DEMOCRATIC LIES AND ISLANDERS CON-
CERNING THE TERRITORIAL FUNDS.

DEMOCRATIC LIES AND ISLANDERS CON-
CERNING THE TERRITORIAL FUNDS.
The attention of the New MEXICAN has
been called to an editorial in the Albu-
querque Democrat Of March 4, headed,
Crank Republican Rottenness," which
states, among othor things, that the
amonnt OK $2sO,0oo belonging to the peo-
pie has been in the vaults or at the dis
posal of the First National bank of Santa
Fe for more than quarter of century.
The answer to this statement is this:
First. The First National bank of San
ia Fe was not chartered till December,
1870, and did not begin active business
until May. 1871, less than twenty years
ago.
Second. The bank never had any
funds Of the territory Of New Mexico
on deposit prior to 1885 less
than six years ago. These funds
were from the receipt Of the sale of $780,
600 penitentiary bonds and were rapidly
paid out in the payment Of the censtruc-
ton of the penitentiary. The next funds
of the territory it had were the proceeds
of the sale of 100000 of capitol building
bonds, which were all paid out during tho
construction of the capitol. Subsequently
$3.50 900 of bonds issued to pay current
expenses of the territory in lots Of $50, 900
each, were issued at intervals Of six
months, and the proceeds deposited in
the bank, but were all paid out in
few weeks after their receipt $50, 900 OF
capitol contingent bonds were subsequent
ly sold, and the proceeds almost imme-
diately paid out to pay for the furniture
in the capitol building. Under the act Of
the territorial legislature 5000. 900 provis-
ional indebtedness bonds were issued and
sold; 100000 in March 1889, and loo, 900
in September 1889. These funds were OK
pended in paying the territorial expenses
of the fiscal year ending in March l, 1880.
The taxes of 1889 have been largely paid
cut in the fiscal year ending March 2,
1891. To-day March s, about $50, 900
more have been paid out or will be paid
out within a few days for deficiencies
and expenses, provided for by the
last legislature. The funds collected
last year, now on hand, are available for
expenses from this last mentioned date.
These amount to about $500, 900 and will
be rapidly drawn out after this month.
This plain statement of the facts will
show how utterly false, dishonest and
unfounded is the assertion quoted from
the article in question that $3.50, 600 be-
longing to the people has been in the
vaults or at tho disposal Of the First Ma.
tional bank of Santa Fe for more than q
q uarter of "a century. We may further
say that banking conditions in New
Mexico are such that it is generally nee
essary for bank to have on hand at all

ing affray at the corner of Main and Fourth
streets shortly after o'clock this after
noon caused CONSERVATION and excitement
among the large crowd of people who
linger at the corner of the two thorough
fares. The shooting was done by John
Hart, and resulted in the wounding of Jim
Kelley in the right arm, and more serious
injury to his brother George A ball PEN
etrated the breast of the latter, and lodged
iii the back. John Hart is foreman of q
gang of men on Fourth street. He dis
charged the two brothers last night, and
they repeated their threats to injure him
so often that he provided himself with a
pistol This afternoon one of the
men approached Hart while crossing
Main street, jumped on him and was as
sisted by his two companions. They be-
gan to pvmmel Hart with all their power,
and while one man held his head down
the others gave him repeated blows in the
face. Hart was helpless. but managed to
draw his pistol and fire at random. The
people were wild with excitement and
scrambled in every direction to avoid the
bullets. but nobody but the assailants
were hit. Aphysician was unable to find
the ball in Georges body and he is now at
the hospital. All four men were placed
under arrest

audience in an uproar. There was busy
scene in the governors Office. The gos-

THEY MUST HAVE CERTIFICATES.


British Columbia Steamboat Masters
Need Passenger Registration.
VANCOUVER, B. c., March 25.--fSpecial.l ]
"A decision of considerable importance to
steamboat owners has been made by the
head of the department of marine. and mo-
tices will be posted at the different custom
houses in the province relating to the
same. In the past it has been the custom
with some steamers to take out a passenger
certificate and employ duly certified en-
gineers and masters when engaged in the
passenger trade, and when this traffic was
dull obtaining at less wages non-certiied
men and continue running their boats as
tugs and freight carriers. Whenever suf-
ficient passengers offered they would be
carried, and very often the formality Of
engaging certified men was not gone
through with. This has been very
detrimental to those boat owners who have
complied with the law, and excited con-
siderable comment. Steamboat Inspector
Thomson has been authoritatively advised
from Ottawa that while . steamer has .
passenger certificate she must carry, as re-
quired by law, certified master and engi-
neer, and in conjunction with the custom
collectors, such an order has been issued
by Mr.. Thomson. The carrying of passen-
gers by freight boats is also forbidden. and
the term passenger defined. 1t is held
that anyone who takes passage on steam
er is passenger even if he does not pay
individually, but whose fare is paid for in
a lump sum in connection with freight, as
is often done in the case of squads of men
going to logging camps. The rules given
will be strictly enforced.

Intelligent women All Republican.

BosroN, March 25.-At the convention
OF the Republican state league of Massa-
chusetts today, resolutions were intro
duced declaring that the female voters of
Boston have for three years kept the
school committees in the hands of the Re-
publicans, and that Wyoming, in which
women vote, is the only Western state
wherein the Republicans met with no
reverses at the last election; setting
forth that these facts suggest the
importance of extending the full mu-
nicipal franchise to qualified woman
voters. and inviting the aid of Massachu-
setts to secure the ascendency of the Re-
publican party in this commonwealth.
The resolution was referred TO the Repub-
licaP state convention. Major Mckinley
and Hon. John NJ. Thurston, OF Nebraska.
delivered speeches. Resolutions were
adopted discussing in broad way the is
sues OF the day, and laying down strong
platform of Republican principles.

pointed to the Place.
PoRr TOWNSEND, March Especial. +
Governor Laughton announces that he
has decided to appoint Judge James G.
McClinton superior judge of Clallam
county. This is regarded here as very
satisfactory termination of a matter which
has given rise to much local strife and bit
terness. Judge McClinton was enrolling
clerk of the last state Senate, and was for
a number Of years on the bench of Nevada.
He was a member Of the Nevada constitu-
tional convention and member of the
committee that originated the judicial
system now in operation in that state. He
is regarded as one Of the most learned in
terpreters Of the law in this section of the
state. 1t is the unanimous feeling among
members of the bar here that Clallam
county is to be congratulated on McClin-
tons appointment.
