SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Mr.. ID. NJ. Richards principal Of the

The EAGLE wonld suggest that, now
the teachers of New Mexico are organ

tion with advantage to our educational
Interests as we'll lis to defer the subject

and prepare an act for submission to the
next legislative assembly, preserving

admission to statehood could possibly
accomplish.

THE UNSAFE TERRITORIES. "

The article published elsewhere from
the Atlanta Constitution comparing the
criminal statistics Of Massachusetts
with those of western states might be
enlarged upon and the comparison made
between the localities fro9nented by Mr.
Cleveland and the "uneae' territory Of
New MeXiro.
In New York one person out Of every
523 is criminal.
In Massachusetts one in 428 is a
criminal.
In the District of Columbia one in
lGt.
In all Of New England stnt.s one in
G3l. while in New Mexico there is bu!
one criminal in 40.

commiss on Of crime is concerned stand,

CRIMES AND CRIMINALS.

The volume of census reports deal
ing with crimes aud criminals has just
cen issued. al d although their facts
and figures are five years old they are
full Of interest.
In 1880 there were 52,329 persons in
all the prisons Of the United States. OF
these only G,499 were females, The
number Of prisoners is increasing. In
1850 the ratio Of prisoners to population
was 800 TO each 100000 people. In
1890 it had grown to be l,3lj TO each
l.000000 II population.
Ony one in every thirteen prisoners
is a woman. Some localities seem tu
have more than their share Of criminals
but it may be that the laws arc better
enforced. Maine with about half the
population of Arkansas has about 1l!
prisoners wi lie the latter state has
LIB. Illinois has about 40 per cent
more population than massachusetts,
but the former state has 1916 prisoners
TO 5,a27 in the latter state. II the
average in both statcs lad been the
same Illinois would have over s,oN
prisoners. Massachusetts has 2,33-
prisoners to oach million Of population
higher average than any other state
enst OF the Rocky mountains, aud only
exceeded 10y Montana, Nevada and Cal
ifornin.
The majority q criminals are between
the ages cf fifteen and forty, and th'
largest number are between the ages o.
Fifteen and twenty five. feet whicl
confirms the old theory that betwcci
those ages is the critical period II life

Nearly two .thrde ot the male prisoners

LAND DEPARTMENT.

while possibly capable in many other
directions, know little or nothing Of

subject 70 entry under tue present laws.
Under an impression, no doubt, that
every entryman who applies for title to
government land, has some fraudulent
designs on the public domain, the land
department seems to study hog to OBJ
sruct the requirement Of title rather
than how best to fari itate the business.
Ibe department makes and maintains

sHrdities, readily seen by anyone at all
familiar with the situation in the west.
and especially in the mining localities of
the mountains. 1t holds rigidly TO II
rule in one case and violates it in the
next, and its rulings often bear the in
disputablc stamp OF The ignorance of the
office upon the questions in hand.
1t seems to the EAGLE that each OF
these positions could be filed with refer
ence to tho peculiar fitness of the man
for the particular work he is asked tc
perform. 1t is ms unreasonable to cx.

PROTECTION on wool.

The crop OF republican resolutions on
the question OF wool tariff is now
about ripe and the harvest will soon
begin. Cheap wool means low priced
clothing, blankets and other goods made
from the fleece. The high price of wool
will bring with it the advance in the
cost OF these commodities. Just as the
price of wheat will regulate and control
that of the -four male from it. \ very
small percentage OF the people Of this
country is engaged in the raising of
sheep and producing wool. But sup
poee, for the rurposcr OF Illustration
that one person out of every ten is So
engaged. It may lie proper thing
from a selfish standpoint, for this one to
ask the other nine TO agree to pay him
more than the wool is worth in the
words market. more than they can buy
the same article for from Others, but

opportunities of the one and divided
their own earnings to add to his income
the results would probably be just what
we find them now in this country, after
enforced Contributions for thirty five
years under protective tariff legislation.
the one would, in time, become mill
onaire white the other nine still strug-
gled for a bare subsistence.
The Individual who voluntarily gives
mp to oilers what belongs to him has
none but himself TO blame if he grow s
poor under the proct S., but where a
government. by law, takes from one TO
fill the crfiers of others that which does
not Justly belong to ths m, it commits ii
robbery which caLnot be excused on any
ground of public policy.

DONA ANA AFFAIRS.

The brass collar Republicans and pol
itions of New Mexico have been busy
for some we, ks adjusting the situation
in D0na Ana county to suit their very
peculiar political views. They have de-
mandtd the removal of deputies how
ever faithful in the discharge Of their
duties. who were not members Of THEN
own party. They have even gone SO far
as to suggest the retirement of Mr..
r. L. Young from the office Of district
attorney which he has filled with credit
to himself and advantage to the cause of
good; orderly and decent government.
just why this officers retirement is even
hinted at would puzzle the men who
suggest it to explain. What they or
the community directly interested could
gain thereby is not apparent to anyone
in or out of Dona Ana county.
Bot the promotors of this scheme do
not want decent government-the!
want only republican rule-they don't
desire fair and impartial prosecutions Of
guilty parties, but only seek to involve
democrats in trouble whilc members Of
their own party, however guilty, GO
scott free TO riot to their hearts con
tent.
The EAGLE is pleased to observe that
no reputable republican has engaged il
this onslaught upon upright and faith
Ful democratic officials. It comes only
from the whippersnappers- mostly
wonld-be editors-whose range of vie
ion does not extend beyond their owr
filthy sapctum aud the influence oi
whose illusions never Gnds lodgmen'
except in their own empty heads.
