CAUSE FOR ENCOURAGEMENT.

The opinion Of men who have given
their best thought to the subject for years
differ as to the effect OF the policy sug-
gested by the secretary OF the treasury
for solving the silver problem. However,
majority OF western men III congress do
not appear to take kindly to the proposed
plan. Sec. Window would issue treasury
notes against deposits of silver bullion at
the market price Of silver when deposited,
payable on demand in such quantities OF
silver bullion as will equal in value, at the
date of presentation, the number OF dol
lars expressed on the face of the notes
at the market price of silver, or in gold,
at the option of the government; or in
silver dollars at the option OF the holder I;
repeal the compulsory feature OF the pres
ent coinage act, and vest in the treasury
department the power to suspend tenn
porarily the receipt of silver bullion for
payment in notes when necessary to pro-
tect the government against speculative
combinations.
The president himself treats the matter
with much conservatism. He fears the
effects of an increased coinage to the
present lawful limit of S4 100000 of silver
per month, yet nevertheless he insists
that silver shall not be discredited by our
government and declares himself unquali-
fedly an advocate of the use of silver as
currency.
But it must be confessed that Sec.
WINDOWS views are disappointing to
western people. 1t was hardly to be ex-
pected that he would recommend free
coinage of silver, but it was thought that
he would suggest certain safe guards of
law be thrown around the treasurer so
that he would have stronger backing in
directing the coinage of the maximum
amount of $4,000,000 per month under
the Bland act. 1t was believed that con-
gress was ripe for some such suggestion
as this, and it is still thought that con-
gress will take some action in that direc-
tion but it is not at all probable that the
power the secretary asks for will be con-
ferred upon the treasury department,
nor is it probable that there will be anv
legislation interfering with the coinage
of at least 100000 amonth; the friends
of silver may rest assured of that if there
is any legislation it will be toward bring
ing silver nearer the money value of gold,
This is indicated by the fact that already
there have been three measures intro
duced in the senate with this end in
view. Western Republicans who are
contending for the proper recognition
of silver have great cause for encourage
ment.

THE report of the superintendent of the
life saving service is very interesting
one. Very valuable work has been done
by it. The number of rescued persons
was 1908 aud the value OF property saved
is estimated at $6O,OOO,OoO. The cost Of
the whole service is less than one-sixth Of
that sum, and the superintendent is amply
justified in asking for an increase of pay
for the hardy surfmen. The service they
perform is in every way so hazardous and
occasions 80 often occur calling for heroic
efforts on their part that congress can moi
afford to stint the appropriation upon
which these men depend for remuneration
and support. ...

Letting taxes from them because the terri

Mr.. Dolan's resgning. Mr.. Metcalf has
been a resident of New Mexico for six
years past; he is hard working Republi-

make first class official.

Merchants and others are hereby re-
minded that the New MEXICAN is pre-.
pared to do their printing on short notice
and at reasonable rates. Much of the job
printing now going out Of town should
come to the New MEXICAN Office. There
in no better excuse for sending out OF
town for printing than there is for sending
away for groceries or clothing. Our mer-
chants should consider these things. The
New MEXICAN is acknowledged the lead
ing paper of this section. The patronage
Of the people will enable us to keep it 80.

OUR information is to the effect that
serious charges have been filed with some
of the senate committees against several
federal appointees, and that one or two OF
them will have a rather rocky road to travel
before confirmation, and that these latter
may not be confirmed at all.

A WOMAN IN a NEGRo's GRIP.
A Scream Saved Her From the Black
Ravisher's Lust.

haV1Sn0r'S Lust.
ATLANTA, GA, June GA special from
Covington says: "a big. burly, black
negro attempted to rape Miss Bette Connor
of this place at 9 o'clock last night. Miss
Connor and her aged mother live alone in a
pretty little cottage opposite the Methodist
church.
"At o'clock last night she went out in
the back piazza to bring in mat As she
reached down to secure it, a big black negro
jumped from shadow and caught her by
the throat and threw her to the floor. But
before his fingers had frightened enough to
choke her she uttered a scream, which at
tracted the attention of I. j. Sheppard and
Mr.. Ingram. They rushed in, but the
negro heard their footsteps before
accomplishing his design and fed. AS
they reached Miss Connor's side they caught
a glimpse of the negro jumping from the
piazza, but instead of pursuing him they
lifted the lady into the house in order to re-
suscitate her. She had been choked
severely, and was unconscious for an hour
afterwardA the prints of the brute's fingers
still remaining on her throat. A crowd
qnickly gathered around the house, but be-
fore pursuit was thought Of the negro had
fed, and left no trace behind.
Miss Connor did not see his face,
nor can sne give any KIND or de-
scription of him, except that he was burly
black fellow. A few ordinary hounds were
secured and put on the Negroes track, but
they could not follow it, Bloodhounds were
telegraphed for to Atlanta, but it was too
late to get them on the night train, and it
is not believed that the negro
will ever be caught, although parties
are now securing the country around
for him. Even though he were caught
no one got glimpse Of his face. and it
would be impossible to identify him. Miss
Conner, who is lady of perhaps 45 years
of age, was seen by a correspondent after
midnight. She had entirely recovered from
negro's fingers upon her neck. Not even
O trace of the direction the brute took has
been discovered, and there seems to be no
hope Of catching him, although, if caught,
ha will be SWING to the nearest tree.

THoMAsvILLE TOPICS.
The Commencement Exercises at the
College.

THoMAsvILLE, GA, June 22-Thomas-
vile has had gala appearance for the past
two weeks. Quite a number of visiting
strangers are here attending the examina-
tion and commencement exercises of our
two colleges The South Georgia college
finished its examination last week and then
deferred its closing exercises, to take in the
exercises of the Young Female college
which have occupied this week.
The commencement sermon at the Young
Female college, by Rev. r. H. Harris, was
a fine effort and gave universal satisfaction.
Hesnad large and interested audience.
Tho graduating exercises of Tuesday night
were unusually interesting, and the large
chapel was packed to suffocation almost.
Misses Alma Dele, Claire Thomas. Mamie
Jerger and Ella Lightfoot graduated with
honor Their essays were more than usually
interesting and reflected great upon the
officers and teachers of ths college. Presij
dent Baker and his efficient corps of teach
ers have placed the college in the front
rank, and its nineteenth session had very
successful closing
Tomorrow the commencement exercises
of the South Georgia college will be in
augurated by a sermon, by Rev. T. @.
Smith of Cedar Keys, Fla. On Monday
night the Hon. p w Meldrim, of your
city, will deliver the literary address be-
fore the societies. On Tuesday evening the
prize defamation and debate by the mem
berS of the higher classes comes off.
Wednesday night the annual concert takes
place, the exercises closing on Thursday
night, by cantatta entitled Trial by
Jury"
At meeting of the board Of trustees of
the college the other day John Triplett and
James f. Evans were placed on the board
of trustees and Prof. Lovejoy reelected to
the position of principal for the ensuing
term. There is bright future before the
college, and some important changes in
contemplation.
The weather-that threadbare topic-has
been hot, with plenty of rain the past week.
Crops are in pretty fair condition. Too
much rain now, which we anticipate, will
injure the melon crop. The pear crop is
very good, and bids fair to be more than
an average yield in this county. Cotton
and corn are looking WELL and as a rule
the farmers are up with their work.
