The appointment of .Mr. Rich
ardson as a member of the board of
regents of the Agricultural college;
in the place of Judge McFio, whose
term of office has expired, will be
received with satisfaction by the
democrats of the territory. When
Governor Thornton came into office
he found four republicans on the
board of regents of the Agricultural
college, and he has changed the po
litical complexion of the board so
that it is just as strongly democra
tic now as it was republican then.
While it is very much to lie regret
ted that politics were ever allowed
to enter into the management of the
Agricultural college, the democrats
found a political wrangle of the
most malignant kind going on
among the regents of the institu
tion and have done what they could
to put a stop to it. How well they
have succeeded is shown by the in
creased attendance at the college
and the superior character of the
work which is being done there.
Tine present term of the United
States court will necessarily be
short for the reason that Judge
Bantz will have to open court at
Las Cruces next Monday, that being
the day for the opening of the regu
lar term of the district court for
that county. It is expected, how
ever, that the next term of the
United States court here will con
tinue for a considerably longer per
iod. The term will commence in
February and will probably last
well into the month of March.
The supreme court of the United '
States decided that the income tax
law which was passed by the last
congress was unconstitutional, and
now a Chicago judge has decided
tliat the Chinese exclusion act is
unconstitutional. Should the su
preme court of the United States
take the same view of the case as
the Chicago judge, there will be
great rejoicing among the China
men. Our lawmakers should be a
little more careful and try to pass
laws that will stand the ordeal of
1 ho courts.
Nkxt week the territorial fair
will be held at Albutpueniup, and
the territory will be well represent
ed at the Duke city during the week.
None of the representative citizein
of the territory can afford to remain
away from the fair and the irriga
tion congress.
The republicans of Pennsylvania
have declared against the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 1G to 1. The republican
party cannot be expected to do any
thing for silver next year.
Some of the residents of Dona;
Ana county are beginning to talk
seriously of removing the county
seat from Las Cruces. The county '
seat was never legally removed from ;
Mesilla, the books and papers hav
ing been removed to Las Cruces in
the night from Mesilla which place
had been the county seat of Dona
Ana county for many years. Some
of the good people down there are
not the proper dace for the county
seat of the county.
The board of county commission
ers have been directed by the court
to levy a special tax to pay the in
debtedness of the county to A. R
Laird. The amount to be raised is
about f 10,000, or some-thing more
than the amount levied for the pay-'
ment of the current expenses of the
county annually. A few special
tax levies like this will wake up
the taxpayers of the county and
cause them to look more carefully
into the iiinncial affairs of the;
county.
The attendance at the Normal1
scho.d is not so large this term as
it was hoped that it would be, but '
j the pupils who attend will have all
i the better chance to improve in
their studies during the year,
