For some time the LIBERAL has
been trying to impress upon It's read
ers that the educational system Of
New Mexico is topheayy. In the ter
ritory is the University, the Agricul-
tural College, the School Of Mlaes, the
Normal School at Silver City, aud an
other ose at Las Vegas, ard the Mill
tary Institute at Roswell, all support
cd by the taxpayers OF the territory.
FheTe is a tax laid on al The property
IN the assessment rolls Of the territory
which amounts TO one aud three
quarters mills on each dollar for the
support OF these Institutions. II there
were enough scholars In the territory
TO keep these institutions busy the
LIBERAL would be the last IN the ter
rltory 10 oppose the appropriations, or
ever more liberal ones, but the cata-
lognes OF the various institutions show
that outside Of the preparatory depart
meuts, which are u 10 opposition TO
the local high schools, there are not
enough scholars IN the territory to
keep more than u OF the institutions
busy. Taking these facts into con
sideration the LIBERAL thinks that
keeping all these Institutions going IS
an unnecessary tax on those who have
10 pay thebil, or speaking in the YER
nacular Of the day 10 Is "robblng the
taxpayers" Ofeourse Is Is appreelat-
ed that the residents 0f each town
where one Of these Institutions As loca-
ted want their particular ipsututlon
retained 90 the list They appreciate
that ia order to have the Legislature
make an appropriation for thelr partlc-
nlar school they must boost for all
the others. When the citizens of

come before the legislature and all
pull for the same bill the bin is likely
TO become a law. The %favorite
scheme Of the people who arc inlercs-
ted Ia tho various institutions is to-
have as long a list OF scholars as Is
possible, aud so the preparatory de-
partmenls IN the various institutions
are pushed as far as possible. Recent.
ly the LIBERAL commented on the
work OF the University authorities in
this direction, the University having
adopted The highest two grades OF the
Albuquerque high school. This
caused the funny man df the Albu-
QLerQuc Citizen to write an editorial
on the subject The flst OF which is
that pupils from all over the territory
are allowed TO attend the University
and 50 Of course the pupils living in
Albuquerque have tbs same right.
The Citizen main does not Distinguish
between The University pruner and
preparatory department.. President
Herrick Of the University writes the
Liberal a letter on the same subject.
lie says the entrance examinations OF
the University arc on a par With those
OF auy eastern University, that there
is not a high school IN tho territory
which can properly prepare students
for admission 90 the University SO 10
has been necessary to help the high
schools out Al Of which goes to
prove that tic argument Of The LIN
uRAL IS right, that the educational
system ~ the territory is %toabeavy.
The University, With y faculty Of
eighteen meIubers, had. last year, Just
one student in the University proper

AMONG the announcements appear,
ing in the Liberal this week Is tLat
OF NJ. w, McGrath, who desires the
nomination as sheriff on the demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. McGrdth has been
n life long democrat, always working
for the good OF the party and deserves
the nomination. The democrats OF
this section OF the Grant county have
never asked for so important an Office
as sheriff before. and as they furnish
a good share Of the democratic voters
OF the county this request should be
granted by reclamation.

FROM reading the announcements
in the papers one would conclude that
the only republican in the county who
wants 10 run for oilce Is II. II. Belts
IL this is correct the LIBERAL sees nu
especial need OF holding u county con.
vention. Let Mr.. Belts be conceded
the nomination, aud let the rcpubli-
cans who want to go to the territorial
convention pull straws for choice.

A DINGLEY TRIUMPH.
Wire Men Tied Up in Trust which
Cannot Rr Broken.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Feb. 2, 1s98.-The
Leader says:-The American Steel and
Wire Company, in other words the con-
solidation of the entire American wire
industry, seems to be an accomplished
fact. One of the strongest indications in
support of the conclusion is a sudden and
marked stiffening in the price of wire and
nails, which has come generally this
week. The price was put up on Monday
over a dollar ton beyond what was
previous to the recent temporary drop,
and as much as SO, 81 or S. a ton over
some prices for wire which were reported
as having been made last week.
Now the price announced is $1.S0 for
wire and $1.55 for nails and another adj
vance of five cents hundred pounds is
to be made in March.
Whether it be really true or not that all
formalities in the formation of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Co.have been complet-
ed, that consummaton is certainly so near
at hand that the end has practically come,
ana the biggest undertaking that the iron
industry of the world has ever witnessed
may be said to be successfully completed.
This huge concern with a capitalization
of $S7,0G0000, all representing property,
owns all the establishments in the coun-
try with which wire rod mills are con-
nected. 1t is no mere agreement, pool
or trust, but an absolute absorption of the
property of the concerns consolidated and
the former owners who now hold stock
cannot dissolve the combination by any
withdrawal

MARTIN MURDER TRIAL
Jury Not Yet Secured to Try the
PennsyivanSa sheriff

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb. 2, 1898.
entire morning session of the Criminal
Court was consumed in an effort to COM
plete the jury for the trial of Sheriff
Martin and his sixty-five deputies, but
when court adjourned at one o'clock only
three more names had been added. This
makes a total of ten jurors, and it is
doubtful whether the jury will be COM
pleted before tomorrow.
A majority of the men examined this
morning said that their opinions would
not be materially changed by the evidence.
Challenges for cause were numerous and
the court sustained many of them. At
the present rate the trial is likely to drag
for two or three weeks.
The prosecuting committee of Hazleton,
in expectation of the case being opened
this afternoon were busy arranging their
witnesses in the order in which they will
be called. Most of those who will be
heard first are foreigners. There are
about seventy foreigners here at present
in charge of the prosecuting committee.
The. other witnesses for the common
wealth. some eighty in number, will be
brought here as required. 1t is not known
how many witnesses the defence has.
The jurors selected today were:-C. c..
Ransom, a contractor of Plymouth town
ship; B. M. Reed, farmer of Ross town
Ship and Jonas OXrider, a carpenter of
Sugarloaf township.

Protection Which WIFI Harrow the

by Cable to The Associated Press
BERLIN, Feb. 2, 1S9S.-The Prussian
Minister of Finance, Dr. Miguel issued
a decree yesterday, which goes into effect
Immediately, prohibiting the importation
of every kind of, American fresh fruit.
The decree has been sent to all the Ger
man ports and frontier stations, except
ing Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemburg.
The United States Embassy was not pre-
viously warned and the United States
Ambassador, Mr.. Andrew D. White, sent
a formal letter to the Foreign Office to-
day einquiring upon what authority this
inimical step was taken.
The United States Consul at Hamburg,
DR.. Hugh Pitcairn, telegraphs that 5000
barrels of American apples have been for
bidden to be unloaded, and that two
trains full of American fruit have also
been forbidden to cross the frontier at
Emmerich, which, aside from Hamburg,
is the principal place of entry for Amer-
ican fruit
On receipt of this news, Mr.. White sent
a second and stronger remonstrance to
the Foreign Office, calling attention to
the evident violation of the treaty.
At the Foreign Office it was learned that
the Prussian Government prohibits the en-
try of American fruit ON sanitary pre-
text claiming that California and other
vermin threaten to infect German trees
and fruit.

TRENTON, Feb. 2, 1S9S.-Some one
must have put a flea in the ear of those
who are directing the legislation this
session, for when the Assembly assem-
bled yesterday afternoon Mr.. Gledhill
moved that the committee which was
appointed to investigate the alleged ir-
regularities in Hudson county be given
full power to investigate any other coun-
ty in the State. The resolution was car
ried.
No one was deceived by this movement.
1t is too well known that the partisan
character of the committee precludes it
from doing anything which will not be
of benefit to the Grand Old Party and
that it will be a much colder day than
it was here yesterday when the COM
mittee visits Camden or any other county
in which the Republicans are in power.
Nevertheless the resolution was adopted
with due solemnity and the Republicans
are now beating their breasts in their
endeavors to call attention to this Brutus-
like virtue and intention to ferret out
corruption, no matter whom it hits
When the resolution had passed, Mr..
Marnell arose in his seat and with the
most whitening sarcasm thanked the lead

Police Captain Charles Cox addressed the
patrolmen in the First precinct last night.
At roll call he had twenty-five men, including
the platoon going on duty and the reserve

JOHN BULL RACES.
Severe Comment Upon The Back
down In the Chinese Fight.

lBy Cable to The Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 2. 1S9S.-The afternoon
newspapers, today, comment in the most
severe terms upon the alleged with
drawal of Great Britain's demand for the
opening of the port of Ta-Lien-Wan.
Some of them refuse to credit the report.
The Globe says
mo wonder if the opponents of the Min
istrly regard it as a national humiliation
when its supporters are unable to find
reasonable excuse for it. The public was
led to believe that Sir Michael Hicks
Beach and other Cabinet Ministers meant
what they said, so the Ministers have only
themselves to thank if they lose prestige
at home and abroad through the with
draWal of-tEe Ta-Lien-Wan demand.
England, with her vast naval strength
and enormous resources, has the game
in her own hands fif the Ministers will
only play it with the necessary spirit
An official statement on the subject,
just issued, is as follows
No communication can at present be
published concerning the Times - Ia
Lien-Wan report, or the negotiations as
a whole. The negotiations, thus far, are
absolutely confidential Many kilograms
from China contain statements not
merely going far beyond the Govern
ment's information, but, in some in
stances, quite at variance with known
facts
