New Mexico Insane Asylum.

The report of the directors of the
New Mexico Insane Asylum, located at
Las Vegas, for the years beginning No
1, 1896, and ending November /,
1898, has been made to Governor Otero.
The board is composed of the follow
ing named officials: Governor M. A.
Otero, ex-officio; J.. w. collars, presi-
dent; Frank S. Crosson, vice presi-
dent; Marcus Brunswick, secretary and
treasurer: Benigno Romero and F. H.
Pierce, with w. R. Upton, M. D., medi-
cal superintendent; George w. Ward,
steward, and Mrs. Camelia Olinger,
matron.
The expenditures of the institution
amounted to $67, S22 for the two years,
leaving an Indebtedness of $4,301. Out
of the amount expended an addition to
SS4. "a, and repairs We're made on other
buildings amounting to nearly $500.
The average cost for the maintenance
of each patient in the asylum, per year,
is $215.4S. This includes the best OF
medical attendance, food, lodging,
clothing and all other n~ecessaries
which have been required. The man.
agement is a firm believer in the cura-
tive properties of an outdoor life for the
patients, Joined with some healthful oc-
cupation, and the less violent patients
are kept at work in the gardens and
about the buildings. By this method
of treatment the inmates of the insti-
tuition have been benefited physically
and mentally. and the territory saved,
The number of patients in the asylum
on November 1, 1898. was So; forty
males and 80 females. During the two
years II persons died; seven recovered
and were discharged; five improved
and were discharged; two remained
stationary in their condition and We're
returned to their homes, and two
escaped.
The board of control is of the opinion
that the administration building is ir
need of repairs, and an estimate is sub
mitted, showing the cost of the repairs
will be 1885. In addition to this the
board recommends that the institution
be granted an annual levy of at least
IL mills for the next two fiscal years
A levy of that amount would yield
about 1926. 900 per annum. and out of that
amount it is thought that additional LAND
for farming and gardening purposes
could be bought, and such buildings as
would be necessary could be erected.
The report is very comprehensive
containing statistical tables and vari-
Gus matters concerning the insane

Expansion Policy Supported by Business Men

The National Association Of Manu-
%facturers now in council at Cincinnati,
have unanimously passed a resolution,
supporting the expansion policy of the
national administration, and in doing
so has voiced the sentiment of the
manufacturing industries throughout
the country. The business men of the
United States recognized very quick
ly at the close of the war with Spain,
that the acquisition of the Philippines
by the United States meant a desirable
base of operations in the Orient for the
Introduction of American made goods
into Asiatic ports; and it may be re-
marked here with emphasis, that Euro
pean nations DESTROYS of introducing
goods of their own manufacture into
Asiatic countries, have viewed the CON-
ing possibilities of Yankee competition
with well grounded apprehension. Com
mercial men and business men generally
who visit this city, do not hesitate to
ascribe the sudden growth of CONNER
cial activity in the United States to the
increase of territory, and the %concensus
of opinion is borne out in the Cincinnati
resolutions. The men who are meeting
in the east and protesting against the
annexation Of outside territory, are
acting on suppositions purely imagin-
airy, and having no other solid basis
than a poetic and effusive sentiment.
The assumptions of Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts, for instance, in his re-
cent speech, are m%oorshine statesman
ship which the senator himself would
not have been guilty of were he
younger and of a more discerning mind.
The untenableness of his position was
quickly shown by his able and clearer
colleague, Senator Lodge. The admin
~istration is quick to grasp the differ
ence between the old lady element that
is fighting with windy wheareases and
resolves the policy Of expansion, and
the common sense, practical element
that is encouraging the president in his
statesmanlike position.

The New Line to Amarillo Will Be Closed
Up on the 28th Inst, and Be Ready for
Travel Februarv 8,

The Pecos Valley railroad extension is
making commendable progress towards

of two weeks before through trains can
be run between Eddy and Roswell and
Kansas City and Chicago. General Man
ager Nicholson in a recent interview, said
thaton Wednesday OF last week the track
LAYERS coming south were only 40 miles
from Roswell. This with II miles built
north from Roswell, left at that time
only % miles to lay, and the steel is
going down at the rate of two miles per
day. The grading is all done, and by
the 2sth inst, the rail ends will have
teen connected up.
The sleeping cars now running be-
tween Pecos City and Roswell, will run
between Roswell and Amarillo. One
feature of the new line will be the Colo
RADIO travel. Passengers a leave Ros-
well at 300 p. M, reach Amarillo at 900
D. M, and Denver at 500 p. M, the
next day, in SO hours less time than by
going around via Fort Worth. Presi-
dent j. j. Hagerman of the Pecos Valley
road. his wife, and Mr. Hagerman's asso-
ciate, C. A. Otis, will be present at the
rail connection, and Mrs. Hagerman will
be asked to drive the last spike closing
up the gap and completing the road.
Messrs. Hagerman and Otis came down
to the south end of the track the other
day, and as they made $50 miles over the
new track at the rate of so miles an
hour, the road bed must be In very good
shape for a new road.

The imports for 1898 We're the smallest
in any of the six previous years, being
$6S3, 664, 634, as against SAP, 595, 229 for
1897, and 1901, 669, 347 for 1896. This is a
nut for the free trade professors in the
large Eastern institutions of learning
to crack, and explain away as of no
consequence, and as cutting no figure
in the financial welfare of the nation,
The best thing hat can be done with
the Democracy and the free traders is
to forever keep them out of power, and
pay no attention to their empty utter
ances. All the same, it is a shame that
American youth who go to college,
should be forced to learn pernlcious
political doctrines, only to be forced to
unlearn them after going out into the
world where the hard knocks of expert
ence teach them the futility of their I'M

D. A. Ortega participated in favor Of
the railroads, the speaker shut off de-

clared that the railroads had the right

bull and mule teams and other primitive
means of transportation and should
be upheld by every progressive mar

The p~enitentiary bill, which has been
introduced in the council by Hon. T.
B. Catron, providing that the board OF
p~enitentiary commissioners shall con-
sist of only three members, to be APP
pointed by the governor, and that the
superintendent and assistant superin-
tendent shall also be appointed by the
governor, is timely and well advised.
The reduction in the number of the
commissioners will effect a saving in
the cost to the territory, without reduc-
ing the efficiency of the board, and plac-
ing the appointive power, regarding the
superintendent and assistant superin-
tendent, in the hands of the executive
of the territory will emove all posi-
bility of the abuse of those offices.
There is one change which can be made
in the bill, however, which will better
it, and that is to allow the three mem
bers of the board of commissioners a
small salary to compensate them for
the loss of time from their private bust
ness. THE laborer is worthy of his

Practical Instruction Needed.

The recent trend of commercial events
is knocking out the ground from under
the feet of the free traders, and must be
a source of deep grief to Professor Sum-
ner, of Yale university, and the other
free trade apostles who are occupying
chairs of political economy in sister
institutions. The logic they are using
to prop up their unstable position is
forced and unnatural, and as the bal
ance of trade continues to turn mOr
heavily in the direction of this country,

time. t~hreadbare and worn out doctrines

several decades been pumping free trade
doctrines into the students forced to
attend his lectures, and as steadily have
they been deserving his banner after
graduating from college. 1t would seem
that the faculty after witnessing the
professors futile efforts for so many
years to permanently implant erroneous
political doctrines in the minds Of
generations Of students, would sense
the situation and make a change: and
perhaps this much to be desired move

in the land, ought to be relegated to the
background of deserved obscurity, and

Cornell University will not meet Yale
and Harvard in aquatics the coming
summer. The New England collegemen
agreed in "a recent conference at Bos-
ton, that it was for the best interests OF
the two institutions that the boat race
next summer as far as they were con-
ccrned, should be held over the Thames
course at New London. Cornell, which
has won for the last two years from
Harvard and Yale, was invited to par
| ticipate. as the course is wide enough
| for three boats. but the location is too
| far from home for the lthacanS, and
| the latter decline to enter the race.
This probably ends the races between
Yale and Harvard with other institutions
for some years to come, and the two
New England universities will return
| to their old style of dual contests on the
] Thames, leaving the colleges interested
in the intercollegiate regatta scheme
to contest among themselves at Pough-
keepsie or Saratoga.
