WHY DEMOCRATS ARE ANXIOUS.
From the Daily Republican.


The Democrats are very anxious that
the Republicans of Delaware should not
settle their differences aud thus allow
them to carry the State as they have
during the past six Years. The Demo-
cratic papers as we'll as the mongrel
sheets are urging the Republicans to
commit political suicide Even l.. Irving
Handy is very solcitious as to what
the Republicans intend TO do and if
there is any chance of them uniting
The men who are determined to bury
the party ten thousand fathoms deep if
they could not have their way. should

only n very small part of the Rcpuhli-
can party The Republican voters in
this State do not mean to allow the
State to go Democratic this yeac. There
is entirely too much ut stake to keep
up the senseleSS fight that has wrecked
the Republican party in the past. There
should not be two primaries held for
county offices in this county. or in Kent
or Sussex. Two tickets means defeat.
There can and should he an agreement
reached where one set of Republican
candidates can be agreed upon and then
triumphantly elected, from Governor
down.

THE TREATY SIGNED.

for the Nicaragua Canal.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Secretary Hay
this morning, for the government of the
United States, and Senior Correa, the
Nicaraguan minister, for his govern
ment, signed the treaty whereby the
latter government comedies to the Uni
ted States the necessary rights and
privileges within her bestowal for the
construction Of the Nicaraguan canal.
This action is taken in anticipation
of congressional action upon the pend
ing Nicaraguan canal bill, and the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. 1t Is understood
that Nicaragua grants the United
States government the exclusive right
to construct and operate canal be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific across
Nicaragua, including free use of the
San Juan river and Lake Managua as
part of the water course. Nicaragua is
also to rid herself of any outstanding
treaties that would tend in any way to
abridge the privileges to be acquired
by the United States. 1t Is understood
also that Nicaragua comedies the Unit
ed States full authority to police the
canal. Nicaragua Is to receive in COM
pensation certain amount of securi-
ties of the canal construction company

SANTA PE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Marvellous Progress That Has Been Made
the Past Few Years.

; 1t may be of interest to the people of
Santa Fe to recount some of the items
of progress and advantages of the city
public schools. Santa Fe can boast of
having the first and best kindergarten
school in the territory, sustained by
public money. This school is we'll pat
ronized and highly appreciated by all
its patrons.
Another point of superiority Is that
Spanish is taught to a certain extent in
all the wards, and q specialist, highly
educated lady from Spain, teaches
classes in the grammar and high
school.
Two literary societies helefr-weekly
meetings and are doing most efficiens
work as was evidenced by the highly
creditable literary entertainment given
in the high school last Wednesday
evening to a crowded house. And al
though the admission fee was only ten
cents, sufficient sum was realized
above expenses to purchase a fine high
school clock and leave $7.75 in the hands
of the committee for other purposes.
Last year the schools gave entertain
ments and cleared enough money to
buy two nice organs in the first and
third wards, and to buy a set of the
Encyclopedias Britannica of thirty
volumes --latest edition) for the high
school, and to place Webster's diction-
ary in the first, second and fourth
| wards.
| All the common branches are taught
in the primary and grammar gra
Some of the classes now being taught
lin the high school are: Spanish, Latin
three classes, viz: first year, Caesar and
| Cicero. Two classes in algebra, one in
physical geography, higher English
English analysis, physics, geometry and
astronomy. After the middle of the
year other classes in the higher branch
es will be organized, such as book.
keeping, botany, Virgil, psychology, tri'
gonometry, surveying and some others
1t is gratifying to note also the
growth in attendance. For November
1898, the enrolment was 542. For Nov
ember 1899, the enrolment was GIG
For November, 1900, the enrolment was
$50.
In 1898, Santa Fe had nine teachers
now the schools have fourteen teac""rs
and very much need another.
The Daily Optic of Las Vegas of DAFT
November II, 1900, says: "The total en-
rollment of our public schools Of Eas
Las Vegas is 651. In the eight grades
$50 are enrolled, In the high school 65
making the total as given above" Blu
Is should be understood that the 65 ar
Pupils Of the Normal University
Thus it may be seen that while Santi
\ Fe has made no ado about her growtl
in population, she has reason to b
proud of the growth Of her publ
schools.
