A victory for the Louisiana Lottery.

New ORLEANS, April 27.-At the last ses-
sion of the legislature John A Morris and
associates made application for renewal
of the Louisiana lottery charter for twenty
five years, offering to pay the state more
than million dollars per annum for the
privilege. A bill embodying the amend
ments was adopted by two-thirds vote of
the legislature and by courtesy copy of
the act was sent to Governor Nichols, who
vetoed it, although friends to the measure
argued he had no right to do so under the
constitution. Secretary of State Paving
refused to promulgate the act. Morris &
Co. applied for mandamus compelling
him to promulgate the proposed constitu-
tional amendments to be voted on by the
people at the next general election. The
district court o-day rendered a decision in
favor of the lottery company, Judge Wat
kins reading the opinion as the organ of the
court, Chief Bermudezz and Associate Jus
tice McEnery concurring. Each read opin-
ions, while Associate Justices Fenner and

away. The strikers presented a demand
for an advance of 10 per cent in wages,

other car works to join them but it is moi
likely they will be successful. The strlk

Irrigated Farms In New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, April pa census bull
letin on the subject of irrigation in New
Mexico shows that in that territory there
are 3,0s5 farms irrigated out of a total
number OF 4,174, not including those of the
pueblo Indians. The average first cost OF
water right is 1888 per acre and the cost of
the land, cost of preparing it for cultiva-
ton, ETC., brings the average cost to farm
ers to 1854 per acre. The estimated pres
ent value of irrigated farms, including i'm
provements, averages S50S9 per acre,
showing an apparent profit, less cost of
buildings, of 1924 per acre. Comparing
the average annual expense for water at
S1.54 per acre with the average annual
value of productions, which is SIPS per
acre, it appears the average annual return
per acre is S11.26. Two per cent of the
farmers own over one-ffth of the produc-
tive land, excluding non-irrigated areas.

The Vatican View of Schools in America.

ROME, April IA correspondent of the
Associated Press to-day had a talk with a
high ecclesiastical parsonage acquainted
with the papal views on the school ques-
ton in the United States. He said, in part {:
What seems necessary here from the
Catholic point of view, is moderation and
not precipitation. The general course to
be pursued, however, is quite manifest
The Catholics in America should have pa
rochial schools in all parishes where it is pos
slble and where there's sufficient means to
render them equal to the public schools
Where it is impossible to do this, schools
should be established in which the cate
chism may be taught, or the state should
be persuaded to permit instruction in the
catech;sm outside of the hours regularly
appointed for ordinary school subjects as
is done IN Germany. One thing is abso-
lutely obligatory: that is, to found no pa
rochial schools unless they can be put on a
level with those of the state. At present
the Catholics in the United States cannot
rival the state schools as they have not
sufficient resources. The Vatican has con-
tidence in the zeal and tact of the hier-
archy in America

tary topic. He had two copies prepared
and sent one to Won Moltke and one to Won
Waldersee, saying it was the work of
young military officer, asking their opinion.
Won MoltkeI replied cruising the opinions
expressed in the essay sharply. though
privately warned it was the work of the
Emperor: Won Waldersee, with the same
information, praised the essay effusiyely !:
but the Emperor, discovering the reason
was greatly angered, especially as the JUS.
tice OF Won Moltke's criticism appealed to
his intelligence. This incident gave the
first shake to the Emperor's confidence in
Won Waldersee and prevented him from be-
coming the successor of Bismarck. When
last summer the Emperor visited Won
Moltke at Crewsin, Won Moltke's relatives
wanted big display. Won Moltke refused
and made the reception extremely simple
for which the Emperor cordially thanked
him.
