DEMAND OF UNFORTUNATES.
New Mexico's Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Suggestions for their Education.

Owing to the shiftless policy that has
characterized legislation relating to the
territorial school for the deaf and dumb,
the superintendent Of this worthy strug-
Cling institution has had to turn away
some fifteen persons of late who have
made application from various parts OF
the territory to gain knowledge through
the medium OF this school. Within q
few months applications from eight young
men and women who are blind have
b:en received, and no heed could be
taken OF them. This has suggested that
the deaf and dumb school could very wise
ly be 80 arranged in future as to provide
for education OF that most unfortunate
class of New Mexico's psople-the blind.
Both economy and common sense up
port this suggestion. The legislature can
well afford to appropriate the sun of
$1,000 year for the education Of
the deaf and dumb and $4,000 a
year for the blind. This would be,
it is thought, ample to establish and
meet the present needs of this afflicted
class of New Mexico citizens all poor
people and worthy of just recognition.
Utah has $35 900 building and appro-
PIRATES $4,000 a year for educating its
deaf and dumb, having thirty pupils.
The state of Washington is educating
thirty-tive deaf pupils and fifteen blind
persons and appropr,ates $4,000 year
for the purpose, the educatlonsI work be-
ing carried on in state building costing
$4,000. Other states and territories do
equally as much.
Supt Laeson thinks some economical
arrangement could be made for erecting
a suitable building if the convict larbor
can be authorized to supply the brick and
lay the same in the wall, as he has assu-
RANGES that the citizensh here will donate
ample grounds to the territory for this
purpose.

could not tell how the vote would stand.
There are very few Democrats who

are many who would not vote for it last

An Outside View Of 1t.

Hon. J. B. Mayo is in receipt Of con-
gratulstory letter from one of his busi'
ness associates, a mining investor OF
Chicago in which the writer says anent
the recent action Of the house:
"Allow me to put my heartiest tones
into the halleluiah at your release from
political contamination. 1t ought to be
great honor to be chosen to make the
laws for the government Of the people,
and it would be if the body polite could
be purged of is ulcers, but when or how
this purification can be brought about
seems to be q question not likely to be
solved soon. The principles involved in
your overthrow will someday either re-
quire vindication or else our Republican
form Of government will fail. Which
shall it be-? Just think of the degreda-
ton OF men who can make business
Of ward and local politics, passing
through all the miserable low cunning,
trickery and rascality connected with it,
and still preserve relish for it. l am
not surprised that four days is enough of
it for you, although you have but mild
experience, especially since you we're not
put to the test Of electioneering and log
rolling, usually resorted to-"

Water Enterprises.

While the outlook for an abundant sup
ply Of water during the coming spring
and summer is excellent, still, if Santa
Fe's fruit and garden truck industry is to
prosper and grow, better and more
permanent supply of water must be pro-
yided. The water is in sight, "but must
be developed 1t isn't a question of
money with the consumer, therefore large
profits are in it. Let those having the
capital city's future at stake, begin moving
in the premises.
San Juan county has four rather ex-
tensive irrigation enterprises in course OF
completion.
After all it appears to be yet an open
question as to whether that long prom
lsed Rio Grande reservoir scheme in
which Albuquerque is interested, is going
TO be pushed to completion. Some seri-
GUS question has arisen as to whether it
is feasible or not. w. G. Wallis and
Pedro A. Simpson of the Rio Grande
Colonization and Irrigation company, &C.
companied by Perfeclo Arnijo, Henry
and Edward Cooper and hydraulic ex-
pert engineer from Denver named Ander-
son are now IN camp near Pena Blanca
Ito determine how the water can be got
successfully across the Gslisteo and on to
the mesa"
The new irrigation ditch the Maxwell
land grant is taking out will be an i'm
portant factor in their already great Yer
mejo system. 1t is taken out Of the river
about half mile south of M. E. Danes
residence just below the ford and will
supply all the lower reservoirs, reclaim
ing about $4,000 acres of arid lands. Thus
the future prosperity OF Colfax county is
tending toward assured success.
Springer is very proud of the fact that
the first artesian water in New Mexico
was developed there, and wants Roswell
to make note OF it. However, Roswell
will soon have two or more wells spout
ing. On with the good work. ,
