THE LAWS DELAY.
Fong Sings Dog Case Shows Up, Br
Not the Dog.


Not the Dog.
Mrs. Brown was arraigned before
Judge Cravens yesterday at the instance
of Fong Sing.
Fong lodged his complaint February
9th, and the case bobbed up serenely
yesterday morning, apparently in good
condition but really little frayed at the
edges.
1t was all about a dog-a small, hairy
Scotch terrier dog. All the parties in the
case showed upeXcept the dog, which had
probably become discouraged at the laws
delay and left town.
Fong Sing took the stand and ex-
planned how he bought the dog of Mrs.
Brown at the beginning of summer
time" year ago. He had the dog several
months and all went we'll until one day
the animal was missing.
Fong instituted a search, and found his
dog had gone back to the home of Mrs.
Brown. Fong went to Mrs. Brown and
recovered the canine once, then twice,
and finally the third and last time, and
then the dog disappeared for good.
So Fong Sing swore out complaint
against Mrs. Brown, concluding that she
knew more about the dog than she cared
to admit. This was all Fong knew about
his dog, and il wasn't enough.
Mrs. Jordan was called, but if she ever
knew anything about the dog, she had
forgotten it, and this settled the case.
The Judge found Mrs. Brown not
guilty, and Fong Sing went out with a
limited smile on his face and without
material satisfaction. The dog is still

PUBLIC SCHOOL HOUSES

general interest:
TERRITORY OF New Mexico, }
Office of Solicitor General, ,
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. 8, 1892.
Hon. Amado Chaves, Superintendent
Of Public Instruction, Santa Fe.
My dear Sir: / am in receipt of
your inquiry, dated the 3oth ultimo,
in which you state that a certain
school district had to its credit about
1000; that the apportionment will
amount to about $1,000 more; that
the yearly expenses including teach
ers' wages, fuel, etc, are about 1900;
that the directors wish to erect an
addition to the present school build
ing at cost of not over 81 900, and
asking if the directors can use the
81 900 now IN hand in the treasury
for that purpose, or whether they
might issue bonds for the purpose of
erecting the addition. And in reply
| would say that the proceeds of the
territorial tax under section "a of the
school laws can not be used for erect
ing or repairing buildings.
Under section 81 of that act the
school directors are required to pro-
vide proper school houses, sufficient
fuel and to pay teachers wages, as
well as interest on school house
bonds; and for that purpose they are
empowered to levy a tax, not exceed
ing five mills on the dollar in any
year. Under section 90 it is their
duty to make an estimate for such
tax levy which shall be voted upon
by the qualified voters of the dis
trict and the issue of bonds is only
to be resorted to in cases of extreme
necessity. If the amount on hand
and to be received exclusive of the
proceeds of the territorial levy will
allow it, the board would be justified
IN using the 81, 900 for the purpose
named. If it does not then the five
mill levy provided for in section 81
should be resorted to. Very respect.
fully your,

Solicitor General of New Mexico.

DOUBLED UP THE EARNINGS.

1t was recently demonstrated on
this page that the average wage
Garner receives $l51.6O in 1892,
whereas in 1860 he had 500. This
gain in wages has been accompanied
by general reduction of prices, so
that while he could purchase 800
worth of food, clothing and other
necessaries in 1860, he can now buy
what is equivalent to S199.71' with
the same amount of labor. The net
result of 80 years of protection has
been the doubling of the value of his
labor. He both earns more and the
purchasing power of his wages is
largely increased. This is a mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstration based upon
census reports and prices current of
the falsity of Democratic claim that
working people have been held up
and robbed by the tariff.-New York

A PERP1EXINa LAW.
reversed.

The Tarsney eight hour law in its
application to all government con
tracts has gone into effect, and 1t has
already raised serious question for
the law officers of the United States.
According to the construction placed
upon it in the treasury department
it will practically prevent the cree
ton of federal building in the
United States until every mine own
err, quarryman, owner of a lumber
camp, saw mill, rolling mill and
brick yard in the country adopts
eight hours as a days work for his
employees. The law REQUIRES that IN
every contract awarded the contract
or shall be required to adopt the eight
hour system in the employment of
his men, and further than this, he
must use no material which has been
prepared under any other plan of la
Dor. If he has the contract for cut
ting and setting the stone work his
material must be secured from a
quarry where the men are employed
eight hours only each day and paid
a full days wages for such employ
ment. His stonecutters are placed
upon the same basis. Bricks used
must be made in yards where the la
borers are paid for a full day for
eight hours of labor In structural
iron and interior finishing the same
rules apply, and according to the
treasury officials it will be necessary
for the contractor to secure a bond
FROM each person from whom he
purchases material that it has been
prepared under the eight hour sys-
tenn. 1t is a question not yet fully
answered whether or not it will be
necessary to go back as far as the
mines and lumber woods to secure
absolute compliance with the law,
