PoLrrIos has got In Its work on the
School Of Mines at Socorro. G. II.
Brown, one OF the prominent mining
men Of the country, has been a men,
Der Of the board Of regents for six.
teen years. Last week he presented
his resignation, and will withdraw
from the board, as he could not get
along In harmony with the other
members. II Is said the real reason
was because Of the forcing OF the
election Of Fla. Jones, as president Of
the school. and that his election was
forced by the democratic members Of
the board. because he was ademocrat.
Mr.. Brown says that II they want
democrats TO run the school, instead
Of competent educators, he does not
want to be connected with the lnsti-
tuition In any manner.

THERE has been a turn over In the
custom service in this section and
Collector Cobb is replacing old men,
bers Of the force with democratic
friends, to whom he owes political
debts. To a democrat Of Cobb's abil-
ity and ruthlessness the civil service
rules are but an %eyanescent dream.
He scatters them. A. A. Ash has
been a line rider for some eight years,
having been transferred from the
Rough Riders to the custom service.
lie hEs given good service, and IL as
hard as a nut, but Collector Cobb
wrote him a letter, suggesting that as
he was getting along in years 1t
might be advisable for him to resign,
as the service needed younger and
more vigorous men. While contem-
plating the situation one Of these
younger and more vigorous men,"
who had been appointed to relieve an
other relic Of antiquity, who had
grown old and grey In the service,
VAS turned rel to Nj. Ash, with the
request that he show him the coun-
try. Ash had a little pasear to make
that day, to inspect . water hole
down near the Mexican line, to see II
the Mexicans were smuggling water
out Of the country, In violation Of
the near law prohibiting the expor-
tation Of munitions Of war, and took
the new man along with him to show
him the country. They got back to
Columbus In the edge Of the evening,
after travelling some n~inety-two miles
oil horseback. There was a dance In
Columbus that night, which Ash, the
aged wreck. attended, and danced till
late in the night. The next morning
the young and vigorous disciple Of
Cobb did not show up, and on lnves-
tigation he was found In bed, where
he remained for three days, recuper-
ating. Ash concluded he would not
resign. About that time Collector
Cobb got after the scalp Of George
Ryes, who vas deputy collector st
Columbus, which position he had Sc
cured under the civil service rules,
having served the time, and passed
the necessary examinations. The
position paid him el25 a month, with
house rent, water, wood and lights.
Kyes was transferred TO FL Paso, and
set to work a. an Inspector on the
bridge, at 600 a month, and find him
self, while the Columbus deputy Is
q man whom Cobb wanted there. This
set Ash to thinking. He was q man
Of family, and wanted TO be with his
family when not on duty. He figured
out how many times the Collector
could tranfer him, the expense Of
moving his family when transferred,
the uncertainty Of his remaining In
any position for any length OF time,
and concluded that he could make q
living without working for the gov
eminent, under such an oficer rs Col
lector Cobb, aud sotendered his res
ignatlon, which was accepted Inn
mediately, and he was separated from
the custom service on the 18th OF
April. Ash was q lifelong democrat,
but had the misfortune TO have been
appointed TO the service by a repub-
llcan, on his merit, and 70 was 10
bad Odor with the present admins
tration, where the only qualification
for ONCE. Is a straight democratic rec
ord, without ever having even Sc
cured the friendship ofa republican.
