A GREAT deal has been said in the press
Of the country of late about the Bennett
educational law OF Wisconsin, and not a
few have been led into very erroneous
idea Of its intent and purposes. There
was in reality no attempt whatsoever
made in the passage Of this act to abridge
the rights of any sect or class of citizens.
Ex-Goy. Pounds, Of Wisconsin, in q re-
cent interview makes very lucid ex-
PLANTATION of its objects, and if his
statement OF the case is correct
the Bennett law :snt half the
bug-bear it has been painted.
In word, it simply provides that the
children of this nation shall be taught to
speak the English language; they can be
taught as many other languages as their
parents see fit to pay for, but the state OF
Wisconsin demands that English shall be
taught in her schools. 1T is compul-
sory," says Gov. Pounds, in one parti-
cular only, and that is that children shall
70 to school and be taught the English
language. The law does not intend that
children shall be forced to go to public
schools. They can attend private or
parochial schools if their parent so desire.
An Interpretation of the law to mean that
children shall be forced to attend public
vchools u wrong"

why that is their business. An enter
prising and industrious community can
not and should not be made to suffer on
this account. The discoutnuan"e of the
route would be severe blow at the adj
vancemont and business interests Of sew
eral thousand people and would retard
the progress and settlement OF large ex'
tent OF country. The New Mexican calls
Postmaster General Wanamaker's atten'
ton to the case. He is Just, honorable
and excellent man of business, having the
interests of the people and also OF the
government at heart. The New MEXICAN
is satisfied that after due investigation he
will do what is best for the government
and the people, and firmly believes that
the route will be kept intact, as in all
Justice and right il ought to he.

THE Denver mails reach Santa Fe now
about the same time that the Kansas City
mails do. This should not be. The
Denver mails ought to reach there in
twenty-four hours. The papers and the
merchants of that city will help them
selves greatly in all respects by aiding us
in bringing about faster and more eff
cient mail service between the Qneen
city Of the plains and this section OF New
Mexico. Denver has the advantage OF
Kansas City, if it will only take notice of
it and use it. There is rich section OF
country in northern and central New
Mexico, where quick and reliable mail
and travelling facilities would build up a
lucrative and valuable connection for
Denver. The Denver press and the
Chamber of Commerce ought to take the
matter in hand.

THE Wells Fargo Express company
protects the fruit interests of California.
1t makes cheap through rates on all ex-
press matter from the east to California.
Local rates are low in California. In this
territory the action of the company is
quite the reverse. 1t makes high rates
on fruits and grapes to eastern and north
ern points. The rates from the east to
New Mexican points are eXhurbitant,
The local rates are outrageous. The en-.
tire doings OF the company in New Mex
leo seem to be based upon the principle,
make all you can and d--n the public.
We think there is remedy for that sort
of business and if the Wells Fargo Elk.
press company does not change its style
of doing business, why the remedy will
have tc be applied by legislative action at
the first opportunity.

THE FORT STANTON MAIL ROUTE

On October 10, 1880, service seven times
week and return was established on
star route No. 81, 152, from SocorrO to Fort
Stanton, in Lincoln county, via White
Oaks. The western terminus of the route
was subsequently changed to Carthage,
and recently to San Antonio, on the main
line of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad.
This daily mail route has for ten years
supplied several of the chief towns of Lin
coin county with admirable mail facilities
at present the route supplies White Oaks,
one OF the principal towns of that county,
with population of 900, and with an out
lying population of several hundred min.
ers, ranchmen, cattle and sheep owners,
who trade at White Oaks and obtain their
mail there.
| Eighteen miles south of White Oaks is
the town OF Noga with population OF
about 300, and an outside population of
several hundred, and thirteen miles
further it ends at Fort Stanton, one of the
most important military posts in the
southwest. At the latter office several
hunCred people receive their mail. Stan
ton is also the distributing office for
large area Of country, containing at least
1000 people. The people are well served
and are satisfied with the location of the
route.
At the letting of contracts this present
year opposition in bidding for the con-
tract on the route developed and the sue
ccssful bidders are 20 per cent lower thar
last seasons contract price; these bidders
find themselves with what promises to be
a loosing contract We are informed
from Washington that the men who Sc
cured the contract at the low rate are en-
deavoring to get rid of it, by procuring an
order for a discontinuance OF the said
route, as being the easiest and cheapest
way for them out of the difficulty.
The discontinuance of the route would
be a great hardship on the people of
White Oaks and Nogal and vicinity, and
would seriously cripple the business in
terest and advancement of that very i'm
portant section of New Mexico. By the
proposed new route, which would start
from some southern point, the time would
be increased over the present schedule
time about two days to White Oaks and
Nogal, and day and half to Fort STAN
ton.
The route should therefore not be dis
continued; on the contrary it should be
improved and schedule time increased
thereon from San Antonio to Fort STAN
ton. Ii bidders, with their eyes wide
open, have taken the contract to- lew,

The report that Col. Fisher of Santa Fe
had been appointed collector of internal
revenue for n. NJ, was premature, as the

is a recognition Of the younger Repubti-

Mr. Hughes will prove a worthy
successor of Col. McGrorty. We had

An amusing case has been heard at Nant-
witch county court, before Judge Thomas
Hughes, author Of Tom Browns School
Days in which John Wurrall, cab pro
prietor, claimed SO Is. for damages to a
horse and trap from George Harding, a
young gentleman.
Plaintiff said the defendant hired the horse
and trap 10 drive to Baubury. Shortly after
wards he saw Mr.. Harding drive away with
his young lady. Had he known that the de
PENDANT was taking his hance be should moi
have let him have q spirited young mare.
Judge Hughes-DOn't you let your horses
take young ladies about the countryl
The PlaintiR-Well, have certain reaSonl
against it. the defendant paid more atten-
ton TO the young Lady than to the mare.
The Judge-But you don't object TO girls
travelling IN your trapsl
The plaintiff said he did not; but in this
case the defendant threw down the mare and
broke its knees, permanently injuring It.
The defense was that the mare tripped it
self and fell, pitching out Mr.. Harding and
the lady with much violence. 10 was also
denied that the defendant was paying more
attention to the lady than 70 the mare Ths
jury, however, gave a verdict for 20 Is and
costs.-London Standard.

SCHOOL ROOM FLAGs.

The Garfield Post has received enough
flags to supply each school room in the
city with one. They are two feet by three
on staff and quite good enough to
add to the appearance of any school room.
1t is thought they will be presented to the
schools in formal way but the date has
not been selected. The scheme was sug-
gested to the post by Commander John
Wallace and he called On City Superin-
tendant Stevenson yesterday, who was
greatly pleased. Mr.. Stevenson was the
first to put the idea in practice in the state
of Ohio some years ago and quite natural
ly he was pleased to see the movement so
far under Roadway here.
Major Warner, of Kansas City, was the
first to suggest school room flags in the
Grand Army which led to many posts
taking hold of the matter promptly, The
post is in correspondence with him hoping
to secure his presence on Memorial day.
Should he accept the invitation it is
thought the schools viii be presented with
the flags ON that day. But the whole
matter so far is in somewhat of choatic
state but viii be singled out logically in
due time.

IMPROVEMENTS ON BUSINESS
STREETS.
Iron Water Mains on Hand for Douglas and
Progress of Improvements on
Business Streets.

The gas company is rushing the work of
making lasting and permanent connec-
tions with the main on Douglas avenue, as
preparatory to the paving. The work in
their line as estimated, can be completed
within ten days.
The water company Will bring up the
rear in the race of getting ready for paw
ing improvements. Yesterday six car
loads of iron main arrived from St. Louis
over the Frisco; which is the first material
of that kind received. According to the
superintendent the supply Of pipe is almost
certain to be as fast as can be handled to
best advantage in placing it. The work
on changing wooden mains for iron on the
avenue viii commence within few days,
possibly not later than Monday next. The
main will be ten and twelve inches in di-
ameter and it will take considerable time
to place it and make all the connections
desired
y letter from Mr.. r. F. Wilson, of Chi
cago, who has the contract for paving the
avenue with jasperite, states that it is
best not to commence work until gas and
water mains are ready to be covered with
the permanent improvements. The con-
tract, however, will compel them
to commence work within thirty
days and he hopes that the
work on underground improvements
will be rushed along as rapidly as possible
to make the avenue ready to receive the
pavement. Some of the cement and jasper
have been shipped and will be on hand for
use Just as soon as the underground i'm
provements will admit Of being covered
with pavement.
The asphalt work on Main street is get
ting along nicely, the east half of the street
being paved from Third to English. The
concrete work is being rushed along quite
rapidly and two more days will probably
find this work on South Main
completed They will continue the work
up on the west side of the street and have
the leading business blocks completed as
possible and the inconvenience dispensed
with.
As the paving is completed the street
force is filling the ditch between the paw
ing and the street car track which enables
the street to be used by teams with little
trouble. This only temporary and the
Electric railway company will follow closely
with work putting down track and
paving between the rails. This viii leave
a strip one foot wide outside the tracks to
be paved by the city. So it would appear
that it will take many long weeks yet be
fore Main street and Douglas avenue will
be improved in every department. Some
of the property owners and business men
af times become quite impatient over the
apparently needless work of digging up
the streets, impeding travel with a red
lantern chorus at night. They, however,
are quite confident that the improvements
will be completed very soon and Wichita
can not only boast of having TWO streets
doing more business than any other two
streets in the state, but can rightfully
boast of having two of the incest business
streets to be found anywhere in the west
