The city civil engineer is busy these
days in completing the survey for the
widening of Forest avenue. Many of the
buildings along the line of the proposed
route of widening will have of necessity
to be moved. In the work many of the
handsome lawns will be almost entirely
taken away to allow the county commits

the new road. While the land owners
and property holders will be called upon
to suffer this almost irreparable loss the
public will be rewarded by handsome

A GOOD many people seem to be under
the impression that work on the big Sci
den dam in the Mesilla valley has beer
suspended indefinitely for lack of funds
that the company interested in this enter.
prise is in bad way, and that the pro
ject has reached a standstill from which il
can hardly hope to recover. careful
reading of the New MEXICAN would be q
great help to those who hold opinions as
indicated above. From this journal they
might learn the true cause of what ia only
temporary suspension of construction
work, also that work of this character
will be resumed on May l. One of the
officers of the company residing in Lon
don, went off to the continent, reglectine
to send over money for the April pay roll
through an oversight that might happen
to anyone. He being the only official OF
the corporation authorized to advance
money for paying the help, work was
naturally suspended until reasons for the
delay could be explained. Immediately
upon his return to London the deficiency
was made good, and the construction Of
this great dam, which means 80 much to
the future of Mesilla valley, will be re.
sumed on May l.

The house of representatives pssse.
the Dingley bill with the retroactive
amendment and several other amend
ments prepared by the ways and means
committee without single break in the
column of Republican support. The
retroactive clause makes goods imported
into the United States subsequently, to
April l and which we're not bought and
ordered previous to that date, subject to
the duties named in the act. The loyal
Republ licans of the house saw at once
that to let the measure go through with
out snch clause would be to defraud the
government of millions of dollars, which
would go straight into the pockets of
certain long-headed New York importers,
with an eye on the breaches of federal
legislation, to the end of making money
honestly or dishonesty as the case might
be, it would not matter to them which.
With the supposition that the upper
house contained a number of str ong men
the bill WAS sent on its way and in due time
came up for consideration in the body
that has been termed, justly or unjustly
the "Millionaires' club" It did not take
this body long to knock out the retro.
active clause, and thus proclaim itself
once more the friend of the capitalists.

The Denver Republican truthfnlly
illustrates the Turko- Grecian situation in
recent cartoon entitled "Waiting for q
Meal" Turkey and Greece are repre-
sented by two fierce looking individuals
about to engage in mortal combat with
broad swords. Hovering about these two
figures are vultures, labeled England
Germany, Russia, etc. England has her
long beak thrust very close to the two
combatants, rs is her custom in such con-
tests, while the other vultures remain at a
respectful distance, patiently waiting for
the prospective 'meal." 1t represents
the European situation exactly. Having
once provoked Turkey and Greece to
combat, the powers are now doing the
vulture aet-they are lowering about in
the expectation of getting good slice.
They may get it, and ther again they may
not

CoL0RED CADETS.

| Certain young snobs who are being edu
Gated at the governments expense at tht
Annapolis Naval academy, threaten to re-
sign because Congressman W. B. Shattuc
of the First Ohio district, has decided to
appoint colored boy TO cadetship in
that institution, won in a competitive
examination. These youngsters should
be soundly spanked and then sent home
to their respective mamas' to learn better
manners and to be drilled in the consti-
tuition of the United States. 1t is about
time that this spirit of caddishness were
everlastingly stamped out in the two gov.
ernment schools where young men are
prepared for the army and navy. We
have had good deal of nonsense of this
kind in past years, and several worthy
young men have been driven from these
schools on account of their color-men
who would have proved a credit to the
service. colored boy has just as good
a right to the educational facilities main
tanned at West Point and Annapolis by
the United States government, as white
boy, and sentiment which denies equal
privileges in any school of America,
must be set down as unmanly, ungener-
Gus and unworthy Of American recogni-
tion. OF course the sentiment which
would refuse colored boys admission TO
these government institutions, If II could,
is not approved by majority of the
cadets. On the contrary, it comes from q
little clique of alleged southern aristo-
Gratis who desire to maintain the color line
and keep alive the issues settled by a
bloody war The south, however, is not
running West Point and Anne polls, as IL
did 80 years ago. These schools belong
to the people, and are engaged in train
ing young men chosen from among the
people mot representatives Of faction)
for officers in the army and navy. The
system of competitive examinations now
in vogue has had the effect Of dissi pating
certain ideas of exclusiveness that once
attached themselves to these schools, and
at the present time the Glasses are recruit-
ed from all grades of society. Thunder this
system a oolored boy wins a cadetship, he
should have it, and these young oads who
think themselves too good to associate
with him, should be allowed to resign.
The service will be better off without
them in the long run.

Special Correspondence New Mexican.
Las Vegas, April 23.-Las Vegas has
been considerably excited over the acts
of one Bias Sanches, deputy probate
clerk. He has forged considerable coun.
ty paper and disposed of the same to a
private citizen here who, / am informed
is apt to experience considerable trouble
in clearing his own skirts of participa-
ton. 1t is claimed that he was a party
to the scheme to beat San Miguel county
out of $4,000 or $4,000. Had it not been
that the Bateman law compels accounts
against the county to be passed upon
within a certain length of time, it is my
opinion that this fraud and stealing would
never have come to light, as it is there
was discovery merely on account of the
bringing of suit TO collect the amount
covered by the forged accounts. San
ches belonged to the Union party "push"
and number Of his friends went on his
bond. However, they have given him
over to the sheriff, and it will be rather
difficult for him to secure other bonds
