DODGING THE ISSUE.

The pledge Of Robert Black to collect
the taxes Of this county for one-half the
amount now being paid did not have the
least effect on the republican oonven-
ton; but the declaration of Andrew b.
Laird that il the law allowed him a dol
lar for performing a certain duty he
would accept it, brought down the
house. That Is the kind Of reform re-
publicans are working for.-SENTNEL-
The Office Of Sheriff is supposed to be
worth anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000.
Now then we want 10 ask the SENTINEL,
IN all candor, il It will support q respon-
sible man, and a good democrat as we'll
for the Office, who will give a bond that
in case Of election he willperiorm all the
duties OF the Office for $500 per year.
and return all fees above that amount
to the county treasures. This would
save the County anywhere from $1,000
TO $4,000 per year. Let ms know in
your next issue whether you will sup

mated In a democratic convention. The

lot. 81 deg. % min, and IL the
only n on the continent that can
compare, as regards situation, with Sill
yer City. We arc, however, FIVE degrees
nearer the equator than Mt. Hamilton,
and in addition to this, the atmosphere
here is 80 absolutely clear that except
for the effect Of refraction there is NO
reason why objects can not be observed
successfully quite close to the horizon.
That is to say, while we have the adj
vantage Of seeing equatorial objects 8 or
10 degrees higher in the shy than they
can be seen at other observatory sta
tons, the purity Of the air here enables
us to SEQ objects satisfactorily from Is to
20 degrees lower in the sky than can be
done elsewhere, thus giving On aotual
visable range Of % degrees 10 30 degrees
greater than can be had anywhere in
the United States, outside Of Mt. Ham,
ilton.
No finer or more solid and steady site
for q h~rst-class observatory can be
imagined than the granite highland in
the eastern part Of the city, and it Is
strange that astronomers have not con-
sidered, as il seems 10 us, the advisable
~ Of stationing an observatory here, and
thus filling the great gap which exists
on this continent between the latitude Of
the Lick observatory and those Of tho
City Of Mexico.

AsTRONOMIOAL OBSERVATIONS.

The ocScultatfon Of Mars by the moon
last Saturday night was observed vigi-
lantly by the astronomers Of Silver City,
and particularly so by the staff OF the
SENTIEEL observatory on Main street,
where careful measurements were made
with the best instruments at command.
At 1898 p. NJ the red planet disappear
cd behind the dark cusp of the moor in
the N. E. quarter, the altitude Of the
lower limb Of the moon at the moment
Of the planets disappearance being 30
deg. O6 min. Al sec. without correction
for ~refraction, sto.( It took about 20
seconds for the planet to disappear en-
tirely after the fret contact. At u
o'clock, exactly, (railroad time) the plan
ct was seen TO emerge FROM the bright
limb Of the moon on the west side; the
altitude OF tho planet at the time Of its
EMERSON being % deg. 80 min. 16.5 Sec,
while that OF the moons lower limb was
% deg. n miu. O7.2 sec, so that Mars
passed almost centrally behind the
m oonie disc. The observed apparent d.
ameter Of the moon was 81 min. 42.5 sec
and that Of Mars about 10 sec.
The class in astronomy at the high
school can now figure out the exact lat
titude and longitude Of Silver City from
the above data, which are all that are
required for the purpose.
But the chief interest to the SENTINEL
staff Of astronomers in the observation
lies In the fact that they demonstrate
oonclusvely that Silver City is the one
spot in the United States whore ABSOLUTELY
perfect astronomical observations a bs
made. We call the attention Of brother

is assured, and he will be one Of

counties of Grant and Dona Ana,
is a man who is earnestly in favor
of abolishing the fee system as il
exists in this Territory at the
present time. He is not in ia
vor of taxing the many to pro-
vide fat offices for the few. He ia
in earnest and will do some good
work at Santa Fe next winter for
the taxpayers of the different coun-
ties in the Territory.
Perry b. Lady, the nominee for
representative from this and Don0

in his desire for the protection
of the taxpayers than Mr.. Hall.
He is thoroughly conversant with

The following remarks on the
bin for the admission Of New
Mexico are taken from Thomas
b. Catron's speech at Las Vegas:
"You eli know that we q have republican
senate. A bill has already passed the
house Of representatives, which has 1ls
democratic majority il has reached the
senate Of the United States. II has
been reported, fayorably reported, favor
ably ] must say, on the urgent labor and
insistence made by myself and by my
friends. That bill now remains before
the senate OF the United States with an
amendment attachedto Il. We have the
same assurance, the absolute assurance,
that IN the month OF December, Of this
year, the bill will be enacted into a law,
90 far as the senate Of the United States
may be able 70 do 20. But they tell you
that " you elect a republican delegate
and send him on 10 Washington, al
though he may pass the act in the SEN
ate, that there are amendments attach
cd to it, and IL will have to go back TO
the democrats; and IL you elect q repub-
lican delegate, these democrats win not
act upon it. Do you believe It? Cen
tlemen, these papers can talk, but there
are some sincere democrats In the United
States; they have committed themselves
to the measures they can not go back.
They hase talked and insisted for the
first time only coming from them, that
New Mexico was prepared for admission,
that New Mexico wal ready TO be a state
and that our people should not longer be
kept out Do you believe they are so
mean, do you believe they are so con-
temptible, do you believe they are 30 ig-
n%orant, or at least so disregsrdful Of
their words, that they will % say we
will bold you back, and not give you
statehood, because you have tried to ex-
ercise the rights which have been con-
ferred upon you, and voted to elect a re-
publican ~delegate?'"
What a purile argument from
such a man as Catronl Would
the democratic house of represent
atiyes be any more contemplate
for refusing to pass the bill for the
admission Of New Mexico as
amended by the senate committee,
if a republican delegate should be
elected, than the senate would be
for refusing to pass bill to which
it is already committed, according
to the statement of Mr.. Catron
himself, if a democratic delegate
should be elected?
The senate has cut down the APP
preparations Of public lands made
in the house bill for the establish
ment and maintenance of public
schools in the proposed state of
New Mexico one half. So far the
democrats have shown q better
disposition toward New Mexico
than the republicans and there
is not the slightest reason for
electing a republican delegate on
account of the statehood ques-
ton.

FIJI MORLn,S PAIR.

AS the time TOR the opening or
the Worlds Fair approaches it be-
comes more and more apparent
that the exhibit of New Mexico
will be a miserable failure. AL
though the Legislature of the Ter
ritory made an appropriation of
$25, 900, and a number of counties
in the Territory have made indie
pendent appropriations, there is no
indication that the entire exhibit
will be worth going ten miles to.
see.
The commissioners and their
committees have done a great deal
of talking about the Worlds Fair,
the newspapers have given them
space to explain their pet ideas
and the railroads have given them
passes to ride over the Territory
while the public paid their ex-
penses at the best hotels. They
have been having a fine time if
the interests of the Territory have
not been advanced as they ought
to be in the matter of getting up
an exhibit for the Fair.
The most interesting exhibit
which could be made by New
Mexico would be an exhibit of its
minerals, and no other area of
equal extent in the world could
produce such a variety of minerals
for exhibition as Grant County.
Five thousand dollars judiciousfy
expended in this county would
get together such q display of min
erals as would, in all probability,
not be equaled by any other coun-
ty in this country, and certainly
not from any territory of equal ex-
tent in the world. This fact is
well known to biologists and it
would be reasonable to conclude
that with such a field before them
the commissioners and their COM
mittees would DO doing something
toward getting a collection OF
Grant County minerals together,
but up to this time not a pound OF
ore has been secured here for the
fair. 1t was announced few weeks
ago hat some glass jars had been
1, purchased for the fruit exhibit.
This was considered a very impor.
tant item and vent the rounds Of
the newspapers. Now comes the
announcement hat the application
for 1000 square feet for the New
Mexico mining exhibit has beer
cut down and hat the allotment
will be less than One-tenth of thai
amount Of space. From present
indications 1000 feet will be more
than viii be occupied.
We are going to have a fruit ex.
hibit If glass jars are all that The
commissioner and committees vii
have to provide. We win exhibit
our apples in competition Will
those Of New York and Michigan
our peaches will be compared Will
those of Delaware; our pears vii
be inspected side by side with thos'
Southwest-sentinel. [volume] (Silver City, N.M.) 1883-189?, 1892-09-06

of California and the products OF
our vineyards will be found under
the same roof with those Of New
Jersey. New Mexico produces fine
fruit in great variety but we excel
in none Of the different kinds of
fruit
With our mineral exhibit it
would be different. Such a collec-
ton co1id be got together as would
defy competition. Such an exhibit
would attract8he attention Of hum
dreds &C thousands Of visitors to
the fair who iwould pass q fruit ex-
hibit by nhnotieed.
There is time yet to collect a
creditable exhibit Of mineral and
this would be the one exhibit of all
that could be made by the Terri
tory which would attract general
attention, If the managers for New
Mexico want to cover themselves
with glory they have the opportu.
nifty. Too much time has already
been spent to no purpose and toe
many air castles have been erected.
Let them go to the winds and
let us get a mineral exhibit togeth-
er for tho fair.

NANCY HANKS trotted a mile at
Independence, Iowa, last week in
.2:054, lowering her own record,
made in Chicago recently, two
seconds. The track at Indepen-
dsnce is a kite shaped track, and
it is questionable, to say the least,
whether she could trot in the same
time on the regulation track, This
does not alter the fact, however,
that the performance is the great

Co1.e Hob. PICKETT, of this
place, has feceiveda letter from
Senator Bate, of Tennessee, in
which he Estates that New Mexico
and Arizona will both be admitted
after the elections are over next
fall. Itappears that a majority
of the senators are already COM
mitted on this question and that
the admission of New Mexico will
not depend on the election of a re-
publican delegate to congress OF
the election of a republican legis-
lature. One of the strongest ar
guments which has been advanced
IN favor of the election of a repub-
