AN EMERGENCY FUND.

The necessities of the suffering poor of
this city, in view Of the current conditions.
which are more severe than any preceding
since the Weather Bureau was estsb ished,
appeal urgently TO the charity of the pub
lie. If Washington is not to be shamed be-
fore the world by large mortality due 10
done. and done instantly, TO secure infor-
nation concerning cases Of destitut'1n and
10 furnish relief without a moments delay.
This is work which can best be accom-
plished through the police force. 1t is
practically impossible for a psrson or fam
lily in any part of the city to be in utter
danger of destruction from want of food.
fuel, or raiment without some hint OF the
fact coming TO the ears of the policeman
on the beat. We are satisfied that with the
least encouragement 10 believe that cases
of destitution when reported would be
promptly relieved, the police would take
extraordinary pains in such circumstances
as now obtain 10 secure facts and make
immediate reports. The Times, during the
past weeks, has been happily able to reach
the knowledge that our hard worked police
officers are heartily in sympathy with
every effort to relieve the distress thai is
more apparent 10 them than to any other
class or organization in the community.
We are in position 10 say for them that
the sum of the charity dispensed individ
ually out of their meager earnings would
surprise the public if it could be known.
The police, then, are the people who most
directly, readily. and efficiently can rsach
the sufferers OF the hour, and we believe
that their aid, which we know would be
freely and Loyalty at the disposition Of our
citizens is the thing to invoke in this
emergency.
i is an emergency, and it demands an
Emergency Fund. That being true, The
Times calls upon each and all OF its read
ers who have means to dispense in charity
to send their subscriptions to The Times
Office, the same to be Acknowledged in The
columns OF this paper, to be turned over,
as fast as received, to Major Richard syl.
vester, Superintendent of Police, and to b.

among the poor under his direction.

his return home from visit to the
State prison at Thomaston While
there he saw Ashford Sampson, the
young man who was pardoned by the

says that he intends 70 redeem himself

to suffer on his account will be made

Back to Augusta to work.
Another person whom Mr.. Mayo saw

prison for the past i3 years. He is eX-

Of this that he paid the attorneys who

that he has a chance to live an honest

Prior to county organization the section nw embraced within the Union coun-
ty lines "a an important Democratic factor in the politics of Cofax county and
after county organization invariably gave strong Democratic majprites. Mr.
Gnyers work with the newspaper gradually lessened the majority and in 1898
turned the county over to the Republican party. His fight vas made principally
against the corrupt methods formerly pHcMced by Union county officials and their
records we're fully shown to the public. During his career as lawyer no client
of his has been sent to the penientary.
Relative tot the needs of his section in the matter of legislation Mr.. Guyer said
to The New Mexican Representatives: 1.-The people of my section ire especially
favorable to legislation in favor of the public schools, and or county is in bad
condition along those lines. Because OF being sparsely settled, under the present
system OF taxation, TIT school districts. outside of those traversed by the railway,

standard of teachers in New Mexico and compel strict adherence etc the school

"Our people area also deeply interested in some measur which will tend to en-
largng the powers of the executive of the territory so that he cal remove county
officials who arederelect in their duties.
The financial condition of Union county at present is about as bad as it can
be. The treasury is empty, Determinations have been made by the boards of
county commissioners and Illegal asessmen of taxes has delayed the collection of
the legitimate revenues OF the county. but the political situation of the past does
not necessarily reflect {" the general conditions Of the county As to agriculture.
stock raising and personal finance, the people arr quite prosperous and the num-
bers of live stock of all descriptions are rapidly increasing. With a proper assess
of county commissioners, there is II o reason why, within the next two years.
Union county should not again be placed upon a sound footing. Every one there
has confidence in The present board of county commissioners"
Mr. Guyers career in the house has been IN eventful one and himself and
constituents arep ardoned fer taking pride in his efforts. His friends term him
THE Napoleon of the house" and his efforts a organization against measures

Recent advices from Australia and
the islands near that continent are to
the effect that IA terrible drouth has pre-
vailed in that part of the world for
months and cattle and sheep are dying
from starvation by the thousands. For
three years past disasters from a lack of
sufficient rains have followed one upon
the other so fast that the situation is
becoming serious. Since 1896 millions
of sheep have died, great farming sec
tions have become desert lands. and now
the cattle interests have begun tosutfer.
Australia, in the past, has been de-
| scribed as the land of floods and the
island of drouths, and it seems to have

Can it be that the wealth, resources
and power of the United States are the
things which some of the European ma
tlons consider formidable enough to pre-
vent a declaration of war against this
government? Judging from the resist.
ance made by Aguinaldo to American
occupation, it is but natural to think
that some nation is furnishing him
means to carry on his fighting for the
purpose of eventually acquiring some
rights in the archipelago. Trade jeal-
ousics are sufficient to induce such a sit
uation, and the prestige the United
States is gaining in the eastern markets
as a manufacturing and producing coun-
try is causing uneasiness on the part of
those countries which have heretofore
looked upon the trade in the Orient as
their own.
