The Side Walk Ordinance.

The action of the city council in ad-
opting an ordinance making it a mis-
demeanor punishable by fine, for prop
erty owners and agents of property in
this city having unsafe and dangerous
sidewalks in front of their premises, is
a great step in advance and comes none
too soon. 1t is a well known fact that
many of the sidewalks in the city are
positively dangerous and unsafe. Every
law abiding and good citizen, who owns
property here or who is an agent for
nonresident property owners will hasten
to comply with the spirit and letter of
the ordinance repair sidewalks and
keep them in proper shape. The class

On account OF the great quantities of
snow in the mountains in northern New
Mexico and southern Colorado, many
cities along the Rio Grande and its
tributaries are much disturbed over the
possibilities of over flows in the spring.
and action to guard against the dam
age from tloodwaters is being urged in
a number of the papers. And still the
land boomers at Ell Paso object to the
building of reservoirs on the Rio Grande
in New Mexico for the reason as they
allege, there will not be enough water
to go round and that the river is navig-
able, and navigation would be obstruc-
ted-somewhat conflicting arguments.

1t has not been generally known that
both New Orleans and Baltimore have
never had a system of sewerage, and it
seems strange that these citizens should
still be running their sewerage into the
cutters at the close of the 10Th century:
but it is such however is the fact. In
the case of New Orleans, it may be the
more readily understood why this i'm
portant feature of municipal existence
has not obtained there before. in that
the city itself is built on a bog. But the
advance of sanitary engineering has of
late years been such as to leave New
Orleans without further excuse for put
ting off longer the day of sewerage
reckoning, and the business men Of that
city have determined to introduce a sys-
tenn of sewerage specially applicable to
the unusual local conditions. So $4,000
600 will be expended on a sanitary
sewerage system and in the acquisition
and improvements of water works 10Y

Edward Atkinson, the great and only
American statistician, has at last deter
mined in his own mind that the Dingley
tariff law is a failure. Edward has
evidently failed to read the last reports
issued regarding imports and exports,
and also does not care to see the figures
which represent the amount of money
in the treasury of the United States.
Perhaps, to a mind of such mathema-
tical precision as Edward carries around
with him, there is no difference between
a surplus and a deficit.

There promises to be u large and am

the organization of the next United

the choice of such a nature as to en-
courage defeated aspirants to contest
the elections before the senatorial body
itself. The struggle in Montana, for

political d%ebauchery in connection with
that election revamped in all their re-
pulsiveness, in expectation of having

NEW TERRITORIAL INSTITUTIONS


Hon. &. A. Richardson. of Roswell,
has introduced a bill in the council
which provides for the establishment of
four new territorial institutions. The
measure is styled c. B. No. So, and
makes the following provisions:
''There is hereby created and estab-
lished within and for the territory of
New Mexico an institution to be known
as The Reform School of New Mexico
Said institution is hereby located at or
ear the city of Eddy and not more than
one mile from the limits thereof, in the
county of Eddy, and to be located upon
a tract of good, high and dry land of not
less than 20 acres, suitable for the pur-
poses of such institution permanent
water rights for sufficient wat + to irri-
gate the tract to 90 with the land.
"There is also hereby created and es-
tablished within and for the territory of
New Mexico an institution to be known
as the Institution for the Blind Said
institution is hereby located at or near
the town of Alamogordo, in the county
of Otero, and within one mile of the
limits of said town, upon a tract of land
suitable therefor of not less than 20
acres" the deed for the land to carry a
permanent water right to water suffi-
cient to irrigate the tract.
"There is hereby also created and es-
tablished within and for the territory of
New Mexico a Miners Hospital Said
hospital is hereby located at or near the
town of White Oaks, in the county of
Lincoln, and within one-quarter OF a
mile of the limits of said town upon u
tract of land suitable for such purpose
of not less than five acres.
''There is also hereby created and es-
The Branch P~enitentiary of the Terri
tory of New Mexico Said penitentiary
is hereby located at or near the city of
Deming, in the county of Grant, upon "a
tract of land suitable for such purposes
of not less than ten acres"
The bill provides that the lands upon
which the institutions are to be located
shall be donated to the territory without
any cost whatever to the taxpayers of
| New Mexico, and the title must be per-
feet, within two years after the passage
of the act. No buildings or improve
ments are to be placed on the different
tracts until after the deeds have been
executed, approved by the solicitor gem
eral of the territory, recorded in the
counties in which the lands are situated,
and have been placed on file in the Of
flee of the territorial treasurer. After
such properties have been properly con-
veyed, the four institutions shall have
for their maintenance, erection of build
ings, the car and equipment thereof,
the full and entire proceeds from the
lease and sale of the 200, 900 acres of
land 10000 acres for each) donated to
the territory of New Mexico by IN act
of congress approved June 21, 1898.
The government and management of the
institutions shall be vested in such
bodies or boards as is hereafter provided
by law, except that the governor shall,
within two years after the date of the
passage of the act, appoint a superin-
tendent for each of the institutions aside
from the branch penitentiary.

Responsibility for Last Manila Battle.

The battles which have taken place
at Manila, between the Philippine in
surgents and the American forces, all
resulted in brilliant victories for the lat
ter, and have added to the fame and
glory of American arms, and also i'm
pressed the natives of the islands with
the power of the United States, but
they were entirely unnecessary, and
the responsibility for the losses in deaths
and wounded in both of the contending
forces rests upon the men in the United
States senate who endeavored to pre-
vent the ratification of the treaty of
peace with Spain.
The trend of events in the Philippines
can be traced from the time Admiral
Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in the
Manila bay to the battle which was
fought Saturday night. After the cap
itulation of the city of Manila and the
abdication of the Spanish authority, the
natives of the islands, lead by Aguinaldo.
were grateful for the aid which had
been rendered them by the Americans,
and had absolute authority been as
sumed by the United States at that time
there would have been no further trou-
bic. When the treaty which had been
formulated at Paris between this coun-
try and Spain was sent to the senate,
and certain senators began to talk
about the dangers which threatened the
ippineS; declared that the constitution
made no provision for the annexation of
territory not contiguous to that already
possessed, and generally gave out the
impression that the American people
were sadly divided upon the question,
Aguinaldo began to assume Importance
in his WI eyes and to mislead the Fill
pinos.
When there were indications of delay,
~Aguinaldo, who is nobody's Ounce by
any means, sent representatives to this
country to work for absolute independ-
ence of the islands and people. Agon-
clio, who was at the head of the dele
CATION, acted as a spy upon the action
of the senate and kept his chief fully
Uniformed as to the progress of the
treaty; incidentally he gave the i'm
preston to the Filipino leader that an
attack upon the American forces at
Manila would result in an utter rout
for the Invaders" and cause an eva
c%uation of all points held. The longer
the ratification of the treaty was de-
layed the stronger became Agoncillo's
opinion, and the immediate result was
the battles at Manila which caused the
death of hundreds and the suffering of
thousands from wounds.
There can be but one outcome to the
matter. The Filipinos attacked the
United States troops without provoca-
ton, and there will now be no change in
matters until AgulnaldO IS thoroughly
thrashed and subdued. The islands may
never become a part of the United
States territory, but no nation or govern
ment can fire on the stars and stripes
without the insult being resented and
punishment inflicted, if it takes every
available man and every dollar in the
land.
Those senators who were undoubted-
ly the cause of the recent trouble in the
Philippines must, by this time, realize
that they have made a grave mistake,
but, it will not relieve them of the res
possibility they have incurred through
their opposition to the government.
