LONDON, Dec. 29.-The attacks made by
Henry Labouchere in Truth and in his par-
liamentary speeches upon the conduct OF the
South African Chartered Company in their

THE COMMISSIONERS STILL LIVE.

Western Liberal
The Enterprise has quieted
down on the County commissions
ers. The course of the paper and
the owner has been a great deal
like the old Dutch king, who
marched his troops to the top of the
hill and then marched them down
again, When the present board
had its first business meeting on
the first Monday in February the
sole owner and proprietor of the
Enterprise attended the meeting,
and as he did not like the way the
commissioners we're doing, he told
them he was up there for the ex-
press purpose of telling them how
to conduct their business. He
had been a County commissioner
aud he knew. He also was well
posted on the laws of the Terrific
ry and was in position to give not
only the commissioners but the
lawyers points on all laws as they
applied to the allowance of print.
ing bills. The commissioners
were so overcome by the astound-
ing knowledge displayed by one
man that they only had strength
enough left TO adjourn, which they
did, leaving the printing bill and
some other bills Enacted on. There
was little else in the next Enter
prise but reproof for these com
missioners. The second Enter
prise had a little over a column
devoted to devouring what was
left of them. Last weeks Enter
prise, the third, had never a line
about them. Yet the Liberal is
reliably informed that the three
commissioners are all alive, en-
joying their usual good health and
waiting for the coming of that Pc
Rod, yet hidden in the womb Of
time, when the lion and the lamb
shall lie down together and the
Silver City court house ring shall

The city election which will bs
held next month will be governed
by two new laws. Heretofore
there has been no registration Of
voters for the city elections, ali
qualified voters at the next pre-.
ceding general election being en-.
titled to vote at the city election.
Now voters will have to be regis.
tered and a board of registration
for the next election has already
been appointed.
There will also be a change in
the manner Of electing a board Of
education. Heretofore three trus-
tees have been elected at each an
nual election to serve for the term
Of one year. A bill which was in
PRODUCED in the late legislature by
Representative Lady and which is
now a law provides "That all in
corporated towns in the Territory
not laid off in wards shall, at the
next municipal election, elect a
board of education consisting of
three members, one Of whom shall
serve for the term of three years,
one for the term Of two years and
one for the term Of one year, and
thereafter at each annual election
there shall be elected n member
of the board who shall serve for
the term of three years; each
member of the board of education.
shall be a qualified voter of the
Territory of New Mexico, and shall
have resided in the district at least
two years next preceding the cleo
ton and shall be a property tax
payer"
Under the operation OF this
law at least two of the men,
bers of the board will be old men,
bers and this will tend to prevent
radical changes in policy each year
which do not tend to the improve
ment of the schools. A similar
plan for the election of council
men went into effect here some
years ago which provided that half
of the city council should be cleo
ted each year. This has worked
well and there is no reason to be-
lieve that the new law in reference
to the election Of members of the
board of education will not operate
as satisfactorily.
