AT A CHINESE INN.
The Scene In the interior Of the One
Roomed Mud Hut.


The building was a long, one stored
mud hut, with matched roof. We en-
| tered. Behold what the frontiersman
had created! The long room was the
scene of homely industry. From the
center rafter hung big oil lamp, she'd
ding it's rays over a patriarchal family
as busy as a hive of bees, By the clay
stove sat the grandfather feeding the
fire with twigs and tending a brood Of
children playing on a dirt floor packed
hard, swept clean. From one corner
came the merry whir OF grinding mill
stones as blindfolded donkey walked
round and round. while a woman in
red with a wonderful headdress gath
cred up the heaps of yellow cornmeal
that oozed from the gray stones. More
women in red threw the bright meal
high In the air, winnowing 1t of its
chat; others leaned over clay mortars,
pounding condiments with stone pes
ties.
Men were hurrying here and there
with firewood. cooking for the travel
ers. One end of the room was reserved
for these wayfarers, but the k'ang at
the other end was divided into sec
lions. From each rafter over each Sec
ton swung quaint little cradles. In
each cradle was a little brown baby,
each baby tended by a larger child.
Far away from the loud elamor of the
western world we fell asleep In clean
inner room, TO the soft sound of swing
ing cradles and grinding millstones.--

A collision between a Ford roadster
owned by Louis Gould of Mortified
street, Montpelier, and Buick touring
car owned by Raymond Fernandez OF
Barre occurred about s o'clock last even
ing at the corner of Main and State
streets and, strange as it may seem, the
little Ford was damage the most. The
Gould machine was proceeding along
Main street in southerly direction, and
the Fernandez car made the turn around
the keep to- the right sign from Main to
State street. The Ford had the right OF
way, and spectators were unanimous in
attaching the blame to the Barre driver.
The Buick hit the Ford broadside, bend

the steering gear. One. light on the
Buick was wrenched, but not broken.

MONTPELIER
Opposition to Special Tax of IS Cents
Was Defeated.

A special tax of l5c payable into the
city treasury on or before Nov. l, 1877,
the money derived to be used in meeting
the zoe state war tax, was voted last
evening at a special city meeting in
Montpelier. There was some opposition
to the tax, led by George l.. Blanchard,
and for few minutes it looked as If
there might be some lively arguments,
although scarcely three-score citizens
took the trouble to attend the meeting.
Edward III. Deavitt started the ball roll
ing by moving that the l5c tax be as
sessed. George l.. Blanchard moved to
amend by substituting a motion calling
for the money voted to be placed in the
sinking fund to be used, and the other
5000 needed to be gained by having the
council economic in other directions.
Mr.. Blanchard practically charged the
council with being wasteful of the peo-
pies money for he said salaries had been
raised and needless expenditures made.
The charge was vigorously denied by Al
derman Ryan, who stated that no sal
aries had been raised the wages of city
employees having been raised in order
that they might be able to live with the
increased food prices in vogue. Alder
man Ryan said he was proud to be a
member of the council which recognized
the need of raising the wages of the city
employees, which brought forth consider
able applause. After some more discus
sion, vote was taken on the Blanchard
amendment, and it was lost SO to ID. The
Deavitt motion was then carried almost
unanimously and the meeting adjourned
hurriedly.

COMPREHENSIVE ROAD BILL

Senator Tuily has introduced a bill in the
state senate which provides for a complete re-
organization of the state road board and the
office Of state engineer.
1t is Senate Bill No. l47 and will un-
doubtedly be the basis upon which the new
road legislation, which we surely need, will
be built.
With a view to obtaining a full discussion
of the subject by road students and enthu-
Siasts, Mr.. fully has called a meeting of all
persons sufficiently interested TO attend, for
the 23rd inst at the Capitol building in this
CITY. This will give members Of the legis-
latlre an opportunity to get the views OF those
best prepared to make suggestions.
some of the important provisions are for
a state board or three members. as near nom
partisan as it is possible to make it; an en-
SIneer to be an employee of the board and to
hold office at the pleasure of the board; CO.
operation with the several boards of county
commissioners the contracting of road work
and construction where satisfactory bids can
be secured; for county highway superinten-
dents, to be selected from applicants who are
qualified and have been certified as competent
by the state board after proper examination.
We believe the bill is along the lines
OF what is needed and that its adoption will
eliminate many of the past difficulties and put
the board and engineer in position to actually
accomplish something for the state.

Every bill introduced in either house costs
the taxpayers of this state, on an average.
over one hundred dollars including copying,
translating, printing in two languages, mail
ing. and considering. Up to this time this man
Bryan has put in something like twenty bills,
OF which the above is a fair sample, none OF
which stand a possible chance to become laws,
or wh'ch would mean anything but further
expense and litigation if they did. He has
thus caused a waste of SOM two thousand
dollars in actual cash, besides making a
laughing stock of himself, of his county, and
the state.
The election of Mr.. Bryan was the bust
ness OF the people of Union county. His
course as a Legislator is the business of every
tax payer in this state. Both Mr., Bryan and
his electors deserve and will unquestionably
receive unsparing criticism for the manner in
which he is betraying the trust which he was
commissioned to execute for the benefit OF
the people of New Mexico,

THE WILSON KIND SCARCE

President Wilson's delay in naming tht
personnel of the tariff commission authoriz
ed in the last session of Congress is said &c
be due to his difficulty in finding a fifth
man who will shoulder the responsibilities OF
the office at the low salary named, who is
not a Republican, who will take his orders
from the President in doctoring reports, and
who will be acceptable to the Senate.
Up to date four selections have been re-
ported. all of them OF the free-trade stripe
Robert Woolley was formerly director of the
Mint. %resigning to campaign for Wilson.
Daniel Roper was first assistant postmaster
general, resigning for the same purpose. He
was clerk of the House Ways and Means
Committee when the Wilson, Underwood law
was framed, and his handbook, compiled at
that time, will go down in the annals of the
American Congress as a monument to inefh-
citncy. Five revises of the book were made
by the time the bill got to the Senate, at a
cost to the Government of thousand of dol
lars, and the Senate promptly consigned it to
the waste-basket. Ida Tarbell has been named
and il was later reported that she declined to
serve. Her familiarity with the tariff is CO.
with her knowledge of the fourth
dimension. The chairman is to be Frank Taus-
sig, a writer of frce-trade classics.
The law authorized a non-partisan COM
and previous to its enactment Mr..
Wilson said. at Detroit: Il desire not to
have a BIZ partisan, but an absolutely non-par-
tisan commission. In his speech before the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce a year ago,
Mr.. Wilson, in referring to the tariff COM
said: Il know a good many i'm
partial men on a good many subjects, but
the impartial men on that subject 1.-THE tariff
are so few that so far l know only one and
| shall have to institute a very elaborate search
for the rest.

zista forces as long ago as last August. The
Offences alleged against him were largely "po-
litical' in nature, as that is understood in
Mexico, and among them was that he had
taken ore out of a mine after it had been
confiscated by Carranza. An Extraordinary
court martial was convened to try him. He
was arraigned under a statute passed in 1862
and death sentence was passed upon him. All
this was done in secrecy-but word of his
plight finally reached Connecticut, where ex-
Gov, Simeon E. Baldwin interested himself
in the case and prodded the State Depart
ment into making a protest to Carranza-
who granted a stay of execution. On De-
cember 10, without notifying this government
of its intention and without making any
change in the status of the case as understood
here, Mr., Elton was executed. After nearly
six weeks of concealment, the State Depart
nlent made the facts public.
Well may Lord NorthclifTe be puzzled
that an American President who permits
things of this sort to take place in %neighbor-
ing Mexico should be so passionately cock
sure that he has the penacea for the peace
of the world. 1t is TO be hoped that Mr.. Will
sons "candour"-as he spells twill enable
him to deal with the murder of Howard e.
ton, American citizen, as the case deserves.

REPUDlATE THE PACIFISTS

The Republican National Committee
through one of the news bureaus in New York
is giving its hearty support to the President
in his stand on the German controversy. In
cidcntallv the committee does not fail to take
notice OF the 50 called p%acifists in no uncer-
tain language, the sentiment Of which the
Record, in onmo with practically all Re
publicans, endorses.
We quote from one OF the communica-
tions the following;
every patriotic American citizen must
dcplore the ilI-conceivcd action of that small
minority Of our people who have utilized a
moment Of grave national peril to inflict up
the public, by advertisements and by open
meetings, their p~acifist uttcrances. Instead
Of loyalty supporting the President in the only
action compatible with national dignity and
national honour. these shOrt-sighted sentiment
.t4lists weaken his hands by counselling a cow
ardlv abandonment Of American rights and
a shameful Reputation Of the Presidents
to "omit no word or act necessary
to hold Germany to "%strict accountability for
m,irlerous assaults on American lives,
"The President is cndeavoring to impress
Germany with the seriousness OF the conse-
qllclceS sure 10 1OllOW the execution OF heI
projected campaign of frightfulness. These
pa%cifists, are in effect traitors to their coun-
for they would invite war by convincing
Germany that America is too soft and senti-
to defend her honour, her rights, or the
lives Of her citizens.
LET every true American repudiate the
foolish behaviour of these misguided people,
and stand ~squarely back of the President by
supporting a vigorous policy in dealing with
my situation arising from the severance of
diplomatic relations"

So Mr.. c. w. B. Brvan's home paper

posals as he has introduced in the house, to
the disgrace of the state and the detrimentI
