1T is becoming more apparent daily tina
some important step affecting the none
tary status of silver is to be taken by the
present congress. John j. Knox, comp
troller of the currency under President
Hayes, has an elaborate proposition tc
submit to congress, making silver the
basis of national bank circulation; but it,
probable effect would be to abolish the
present system of coinage and in the end
greatly lnjure the standing OF the white
metal. Secretary Window also has a sill
yer bill about to beintroduced in congress,
which is reputed to bear the Endorsement
of President Harrison, but the fault west
ern men find with this is that it practi-
cally places in the hands of the secretary
the control of the market price of silver.
Under the circumstances it will all likely
result in a law forcing the coinage to
$4,000, 900 month, which will be entirely
satisfactory for the present.

THE SCHOOL FUND OUTRAGE.

The NEW MEXICAN has taken some
pains to consult several of the leading
lawyers in the territory on the subject OF
the manner OF handling the school funds
reasons for believing that the full amount
OF funds misappropriated out of the county
treasury can be recovered from the treas
urer and his bondsmen by suit. The so
called certificates issued in 1887 and 1888,
and upon which several thousand dollars
have recently been paid out of the school
funds, were absolutely not worth the paper
they were written on. At best their hold
ers could hope only to have them refunded
at the figure paid for them, % and so
cents on the dollar, as represented on their
face, and even this was extremely doubt
lul, for it long ago became notorious that
they We're issued without warrant of law i.
That their payment was brought about by
collusion there appears to be no question,
else how comes it that only chosen few
of the holders of this class of paper gol
their grip on the county's school funds at
the very nick of time?
The official responsibility for this state
OF affairs would seem to lie largely with
the treasurer, together with the county
school superintendent. The former s
liability to the tax payers is matter for
the courts to decide, but had the latter
complied with the provisions of the law
and apportioned the funds in the treasury
| to the various school districts for their
use during the coming year, as the law
| plainly directs he should, no such scan
dial as the one complained of could pos
| sibly have come about. The law stipu-
iates the manner of drawing school funds
from the treasury; it must be done by
| the treasurers of the various districts
upon the order of the county school
superintendent. The officers are un'
questionably aware of this; nevertheless:
they have permitted the outrage, and the
county must suffer no inconsiderable dam
aye by it, both directly and indirectly.

A LOCK BOTH WAYS

1t comes natural tor one 10 look ahead
at this season of the year. Who can
speculate on New Mexico's future even for
so short period as one year hence With
out experiencing some qualification over
what it is certain to bring forth? On the
whole the past year has been very
satisfactory one. We are SO prone to
speak OF dull times" that we come to
take pessimistic view OF all things; but
after all it is clear that New Mexlco's adj
vancement in the twelve months just
past has been very great. Almost every
home interest has prospered, notwitstand,
ing the unprecedented drouth of the
summer. Important improvements have
been made in every town and city. Many
extensive mine and realty sales have
been negotiated. Probably double as
much land has been entered as in the pre-.
vious two years. Some forty-odd differ
ent irrigation and water storage enter.
plises, most of them bona fide business
affairs, have been Incorporated. The I'M
| developed resources of our territory have
been brought to the attention Of moneyed
men as never before, and capital has be-
gun to flow in with a confluence never
before felt In the increase of popula
ton the territory will also make a very
favorable showing.
AS for the twelve months ahead of us,
there is certa inly enough in sight to IN
spire still greater confidence. Within
the next year the completion of many ir-
rigation systems now under way will
work decided change for the better,
supplying water for the cultivation OF
many thousands of farms. The same
period will see several extensive railway
projects in process of construction, and
the natural result will be to wonderfully
stimulate the mining industry, to say
nothing OF stimulating the other various
dependent business enterprises.
1t is not claiming any too much to say
that New Mexico possesses natural adj
vantages in point OF climate, soil, water,
richness and variety of mineral deposits,
products of the farm and orchard, which
are far superior to any of her neighboring
commonwea Colorado, Kansas and
Texas are to-day great and prosperous
states, but New Mexco's native riches
when correspon@ingly developed will sur
pass them. Colorado output $50, 000, 600
from her mines last year. Kansas pro-
duced $50, 900, 900 bushels of corn and
80 Co., 900 bushels of wheat; Texas soil
yielded near,y 2,00O,000 bales of cotton
These figures stand as an augury of New
Mexco's future, for New Mexico has all
the elements OF wealth in those great
states and more.

is at the open door of the grandest boom
in her history. Her mines are showing
up better than in any previous years, i'm

Electric Light for Oakland.

Mr.. Thomas, of Richmond, Va, is
at present in Oakland considering
the advisability of establishing an
electric light plant here. The prob
able cost will be $4,000 and the idea
is to canvass the citv and secure as
MANY subscribers for one share of
stock each as possible, and if any
shares then remain unsold parties
desiring to invest larger sums will
have the option of taking as manv
as they NAV desire. The par value
of the shares will likely be $40.
We hope our people will encour-
age this enterprise. The advantages
to accrue to the citv will be great
and another important step thereby
be taken towards building up OAK
land and increasing its prosperity
and it will be an additional induce
ment to outsiders to locate here.
