THE price of silver has beer
steadily advancing since the cleo
ton and the demand for silver for
export has been larger in the last
three weeks than for some time
past. This increase in price and
the increased demand for silver on
the continent cannot be attributed
TO the action of the International
monetary conference because it is
generally conceded hat no benefit
will result 10 silver on account Of
the conference. There is a pre-
vailing sentiment that since the
democratic party win have control
of all the branches Of the govern
ment after the 4th of next March,
there will be a free coinage bill
passed. This sentiment is as pro-
nounced 10 Europe as It is in this
country and Europeans are not
amy time getting silver
while ii can be purchased cheap.

THE last of the Extensive tin
plate plants" in this country closed
down the day after the late cleo
ton. This fact has not been
extensively noticed by the repub-
lican press Of the country but
when the matter has to be noticed
by the republican editors they will
doubtless explain it by saying that
the democrats intend 10 reduce the
tariff on tin as soon as possible
after the meeting of the next con-
gress. II viii be little over a
year before the next congress will
meet and it will take some months
to get a tariff bill through. Looks
as though the "tin plate manufac-
turers' Of this country have been
little premature in their action
II that was the reason for closing
down the mills. If they were
being operated at the expense of
the republican campaign managers
for campaign purposes, aud closed
down because the campaign is
over, it is Of course, a very differ
ent matter.

AN Open LnTTFR.

AN OPEN LETTER.
10 the Hon. L. Bradford Prince, Governor Of
the Territory, Santa fe, y. NJ.
SIN:
In an interview published in
the Evening Citizen, Nov. 1e the
following is ascribed to you;
"And they overlooked the in
.creasing volume Of dense ignor-
ance which is accommodating in the
foreign quarters Of our great cities
where thousands of Bohemians,
Hungarlans etc, are crowded to-
gether without any knowledge of
American institutions or feeling
any Americanizing influences, aud
simply vote as Tammany or some
kindred organization directs"
If these, sir, are your ill-tem-
pered words, you have far over
leapt the truth to cast a gratui-
tous slur at the nation that gave
me birth. 1, sir, am a Bohemian
by birth and / am proud of it, and
as an honorable, useful American
citizen, perhaps L should not
shrink from comparing my career
with hat of your excellency. But
why does your Acknowledgment ,
stop at Bohemians and Hunga-
rians? Why not write out your
etcetera and say boldly what you
leave to be inferred? Does not
your etcetera include the Dutch
and Irish? Why not speak it out
boldly? All, perhaps there are
more Dutch and Irish votes in
New Mexico than Bohemians, but
there is one Bohemian, at least,
who will not allow a gratuitous
slur issued against his race with
out raising his voice in their de-
Tense. That increasing volume
of dense ignorance" sir, does not
come from brave, patriotic Bohe-
mia, which you have grossly SLAM
dered.
L have only to hope, and that !
do sincerely, that your excellency
has not been reported correctly,
for such rash words from the
mouth Of the governor of a Terri
torp aspiring to statehood, might
be misconstrued to the disadvant-
age of New Mexico in quarters
where they could do much harm.
"Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who y to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land?"
Very respectfully,
M n TrpuUT

TIE accounts of the various
counties Of New Mexico would be
kept in better shape and the pub
lie funds would be paid over more
promptly If each county had an
auditor to look after these matters.
The Office Of county auditor should
be created ss = matter of economy
and the next Legislature ought to
pass a bill to that end.

THE international monetary con-
ference is in session but there is
little reason to hope that the con-
dition of silver viii in any way be
benentted hy it. The free and
unlimited coinage of silver is the
only salvation for the white metal
and a free coinage bill ought to be
passed at the coming session of
congress.

THE maintenance of the county
Jail Of this County costs about Sl0,-
600 annually. This includes feed
ing prisoners at rs cents a day.
This expense might very properly
be reduced one half and this is one
of the things which should re-
ceive the attention of our legisla-
tors at Santa Fe this winter.

INTEREST ought TO be paid on
public funds on deposit in banks.
The First National Bank of Santa
Fe has had a large amount Of
money ON deposit, belonging to
the Territory during many years
past. The Territory, has derived
no benefit from this large deposit
and, at the same time, has been
paying interest on outstanding
bonds.

JUDGE JOSEPH BooNE,of Deming
is an aspirant for appointment as
United States District Attorney.
The judge is a sterling democrat
who, during his whole life has
been fighting in the front rank for
the principles Of democracy. He
never sulks in his tent and is Just
the kind of a democrat who should
be recognized.

APPLICANTS for appointments
to government positions under
the new administration will not
further their interests by making
their desires known TO the Presi-
dent elect previous to his inaugur-
alton. He has spoken in a very
decided manner in reference to
applications for appointments and
has given office seekers TO under
stand that applications filed after
the 4th Of March will still be in
time. The axe viii be kept whiz-
zing until the heads of oil the

CONGRESS will meet next Mon
day and the people of this Terri
tory will watch with great interest
the progress of the bill for the
admission of New Mexico into the
Union. This bill, as amended by
the senate committee, has been
reported favorably to the senate
but, if it should pass in its present
form, there r good reasons for
believing that the house of repre-
s~entatives will not concur in the
senate amendments. The appro-
priations Of public lands provided
for in the house bill are the most
liberal ever made to a new state
but these appropriations have
been cut down by the senate COM
mittee. It is believed that the
democratic house, rather than con-
cur in the amendments, will allow
the bill to go over to the next
congress when both the senate and
the house will be democratic and
when the bill can be passed as it
originally passed the house. 1t is
possible that the senate Will finally
consent to pass the bill as it came
from the house and if this is done
there will be another star added
to the flag for New Mexico on the
4th of next July.

The time is drawing near when
the change of venue law viii be
repealed. 1t is one of the most
obnoxious laws on the statute
books of this Territory and its
repeal will save the tax payers Of
the Territory thousands of d ollars
annually. Besides that, it will
make the punishment of crime
more certain.

STRIKE WHILE the IRON rs nor.

STRIKE WHILE THE IRON rs HOT.
The silver convention at El Paso
will open next Monday and the
National congress will meet on
the same day. The silver conven-
ton, by proper management, can
be made the most important gath
ering in the interest of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver
ever held in this country.
The friends of silver from all parts
of the country will be there and
plans for the advancement Of the
cause of silver will not be lacking.
Resolutions will be passed which
will be printed in the newspapers
all over the country. The publi-
cation Of the resolutions, if they
are good ones, and it is to be pre-
sumed hat they will be, will be of
considerable benefit for the time
being but the effect will be only
temporary. Something more sub
stantial must be done if the dele
gates in the convention expect to
accomplish anything of substantial
benefit to the silver producers of
the country.
A delegation Of able men who
thoroughly understand the silver
question might be selected from
each state and territory represent
ed, and these delegates could go
to Washington and urge the sens-
tors and representatives of their
acquaintance to pass a free coinage
bill. Personal argument is a very
effective mean of accomplishing
desired ends, particularly with
Legislative bodies.
In addition to the arguments
heretofore used on the free silver
side of..the question it can be urged
that the sentiment in favor of free
coinage is growing rapidly as evil
denced by the result Of the late
elections. Leaders in either of
the political parties are quick to
discover the trend of public opin-
ion and are very careful not to run
counter to it. The party which
espouses the cause of silver at the
coming session Of congress will
have the support of the populists
not only in congress but in the
state and congressional elections
which will be held in the next four
years. There is no denying the
fact that the populists hold the
balance Of power as far as elections
in this country are concerned. In
the late campaign they were
against the republicans and the
result was the most disastrous
defeat suffered by any party fol
twenty years. If the republican,
now in congress should pass a free
coinage bill and it should bC
signed by President Harrison the
result would be a union of The
republicans and populists.
The present political situation
is favorable for the passage of {
free coinage bill and if the friend.
of free coinage manage the cam
paign for free silver CAREFUL,
there is no doubt but that a FREE
coinage bill will pass.
Now is the time TO go worl
while the result of the election il
the west is fresh in mind and tn,
result will be satisfactory.

ALBUQUERQUE would be a good
place for the new capitol of New
Mexico. The Santa Fe ring was
badly cracked at the last election
and it can be broken into frag-
ments by taking the capitol away
from Santa Fe.

PEOPLE who have been sum-
moned to testify in cases which
have been taken to other counties
for trial under the change of ven
ne law and have lost both time
and money on this account will
mourn very little over the repeal
of the law. 1t will have to go this

The incoming board of county
commissioners of this County find
a depleted treasury with the inter
est on the bonded indebtedness
thousands Of dollars in arrears.
The outlook is not a very promis-
ing m although the new board
may be relied on to manage county
affairs as economically as possible.
The interest payments will have
TO be met and it isnot at all improb-
able that the tax rate viii be
higher next year than it was this
year.

The silver convention at Ell Paso
next week will undoubtedly result
in more good for the cause of
silver than the international con-
ference now in session in Brussels.
AS long as this country depends
on the action of Europe for a solu-
ton of the silver question it will
remain unsolved.

cry respectful


IT COSTS ten per cent. of the
entire tax levy of this County to
assess and collect the taxes. Ten
thousand dollars annually is a
pretty high price to pay for asses
sing and collecting taxes which
amount to 100000. Half the
Gum paid is a good remuneration
for the services performed. The
tax payers of the County would
raise no serious objection to a
saving of $1,000 annually in this
way. The only objection which
would be raised to a reduction in
the rate paid would come from the
sheriffs and assessors of the various
counties IN the Territory, that is
to say that there would be- about
"a persons in the Territory who
would object to a reduction while
there are more than 10000 tax
payers who would favor it. The
duty of our Legislators is plain.

SECRETARY FOSTER thinks that
under certain circumstances 2 per
cent. bonds could be foated by
this government and it is not at
all unlikely that a new issue of
bonds will have to be float ed in
order to pay the enormous amounts
appropriated annually for pen
sions. The appropriation for this
year was about $3.50, 100000 and
there will be a deficiency Of a
number of millions at the end Of
the year. About 5000, 0OO, 900 will
be required next year for pensions
as there have been large additions
to the pension rolls since the esti-
mates for this year were made.
More than half this amount will
be paid out on fraudulent claims
or to men who have ample means
to support themselves without aid
from the government. The great
majority Of the thinkers in this
country are getting completely
Disguised with the present pension
laws and a reaction will come
which will reduce the pension
payments to something near what
they ought to be. This will not
come this year or next and can
hardly be in time TO save the
country from another increase in
its bonded indebtedness.
