New Mexico School Lands.

The action of the house committee on
public lands, ON yesterday, in agreeing
to allow the territory of New Mexico to
select at once about half the school
lands that it would be entitled to when
admitted as a state, was a in the
right direction, and it is sincerely hoped
the bill will be passed by both branches
of congress Immediately. OF course the
people of the territory would have been
better pleased had they been granted
the full amount, but a half loaf is better
than none at all, and in this case will be
received with thanks.
The ad justment of land claim titles
in recent years has opened large areas
of public land to entry and settlement,
and settlers have naturally taken up the
more valuable tracts. In view of the
fact that the settlement of all public
lands promises to be much more rapid
from this time on than in the past, it is
no more than just that the schools OF
New Mexico should have the best of
every tract available for that purpose,
that has not already been taken up,
which can be accomplished if the bill
now in congress becomes a law.
Another effect of securing school lands
at this time will be TO remove one of thu
objections to the admission of New Mex
leo as a state. Whenever that has beer
attempted the solons from the eastern
states have come forward with the plet
of objection that the territory has not
suitable public school system, and unit
that is established the people must o
necessity remain in a state of ignoranct
that units them for the privilege of full
citizenship. With the money to be de
rived from the lease and sale of schoo
lands the schools can be placed on {
plane with those of the states, although
the fact is, the public schools in man!
sections of New Mexico compare favor
ably with those of the cities and district,
in eastern commemorative.
Congress will confer u great favo.
upon New Mexico by taking prompt &C
ton OF the bill and passing it withou
further delay.

Consider the Source.

Governor Otero, under the provisions
of chapter / of the Session laws of 1893,
says the New MEXICAN, has cited Thos.
j. Bull. a memberof the board of regents
of the Agricultural college, of Las CRU
ces, to appear before him on March 4
next. at the executive Office in that city,
to answer certain charges of dereliction
of duty, now pending in the executive
Office against him. The charges are in
connection with financial matters con-
nected with Mr.. Bulls duties as secre-
tary and treasurer, but while still a
member of the board. Is this political
persecution or executive earnestness for
the public ~weal?-Optic.
1t is political earnestness for the pub
lie veal" my friend, for those who are
acquainted with the course Governor
Otero has pursued, are well aware that
he is not engaged in political persecu-
ton" His one object in this matter
has been to promote the prosperity and
happiness both of the people and the
children of the territory, by placing a
board of regents at the head of the Ag-
r~icultural college that will work for its
interests and not %submerge it in the
filthy political mire of the southern part
Of the territory, as has been the ease fol
some years.
There is no doubt, however, but what
an attempt will be made by the political
sycophants and traitors of San Miguel
county to impugn the motives OF Gov
ernor Otero, but the people of the terri
tory will pursue the course adopted by
the Irishman when the burro kicked
him-consider the source, and treat the
attacks accordingly,-Dona Ana Count,
Republican.

coast defense system Is being rapidly
pushed. revision of the monetary laws,
for the purpose of bringing about GER
tain needed reforms in the currency, is
s%trenuously advocated, and the enact
ment of IA new tariff law has already
turned panic and depression into con-
idence and industrial revival, besides
checking the long continued drain upon
the public treasury. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that within a comparatively short
period our systems of defenses will give
US security from outside attack, that
needed financial reforms will be accom-
plished. and that the present industrial
revival will develop into al era of sub

Meets with General Subtraction.

Nothing has occurred since Governor
Otero was inaugurated that gave such
general satisfaction here as the filling of
the vacancy existing in the Office of attor-
ney general for this territory. This vacan-
cy has existed since A. B. Fall was APP
pointed by Acting Governor Miller. He
has always been a de facto officer, and was
not recognized by Governo Otero as at
torney general. He was not removed
by the governor, for he vas not an Off

The new attorney general, Hon. E. l..
Bartlett, needs no introduction to our
readers. He is well known throughout
the territory, is an able attorney and
will efficiently administer the duties Of
his Office. Governor Otero is to be con-
graduated on his choice, which will
doubtless meet with the approval
throughout the territory that vas given

A Question for the Courts.

Our valued contemporary in the flour
ishing town of Las Vegas INDUCES in a
lengthy editorial anent Governor Otero's
action in declaring that q vacancy ex-
listed in the office of solicitor general OF
the territory, holding that Judge A. B.
Fall was ineligible under the law to hold
said Office and in filling the said vacancy
The legal editor of our valued contem.
porary presents a very specious argu-
ment, but nevertheless one that reads
well. But the eminent legal editor
might have gone a little further and
might have shown by items in the APP
preparation laws enacted by the Thirty
first and Thirty-second Legislative as
semblies that the emoluments of the
Office of solicitor general were vitality
increased by the Thirty-second legisla-
tive assembly, of which Judge Fall was
Il member. There exists no reasonable
doubt that taking the very provisions OF
the law quoted by the eminent legal ad-
wiser of our valued contemporary and
the provisions OF the appropriation law
of the Thirty-second Legislative assem-
bly,, that Judge Fall was not legally
eligible to the Office. As far as the CUES
ton as to what person is now solicitor
general de facto and dc jure, the New
MEXICAN thinks that is a question for
the courts. This paper has perfect faith
in the integrity, fairness and learning of
the Territorial Supreme court and will
cheerfully and with alacrity accept the
decision of the court in the case. The
eminent legal adviser of our valued con-
temporary will undoubtedly take the
same position at the proper time.
AS said heretofore in these columns,
If any citizen feels aggrieved at this
action of the executive, there are the
courts of the land open and ready and
willing to redress any and all wrongs.
This question can be discussed in a per-
fectly calm and deliberate manner and
there is no good reason why such should
not be the case. Governor Otero has
acted, as he believes, under the law and
within the strict letter and spirit of the
law. If he is mistaken the courts can
easily and speedily rectify such mistake.
The New MEXICAN is assured by most
eminent attorneys that the governor has
not overstepped the boundaries of the
rights and prerogatives of the executive
as clearly and distinctly prescribed by
law. The future will tell and the New
MEXICAN awaits the outcome with seren.
ity and equanimity, believing the gov
ernor's action to have been absolutely
right and legal.

Governor Otero Showed Good Judg-
ment.

Ever since the president appointed M.
A. Otero governor the wise ones have
been looking for a change in some of the
territorial offices. The expected has
happened and the fun has commenced.
Last week Governor Otero notified the
territorial auditor and treasurer not to
audit or pay any more accounts for
Judge Fall. Judge Falls friends say he
will make "A fight over this action and
will carry the matter to the Supreme
court, congress, the president and as
much farther as he can get it. The
Judge has the reputation of being a
scrapper. and Governor Otero showed
good judgment in picking him out as the
first mar to be attended to. The gov
crnor claims Judge Fall has never right
ly been a solicitor general. The law
forbids the appointment of a member OF
the legislature to an Office the salary OF
~emoluments of which have been in
creased during his term of office as a
legislator, and that the salary and emo.
luments of the solicitor generals Office
were increased by the last legislature.
so Judge Fall was Ineligible to hold the
Office. The governor has appointed d

taxes in the territory have so far made
their report of taxes collected for Feb
ruary of this year. The law gives the
governor power to remove any public
officer who fails to urn over public

cases of collectors, the law specifies ten
days within which public funds shall be
turned over to the proper treasurers. A
removal or two of a dishonest or incom-
