Morris Frlel, William Dowden,
Amos Jones and Cuff Rawlings were
in John Williams saloon Tuesday.
Friel imagined he had been robbed
and so made complaint. Williams
locked up the quartette in the saloon
and went out to look for an officer
this on the ground that if anybody
had been robbed in his place he want
ed to find the robber. Constable
Owen England was found, brought
down to the saloon and rogues'
march to Squire Atkinson's Office was
extemporized and enacted in England's
most graceful style. In the Office the
constable was authorized to make
search. He went through Friel first
and found Friel's money on Friel.
The amount having been ascertained,
the magistrate levied thereon a sum
sufficient to defray the costs of the
proceeding, and the quartette liber-
ated to get drunken by degrees as the
evening shades came on.

No Mans Organ.

The Ledger is informed that the
JOURNALS editorials on the water
works question are written altogether
against Mr.. Haverstick's approval.
He believes he was right first, right
all through, and right now. With a
conscience clear, he is content to rest
work which no other man in Frost
burg would have done with the same
fidelity and at the same sacrifice of
personal comfort.
The JOURNAL joins in his faith, but
disagrees with his policy ofpermitting
Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart to keep
the town aroused by their yelping at
his heels.
This paper is, therefore, the organ
of its editor.
When it can no longer exercise that
function, it will yield the field to those
who are doing their level best to be-
come traitors to the town in which
they live.

-
1t is electricity on tear.
Rather, opposing positives contend
ing for the mastery.
1t takes two storms always to make
a cyclone-two opposing winds to
make whirlwind.
Electricity seeks equilibrium as
water seeks its level.
In its movements toward rest storms
are conceived, projected and ener-
gized.
These tend toward vacancy, or
where negative conditions exist. In
the rush to get there the positive forces
collide on the way, wrap round each
other and go spinning like top in
the general direction of the master
storm, doubly armed with power.
There never was cyclone unattend-
ed by lightning in more or less de-
gree, whose flashes are the guns of the
picket-lines telling that the clash of
the main bodies is at hand.
The scientist, therefore, views the
ruins marking the paths of rotatory
storms as natural incidents of the eff
fort the greatest material force in the
universe must at times make to right
itself.
For the same great power in its
gentle moods generates the bloom of
spring, develops the grains of summer
and lipens the fruits of autumn.
In all its operations, tempestuous
and mild, it mores IN circles. 1t exhibits
the changeless change of eternity, and
is mans only exemplary teacher of the
truth that when he dies he shall Give

1t feeds the storms of fire which
sweep the surface of the sun, yet tenn
pers the far out-leaping heat to his
rolling satellites.
1t vitalizes and propels the blood
through artery and vessel, and, with
its seat in the brain as the only con-
ceivable link between mind and matter,
makes of each man an epitome of the
universe.
Electricity at rest is cold, dark,
dead; its home is all space.
Electricity in motion is heat, light
and life; its home is in the sun, heart
and head. In all and through all it

The average loss to about 80 heads

1t makes US proud of human nature.
For this is an irrecoverable loss
The average debt Of each family in
Frostburg so far incurred on account
of the new water works is 500.
How the Ledger and "Pro Bono
Publico" foam at the mouth under it,
and how the females who sympathize
with them feel like giving up all hope
of life as condition worth living!
This makes us ashamed of human
nature!
For this debt of only sos for each
family is one that, unless crlminally
managed, will pay itself.

MR.. SPEAKER BURNS AND THE NEW
MEXICAN,

Upon arrival in the capital city Of this
great and glorious territory, the present
speaker OF that very and right honorable
body, the house OF representatives OF the
Goth legislrtive assembly of New Mexico,
upon casually meeting the editor of this
newspaper, with great suavity and very
kindly said, that he, Mr.. Speaker Burns,
was very decidedly opposed to the public
printing going to the New MEXICAN Print
ing company, and that if it should be ot-
tempted to keep the public printing with
the New MEXICAN, he, Mr.. Burns, would
and should take great pleasure in defeat
ing such move, by defeating appropria-
tons either there would be joint SEES
sion and a public printer elected by the
Democracy or there would be no appro-
priations. Tie edito, of this paper smiled
very kindly on the aforesaid Mr.. Burns,
said nothing, but gave the aforesaid Mr..
Burns neat, personal notice.
The New MEXICAN, in giving publicity
to this matter, desires to say, that it
will find itself very much mistaken as
to the manhood, sense Of duty and right,
independence and patriotism of the Re-
publican members Of the council of this
present assembly, if this implied threat
OF Mr.. Speaker Burns or the unseat-
ing OF legally and honestly elected Re-
publicans, no matter how many and how
great the Democratic majority, will have
the least effect upon these seven gentle
men. The New MEXICAN believes these
seven gentlemen, probably aided by
Mr.. Mills, Of San Miguel, will go on
doing their duty to the people, tc
their constituents, to their party
and 10 themselves in quiet, order
ly, statesmanlike and decent manner, re-
CARELESS OF all else. These seven gentle
men, we think, are here for no other pur
pose than to do their full duty, their whole
duty and nothing but their duty anc

honestly elected Republicans, withou
justice or right, will affect them not

it would go into history as II decided
success. There is but little to be done
to make the present school law as
good as any in the country, but that lit
tie is very important and although sew
eral attempts have been made within the
last four years, to secure such amend
ments as are absolutely necessary to adapt
our public school laws to the demands OF
the present age, all ouch attempts thus far
have proved unavailable; it is hoped, how
ever, that the gentlemen who compose
the present legislature will be able to COM
prehend the situation and the necessity
for such legislation as will put the terri
tory abreast of the age in the matter
of public education. New Mexico
has the reputation abroad of being
benighted community - one that
does not appreciate the value and import
ance of the modern public school system,
and to refute this Islander, and eliminate
this erroneous impression from the public
mind, is the first and most important
duty OF the present legislature. 1t is
therefore most earnestly to be hoped that
whatever else may be done or left undone,
the legislature will not adjourn without
making such amendments to our public
school law as will give us system Of
public schools throughout the territory
such as we shall not be obliged to apo(-
ogize for when compared with those Of
other sections of the United States. Al.

Needed Legislation.

Among the most important measures
to come before the present legislature
of New Mexico will be proposition to so
amend our public school law as to put
New Mexico in harmony with the rest of
the United Suites in regard to the mat.
ter of public education. While great
deal has been done in this regard during
the last five or six years, good deal re-

accomplish anything beyond making
provision for good modern public
