be supported by bewildering arrays of
neatly prepared statistics runs counter to
average experience with the laws of sup
ply and demand, which in general dictate
that the cost to the producer of any COM
modify decreases as the volume of the con-
sumption increases. If the citizens be cor
rect in their view that this rule applies to the
telephone business-considered apart from
any references to watered stock or falsely
classified expenses-the company's conteu-
ton that it can not afford to render the
service at the reduced rate falls to the
ground. for it is evident that the business
will be greatly increased by reason of the
reduction of rates and the net profits will
be larger than ever. Now comes a bit of
statistical information from abroad. fur
nished The Star by a correspondent, in the
form OF an extract from the Davos, Swift
zeriand. Courier" as follows:
'One of the things that surprise the
stranger In Switzerland is the extensive use
or the telephone. he butcher the baker
the candIestlck-maker, all use this handy
mat they are, they make it pay In
France. on the other hand, the telephone is
little used The number of .comnunica- :
uons' in that country last year was only
I4,OOo.UoO while Switzerland with a poDu-
lation barely the tenth OF France had AZ
the beginning of 1897. over 800 miles of
telephone lines, with ~ 533 subscribers and
about lJ.pOO,Ooo communications While
the cost OF the telephone in Switzerland is
more than covered by the receipts. the con
tdry Is the case In France, though the
subscription is much higher, being as much
as TIC year, and from Is to tI2 in pro-
FinciaI towns, TO say nothing of each sub
scriDer having to contribute towards the
cost of laying down the wires"
The main point here lies in the fact. as
thus stated. that in Switzerland the lower
rate attracts a far greater proportion Of
telephone users than in France where A
higher rate prevails, and that despite the
low rate and the volume of use-conditions
which the local company AYERS will cause a
loss OF proht-the cost of the telephone is
more than covered in Switzerland" while
the contrary is the case in France"

The Cuban Debt.

If it is true that Spain is seeking at Paris
to saddle the Cuban debt on the people of
the island it is impossible to believe her
sincere. 1t must be a trick of trade. She
must be piling up her demands for no other
purpose but to appear to reluctantly sur
render one impossible point after another,
and then stand forth when the matters of
actual contention are reached as the party
whose turn it now is to receive concessions.
This was the game Spain played in the
events leading up to the war. Every
change in her policy toward Cuba was pro-
claimed having been made out of defer
ence to American wishes and representa-
tions. The recall of Weyler. the modification
of the order about the reconcentrados, the
humbug grant of a humbug autonomy, all
were advertised by Spain efforts on her
part to meet public opinion in the United
States on the subject of her duty to her
colony. The truth was that while the
United States had pointed out her duty to
her the whole policy of butchery and op-
preston had failed and she was at the end
Of her rope. She could go no further in
that direction. But she loudly insisted
that, after having done everything possible
to avoid war. was forced on by the
United States. AS a matter of fact she had
done nothing but confess obvious failures
and play tricks; and after the treacherous
destruction of the Maine war was inev-
table
The idea that the people of Cuba should
be required to pay the enormous price in
money of their persecution is preposterous.
They have been freed from Spains control
not by dicker, but by the triumph of Amer
lean arms They owe nothing to SPAIN
and the United States will press no claim
for what it has done for them but an
earnest wish that they address themselves
at once to the establishment of peace in the
island as the foundation for structure of
good government. There was a time when
the Cubans would probably have been will
ing to purchase the island from Spain, but
at that time Spain drew herself up with
pride and refused to entertain even the
suggestion. Now she wants the Cubans to
help her to pay her debts, and that part OF
them incurred by her in ravaging their
homes and shedding their blood!
1t is to be noted that the discussion Of
this subject has set off the few guttersnipe
newspapers printed in this country with
infamous impeachments of the President
and his peace commissioners. Cables from
Paris accuse the commissioners of maneu-
vering in the interests of capitalists who are
loaded UP with Spanish securities, and the
charges are made the subject of arraigning
comment on this side. 1t IS difficult to
conceive of anything more dastardly than
this. But it IS directly i'll line with accusa-
tions from the same sources which ascribed
to the President and his friends just before
hostiiities opened mercenary motives in
shaping the policy of the government. This
sort of stuff will find its way back to Paris
and WILL of course. be used in an effort to
discredit the country. 1t will not count for
much, but only for the reason that it is
vile enough to discredit itself

of danger. The balls are not so tightly
embedded in the shells that they cannot be
worked out by the fingers. This is of
the distinguishing features of the Mauser
shell over that of the Krag. which requires
plier to extract the ball. This facility in
unloading the cartridge offers a temptation
to the curious to take out the celebrated
"smokeless powder" from the shell and eX-
pertinent with it. 1t will not explode in the
open, but it will flame up suddenly, and is
apt to burn the experimentor badly, per-
haps binding him. These warnings are
worthy of attention by parents and others.
The relics should be safely guarded, if
kept. and at all events placed out of the
reach of the little folks. who naturally
have no discretion in handling such things.
