solamnly promised boon of statehood.
The paragraph quoted is simply al ex-
ample of the guerrilla warfare it is con-
stantly waging on New Mexico.
The intimation that the people of New
Mexico are unfriendly to the English
language and are opposed to having it
taught as branch of study in the public
schools is as false as the Globe Demo
Gratis professions of friendship for the
west or its representation that "the
ratio of school attendance in this terri
tory is only half that of Idaho" In no
state or territory in the Union is a more
progressive, liberal, American public
school law in force than in New Mexico
and no people on the American continent
are more eager to acquire a mastery of
the English language than those of
Spanish origin living IN this territory.
The English language is the language of
the public schools of New Mexico. This
is in compliance with law passed by
legislature, ajority of whose members
we're native citizens. The Spanish is
simply taught as branch and used as
medium for instructing Spanish speak
ing children in English.
According to the last school census of
New Mexico the total number of children
of school age in this territory was 1925.
OF this number 22,690 were actually en-
rolled and in attendance upon the public
schools last year. This is exclusive of
the large attendance upon the Catholic,
Presbyterian and numerous other private
schools. The number of teachers EN-
ployed in the public schools of this terri
tory last year was SAT in 5s2 districts and
the total amount paid out for public
school purposes during the year was
S275,747.58. These are facts drawn from
official sources. Will the Globe Dem
ocrat kindly step to the front with the
corresponding figures respecting the
schools of Idaho?

New Mexico All Right.

The reports from all parts of New Mex
leo are gratifying in the highest degree.
Plenty of rain has fallen to guarantee
permanent water in the lakes and water
holes, insuring water for stock, and also
insuring first-class grass, not only for
grazing, but for native hay. The agricul-
tural outlook was never better, and the
crop yield promises to be heavier than
for many years. The increased activity
in mining insures ready market for the
surplus products of the farm, and the
gratifying results in the mines is an as
surance that this important division of
New Mexico industries will be permanent,
and that mining will grow in Importance
and continue for generations to be one of
the chief sources of wealth in this COM
monwealth. Notwithstanding the day of
universal oppression is upon the country,
it's effect is less noticeable in New Me xico
than almost any section of the Union
Roswell Record.

TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO

The Missouri Pacific railway on April
80, 1894, placed in effect new schedule
for its "Fast Mail' train between Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and Kansas
City and st. Louis; leaving Denver at 800
p. M, Colorado Springs at 5:25 p. M,
and Pueblo at 700 p. M, and arriving at
Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, St. Louis at
6:55 a. M, and Chicago at 500 a. M, with
direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington, ID. c., and all inter
mediate points.
This will enab passengers from Colo
RADIO interior points to make a direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific EAST
Mall at Pueblo, by taking D. & R. e.,
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours
time on the eastbound trip, and enabling
them to avoid disagreeable lay-over,
with the advantage of only one change of
cars between Colorado and New York

made in Union Depot.

STATEHOOD AND SCHOOLS,

The English language is at a discount
In New Mexico, the people of the terri
tory having worked against and defeated
the proposition to make English branch
of study in the public schools. The ratio
of school attendance is only half that OF
Idaho. What New Mexico needs is the
schoolmaster and Americanization in
stead of statehood. Globe Democrat.
The foregoing is characteristic para
graph clipped from the editorial columns
OF the most untlring, INSCRIPTIONS and
venomous newspaper villifier that the
western states aud territories have ever
had to contend with. The Globe-Demo-
crat, in common with nearly all hyphen-
ated newspapers, is an arrant fraud and
an unblushing hypocrite with good
lord and good devil motto" 1t is printed
in the west and processes to be friendly
to western interests, but its eager sub
serviency to Wall street is as obvious as
the cloven hoof of goat; it draws thous-
ands of dollars annually from the vast and
fertile empire west of the Missouri river;
yet it never neglects an opportunity to
strike cowardly and brutal blow at the
most vital interests of the western people.
The gradual downfall of silver as a money
metal has apparently filled its malignant
soul with JOY. 1t dances with glee every
day that the shining white metal is quoted
point lower and smiingly gloats over
the misery the transient destruction of
the great silver industry has visited upon
the west. 1t ought to be treated as an
unwelcome guest in every western home.
The hostility of the Globe-D Democrat
to New Mexico is particularly pro-
nounced and bitter. 1t never hesitates to
employ any form of Islander or misrepre-
sentation to disgrace and belittle this
territory in ths eyes of the world
with the evident hope of longer cheating
its patient and patriotic people of the

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIzEN.-Mr.
Ferdinand Knight, who had for the
past few days been critically i'll, died at
his home on Gibbon street about five
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The de-
ceased was born in this city sixty-six
years ago, and at an early age exhibited
an industry and responsibility not
often seen in those passing through
their Juvenile days. When but ten
years of age he was placed in charge of
the packing department on the fishing
shore of the late Mr.. James Irwin, at
which time he began the requirement
OF the coopering trade. Later he was
foreman for Mr.. Irwin. When the Pio
neer Mills were erected, forty years
ago, Mr.. Knight became foreman of the
cooper shop attached to the mills, po-
sition he relinquished to engage in the
local express business. For thirty five
years he had been familiar figure on the
streets of Alexandria, especially about
the wharves, and it has been but few
months since advancing age, with its
ills and aches, compelled him to desist
from his favorite occupation. Mr..
Knight was quiet, unobtrusiYe gen
tleman, kind neighbor and justly es-
teemed by all who knew him.

A STEAMER IN A SToRM.-Passengers
on the steamer George Leary on Mon
day had q thrilling experience. The
steamer left this city at half
past nine o'clock for Colonial
Beach with about 125 passengers on
board. When between Marshall Hall
aud Glymont violent storm, accom-
panied by terrific thunder and lightning
arose during which time lightning
struck the mainmast and shivered it
into splinters. A second flash struck
the wheelhouse, but fortunately did but
slight damage, and third hit the stern
of the boat, with the same result. The
steamer careeued on one side by
the shifting of the ballast, and four men
in the pilot-house, were unable for q
time TO work the wheel. Before the
steamer could be righted terrific hail
storm, in which the stones were, it Is
said, as large SIS eggs, struck the boat,
aud it was almost impossible to see
more than ten feet ahead of the boat.
The passengers were greatly terrorlzed.
Women tainted, men sbrieled, and
some prayad. AS soon as possible the
leary was headed for the shore, but
before making landing the storm sub
sided, and she proceeded on her way.
