Tho Normal Schools.

The two normal schools created by the
last legislature--one at Las Vegas and
one at Silver City, have organized, Sc
cured the necessary grounds, and have
begun the erection of suitable buildings.
The normal school at Las Vegas has its
building in course of construction, while
that at Silver City is about completed.
The school at this point has been fully
organized, and has been in operation for
some months with the most fattering
prospects for its future success. The
board of regents has been exceptionally
active and efficient in its work.
The Deaf and Dumb Asylum at
Santa Fe.
This school has had very successful
year under competent and capable
management. This institution has also
had charge of the blind, and is deserving
of the aid and assistance of the territory.
So far, the appropriations made for its
support have been limited, and the build
ings occupied by it are rented. At as
early a dV as possible, the territory
should take steps to erect suitable build.

The Financial Condition

animation of the financial condition OF
the counties will readily show how they
have suffered as result of this legisla-

While the report of the territorial treas.
urer shows surplus of over $4,000 Of
taxes collected, in the matter of expen-
ditures during the last two years there
are few counties in the territory that have
not run largely in debt. One of the larg-
est items of or pense heretofore borne by
the territory is that of the cost of main
tanning the courts.
This was transferred to the counties,
and in addition to transfer of this bur
den, the courts have been hampered by a
provision which prevented them from,
holding any term of court when there was
no money in the treasury to pay the ex-
penses thereof.
The assessments made by the counties
for the purpose of maintaining the courts
have been insufficient, and as Il conse.
quence very little business has been ac.
com plished. There are several counties
in the territory wherein the funds raised
have been Totally inadequate even for the
purpose OF attending to the criminal

TO REFORM ARMENIA.
Constantinopla Ministers Adopt a
Plan-No American lnVesti-
gator.

Constantinople, Dec. est now seems
definitely settled that the United States
minister, Alexander Terrell, does not in
tend to send anybody to make an indie
pendent inquiry into the stories told of
Turkish atrocities in Armenia. The mo-
tive of this decision, it is believed, is prob
ably because such an inquiry is not neces-
sary in view of the fact that the powers
signatory to the Berlin treaty, particular
ly England, are supervising the inquiry,
which is being made on behalf of the
Turkish government. At the last council
of ministers there was a long discussion
of the many projects suggested for re-
form in Armenia, and it is reported one
plan of consolidation and other improve
ments were adopted.
The Armenians of the Van district are
said to be in a deplorable condition.
Numbers of the inhabitants are being con-
stantly summoned from their villages by
the Turks, and they are afterwards de-
tanned for eXamina ton and are thus pre-
vented from tilling the land. Consequent
ly a scarcity of crops is expected in 1895.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 2S.-The thiE~
teenth annual session of the American
Forestry association began here today at
the department of agriculture. There was
only small attendance at the opening
session and after a brief meeting the
convention took a recess About dozen
of the members of the association called

the President by Secretary Morton.
The report of Prof. Fernow, chairman
of the executive committee of the associa-
ton. was read. 1t said that there had
been a noteworthy increase of interest IN
forestry matters during the past year and
instanced special meetings in Albany,
Brooklyn and the White mountains, at
which steps were taken looking to preser-
walton of Eastern forests. The most i'm
Dortant advance made during the, year
was in the passage of the McRae forest
~ bill. This bill, the report said, was not
altogether satisfactory, but was con-
siderable step forward and the associa
ton would continue to push what has be-
come known as the Paddock bill" which
looks to the control of the forests by q

STRIKE WAS AN EPOCH.
Labor Commissioner Wright Thinks
Socialism is Entering the
Railroad Laws.

New York, Dec 27.-This forenoon's
session of the American Economic asso,
citation was occupied with the reading
and discussion of paper on THE Chi
cago Strike of Last July" by Carroll D.
Wright, United States commissioner of
labor.
In the beginning, he said that the great
strike which occurred at Chicago in June
and July last, and which was in reality
a combination of strike and boycott was
an epochal event, because it emphasized
certain principles which are now recog-
nized as essential in the government,
management and operation of railroads.
1t was also for other reasons. 1t dem
onstr.. ted to the satisfaction of the pub
lie at large the right and the power of
the federal government to send troops
into state for the purpose of protection
of federal interests whether that protec-
ton was or was not asked by the state
government 1t has emphasized the
power of the federal government to pro-
tect it's great interests in the transporta-
ton of mails.
The chief reason, however to his mind
why the Chicago strike was an epoch
making event lies in that fact that it con-
stitutes subordinate element in a revolu-
ton which is quietly taking place in this
country. He approaches the question
from the point of view that neither the
federal nor state governments can or
ought to be allowed, as rule, to regulate
rates of wages or prices of commodities.
