To the people of New Mexico. At (rovemor of Ilia lerritorr I fl con con-truinfil - truinfil con-truinfil to make a public tuiifrMtion, and lake tliiii noinewbat unaaual method of doing- o, becauK the urgency of th caa re requires - quires requires that you ahoulcl at once ho informed of the existir situiition, and became I beliere that by prompt actioa you can AToid .oine of the conat-qurncen of a legii legii-laliTP - laliTP legii-laliTP blunder which falla but littU abort of a criuio. The twenty-eiohth Ipjriiilative amembly haa rcfuied to irife you an adequate acbool law. It is not neceary to comment upon the inflaencM which brought aboat thia reo u It, but, in common juatice. I tnuit nay that in the council Meatn. King, Dolan, Krauki, Chavez, Fort and Kodey labored earnetly and faithfully for tha came of education; while ia the botme Hem. KÜor. Holland, GaHwin, EnifTen. Fot- ler, Cooney, Webnter, Ijcunet and Spieri were equally true to themielvei and the demand, of public welfare. But, after bitter debate and a protracted triiL'ffle, which, coming at the cloieof the ennijii, crowded anule oiuch other impor important - tant important leg-iiltition, the school bill was finally defeated. The retult i moat di'irrncefal to New Mexico, and coming- at thia par particular - ticular particular juncture, in the face of our pending- application for staUhood, ia apt to have a rjio-t diaaatroua influence upon our future. It ia folly to attempt concealment. I he newa has already spread abroad, and nationul U'jfi.lntora who opposed our ad admission - mission admission point to thia as conclusive evidence that they had taken our measure arig-ht. Unless something is done, and done at once, the defeat of this common school bill will retard our progress for many years. I believe, the intelligent, progressive people of New Mexico have the remedy largely in their owu hands. Let us at once call public meeting in every town in the territory to memorialize congress, circu circulate - late circulate petitious and write our friends at the mitional capital, praying congress to grant us now the non-sectarian public school law which the national government has been under a moral obligation to give New Mexico ever since the treaty of Guada Guada-luupo - luupo Guada-luupo Hidalgo. Let us demonstrate that the great mass of our people lulJy appre appreciate - ciate appreciate the value of public schools and the necessity for attendance thereat. I be believe - lieve believe that, upon the proper presentation of I he case, congresn will give us suth a law, uml piovide the means to put it in practi practical - cal practical operation. That p-neral effort, when put forth, will donbtlei-s be cited by the piejudicud us ad additional - ditional additional evidence as a confesaion of our tinKti.ecs for statehood. 1 realize that, to the nation, it will bear the appearance of un at peal of intelligence for protection i g:iit.st ignorance. But we are ia the lace of bard facts. The legislative asew asew-bly - bly asew-bly ha.' put ns in this dilemma. We must Imilil, not for to-day or to-morrow, but for ull time, lt the consequences be what they may, we miiat fully und frankly ex expose - pose expose the evil, for by that means alone can we have it corrected. Our lack of a "repu "repu-luljle - luljle "repu-luljle ffectivo school law is a loathsome ore upon the body politic; heroic treat treatment - ment treatment alone will work a cure, and the knife cannot be to speedily applied. If we make proper effort lor congrvsaional aid, it will be granted us, and our state statehood, - hood, statehood, when achieved, will stand upon the more enduring foundation, in that we make intelligence its chief corner atone. Let ua go to work then, and work nnit nnit-eily - eily nnit-eily in un appeal to congress for the re relief - lief relief Uiat our own lawmakers have denied us. These latter have forced tbo isaue. They have thrown down the gauntlet, and we owe it to the best interests of our terri tory to take it up. They have denied ua tue enjoyment of our most cherished right. They have forced the controversy upon us, and, if we are true to ourselves, we csn invoke a power which will render nuga nugatory - tory nugatory their efforts to perpetuate ignorance and reta.d progress. With this aid from the general government the influence of these dangerous men will be forever de destroyed. - stroyed. destroyed. They have sown the wind. . Let them reap the whirlwind. KnMi'ND G.

They wr-re superceded, or followed, in Mexico by the Azteca; whether by tha fortunes of war, or other cauaea ia uncertain. Traces of them have been found as far aouth aa Central America, but here tradition itself comes to an end. Observing travelers who have visited Mexico and Central America assert that the Toltec ruins in those coun countries - tries countries denote a people of . Egyptian origin.

If Mr. Cusbiog shall be fortunate enough to add to our knowledge of this ancient and remarkable race he will have put bis time and energies to good uae.
