TIE POOR MANS home.
New Mexico Has Few Rented Houses and
No Poor Farms.

The following appeared in the New
York Journal:
Editor Evening Journal: Dear Sir
Your issue of December l contains an
interesting suggestion as to the eXemp-
ton of the homes of the poor from tax
alton.
1t may interest you to know that
practically exactly that system exists
in New Mexico to-day. The modest
home of the DOR has never been taxed,
and thus is secure from all danger Of
loss through misfortune. The wording
of the present statute is as follows:
There shall be exempt from taxation
a family homestead, actually owned, oc-
cupied and used as such by the head of
the family residing in this territory, to
the amount in value of $780,"
The result of this is that in New Mex
leo the percentage of persons owning
their own homes is greater than any
where else in the United States. In fact.
outside of the new towns along the
railroads, such a thing Is a rented
house is altogether Unknown. Every
family has it's little house, usually con.
nected with a small strip of land, which
all the members unite in cultivating,
and which supplies a great part of the
family subsistence. Furthermore, there
is not a poor house in New Mexico, nor
amy need of one-a condition which I
attribute largely to the fact that every
family has a permanent home.
In New Mexico We try to have every
class Of property pay its equal share;
but in the interest of good citizenship
we secure to every family, however
poor, a shelter and a home, safe from
the tax collector as from the sheriff on
execution. l.. BRADFORD PRINCE,
President Bureau of immigration of the
Territory of New Mexico, Santa Fe,

fund is to complete the payments on the
Lawton farm in California. Subscrip-
tons are being made generously in
many parts Of the country where Gen.
eral Lawton and his family were not
personally known. 1t is we'll for the
people to express in this their
appreciation of so brave a. military lead
er, whose efforts did so much to bring
peace and safety in the southwest, who
fought to maintain the Union and died
in the service of his country. New Mex
leo has not been tardy in contributing of
her people to the wars Of the country.

The newspapers that oppose the re-
lease of Cuba by this government make
appraisers of the custom house at Ha-
vana. 1t was not to be expected that
Cubans would fail to follow in the foot
steps Of the Spanish officials in such
matters. But when the Cuban people
have a government it will certainly be
as eager to punish the pilferers from it's
treasury as the government Of any 9TH
er country. The Cubans knew the Span
ish officials were corrupt, but were
powerless to cause punishment. With
a home government this will not be so.

PRESS COMMENT.
INVESTIGATING STATEHOOD.
(Rocky Mountain News.)

(ROcky Mountain NeWS.)
A congressional delegation, composed
principally Of members Of the two COM
mittees on territories, is to pay a visit
to New Mexico and Arizona during the
holiday recess, to make personal inves-
tigation as to the fitness Of these two
territories for statehood. 1t is pre-
sumed that the trip will be made at gov
eminent expense. So far as the News
a recollect, this is the first investiga-
ton Of this nature that was ever under
taken by a congressional committee. In
recent times, at least, there has been
nothing like it. Being SO unusual, we
are not prepared to say that 1t may not
result in good. The average senator and
representative in congress is always in
need Of more information about the
Transmissouri west, and it may be
proper-a matter Of intelligent econo-
my, in fact-to permit them to obtain 1t
at public expense. II the trip shall re-
suit in the prompt admission of these
two territories as states it will be worth
many times its cost.

The government has decided that no
more Indians will be permitted to go
with shows for tours of the country,
because it is desired to woo the red man
from his love of display and the YEAR
ing of his tribal garb, while the atten-
ton he attracts in his native costume
and the money he can thus earn have a
tendency to make him remain an Indian
and encourage his cousins and his
brothers to stick to buckskin and blan-

The railway companies with lines

Texas, New Mexico and Southern Ari-
iona hauled In the year ending with
last November 1853, 400 head Of cattle
eastward and northward. The shipping
books show this number of cattle han
died. If the cattle averaged in value
SIS per head, the price realized was $19,-
0S5, 900. A large portion of this remained
in the hands Of the cattle growers,
which accounts for much of the pros
perity prevailing in the cattle country.

The Beers held a thanksgiving

The Beers held a thanksgiving service
a day or two ago, presumably for the
victories achieved over their enemies,
though they may have been moved to
this as an expression of gratitude for
the resolutions expressed by the city
council of Denver, for the Beers, after
that body figured out that the Dutch
held winning cards and a stand-in with
the German vote in the mountain city
might be gained as to the next munic-
ipal election if sympathy were shown
for their Dutch cousins in Africa.

Politically, New Mexico and Oklaho-
ma would be Republican states, and
Arizona would probably be Democratic,
New Mexico would be reliably Repub-
lican. The people of this territory have
never favored the free coinage of silver,
and at the last election a Republican
delegate was elected on that issue, and
that of the protection of home indus
tries by over 1000 majority. The native
people of New Mexico have long been
familiar with the debased silver money
of he republic of Mexico, and know
that it does not hurt the rich, II that
it is grinding on the poor.
