LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP,
LAS VEGAS NORMAL sCHoo1,

LAS VEGAS NORMAL SCHOOL.
When the Las Vegas Normal school
bill came up for the consideration of
the council 1t was ascertained that the
amendments which were suggested by
the committee, embodied a change in
the name to read: The New Mexi y
Normal University The establish
ment of a school Of manual training and
kindergarten in connection with the H.,
stitution was recommended and it wal
provided that the school shall be for
ever no~nsectarian. The r%efunding of
s1s.335 to Las Vegas people was carried,
but was fought by Hon. T. B. Catron.
The payment of the sum by a tax levy
running until 1901, was a point which
was also attacked by Mr.. Catron. lie
desired the time extended to five years
instead of three, thus reducing the bur
den to be carried by the territorial tax
payers below Sc, 800 per year. He stated
that property was constantly increas.
ing in value in the territory, and that
by extending the time, the people would
not feel the tax so heavily. The speech
made by Mr.. Catron in opp ,sitlon to
the bill was a most masterful effort.
He stated that the people of Las Vegas
had not been true to their first promise,
and that they had been constan'lv delv-
ing into the territorial treasury since
they had been granted their first ap-
preparation. He showed that it was not
lawful for the board Of regents Of any
institution Of learning to exceed in ex.
penditure the amount app ,oDriated to
them and that, If they did SO, they
should not expect the legislature TO re-
imburse them. Further, that the legis-
should not advertise to the world
that 1t was bringing the credit of the
territory into disrepute by the law. He
thought that a precedent vas being es-

tablished that would invite all boards
of regents to build Unfortunately and
expect the territory to pay for it. He
showed that the pupils of the Las We
gas Normal school spent $20.tpo annu-
ally in that city and that the banks and
business men of the town received the
benefit of it, and that they should stand
the amounts which they contributed for
building d brown stone building where
one of less pretensions was ordered. He
said hat Santa Fe would be glad to
pay the cost of the whole building IL
such an institution were granted to the
city. He thought that the heavy bur-
den of taxes which was being imposed
on the territory would prove a BOOM
erang and keep homeseekers from
building residences and manufacturers
from investing where they must do so
at such a disadvantage in taxation.

ture of the bill endorsing him, but that
he could not swallow the expansion

pressed over the low price Of cotton and

cotton at present prices We will say
this much for their comfort II this is

NEW SCHEMES.

The speech which eX-Judge 5. Z. Nc
Council. OF Chicago made m that city
before the Monticello club last Saturday
has great deal Of significance. Its sig
nihcance yurns upon the personality of
the speaker and upon the matter Of the
speech also Judge Mcconnell was
delegate at large from the state Of nl-
nols. and he is the righthanl man OF
Altseld. He took tho most emphatic
ground against The Democratic party re-
naming tied TO tho dogma OF free coin
age for silver at the ratio OF Is TO ].
though he insisted upon bimetallism.
Judge Mcconnell SIS himself a. very
leading member OF his party. and. con-
sidcring his close relations with Altgeld.
this speech indicates very plainly ma,
free silver is not going 20 have the easy
road TO travel 81 the next National Dem
ocratlc Convention that 10 had in the
last one. This IS pretty nearly formal
notice from the Altseid wing of the chi
cago party that it will not stand free

and established ratio Abandon that. and
bimetallism had just as well be OF iron
as OF silver ana gold. The magic of
tho case all disappears when the ratio
Is abandoned ana there never was any
thing in the case but magic.
Butthe Altgclders could not. of course,
give Up free coinage without Offering a
substitute. and Judge Mcconnell brought
ono forward. He said the next Demo-
cratic platform must turn upon the fol-
loving proposition to Wit:

GOOD NEWS FROM THE SOUTH
WEST

The letter which we printed i'm our sun
dav issue from an intelligent correspond
ent at Roanoke. shows that The Times
has not been too sanguine in its estimate
Of the mineral wealth and the prospective
boom I'm mineral properties of the south
west. We have no peculiar interest IN
such a boom but as a Virginia news
paper. wo take a deep interest IN the
welfare of every section Of the state
and moreover. we believe that every
other section will share I'm the prosperity
which we believe will soon be so aDund-
ant in the mineral section of the state.
II did not require any gift of prophecy
hut only an ordinary foresight to see,
when there was such activity in the iron
trade. that the splendid properties in the
southwest Virginia would soon come into
market. Therefore when. in the begin
ming Of the late congressional campaign
I'm the Ninth district some OF the news
papers thought 10 promote the candidacy
Of Judge Rhea by the usual calamity cry
we entered a vigorous protest and urged
upon the people of that community that
that sort Of campaigning would not do
that the southwest needed TO talk pros
perisy and to advertise rs great resources
and not 20 talk poverty and 20 advertise
10 the world that there were I'm that Sec
ton no inducements 90 capitalists who
had money TO invest We were more
than gratined at the quick response TO
this suggestion from The Times, and we
say it not boastlngly BUT it is fact that
We soon headed OF and squelched the
calamity boom.
That was less than six months ago,
and now our correspondent tells us that
a number Of furnaces are .n mu blast,
and the fires in others win soon Doe light
cd. that there is inquiry here there and
everywhere for mineral properties and
that the boom has fairly begun. Ia
publishing this newspaper il has been our
aim TO promote public morals clean
politics and the material welfare 90 Viz
ginia. We have honestly endcavored to
do this without regard TO personal inter
est or section. and If we have helped 10
bring about the desirable conditions
which our correspondent declares 10 ex-
list. we are indeed gratiaed az our work.
