 I second the motion of Taxpayer in last weeks BEE. think it high time the taxpayers got their eyes open and put some one in who would give the town 8 little benefit of their money. called taxpayers notice to this, last fall, but no one seemed to have interest enough in the matter to put his paddle in and help stir the matter up and made up my mind that every body seemed to be satisf fled and my efforts were like casting pearls before swine. It is disgrace to the town to have such wretched roads, and especially over the main road that has to be travelled so much every day ss the road from Newtown Street through Sandy Hook to the New England Depot, and the coal ashes put on the road are a nuisance to say the least, and should be prohibited unless loam of some kind be put with it to pack it down. Ladies skirts and hosiery, after walking over this road, has the appearance of having been hung in coal bin and it must be appre- ciated by those living along the line to nave this black dust swept into their houses and leave it's black mark. The present management of our town money have increased the taxes, and some not only want the tax doubled but tripied and even quadrupled and if the taxes went up to 50 mills on dollar they would spend it all and then, like the little boy that went to the store with five cents in his pocket for candy and when it was gone he wanted i've cents worth more and have it charged. What are the people thinking of by increasing the indebtedness of the town la the manner it has the past few years and charging it to their children and posterity that are to occupy their places when their lifeless bodies lie sleeping in the graveP-[Tax payer No 2.

 Some such system of State, county, or district supervision has become an urgent necessity in the old New England states. It is notorious fact that under the present management of the public schools of Connecticut this most impor- , tsnt and responsible part of the work is sometimes found in the hands of school visitors who know less about education than the poorest teachers-men who have not ssirgle qualification for the position-not even the redeeming quality of good reputation. And ss 1t will be ! in all probability, until the State takes ! this matter in hand and redeems 1t from the curse and degradation of local poli- tics. Massachusetts long since abolished the district system, adopted town manage ment, and groups together neighbor1ng towns into districts for practical, person. al supervision. Most of the younger etates of the Union have state system of public instruction essentially the same in principle and scope as that which we have suggested. The economy, effec- tiveness, and wisdom of such system will commend itself to the mature judge ment of every thoughtful, patriotic citi- zen.
 We may not be able to attain this high idesl which is set forth by our leading educators, for many years to come; but we ought by all means to be doing what we can to prepare the way for the re- alizstion of the better things which are most surely coming in their own good time,-[O. o. Wright.
 At the request of Lecturer G, M.Wake- lee of the Fairfield Pomona Grange, the | above paper was carefully prepared by Rev MT Wright, to be read at the New town meeting. MT Wright gave up oth- CT work to prepare it and was surprised enough to receive note from MT Wake lee ing the paper would have to be omitted. The reason MT Wakelee gives will be found in the following cores pondence:

In 1889 Geoge Washington was an
Imperialist. His political enemies said
50.
In 1896 John Adams was an Imperial
list, and no other than Thomas Jefferson
said so and repeated it in 1900.
From 1900 to 1908, Thomas Jefferson
was the Imperialist. He imperially an
nexed Louisiana and dictated the selec-
ton of his successor, James Madison.
In 1880, Andrew Jackson was an I'M
perialist. His enemies printed cartoons
of him with a crown on his head and a
robe about his shoulders, trampling the
constitution of the United States under
his feet.
In 1886, James K. Polk was an Imper-
ialist. He imperially annexed New
Mexico, Arizona, California, and other
territory from Mexico.
In 1860. Abraham Lincoln succeeded
to the heritage of Imperialism. His EN-
| emies said he would overthrow the con-
| stitution and establish arbitrary rule
and would make himself king by the
strength of the army, II when tine

From 1869 to 1876, General U. S. Gran

used to call him the King of America
and The Man on Horseback
And now William Mckinley is an I'm.
perialist. The Democrats say so anC
they mean just as much and just as lit
tie as when Washington, Adams, JEFF
ferson, Jackson, Polk, Lincoln ant
Grant were called Imperialists by thei
political opponents. If William Mckin

he had not accomplished great thing

more than a million dollars, but will
make it at the expense of the farmers
of the Rio Grande valley, by prohibiting
them from using the water of the river,
1t is an infamous scheme, but the
Texans hope to work it through, and
they know their surest way to success
is to get a delegate from this territory
who will stand in with them.
Texas is MI. Larrazolo's old home. He
has only lived in New Mexico a little
while and was never heard of here till
the Democratic convention nominated
him for congress-. All the Democratic
PAPER in northwestern Texas are sup
porting him, and are working harder
for him than the Democratic papers In
New Mexico. Why should these papers
be so anxious for his success If they &c
not expect to be benefited by it, ant
why should land spectators at El Pass
put up money for his campaign if the.
do not expect to use him in their bust
ness?
They can we'll afford to pay the cam
paign expenses of any candidate TO
delegate in New Mexico if they can rel!
upon his assistance in working through
such a measure as the Stephens bill.
But a the people of New Mexico af
ford to put their most important inter
ests in the hands of a man who is sus
pected of being in the employ of thei
enemies?
The passage of the Stephens bill
means ruin for New Mexico. Can w

Lies Refuted by Facts.

On Saturday afternoon a made-up po-
litical campaign sheet with the heading
of the Las Vegas Optic, was circulated
about the city. While it made no votes
it's lies may have impressed themselves
as truths upon some weak, ignorant
Democrats who cannot or will not go to
the trouble to probe into the matter.
The sheet for instance gives figures to
prove hat the last Republican legisla-
ture increased salaries to the amount of
$3.50, 200, while it gave to schools only
$24, 300.
Take the first item in which the sheet
says that the salary of the o oil in
spector is It present $4,000 a year
From the most reliable information OBJ.
tainable the New Mexican can vouch
that the income of the coal oil inspector
from his services for the territory is on
ly about $4,000 a year.
The paper further says that the extra
legislative employees drew SIS, 1000, while
as a matter of fact the appropriation
bill for extra legislative employees calls
for only $4,000.
The increase in the salaries of county
| school superintendent was a JUS
! measure since yer at present the av'
