GENTLEMEN:
In assuming the duties OF the Office
Of mayor Of the city OF Mtt}e!Falls 1
desire at the outset to assure you Of
my hearty cooperation in every
movement which will tend in any
way to further the interests of the
city. Its prosperity and welfare de-
pend to a very great extent upon
a proper administration of Its affairs
and the enforcement of the laws, and
upon us as servants and representa-
tives OF the people the responsibility
rests.
Harmony is essential to success in
any undertaking and united eff ort Ia
required to accomplish those results
which will hest promote the city's
welfare.
Every effort possible should be
made to lessen the burden OF taxa
tion and to this end the expenses of
the city should he reduced wherever
possible without impairlng the city's
interests.
While good streets and sidewalks
are desirable I believe the am cunt Of
money expended thereon during the
past year has been too large and I
would advise that until the financial
condition Of the city has improved
the street expenses be kept as low as
possible. 1t Ia of course absolutely
necessary that repairs and improve
ments be made and that the streets
and sidewalks be maintained In
pr oper condition, but there is a
chance for economy in this direction
and the money expended should be
In places where it ia necessary and
where 1T will do the greastest good
to the greatest number of our peo-
pie
The citizens of Little Falls have
several times indicated a desire for
municipal ownership of light and
water plants and I stand ready to as
sfst in all possible ways to accomplish
this object which should be done
economically and with justice to all
parties concerned; it is a matter OF
great Importance and should receive
the most careful and deliberate at
tention.
In my judgment three men will be
a sufficient police force and I would
recommend that the chief receive
$500 and the patrolmen $4,000 per
month but these are matters which
are left wholly with you and your
action therein will be entirely Salts
factory so far as am concerned.
l shall at all times be glad to give
my time and attention to matters
Of public interest.

4 TRIP TO Los LUNAS.
Taken By Charles 7. Crooks From Santa Fe
Tn 1894.

In 1000,
From the New Mexican, Oct. 6, 1861
Editors New Mexican.
Stecke's Ranch, N. M, October 3, 1866.
According to promise, l send you a
few items of my trip to Los Lunas and
return, via the placer mines.
The road to Algodones is a burning
disgrace to the territory. Passing, as it
does, through an elegant country and
being the shortest, it ought to be the
best road, whereas it is the worst. The
Pueblos are joyous over h excellent
crops of this season, and 1 heard of but
few complaints, they being from those
Directing to the sale of their property.
On our arrival at Albuquerque we
were agreeably surprised at the bust
nesslike appearance of the place and
the hospitality of it's citizens. To DR..
Strachan and Colonel Pratt, United
States marshal, we are indebted to cour-
tesies we hope to yet reciprocate. Los
Lunas is without exception a gem of
a place-for a hermit.
On our return we took the road via
the placer mines. BY so doing we saw
sights that would do the heart of an old
Californian good to vista" Through
the courtesy of Mr.. Cooley we were
shown over the premises of the grant
purchased from Don Serafin Ramirez,
on which are the celebrated placers
from which since ITO gold has been ia
ken, millions alone speaking the
amount, and we hesitate not to say that
the mines are not yet fairly prospect
ed" to a nothing of being "devel-
oped."
The people of the east have no con-
ception of the richness of the mines
here, and we doubt not that ere the
three years pass New Mexico will
have a reputation far in advance of
Colorado and commensurate with it's
abilities. DIR. Stecke's mine is the rich
est in the country yet developed. The
shaft, 14O feet deep, is a sight in itself.
The richness of the quartz has never
been excelled and rarely equaled. The
prospects of the company working are
hattering, and through the well-directed
energies of DR.. Steck, the superintend-
ent, the work of procuring the quartz
and stamping the same is carried on at
a rate that cannot fail to be advanta-
geous to the company. All the company
needs is a sufficient fund to develop the
mines already opened, in several in
stances, to the depth of 70 feet, and in
one instance lao feet.
The country passed yer OF the trip
is in many places admirably adapted to
the raising of vegetables and grain, and
with proper acequias an immense
amount of land now unworked can be
brought into profitable cultivation.
Our greatest surprise was that the
road to Albuquerque via the placers
had not been made the main highway,
as by %eXpending a few hundred dollars
the road could be made equal to the best
in the states.
In II next we will give you the re-
suits of our assay

THE HAWAIIAN BILL.
Opposition to n Delegate From the
Island Taking shape.

The same influences that have caused
the Republicans to make their sudden
change Of front on the Porto Rican tariff
have now commenced a fight on the pro-
vision in the Hawaiian bill for a delegate
in Congress from those islands. The
House Committee on Territories had
meeting yesterday, at which Chairman
Knox announced that the ultra prOtec
tiOn element in Congress wanted Hawaii
denied representation. He said he had
letter from a Senator in which an argu-
ment against a delegate was made, and
in which the committee was also requested
to amend the Hawaiian bill with d declara-
tiOn that il was not the intention TO make
Hawaii a State Of the Union.
Mr. Hill OF Connecticut was understood
to stand ready to oppose In the House the
section Of the bill giving Hawaii represen-
tation
The committee. after an exchange OF
views. put the matter TO a vote and agreed
unanimously to stand in favor of a dele
gate and 20 make no declaration as to
what shall become Of Hawaii in the future.
Such a declaration was pronounced futile.
The committee heard Secretary Gage
and the Director of the Mint on the bill
OF Representative Knox to take up the
Hawaiian silver circulation There is about
81 600 900 in coin and 81 500 in silver Ger
tifcates outstanding. The coins were
minted in the United States. and are
practically the same as our coins, except
in the imprint. The certificates are issued
on coin held by Hawaii. The Treasury
officials approved the bill. and the com
mittee directed its favorable report.

PROTECTION FOR BANKS.
Favorable Report ON n Bill Restrict
ing Loans and OVcrdrafts.

Chairman Brosius. Of the House Commit
tee on Banking and Currency, yesterday
submitted the report on the bill to give
greater safety to national banks by re-
strieting the making Of loans and over
drafts to bank officers The report follows.
This bill proposes the only possible rem
edy for an evil Of long standing in our
banking system an evil which is largely
responsible for the chief blemish upon an
otherwise most admirable system.
From the establishment Of the national
banking system in 1860 to October 81. 1886
$50 national bank failed. The failure in
The case Of ifty-twO Of these banks. as re-
ported was caused in part at least by eN-
Cessive loans to officers and directors while
niuety-three Of them we're wrecked by the
defalcation Of officers and fraudulent man
agement-a total in the two classes of 1ij
or about a per cent Of the total.
The present comptroller recommends leg
islation prohibiting loans TO officers and
employees Of banks. except upon applica-
tion to and approval by the board Of di-
rcctOrs. and he adds such prohibition
should be made to include directors.
These recommendation from the high
est official sources leave nothing TO be
said to convince your committee OF the
Necessity OF tut bTOlO0tu ltElSldtlDn. lue
chief objection urged to this measure is
that capable men will not serve as officers
and directors if they are placed under the
restriction which it imposes.
In answer to this sugges tiOn il may be
said that if a man wishes to become an
officer or director OF a bank for the pur-
pose of becoming a borrower he would not
be the most suitable person to become
trustee of the stockholders and depositors
Of the institution. This bill does not pro-
pose to deprive officers and directors OF
proper accommodations at the bank. Le-
gitimate loans on proper security can be
obtained by them. and the restrictions i'm
posed are only such as will tend to prevent
insecure and improper loans without hin
derng secure and proper ones. NOg does
the measure reflect upon the character 1r
integrity OF bankers. As a class they are
among our most reputable and enterprisins
citizens. Nor does = expose their relations
to the bank to he public eye, for the bill
does not permit the reports Of the bank to
the Comptroller, which reveal the amount
Of loans made to officers and directors, to
be published in a newspaper as required in
the case Of reports on the general cundi-
ton of the banks. The trifling ineOnve-
uieucc to which officers and directors may
be subjugated by the operation OF the
measure is not to be weighed against its
manifest usefulness to banks and tho pub
lie. by safeguarding the interests of stock
holders and depOsitors.'

into service for the war with Spain II It
were LETT to him to settle. Mr. Cox said
he would not spend 8 cents to shoot the
people on those islands. In the war with
spain they were our friends and he hoped
10 be able some day to put the whole story
OF the rebellion into the Record" He
was opposed to a standing army. Congress
had gone into the war with Spain by n
unanimous vote when the annual expendi-
lures Tor the military establishment were
twenty-four millions. The pending hill
carried total of one hundred and twelve
millions. and he ventured the opinion that
no man on the floor Of the House would
live to see the Army again reduced to a
peace basis
Mr.. Atwater. of North Carolina. reiter-
ated the Oft-expressed fear of standing
army, demanded that unnecessary war ex-
penses be reduced and declared that il the
President would make known to the Fill
pinos the intention OF the United States
not to hold their lands as a possession,
there would not be an insurrectionist in
the islands in three months.
Mr.. briggs. Of New York, said he did not
hold the fear OF q standing army that he
had heard expressed by his political col
leagues. In the progress Of affairs he
deemed an increase OF the Army necessary.
tie reviewed the history OF standing
armies beginning with Charles VII Of
France. who organized the first regular
standing army in 144J. But there was no
necessity for the increase Of the present
force of the Army if the reports in certain
Republican papers inspired by the Ad-
ministration were true. that a state Of war
does not exist in the Philippines. He
eulogized the citizen soldiery, and said that

basis Of defence was the moment We had
to fea- the invasion OF a foreign foe.
Mr.. Meyer OF Louisiana spoke on the
question OF expansion, opposing it. He said
that if the Philippines were retained in
the possession Of the United States there
should be protection of the people Of this
country against the productions Of the ISL
ands. Without concluding his remarks. Mr..
Meyer yielded the floor The committee
rose and at 5:05 o'clock the House adjourn
