MIST BE MADE A SUCCESS.

The acts of the recent legislature were not all bad and one of the pest ones WAS the appropriatIng of s25OO for the na- tional irrigation congress that meets at Albuquerque next September. This meeting is destined to be one of lm- mense benefit to every portion of New Mexico Every citizen of the territory should put forth every effort to make It a success.-Sap Marcial Bee.
 And every citizen in southern Arizona shouI follow suit. We are deeply in- terested in the success of the coming congress at Albuquerque, as are the people of New M-xico themselves, and should therefore contribute in like measure to it's success. The reperesen- tation from Arizona should be both earnest and able.

SOME of the California newspapers are making much over the indictment of C. P. Huntington for the issuance of a rail road pass. This spasm of virtue should be taken with large sized gram of al lowance. It so happen that the offend CT is a man of great prominence in rail road circles, consequently shining mark for the little fellows to bark and bite at, and further it gives them an op- portupity to make a public exhibition of their own exalted virtues. The whole thing is gamDou of rot. The city of San Francisco is full of corrup- tion. and crime in high places goes un- whipt of justice in the presence of the very grand jury who hoped for little notoriety by the indictment of Hunt inpton, merely because he gave some poor devil railroad pass and they did not get one. That's about all there IS to it. To try the case, if 1t ever IS trieo, will cost the state at least ten thousand dollars, and without the gain of cent or the vindic8tion of principle.

A BILL passed the legislature appro- pristing $500 tor the use of the terri torial museum. The bill had many good friends in the house but passed the council by 6 narrow margin. The ayes were Hons John s. JoOee, of fa- vapai; H. B. Keup, Maricopa, Nj. J. Nugent, Yuma; J. B. Scott, Pima, and A. J. D,ran, councilman at large. The appropriation is for the purpose of prop erly caring for the material now on hand and adding thereto seEtatives of the fauna of the territory. It is money well appropriated and the result will be the beginning of a museum that will be a credit to the territory of Arlzona. The bIrds which have already accumu- lated under the present curatcr-the MrIser-either by gift or labor. make a valuable beginning. To the friends of the museum all thanks are due.

THE failure to pass the appropriation bill by tae legislature is sn ever truthful theme for discussion. but where the end is no one seems to agree. It is generally believed, however, that the legislature cannot be again convened without act of congress authorizing same and mak ing provisions for its expenses. By some the belief is entertained that the presi- dent can order a reconvening of that body for the purpose of passing appro- pristion measures. but for the transac- tion of no business other than that spec iallv enumerated in the order. A speedy solution of the difficulty is hoped for, as it is not possible to run a government without money. The situation. to say the least. is sn exceedingly awkward one. Considerable trouble bids fair to be experienced before the end is reach ed

THE CLOSING HOURS.

The following synopsis of the closing hours of the Eighteenth legislature from the Phoenix Herald will be read with interest.
 "rhe house was virtually in B belli- gerent, not to say anarchist, condition, from three o'clock yesterday afternoon to midnight. Speaker Carpenter proved himself equal to the occasion and in the main held it down by line of strictly parliamentary rulings. making few mls- takes, though he was obliged to reverse his ruling on one or two occasions. The opponents of the Navajo bill had adroit- ly secured the floor in the afternoon and the speaker was not willing that they should be disposed till they might do so of their own volition or by legitimate rulings and points of order. The result was that for seven long hoHrs the con- test for the floor went on and every few minutes he was compelled to decide a point and at times to quell a most tumul- tuous house when feeling would rise to fever heat and seemed On the brink of physical oU tbreak. Finally however the floor was yielded and the Navajo county bill which had really been holding down the prison removal b II went through with rush, to be immediately followed by the appropriation bill, the house being resolved into committee of the whole for its consideration. Again came the contest to set up the prison removal bill however and frequent 8t- tempts to have the committee of the whole srise were defeated. The sppro- priation bill now held down the prison rem. val bill as the Navajo county blll had done ali evening. Thus the contest brought out almost every conceivable point of order and the wave of debate flowed high then log, but all the time the hands of the clock were creeping up toward tEelvs, midnight, and finally reached it and mad passed the point some time when the speaker announced that the body was then sitting merely as a body of citizens. that the limit of time had gone by. Then there YVES con- sternation. The appropriation blll had not passed; other bills had not passed; but it was too late and the speaker pro- claimed the house adjourned sine die

Gazette.

Il ooL0tS6s Although a bill enabling the public schools to continue for two months longer failed to pass the late Legislature and in consequence they have closed this year two months earlider than usual yet some good school Legislation was en . by the 18th assembly. The practice of temporarily colonizing school districts SO as to obtain on unfair spportionment of school funds becomes impossible un- der House Bill 20, which allows $500 to districts having from ten to twenty school children, $500 to districts of over twenty children, and s20 per capita for all excess in average daily attendance over 25.
 Under House Bill 1s6 written con- tracts must be made with teachers, jani- tors and all other school employees, by each board of trustees for the year fol- lowing. Ne relative of trustee can be employed without the unanimous con- sent of the full board. The election of trustees IS changed from the last Satur- day ln June to the same time in ARrch. Each new board must organize on the nrst Monday in April except this year, when the date is set for 30 days from March 21.
 The high school law authorizes any school district of 250O or more inhabi- tants, by majority vote of the qualified electors, to establish a high school dis tricts of similar population may do the same.
 sionAd hP-~--~ss>-ssy of tho trustees of any such district and by 100 electors thereof will require the county school superintendent within twenty days to call sn election, as in the case of voting for 8 school district tax, each ballot being marked "For high school yes" or "no." Should the high school be ordered the superintendent within 15 days next calls @ mass meeting of quali- lied electors to locate the school.
 An estimate of funds needed shall be made by the superintendent by the first of July yearly and officers authorized to levy taxes in county, city or incorporst- ed towns shall levy this amount accor~ dingly.
 A board of education has charge of each high school, composed of five qusl- flied electors in the district, and elected as ordinary school trustees, are. One holds for three years, each of the other pairs for one and two years from the first Saturday in April succeeding their election. The board has a chairman snd clerk, and prescribes the course of study subject to approval by the ter ritorial board of education. Residents of the district are admitted to the high school on examination by it's principal. Non-residents must pay s reasonable tuition besides.
 A petition is Tn circulation to organ ize Q high school for Phoenix and it's suburbs under the new law. The elec- ton occurs April 21. Over 150 sigma lures were obtained within an hour yesterday.

THE Atizona Leader announces that in its next 1t will no longer uphold Gov ernor Hughes, but considerably offers the columns of its paper to the governor for explanations. Before the governor received hls distinguished appointment he was assailed by those with whom he was at cross purposes, and if there has been any cessation in the struggle to knock down and drag out we have fail ed to observe It.
