POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

Registration days have come and
gone and the Democrats are now sure
winners In this Republican stronghold.
Last Saturday there were 1876 regis
tered, which makes total OF 500 re-
gistered all together. There was
little wranglin2 at the registration
polls, but nobody was seriously hurt,
several were bruised up
little in endeavoring to crowd to the
door. All the Democrats are jubilant
but the Republicans are not saying
much, as they we'll know they are de-
feated in one Of their banner districts.
They will, no doubt, hold more har-
mony meetings at Star Hill to discuss
the situation. Down at Willow Grove
149 persons were registered, which
leaves about 80 off the list, while at
Camden about 100 won't get to vote,
on account Of not being registered
Camden Correspondent of Delawarean.
The costs of the suit which resulted
in judgment against the Democratic
Inspectors, flor Kent county, 1885,
saddles upon each one of these poor
men, who can ill-afford il, a debt Of
about $3.50. Now let us see if their
advisers will come to their relief in
their hour Of distress. Let us see if
they will be as ready with their cash as
they were with their advice. 1t is a
safe bet that they will be advised to
repudiate or flee the State. The party
tt.at received the benefits Of the steal
ought in all fairness to come to their
relief and pay the bill.-Sentinel.
The Every Evening says of the COM
ing election: Voting in Delaware
means more this year than it ever did
before. Our elections are now safe
garded by the most stringent provis-
ions against fraud or corruption of any
kind, There is every assurance that
the result will be full and fair express
sion Of the popular will. Under these
conditions, it should be regarded as q
pleasure, as we'll as dnty, to vote.
There is a wide spread impression
from the character Of the Inspectors
appointed by Governor Tunnel, (the
appointees being from names furnished
by local committees) that something
"orhery" is intended in connection
with the election Nov. 6th.-Smyrna

An impression prevails that vote
who does not desire to vote for one Of
candidates on his party ticket, must, if
he marks off the name of such can
didate, insert in lieu thereof the name
Of one Of the other regularly nominated
candidates for such office. This is not
correct, The voter has right to
scratch me from his ticket without
substituting any other name in its
place. He cannot, however, substi-
tute any name he pleases in place of The
name stricken off. If he desires to
substitute name, IL must be that of
one of the other regularly nominated
candidates for the same office, whose
names appear on the official ballot. A
ballot with any other name substituted
for an erasure must be, u9der the law,

NO POLITICS IN 1T.

The murdelous assault made upon
James M. Kemp by Samuel Jones on
Saturday night at Masten's Corner was
not the result Of a political row or
argument; as has been published. On
the contrary, the trouble resulted from
a heated debate as to which of the two
men could REST feed a threshing ma
chine.
Kemp and Jones, with crowd Of
other men, were talking about feeding
threshing machines in MINERS store,
and Jones, the colored man, made
some offensive remarks concerning the
inability Of Kemp OF any other white
man to best him at feeding a threshing
machine. Kemp kept up the banter,
and black man named Seward pre-
cipitated free fight by throwing a
scale weight at Jones. 1t hit the man
on the jaw, and with a cry Of pain
Jones rushed from the store to the
street, drawing revolver as be ran.
Kemp following was shot by Jones.

The registration for the qualificat ion
of voters at the coming election was
completed last Saturday. The oDjec-
tions to the law are now apparent.
While every man should strive to pay
the registration fee from his own earn
ings, the provision imposing penalty
on any one, volunteering aid in such
master is entirely too stringent. We
say this because The temptation to aid
is entirely too great. While a voter
should not sell his vote for any COAST
deration. be might, with much pro-
priety, be allowed to borrow money to
pay the registration fee. According to
reports, various subterfuges were used
to evade the law. Such course tends
to wrong doing and the effect is d-mor-
alizing. The law to prevent fraudulent
voting cannot b. too strict, but, at the
same time, it should be easy for every
bona fide citizen to qualify to yotr. 1t
ia an outrage for any one to cheat a
citizen out of his vote. Manhood and
bona fida residence should Le tie test
to registration. and not question If
how the money to pay the registration
fee was procured. The provision was
violated with impunily, if reports are
to be credited, and The law will, most
likely, be ONE dead letter in the near
future. Il was intended to benefit one
party at the expense Of the other, and,
therefore, the provision is wrong and
should be changed at the earliest per-
iod possible. We should have full re-
gistration OF voters and any law that
disfranchises man because he is poor
is blot on our State.-Daily Republ-

UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.
Through Courses Of Study-Summer Nor

Through Courses Of Study-Summer Nor
nal TO Be Held in August.
The commencement easOn at the Uni
versity Of New Mexico this year has been
the most successful in the history Of the
institution, not simply by reason Of the
large crowds and enthusiasm OF those In
attendance or the excellence OF the pro-
grams OF class day and commencement
night, but particularly because OF the
evidence everywhere visible Of improve
ments and extension In all departments.
The faculty has decided to make no con-
cessions to the prevailing idea that a col
lege In the west cannot keep up to the
standards OF eastern institutions, but has
made the requirements the same as for
Harvard or Cornell, and has thrown cor.
respondingly more work on the high
schools. The normal school has been
provided with a full four years course,
and now has a model or practice school
attachment, which places II upon a
higher basis than any but the larger nor
NAL schools OF the east.
The faculty OF the college has been in
creased from s TO Is and the new ap.
pOintees are, most Of them, graduates OF
the best universities, so that the Uniyer-
Sly Of New Mexico il now as we'll
manned as any in the southwest. The
scientific work has been strengthened
and research courses established and sew
eral publications issued. The Interns-
tiOnal Journal Of Comparative Neurology
is edited by the president Of the uniyer-
sity and there is now In process Of publi-
cation an extensive series OF bulletins
devoted 20 the scientific research carried
on In the university. The students issue
an annual and will edit a monthly paper
during the coming year. That this
growth and enthusiasm Is not confined to
the university is shown by the fact that
nearly all OF the higher institutions OF
the territory have united in the estab-
lishment OF a summer normal and SCI
ence assembly TO be held In the uniyersi-
ty building during the month Of August,
at which time the best talent in the ter
ritOry will give courses Of a practical
character In science and In normal work,
The laboratories will be open TO all and
there will be absolutely no expense tor
instruction. Credit will be given Ia
such a. desire as in university extension
work.
