EDITORIAL CONVENTION SKETCHES;

Marcos G. de Buca was born in Pena
Blanca, Santa Fe county, April Is, 1867
His early education was at San Miguel
college, where he remained till 1871. For
three years he had the advantages OF the
st. Louis university. His inclinations to
public Lille led him to seek Office in the
territorial legislatures, where he served as
assistant clerk, and clerk OF the house OF
representatives. Mr.. Baca gained valua-
bic experience in these positions, which
was recognized by tile Republicans OF
Bernalilo county, who elected him in 1882
az q member OF the house. lie has stead
il. held the confidence OF tile citizens OF
Bernalillo county, having been chosen
chairman OF the board OF commissioners
in 1884, and recently county assessor.
Mr.. Baca was in sympathy with all ad.
vanced measures, aud voted for the most
liberal provisions for schools. He moved
the adoption of the first section of the
altitle on education in the constitution.

AMERICAN ILLITERACY.

At the annual address before The trus-
tees of the Peabody educational fund Hon.
Robert C. Winthrop, Of Massachusetts.
said: "a dense cloud of illiteracy still
overshadows large parts OF our land. In
twelve southern states 332,723 white
voters and $50, 9O4 negro voters are unable
to write. Had congress concurred at once
in the measure OF relief urged upon them
in our memorial OF 1880, nine years would
have been saved in the prosecution OF the
work which it contemplated"
No iarts will be Of such vital importance
in the returns OF the national census OF
1880 as those which will inevitably
show the increase of ignorance in the
United States. The last census demon-
strated that two out Of five voters in the
whole country could neither read nor
write. The evil exists and spreads IN
northern states as well as in the south.
It appears in the school statistics OF the
great cities. III fifty OF the eighty-three
largest cities of the country from so to 60
per cent OF the children of school age do
not attend school. In the colored popu'
lation the ratio of ignorance is enormous
They increase in numbers faster than any
other classes. immigration OF urtaugh
foreigners adds to the peril. There is NJ
danger TO the republic so great as the in
ability Of its citizens TO read and write
Tie ratio Of such ignorance in New Mexico
has decreased in the last ten years fully
10 per cent, mainly through private or de
nominationa efforts. Let us have pub
lie school system that will sweep ava!
the shadow from us that dlms other por
| tons OF the union.

MODERN FORCES IN TOWN GROWTH.

1t is impossible now to make hand
contest in town building with those who use
the forces with which modern science now
arms shreWd and energetic people. With
these you can build up city in feN
years, without single natural advantage
for health or taste such as Santa Fc pcs
sesses. The old story that school house
and church are the first, chief and most
potent means to build up town is worn
out. These arc good and essential in
their place, but almost useless where
there are no people. People are where
there is work to be done.
Hand power belongs to past age.
Steam and electricity are now the great
motors Of thriving community. No
town, new or old, can be raised up to any
grcnt prosperity without one or both OF
these forces. They are not rivals, but can
lie made to work well together. Indeed
the electrical force in mechanics is pro-
duced mostly by steam. They are boil,
applicable to all occupations which make
material productions, even to those which
bring forth fruits directly from the soil.
Their use means the presence Of work
men by scores and hundreds in d COM
munity, and thence comes Il lively trade
for merchants. These workmen must be
fed, 50 that the hand worker on the
farm or in the coal mine will still have
enough to DO, and the products of steam
and electric power will 90 forth from q
community and send. back from every
direction and from far off places money
and all that money commands.
