And There Are Others,

1t is not so long ago since European
journals We're holding up their hands in
a sort of amazed horror at the scandals
sprung in this country Immediately on
the concluding of the war with Spain;
and for the time, the triumphs of the
boys in blue at Santiago and Manila
were lost sight of in the charges. coun-
t%ercharges and sensational attacks on
the administration of the War depart
ment, and particularly on the commits
sary and quartermaster branches there
Of, made for political effect by those
opposed to the administration. But
while the sensation is at its hight, it is
noticed that other nations are having
their little troubles. France has be-
come involved in a revival of the Drey-
fus scandal, on account of which Il
prominent French army officer has
suicided, if he was not deliberately
murdered in his cell, a new trial of the
accused officer, Dreyfus, has been or
dered, and the French republic is being
stirred to such an extent that it is
feared in more than n quarter the
disturbance will result in the destruc-
ton of the republic and the restoration
of the monarchy. England has become
embroiled anew on the upper Nile and
in the Soudan, in consequence of which
thousands of Dervishes have gone to
join Mahommet. Spain is all broke up
by internal political discussions in
which the butcher Weyler is taking a
prominent hand. Her present dynasty
is likely to suffer an overthrow and Don
Carlos be put upon the throne. The
empress of Austria has just been assas-
sinated by a mongrel anarchist at
Geneva which has thrown the Austrian
nation into the deepest grief. Emperor
William is in a fair way to entangle
himself in a wal with this country over
the Philippines, Russia is walking soft
ly lest she and the British lion come
openly into conflict and the Turks are
getting a much deserved thrashing in
the island of Crete.
There is trouble and grief all around,
so that the foreign journals ought to
have all they can attend to in looking
after their own funerals without both
ering about army scandals in the United

in March, 1895, and 2o,3l3 in March,
1898, The wages paid for the month
were S704, 295.2S in 1895, and $780,
1854 IS in 1898. In these establishments
there were nearly 1900 more persons
employed, and the average wages for
the month sprang from 500 in 1895 to
ISL in 1898. This increase in average
wages paid was due partly to ali in
crease in the wage rate and partly to
the increase in the number of days
work per IAN
From the state Of Washington there
are l6s reports representing concerns
which employed 3,946 hands in March,
1895, and $500 in 1893. The wages paid
for that month In 1895 were $ls8, 8s9. n;
in 1898, $3.50, 25S. 80. The number OF
hands almost doubled and the wages
paid more than doubled"
The statistics in the report include
every state in the Union and are there
fore fairly representative, but want OF
space prevents giving them in extenso.
The subject is left for the present, fully
agreeing with Mr.. Tayler's conclusions:
st is a shameful abuse of the credul-
ity of tariff reformers that always, UNI
der a protective tariff, we have more
work and more wages; more men en-
ployed, higher wages paid, and a days
wage paying for more and more OF the
things the wage arm needs.
"The tariff reformer thinks these are
mere condolences; but the ordinary in.
tellect has ceased to separate prosperity
from protection" rg

Have No Regard For Law.
Iordsburg Liberal.)

\DOAu AAOCAuA.y .'HT
Tho SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN recently
sent a reporter to Las Vegas and had
him examine the county records. He
reported that the county commissioners
constantly violated the law of the
territory in allowing taxpayers to settle
with the county by turning in accounts
against the county as part of their pay
ments, which is a direct violation of the
law. The reporter discovered that the
chairman of the board of commissioners
was one of the men who paid his taxes
in this manner. The Las Vegas Optic,
in commenting on this expose made by
the NEW MEXICAN, said that this action
of the county commissioners was not
news, as the proceedings Of the board
have been printed in the county papers
and every one had a chance to know
about it. The Optic said further that
no taxpayers in the county objected to
this violation of the law, because the
county was really better off financially
because Of this action, although, accord
ing to the NEW MExIcAN's account, it
might be suspected that the eason they
did not object was because all the tax
payers in the county paid their taxes in
this way. 1t rather looks as though
some of the people of San Miguel county
have nc more regard for law than
some of the people of Dona Ana county.
In one case the violation of the law is
in the direction of murder, while in the
other case it is in the natureoflarcency.

1t is not strange that all the attacks
against the San Miguel county commits
s%ioners, with which the New MEXICAN,
the Citizen and the little busy Bee, of
San Marcial, have abounded, should
come from outside of the county and
not one word of complaint should be
heard from the county.--Las Vegas
Optic.
There is nothing strange about it.
The county commissioners, to judge
from the public records, have taken
particular pains to provide for any such
contingency by "buttering the bread"
of every n in the county who might
be expected to make a row over the
manner in which the business of the
county is being conducted. Such being
the case, the only way possible for the
unlawful proceedings Of the board Of
county commissioners to be shown up to
the voters in their true light was for
outsiders to take up the fight for the
law and equal rights for all tax payers.

Would Be An Acceptable Candidate.
Iordsburg Liberal,)

Ell Republican,, q paper printed in
Spanish at Socorro, edited by w. 4.
Martin, comes this week with a picture
of Captain Max Luna, of the
Rough Riders" and urges his nomina-
ton as delegate for congress on the Re-
publican ticket this fall. Captain Luna
is the only officer of Spanish descent
who fought on the American side dur
ing the late war with Spain. As a rep
resentative of the war spirit he would be
an acceptable candidate to the large
number of voters in the territory who
will have the say as to who shall be our
next delegate. The Republicans must
nominate a man who was known to be
all right on this question.

People Sick and Tired of Paying Ex-
orbitant Salaries.

The Headlight nnounces right here
that it will vigorously fight any attempt
being made by the next legislature from
repeating the act of reducing the fees
of county officers. We have been in
formed that at least some aspirants for
office are making the race upon the
superstition that at the proper time
they will 60 to Santa Fe and secure the
repeal Of the act passed by the last
legislative assembly and consequently
have fat county jobs at the expense Of
the taxpayers. This will not be per
mitted, if the people have anything to
say at all. And Furthermore 1t would
be mighty good politics for both parties
to announce their intentions upon this
subject in the platforms. The tax
payers OF Grant county are thoroughly
sick and tired of paying men who or
dinarily could not command salaries OF
over 500 per month, $4,000 and s., 900
per mi for doing nothing, but posing
as county officers,
