The location OF the state capssxi
VIII soon he one of the important
questions before the people. Nearss
every town Of importance is an as-
psscanf for honors and advantage os
the capital. and there are alressg
propositions relating 20 the eionssses.
81 lands, which have very sasea
the look Of direct bids But this e
not case in which subsidies can psos,-
eriy h< offered OF received. The question
shnsssd be considered IN its relations 10
pabsic convenience and advantage,
and without reference 10 any such
temporary advantages n may be in
volved in subsidies, either Of money
or land.
To establish the capital either in the
extreme eastern or western divisions
Of the state would, In our
Judgment. be serious mis-
take Ii would work . serious
hardship upon hail the people, while
giving the other half an unfair ael-
vantage. Ii would be . severe tax
upon the remote counties TO be eona-
PEELED to pay the mileage OF their
officials in their frequent visits 70 the
capital. and in many other WAYS such
. location would be source OF annoy
aslce and expense 70 the people.
We hsve fortunately two important
towns in the middle division OF the
state. both provided with the means
Of transportation and either suisahie
in every way for the capital. We refer
OF course to ElIensburg and North
Yakima To one OF these places the
capital ought 20 go-to which Of them
it matters little so far as the general
interests OF the territory are con-
eerned. In supper. OF the claims OF
either OF these towns there is scarcely
any argument that viii not apply
with eqaai point and force TO the other
as well. Both are beautifully situated
and surrounded. Both are energetic
and expanding. Both are practically
near the geographic center OF the state
One is rs well adapted for the capital
"a the other.
When the question of relocating the
capital was Up two years ago the Posi-
ISrELLEsEscER approved It on the
ground that there would be time ta
name the capital city when the terri
tory became q state. That time is nos
at hand. The thing which two years
ago was maniiestiy premature and ina
proper is now timely and positive
necessity. Ii is important that the
question should be settled imuesii-
ateiy so the work of creating those in
ssitutions which should be located at
the capital of the state may begin with
the creation of the state.

A PREMIUM OF SEVENTEEN CENTS.


The territorial authorities have just paid
premium of Il cents and bought for can
ce llation $4,000 of the penitentiary build
ing bonds, The law provides that when
ever there is in the penitentary interest
and sinking fund a surplus of money over
and above the amount necessary to meet
interest, such surplus shall be applied to
reducing the principal. Three months
ago the governor advertised for bids, pro-
posing to take up $40 900 of these bonds
at the lowest premium possible, but the
holders of the bonds counted them so ex-
cellent an investment that none cared to
sell, and not a bid was received in re-
spouse to this advertisement, which was
made through the press in New York, San
Francisco and at Santa Fe. A short time
since, however, Major Palen, cashier of
the First National bank, learned that
party connected with the Anglo-Ameri-
can bank in San Francisco, held $4,000
of the bonds which might be secured, and
negotiations were entered into which
brought about this sale. There being no
competition, of course the only
| iIolucI VI JULIUS WHO WIS VII
ling to sell had it all prac
tirally his own way, hence the high
premium, SO 400, which the territory had
to pay. The bonds had yet five years to
run at 7 per cent, which would have made
the interest on them 81 900, but by buy
ing them in at this time even at 80 high
u premium the territory makes net
saving of s., 800. There are yet $4,000
OF these penitentiary bonds outstanding,
but under the resent capable manage
ment of territorial finances it is more
than probable that the coming year will
find sufficient of surplus in this fund to
justify the calling in of another $4,000
of the bonds. For carrying out the above
negotiations the credit is due to the
financial ability of Cashier Palen, of the
First National bank.

A FIOurishing Institution.

VIM. B. Creager, superintendent of the
government Indian school at Albuquer-
que, paid this Office visit to-day. He
has now 1873 pupils representing four
tribes, the Pemas, Papagoes to the mum
Der of 100, and the balance Navajos and
Pueblos. The capacity of the school is
200, and since he has just been notified
by the department that fifty more
Navajo girls will soon be brought in, he
hopes ere long to be supplied to the
fullest. This institution has now twenty
six employees, and is on the whole in a
very hourishing condition. Prof. Creager
has to-day paid visits to Ramona and St.
Catherine Indian schools.

The Mining & Engineering Journals
Boston correspondent writes of the cop
per market:
"The feature of the week has been the
dealings in Santa Fe transactions, which
have aggregate over 10000 shares. Early
in the week the stock was steady at about
81 %, but later raid was made upon it,
evidently for the purpose of depressing
the price so as to cover shorts or get some
cheap stock, which resulted in sending
it down to 95c., rally soon followed, and
on the announcement of the new organ
ization in the management orders to pur-
chase forced the price up again to $l.25,
and it is very strong at that price, with
prediction that it will sell up to " before
January /, and much higher later on.

SATURDAY SMALL TALK.

THE PHILHARMONIC uRCnEsTRA's CONCERT.
The music lovers OF santa Fe were de
li!htfully entertained last night by the
Philharmonic orchestra. Three hours
were required to present the program.
The orchestral parts, especially the over
lure, civilian Tell, were excelently well
rendered, and uustintingly praised by the
audience. Director Schotield had the
instruments well arranged and the or
chestra under perfect discipline. Miss
Shormoyer presided at the piano with
her usual ability. The new stage can
scarcely be termed an improvement for
the presentation of the stronger bursts
of music. The softer tones were most
appreciated. The string quintet, "Loin
du Bal by Gilet, had to be repeated,
and Mr.. klein's violin solo, difficult
arrangement of "the Old Folks at
Home" by Stable, stirred up the highest
enthusiasm. For an encore the "Blne
Bells of Scotland" with variations met
with great favor. Mr. Littlehaes sang the
Bed un love song by Pininti with splen-
did expression, and in response 10 a
hearty encore rendered Tosti's gem at
Came With The Merry May, Love. He
has q rich voice, we'll trained. Miss
Scruggs' reception was little short of an
ovation. At her first appearance she
sang all Italian gem from Roberto il
DiabIo," Which thoroughly captivated her
hearers. Mrs. Bartlett rendered the
piano accompaniment with happy grace
and effect Responding to an encore the
pretty little lady received a large bouquet
and Land it aside to sing the prison song
from Ii Trovatore, which also brought
forth the most cordial dem
onstratons of approval. The
iuet, Under the Starht Leaves" was
charmingly sung by Mr.. Lttehales and
Miss Scruggs, but no amount of applause,
it being late, could persuade them to re-
peat it. Miss Scruggs has a highly cul-
tivated voice and indicated her conscious
ness and devotion to the art of music by
essaying last night neither too much nor
too little, but just enough to thoroughly
entertain and charm her hearers. Her
high notes, the sweetest, perhaps, We're

an fully justified the enthusiasm so APP
parent in the audience. On the Whole
the concert was superb success.
