at, and the result Of, tbc.trial of Professor
Samuel ii. Baker. principal Of the Canon
City Public Schools, on the charge of as
sault and battery upon the son of J. A

We have given this case in detail for the
reason that similar ones are very rare, and
the issue of this may establish . prece-
dent in our city, II nowhere else We feel
that the interests Of education demand the
serious, candid, sober attention of every
member of good society. Bodies like schools
cannot bc governed without discipline.
without discipline in the schoolroom ad-
vanccment is impossible. The education of
our children is the first and highest duty
the parent owes to his offspring. Ergo. ed
ucation must be impaired; il cannot he

Mr.. Belford Fined.

In the star ronte trial, on Wednesday,
Congressman BeIford was called to the
stand, and testified to the rapid growth of
Colorado towns, and the consequent needs
of increased mafl facilities. He had often
called upon the second assistant postmaster
general, and solicited increased service.
When the lawyers had gotten through
with him, Mr.. Belford asked the privilege
of making a statement regarding that
s., 900 check. The court denied him
the courtesy, saying that was not . public
meeting, but judicial tribunal. Belfou
then exclaimed: II state, before the hv-
ing God, that never saw such . check y
He started out, bat Judgewylie called him
back, and fined him 800 for contempt Of
court. When fined Mr.. Belford retorted !:
q will pay $500; but no man shall stab
my charncterw The fine was then paid,
and tho indignsat q RelrHsndsd RoQgeek Z
a1partsd ii peHre. D01bey h0 published
the following card:
Rerdell testified that gave ]. B Rolford a
check for 5000. and that that charge appears
upon the books which he kept. never gave
Beiford q check for one cent. There never
was transaction OF any name or nature be-
tween Beiford and myself; no such charge
appears in any book Of mine; no such check
was ever given; no person acting for Belford
or for me ever transacted by my authority
business Involving one cent. The whole story
is a vile, vicious and cowardly faisehood,
without a gIimnier of truth upon which 70
build the mountain OF perjury. i say this
much. and at this time, for the reason that
Belford was to-day denied the right TO tell
Rerdeil uttered his falsehood.

IRON FENCING FOX ALL TEXAS.

Texas has some of the richest iron
deposits in the world, and it has
large convict force mot most prolita

country with timber. adapted to agri-
culture and to most profitable stock
production. 1t has its great timber
districts, but the scarcity of TIM
Der throughout the world is
confining its use to specific
purposes. is leading to its rejection
for fencing and to its reservation for
buildings and for furniture and inn
plements and for art purposes. For
ests are becoming more valuable than
gold or silv er mines, and the waste of
timber in fencing, where early decay
calls for frequent renewal of enclos-
ures, is being universally condemned.
Iron is rapidly taking the place of
timber in the construction of enclOs-
ures, and the day is coming when,
even iln the midst of great forests, it
will be found more economical to use
iron fences than to convert trees into
fencing material. soon to be destroyed
by extreme atmospheric conditions.
Texas has world of territory de-
mandlng enclosures. The not long
ago wild west, where hostile Indians
lived, where the buffalo roamed amid
perpetual pastures, where the white
man ventared at imminent peril to
his being. where domesticated flocks
and herds were unknown, there to-
day, over hundreds of miles of terri
tory, on the Llano Estacado. along
the Rio Grande, through the Panhan-
die region, the production of beef and
mutton for the worlds consumption
is great From these late wilds, mill
ions of pounds OFT wool are annually
shipped, and hoE Ses and mules are
reared there to supply the demand in
almost every state in the Union. In
all this territory iron fencing, because
OF the absence of tin nber, is absolute
ly necessary, while throughout all
Texas it is now the IN .ost enconomical
enclosure. 1t must have been re-
fiictions like these, VIII ich led Judge
Morris, the day before his death, at
Henderson, to suggest TO the STATES
MAN the propriety of using the iron
deposits OF, Texas and tn Q states con-
vict force for the production of ma
terial necessary TO the prosperity of
every portion of Texas. Companies
engaged in the m anufacture of iron
fencing material are making enor-
nous profit out of its production,
and they are sup plying the people of
Texas with mill ons of dollars worth
of this material. What their annual
sales in Texas amount to is not
stated, but it is enormous, and every
foot of wire comes from distant
states. To ma ke this fencing wire In
