set the officials to figuring. Under
the Bland act of 1878, the total coinage of
silver was $3.50, 936,374. Since July H.
1890, period of little over three years
and two months, the total coinage has
been only $29,917GO6, or $775,673
per month. There are only
58,91700O silver dollars in circu-
lation. 1881 100000 are coined and
stored in the vaults along with 171,000,-
600 ounces of bullion purchased during
the past thirty eight months. Under the
Bland act, at an average rate of $l.05 per
ounce, the government paid $323, 1884 $40. II
for enough silver to coin $3S9,936,374'
1t will therefore be seen that if the Sher-
man act were Internationally repealed,
and silver thereby practically demone-
tized, President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle would have on hand, measured
by the money standard, $6Ol,526,374 In
coin and bullion. This might at any
time be slumped on the market as COM
modify of trade and give the death blow
to the hopes of those who are struggling
for currency sufficient to allow the peo-
pie to struggle out of the grasp of Wall
street brokers.

silver purchase clause as compromise
measure. Mr.. Hall is new member, and
a rather young man, and some wonder
was expressed that he should have been
chosen by the president as confdant
A fellow congressman from the west tells
this interesting story of Halls lntroduc-
ton to the good graces of the president.
When he first came on to Washington he
was seeking the office of United States
marshal for his brother. He was one OF
those who was fortunate enough to secure
a private interview with the president to
urge his brothers claim. His district IS
in the rich farming belt OF country that
extends along the northern border OF
Missouri, and the large majority OF his
constituents are well-to-do farmers.
Cleveland determined that he was just
the man who could give him some very
much desired information.
"Mr. Hail." he said, 81 want you to tell
me candidly and frankly what the farmers
really think of my position on this silver
question"
$40 be perfectly frank, Mr.. President
replied the congressman with some natur-
al embarrassment, "they think you the
tool of Wall street and entirely IN the
hands of the money power"
The sequel was that the brother received
the appointment as United States marshal,
and the congressman seems to have
especially commended himself to Presi-
dent Cleveland by his frankness.

HELPING NEW MEXICO.

The Denver Republican is very friend
ly to this territory and its people and
whenever possible puts in asgood stroke
for New Mexico; it is helping us along
now in the matter of obtaining statehood
for cur territory and, amongst Others,
advances the following, timely and sensi-
BILE argument in our behalf:
"rhe question of the admission of New
Mexico as state will come before the
present congress, and it will be pressed
in way that will compel congress to
take some action. New Mexico has n
right to be admitted. 1t has population
and wealth enough to maintain state
government, and, having this, its people
tan claim the right of self-government
with Justice. 1t is wrong to subject
them to the provincial government of a
territory. 1t is denial Of the rights of
American citizenship. As for the asser-
tipn that statehood should be denied on
the ground that the majority of the peo-
pie nre ignorant of the English language,
it involves the assumption that the prin-
ciples of free government have some
direct relation to and connection with
the English language. AS a matter Of
fact liberty can be taught and learned III
any language. II the people of New
Mexico wish to adhere to the Spanish
Language, they have a right to do So.
They are the people of New Mexico, and
according to the American theory the
people rule"

NEW SUPREME JUDGE.
Something About Mr.. HOrnblower,
Who Has Been Appointed to
the Supreme Bench.

William Butler Hornblower, who has
been appointed associate justice OF the
United States supreme court by President
Cleveland, is q member of one of the
old families of New Jersey. One OF
the great grandfathers was signer of the
Declaration of Independence. His grand
father was tho late Joseph G. Hornblower,
chief justice of the supreme court, OF New
Jersey. The late Justice Bradley, of the
United States supreme court, and Judge
Woodruff, of the United States circuit
court, were his uncles. He is the second
son of the late Rev. William Hornblowor,
d. D., who was for twenty-seven years
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
of Paterson. He was born in Paterson
on May 13, 1851. He began his studies
in the collegiate school in that city and
afterward entered Princeton college. He
graduated from Princeton with'honors in
1871. He pursued his study of law in the
Columbia College Law school and wds
graduated there IN 1875. He was admit
ted to the bar in the. spring of 1875. The
repeal of the bankruptcy law in'lS77 gave
MT. hOEuDloWeL III oPHoAuoHA "ho
gained for him an extensive commercial
practice. For seven years past he has
been counsel for the New York Life In
surence company and has represented
Lawyer Davis, receiver of the firm Of
Grant & Ward, since the famous failure of
1854. He was instrumental in securing a
verdict of $l,4O0000 for the receiver,
which is said to be the largest verdict
ever rendered in the country. He has
argued cases for the Rome, Watertown T.
Ogdensburg railroad in the court of APP
peals and other courts. The only public
office Mr.. Hornbower ever held was rs Il
member of the commission created under
the act of the legislature to propose
amendments to the judiciary article to
the state constitution. To this he was
appointed by Governor Hill in 1880. He
has practice which is said to net him
$4,000 year. He belongs to several
clubs. With the exception of Judge Story,
he is said to be the youngest man ever
appointed o supreme court Justice.
