THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE CON

The Las Vegas Optic insinuates that
there was something wrong in the letting
of the contract Tor the erection OF the
buildings Of the agricultural college at Las
Cruces. The animus of the inslnuation
seems to be in the fact that kavanaugh,a
Las Vegas man and one OF the bidders, was
not successful and that the contract was
given to Bogardus, Las Cruces bidder,
as being the lowest and most responsible
bidder. The name OF Col. W. l.. Ryner-
son, one of the regents and secretary OF
the board, is being dragged into the in
situation by our Las Vegas contemporary.
However, there is absolutely nothing in
the insnuation and it is based upon moth
ing except tine statement of a disappoint-
ed bidder. The board OF regents consists
of Judge John r. McFie, Messrs. Numa
RAYMOND, Robert Black, J. \. Whitmore,
and COL w. l.. Rynerson. The bids
were opened in the presence OF the board
and of bidders, and there was no secrecy,
no iavoritism, no underworld in any
shape, way or manner about the business.
These facts have been furnished to the
NEW MEXICAN by highly respected and
honorable citizen, then and there present
and not a member OF the board OF regents.
The board acted in an honest, straight
forward and business like mannefs givine
full weight to and exercising full regarc
for the rights of the,severa bidders anc
the best interests OF the people. The
menu ers of the board are too we'll known
as honorable and high minded citizens tC
need any defence against any charge or in
situation Of the kind made. The New
MEXICAN simply gives facts as they exls
an d as they happened.

THE people Of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1885 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
offici ais, the cost of running the courts
was $l60, 900 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene-
hclal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto OF that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to JUS, and honest adj
ministration of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
swelve months of the present Republican
:egime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
oil deficiency in the pay Of jurors, ETC.,
OF about $1,000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
OF New Mexico were systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt judges and
dishonest court officials.

THE measure providing for the adjust

can affairs. The report therefore, that
comes from the Mexican capital through
the Times office that revolutionary
movement has commenced in the state
of Guanajuato, which is likely to over
throw the government, is probably false
Certainly the Times is wrong when it
says: Business is dull, and reaction
has set in against the buoyancy created
by credit. The latter is exhausted, and
the inevitable is at hand. This state
of things increases the feelings Of rest
lessness. The business situation gener-
ally was never so good as at present
throughout our sister republic, and all
reports agree that capital from abroad
was never SO freely invested there as at
this time. Especially are the mining,
manufacturing and railroad interests

THE official count in Oregon gives Her
man for member Of the SD congress l0,-
O47 majority. AS Congressman Herman
is strong protectionist and ran upon an
out and out protection platform, and as
he received about 5000 more Of majority
than he did in 1888, it can not be said
that the free traders are telling the truth
when they assert that the free-trade-help'
the British and European-manufacturer
sentiment is gaining Roadway in this
country. In truth, facts and events OF
the time seem to fully demonstrate that
the free traders are great rainbow chasers,
and in some instances most perfect liars.

TIE earnings Of 100 American railway

the entire mileage OF the country, $3.50
miles, show for the month of May, go
over the corresponding month of last

S13. 70 per cent, and it is pleasant to note
that the Santa Fe heads the list, accord

DURING the Democratic administration,
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses OF the
territorial prison amounted to $4,000 per
snnum. During the first year under
Republican regime, from March 4, 1889,
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number OF prisoners. were $4,000
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a
Republican administration is honest.

NO MORE SLIPS OF THE TONGUE, MR.,
JOSEPH.

During the past two campaigns Delegate
Joseph, in canvassing the territory, told
his audiences in several of the counties,
that the Democratic party was in favor OF
protecting wool and would enact law,
laying high duty on wool. In the light
of recent events and the fight made by
the Democrats in congress and out Of
congress on the wool tariff, let us hope,
however, that Delegate Joseph during his
next canvass will confne himself little
more to the truth, and tell the wool grow
ers and sheep raisers Of New Mexico, that
the Democratic party individually, col
lectively, in it's papers, in congress and in
its administration Of the affairs Of the
government, was and is opposed to tariff
on wool and to the protection Of the wool
interests Of this country. We will be
charitable and ascribe Delegate Joseph's
speeches during the 1885 and 1883 cam
paigns upon the wool and lead question
to ignorance and to slips OF the tongue

THE institution for educating the deaf
and dumb of this territory is certainly a
worthy one, entitled to the fostering care
of every one of our citizens. The prin-
cipal is a good man, earnest in his work,
and with the most limited accommoda-
tons has succeeded in producing results
truly remarkable. There are between
forty and fifty deaf and dumb children in
New Mexico who ought to be in training
in this school, but barely fourth of them
can be cared for as matters now stand
The New MEXICAN hopes to find the legiss'
lature which assemblies this winter doing
the fair thing by this class of unfortunates
among our citizens.

THE ATTEMPT TO BLACKMAIL PENIrENTIARY
EMPLOYEES.
The penitentiary investigation was
closed on May 20, last We publish the
report of that investigation in full here
with. The investigation lasted five days,
was taken in writing under oath. Not a
single charge was proven. The news
paper that first gave "mouth" to the
charges failed to put in appearance and
examine or cross examine any OF
the witnesses. The Chieftain,
after reading the charges, voiced
by several papers of this territory asked
for full, fair and thorough examination,
that if these charges were true to deal
with the offending officers, if not true to
exonorate them. This has been done,
and done by the Republican officers hav-
ing that duty to perform, in straightfor-
ward manner. The charges fall to the
ground; they are proven to be the vapor-
ings of ex-convicts, inspired by parties
outside of the penitentary that settles it.
The penitentiary under its present man
agement is sore thorn to the late 're-
form administration. This fact will ex-
plain why the charges were made.-So-
zorro Chieftain.
