GOLDEN WORDS.

In a circular recently issued, Super
intendent of Public instruction Colo
mel j. Francisco Chayes says:
Every teacher must understand En-
glish thoroughly. rs the instruction
must be in that language. There Is
no intention to disparage the beauui-
full language of the first European set
tiers In New Mexico. but English is
the language Of the country, of both
pubic and private business, and a
thorough acquaintance with IL Is es
sential To practical success in life by
the generation now receiving its edu-
cation. The law requires this and the
welfare OF our children demands it,
Golden words. these; words that
might well be engraved upon every
school house and proclaimed by every
public speaker In the territory. In
New Mexico the two most widely
spoken languages of the world, the
''melllleuols, dignlied heavenly
Spanish and the clear. expressive,
business-like English, are %vernacular
Both should be preserved. But the
language of this nation is English. Her
laws, her literature are English; in
English should all her business be
transacted. None more loyal than the
native citizen OF New Mexico. and his
desire TO learn the language of his

that some way could no be devised
| of subpoenaing witnesses. Happily,
the methods used were entirely effect
i've, al least as far as the securing OF
every bit of testimony that could be
produced in support of the charges.
1t might have been that the young
man who was advised TO go driving
and others who could have given tes-
| timony favorable to the management
were not available.
However, The Optic Is glad to be-
lieye and TO express the belief that
II the committee had had to make a
report 10 the governor on the evidence
alone OF those called to support the
| charges against the institution, the re-
port would have been unanimously in
favor u the management. The hope
| less contradictions. the evident ami
mus. the Inconsistencies Of The dis
en- ea and d~isgruntled former en-
III glo appeared before the com.
ere in themselves a tribute
G OF the management Of
j titution. Several OF the wit.
aa notably Adolfe Gonzales, when
ut upon oath. upheld the manage.
f-ent on every point. Some OF the
witnesses had a grievance against
MISS Twomey. and their testimony
blamed her and upheld the others.
Dorhandt's grievance was against
St ward Ward. and the charges main
y affected that gentleman, known for
i score Of FEARS for his kind heart and
excellent management of the institr.
ton.
In the light Of the records Of the
institution and the abnndantly sup
ported rebuttal that swept away the
tissue Of Inconsistencies so nimsily
put together, the vindication Of the
management is complete. The attack
made upon the management of the
institution Is one of the most dis
graceful things that eve happened In
New Mexico. The meanest motives
and the lowest animus have been
shown. and the miserable character
assassin, blown from some u%nfriendly
shore, for what purpose the Lord only
knows. has dared to raise his voice
in defamation of decent and highly
respected citizens who have lived
among us for many years. Feeling
here runs high, and citizens Of Las
Vegas who value the fair name of the
city and will guard the repute
of her men and women, are not pre-
pared to stand much more. II there
is no law to protect our cherished
womanhood from the malicious asper-
cies of the assassin, another way will
be found-a fact which very clearly
received exemplifcation in the com
mittee rooms yesterday afternoon.

DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED.

Word received by telegraph from AL
~buquerque this afternoon is very reas-
surfing. The waters had fallen three
inches at noon and were still going
down. A message from Bond Bros. at
Espanola said 1t had stopped raining
up there and there was no danger OF
any further rise on account of melt
ing SHOWS. Albuquerque has had q
narrow escape from damage, and. III
fact. didn't escape entirely unseathed.
The water flooded a portion OF the
Barelas end of the city and flowed
over the Huning meadows. However,
there was no injury Of moment. But
strenuous and -long-continued effort
was necessary to keep the food from
invading the city. All North Fourth
street, where the menace was great
est, a strong leyee Of sand bags was
raised and a new channel was cut TO
permit the water TO make its way
back into the Rio Grande. For a time
all business in the city was suspend
ed ana everybody who could WELD
a shovel went to the city or Alameda
levees. Men worked day and night,
and the ladies' of the city, never back
ward In an emergency, cooked lunches
and took them out to their husbands
and brothers. With all that was done,
had the Alameda dyke given way
again, while effort was being concen-
trated AZ the city. the situation would
have been most serious. Albuquerque
has learned a lesson which 1t will
probably be not slow to heed. As in
other towns where menace existed,
the people had been inclined TO listen
to the assurance OF the pestifcrous
know it-all. who could prove beyond
per adventure there was no danger.
Albuquerque has come ont well, but
hundreds of people above the city
have been driven from their homes
and their houses and crops have been
destroyed. Fine homes and farms
within a mile of the city limits have
been ruined. All this could have been
avoided by a few hundred dollars In
diligently expended In the construc.
ton Of a suitable dyke at Alameda.

Not Sub ject to Head Tax

Washington. - Upon representa-.
tons made by the was department,
the immigration bureau has wired its
agents in San Francisco, Tacoma and
Seattle to exercise every facility for
admitting the Filipino carpenters
brought over on the transport Sher.
man to prepare the exhibit at the st.
Louis exposition. These people had
been detained on the ground that
they were req uired to pay a head tax
and also were likely TO become public
charges. The immigration bureau has
decided that no person coming to the
United States from any portion of the
Philippine islands is subject to head
tax. The ffty-two natives affected
will at once be sent to st. Louis.

Interesting Case

The case of the State revenue agent
representing Kinds and Adams coun-
ties, against the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Railroad, which has been on
trial before Chancellor Mayes in jack
son for the past week has been finish
ed. and Chancellor Mayes has it under
advisement. The chancellor states
that it will be some weeks before he
will hand down decision in the case.
The revenue agent is suing the road in
the name of those counties for $780,
900 worth of stock in the road, which
it is alleged is due the counties by rea-
son of the fact that they issued bonds
in this amonnt to build the road.
Since that time the road has passed
from the original owners and is now
part of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
Railroad. The case is likely to be
taken to the United States Supreme
Court if decision is rendered against
the road.

Seryians Taking a Hand.

Constantinople. The Servian gov
ernment's reply to the ports repre-
sensations says measures have been
taken to prevent bands entering Mac
edonia and that strong band which
was preparing to cross the frontier has
already been dispersed. The Servian
reply adds, however, that if the perse-
cution Of Christians and the excuses
of the Turkish troops continue and Sc
rious reforms are not introduced the
government will be unable to restrain
the popular agitation in Servia.
