THE CITIZENS INDIGNANT-A SOCIAL

Of the board, Prof. Cornish said,
and by orders of the Commission

were preferred to fill vacancies in

close of the school term for a money
consideration has become prevail

and receive for so doing pay from
the Normal graduates who could
not be employed except by pur-
chasing the vacancy
Prof, Cornish then had the secre-
tary Of the board read a resolution

teacher who encourage this action
by receiving compensation should
not be allowed to resign, but be
dismissed.
The members Of the board look
ed astonlshed and were evidently
taken by surprise, but without
discussion the matter was referred
to the committee on rules.
This action was followed by a
communication from the same gen
tleman which said that some teach.
ers were using their positions mere
ly as places of convenience. They
secured leaves of absence and went
into other fields for the purpose of
making more money and not with
the view of better fitting themselves
for their duties. This, too, was

TRUSTEE CORNISH Is
RIGHT.

The resolutions offered in the
board of trustees of the public
schools last Tnesaas eroeiag, hg.
Mr.. Cornish trustee of thee egg e.e =
school division, are entitled to the
highest o. Moderation and should
be enforced. 1t has been but few
years since DIR. +. j. Shadd and
others made an effort to force
certain colored trustees to appoint
one of the Normal school gradu-
ates who had been kept out because
she had no social influence. 1t is,
indeed, very hard on poor parents
who labor in the wash tub from
year in and ye out to educate
their daughters for higher ad-
vaucement in life aud when an
opportunity is offered them to
better their condition, their hopes
and aspirations are blighted by the
appointment of females who may
have a little social influence.
This is perm clous system that
taxpayers and citizens will nc
longer tolerate. Why should our
poor girls be ignored be
cause they are not fortunate
enough to be classed among this
social clique that has been the
ruination of our public school
system? The board should adopt
Mr.. Cornish's resolution and an
investigation ordered at ance.
The BEE will furnish certain
evidence If necessary.

PROF. GREGORY VINDICAT.
ED.

As the BEE predicted last week
that Prof. j. NJ. Gregory, one of
the trustees of the public schools,
would be indicated and convince
the world that he was vic
tim of conspiracy, has at last been
verified. Out OF the great number
of witnesses that have testified
not one knew anything to the
detriment of this distinguished
scholar of whom the coIored race
is proud. The most surprising
thing of the whole business and a
mockery on justice and morality
is, that Bill Smith, Henry johnson
and Daniel Murry are the jury in
the case and the only protection
that Prof Gregory had in the in
vestigation was, that ali the testi-
mony was reported in short hand
and there is no going behind the
returns. At the time all three of
these lnen were applicants for the
trusteeship, the editor of this pa

The health of the District still
tends to improvement, nOtwith-
standing the unfavOrable weather

ly in the extreme II. W., quarter
of the city and In the "County,"
There were only SO deI hs as
compared with 164 deaths in the
corresponding week of last June.
The increase of 6 over the previous
week may be attributed to excep-
ito al cases. four of which occur
red through violence by accident
and suicide.
Owing to the vigilant and strict
enforcement of the law OF Con-
gress, the spre I'd of scarlet fever
and diptheria throughout the Dis
trict has been so far limited that
one death from diptheria aud not
one from scarlet fever was report
ed, while the general subsidence
of the contagious diseases is a
gratifying phase of the sanitary

CLARA TO LOUISE.

Dear Louise
The topic of the household t4,s
week is the marriage OF Miss ID.
which will take place in July.
Some says it will never be. The
young lady has a gentleman ad-
mirer here who seems IS II he
would give his eyes for her, but
the Reading, Pa, gentleman is
her preference. I was told that q
lady sent letter to the city admir-
er of Miss H., warning bim that
his love was in vain and if he
would turn his affections toward
her they would all be reciproeatc
ed. | know you will be surprised
to know that this was married
woman.
x*x
Do you think 1t is right for a
husband to buy all, of his wife's
cloths? | was told by lady that
her husband never gave her five
dollars in his life and they have
been married four years, still he
gives her everything she wants in
eatables and wearing apparels he
suits himself only and gives her
one dress a year and that one be
buys. Such a husband is not worth
having. A man does not know the
needs of a woman and if he is
good enough to buy clothing for
bis wife he should always keep her
in spending change. How can a
woman make home look tasteful
with tides. lamberquins, etc, ex-
cept she has a little money? A
man doesn't thiHk of the little
choice ornaments to make his
home look beautiful. After he has
been toiling all day, how pleasant
it is for him to come home and
meet a loving wife to show him
the choice ornaments she has
made, the means of the little
spending change be gave her. Ex-
cept girls can get husbands that
know the needs of a woman my
advice to them is, not to get mar
ried. 1t is far better to take care
of one than two.
&*x
[ agree with Ou in reference to
the Gregory matter Who wouldn't
borrow $4,000 if they could? Ah!
Louise, Jealousy is green eyed
monster it will sting you to death
if 1t can. The great fault with our
race is they are so jealous. AS
soon as a man gets a little ahead
his so-called best friends are try
ing to pull him back. Our race
will never make q nation until
t. ere Is more unity for in union
there Is strength. | feel assure
that Prof. Gregory will come out
victorious.

THE DEMAND ON The INCREASE.

THAT the demand for western lands
has not in the least abated is demonstra-
ted by the rush which the southern
border of Kansas is witnessing to-day.
The Sac and Fox Indian reservation is
opened to settlers to-day by order Of the
president, the final step in the long pend
ing negotiations between those Indians
and Uncle Sam, and the stirring scenes
that characterized the opening of Okla
homa are there again being enacted.
Since the slump in the worlds finances
last November and the consequent cessa-
ton of railway construction it has been
thought by many that it would be long
time before the early days OF Oklahoma
would be duplicated, but this days trans
actions demonstrate the contrary. The
good times coming for the southwest are
steadily on the move.

The LAND COURT.

The first session of the land court will
be held in Santa Fe on the LIST day of De-
cember coming. 1t is not expected that
very much business will be done at this
first session, as U. S. Attorney Reynolds
will not be ready to proceed on behalf OF
the government. Col. Reynolds is now
in Washington busily engaged preparing
cases and studying their conditions and
merits. During the summer sessions OF
the coming year, however, the court will
get down to business, actual business.
The final disposition Of the land grant
matters, one way or another, as long as
the disposition is final, means much, very
much to New Mexico. AS soon as that
is accomplished the territory will astound
the people OF this country in the strides
it will make toward everything that goes
to make up rich, powerful and prosper
GUS commonwealth.

assembled Democratic bosses that the peo-
pie did not want statehood and that the

bosses needed not his say so, hence he

other boss was put in his place. We

In New Mexico the cities of Albuquerque
and Las Vegas each have commercial
club; these organizations are proving Of
great benefit to those towns, specially has
this been and is this the case to-day
with the commercial club at Albuquerque.
An effort is being made in this city by a
number of business men having the adj
vancement and interests of the city at
heart to organize such club; but the
work is slow and seems to be uphill work !;
there is too much old fogyism and too
much local jealousy around evidently I'M
i'll these disappear and a new spirit of

ance. Let Us hope that this much to be
desired change will be brought about

in the action of former congresses in

A Good Word for Santa Fe.

Santa Fe is vastly superior in every re-
spect to Los Angeles as place for the
headquarters of the department. 1t is
much more accessible to all these districts
in which Indian disturbances are liable to
occur and make the presence of troops
necessary; it is much more pleasant
place to live, and the post can be much
more economically maintained, but all
this doesn't have the weight of feather
in the scales against the fact that Cali
fornia has two senators and New Mexico's
hasn't any.-Albuquerque Citizen.
