MEETING OF DIRECTORS OF AsYnvx.

The board of directors of the New
Mexico insane asylum were in ses-
sion yesterday. The expenditures
on account of the building are as
follows:
Paid to Contra tors Hill 81 Caya-
naugh, $22, 9O7.l5.
Paid to Kirchner & Kirchner,
architects, $l,19s.75.
Paid to George w. Ward, local
superintendent, $l25.OO.
Total, $24,29O.9O.
There is at present available funds
with which to complete the building,
$15,5O5.sl.
The additional expenditures neces-
sary to complete the building, APP
proximately stated, will be about
s12, 200, perhaps little more than
that, as the architects find it difficult
to determine with exaotness the
amount yet necessary.
1t seems now that the funds appro-
priated by the Legislature will be suf-
ficient at least to fully finish the
asylum.
No action was taken with refer
ence to the appointment of a medi-
cal superintendent or to the engage
ment of any other of the employees
of the institution, it being deemed
best by the board upon full cOnsulta'
ton to delay in that matter until
about the time when the asylum can
be opened.
The board is pushing forward as
rapidly as possible and hopes to be
able to open the asylum by the ist of
May or possibly earlier

We noted this little incident last
night. A gentleman going down
Sixth street was accosted by couple
Of illbred, uncouth urchins, in a very
boisterous manner, and when they
had gone about twenty yards further
up the street the gentleman turned
round and went up to them, looked
them square in the face and then
walked away. He evidently took
them for couple of lunatics who
had come here oget cured. However,
that may be, we want to tell the
youngsters that that's the familiar
ity that breeds contempt, and ask
them not to let it occur again, for
their own benefit.
Some of the towps of the territory
are saying that Las Vegas can not
entertain the crowd that will be here
at the irrigation convention, in
which they are very much mistaken.
We have three hotels here in the
town, and with the people here that
will attend the Santa Fe company
will put on extra trains for the
Springs that will run at any time
that is wanted. The Springs hotels
alone can accommodate at least 600,
more than any town in the territory,
AT the meeting of the directors of
the Commercial club last night it
was decided to ask Gov. Prince to
issue a call for the irrigation con-
vention to meet here on March l6,
and that the call be made to include
all of the arid region. This will
probably be done, and the town will
need to get move on itself and get
the benefit such convention brings a
place 1t will do much to broaden
the views of some Of our citizens.

There was a little shooting scrape
in Albuquerque yesterday. 1t seems
that cook in one of the hotels there
was told by his wife that Mexican
had been following her around town,
that she was tired of it and he would
have to do something in the
case. He gave the Mexican what he
thought he deserved, and the MexI-
can returned the compliment by fir
ing shot into the house the hus-
band was supposed to be in. A
lady there narrowly escaped the con-
sequence of such Promiscuous shoot
ing, so the Mexican was arrested and
put under $500 bond to appear be-
fore the grand jury.

Death of the Register of Deeds.

1t Is with much regret that we announce
the death of an old pioneer and esteemed
citizen, John +. Kelly, the well known
Register OF Deeds, who died last Monday
afternoon, aged 70 years and months.
The deceased was born in England, and
at II years OF age emigrated to Canada.
In 1867 he moved to this city, where he
has since resided. He was engaged as an
accountant and scaler most Of his time
until 1880, when he was elected to the Of
flee of Register of Deeds, and has held
that position continuously II years and
nearly 10 months.
During the past three years he was toe
feeble to attend to the duties of the Office
but the register work was ably and eff
GENTLY performed by his daughter, Miss
Della Kelly, who did all the work.
To show how the deceased and his
daughter were esteemed by the Alpena
people, it Is but necessary to print the
election records. Mr.. Kelly was a Re-
publican, but received majority OF 20G
in 1880, while the Democratic majority
was 1877. In 1882 he had no opposition.
In 1884, 1886 and 1890 he was on both
tickets, but the Democratic majorities in
those years were 1876, 1873 and 206. In
1888 he had an opponent, but he received
a majority of 212. The Democratic ma
jority that year was IS.
During the six times he has been elect
ed, the Republicans carried the county
but once-in 1882, so that without votes
from the opposition, Mr.. Kelly could on
ly have been elected once. 1t Is record
to be proud Of

Saturday evening last Geo. w. Nc
Bride, of Grand Haven, delivered Re-
publican speech at the Opera House. His
argument was the usual one made by Re-
publican speakers. According to him
protection had made all the prosperity Of
this country, and judging from his re-
marks the people had done nothing to
erect the factories, cultivate the farms,
dig out the minerals, build the ships and
grow the crops. The protective tariff
tax system had done 1t ALL and this coun-
try had been made the greatest one on
earth by the plan OF taxing one man to
support another. One of his main state
ments was that thirteen millions Of fami,
lies were earning from five hundred to
one thousand dollars per year and that
their incomes had been increased by the
Mckinley bill. AS that number compris-
es nearly every family in the country, it
readily shows the rash and untruthful
statements made by Mr.. Mcbride. Every
family in Alpena county is included in the
$4,000, 900, and each family thus knows
whether the Republican speaker told the
truth. We are inclined to the belief that
the average earnings of the families in
this county will not exceed $400 per year,
and Alpena people compare favorably
with those OF any county In the country.
The annual report Of the State Labor
Commissioner, for 1891, shows the aver
age yearly wages of men employed in iron
works and agricultural implement facto-
rles was $467.02, and this includes skilled
labor

Democratic Rally.

The Opera House was filled with peo-
pie last Friday evening" to hear Chas. s.
Hampton discuss the political issues.
There were more ladies present than ever
before at a Democratic meeting in the
Opera House.
Mr., Hampton is a fluent and interest
ing speaker, and made q good argument
for the Democratic party. The first part
of his speech was devoted to the good
work Of the Michigan Democracy. He
quoted from official statistics to show
that the Democratic party had fulfilled its
pledge to the people, and had done what
it promised before the election of 1890.
He showed what good reform work had
been done by the Democratic State ofIici-
ais, and what large reduction had been
made in the State expenses under Demo-
cratic administration. Every department
Of the State government showed a large
decrease In expenditures, and more work
had been done. The speakers illustra-
ton of the working of the protective tar
if tax, and its injustice to the people, was
good, and he made very plain the Demo-
cratic principle of tariff for revenue. He
thoroughly exploded the claim of the pro-
tectionists that the wages Of laboring
men were increased by the tariff, and
showed how false was that protectionist
idea. Wages were regulated by the laws
of supply and demand. II there were
more laborers than there was work, wages
went down. The tariff taxes really re-
duced the price OF labor by causing the
laborer to pay more for the necessaries Of
life.
In regard to one claim of the Republi-
cans that the taxing Of one man to help
another, made the prices Of goods lower,
he said it was the inventive gent
Gus of man that caused prices of many
manufactured articles to be less in price,
and gave as an Illustration how he had
seen boy with a machine make more
nails in day than was done formerly by
ten men. II was the ingenious machine
invented by man that had caused a de-
crease, and the tariff taxes had nothing to
do with making callcoes, nails, etc, cheap
er.
Mr.. Hampton occupied about two hours
in making his remarks, and 1t was one Of
the best and most interesting ever heard
in this city.

John Dillon in His New Play, at
Maltz' Opera House, Nov. 18th.

Mr.. John Dillon, the veteran actor,
has been playing at Fosters Opera House
this week to the capacity of the house.
He has new play and has been giving
entire satisfaction to the audiences he
has endeavored to entertain. There Is no
audience that gives such hearty applause
as state fair week audience. Mr.. Dillon
has received every demonstration of APP
probation that the heart of an old actor
could ask.
His new play Is called "The Model
Husband" The author OF the piece Is
Mr. q. Il. Darcy, who has written large
number of successful pieces, including
Maggie Mitchells Little Maverick" -
Mr. Dillon has for so many years appear
ed I'm his old time favorites that his ad-
mrers had about given up the hope Of
seeing him i'm new role. But this year
he has surprised them with brand new
play. 1t Is not so uproarious as WANT
cd tho Earth" (who has not seen Dillon
In "Wanted the Earth") but IL Is In
many respects better play. The plot
turns on the escapadcs OF a hen-pecked
husband, who has been ruled with an iron
rod, and who no sooner gets away from
his restraints than he gets into mischief
and finally into trouble with widow and
an old maid. His wife turns up when
least expected and there Is amusement
enough for all. The piece Is entirely
new, but has been running very smoothly.
A number Of improvements will, however,
be made In the immediate future. Mr..
Dillon and his new play cannot but have
a successful season.

The we'll known Robert Il. Fraser de-
livered an amusing political speech at the
Opera House, last Wednesday evening.
The speech was for the purpose OF bene-
fitting the Republican cause, but failed to
do SO. IL was very amusing speech,
and was highly enjoyed by the Democrats
present. AS regards argument there was
none worthy OF the name. His principal
idea was that majority OF the people,
organized as the Democratic party, were
anxious TO destroy the prosperity OF the
country just merely TO benefit foreign
country. Such statements are mere rub
bish. Tho Democrats are just as anxious
to get the comforts and luxurles OF life as
are the Republicans, and II they destroy
ed the prosperity Of this country they
would injure themselves, and when an
orator makes such ridiculous statements,
the Democrats merely laugh at them.
They are too idiotic for serious discus
sion. AS a comic lecturer Mr.. Fraser Is
considerable of success. He was not as
bitter In his remarks against Democrats
as he was when here some years ago. He
believed in allowing all pauper labor Of
the world to come to this country, except
Chinese and anarchists.
