The status of the old graveyard, as
understood by the people through the
recent action of the Council, diff
fers very materially from that shown
on page 81, paragraph IL, chapter 4,
title "Nuisances," subtitle cold
Graveyard" Code of Ordinances.
We have seen what the law officer of
the Corporation has said also John l..
Porter. Now, let us look at the
authority quoted:
1t shall not be lawful for any person or per-
sons to make any interment or to bury any
dead body in the "Old Graveyard" located
on the northern side of Main street in the
northwestern section of the town OF Frost
burg, and any person so offending shall, upon
conviction, be fined not less than twenty
dollars nor more than fifty dollars for each
offense proVided nothing herein contained
shall apply to those having private enclosed
lots in the said graveyard after they have
obtained permission in writing from the
Bailiff to make interments in said lots. And
it shall be the duty of said Bailff before
granting any permits hereunder to examine
said lots to see if there be sufficient room for
interment therein.
1t will be noticed by the careful
reader that it is unlawful for anybody
"to bury any dead body in the old
graveyard"
But some are excepted. Who !?
"Those having prirate enclosed lots
And even these cannot inter in their
own private lots if the Bailiff deter
mines there is insufficient room
therein.
With all this exclusion, if the old
graveyard be not private property we
would like to know what it is.
There is, therefore, no escape from
the fact that it is private property
the property of those exclusively whose
dead are buried there.
In fencing it up and thus pledging
the town henceforth to take care of it,
the Council has taken the money of
disinterested people and misappro-
priated 1t. Worse still, the Council
has set precedent for the misappro-
priation to be perpetuated world with
out end.
And yet-shame on the idiotic sug-
gestion-we are told that "the thanks
of the people of Frostburg are due the
Council for this act" or words to that
effect.
There have been two funny things
credited to the people of Frostburg
lately, of which they are guiltless:
l, A wish to pay $1,000 for the old
water plant more than double its ac-
tual value.
2, Gratitude to the Council for tax
ing their money to protect grave
yard whose ground is free to nobody
but a very few private parties, and
under certain circumstances not free
to them.

Pearls Before Swine.

The Keyser Tribune, as we all know
has arrived on numerous occasions to
the conclusion that teachers are brutes
-ovefgrown brutes. There is no mis-
take about this. 1t can be proven be-
yond controversy.
But in accounting for the passage
of the resolution of the Mineral coun-
ty institute, published two weeks ago,
it describes the brutes of that organ
ization as follows, the italics being
the JOURNALIST:
Nine out of ten of these teachers have re-
ceived all their knowledge of teaching under
certificates; are aged anywhere between II
and 80; the most of them are immature girls, who
know very little about human nature.
And, as though this were not
enough, an apostle of the veal theory
of moral suasion comes to the Iribune'S
aid in letter in which he describes
the vote as below:
The county superindent led the vote with
one big aye and we heard one or two ayes from
some little delicate female teachers who are do
not think would be able to mield the big hickory
rod even if thew were so unfortunate as to be
persuaded to use it.
And this is the paper that wants
argument to prove that it is wrong !!
This is the paper that throws ont this
challenge:
Ifany virtue lies in the administration of
stripes to make our schools more efficient,
why don't these sapient teachers, by some
tenable argument, showit?
What sort of argument" does the
Tribune expect from teachers who
were "brutes" yesterday and 'im-
mature girls" to-day?
We trust the teachers of Mineral
county will take no pains to provide
the Tribune with argument" Even
though the most valuable of all tutors,
experience, has furnished them with
tones of incontestable proofs, they
would count for nothing in a realm
where the goody-goodiness of a mod
ern fad roams fancy free.
No, the Tribune does not recognize
argument" even as new acquaint-
ance.
For it was only two weeks ago, for
instance, we called attention to its
battered condition after attempting
to ''hold the right of way against a
locomotive"
Last week it turned its baby face to
the wall and whined-"yer were run
over yerself ~
Hence, a reason why a boy should
be chastised would be with the Tribune
an argument" why he should be pet
ted, caressed, Rugged, kissed and coax
ed up head.

The Valley Female College is located
in one of the finest old towns in the

environment could not be better, while
the equipment, curriculum and man

HOW DO THE TAX PAYERS OF SANTA Z


SHERIFF AND COLLECTOR HARVEY
WurEHuL, Of Grant county, on yestel-
day paid into the territorial treasury a
little over $4,000 OF territorial funds, 1t
will be remembered that he was indicted
in his county few days ago for not pay,
ingfunds over as the law requires In
this case the indictments have done good
so far. The territorial auditor, Hon.
Trinidad Alarid insisted upon Il settle
ment in strict accordance with the law,
and the sheriff paid over the sum men
toned and says he will pay the remainder
Of the funds, amounting to $1,000, over
shortly. In the mean time the sheriff
and collector Of this county has paid over
no funds collected bv him since February
- last, although the law plainly directs
that such should be done on the 10th OF
every month, and although it is an es-
tabished fact that large sum Of money
has been collected by him since that date,
that ought to have been turned over to
the territorial and county treasurers. How
do the tax payers of this county like this
way OF doing business?

The people of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1855 to 1889, when tn,
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost of running the courts
was $lG0,000 per year; the people mus
not forget that, owing to wise and benz
ncIal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto Of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve'
land, and owing to q just and honest ad.
ministration Of the courts, the entire ex.
pense OF their administration for the first
dwelve months Of the present Republican
.egme, amounted to only 100000, il
which sum there is included an estimate
OF deficiency in the pay OF jurors, ETC.
of about 100000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
OF New Mexico were Systematically anC
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges anc
dishonest court officials.

THE SILVER LAW HELPS ALL AROUND
The passage of the silver law and the
consequent increase in the value of that
metal all over the world is shown by
Edward J. Peters, Washington editor
and statistician of note, to be having a
very disastrous effect upon the production
OF grain for export in Russia, India and
other foreign countries whose breadstutls
come into direct competition abroad with
the American farmers products. Mr..
Peters shows that Russia, being one Of
the countries which have single silver
standard per monetary unit, the silver
rouble is naturally sharing the advance
in value of silver bullion. The result
must be that if Russian grain should
bring only the old prices in Great Britain,
Belgium, France and elsewhere in west
ern Europe, the producer, who would
under the circumstances get largel Y re-
duced prices in roubles without having a
corresponding reduction in his expense,
would find it hard to make ends meet in
the business OF raising grain for exporta-
ton. In those countries, therefore, the
production of gram for export will ma
terially diminish in the coming years and
OF course American exports will he called
upon to make up the deficiency. Accord
ingly, it is probable that the west in max
ing its bold fight for silver has done every
American farmer lasting and substan-
tial favor

Mr., CHILDERS' ELIMINATION AGAINST
STATEHOOD,

NH, UHlLDERS FULMlNAIIUN AGAINST
STATEHOOD,
Having Illuminated q manifesto against
the adoption of the constitution, against
the people of New Mexico and against
the best interests OF this commonwealth,
the chairman Of the Democratic central
committee, now considers himself eyi-
IDENTITY very great man. His manifesto
is very labored thing, based entirely
upon false assumptions and simply shows
the man S political venom and bitterness
revealing beyond doubt the fact, that
Chagrin and extreme partisanship had
hold of him when he wrote the thing,
Patriotic and good citizens, who read
it, will see the object OF the manifesto SC
plainly that they will become disgusteG
and will give it ne further attention. Mr.
Childers ought not to have allowed his
hot southern blood and his strong politi-
cal feeling to have controlled him so en-
tirely in so important a matter as this
But then he knows he has a poor cause
to defend and we can not very much
blame him for being angry and disguised
at the situation. But as it is largely oI
his own making, We presume he thought
it best to use birthstone and sulphur.
