He Delivers An Address Before

Conference.
TELLS HOW TO KILL THEM
He Would Limit Their Ability To
Do Business In the
States.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-The civic fedora
tion trust conference was addressed to-
day by Col. w. J. Bryan. The hall was
packed in anticipation of his reply 10
W. Bourke Cochran on the trust ques
tion. Bryan said:
"a monopoly in private hands is inde-
fensible and intolerable. ! do not be-
lieve it is safe for society to permit any
man or group Of men to monopollze
any article of merchandise or any
branch of business. Defense of monopoly
Is always placed on the ground that if
you will allow people to control the
market and fix the price they will lie
good to people who will purchase of
them. l deny that under monopoly the
price is reduced, objections to monop-
oily from other standpoints far out.
weigh the financial advantage that the
trust would bring"
One method for annihilation of
trusts has occurred to me. 1t is this;
That congress should pass law pro-
viding tn tano corporation organized
in any state could do business outside
of the state in which 1t is organized
until it receives from some power
created by congress license author
izing it to do business outside of it's
own state. (Applause.) Now, if
corporation must come to the body
created by congress to secure per-
mission to do bushes of the state, then
that license can be granted upon con-
dition which will, in first place,
prevent watering of stock; in the second
place, prevent monopoly in any branch
of business; and third, provide for pub
licity as to all transactions and busi-
ness of the corp oration.
"If this unconstitutional and so de-
clared by the supreme court l am in
favor of an amendment to the consti-
tuition thar will give congress powerto
destroy every trust in the country
Bryan went on to argue In favor of
more equal distribution Of the burdens
of taxation.
I At a meeting of the resolutions com
mittee today it was decided that no res
olutions should be adopted by the con-
ference.

AWelcome Exhibition.

The announcement that Prof. Gen
try's famous dog and pony show is soon
to exhibit in this city has leC tonumer-
GUS inquiries about the details, such as
the location of the grounds and prices
of admission. The character of the
show is so well known that the people
will regard the information as news,
and consequently we have made in-
quiries with the following result: The
show, which it is needless 10 mention is
the best one of its kind In the world,
will exhibit under their own water
proof tent, which will be located at the
corner of Eleventh street and Lincoln
avenue, in the afternoon at 3 and night
at s. The prices of admission are
Children, rs cents; adults, so cents.
When the magnitude and artistic worth
of the show is taken into consideration
1t will easily be seen that the prices of
admission are decidedly reasonable.

Scarcity of Teachers.

County School Superintendent Saul
Psdilla Of Mora county,who is stopping
for few days in Las Vegas, states that
there is a scarcity of good teachers in
his jurisdiction and that some most ex-
cellent positions are open to competent
persons making application for the
same.
Mr.. Padilla states that at the recent
examinations. only thirteen personc Sc
cured certificates. The result is that
there are not enough Instructors to go
around.
School matters in Mora county are,
on the whole. moving along very nicely
Terms of school at Wagon Mound and
Mora began on the llth inst. and the
various outlying schools will commence
sessions at succeeding dates. At Wagon
Mound. bonds to the amount of $4,000
have been sold and the proceeds will be
devoted to the erection Of new school
building. Two teachers are employed
in this district and patrons generally
are elated over the excellent prospects,
for the coming year.

Hon. Pedro Sanchez is Chosen for New
Mexico.


Some weeks ago It was ANNOUNCED
from Washington that Colorcl ].
Frank Chaves of Valencia county.
had been agreed upon for appoint
ment as supervisor of the census for
the district of New Mexico. However,
the appointment hung FIRE and yester-
days dispatches stated that the pres
ident had signed the commission of
Hon. Pedro Sanches of Taos county,
for this office, says the New Mexican.
Mr.. Sanches was the census super
visor for New Mexico in 1890, and per-
formed the duties of the Office credit
ably and efficiently. His record as a
citizen and legislator is excellent;
he his been in public life in northern
New Mexico for forty years, and filled
many positions of trust and confidence.
HeQ served during the war of the re-
belion as am officer, has performed
duty in several county positions, and
represented his county and district
for a half dozen terms in the terri
torial assembly.
In commenting; ON the appointment

spokesman, says: Colonel Chaves'
many friends regret that he did not
receive the appointment but as the
powers that sbe decided otherwise,
Mrs. Sanches' appointment is very sat.

States and the territory were sure OF

"The powers that be" in this In
stance 1t is said happened to be the
governor himself, and the above hon
eyed comment will be like so much
wormwood to Mr.. Chaves who happens
to know the why and wherefore of his
falling to secure the appointment.

THE COUNTY DEBTS.
Complete Statistics of Indebtedness and
Assessed Valuation.
Santa Fe New Msxican.l

santa re New Msxlcan.I
After much labor and after much
urging of county officials, Governor
Otero has at last succeeded in procur
ing correct data of tile indebtedness
OF the several countias in this terri
tory. This data is very valuable. and
the New Mexican pub ishes the same
herewith in addition to giving also the
assessed valuation vi the territory
for the year 1898
The new county of Otero. at this
date, has no Indebtedness. II was
organized on Apri. last. and therefore
| its assessment of taxable property
cannot be given for 1898. The assessed
valuation Of the county for 1889 is
$685., 3,S41.24. The new county of Nc
Kinley will be organized July /, 1900.
This. table will be included in the
governors report to the secretary of
the interior for the present year, de-
falling the conditions, resources, ad-
vancement, progress, ETC., of the terri
tory. *
The table is highly interesting. 1t
is believed that under the Duncan
revenue law, the taxable property of
the territory for the present year
1899-will be larger than it was in
1898, although in some of the counties
the assessment has been reduced, as
in Santa Fe, San Miguel and one or
two others, but it has been augment
ed by very nice figures in several other
counties.
AS will be seen by this table, the
county of Santa Fe is in very bad
shape, and 1t behooves the county
authorities and the property owners
and taxpayers to act promptly and
quickly toward bringing about an ad-
justment and reduction of the vast
debt now crushing it.
