much to the credit of the district, as
these figures include every county in
the district.
Judge McFie has never left the terri
tory except once during the year. He Is
to be continually found in his chambers
hearing cases, and much to his credit, it
can be said that during his present in
cumbency as judge of this district, only
two cases have gone up from his dis
trict to the supreme court, and both of
those have been decided according to
the decision given in the lower court.

sure a building which would be q per-
manent credit to the territory, and the
last legislature was asked to authorize
an additional issue of $50, 900 in 4 per
cent bonds for the completion and fur
nishing of the building. This act was
early in it's session. Congress at once
ratified the action Of the legislature,
and these 4 per cent bonds were used
in bringing this building to the state
of perfection in which it now stands be-
fore you.
Too much credit cannot be given, Mr..
President, to the earnest and untiring
efforts of your board, it's secretary and
clerk, in conjunction with the SUPER
vising architect, for providing the terri
tory with such a building as we now
have, at an expense in bonds OF only
$135, 900. Solidity, convenience and safe
ty have been the three cardinal princi-
pies upon which this building was con-
attained by the architect, under the d.
rection of the rebuilding board, and
accept the building and its keys from
you with pride in your work ami the
congratulations Of the people on its
contamination.
1t is meet and proper that we should
assemble here to-day for the purpose
OF suitably dedicating to the public
service this grand structure, designed
not only for the use of the territory, Its
legislature and officials, but also to
stand as a permanent evidence Of the
progressive spirit of our people, ard the
modern ideas which prevail among
them.
The taxes necessary to be levied for
its construction and the one which was
destroyed have been promptly and
cheerfully met by our people. The ter
ritorial treasurer has last month pur-
chased and retired $40, 900 of the original
capitol building bonds. The two issues
of capitol building bonds make the to-
tai amount issued for capitol building
purposes 1886, 900, the appropriation for
the present capitol building having
been $135, 900. And I venture to say
that nowhere else in the United States
the duplicate of this present build
ing be erected for hat amount. We see
before US a capitol building. complete
ly finished and furnished, admirably
adapted for its purpose at present, and
for many years to come, which, under
any ordinary methods of construction,
would have cost at least $500, 900. In my
report to the honorable secretary Of the
interior I shall refer with pride to this
building, it's n of construction,
and the gentlemen under whose care
and direction it has been erected.
While this is a new and modern build
ing, supplied with all the latest conven
fences and accessories, it is situated in
the second oldest capital city in the
new world.
The original capitol building Of this
province, OF New Spain, Is on the other
side of the river, where 1t was erected
by the Spanish viceroy in 1898. 1t has
been occupied from that time down to
the present by the chief executives Of

lage which nestled by the river among
these sunlit hills, causing mingled ad-
miration and amazementI in the hearts
Of those simple and generous people.
He then proceeded to give a panora-
ma-like sketch Of the most interesting
events which have occurred at Santa
Fe from its foundation down to the de-
parture of the troops for Cuba, for
which we have not space here, and then
continued:
These are but a few scattered ex-
amples Of the great events which crowd
the history of this ancient city. No
state, no nation even, has a capital
around which clusters so much Of va
ried interest or Of which it has such
just reason to be proud.
"A capital holds a peculiar relation
to the people of its State. 1t belongs not
to its own inhabitants alone, but to
them all; It's honor Is their honor, its
glory Is their glory, the interest which
1t inspires belongs to them all alike.
Other cities may outstrip 1t in popula-
ton or business or material prosperity,
but while we rejoice at their success 1t
is theirs, not ours; while everything
which improves or beauties the capital
Is Of equal interest to all. Thus every
American r~ejoices in the rapid strides
which Washington has made In all that
goes to make a beautiful and charm
ing city; its parks, its perfect streets,
its public buildings and its wealth Of
monuments. Every new structure like
the Corcoran gallery or congressional
library, which adds to its dignity and
renown, ia hailed with delight and with
pride all over our land, because the ma
tional capital is, in a sense, the proper
ty Of every American citizen.
And so here. every New Mexican has
a part in the fame of its ancient capi-
tai, and in the historic interest which
1t excites throughout the world. It
should be their pride to see that inter-
est enhanced in every way. An elo-
quent leader of territorial thought has
recently expressed this idea In forcible
terms, and has advocated the beautify-
ing Of the capital city by every avail
able means as a matter Of territorial
pride. No other state or territory has
an equal opportunity in this respect.
Santa Fe is unique in its historic inter-
est. The palace Is the most interesting
building historically in America. The
whole territory IL full of relics Of an
tiquity of ~unequaled value, which are
being carried away to enrich the coilec-
tons Of the east and Of Europe but

This is an exceptional record, and Is

The high lights of Chicago University
should not advocate reform in spelling
until the universities of the country, itself
included, give the present generation of
students an opportunity to master the
present system. The modern educational
methods are great Improvement over the
old in many respects, but in the matter
of photography the days of the old school
house would be welcome. Then the matter
of spelling was, perhaps. given too much
stress, but in these latter days the opposite
extreme prevails. If the universities would
make correct spelling at least one of the
requisites to an English education and
would persuade the students as we'll as the
instructors to master the ordinary vocabu-
larry of refined society sufficiently well to
write a manuscript of a thousand words
without misspelling more than ten it is
possible the present English spelling would
become downright fascinating and the de-
mand for spelling reform" would cease.
The movement suggests too wildly the
changing of criminal laws to suit the GRIM
inal element.

Senator Aldrich. i'm his address in the
Senate yesterday on the currency bill, said
that there was nothing in the declaration
for the gold standard that would interfere
with an international agreement to estaB-
lish bimetallism. Thatoi IL true:5 the inter-
ference with such a scheme, as four at
tempts to bring about international bimet-
allism have demonstrated, is that no ma
ton in Europe will have anything to do
with it, Twenty years ago the PROPOSE
ton was received with some favor, but the
last effort TO induce Great Britain, Ger
many and other nations to join in an eff
fort to raise silver to full money power
resulted in all of them turning a deaf ear
to our representatives. The situation has
so changed in twenty years that there is
no longer need of double standard. The
addition of s25O, 100000 worth of gold bull
lion to the worlds money stock renders BIZ
metallism unnecessary.
