The people OF New Mexico are some
what divided on the question of state
hood Many think We are not yet,
throughout all portions Of the territory
capable OF conducting public affairs, state
affairs, so as to secure good government.
State government is only the union Of
county and city governments Tor the
purpose of regulation OF internal affairs
so that the peOp.e may, as body. act in
concert for the mutual benefit of the
whole commonwealth in corporation
with the federal government. 1t is fact
that most all counties in the territory are
under good civil government, that ont
laws and despe.sdOes are about as scarce in
New Mexico as in the states Of the Union ;
that the people are as good in Char
acte- as other people. Yet outside Of the
territory the common expression is, thtt
you people of New MexIpo can not expect
admission to the Union under a Eepub
lican administration, The reason assigned
is that the administration and party in
power are afraid the new state would be
Democratic. They say You could not ex-
pect dominant party to favor the admis.
sion to statehood Of any territory that
would operate against their political in
terests. The Eagle deprecates the acts of
any government or party that will refuse
to grant any people their rights for
fear Of loss to themselves or others now
reaping advantage by depriying others of
their rights. Whether the territory is
really Democratic or Republican is not
the question. The question is, do the local
Governments of the territory Indicate that
the people are capable of self-govern-

FREE SILVER GOES.

The decision of the free silver men,
bers of the House to present bill is a
heavy blow to the Democratic party, but
we believe it is good thing for the
country at large.
If there is foe to be met, it is best
that he should be unconcealed. The
presentation in the House of free coin
age bill will part the financial sheep and
goats so effectually that Democracy will
no longer be able to evade the issue. 1t
will stand forth confessed and proved a
party, the vast majority of whose MEM
bers favor paying a dollar for about 20
cents worth of Mexican and Indian sill
yer, whenever il shall be presented for
sale. After such AN exhibition it will
be idle for the Democrats TO attempt to
straddle the issue in their platform.
Everybody will know how they stand.

Presidential contest. Will New York,
the greatest commercial centre of the
continent, stand free silver? Springer,
who wished 10 postpone the issue, was
craftier than Bland. who will force it.

Dave Hill spent his Sunday in New

not to shington-though he may be
supposed to feel some mild interest in

ant and even startling. Mr.. Hill, say

MIR. BLAINE Has SPOKEN.

Mr.. Blaine's letter to Gen. j. S. Clark
son, Chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee has to-day brought
genuine sorrow to millions of people in
this country and yet it was not unexpect-
ed. Ever since he entered the cabinet,
the malignant zeal of partisan press
has been devoted with rare and consist
ant energy to digging broad and deep in
the public mind the conception OF
breach between President and Secretary.
Mr.. Blaine's position has been made as
trying and difficult as man ever stood in.
Every fresh triumph of his diplomatic
genious has been interpreted as but a
clutch at personal triumph at the ex-
pense of his chief; patriotism, devotion
to his country, the successful Inaugural
tion Of a new and statesmanlike COM
mercial policy have been imputed to him
as little short of sins of treachery.
Throughout the storm that has ragged
about him Mr.. Blaine has borne himself
with unexampled serenity. Such has
been his tact, his dignity and disregard
of the loose-tongued tattlers that he has
won a place in the estimation of his
countrymen above that of any living
American and hardly second to any
name in our history. He had but to in
innate that he would receive nomina-
ton, and it would have been his with
out question. Such tribute has been
paid to but one or two Americans.
His withdrawal at this moment from
the field in which he was the conspicu-
Gus and welcome figure can be inter-
preted only as an act of courtesy to his
official chief which should put an end at
once and forever to the talk of bicker-
ings and jealousies between them. 1t is
the act of a man sensitive to every re-
quirement of honor, and who prefers to
put aside the ambition of his life rather
than seem to stand in false position.
There are many who will consider
that Mr.. Blaine has been altogether too
exigent in his requirements upon him.
self and too punctilious in his observance
of official etiquette. Sincere as in his
his letter, and resolutely as he has put
all thought of the prize, which was
within his hand, behind him, the coun-
try will hope that if the National Re-
publican Convention shall unanimously
press upon him nomination he will see
himself the man desired above all others
by his party and absolve himself from his
decision.
Whether this shall come about or not,
Mr. Blaine has earned one more title to the
respect and affection of his countrymen
and given one more proof, if proof were
needed, of harmony in the national
councils.

so often the case, merely coiled around
it from top to bottom. The shaft itself
became, as it always does, seething
chimney for the flames, and the stair
way even before it was burned away,
was too hot TO permit its use. And as
the suddenness of the flames precluded
the possibility of much use OF nets, the
frightened inmates clung like flies to
