RECENTLY the Democrat and the

every republican paper in the territory
had abused and lied about the College.
In a letter to the LIBERAL Mr.. Black
says that he has been misquoted, and
in speaking of the LIBERAL, said: 81
never saw a criticism in your paper
that l did not consider just. 1t is
now and always was a friend Of the
institution, and is one of the few pa
pers that cares to understand the sit
uation." 1t might be well for the
friends and foes Of the past and the
present administrations of the College
TO remember that there are people
and papers in the territory that de-
sire to see the College accomplish
all that is possible and refuse to have
anything to do with any pe&tical
squabble over the institution. Poll

THE Enterprise reports that the
county commissioners have concluded
TO pay the interest on the county rail-
road bonds and suggests that efforts
ought TO be made to stop this interest
paying, and that proper steps should
be taken to have the bonds declared
illegal. 10 this the Enterprise is pc
culiarly level headed. The Supreme
Court Of the United States has de-
clared similarly issued bonds in Ari-
IONA illegal, and relieved the county
from paying the bonds. The Grant
county bonds should be passed on
while the court is in the same frame
Of mind, and before the territory he
ONE a state. There seems to be a
difference in the action Of this court
when the question with which it is
dealing comes from a state or from a
territory. A good many years ago it
was considered quite the proper thing
10 Michigan for townships and villages
to issue bonds to aid railroads. 1t was
as popular there as it was at a later
date In New Mexico. After many
bonds had been issued it was discov-
cred there was a law on the statute
book prohibiting such bonds. No
more were issued. Efforts were made
to collect the interest on bonds that
had already been issued. The state
courts held that the towns could not
pay the bonds, as they were illegally
issued, and the interest kept accumu-
lating. Finally a mar who was not a
resident Of the state, who held some
OF these bonds, commenced proceed
ings against the township that had
issued them, in the United States
court. The case was carried to the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
and the decision OF that body was that
the bonds appeared on their face to be
legally issued, they were issued by the
officers who had authority to issue
bonds, that they were in the hands OF
an innocent holder and they must be
paid. The result was that many town
ships and villages which had supposed
themselves out OF debt had a heavy
burden of bonds aud accumulated in
terest TO carry, and some OF these vii
lagos have not got them paid yet. II
the supreme court would render such
a decision oyerturning the decision Of
the state courts there is no telling
what IL would do regarding the de-
cisions OF the courts CT New Mexico.
1t would be well for the people inter
ested IN having these bonds declared
Illegal to get the decision as soon as
possible. Again, II any money is paid
cut TO the holders OF these illegal
bonds as interest, that money is gone.
No court would help Grant county
collect the money. The LIBERAL !.
against the payment Of an illegal debt
II thinks that the purchaser Of a bond
should ascertain whether the bond Il
illegal one before he buys II. AS re
CARDS the Silver City railroad bonds
they have been re-lssued, and tn,
bonds are not the ones issued 10 hell
the railroad, although the debt is the
same one. The city attorney has de.
cided that these bonds are illegal. Tit
supreme court Is not bound TO follow
the decision OF the city attorney
Who ever heard OF an attorney ad
yising his client that his case was not
a good one?
