Three Good Suggestions.

1t has been frequently suggested.
and the suggestion is a very good
one. for every farmer to place his
name and the name of his farm on
his roadgate. Not only would per-
sons driving to place more easily
find it, but it would add more pleasure
and interest to people driving from
place to place. This last result. would
have special effect with regard to
well kept and pretty places. An OBJ
serving person will seldom pass a
beautiful farm without desiring to
know who is its enterprising owner.
Lamar Sparks.
The Enterprise would add this sug-
gestion: Every farmer who has a
farm in which he takes pride should
give it name. Otero county has n
number OF such farmers and there
should be more, as we have very many
ranches on which the improvements
and general appearance justify the
owners in rejoicing in their posses
sion and worthy of being named. Do
this. and then use letter heads and
envelopes bearing the name of your
farm and those with whom you cor
respond in the east and elsewhere
will have an advanced but correct
idea of the development OF this por-
tion OF the great and glorious west.

Wouldn't you rather be cashier of
a good ban or chief clerk in a big
dry goods store than to hold a county
office? Well, if o are competent
you may be able to work your way
into such a job,-and if you have
the right kind of stuff in you hold the
position for life without anybody
caring anything about your politics.
Why not choose a humble clerkship
business in preference to a deputy

of office depends upon the ups and
downs of politics.

The principal reason that politics
in New Mexico is so rotten is that
the larger towns control in every sec

erned and most prosperous agricul-
tural county of the Territory, the

Captain Fritz, of Hagerman, a mem
Der of the board of county commits
sioners, yesterday called the Rec
ord's attention to what he considers
the main points in favor of locating
the proposed new Peco river bridge
near Hagerman. In the first place, it
will cost the county five thousand
dollars less to build the bridge at
that point. Then Hagerman is a
town of some Importance, surrounded
by some of the most valuable farms
and orchards in the Pecos Valley,
paying more taxes thar any other
section of the county, except Roswell
and vicinity. He admits that there
are a number of homesteaders locat-
pay any taxes to speak of,-wnile
opposite Hagerman are located some
county, cattlemen and ranch owners.
Dexter, is said to be only a deserted
townsite since the Tallmadges stop
ped booming it. On the other hand,
Hagerman has grown steadily and
substantially, it's prosperity being
based on the development of the
country surrounding it. The Hager-
man people, Capt. Fritz said, would
prepare for publication within a few
days a detailed statement of the
case in favor of locating the bridge
near Hagerman. The county commits
sioners will not act in the matter of
locating the bridge until heir Octo-
Der meeting. In the meantime the int
erests of the taxpayers will be fully
considered, and the decision will be
based on business principles.

A gigantic sugar trust. which
bespeaks trouble for the small plan
ters, has been formed in this State.
It is composed Of large planters like
the Godchauxs, McCalls, Williams
0xnard, ETC., and the concern will be
named the Louisiana Sugar Company,
with capital Of $4,000, 900. A
monster refinery will be erected in
New Orleans to a cost of 81, 500, 900.
This will place the sugar industry OF
this State into one gigantic concern,
with what effect remains to be seen.
The small planters in the Sugar
Bowl section of the State are ap-
prehensiye. but the combiners throw
out assurances that they only intend
mutual protection, and that the move
will rebound to the interest of the
sugar industry of Louisiana.

The CARENCRO
REGULATORS.
Judge Pugh Admits the Accused to Three
Hundred Dollars Bond.
NEGRO SHOT AT WHITE CAPS

WhltecapPing Is Condemned by Element who
Themselves Whipped Negroes When Latter
We're Offensive to Community.
Judge Pugh held preliminary ex-
animation in the case of the men
charged with the killing of the negro
Antoine Dominique, at Carencro, last
week. The preliminary was held in
Lafayette, and crowd of several
hundred men from the Carencro
section attended it, all evidently
sympathizing with the accused.
1t is said that the men are sturdy,
honest. peaceable farmers Of that
section, and it seems the general
opinion that they are not guilty The
|
evidence was not of such a character
as to point to them as the perpetra-
tors of the crime, but His Honor
thought it advisable to held them
under bond to await developments,
as odds and ends cropped out that
can be taken as circumstantial ev-
idence against them.
The Clarion learns that regulating
negroes around Carencro has been a
favorite pasttime with some people
there for some time past, but the
punishment inflicted heretofore has
been confined to sound castigations.
There was time when the negroes
Of that section were insoient and
troublesome, but it is said that now
this can not be charged to them:
that they have become good darkies
and really merit not the cat-o'-nine-
tails, which is recognized as superb
negro civilizer, often saving him
more severe punishment BY "gentling
him in time.
Thus it is that the better class Of
citizens, recognizing that there is no
more necessity for whipping niggers,
condemn those who continue the
practice as mere sport always the
great danger that stands in the way
OF the citizens of a community taking
the law in their own hands. The
rough element now think that be-
cause good citizens took these meas
ures when it was necessary for the
good Of the community, they are
licensed to do the same thing even If
there is no occasion for it.
On the night Of the killing of the
negro Dominique crowd Of about
sixty men had chastised several ne
groes, when he came along. He got
a whipping, and ran and left his horse
and buggy on the spot. He went
home and armed himself and returned,
and fight took place, in which the
negro shot as well as the regulators,
or whiteeaps. He was found dead,
with two pistols nearby.
The men arrested and released un-
der $500 bond each are: Therence
Guidroz, Antoine Conque, Henri
Breaux and his son Gabriel, Pierre
Guilbeaa and Hypolite Sicily.
Everything is quite at Carencro,
and no further trouble is expected.
Carencro il just over the line
dividing Lafayette and st. Landry,
on the Lafayette side, and none of
the parties implicated are from this
parish.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Many claims are
being filed in the federal courts against
the grain contained in elevators owned
by McReynolds & Co., by creditors of
the defunct concern who hold ware
house receipts purporting to cover the
grain. Judge Bethea yesterday. en-.
tered an order allowing the sale Of
thousands Of bushels of grain in eleva-
tor B and the holding Of the proceeds
until it was decided who owned the
grain or held warehouse receipts for it.
The bank Of Montreal is the most ur-
gent claimant. Bartlett, Frazier & Car

have filed similar claims. Judge Bethea
has ordered the receiver, the Chicago

the grain or its proceeds.

steal. 1 have found only one case where
a fiat rate was upheld. In that city
all sewers are assessed at $1.75 a foot,
which Is put into a sewer fund, and it
has been sufficient to pay for the con-
struction of all trunk and local sewers,
and no annual tax is levied for trunk
sewers upon property. that does not
have sewer advantages, or upon: per
sonal property. On this basis, fiat
rate is all right.
We heard a good deal about the JUS
sewers, previous to the Pil1sbury de-
cision. 81 :.-<
? Let me illustrate what a fraud it
was. We will say that a trunk sewer
was built on Lake street, from Lake
Calhoun to the Mississippi river. No
matter what that sewer cost, it is paid
for by general taxation, and is the
property. of the whole city, maintained
and kept in repair by tax upon all of
the property in the city. Into this
sewer we will say empties the sewers
Of Portland, Park, Chicago, Clinton
and Nicollet avenues, from both direc-
tions, costing from 80 cents to $3.50 a
front foot, according to the material
of which they are constructed. The
cost Of material and labor in different
years, the weather while the sewer is
being built, and the character of the
soil thru which the sewer is laid, are
all factors to be considered.
Under the old system fiat rate OF
$3.50 per foot was assessed.
Is there man in this city who will
contend that it is right to Keep the 1C
to 60 cents per foot excess and apply
it on the cost Of the Lake street sewer
which has been built by a general tai

there a court, or an attorney in this

SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
The Theory on Which Our Sewer
System Is Constructed.
To the Editor of The journal.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
There has been much discussion for
the past five years of the system Of
special assessments and the laws relat-
ing thereto. Men who are well posted
in all other matters seem to know but
little, about it. The theory Of taxa.
tion is that all property shall contribute
equally to the support Of the govern.
ment and it is the recomnized right of
the state, county and city to take from
every man Is accumulations the amount
necessary to do SO.
Special assessments for special i'm
provements must be as nearly equal as
possible when the general public receive
a benefit, but in street improvements
the property on the street receives a
special benefit and can be taxed to the
full amount of the benefited. limited
only by the cost Of the Improvement
or by some special law limiting the
benefit. The benefits must, however.
be considered and the property owner
must be given notice, either personally
or by published notice, that he may
have a. hearing. Under late decisions Of
the courts the legislature may establish
the amount Of the benefit.
Street improvements are generally
assessed equally per front foot on each
| side Of the street, without regard to
the value Of the property or. the depth
Of the lot.
The system inaugurated in this CITY
about five years ago is about the same
| as that followed BY most cities and ia
fair to all. Take, for instance, the
sewer system. Trunk sewers are paid
