PoT 10 dicho Sc We que 10 adoptado es
contrario los principles de- una buena
administration, el Departamento eata
firmemente conyencido de que las escuelas,
entorpecidas desde un principle con tan
embarazoso sistema de administration, no
podrfan tener exito. No obstante que q
mi me conpta, por haberlo eKpresado asf,
qne uatedes son de distinta opinion en- este
asunto, he crefdo conveniente exponer con
alguna latitud Ia mia Z fin dc que puedan
comprender con Ia mayor claridad la aeti-
tud tomada por el Departamento.
En- opinion del Attorney General IL
Comisi6n ha sobTepahado el cfrculo de sus
atribuciones Ill establecer Comite de Nom
bramientos. Este acuerdo do Ia Comisi6n
equivale & una deTogaci6n de alguna de-
las disposiciones de la Ley Escolar. En-
Ia secci6n 35 de ii Ley define quienes son
los maestros especiales, incluyendo entire
eIlos todos los maestros con exception de-
los rurales, graduados, maeatros pTincipa.
les maestros de iDgl6s, y expone en Ia
Secci6n So que los maestros de ingles u
todos los maestres especiales seran nom-
brados directamente poT el Comisionado de
instruction desempeharan los puestos
que 81 les asignare. Como la recomenda-'
ci6n del Comite de Nombramiento sin Ia
cual el Comisionado de instruction no po-
dra nombrar ningdn maestro especial para
estag escuelas, esta en- alberta contradlc-
ci6n con Ia Secci6n 55 mencionada que
dispone que estos maestTos sean nombra-
dos directamente por el Comisionado de
instruction, el acuerdo tornado por la
Comisi6n vendrfa constitute una eumien-
da esta Secci6n por consiguiente una
medida legislativa; pero como la Comisi6n
no esta inYestida de la facultad Legislative,
resuIta que el acuerdo de establecer este
Comit6 de Nombramientos ea nulo y sin
ningdn valor y por consiguiente & NADIA
obliga.
Me parece un procedimiento por com
pleto incorrecto que 70 como Comisionado
de Instruction estableciese escuelas sobre
una base que ell Attorney General ha de.
cidido que esta en opoaici6n con Ia ley.
Por esta raz6n he deplorado mucho que Ia
mayorfa de Ia Comisi6n no haya indicado
deseo alguno de revisar las resoluciones
adoptadas. De no reyisar dichas resolu-
clones Bera impossible abrir las eseuelas, y
en- este case los edifcios y ell equipo esco-
lar quedaran sin uso, y por falta de el
seguramente Sc deterioraTan, y 500 niflos
se veran ademas privados de Ia oportuni-
dad de recibir instruction. Como este
resuItado no puede ser mas deplorable,
respetuosamente lIamo la atenci6n de
ustedes hacia el hecho de que todo clio ha
de ser la consecuencia inevitable de man
tener en- toda su integridad las resolucionea
adoptadas por Ia Comisi6n, al mismo
tempo que me diriio ustedes nuevamen-
te para que estas resolucioneg sean modif-
cadas de manera que puedan estar dc

A Venezuelan military attache at
Paris had turned in a report upon
the French army. He praised its
organization and held it up as de-
sirable model for imitation by Ven
ezuela. President Castro sent for
the luckless officer.

of my duty"

beaten?"

the better of French troops?"

FORCE OF nAslr.

Last summer the Tribune ran four
excursions, for the benefit of the
Greeley band, and the little park
near the depot. That brought on a
habit that is hard to break away
from. Hundreds of Greeley people
and others, who had but few oppor-
tunities for outings joined these ex-
cursions and spent many pleasant
hours in the mountains. away from
all work and care.
So strong has the call to the hills
again come, that the Tribune peo-
pie can no longer resist it, so here
goes for another excursion. This
time the excursion will be for
benefit Of nobody in particular,
but for everybody in general.
A good time for Tribune readers
is the sole object. AS there must
be no rakeoff for anyone in the deal,
the rate will be correspondingly
lower, which will give still more
people the means of going.
The place selected this season for
the first excursion Is Eldorado
Springs. We will venture that there
are not dozen persons in Greeley
familiar with the place, and yet
there is not a more charming spot
In the mountains. The date of the
excursion will be Friday, July 81.

BOTH SHOULD BE DECENT.

The movement in the three
northern Colorado counties, Weld,
-Larimer. and Boulder, for cleans
ing of the democratic party from
corporation rule is healthful indi-
citation of better things for Colorado.
politically. 1t Is so well known
that state politics, in no matter
what party, are controlled complete
ly by little ring OF corrupting and
corrupt corporation men and their
tools in Denver. that there is but
little need of its repetition here.
Denver is the center of a system of
corruption, whose rami6catlons and
branches reach into every county
government in the state, to more
or less degree, according to the value
of the interest" Of the corporation
lists in such counties. 1t is neither
the democratic party nor the repub-
lican party that is responsible for this
thing, but a clique of professional
ghouls that prey upon the public un-
der the guise of one party or the
other. The people of this section
are to be congratulated on the fact
that the movement to take the dem
ocratic party out vf the clutches OF
the Denver machine originated here.
As the republican party was not the
first to declare its political inde-
pendence of that machine, its MEN,
bers should do the next best thing,

Misplaced Sympathy.

A French judge visiting England
was riding in a London tram car
when the conductor asked for his
fare. The judge offered sixpence
and when he received fourpence
change gave the conductor two
pence, saying:
Here, my man, get yourself a
glass of beer"
A clergyman, sitting opposite, in
terposed:
Excuse me, sir, but is it wise to
encourage Drinking? I have not
touched a glass of beer for years."
"Poor man" exclaimed the Judge.
'Take re odder twopence."

guished guest. "The emperor gave
him a lovely snuffbox. There is a

''No, it is a hen," persisted the

name in brilliants on the id.-Lon-

DYNAMITE FlENDs.
Me.ioans Have Discovered That th'
Explosive Is a Dream Producer.

-
Explosive Is a Dream Producer.
An American business man OF
Monterey who was on visit few
days ago to a mining camp situated
near the city was surprised and mys-
titled to hear one Mexican miner
say to his companion as they came
from the depths of mine:
"Come over to the cantina to-
night and take some dynamite with
me-"
The American superintendent ex-
planned the invitation:
"That was not an invitation to
take drink of some new brand OF
liquor, as might be supposed he
said. "Those two Mexicans are dy-
Mantle fends. They actually eat
dynamite and get drunk on the dan
gerous substance"
1t is fact that many of the Mex
lean miners of the peon class are
dynamite eaters. 1t is vice that
is rapidly spreading to all of the
mining camps in Mexico. J. c.
Ford, prominent American mining
man of the Guadalupe y Calvo dis
trict, said concerning this new
habit:
"Users of dynamite soon learn
that it is a powerful stimulant and
that the effects of intoxication are
pleasing while they last beyond the
most excruciating phantasies of an
opium dream. Dynamite is manu-
factured for the purpose of smash
ing things, and tiny bit of it cours-
ing through the veins smashes the
whole end of care and blows dullness
into atoms.
'The 'dynamiteur' usually is very
dainty and exact in his method of
going about the introduction of q
high explosive into his. system. The
preferred way to do this is to cut
off small piece of IS per cent
'dyna,' about the size of pea. This
is dissolved in small glass of mes
cal or tequile, and the draft is quaff-
ed down with a gusto that comes
from pleasant anticipations. The
performer of this trick then rolls in
his blanket and stretches himself
at length in the cool shade. 1t is
said that very soon his nerves begin
to tingle, and stranger dreams come
to him than the weird visions in
duced by hasheesh.
"The amount of dynamite con
sumed at an ordinary camp by those
addicted to taking it into their sys-
TENS in the way above described is
so large that it appreciably affects
the quantity Of that explosive re-
quired to carry on the regular work
There is large and increasing num-
Der of people addicted to vice that
only the most imaginative Of per
sons could have invented. 1t may not
be assuming too much to state that
eventually dynamite will be dis
pensed at saloons as much as are to-
bacco and alcoholic drinks and the
'dynamiteur' will be as distinct a
class as the absintheur or ordinary
boozer." = Monterey (Mexico) Let
