SILVER PRODUCING MINES,

Silver has not only astonished its west
ern friends by its capers of late under the
operation OF the new law, but the wall
street gold-bugs have simply fallen down
in their amazement over it. Silver has
now reached price above $1.20 and at
last reports was still climbing upward.
Nine cents more will make it parity
with gold. That time may come so quick
ly that the present congress will give the
country free coinage act. But, perhaps,
it would be best, under all the circum.
stances, for the silver miners of the west,
should congress delay for year at least
any free coinage measure, for to all pres
ent indications there is going to be a
big shortage in the silver supply OF the
world before the year is out.
The silver production of the world
amounts to 1916, 100000 ounces per year.
The London Economist is authority for
the statement that India will require
100000 ounces OF silver during the
coming year The United States will pur-
chase, if the new silver act is executed in
spirit, 100000 ounces, while the au-
thorities estimate that 20,OOO,OOO ounces
is small amount to be used by the man
ufacturers Of the world. Thus there will
be absorbed 100000 ounces in these
directions alone, or an amount equal to
100000 ounces more than the average
worlds production. Is it any wonder then
that the price of silver is so steadily ad
vancing? Under such conditions there
should not be an idle silver producing
mine in Colorado and New Mexico for
wears to come,

THE PROGRAM DE THE RnssEs.

The program amongst the would-be
bosses and actual boodlers, who would
lead the Democratic party by the nose for
their own ends and in order to carry out
their own selfish and corrupt schemes, is
to claim in the Democratic convention,
that the action of the constitutional con-
yention in the meeting OF August the 49,
- last, was unconstitutional and illegal
and that therefore they, having such ten
der consciences, can not support and
vote for the adoption of the constitution
What tender consciences they have to be
sure and what a very immaculate lot they
are to be sure but when it comes to
claiming fraudulent land grants, selling
some of them to eastern people, putting
up fraudulent elections, as some of them
did in Bernalillo county in 1882, selling
lands and landed property not belonging
to them, violating the laws, getting up
White Cap outrages or misgoverning the
territory as they did under the Ross
Doodle administration, their consciences
are not quite as tender and are in some
funny manner or another found wanting.
However it may be, that they will slip up
in their scheme, and that the sentiment
Of the rank and file of the Democratic
party, which is for statehood, may assert
itself. 1t surely will, unless it is stran-
gled in the convention by foul and dis.
honest means.

state is an independent, sovereign mem.
in both branches of congress, and its
representatives have power to vote,
A territory is represented III
one house only, and that by a
delegate who has no right to vote.
The Democrats of New Mexico will be
doing their territory and future state q
great injury if they stand in the way OF
this attempt to stablish state govern
ment. They will be false to what they
claim is cardinal principle of their party
the doctrine that the right of local self
government should always be maintained.
One of the leading Democrats of New
Mexico is Mr.. w. B. Childers, of Albu-
querque. If he makes no blunders, he
will have prominent place in the coun-
ellis of his party when New Mexico comes
into the union. But he was credited some
time ago with being leader in the oppo-
sition which the Democrats made to the
constitutional convention that assembled
in Santa Fe last year. If he carries that
opposition to the extent Of trying to defeat
the adoption of the proposed constitution,
he will strike blow at the welfare of
New Mexico, and in doing that he will
make blunder which may involve his
political ruin In the future. To all such
Democrats as Mr.. Childers we suggest
that by opposing statehood for New Mex
leo they may ruin themselves, while they
will delay the organization of a state gov
eminent for only a few years at the most.
Their objections to the proposed constitu-
ton are not in themselves sufficient to
justify opposition to the formation of a
state government.-Denver Republican.

THE people of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1885 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost of running the courts
was 100000 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
,clal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to jusl and honest ad-
ministration of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
swelve months of the present Republican
regime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
Of deficiency in the pay Of jurors, etc.,
of about $1,000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
of New Mexico were systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

STATEHOOD COMMENTS.

How S0cOrro County Feels on the Cues
ton.
Have you read the constitution, if not,
get a copy and see for yourselves what
it contains.
The constitution submitted to the peo-
pie of New Mexico for adoption October
z, is the best ever submitted to any
people. Read il before you condemn
it.
The bulk of those who opposed the con-
stitution on account of what they did not
like before it was amended, now oppose
it because they claim the convention had
no authority to amend it.
Would you have prosperity? Would
you have our land titles settled ?
Would you have voice in national
affairs? Would you have public
schools? Would you have this country
settled by the best of emigrants from
the east? Vote for the constitution
adopt it.
Every voter in New Mexico, whether
he be Republican or Democrat, should
examine and carefully weigh the ques-
ton of statehood, it is question that
does not enter into politics; it is a ques.
ton of the best interests of this territory.
1t is best to be state, to be in full COM
munion with the rest of the government
| to have a voice; to have and control our
public school lands to act for ourselves
to elect our own officers; to supply oul
own want with our own people. To us
it seems there can be but one side to this
matter, and that it would be for our best
interests to be state.-Socorro Chief
tain.
Thinks W. Il. Childers can do it.
On the 9TH of next October the people
OF New Mexico will vote upon the ques
ton of adopting what would be the con
stitution of New Mexico in the event o.
the admission of that territory into the
union as a state. 1t is to be hoped, fol-
the sake of New Mexico's future and fol
the sake of its material development
that the people will see the wisdom O.
adopting this constitution. 1t is to bt
hoped that the Democrats will vote for it
Notwithstanding it contains some fea
lures that they do not approve. The
most important thing for New Mexico il
to secure those rights which are enjoyed
only by the citizens of states. They
need self-government in order that they
may regulate their own affairs. AS Ions
as the territorial government is continued
they will be under subsection to congress
Congress can legislate for the territories
and, even in respect to acts passed by {
territorial legislature, congress has al
annulling power. A territory is pro
vince of the federal government. A

DURING three and halt years Of the

DURING three and halt years of the
Ross Doodle administration of the terri
torial penitentisry there was received
from the labor of convicts and the feeding
OF United States prisoners the sum Of
$1,000. During the first twelve months
of the present Republican administration
from March 4 1889, to March 1890,
there being about the same number of
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1S9O) there was received the
amount of $4,000, from the same source.
Facts are facts and these facts mean that
the present administration Of the terri
torial prison is honest and economical
and efficient. and that the Democratic
administration under ex-Gov. Ross was
dishonest, extravagant and inefficient.

THAT great and eminent land grant
owner and land grant claimer, the Hon.
Antonio Joseph, claimant of the Ciene-
guilla and Ojo Caliente land grants in
Taos and Rio Arriba counties (uncon-
frmed, inhabited by from $500 to 1000
people, and claimed by Antonio Joseph
ct al, for 100000 acress) will be trium-
phantly nominated by the Democratic
convention on Wednesday next as can
didate for delegate to congress upon an
ant-land grant platform. How Mr..
Joseph is to figure as running on an anti
land grant platform, how he is going to
do so, is somewhat obscure at present,
but time will tell. His antics will be
funny and laughable.
