DOGS ON THE FREE LIST.

Dogs have too long been on the free list in this state for the welfare of stock raising. Let. our legislators put tax on dogs and appropriate it to the public schools.

ing pilasters, standing six feet from the
walls. The main cornice breaks around
a projection of columns supporting
pedestals for groups of statuary ~ feet
high. The center of the pavilion is
crowned by colossal group Of ststuary.
There will be also single statues between
columns resting on stylobate, which will
be projected out to receive them. The
spandrels above the arch will be decorat.
ed with bas reliefs. The end pavilions
with their entrances will be crowned with
shallow domes.
The implements emblematic of mining
are so few that, with the exception of a
few trophies, the entire interior elabora-
ton will be confined to classic orna
ments, and reserve for the wall spaces of
the large center vestibule, which is "a
feet wide and 60 feet long, such elabora-
ton.
The ceiling will be large barrel vault,
with interesting cross-vault, richly cof-
fered and deliberately decorated. On the
wall it is here proposed to have mural
paintings emblematic of mining, placer
workings, packing of ores by "Rocky
Mountain Canaries," and other mining
scenes.

The prospective drawing of the Mines
and Mining building shows handsome
structure designed by John j. Humphreys
along rigid classic lines of the Doric
order, modified to comfort with nine
teenth century requirements. The result
is building of simple dignity and having
an air of repose considered requisite in a
large building.
The facade presents frontage of 400
feet, accumulated at center and end with
pavilions, Ga and 40 feet respectively,
thereby obtaining sufficient variety of
mass. The solidity of these pavilions
and their strong perpendicular lines and
shadows will give strong contrast OF
| light and shade.
The height of the building to the top
of the main cornice is 40 feet; the height
of order 30 feet, resting on stylobate ten
feet high. The height of the center
pavilion to the top of the browning
group of statuary is IS feet, while the end
pavilion is 65 feet to the top of the
dome.
The lighting of the building will be OBJ
tanned by large windows, 10 feet wide by
"a feet high, placed at intervals of 16
feet, and the roof will have lavse sky
light area, making the interior very

PROPHECY CONCERNING INDIA.

Recently the New MEXICAN has pub
lished several articles on the war in India,
settlng forth some of the conditions of
that unfortunate land. Recent develop
ments 60 to show that the Hindoos and
Mahomme dams have joined forces against
the British in an effort to overthrow
that power in the east, and in that con-
nection the following, taken from the New
York Timesis of particular interest:
"There is curious little sketch in that
collection of Kipling's stories called
"Many Inventions" which is not familiar
to the public, but which has an especial
interest at this time. 1t is called zone
View of the Question:" and it purports
to be letter from Mohammedan noble
visiting London to his Rajah. The Mo
hammedan has been sent to England o.
tensibly to make some important pur'
chases, but really to use his eyes and dis.
cover go far as be can the condition OF
things IN the head and center of the en-
pire. His observations are very quaint
and interesting.
| "One fact which has been commented
on extensively at present is the apparent
coalition of the Hindo and Mohammedan
factions against England. The writer of
this letter being a prince, is invited to
dine at various houses of high repute, and
at one of the banquets meets Hinooo
who gives very glib version of the af-
fairs of India Turning then to the Mo-
manned and laying a hand upon the
latter's shoulder, he says: Here is one
who is with US, albeit of another faith; he
will bear out what | say The prince
writes that for the honor of his own land
he preserved placid demeanor, but in
his own dialect, said: Take away that
| hand, man without father, or will make
thee rue this day. Then to the com
pany, in English, he declared that things
were as the Hindoo had said. He serenely
adds in his letter: Sometimes I walk
with him in the streets, that this psap'e
may see and heed, but whac We come to
side street l bid bin walk behind me,
and that is sufficient honor
"Ths little episode throws curious
side light on the coalition.
"The letter is occupied chiefly witt
naive and shrewd opinions of Englisf
society, and with plans for the future
when it Is hoped by the prince that tht
Mohammedans may be able to use the
Uindoos to help them shake off the rule
of the English. The thing which he es
pecially notices is the lack of unity il
England herself, the national councils be
ing guided by men not all of one mint
and shaken by every gust of news. And
all these things he concluded, have
seen whom they regard as wild beas
and a spectacle
"Altogether the epistle impresses one
as being remarkably clever inside view
of the English situation in India, and in
reading 1t one gets glimpse of the grave
dangers which Kipling beheld when he
wrote the warning 'Recessional,' with its
boding refrain:
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
"'Mauy Inventions made Its appear
ance three or four years ago, and some OF
the recent developments in India are vir-
tually foretold in its pages"

He has merely refused to resppoint, and
has made temporary appointments in
order TO carry on the work. His action
has been in strict accordance with the
law, and ia not violation of the civil
service regulations. These regulations
may make it necessary that Colonel
Brady should select his deputies from
the list of eligibles furnished him by the
commission, but it does not compel him
to reappoint men whom he found en-
ployed when he took charge of the
office"
This statement Mr.. Wilson also made
to Representative Lamb, aud the latter,
who had espoused the cause of the old
deputies with good deal of ardor, is al
most convinced that he has very little te
base his protest upon. Owing to the fact
that Colonel Brady's example will prob
ably be followed by all the internal rev
enue collectors throughout the coun.
try, the matter is attracting general at
! teutiOu.
