A Nut For Coming Legislators to
Crack.
An Independent View of the state
hood Question.

1t is hard for US who are out here in the
far west, away from the scene of action, to
realize that the Democrats of the present
congress are willing and anxious to give
New Mexico statehood, and that they are
prevented from so doing by mere hand
full of Republicans. While we endorse the
new quorum counting rule, it certainly
shows a marked inattention to their du
ties on the part of Democratic members,
that the house is compelled to adopt the
rule. The body is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic, and if that party honestly favored
the passage of the enabling act for New
Mexico, it would not be necessary for An
tonic Joseph to come to his constituents
with weak explanations as to. how the new
house rule fails to help his bill.
We are not inclined to censure Mr.. Jo-
seph. No doubt he is doing all he is able
to; and as much perhaps as anyone else
could do in his place. But we fail to see
how the Democrats are going to explain
next November how they wanted to give
US statehood, but were prevented by the
very small minority of Republicans. 1t is
our opinion it is Gold VS.. Silver, East VS..
West. New Mexico would add one vote,
and soon two, in the house, and two in the
senate to be cast against the plutocratic
bankers of WaiT street. HENCE neither
Democrat nor Republican,, Joseph nor
anyone else will be able to secure the ad
mission of New Mexico until the south
ana wost, rogardlooo of party, unite ana
come to the relief of their long neglected
sster.-Springer Stockman.

The opposition is lot based SO much
upon any direct antagonism toward New
Mexico as it is against the whole broad
west. Those old legislative fossils back
there that have for generations been able
to control congress are naturally very
jealous of their power, and they guard it
like a hawk does its prey lest it be wrest-
ed from them. They fear the ascendency
of western influence in congress quite as
much as does their narrow headed con-
stituency. But they will have to come
down off the perch eventually, and be as
fair to the west as the west would be to
them. The statehood situation to-day
should prompt every western member of
congress to do his utmost to aid Mr.. Jo-
seph in the passage of the measure ad-
hitting New Mexico.

1T LOOKS BETTER,

A ray of light on the subject of state
hood is visible on the congressional hori-
zon. No honest citizen can question
Delegate Josephs sincerity in working to
give us this long sought boon. He has
been badly handicapped by lot of
wooden headed statesmen, mostly eastern
Republicans, and some Dem ocrats from
the same section, but that he is hopefully
ut work, and sustained with all their zeal
by prominent New Mexico Democrats
there is no manner of doubt. And there
is yet a very good prospect that we shall
win the goal before the present congress
expires.

why Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS?
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can male no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.

WITHOUT questioning the spirit of
loyalty to a noted statesman and devoted
friend which the miners of Cochiti had in
view when they changed the name OF
Eagle to that of Bland, it may be said
that not few men in the camp now
recognize it as a mistake. Cochiti is
really gold camp, whereas the name of
Bland can never be associated in the
public mind with anything but silver.
There is some talk of calling meeting
of the miners to reconsider the subjec of
q new name for Eagle City.

With such law as this in New Mexico
there would be great incentive for our
ranchmen on the arid plains to attempt
the development of artesian water, and
the next legislature will earn its wages, if
it will enact similar law and give the
people an incentive to develop our water

The Harrison and Kearny bill Is so
drafted that these towns can
have no representation in the
Essex Board Of Freeholders while
they will remain represented in that
of Hudson. The bill remode cling the
law departments of Newark and Jer-
sey City is almost certainly unconsti-
tntional. The law which was merely
designed to take the Hudson County
Jail away from "BobiiefDa and
turn it over to Sheriff Toffey, was SO
drafted that it abolishes the County
Penitentiarysas well.
These are only some OF the condi-
tions and Inconsistencies and absurdi-
ties of the work of the great reform
ers In this Legislature. The whole
mass of blnnders promises to keep the
courts busy all the coming year. Ger
tainly those extra judges should be
appointed to take some of the bur-
dens off the shoulders of the present
bench. Otherwise the courts will be
swamped interpreting the laws that
will hold water and knocking out
those which are radically unsound.

Legislative Botchwork.

The World has an excellent article,
this morning, pointing out the extra
ordinary series of blunders that The
Republican party has made in carry
ing out its partisan plans of legisla-
ton. It is indeed extraordinary wha
a mass of botchwork has been done at
Trenton. Almost every important
measure passed has embodied some
colossal blunder. It must at least be
said for Democratic Legislatures that
they have always had brains enough
to pass laws that were consistent with
sense and which would stand
test in the courts. Indeed, some OF
their bad. bills haves been only too
shrewdly drafted. and though the
courts doubtIessZ oAeha desired to
knock them out, they seldom found
an opportunity to do 80.
But the Republicans, have been
able to do nothing without a bull.
Governor Werts In his veto exposed
the absurdity Of their bill to ouSt
Superintendent Matthews OF the
School Census. He showed how, un-
der pretense of reform, they increased
largely the expenses Of the State
House, their only real object being te
9oIbble Superintendent Ford's place.

Mayor wanser and II. Z. o'Donnell.

Mayor Wanser and MI. O'Donneii.
II Mayor Wanser wants to show his
non-partisan spirit in a conspicuous
way, he has an excellent opportunity
now. By reappointing Michael y.
ODonnell a Police Justice under the
new act, he may prove that good pub
lie service and not party afnliatiop
carry weight in his mind, and at the
same time he may win more cordial
approval from the democrats of this
city than he has ever before enjoyed.
The Republican majority in the
Legislature expressly disciaimed that
the Police Justice bill had for its mo-
tive the displacement OF democrats or
the furnishing Of Offices for republi-
cans. They alleged yer and over
again that the only motive wa to re-
duce the number of courts. In de-
bate they freely admitted that the
three Jersey City Justices were ex-
out reproach. Notwithstanding this,
a republican has secured one of the
places in Jersey City, and that the
place of the most popular of the out
going democrats. We have mot a
word TO say against Mr.. Herbert
Potts. If a republican had to get the
place, we would rather he we're the
man than any other republican we
can think of; but, under all the cir
cumstances, we cannot but think It
would be commendabie in the Mayor
to give the other vacancy to the
popular. able and altogether fair and
square man who has sat on the bench
for the last three years with credit to
himself and satisfaction to the public.
Republicans cannot complain of such
an appointment, and every democrat
in the city, regardless of faction, will
hail it with Joy.

TEACHING GIVES THEM TROUBLE

The members of the Hoboken Board OF
Education have been paying SO much atten-
ton to politics, secret meetings and pro-
tecting a drunken janitor of late that it is
said discipline in the public schools is not
what it should be. Complaint against No.
2 School is specially made, and one or two
teachers in the primary department are
mentioned. II Will be a surprise to the
friends Of one young lady in particular, for
she Is very ~well-known and very popular,
and is often heard at public entertainments.
| 1t is in this school that Janitor Mccarthy
made such an exhibition of himsel that par
ents felt he ought to have been kicked out,
but he wasn't, and this has had its effect on
the teachers.
Some months ago THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
exposed the practice of teachers allowing Ia
vorite pupils to revise and mark their COM
panions' work. Since that time the practice
has stopped.
GIDDy TEACHERS.
The present complaint is even more ser1-
Gus, as 1t concerns the children who have
attended school but a few years. 1t is rec
| ognized that il they become interested in
their studies this early in life, their char
acters for afterl years are formed IN
part. As it is now drawing near
| the end of the school year,
parents are beginning to see that their
children awe not advanced as they would
like. They hayei enquired the cause, and
find it Is due to wanton negligence of the
teachers. These young adies-there are two
or three nentioned-spend most of their
time in reading novels, writing letters and
doing lace and crochet work, and in other
ways acting not as they should.
Their actions sometimes are very silly.
For instance. il one Of the teachers caught D
boy with a piece of tutti-frutti or candy,
she would take it from him and placing it in
an envelope write a note and send 1t into the
teacher In the next room. The pupil would,
of course, be the teachers messenger. Then
! a reply would perceived, and the teachers
would be convulsel with laughter. It was
all so smart, she thought.
LITTLE TO
In the matter of teaching the least possible
trouble was taken by these young ladies.
For instance, in examining examples they
would merely look at the pupils answer. Ii
correct it was marked Ok, despite the fact
that the work proper might have been all
wrong.
In the matter of teaching spelling, the
teacher marks on the black board a number
of words. The pupils copy them, but il they
| spells, tney must ask their parents, the teacher
has no time.
This condition positively exists. Teachers
may deny it. II pupils show any intelli-
gence at all = is due TO their efforts.
Tho BoafG of Education is as much to
blame as any one else. 1t is a continuous
scheming on tho part of members to get
patronage. to control, this, that or the other
thing, and as a result discipline is neglected.
