The news that the Las Cruces public
schools opened with a rather small
attendance, is not good news. Nova
days the rush is toward the school house,
and in a college town like Las Cruces it
should be doubly so. Upon the educa-
ton of the children, especially in New
Mexico, depends the future of the terri
tory and its communities. But, undoubt-
eddy better reports will come from Las
Cruces in a week or two, for in many
places the attendance at the public
school during the first week after vaca.
ton gives no indication of the attendance
later in the term.

Colonel Bryan the other day gave
Democracy a pretty hard whack. He
said: ~ want to tell you that you can
no more afford to steal when stealing is
respectable than you can when it is dis
honorable; that you can no more afford
to steal through legislation than you
can in spite of legislation" Yet Colonel
Bryan is at the head of the movement
to cut the value of the dollar in half so
that debtors would need to pay only
half of what they really owe. Did he
think OF the thefts by Tammany and
the %disgraceful bargain he made with
Boss Croker when he spoke as above?
Hardly. but there will be thousands of
voters who will remember those things
when election day comes around.

The ants of Colorado have nominated
a fusion ticket that to the outsider looks
like bungling patchwork, but when it is
considered that the remnants of the
Silver Republican party, the Populists
and the Democratic party in Colol ado
are all Rryanites, though posing under
different names, the ticket is a logical
me-. The respectable element of the
Silver Republicans has rejoined the Re-
publican party and the Populist party
has di~sintegrated so that four years
hence it will have entirely disappeared
from politics.

The fact that East Las Vegas in
creased it's taxable valuation 1854, 900
last year is a sign that the Meadow city
is growing in wealth. Although it has
only half the population that Santa Fe
possesses, yet its taxable property valua-
ton is twice that of the capital. If
other parts of the territory were doing
as well, the assessed valuation of the
territory would show a decided increase
such as Colorado is showing this year
by its increase of almost $12, 900, 900 in
it's total valuation.

The strike of 142, 900 coal miners with
almost o million people depending upon
them will be as great a disaster as the
Texas flood. Those responsible for it
should be discovered and held up to
public execration as enemies of their
country. A strike of that kind kept up
for any length of time will make its
effect felt throughout the whole nation,
and the ruin and misery that will follow
in its wake will be terrible. If it is u
as there Is reason to suspect, that Demo-
cratic politicians are at the bottom of
the strike, the candidates of that party do
not deserve the vote of a single decent
citizen.

A Colorado mine was sold to an Anglo
American syndicate this week for &c.
100000. Yet, only a few years ago the
claim was not worth a hundred dollars.
In no other line can wealth be accumu-
lated so rapidly in an honest way as in
mining, and it is quite certain that there
are enough undiscovered ore deposits in
New Mexico to make a dozen million
aires, and hundreds of undeveloped
claims that will make their future own
ers rich. 1t is these high stakes which
may be won at mining that makes it such
an attractive proposition to ambitious
and energetic men.

Colonel Bryan has pledged the state
and city patronage of New York to Boss
Croker in return for a promise of the
electoral vote of the Empire state.
Croker is to name a cabinet officer in
case Col. Bryan is elected. and will dis
pense the federal patronage in the state.
That this corrupt bargain will never be
carried out is certain, for President Nc
kinley will be reelected, but it serves
to show that all the Democratic cant
about political corruption and Senator
Hanna's methods are the most brazen
hypocrisy.

FIRE AT NORFOLK NAVY YARD
The Construction Building with Draw
ings and Other valuables Burned.

Norfolk, Va, December 16.-The
building occupied by the construction
department at the Norfolk navy yard
was completely destroyed by fire this
evening. Shortly before 6 o'clock a
Waterman discovered h office of Con-
structor Stahl to be on fire, and prompt
ly turned in an alarm. The navy yard
and Portsmouth fire departments re-
sponded promptly, but found the blaze
gaining Roadway rapidly, and in a short
time the whole building was a mass Of
flames. The f1remen then devoted their
time to saving surrounding buildings.
The building destroyed contained all
the important papers, models, and plans
Of the construction department. Over
1000 drawings and 500. 900 worth of live
oak timber were destroyed. Loss to
building and contents owe. 5000. 900.
The workshop destroyed was one OF
h finest in the United States. The
fire is supposed to have been caused by
an exposed electric wire. The yard
will not be seriously crippled In onse-
Quence Of the con~fiagration, as there
are many commodious structures near
ing completion which can be utilized.

THE STARS and STRIPES
AND THE CONSTITUTION.
Cases Involving the True Status of Porto Rico and
the Philippines Argued in the Federal
Supreme Court.

Washington, December lin the
gument was begun in two cases, the
decision Of which is expected to fix the
status Of Porto Rico and the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
acquired through the war with Spain
with respect to the United States-to
say whether their people are citizens,
and to indicate whether the constitu-
ton follows the flag.
One Of the cases is that of John II.
Goetze who in June, 1899 imported from
Porto Rico L quantity of leaf tobacco
into the United States through the port
OF New York and protested against the
assessment Of duty on the importation,
claiming that the tobacco was not sub
ject to duty because Porto Rico at the
time of the importation was not a for
eign country, and because therefore,
the imposition of duties on goods
brought from a place within the terri
Aary of h United States into a port of
the United State is not lawful and
valid under the constitution"
The collector of the port and the
board of general appraisers both ruled
against him, as did the United States
circuit court for the Southern district
of New York.
The other case is known as the four
teen diamond ring case. The claimant,
Manuel Repke. a United States soldier
