A CaDttal Pauer.

Washingtons greatest morning daily,
the Post, has just added to its already
magnificent equipment new three-deck-
er Scott press. This is the latest and
most perfect press made. 1t has cap
acity of twentyfour thousand ten-page
papers, or sixteen thousand twenty-page
papers per hour. All of which come from
the press folded and ready to be bundled
for the mails. To one not familiar with
fast presses, this great printing machine
is an almost inconceivable thing. At
one end the white paper is unwound
from huge roll, and at the other the
printed and folded papers are passed out
at the rate of four hundred per minute.
1t takes small fortune to own such a
press, as the cost of same was about
forty thousand dollars. This great in
vestment was made necessary by the ex-
igencies of increasing business in both
the daily and weekly editions of the Post.
In these times, W lien all sorts of business
are so Immediately affected by national
legislation, people all over the country
are awaking to the necessity of taking a
newspaper printed at the capital, and
containing the fullest legislative news.

A WISE PROCEEDING.

The house did a good piece of work
yesterday in voting to indefinitely post
pone the bill to repeal the act exempting
water storage reservoirs from taxation
for a period of six years.. Under this
act capital has received an invitation to
come and invest in New Mexico and the
result has unquestionably been of very
great benefit. Taxable values have been
largely increased in many parts of the
territory, new farms and orchards have
sprung into life. Many new industries
have followed in the wake of the storage
reservoir; thriving towns have been built
up and the growth of older ones stmu-
lated, enhancing the property of rich and
poor alike. SO plainly is it apparent
that New Me1ico's future progress must
be along this line that any act aimed at
such institutions must be opposed by
progressive men without regard to parti-
san views. This was the condition in
the house yesterday. IT'S we'll.

IT is recorded that $4,000 people died
in the Indian province of Bengal last
year from snake-bites. A wicked Ken
tuckian at our elbow suggests that if
more of the Kentucky specific for snake
bites and fewer missionaries were ex-
ported to India the death rate from the
cause mentioned would be reduced, but
he didn't explain whether it was probably
more desirable to die from snakes in the
boots or from the direct bite of one of
the reptiles. Remedies are sometimes
worse than the disease.

LIGHT WANTED,

Representative Locke is plain man
and he believes in giving the plain peo-
pie chance to ascertain Just how il
came about two years ago that the terri
torial treasury funds were ordered sent
for deposit in the Albuquerque National
bank. 1t will be remembered, aye, sadly
remembered, by many, that not long
thereafter this institution "failed" and
100000 of the territory's funds went with
it. No member of the legislative assem-
bly, who is honest to his trust can fail to
support Mr.. Locke's resolution which
provides for probing this scandal to the
very core. Let US have light.

IT is represe nted that one of the chief
reasons why Gen. Daniels Sickles wanted
to 60 to congress was that he might Sc
cure the establishment of national park
at Gettysburg. His measure has finally
become law and the necessary money
appropriated. So the MANNED and griz-
zled old hero can return to the restful
repose of private life with the comfort
able consciousness that he has discharged
duty that entities him to the gratitude
of his countrymen. It is certainly most
fitting that the most famous battle field
of the war should be forever preserved
from dissertation.

The Justice In 1t.

Two years ago, when the reduction and
reforms in the fees and salaries of county
officers was passed by the legislature the
argument was used that it would be un-
fair to Office holders to make the re-
auctions take immediate effect because
the officers had been elected under the
understanding that they would be paid
under the law in force at the time of
their election. If there was justice in
this argument then there is Justice in it
still. In case any change should be made
in the fees or salaries of collectors, clerks,
sheriffs and others let the change be-
come operative two years from now. 1t
would be unjust to the taxpayers and
counties to have to pay more than the
law allowed when they elected the present
office holders.-Silver City Sentinel.

different positions, supposedly trusts, can

FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEES
CALL OF THE PoPULIsTs
As Usual In Such Matters the Dis
turbing ana Ever Dissatisfied
Element Bob Up Regardless
of Consequences.

BUTTE, April 3.--On Saturday an cleo
ton for school trustees will be held. and
in public Importance IL appeals as
strongly to the voters as the municipal
election on Monday does. The school
elections in former years have been most
discreditabie to Butte. and to avoid a rep
etition and in the interests of the schools,
a citizens ticket with Mrs. Clinton III.
Moore and L. M. Ford was nominated at
a meeting Of the leading citizens of Butte.
Both candidates were considered the best
qualified for the responsible positions of
any that could have been nominated. and
il was the general belief and hope that II
would be the means of quieting any fac
tional or sectarian feeling. The disturb
ing and un-American element of Butte
was not satisfied, however, and two other
candidates we're nominated in secret, and
an effort will be made to elect them. At
least one OF the dark lantern candidates
is as little qualified for the Office as IL
would be possible to imagine, as has fre-
quently been demonstrated by his actions
on the present board of trustees. -
Recognizing the importance OF the cleo
tion of Mrs. Moore and Mr.. Ford the pop
ulist party to-day issued the following ad-
dress to the public:
Voters Of the Peoples Party: IL
The undersigned. nominees OF the popuist
party Tor tne coming city election anu membtIs ,
OF the city central committee believing that the
same issues are involved In tn !, approaching
school election as in the city election, advice
our friends TO vote the Peoples Tickle for
school trustees The open. public manner In
which Mrs. Moore and Mr.. Ford received their
nominations, the personnel OF the conventions
which nominated them, as well as the charac-
ter and qualifications OF the candidates all
should appeal to the good Judgment OF the
voters Of Butte and friends OF the public
schools. We cannet afford TO deliver over the
control OF the pubic schools to the representa-
tives OF one or another OF the religious parties.
Efficient teachers should not be dis
crimnated against on account OF
Their religious faith. no religious
test should be applied To this
platform Mrs. Moore and Mr.. Ford we under
stand. have applied themselves and it is the
platform of the peoples party. The opposition
ticket. when. where or by whom nominated.
the community generally does not know, GER
tainly cannot appeal to fair-mnded citizens.
worthy purpose does not require such secret
and un- American methods and they should be
condemned at the ballot box. Vote for Mrs.
Moore and Mr.. Ford.

out yet, but the list of aspirants for posi-
tions on the team comprises the best foot

winning team should certainly be chosen.
Tho halfbacks will probably be Francis
Brooks, captain. and Donald Gillis, and
the position OF fullback lies between Tom

VERDICT FoR M,cLEARY.
A. H. Hediey Required to Pay n Com
mission on n Sale of Mines.

A. III. Hediey Required to Pay n Com
mission on a Sale of Mines.
BUTTE, April 3.-The case of p. j. Nc
Cleary against A. H. Hedley, suit for a
commission on the sale of the Golden
Sunlight mines at Whitehall, was on trial
before jury in Judge McHatton's court
to-day. McCleary testified that Hedley
owned the mines and made a proposition
to bond them to McCleary for year for
$4,000. He made an examination of the
property and concluded that he did not
want to take it, but he told Hedley that in
his travels he might meet some one that
would take the property and said that if
he could sell them he would charge He'd
ley only 10 per cent, to which Hedley
agreed.
Some time after that McCleary met Ber-
nard Mcdonald of the American Develo D.
ing & Mining company and told him about
the Hedley mines. Mcdonald was
anxious to see them and McClearys ac-
companied him to Whitehall, introduced
him to Hedley and they examined the
property. Mcdonald offered McCleary a
commission also in case he made the pur-
chase. Nothing further was said and Nc
Cleary paid no more attention to the m At
ter. Several months later he read IN the
paper that the sale had been made and he
at once came to Butte from his home IN
Madison county to claim his commission,
but Hediey had gone to California. When
lie returned McCleary demanded his pay.
but Hedley stood him of, saying that he
had not been paid for the mines yet, and
finally he refused to pay him at all and
told him to go TO McD 5naid, and the suit
followed. McCleary claimed that Hedley
got $4,000 for the property and he de-
manded 10 per cent. of 1t.
Mr.. Hediey's testimony was a general
denial of everything said by McCleary.
He denied that there ever was anything
said about a commission and said that
McCleary never manifested any interest
in the sale of the property and never
made any inquiries about the progress OF
the sale to Mcdonald. Hedley said that
McCleary had nothing to do with the sale.
The consideration he said was only SIS, :
600. although the deed was for SIS 900.
Tho case was given to the jury at 4
o'clock and they were out over an hour
and then returned with n verdict for Nc
Cieary for 81, ,25o. or per cent. of SIS, 900.
