WAYS That Are Dark.

In Investigating the official conduct of
the board of county commissioners of
Union county during a recent session of
the District court for that county, the
grand jury found that the said board had
been INDUCING in some tricks that are
vain and wandered In ways that are
dark as regards county funds and tax
matters. The board constituted itself
as a power above the law, ignored legis-
latlve enactments and requirements Of
the law and did a wholesale business at
doing what it pleased, law or no law.
In regard to the boards actions in tax
matters, the grand jury reported as fol-
lows to the court;
THAT we have carefully examined
into the affairs and conditions of the
county and deem it our duty to call the
attention of the court to the fact that by
reason of some great oversight, omission
or ignorance on the part of the board
of county commissioners, hat during
the past year the said board Of commits
%sioners by discriminating in fixing the
assessment of property for taxation, and
exceeding the authority vested in them
by law. they have seriously jeopardized
the revenues of the county for said year
and that it is a matter of serious doubt
whether or not it may become necessary
to readjust the said assessment to cure
and correct the serious errors and mis-
takes caused by the action and proceed
ings of the said commissioners. In that
they have, as VIC are advised and in
formed, fixed the rate of assessment on
taxation for certain purposes in excess
of that allowed by statute, that they
made a general order reducing the value
of certain personal property withou'
making the same reduction OF all othel
classes of property, thereby causing
general dissatisfaction among the tai
payers, who now refuse to pay theil
taxes for the year 1897, who claim tina
the assessment is invalid; and we recon
mend that such proceedings as may b.
necessary to a correction of the error
be taken at once to improve the deplor
able condition Of county affairs"
These comfy commissioners should b.
dealt with summarily under the provis
ions of chapter /, sessions laws OF 1893

THIRTY FIVE MILES OF new CANALS.
Progress on the Animas River L. & I. Co.'s
Enterprises Surveying the Great
Western Canal.

From Treasurer Scott N. Morris, of
the Animas River Land & Irrigation
company, the information is gathered
that the contract for completing the big
| ditch has been let-Messrs. Morris &
Hoover securing the prize. He states
that the bond matter is virtually set
tied, and that by April 10, a full force
| OF teams will be at work along the line
of the Great Eastern canal.
He also states that the survey for the
Great Western canal On the north side
of the river is being run, and that the
construction of that canal will be COM
menced as soon as the Great Eastern is
well along.
The headgate of the Great Western
will be two and one-half miles this side
of the state line, and the altitude is "a
feet above the starting point of the
other ditch. 1t will be a 16-foot canal,
carrying four feet of water, and will
cross the La Plata river in what is
called the McDermot glade, just below
| Prewitt's pasture. This canal will be
probably IS miles in length, and it is be-
lieved the survey will demonstrate that
it will cover the famous meadows" be-
low Pennington.
Mr.. Morris left at this Office a large
bundle Of letters of inquiry from home
seekers all over the country, and a copy
OF the Index will De sent to each address
in addition to the literature and infor-
nation forwarded direct by the officers
of the company.
When these enterprises are all in full
blast, Aztec as the headquarters of the
company, will be one of the liveliest
towns anywhere in the country, and San
Juan county in general will receive the
greatest development ever seen in the
Southwestern Juan County Index.

Impotence Manifested.

The Impotence of the country over
the delayed action in the Cuban and
Maine questions, was shown Yesterday
in the senate, by the introduction of
three resolutions, virtually amounting
to declarations of war, by as many sem
ators from different parts of the United
States. One vas introduced by Senator
Frye, of Maine, another by Senator
Rawlins, OF Utah, and the third by SEN
ator Foraker, of Ohio, in the senate; in
the house Congressman Marsh, of ILL
nois, also introduced one.
There is no question but that these
resolutions were the result of pressure
brought to bear upon the members of
congress by their constituents, and a
general idea of the feeling which pre-
walls throughout the country, is thus
obtained. 1t requires no power of sec
ond sight to see that the people of
Maine, Ohio, Illinois and Utah are de-
sirious of settling the matters involved
In the Maine report, and the speeches
made in the senate by senators who
have visited Cuba, at once and for all
time. Nor Is this desire confined to the
states named, it is general throughout
the United States.
President Mckinley has acted wisely
In the matter, and his desire to prevent
bloodshed and expense is commended by
every one, but the feeling that the time
for Intervention is at hand has become
so strong that it is beginning to find e1-
preston in determined accents in the
halls Of congress. When that point is
reached with the American people, def
mite action cannot longer be postponed.
Before the end of the present week con
gress will probably be thoroughly stirred
up over one or all of the war like resolu-
tions now before it, but the sound sense
of the people will prevent any costly
mistake being made.

SOME people will never see and will
never learn. 1t is a fact, that under
the Mckinley tariff law the foreign
trade of this country was greater than
ever before. 1t declined at once as
soon as the Wilson-G free trade
tariff law became effective. Now it has
returned to the standard attained un-
der the Mckinley administration and Is
increasing right along under the Ding
ley tariff law. These are facts. And
yet there are people, who repeat the
parrot cry, that protection builds a
Chinese wall around this country and
shuts out foreign trade.
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-03-30

The free traders and Democratic
statesmen may theorize all they please
over the effects OF the Ding,ey tariff law
and keep on damning a protective tariff,
but facts are stronger than words, theo-
rles and impracticable free trade no
tions. And the facts are that Ameri-
can merchants and manufacturers are
steadily pushing out into the foreign
markets, which have heretofore been
largely controlled by England. Ten
years ago British trade in the South
American states exceeded that Of this
country in the same markets 40 per
cent. Now the excess has been re-
duced 81 per cent. Americans need but
one thing to place the percentage the
other way, and that is the advantage
that might be gained by carrying their
own freight in American vessels.

The Speakers Power.

In one of the leading magazines for
the month Of April appears an article
on the Power of the Speaker OF the
House of Representatives" which COM
ing at the time it does, Is entitled to
more than passing notice. The writer
takes the broad stand that the speak.
er's ''ofice was originally designed to
afford a protection for the rights OF each
individual legislator as against the in
cursions of boorish, inconsiderate or un-
fair associates. But the speaker has
gradually taken into his hands more
and more power, until it is now serious
ly questioned what relation the present
house bears to a truly representative
body"
1t has always been the fond idea Of
the American people that the house Of
representatives was the one legislative
body wherein the masses were sure Of
representation, and that should that
branch of congress make mistakes, the
senate stood as a guard against the en-
actment Of harmful laws. 1t must be
confessed that in recent years this idea
has received some seriously disenchant-
ing knocks. The present speaker has
been accredited with being something Of
an autocrat, and for the reason that he
has corrected many abuses which former
ly prevailed and facilitated the transac-
ton Of business, the Republicans are
proud OF him. But the author OF the article
mentioned points out some very serious
results which are likely to follow the
precedent established by Mr.. Reed In
the following words: but Mr.. Reed
must bear in mind that should his sue
cessor be the tool Of a corrupt ring, this
line Of action now tolerated out OF de-
ference to the man, might easily become
the instrument OF the overthrow Of re-
publican institutions"

upright, and above corrupting infu-
