The new law requiring a re-ex-

siderably disturbed the teachers
through out the state. Why teach
ers are required to be examined so

man is competent and qualified
to teach school this year that next
year he would be just as well suited
to teach and if he had any get up
about him the chances are he would
be better prepared and if a man is
prepared to teach in San Saba
County in this county in due oc-
cordance, with the State laws of
Texas, why is he not prepared to
teach in any county where tho sauna
State laws are in effect. There
must be q screw loose some where

are like some trustees, they getin-

but to make the teachers road mar
rover and rougher. Yes each Su
perentendant requires a re-exami-
nation of teachers and it would b.
Just as sensible for each governor
to require a new examination o
all the lawyers. But the Supt
must do something to be known
and the teachers must squandel

TEXAS.

Since the Honorable commits
sioners' court has, in in its kind
ness and liberality, given to the
county two bridges across the San
Saba river, in order that the peo-
pie living in the country may have
easy access to our beautiful town,
now why not so improve our
streets that the people who cross
the river may have clean streets
upon which to walk while attend
ing to their business affairs. It
is no more than just and right
that our town should keep pace
with the rest of the county in max
ing public improvements. We
are living in a progressive age,
among progressive people, and
unless something is done, some
extra effort is made, we will drift
as chunk down a stream. The
act of the commissioners court in
giving us these bridges is certain
ly laudable act, and an act to
which the rising generations of
San Saba county will turn with
pride, love and veneration. AL
though they, and we, may spend a
few dollars tax, yet the extra tax
will not drive any one to poverty.
Those who are worth it can LAY
their mite of tax; those who are
not wo,th it have no tax to pay,
h-.t -;1g o,st z:l-o 9a.-..o1-oisl part
of th question, we for the rest of
our IS, and they who will live
after Us will look with unspeaka-
bic pride upon these bridges span
ming one of the most beautiful
streams of water in west Texas;
natures own gift to San Saba
county. These bridges will stand
as monuments concentrating the
lives OF our commissioners, and
fifty years or more from now, those
then enjoying and utilizing these
public improvements, will no
doubt call up to their minds the
18th day of May, 1891, the day
upon which our honorable COM
missioners court deemed it advisa-
BILE and expedient that the San
Saba river should be bridged.
Now that the river is no longer
in the way, but people from any
where may have easy access to the
town. Why not SO improve our
town that 1t will be Gn attraction
for settlers. Our streets could be
properly cleaned and improved at
a little cost, little paint added to
the buildings of our town, would
certainly help considerably. Few
things are more conducive to the
prosperity of 2 town, than to have
visitors from distance say
abroad, that the citizens of that
town are a progressive and pros
porous people, filled with vim,
push, and energy. The people Of
this century, and especially so OF
Texas are filed with a natural in
kJTn i'm and energy; and love fol
development and prosperity. Why
not then prepare some attraction
and have some inducement to offel
settlers and home seekers. Be
sides the improvements of oul
streets, etc, are our own immedi
ate and mutual advantages and
conveniences. Why not the1
have an eye to these changes, anC

DR.. George B. Loring, whose
death has been recently announced,
disting uished himself most by his
efforts to raise the Commissioner
ship OF Agriculture to the dignity
Of a distinct department Of the
Government. His efforts were
only successful after his retire
ment as Commissioner, and he
never became what he always
hoped to be-a member OF tho
Presidents Cabinet. Born in
North Andover, Massachusetts, in
1917, and educated as physician
he turned his attention to politics
at an early age. Beginning as
Postmaster of Salem, he occupied
many distinguished State and
national offices, being one OF the
Centennial commissioners, Presi-
dent of the State Senate, Con-
gresham and CoInmlSSloneE Oh
Agriculture. In March Of last
year he was appointed Minister to
Portugal, but i'll health forced him
to resign, after occupying the post
only a little over a year During
his long life he was devoted to the
subject of practical aud scientific
agriculture and wrote Il number OF
pamphlets on this subject. Had
he carried through his scheme OF
making agriculture one of the de-
partments and been selected to
fill the position he would have N
doubleday made the position one
OF honor to himself and Of great
benefit to the nation.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

1t " uld be very unfortunate
thing il the people OF the United
States, especially such OF them as
lave it in their power to create
and direct public sentiment,
should, either through Indifference
or even less defensible feeling,
evince less interest in the success
OF the Columbian International
Exhibition than the people Of
FOL eign countries are doing. 1t
cannot justly be said that, thus
far, the newspaper press of this
country has exhibited too great a
measure of enthusiasm with re-
gard to this great undertaking, or
that they have done all that they
could to uphold and strengthen
the hands of those pubi;c-spirited
citizens OF the West, and Of Chi
cago especially, in their efforts to
MAKE the proposed Exposition OF
the worlds arts and sciences COM
mensurate with the dignity of the
great nation that has made itself
responsible for it, and that has in
yited the several countries Of the

motors would have it, to wit

advantage. 1t is time now as

A PREHISTORIC SHELTER.

From the Albuquerque Citizen.
When Cortez conquered Mexico
he was amazed at the wonderful
quantity of gold and silver with which
the temples and palaces were dec
Grated.
"Where did these metals come
from?" has been the inquiry ever
since, and archeologists have not sat
sfied themselves on this subject.
True old mines have from time to
time been discovered not only in old
but in New Mexico. but by what pro-
cess the precious metals were extract
ed from the ores by these primitive
people has not yet been known.
1t is certain that their process and
ours was not identical, beyond this
knowledge is at fault Now and then
stories of prehistoric smelters have
been told, but usually they have not
been authenticated. Two or three
years ago e. NJ. Wilson and Richard
Helen told Of finding what they be-
lieYed to be old smelters and showed
some Of the Stag, but it was so differ
ent to the ordinary smelter Stag that
but little attention was paid to it,
especially as the ore found in vicinity
in which it was found was refractory.
On Sunday last company of scien-
tific men outltted with all the
paraphernalia used in assaying met at
the home Of e. NJ. Wilson, the owner
of the old Montezuma mine, near Las
Placltas, in this county, to witness
the opening OF prehistoric smelter
that had been by accident discovered
near his residence. This smelter had
never been fired-was in the condition
left by its builders when some great
catastrophe overlook them, and it was
believed would lead to a solution OF
the methods by which the prehistoric
people of America were able to separ-
ate metals by unknown processes.
1t is confidently believed by those
who opened this smelter that the
secret is discovered or at least its key.
This furnace was not more than five
feet in height and not more than
three feet square, but was so arranged
internally that heat could be evenly
distributed TO every part bya system
of pipes, accurate diagram OF which
has been made. 1t is apparent that
by process believed to be on the eve
of disclosure the refractory metals
were made to furnish the flux after
which they, in the shape OF fumes,
were discharged.
On opening this furnace it was found
tc have been, to certain extent loot
ed without doubt by the guard who
had for weeks been standing sentinel
over the precious find. This looting
had been accomplished by a tunnel by
which the principal part Of the ore had
been extracted, but had left the
mechanism of the mine intact
If IL proves to be what the scientific
men who Investigated it believe, It
will revolutionize the mining Industry
of New Mexico,

ly increased during the year, but the
recent decline in the price OF lead may
prove disastrous to the mining inter
ests there.
The output Of Dona Ana county has
been very little outside of the Ben
nett-Stephenson mine in the Organ
mountains. This mine has been work.
ed during a portion Of the year, and
produced a large amount OF good
grade argentiferous ores.
Besides the counties mentioned.
Lincoln and Santa Fe counties pro
duced about million dollars worth OF
ore. The product Of Lincoln county
was nearly all gold, while Santa Fe
county produced gold, silver, lead and
copper The output Of other counties
in the territory was small The san
Pedro district in Santa Fe county pro-
duced much less ore during the year
than was expected, but preparations
have been made there for for more
extensive work in the future. The
Cash Entry mine near Cerillos has
been more extensively developed dur
ing the year than any other mine in
the territory, and it is believed that it
will become an important producer.

LETTER CARRIERS.
committee

There is an organization known as the
Letter Carriers National association. This
body recently held convention at Detroit,
the chief object being to equalize the sala-
ries of letter carriers, and to urge the de-
partment to place all carriers under the
operation of the civil service law Resolu-
tons were adopted looking to these ends.
Taking up the latter branch of the subject
matter first it is in order for THE HERALD
to state that only in postoffices where the
employees number fifty or more do the civil
service rules prevail. In all Offices where
the receipts exceed $40, 600, or in cities of not
fewer than 10000 population, the depart
ment gives free delivery service. At
the larger offices applications are required
at a stated time, of which public notice is
given, 10 pass an examination in the rudi-
mentary branches of education, and to pre-
sent a certificate of good character Upon
this examination is made up, strictly &C
cording to merit, a list of eligibles, and
when a vacancy occurs the postmaster
selects one man out of the three highest.
the other two names being returned for the
next vacancy, and so on. No Congressman
| is permitted to sign the certificate. We
may add that this system has been in vogue
number of years, and by its operation the
postal service has been immensely bene-
| fitted.
At the offices where the civil service
rules prevail carriers are divided into
three classes with respect to pay. The
frat receive 5000 each, the Sc cond $500, and
the third $1,000 per annum. according tc
length of service. Practically, they arc
SIM during good behavior. The post
master eau suspend only and report the
case to the superintendent or the free de-
livery system at Washington. In this way
faithful carriers become familiar witt
their duties, and are more and more eff
fcient every day.
At postoffices whe re the number of car
riers is less than fifty, they are appointed
at least, osteusibly, by the postmaster. fol-
quite often he has little voice in the mat
ter, being beholden to the influences tina,
secured him his place. With every change
of administration this class of letter car
riers are liable to be discharged, and new
and green set supplied, who in turn arr
subject to the same fluctuations. And now
we see why the National Association de
sires to have the civil service rules applied
to all offices. The demand is REASONABLE,
and just. 1t ought to be allowed
The question of equalization of salarie
is more difficult one We have not see,
detailed report of the proceedings, or tn

plan proposed, but presume the point ut is
sue relates to the application of salaries to
the hours of work, and we are afraid that
it will be found impossible to frame an act,
or section of the law of equal op era
ton. 1t has been tried at two or
three Congresses, and we remember that
Mr.. S. S. Cox was an ardent champion of
the change desired, but although soma
notifications of old sections have been
made in their interest the department has
generally found way to thwart the ex
pectations of the carriers as body.
The postal service is the nearest to the
people of all the government functions.
Money for its improvement is less be-
grudged than that spent in any other way.
And yet the officials, with great trumpet
ing of their efforts and "labors'' for the
dear citizens, are continually excusing
themselves for not meeting the public re-
quirements because of want of approprl-
atoms. Each postmaster general requires
his department subordinates to cut down
the estimates so he can make better show
Ing than his predecessor in his annual re-
port. The consequence is that every post
master in the country is complaining that
he cannot get carriers and clerks enough
| to transact the business. And it Isl fact.
There is parsimony, stinginess, about
this branch OF the government i'll comport-
ing with a great, boastful nation where the
strongest rivalry exists IN inVenting
schemes to absorb the surplus"
