Policy-PIaying Politicians

BALTIMORE, Jan. 25.-The News says
Baltimore enjoys the unenvisble distinc-
ton of being perhaps the greatest hot
bed of policy-playing in the United
States. 1t has become a part of
the political machinery by which
Baltimore Is governed. The sellers of
lottery policies flourish with practically no
let or hindrance. The chief hackers of the
game, the News says, are men we'll known
in municipa! politics. 1t is asserted that
officials in the police department itself are
concerned in the business. By means of
influence on the vote of the lower classes
welded by the writer's who, in nearly every
instance, are ward heelers and precinct
sub bosses.

THE PINE RIDGE DIFFICULTY.

Secretary Mobiles Decision Regarding
the Controversy Between DIR. East
man and the Indian Agent - The
Agency Physfcian's Removal Deem
ed Necessary.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Secretary Noble
to-day addressed communication to the
commissioner of Indian affairs setting
forth his conclusion In the matter of the
strained relations which have existed be-
tween Captain j. s. Brown. U. S. A, act
ing Indian agent at Pine Ridge, and DR..
Charles A Eastman, a Sioux Indian, the
agency physician, concerning which there
has been wide investigation made by the
interior department. Charges of serious
nature were made by each of the parties
against the other. Mrs. Elaine Goodsle
Eastman, the white wife of DR.. Eastman
has vigorously sustained her husband in
the controversy, and as vigorously de-
nounced Captain Brown, who charged DR..
Eastman with naturalization, refusal to
obey his orders and with attempting to
weaken Captain Browns authority with
the Indians. DR.. E ,stman's charges against
Captain Brown were in substance that be
was tyrannical, overbeariDg and general J
untitled to fill the position he holds, and
in this he has had, to great extent, the
support of Commander Morgan. The sec
retsry's conclusion is that the good of the
| service requires that DIR. Eastman shall bs
suspended from acting as physician a
Pine Ridge agency. and that unless DR.
Eastman can be assigned or appointed tt
another place that he is willing to accep
| within the next fifteen days, b,
must resign or he will be removed
The seoretrry finds no REASONABLE
ground to find fault with the conduct o

Southwest-sentinel. [volume] (Silver City, N.M.) 1883-189?, 1893-09-12

1T appears to be the policy Of
the administration leaders in con-
gress to prevent the consideration
of any other bill relating 10 the
financial situation than the bill
for the repeal Of the Sherman law
until a vote is had O n that bill in
the senate. While the admins
tration leaders are pursuing this
policy the friends of silver are en-
deavoring to put off the vote on
the bin by prolonging the debate
and thus inducing the friends of
repeal TO consent to some compro-
mise. If the vote can be put off
until after the November elections
there may be a decided change in
the attitude Of some Of the mem
bers of congress on this important
question. The silver men will
make it interestingly for some of the
enemies of silver in the elections
in several of the states.

THE panic which Robert G.. In
gersoll some months ago styled a
bankers panic" instead of being
an object lesson to teach the silver
men the fallacy of their position,
is pinching the monometallists of
the east harder than any other
class of people. The New York
bankers have lost many millions
of their deposits, the holders of
stocks and bonds have lost hun
dreds Of millions in the deprecia-
ton of their securities and many
eastern manufacturers have been
obliged to close down their mills
and factories, but they have not
been pinched hard enough yet to
see the fallacy Of their position.
The pinching process will contin-
ne, however, until these financial
physicians change their treatment,
AS soon as they prescribe the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver
the patient will begin to improve.

owns and runs one of the few
Touring mills in the Territory
there. The wheat which he ex-
hibited weighed 66 pounds to the
bushel and the heaviest wheat in
competition weighed but So
pounds to the bushel. Wheat
growers may moralize on the fact
that New Mexico took the first
prize on wheat at tho Worlds
fair and explain, if they can, why
most Of the -four used in the Ter
ritory is brought from Kansas and

The irrigation convention which
has been called to meet at Deming
on the zen of November ought to
be largely attended by the resi-
dents Of Che southwest who are in
t~erested in irrigation.
just at this time the irrigation
problem is of more importance to
the residents Of the southwest than
any other question except the sill
yer question. The future Of this
country depends, to a great de-
gree, upon the successful irriga-
ton Of the tillable land here SO
that the production may become
sufficient to supply the home de-
mand. As long as the production
is less than the consumption
there will be a constant drain of
money from this section as there
always has been.
This question is worthy the
careful consideration of the dele
gates who will be sent to the Dem
ing convention and a great good
will have been done if the object
for which the convention was
called shall ever be accomplish
ed.
Deming, the place selected for
the convention, is easy Of access
from all parts Of the southwest
and the delegates may be sure
that they will be royalty enter
tanned by the citizens of Deming
while they are in that city.
The arrangements for the con-
vention are being looked after by
the citizens of Deming and that is
assurance enough hat there will
be nothing Jeff undone to make
the convention a success in every
particular.

The citizens of Santa Fe are
awakening to the fact that there
is danger that the capitol may be
removed from that city. Santa
Fe has always been the capital of
New Mexico and there are some
reasons why it should remain so,
but there are other and
stronger reasons why some other
and more progressive town, more
centrally located and more easy
of access should become the CAPT
tai. There is only one way for
the citizens Of Santa Fe to defeat
the designs Of other towns and
that is for them to restore the
capitol attheir own expense before
the meeting of the next Legislature.
This being done, no Legislature
would vote to increase the already
large debt of the Territory by the
amount necessary to erect a CAPT
toll building at any other point in
the Territory, but if an appropri-
alton has to be made by the next
Legislature for the erection of a
capitol it will not be located at
Santa Fe and the people of that
town are observing enough to see
the danger ahead.

NEW TnTF COINlqR IDTA

The free coinage men Of Colo
RADIO are trying to devise some plan
to help the miners Of that state II
congress does not do anything for
the white metal. As the states
have no right to coin money, the
following plan will be submitted
to the Legislature in the expect
alton that it will authorize the is
suing Of silver tokens which will
be received for taxes and which
are expected to circulate in the
state. The plan is worthy of seri-
Gus consideration:
The joint committee appointed
to devise a plan for the state to Is
sue certificates on silver bullion to
be used as legal tender will at some
time during the latter part of the
week hold a meeting for the pur-
pose of considering what to do.
One proposition is to have an
extra session of the legislature
called to make the plan legal and
to get the Endorsement of the state
and to secure the selection of the
proper officers and to issue the
certificates and to provide a place
for storing the bullion. In this
connection, it is proposed to try to
make Denver the headquarters for
the storage of the silver bullion of
the west, the state issuing q 81
certificate for each ounce Of silver
stored.
One of the suggestions that the
committee will entertain viii be
the proposition to issue silver SOU
venirs of the size and weight of
silver half and one dollar coins,
which will be stamped one ounce
of silver or one-half ounce Of sill
yer, as the case may be, and these
pieces will be taken in exchange
for provisions, supplies etc, and
may be used in exchange for tax
receipts.
1t is believed hat by the storage
of silver nthe state the market will
be benefited, the price of silver adj
vanced and, as fast as sold by the
state, certificates by numbers
will be called in. AS relates
to the silver souvenirs, it is pro-
posed to have a state mint estab-
lished whore all bullion deposited
for manufacture will be received
and treated free of charge and the
depositor may take his choice
either to take an equivalent in
certificates or call and get his SOU
venirs.
The commodity will be handled
strictly on the free coinage basis.
The plan os outlined is already
indorsed by the members of
the mining exchange selected to
to act upon the committee,

LAST April the banks Of New
York city commenced the plan of
refusing credits to their southern
and western correspondents with
the avowed intention of influence
ing senators and representatives
to vote for the repeal of the Sher-
man law. This refusal to extend
credits was followed by a food of
circulars to all of the banks in the
country and to most of the bust
ness firms asking them to use
their influence to bring about the
repeal of the Sherman law. The
petitions were furnished to all of
the banks in the country and the
officers of these institutions who
we're not in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver would
present one of these petitions to
customers asking for accommoda-
ton. Under the circumstances
few customers felt like refusing,
knowing that a refusal meant that
the accommodation would be re-
fused by the bank officials. In
this way thousands of signatures
were obtained. A majority of the
southern and western banks cir
culated these petitions in accord
ance with the requests of the New
York bankers but when the coun-
try banks began to feel the effects
of the stringency the New York
bankers returned the favor by re-
fusing to pay cash for drafts made
on them by their country CORE
spondents. Now the southern and
western bankers are talking about
Withdrawing all Of their deposits
from the New York banks anC
placing them in Chicago or ST
Louis banks. Such a step is rich
ly merited by the New York banke
and it might teach them a lesson
which they would be slow to for.
get. Much of the business of the
New York banks is done on money
which is kept there on deposit by
banks in the interior and the
withdrawal of it would reduce the
power of New York to control the
finances of the country.
