orsao COUNTY VALUES.

The maid of honor editor of the
alleged daily around the corner is
persistent calamity howler about
the tax burdens that oppress the
people OF Otero county. He
thrusts his trenchant editorial pen
into the mists OF county affairs and
still insists there is no evidence OF
economy in the administration OF
affairs by the present county Off
cials. The fact nevertheless re-
mains that the present administra-
ton has saved the county nearly
ST. per month and it cannot be
successfully refuted.
We suppose the maid OF honor
editor will endeavor to hold the
county officials responsible for the
increase in the property valuations
of Otero county recently made by
the state board OF equalization.
The state board is a democratic or
ganization OF which our fusion
governor, Charles S. Thomas, is
chairman. The state board knows
nothing Of conditions or values in
Otero county, but in order to save
the state democratic administra-
tion from a total eclipse of failure
and incompetence, the board sent
a communication to the county
commissioned last week notifying
them of an increase in the real and
personal property valuations OF
this county and every other county
in the state. II is as follows:
"In the work of adjusting the
valuation of real and personal
9property in accordance with the
provision Of an act Of the Twelfth
general assembly. the board has
made the following changes in the
valuation Of real and personal
propsrty d Otero county to-wit:
The valuation Of horses is in-
cssased 81 per cent, sheep 4sH,

1t is rumored that the democrats
want the Photograph of rooster
placed after the names OF their
candidates instead OF the party
designation. 1t is claimed that
some electors have become SO ac-
customed to voting for the rooster
that they would be unable to dis
tinguish the democratic candidates

thousand battlefields had, il was thought,
established this principle forever.
Without usurping to himself the pow
ers of the two coordinate branches of
the government-the legislative and jul
dicial powers-the Federal Executive
cannot do what in these premises he
has done. If certain citizens of Georgia
and Florida have broken the law, let
the law deal with them. If it cannot,
if justice miscarries, what of that! jus
tice is very much given to miscarriage
if my memory serves. If extra legal
steps are to be taken at this failure of
law why not take them at every failure
of law? 1t is a dangerous precedent.
Again if the guardian of the law break
the law can others be expected to keep
it?
If every man, woman and child that
get their mail at Lake City or at
the Florida postoffice, whose name L
do not recollect, were guilty of assault
ing the postmaster, if one and all after
wards banded together to balk the exc
cution of law for their punishment, there
are no more grounds for extra legal
steps than when any other crime named
in the statute book is committed.
But no one would contend that even

Manifested by it's Mode of Furnishing
the Attack on Negro Postmasters at

TO the Editor: No acts of the pres
ent administration have more fully char
acterized its arbitrary spirit than the
mode adopted of Furnishing the attacks
on negro postmasters at the South.
When a negro postmaster-or rather a
postmaster at the South lis molested,
for | have heard of this mode of pun
ishment or reprisal nowhere else-the
community in which it occurs is at once
deprived of all postal facilities As
far as the power of the President goes
it is as completely isolated as If an
impossible wall encircled it.
The economy of modern life Is such
that than this no greater blow can be
struck at the welfare of any community.
Than the opportunity of communicating
with the world &C large there is no
right more essential to the moral and
material welfare of people.
The fundamental principle enunciated
by Magma Charter, but far older-the
principle on which hang all Anglo-Saxon
law and Anglo-Saxon liberty is: THAT
no freeman shah be taken or Imprisoned,

SPINACH IN SPRING..
Physicians and Chemists Recommend
1t for s.That Tired

We are familiar with that tired feel

buying bottles and bottles of this cure
or that cure for WEAKNESS may obtain the
same results by a liberal use of the COM
mon, everyday spinach. The French call
this homely vegetable the scavenger of the
stomach. and now our own medical men
are awakening to the wonderful medicinal
properties of spinach. 1t contains salts of
potassium, iron and other things which
conduce to n good complexion. long life
and a cheerful disposition.
The man with n diSordered liver and the
woman with a bad complexion should con-
tract the spinach habit and these things
will he rectified. The chemist. Bingo, says
tina this article of food contains more iron
10 the square inch than the most re-
ferruginous remedies"
So convinced has the medical profession
become OF the value of the once despised
spinach that, according to the Sanitary
lent in several new and salable tonica."
The iron in spinach is easily assimilated
and the vegetable Is easily digested. The
fact hat spinach has such a remarkable
effect upon the complexion will recon-
mend 1t to the girls. and Its beneficial
effects on the liver will recommend it
to the men. Nothing is so good as a
hearty breakfast of spinach if the system
is thoroughly. out Of order.
In short. the virtues of the vegetable are
so numerous that it would take a long

reached by the oatmeal habit We shai

that he had. He Was then sent to the
Mound City house and a physician called
