One of the most important subjects to
come before the next legislature is the
matter of curtailing the power of county
commissioners to make wholesale and
dishonest attachments of tax levies. The
territory, the counties and the honest
tax payers are the losers by such actions
Of the county commissioners and the law
should be so amended as to put q full
stop to such injurious proceedings.

The grants of public lands, recently
made by congress to this territory, must
be secured and that the sooner the
better. If the United States has made
no provision to pay the necessary land
office fees, the territory must do so. The
subject is one of the greatest import
ance to the people of New Mexico.

The territorial revenue law during the
past nine wears has proved itself to be
of benefit to the territory. The auditors
and treasurers of the territory during
the past nine years have been faithful,
honest and painstaking officials and have
carried out its provisions to the best OF
their ability. The 33d legislative assem-
bly, should strengthen the system and
perfect, it wherever necessary.

The Sanity Democrats in San Juan
County.
(San Juan County Index

The time for action in the fall cam
paign is rapidly approaching. Conven-
tions and caucuses will be the talk ere
many weeks roll by. The Index hopes
to see the Democrats of the county put
up a good clean ticket, which it will
be Il pleasure as well as a duty to
support. We wish to say right here,
that. with or without fusion, the
nominees on the Democratic ticket
ought to be-must be, in order to succeed
men of known character, capability
and integrity. This time, the interests
of the taxpayers, the welfare of the
county's finances, should be held para
mount. The Index believes this coulse
will be pursued. 1t is good politics, at
all events.

The territorial treasury and several
county treasures are in bad condition.
There are large deficiencies in tax col

the tax collecting atmosphere of the
territory to a wonderful extent.

Mining Activity in Colfax County.
(Spriuger Stockman

One gratifying fact is the renewal of
activity in the mining district of Colfax
county. Word comes now that several
of the properties that have been good
producers and for some time closed
down, pending litigation, will commence
operations again soon. Several mills
are lying idle and some Of them will re-
sumo operations. Litigation has been
one Of the great drawbacks of our min
ing districts, and the less there is of this
the o will the district prosper.

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularityis a matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured m the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when

arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself viii

The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per

say that your Sanative Wash has cured

words may help suffering women
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

some studded in precious stones and one

completed the collection. To be in good
taste in this matter of wearing trinkets,
they should be very, very small-never as
large or larger than the watch The
smaller they are the more curious and val

Another novel idea in summer jewelry is
to have army or navy buttons, the gifts or
relics of any relative or friend you may
have had who fought in the civil war,
gilded and made into link sleeve buttons,
shirt studs and pins, etc. An Old army Of
ticer who was wounded at the first battle
of Bun Run has Just had a beautiful set
made of his buttons for his granddaughter.
The large coat buttons are arranged for
link sleeve buttons, the small vest buttons
made into studs four large buttons at the
four corners of a plain gold buckle make
a very pretty effect, and five of the small
er ones are sOldered on to a plain gold
bar pin. The effect of the whole thing is
handsome, 60 say nothing of the senti-
ment.

No law in the Philippines is more quaint
than that which relates to the property of
married persons 1t is entirely in favor
Of the wife. Property of a bride is never
by any chance settled on a husband. and
if he is poor while she is well OFF, he can
only become at most an administrator of
her possessions.
After death the property goes TO her chill
dren and blood relatives, unless she has
executed a deed in her husbands favor
under the eyes of a notary. A married
woman bears her maiden name but adds
to il that of her husband with the prefix
de. Children bear the names of both par
ents. The independence which women en-
