intimationS from various sources of a
resuScitation of the famous Rough Rid

with this view We're made before the
disbandment of the command at Mon

prospect of the regiment being again
sent into active service. members say
it would have remained intact. But
the boys did not propose to do garrison
duty in time of peace. There has been
IA general reluctance on the part of the
public to let the regiment die out, and
as these attempts do not seem to dimin-
ish at all, it is not unreasonable to
believe that there is a fair chance of the
Rough Rider regiment re%-appearing in
the regular army establishment under a
somewhat altered or modified form, per-
haps as the 18th cavalry as many have
suggested. According to the talk in
this territory, a New Mexico-Arizona
squadron would cut Il large figure in the
reorganization, with Major Fritz Muller
in command, and an effort will be made
to put Colonel Brodie in command of
the regiment if it is organized There
is one thing pretty certain, if the scheme
carries, viz: That many veterans OF
the old 9th cavalry will be transferred
to the new regiment, the 9th having
been Major Muller's old command. A

Editor New Mexican.
Socorro, N. NJ. Feb. Ia, 1S99.-Allow
one of your readers to say that your re-
sent editorial in vindication of New Mex
ico's attitude toward the question of
education deserves the hearty indorse-
ment of every citizen of the territory.
Unfortunately it is true that New Mex
leo does not occupy an enviable position
in the scale of illiteracy, but in view of
past conditions and present prospects it
may be confidently expected that her
critics will soon find among themselves a
more shining mark for their shafts of
''envy, malice and all un-Godliness."
But the writer's object in addressing
himself to you, Mr.. Editor, is to call
attention to what is being accomplished
at one of the educational institutions of
the territory. This will probably serve
as all illustration of what is being &C.
complished in others.
The New Mexico School of Mines was
lOuIucu NY VIC UtIlluOlldl lcSlSIhUuiO III
1889, 'to furnish facilities for the edu-
cation of such persons as may desire to
receive instruction in chemistry. metal
lurgy, mineralogy, geology, mining, mill
ing. engineering, etc" The act Great
ing the school was later supplemented
by another in accordance with the terms
of which a laboratory building, one of
the very finest in the west, was erected
at a cost of about $45, 900. The doors
of the institution were opened in Sep
TENDER of 1893. 1t is pleasant to note
that, after a hard struggle against I'M
favorable circumstances, the school is
in a far more hourishing condition than
ever before. Its meager revenu has
been expended with extreme care so as
to accomplish much with little, and it's
patronage now.surpasses the most san
guine expectations entertained by its
friends a year ago.

Seventy two embryo soldiers gradua-
ted Wednesday, from the United States
Military Academy at West Point, and
will tie given commissions as second
lie%utenants in the army Immediately.
As the regular time of graduating is in
June, this shortening of the course by
four moths indicates the appreciation
of the military needs of the hour by the
national administration. Graduating
at this time of the academic year, espe-
cially in such times as are now obtain
ing, is evidently a wal measure, and the
times dipping peace appear to be some
distance off. A recent intimation from
the war department is that most of the
volunteers are likely to be held for the
full term of their enlistment.

will make it possible to meet these needs
at an early date.
The New Mexico school of mines de-
serves adequate means of making itself
all that its founders intended it to be.
The young men of New Mexico deserve
an opportunity to qualify themselves
within their own borders for the con-
Stantly increasing demand for such
technical knowledge of mining as the
school of mines is designed to afford.
New Mexico herself deserves a better
place than she now occupies in the scale
of illiteracy. These ends may be at
tanned by a liberal support of the edu-
cational institutions of our territory, as
was so happily suggested by you, Mr..
Editor, in the article referred to in the
beginning.
Inasmuch as the territory has $50, 900
invested in the school of mines, and the
scholarship is shown to be quite large,
the institution is certainly entitled to
support from the territory. There is no
reason why the school with the proper
backing should not reach a degree OF
efficiency on Il par with the Colorado
School of Minesin Golden. The COLORADO

perfecting the geological examinations
of the state, and has had the effect of
developing the mining resources of the
section by placing men in the field who
were competent in the matter of scien-
tiic mine management and handling
advanced machinery, Eastern capital
lists are more willing to invest money in
a mining region where they can secure
the services of competent managers to
attend to the work of development and
exploitation. The school of mines, by
all means, should be fostered, for the
future greatness of the territory of New
Mexico depends largely on the mining
industry. Hon. H. y. Bursum has in
troduced a bill in the council to provide
a dormitory for the school and while the
territory is in debt and must curtai) eX-
penses, the amount asked is 81 small
and the object 80 worthy, that there is
no doubt but what the request will be
acceded to by the legislature.

Judging from the amoun of snow in
the mountains of northern New Mexico
and southern Colorado, it will be well
for the citizens of El Paso to prepare
for a flood. 1t may be that there is not
water enough in the Rio Grande to sup
ply irrigation reservoirs in this territory
and allow the people who are interested
in a land booming scheme in the Pass
city, to have a surplus left over to make
a fattering showing to possible invest
ors, but all the same indications point to
a water supply in the springs which will
give El Pasoans that tired feeling so
often heard of.

ance the school of mines may safely
challenge comparison. The total en-
rollment for last year was n; the enroll
ment for this year is now 50, and is still
increasing. The students in attendance
may be classified as follows: Total en-
rollment, So; increase over last year.

age age, II years. The enrolment
would have been larger, but fer the fact
that several applicants for admit
lance have been turned away because
of lack of facilities for their accOmmo-
dalton.
One feature of the attendance at the
institution deserves special attention.
Reference is had to the large percent
age of young men, more than One-third
the total enrolment. belonging to the
native population. They take a lively
interest in the work assigned them and
make gratifying progress. If the other
educational institutions of the territory
are as literally patronized by this ele-
ment of population as the School of
Mines is, it will not be long until the unfa-
vorable criticism passed upon New Mex
leo by her enemies will lose its point, If
it has any.
The act creating the school provides
that the institution shall be supported
by an annual tax of one-ffth of a mill
on all taxable property within the terri
tory. When this act was passed, the
taxable property of the territory was
valued at $45, 600, 900, so that it was
clearly the intention to provide the
school with an income of at least $1,000
per annum. Circumstances have con
spired, however, to reduce this income
to only about one-half what the founders
of the school thought necessary and in
tended to provide for its maintenance.
This fact has greatly curtailed the USE
fulness of the institution, but its friends
hope for better things. The school of
mines represents one of the foremost in
dustries of the territory, and can easily
be made the leading agency in the de-
velopment of that industry. This fact
Is so potent that it will hardly escape
the attention of those to whose hands
the interests of the territory are entrust-
ed. In this connection 1t is In point to
state that the director of the faculty Of
the school has recently received from
outside parties several letters of inquiry
concerning opportunities for mining and
milling enterprises in New Mexico.
Professor +. A Jones, for several
years United States assayer for
the port of Kansas City, is now
director of the school of mines. He
has but two assistants. There Is alb
solutely need of three additional in
structOrs to meet the demand for
instruction now being made upon the
institution. Additional apparatus and
supplies are also necessary. 1t is earn
estly hoped that favorable legislation

Protection Still Necessary.

A study of trade conditions in the
United States, a glance at the amounts
of exports as compared with the imports,
will convince any II that this has be-
come an exporting country. and the
change has been brought about within
the past 30 years under a protective
policy, with the exception of four years
Of Democratic control, when, under a
low tariff, imports increased and ex-
ports diminished.
The significance of this change in the
commercial side of the nation is enough
to cause a total revolution of opinion
among that class of politicians and peo-
pie who have heretofore posed as free
traders. Under a protective policy the
necessity of importing such articles as
those embraced in the manufacture OF
iron and steel, tin plate, cloth manufac-
| lures, and the thousand and one Other
| things which enter into the everyday
life of the American people, has
ceased and they are now supplied
BY home industries, prices have been
lowered, and employment has been
given thousands of wage earners who
contribute to the prosperity OF the
country. Under the stimulus OF com
petition, labor saving machinery has
been invented and introduced in all
branches of manufactures, the output
increased, and at the same time the
scale of wages has been kept above that
of European countries.
Resulting from these conditions,
American producers are now able to
enter the markets of the world" in
competition with all OF the other nations
and command large proportion OF the
trade by reason Of low prices and eS-
cellence of goods. Owing to the ability
of the manufacturers of this country to
sell their product in competition with
that of English, German, French and
other concerns, the free traders are
clamoring for the abolition of protec-
ton, claiming that there is no longer
any need of it. But such is not the
case. Protection is needed today as
much as it was needed to establish the
tinplate industry.
Under anything like equal privileges
in American markets, the English and
German manufacturers would soon re-
gain the ground lost in this country and
imports would increase to such an ex-
tent that mills would be closed again
and the workmen employed therein
would soon be in need of free soup
houses to prevent starving in a and of
plenty. Because of the high rate of
wages paid in the United States, unless
European methods of living are to be
introduced, protection must always be
maintained. This fact has been de-
mostrated time after time, and it is
strange that the Cobdenites of the
country will continue to butt their
heads against a stone wall of cold, prac-
tical experience.
