ABOUT GOLD PRODUCTION.Prof. Shaler of Harvard Uni-

versity is credited with predictingsuch a production of gold withinthe next decade that, in his opin-ion, the purchasing power of themetal will be seriously impaired.Aa a remedy, he predicts a returnto silver as the money standard.If by 1910 all American silver dol-

lars are converted into subsidiarycoinage, in accordance with theprovisions of one of the bills nowbefore congress, there will be agood chance for the mints to keepbusy in changing them backagain. How slowly the worldlearns its lessons! Let mankindpass laws to the effect that no su-

ATTACHING GAMBLER'S CHIPS.A new feature in attachment

suits starteled gambling fratern-ity Wednesday night. Ed Leeclaimed that a man by the nameof IJoatwright owed him $30.Locating the man in a poker gamewith several stacks of chips infront of him, Lee procured a writof attachment for the sum of$32.50 and costs. Proceeding withthe constable to the poker tablethe man was pointed out and theconstable simply gathered up theman's chips and put them in hispocket. He then presented themto the proprietor, who cashedthem. The attachment of pokerchips for debts is apt to createconsiderable of flurry.

in America? How much of thefreedom they fought for will theCubans get? How far is theUnited States Government fromthe repudiation of its pledge tothe nations of the world? Whatheed will be paid the work of theCuban convention? You cananswer all these questions easilyenough if yóu have read the re-

THE SCHOOL LANDS.

The school lands donated byCongress to New Mexico shouldbe segregated from the public do

main at the earliest date possible,and placed on the market to beeased to stock men and farmers.

There are thousands of acres of

ands suitable for grazing in Lin-:ol- n

count)', that could be leased,if they were only surveyed andplaced on the market.

The law provides that only onesection can be leased to one per-

son and we think a wise provisionas do not want very large tractsof land held by one person. Weprefer many settlers on smallertracts. However, leases are as

jnablc so that persons requir?ing more than one section, ormany as for that, may purchasethe leases of others and thus secure land sufficient for their needsA hundred families on a tract ofland of fifty miles long, is muchmore to be desired than one only,as is often the case on the bigranches. The small ranchmenare worth much more to the county, if we could settle it with such,than large outfits. Then why

CAPTAIN LUNA.

Some of the papers are makinga fuss over the fact that the leg-

islature appropriated one thous-

and dollars for a bust of CaptainLuna fo be placed in the hall of

representatives at the capito.The New Mexican and sheets pan-

dering to the administration andlooking tp benefits from the na-

tive legislators, )aud Capt. Lunato the skies, and place his namebeside that of the great herpes of

the country, while another classwho are independent and outspoken, say that Luna shirked as a

soldier and did nothing to entitlehis memory to be thus revered.Now the facts are that Luna, a native, went to the Spanish war asa capt., which other natives wereready to do if only they had hada pull to obtain such a position.Luna js entitled to credit for evengoing as a captain, for but fewof the natives went or were will-

ing to go and fight in the ranksagainst the enemies of the StarsStripes in Cuba. And as Lunawent to the Philippines as a lieutenant, a less remunerative andlower in rank than his commissionin the Spanish war, wre must con-

clude that he was really enthusedwith more or less patriotism.That he was drowned in the Phil-

ippine service is to be regretted,but impartially summing up thematter, we find no reason whypublic moneys should be used toplace a bust of Capt. Luna in thehall of representatives, unless itbe on the ground that he servedin the 33rd Assembly as Speaker,and few would favor placing abust of pur in thehall,

We concede that Luna proba-bly did his duty as an Americancitizen and we would say naught toreflect upon his record as asoldierand a native son of New Mex-

ico, but he is no more worthy orentitled to commemoration in thisway and at public expense thanare any of the soldiers from NewMexico, who ,fought the battlesof El Caney and San Juan Hillin Cuba, and who lost their livesdoing duty as brave and patiroticAmericans. If the action of thelegislature is based on the factthat Luna is deserving of thisnotice simply becsuse he was anative and was patriotic enoughto go to the war, he being one ofthe very few who did so, then itis certainly not any credit to thenative people who did not andwould not go. However, the realcause of this action is Pallstaffianin its nature. Simply bluster foreffect and to curry favor withLuna's friends who are politicallystrong in New Mexico.

We respect the memory of Capt.Luna, and think the movementby subscription all right. Hemay well deserve it, but weprotest against the use of publicmoneys for the purpose stated, forthe reason that it is impossible tothus reward all who are equallydeserving, as public taxes are notlevied for such purposes.

A bill creating Luna countyout of a portion of Grant andDona Ana counties passed andwas signed by the Governor. Thisbill was opposed by the representatiyes from Grant and Dona Anacounties, This has long beensource of contention in the legis-

lature, and perhaps it is hctterthat it is settled.

The legislature adjourns today.Its farther existence as a law-

making body, is barp.'d by liinjtation, Hie sixty days allowed,have expired, and now a sigh of

r .ciiei goes up irom me tax payers

as they realize that not as muchharm has been done as was fearvd.

OUR INSTITUTIONS.The heavy legislation of the

34th legislative assembly at San-

ta Fc, has been in thu interest ofa few towns that wanted an institution, educational or otherwise,for the benefits which would be

derived from it, or rather fromthe expenditure of the fundsnecessary to build and maintainit. They even provided for a

normal school at Puerto dc Lunaa small Mexican town on thePecos river that never has hadeither a public school or a newspaper, and is not nearer thanforty miles of a town that has.Thus public moneys are squandered by our law makers, to builda school house where there is no

one qualified to enter thp schoolwhen established, and when it is

clear that all the school is wantcd for is, money that will be ex

pended ip rPPting the buildingand operating the school whichwill not have a dozen pupils in

the normal courses, in ten years.This, however, is but a fair

illustration of legislation respectins: the establishing; of schoolsand institutions in New Mexico.We have more institutions ofhigher education in the territory,than efficient public schools.1 hese various institutions wereestablished for two reasons: Onewas, to make a show and thushasten statehood, and the otherwas the local financial benefit to

the towns where the institutionswere located. Of course, there is

also in most cases, a benefit resuiting to the people of the townwhere the school is located, astheir children are educated atpublic expense. This, however,is a secondary consideration inmost cuses.

The principal of the whole thingis wrong. We should haveuniversity; an agricultural collegeand a first class public schoolsystem. The university shouldinclude a normal course andcourse in minerology, chemistryivc, for those desiring to takethose cpursea. If this plan hadWen adopted, some thirty-fiv- e orforty thousand dollars a yearcould haye been saved, and thepeople of New Mexico enioy thesame educational advantagesBut every town must haveschool of high grade, and so thework goes on.

tlemen who may wish to locatehere? A little effort in this direction, might prove of greatbenefit. If no effort is made toget these lands surveyed, the suryeyors may and likely will be employed in other parts of the territory and our lands will be left asnow so that only lfQ acres can beacquired and that under the homestead laws only. Ttje time is fastapproaching when stock will hayeto be kept in pastures, and if thesalands are offered for lease, it willafford opportunity to such aswish to make pastures, tQ ge;lands sufficient for that purpose

BLACK JACK TO HANS,

Thos. Kctchum, known asBlack Jack, is condemned to hangtomorrow at Clayton, New Mexico, for the train robbery at Fol- -

som, in the northern part or theterritory a few months ago. Henp doubt, now full' realizes theforce of the saying, "Honesty is

the best policy." He has a brotherin Texas whp is doing well in thestock business and who is anholiest and respected citizen.Black Jack might have done likewise if he would. His fate is ofhis own making.

J. J. Hagcrman bought 100,000acres of land from the govern-ment just east of the Pecos riverin Chaves county. A few yearsago the government granted landto the Santa Fe railroad. 100,000acres of these lands are in Arizona,and the government has taken itfor a forest reserve and gave theselands sold to Hagennan instead.He aims to fence it for a stockranch.

The President has been con-

gratulated on the quiet lately forhaving had forced through thesenate the Spooner amendmentto the army bill, which makeshim absolute dictator of the Phil-ippine Islands, and the Cubanamendment which will permithim to give Cuba independenceon his own terms when he getsgood and ready. Thus he is in-

vested with power. which tenyears ago would have appalledthe majority of Americans,

GTATEHOOD.Delegate elect Rodey said to o

Journal-Democ- rt reporter theother day, that president McKin-le- y

favors statehood for NewMexico, and so assured him whenhe (Rodey) was in Washington,Mr. Rodey thinks the 57th con

gress is Nev Mexico's opportunity to get into the union, and thatif admission is not granted thisyear it will be the fault of ourown people. He admits that eastern congressmen oppose NewMexico's admission, as a rule, butthinks the opposition may beovercome.

Admission has been the songof every newly elected delegateto congress from this territory foryears, and has been repeatedlyturned down by congress, but nowas Mr. Rode' says, it looks likethe President really favors NewMexico's admission to the union,thinking probably that the newstate will add two more republi-

cans to the majority in the senate.Mr. Rodey advises all state-

hood advocates to have state-hood printed all over their station-ary, like the citizens of

Oklahoma, and write to everymember of the House and Senate,soliciting aid for the cause.

was his grand father. His father,John Scott JIarrispn, served twoterms in congress, oung Benlived on his father's farm, andworked at anything there was todo, until he was nearly grown,when he went to Carey's Academyin Cincinnati. From there hewent to Miami University at Ox-

ford, Ohio. He graduated andwas married before he was twenty- -

one years old. He sold a lot givenhim by an aunt in Cincinnati, for$800 and with the money moved toIndianapolis, where he began thepractice of law. Here he and hiswife rented and lived in a two room

house, one room was the sittingand sleeping apartment, and theother i kitchen and dining room.General Harrison's estate is esti-

mated to be worth a half milliondollars. Thus do we see in hishistory, what may be, or was atleast, accomplished by a poor boyin the American republic.
