OUR SCHOOL LAWS.

A vigorous effort Is to be made by the
friends Of progress at the coming session
OF the legislature to secure such amend
ments to orr public school law as will
put New Mexico abreast with the spirit
of the age in her provisions for popular
The paHsage Of the preseuu .u", s..,
years ago, was long step in the right
direction, and this act, with few slight
amendments, would be as good a law as
we could have. In its general features it
is moulded after the school laws OF some
OF the most progressive states in the
union, but the legislature which had
the good judgment to pass it did not have
courage enough to provide for its en-
forcement, and emasculated the bill by
striking out its most important clause
that 10 provide sufficient revenue. Al
ter declaring i'll favor OF good system
OF common schools, the Legislature rem
dered the establishment OF such sys-
tenn practically Impossible by refusing to
provide for the revenue necessary to put
it in operation. And this is the point
which deserves special attention at the
coming session. There are several par
ticulars wherein the law should be
amended, but the one OF most vital inn
portance and more necessary than all
others combined, is the one to permit
school districts to levy special taxes for
their own use--not only to defray cur
rent expenses, but to pay interest on
bonds issued to build school houses.
And the provision sheuld be very liberal.
1t will be necessary, OF course, for the law
to fix the maximum per cent that may
be levied by the district in any one year,
but this limit should be placed high
enough to permit any district in the terri.

NASTY DESERT LAND,

The nasty desert land job for spend
ing the money OF farmers in making
competition for them" is the language
used by the st. Louis Republic 10 refer
ence to President Harrison's suggestions
to congress on the subject OF retaining
arid lands. la attempting to arraign the
farmer element OF the east against the
section that must have irrigation to be
successful, the Republic, great journal
i'll many respects, is engaged in mighty
small business. There was at one time
a big Job back OF the origina! PROPOSE
ton, no doubt, for the reclamation of
arid lands according to Major PoWell's
impracticable plan and Democratic
congress in 1888 backed it up heart and
soul but tho people of the arid region
discovered the fraud, appealed to Re-
publican congress to throttle it, and that ap-
peal was manfully responded to, notwith-
standing the frantic efforts OF number
OF Democratic congressman to perpetrate
the original pice of jobbery. The arid
west does not ask the government to
spend the money Of farmers in this work,
although it could DO quite as properly ex-
pended thus as for the Improvement"
OF Willow creek in Missouri or Peach
Tree Run in Indiana. 1t is not intended
to raid tbs public treasury for this pur-
pose now that the original Democratic
job has met its death. 1t is simply a
reasonable demand that the states and
territories interested he allowed to attend
to their own affairs, without the inter
ference OF Major Powell and his hungry
lobby; he permitted to exercise some
control over and enjoy the benefits OF the
sale of the vast bodies OF public land,
now practically worthless, but which,
under President Harrison's suggestions,
can be made the source OF splendid
revenue for the government.

An Illinois Financial Institution
Robbed OF $4,000.
SALEM, ILL.,, Feb. 14.-The greatest
excitement prevails here over the rob-
berry of the Salem National bank last
night. The cracksmen got in the neigh
borhood OF $4,000 in cash ana securi-
ties. The vault of the bank in which
the safe is located was thought to be Sc
cure, but it looks as though the rob-
berS found little trouble in breaking
into it. The safe proper was Cracked"
in the old-faShiOned way, by the drilling
of holes and the use of gunpoWder and
fuse. The safe was badly wrecked.
The money taken was mostly in bills.
The robbers must have been in great
hurry, as they left quantity of gold
pieces scattered on the floor of the vault
and overlooked at least $1,000 in cur
rency and securities. All was confu-
sion at the bank this morning, with
the bursted safe and shattered
vault, papers. checks, etc, scattered
about and hundreds of depositors de-
handing admission to ascertain the
amount taken by the robbers. A notice
signed by President Martin and Cashier
Marshall was posted on the bank win
dow this afternoon announcing that the
actual loss in cash would not exceed
$4,000 and that the bank would be open
for business to morrow. This had the
effect of dispensing the crowds. Off

DDS of Shippino Cattle.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 14.-The
interstate commission to-day,in an opin-
ion by Chairman Cooley, rendered it's
decision in the case of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific Railroad COM
pany against the Chicago g Alton Rail-
road company, dismiSsing the COM
plant. The case is controversy be-
tween two railroad companies parties to
this suit, involving the right of the
complainant company to be protected in
its method of shipping cattle from
points west of Kansas City billed
through to Chicago and allowing thu m
to be held over at Kansas City for an
indefinite time to try the market there.
and then if reshipped either the same
cattle or other substituted i'm their
place at the through rate originally
agreed upon that the defendant
company shall have no right to take
the reshipment from Kansas City to
Chicago at the proportion rate of the
commission held as follows: Where
property is to be transported by rail by
continued and uninterrupted carriage
from one station to another, there may
be sound and legal reasons for making a
charge for the through transportation
which is less than the sum of the locals
for the transportation of like property
from point to point between such sta
tons. But where the property is billed
from one station to another with the
understanding that it is to be unloaded
at an intermediate station, and that
whether it shall he reloaded for further
carriage will depend upon the volition
of the shipper or Of any one who may
have become purchaser, the case does
not fall within the reach of governing
rates on through transportation, and the
CARRIERS not at such intermediate points
entitled to have the carriage protected
as through shipment as against COM
petitors.

electric convention adjourned to-day
all the delegates except Allen v. Gar
rett made for their trains. MIR. Garrett
will remain in the city week or so to
prosecute certain railway ticket brokers
of this city for forgery. He has discov-
cred that his name has been forged on
large numbers OF return trip tickets
purchased in the East and the West at
the excursion rate paid by the dele
gates. The fOrgerieS came about in this
manner. The railroads sold to the
delegates first-clasS tickets to Kansas

panied by certificate which.
when signed by the secretary of
the association. entitled the holder
to reduced rate return ticket, the re-
duction making the round trip only two
thirds of the full fare. Ticket brokers
in the East and West bought large
quantities of these tickets and forwarded
the certificates to their Kansas City
correspondents. The brokers here at
tempted to procure the signature of the
associations secretary, as required by
the railroads, but Mr.. Garrett refused
to sign them. The brokers offered
brides. Mr.. Garrett Indignantly showed
them the door. Then the brokers forged
his signature. Mr.. Garrett has been
accommodating evidence against the
forgers and says he has sufficient to con-
Wet number of them. He will remain
week or so to push the matter.

the Western Freight association that it
would Immediately put into effect a
scale of rates from Chicago to Sioux

This was being discussed at the hour Of
