To the Credit Of New Mexico.

The fact that u number of men ac-
cuscd of White-cap outrages- tarring
and feathering and whipping a man who
taught religious doctrines of which they
did not approve-have been convicted in
a New Mexico court is greatly to the
credit of that territory. says the Denver
Republican.
White-capism is a species OF crime
which should find no liberation in any
part Of the far west. 1t should be made
known that methods like these for ex-
pressing disapproval of the actsor teach
ings of others can find no favor any
where west of the Missouri river. Let
it suffice for tho whole country that such
crimes are committed in Ohio and In
diana. In the far west there should be
the utmost federation Of religious opin-
ion, and, above all, men should be taught
that to resort to ku-klux methods to re-
dress their real or fancied grievances is
one of the basest and most ignoble crimes
that they can commit.
There is special reason for a declara-
ton of this kind in New Mexico, because,
unfortunately, in that territory there
has been a disposition to resort to secret
means to coerce men who happen not to
agree with the members of a d~ark-lantern
organization. 1t appears, however, that
this was rather more noticeable among
Mexicans than among Americans until
this outrage was committed, for which
the defendants referred to have been
found guilty.
The most effectual way to suppress
crimes of this kind is by furnishing them.
Punishment in such cases shows that
the veil of secrecy will afford no protec-
ton. Let this once be clearly estab.
lished and White-cap organizations will
disband. Men who join such organiza-
tions do so because they believe that
they will be protected by the secrecy OF
their operations. Let them once see
that this is an error, and they will refuse
to participate in such outrages upon the
rights of their neighbors. But, on the
other hand. let them become convinced
that they can commit crimes of this kind
and still escape, and they will resort tt
this method to wreak their private re
venge upon men whom they would feal
to face in the open.

UNDER the Mckinley tariff nearly so
per cent of the wooden fabrics worn and
used in the United States were woven in
this country. The Wilson bill material
ly decreased this percentage and in
creased the amount of foreign wooden
goods consumed here, and this falling
off of the demand for domestic wool and
the removal of the duty on foreign wool
caused a tremendous loss to the growers
of wool in this country. The Dingley
tariff restored the duty on wool and in
creased the percentage of WOODEN goods
made and consumed in this country.
The wooden mills of this country are do
ing well, and this means the steady en-
ployment of American labor at good
wages. The Dingley tariff is proving OF
vast benefit to the country at large and
all its friends claimed for it.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Las
Vegas Optic, advances the query in the
case of the citation of Mr.. Thomas j.
Bull, a member of the board of regents
of the Agricultural college at Las Cru
ces, to appear-before the executive and
answer to certain charges made against
him, whether the governors action is
for the good of the territory or simply
for political persecution. The Optic
evidently imagines, that this territory
Is still cursed with a Democratic admin
~istration under which territorial and
county officials We're removed by the
executive without cause and without
warrant in law and simply to help the
Democratic party and to aid the aims
and purposes of Democratic candidates
for Office and Democratic officials. But
a change for the better, indeed a great
change for the better, has come over
the territory under the present admins
tration and the paper can rest content
and assured, that the action of Gov
ernor Otero in this Ease was taken un-
der the law, that he will act in strict
: accordance with the law, that Mr.. Bull
will be accorded a fair and impartial
hearing, and that Governor Otero's
action, whatever it may be, will be
within the law and for what he con-
siders to be the best interests of the
territOry.

And the Odd Scene Naturally Followed

l was driving along a lonely road in
southwest Texas one day when / came
upon a rather remarkable scene. A lot Of
people rugged out in their Sunday clothes
were gathered in an open field and seemed
to be holding some kind of ceremony, APP
parently of n religious nature. One man,
undoubtedly a country preacher, Judging
by his garb and solemn appearance, stood
upon a stump and was just concluding all
exhorration of some kind. Two or three
women were crying, and the men looked
serious and awkward.
At first I thought l had come upon an
open air meeting of some religious denom-
nation, but I abandoned this opinion
when l saw two men drive forth a couple
Of mule teams hitched to ponderous har-
rows and begin to harrow the soil over a
large space of ground in front Of the con-
gregation. While they were doing this the
crowd sang a hymn.
When l drove slowly down the road
and saw a man sitting on the fence gazing
at the scene, ! stopped and asked him what
it all meant. He took a straw out Of his
mouth and pointed with it toward a pile
of white looking rocks in the center of the
field.
"Right by them thar rocks, pardner, "
he said, sis u new well. The Lord seest
OF us, pardner, in a well same as out O.
hit"
Certainly, l said.
"A jack rabbit, pardner, Is awful swift;
q shot from o IA hurries along like, but
the hand O. sudden death is swifter."
YES" l said. "Has some II been
killed. I don't see any corpse. What are
those people doingp'
"There are no corpus, pardner. Yer
may spy the har' at play, the fawn upon
the green, but the corpus O. Jim Stollinger
won't never more be seen. Gaze, pardner,
upon the solemn scene IN say II yer kin

II don't know the gentleman" l said.
II don't know whether I see him or not"
"'Not' air correct. Ak o. the wild waves

A Question Also Of Moment in New Mexico

In his recent speech before the Union
League club, of New York, ex-President
Harrison handled the question of the
evasion of taxes and non-payment OF
taxes in a mastery and thorough man
ner. 1t is we'll known that the ex-presi-
dent is one of the best public speakers
In the country and in his address ''On
the Obligations Of Wealth." then de-
livered, he came up fully to all expecta-
tions.
With great dignity, force and clear
ness he showed up the evils of unjust
and unequal taxation. There was no
quibbling and no ranting in his address.
In plain and simple, yet most eloquent
language, he pointed out that 1t Is the
bounden and u%nequivocal duty of every
citizen to pay taxes for the support Of
the government in It's various forms, and
he declared. that the man who evaded
the payment of just taxes, as levied by
the law, was u publicenemy and not an
honest man. He called a spade a spade,
and said that the man who hides his
property from taxation and the assessor
was no more and no less q %defaulter,
and in the same category as the man
who put his property out of his hands to
escape the payment OF just debts. He
insisted, that IT was every citizens duty
to see that his nelghbor paid taxes, u.s.
ing the following very plain and concise
language: II know that men hesitate
to call q neighbor to judgment in this
matter. We have too much treated the
matter of o mans tax return as q per-
sonal matter. We have pnt his transac-

Fur yokes are a feature of many outside
garments, fur collars being, of COURSE, an
accompaniment. Very thick boas, finished
with groups of tails in front, are much
worn, as are ostrich plume boas also.
Fur being exceedingly fashionable, it is
to be found in every quality and at all
prices. Cheap fur is always a poor invest
ment, for it is usually doctored with dyes
and chemicals to such an extent that it
has no durability. All varieties of fur are
worn, from golden sable to disguised cat
skin. Blue fox--which is peculiarly try
ing to most compilations in point Of color
is favored, and Is very beautiful, either
in the form of detached boas and pelerines
or as a trimming for dark, short pile furs.
When fur Is used for the decoration Of
gowns, it is nearly always employed in
narrow bands, being placed at the edge Of
the skirt, basque, collar, cuffs and reyers.
