San Miguel, "The Banner County

To the Editor OF the New Mexican,
SANTA FE, Feb. S.--The Daily Optic, in
an article OH "Our Public Schools" con-
tanned in recent issue, is over anxious
to show that San Miguel county is the
"banner county" Of the territory, and ex'
utingly concludes the article IS follows
"And thus the comparison might be ex,
tended at almost any limit. The fact is
that the report of the public schools ol
,, this county is so excellent a one that the
county board should have it separately
printed" Now, friendly reader OF the
Optic begs to call the Optics attention te
the figures in various columns OF the re-
port from San Miguel county, and | an
confident that it will not further expose
the ludicrousness contained therein. II
those figures are correct, then l say SaE
Miguel is the "banner county," not o.
the territory alone, but of the Unltec
States. OF course this is no reflection or
the superintendent of public instruction
The latter had to accept the figures as
furnished by the county superintendent.

The WASTE OF WATER.
What Visit to the Rio Santa Fe Reveals
Hope for Change in the
Near Future.

The annual waste of water has com
menced in earnest. Step down to the
Rio Santa Fe to-day and take look for
yourself. There may be seen a stream OF
water ten feet wide, three feet deep and
running at rate Of, say, ten miles an
hour--all going to waste. 1t carries in
solution fertilizing minerals from the
mountain sides that would not only irri,
gate thousands OF acres of land but
would, at the same time, deposit over
every foot of these thousands of acres a
rich fertilizer that the average eastern
farmer would be willing to pay for at the
rate Of $40 per acre annually.
As it runs to-day this water has been
wasting for nearly a month.
Two years ago this spring Hon. Melvin
Edwards, formerly secretary of state Of
Colorado, and identified with many large
irrigation enterprises in Colorado, watch
ed this stream flow past the College street
bridge and said:
81 could take that water in Colorado
and lrrigate 10000 acres of land with it. !"
THIS waste will continue for the next
four months, and then will come the dry
season when everybody will be clamoring
for water. However, it is cheerful to
contemplate that the present spring is, in
all probability, the last one that will wit
ness such wanton, shameful neglect OF
opportunity to benefit Santa Fe and line
the pockets of those who save the water
with golden profits. The Santa Fe Irriga-
ton company certainly has before it every
incentive for pushing its reservoir and
canal enterprises.

whose microscopic eyes discovered
defects in the law
against the gamblers. Being so

We find the following extract
from the s.National Republican" in
a recent Issue of the A ppeal-Ava-
lanche, with accompanying com
ments, which we earnestly commend
to the attention of our readers
"With the Lodge national cleo
ton law in full force over the South
and various Democratic strongholds
up North, we my confidently look
for a different state of political
affairs than now exists. New York
city will then return several more
Republican Congressman than at
present while more than 90 negro
representatives from the South will
render tile Republican control of the
future Congress absolutely safe and
secure.
Heavy taxes should be laid upon
the property OF the whites to develop
and extend the public school sys-
tenn of those States. Separate schools
for the two races should be abolish
ed and the plan of bringing the
youth of both colors into close and
equal relation in schools and
churches given fair trial, as one
of the most potent elements to
break down the detestable bourbon
ism of the South. The State laws
against the inter-marriage of the
races should be repealed, and any
discrimination against the blacks in
the matter of learning trades or OBJ
tanning employment should be a
criminal offense- while the colored
mans rights to hold office should be
sacredly protected and recognized
A few years of this policy will solve
the race problem satisfactorily.
Take this extract up and keep il
rolling. 1t ought to be placed IN
every white household in the South.
1t shows the spirit of some of the
members of the Republican party.
1t shows that a section of that or
ganization will never be contented
until the civilization of the South
has been negroized, until the white
girl marrIes the negro, until the
white man marries the Negro
woman, until the white people are
ssheavily taxed'' to support mixed
schools, until white society in the
South is compelled by law to merge
with black society. until in. short
the people of the South are trans
formed into a race of mullattos.
Read this extract to the Populists
around you; tell them that the Ma
ltional Republican of Washington
City is an earnest supporter of Prest
dent Harrison. Read it to all your
Beighbors and friends, and tell them
to spread it wherever they go.
