KILLING AT

From the Roswell Register.
T. F. Driscoll, a conductor on the
pecos Valley lines was shot and killed
at Amarillo last Saturday night Dy q
constable named Hart. The cause is
said to have been about as follows'
Several gamblers had about succeeded
in inducing two locomotive engineers
to engage in a game and Driscoil @
the two engineers they had better stay
ont of it. One of the gamblers foi-
lowed Driscoll to the depot n had a
quarrel with him owe the matter.
Driscoll then went into a billiard a
close to the depot. Hart followed him
and reprimanded him for quarreling
| with the gambler. An alteration en-
! sued and the constable told Driscoil
| he would have to arrest him. Both
| men drew their pistols, but Driscoil
| got the drop on Hart. The latter
| dropped his pistol by his side and
| told Driscoll that he would put up
| his pistol. At this juncture, Frank NC
| Daniels. the p. v. & N. E. brakeman
| stepped in between them, when Har'
reached past McDaniels and shot Dris
coll in the forehead, killing him. The
owner of the billiard hall left town tha1
night with his family and the mex
morning tagged the P. v. & N. r
train at Homer, eight miles this sid
of Amarillo, and got on, evidently
headed for New Mexico, but at Here
ford. Sheriff J. T. Immon of that place
arrested him and took him of thu
train. Driscoll had been employed OF
the Denver road for years, but for tn
past two years had been on the T. Y
& N. E. He left a wife and two Chi
dren.

AN UNJUST POLICY.

The policy Of the republican party
Of late years, seems to be to build
itself by drawing recruits from the
democrats and to that end to give
these new applicants at the pie coun-
ter the best places.
Old. well tried republicans who have
stood by their party, who have
fought its battles, who have contribut-
ed literally of their time and money,
in time of extreme party emergency.
and but for whom the republican party
would have gone down in defeat, are
given the "cold shoulder" or showed
aside to continue their effort while
some reconstructed democrat is called
up to the plumb tree to be given the
delicious fruit, which in justice is due
to . consistent republican.
Look about over New Mexico. Old
democrats are holding in very many
instances the most lucrative places in
ONCE. the most prominent places on
oficial boards. In most cases the men
90 favored cease to be democrats, but
become jealous partisans for the party
which gives them good fat places.
No republican in this Territory has
. more influential or remunerative
place than the former chairman of the
democratic Territorial committee.
SO 1t IL in many other of the best
paying ofices In New Mexico, so also
It IL on the various institutional
boards.
There are but one or two instances
where . real genuine democrat. who
continues to adhere to his party hal
been called to any of these places.

FAST
The PoIIak-virag System Is Capable
of Wonderful Speed.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The delight with which the emper-
or Of Germany watched a test OF the
Pollak-virag system of telegraphy h
other day will be understood by Q
who are familiar with that invention.
In point of speed it appears to be
much superior to all other equally well
known plans for machine transmission.
When it was tried between Chicago
and New York in December, 1899, dur
ing a visit Of the inventor to Ameri-
ca, long messages were sent with
ease, under favorable conditions, at
the rate of 70 $1,000 or $4,000 words an
hour. A still better showing has been
expected, and may some time be real
lied. In the recent demonstration in
Germany a speed of only $4,000 was
attained. Yet think what that means!
A presidents message or other public
document, 10000 words long, could be
tent over a single press wire inside OF
fifteen minutes!
So far as their transmitting mecnan-
| ism is concerned, Herren POllak and
| virag show little originality. They use
a strip of paper previously punched
| with holes representing dots and dash
| es, just as several other inventors do
| The most novel feature of their sys;
| tenn is the method of receiving. The in
| coming electric impulses cause q thin
strip OF metal, resembling . telephone
diaphragm, to vibrate and thus move
a tiny mirror attached thereto. A slen
der beam of light from an incandes
cent light falls upon the mirror, and
is reflected thence to a strip OF pho
steadily unrolled by clockwork wher

opment" being applied, the paper ex
hibits a continuous dark line with up

In view Of the obvious merits of thu
system one may wonder why it ha'
not been adopted by governments O
corporations which carry telegraph
service. A moments consideration
though, reveals q serious drawback t
it. After the comparatively trifling dc
lay in making the record visible, tn,
messages must be written out by han
or machine. That strip of paper canno
be sent to newspapers or conmercia
patrons. 1t must be deciphered an
the translation must be conveyed t

now required by the older system. ]

THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. 2s. 1903
GOOD THING.

The house yesterday at Santa re
did n good thing at least.
Cristobal Sanchez had introduced II.
b. No. z, to abolish the Office OF coun-
~ school superintendent and to have
his duties performed by the probate
Judges.
This measure indicates the
breadth of Mr.. Sanchez intellect. IL
was intended to legislate Rafael Ro-
nero. county school superintendent OF
Mora courtyard q graduate OF Prince
ton. and the best one the county
ever had, out of office.
Sometime ago Sanchez tried to
have the governor remove Mr.. Ro-
nero. really because he vas a demo-
crat. but the pretext was some trump
ed up. untruthful charge.
The governor very properly declined
to remove.
At the last election the people OF
Mora county endorsed Mr.. Romero by
~re-electing him.
In his extreme partisan zeal a
chez introduced a to abolish
the ONCE, thereby tc get rid OF the
Mora superintendent. The committee
sat down on this piece OF partisan
work. voted the Sanchez bill no good
and killed 1t.
Now some of the republican mem
hers of the house are thinking of in
PRODUCING a bill to abolish Cristobal
Sanchez for his narrow-minded bigot
ry and i'll advised party zeal.
The ONCE Of county superintendent
is n OF the most important. The idea
OF the probate Judge performing the
duties Of that office is absurd.
The legislature instead Of abolishint
this office should provide by law TO
higher qualifications. The law SHOULD
provide that no man could be eligible
to receive votes for the Office unless
he held a certificate which would au
thorize him to teach school.
This would insure at least som
qualification. The man who is TIN
very heart of the common school sys
tenn should be one deeply interested il
educational affairs.
He should be q school man. Wha
does a superintendent who has neve
in any way been connected with tn
educational affairs of his county, o
with the common schools, know abou
the duties of superintendent?
This is a republican legislature.
Is not likely to listen to any suggestiO
however good. coming from a DEM
cratic source; nevertheless, 1t woul
perform a great service to the publ
II it should pass a law requiring coul
ty school superintendent to posses
certain prescribed qualifications an
among them should be the ability I
read and write well the English lal
guage. Such a bill would be cred
BILE to the assembly and would resu
In good to New Mexico.
There should be nothing political
partisan in our schools. All the peopl
are interested alike and when publ
sentiment reaches the point where tn
electors will refuse to vote for a scho'
superintendent unless he possesst
the requisite scholarship and expe
fence in educational affairs. we wi
have better service in that Office an
q decided improvement in school ma,
agement.
