"A NUVTL pnopOs1TToV'

Ia q personal letter written 10
Hon. J. J. Bell BY Hon. NJ. D.
Hartef, lender Of the anti-silver
faction in congress, we are permit
ted TO make the following extracts
without violating any confidence.
Il think silver a very important
product Of course it is very tri-
fling compared with coal, or iron,
or lumber, or wheat, or corn, or
hay, or eggs, or butter, or hogs,
and it ought to be allowed a free
marketlike them.
But to tax all creation to pay
the proceeds over to the silver
mine owners | can never consent.
Equal rights and no favors to
either producer or consumer of
silver.
1 am willing to open up the
minis to the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver,
without legal tender qualities for
either what is good for the goose
ought to be fair for the gauder.
We will now have over 81, 200, 600
900 of legal tender, or say ten
times RS much as we need, and
therefore future coinage need not
be a legal tender. Here is a fair,
just, intelligent settlement for all
concerned" &c, &c.
Mr.. Harter is probably as bright
a man as there is in congress, and
a very hard worker. His ideas
are unique to say the least.
The probabilities are, If gold
was deprived of its legal tender
qualities, the gold advocates would
then favor the unlimited coinage
of silver. and would ransack every
spot on earth in search of the
white metal.

A MAYOR, two councilmen and
three members of the board Of ed
ucation are TO be elected at the
coming city election. Every citi-
zen Of Silver City is interested in
the selection Of good mon for these
positions and should take part in
the nominating convention and
election. There is a tendency
among voters Of this city to stay
away from the polls and not vote
at the city elections and then fud
fault with the selections made.
Let every voter take part In the
selection OF officers this spring and
then abide the result.

OLEYELANpON THE cuRRENCY.

augural address last Saturday, said
but little on the question of the
currency aud what he did say gives
little light on his position in re-
ference to silver. He is in favor
of sound currency and so are all the
free coinage advocates. He said;
"While every American citizen
must contemplate with the utmost
pride aud enthusiasm the growth
and expansion of our country, the
s%ufficiency of our institutions to
stand against the rudest shocks of
violence, the wonderful thrift and
enterprise of our people, and the
demonstrated superiority of our
free government, it behooves us to
constantly watch for every symp-
tom of insidious infrmity that
threatens our national vigor. The
strong man Who in the confidence
of sturdy health, courts the stern
est activities of life and rejoices in
the hardihood Of contant labor,
may still have lurking near his
vitals the unheeded disease that
dooms him to sudden collapse. It
cannot be doubted that our stu
pendous achievements as a people
and our country's robust strength
have given rise to a heedlessness
of these laws governing our ma
tional health, which we can no
more eyade than human life "a
escape the laws of God and nature.
Manifestly nothing is more vital to
our supremacy as a nation and
to the e1benefcent purposes of
our government than a sound and
stable currency. It's exposure to
degrad alton should at once arouse
to activity the most enlightened
craftsmanship; and the danger of
depreciation in the purchasing
power of wages paid to toll should
furnish the strongest incentive to
prompt and conservative precau-
ton in dealing with our present
embarrassing situation. AS related
to this subject, we will be wise if
we temper our confidence and
faith in our national strength and
resources, with the frank conces-
sion that even these will not per-
NIT us to defy with impunity the
inexorable laws of finance aud
trade. At the same time, in our
efforts to adjust differences of
opinion we should be free from in
tolerance or passion, and our judg-
ments should be unmoved by al
Turing phrases and unvexed by
selfish interests. 1 am confident
that such an approach to the judg-
ment will result in prudent and
effective remedial legislation In the
meantime, so far as the executive
branch of the government can
intervene none of the powers with
which it is invested will be with
held when their exercise is deemed
necessary ITO maintain our nation
al credIt or avert financial dis
aster." ~

II ptvIs,ov

Since the failure Of the Torids
county bill in the Territorial coun.
Gil there seems TO be less disposi.
ton to revive the county division
question than ever before. Since
the FIRST attempt was made to di.
vide Grant County, when a large
amount of money was spent on
both sides, the sentiment in favor
of county division has been stead
lily losing ground. Each succeed
ing attempt to divide the County
has been feebler than the one be-
fore and it is now certain that a
large part of the residents Of the
portion Of the county which would
have formed Florida county, had
the bill passed, are opposed to divi-
sion and it is by no means certain
that a majority of the voters in that
part of the county would vote in
favor of a new county.
Even in Deming, where the
county seat of the new county
would be located, there are many
who are opposed to division on the
ground that the expense of main
tanning two county governments
would be much greater than any
possible benefit which might be
derived. The rate of taxation is
high enough now without impos-
ing further burdens on the taxpay-
ers which would inevitably result
if the county were to be divided.
The feeling against division
which has been growing steadily
in the southern part Of the county
will be strong enough two years
hence to prevent the creation Of a
new county on the lines which
have been proposed. In the south
western part of the county from
to the Mexican line there
would be but few votes cast in
favor of division if an election
were to be held now to determine
the question and it is doubtful
whether any precinct but Deming
within the lines of the proposed
county, would give a majority in
favor of the creation of a new
county.
If the residents OF the southern
part of this County were removed
as far from the county seat as the
of the Mogollon district
are from the county seat of Socor-
70 county, there would be good
reason for the creation of a new
county. Residents of Cooney, for
instance, have to travel about 800
miles to get to their county seat
but there is no part of Grant Coun-
ty which is not within a reasonable
distance Of Silver City. If Il new
county were to be created with ref
erence to the convenience of the
people who are farthest removed
from the county seat, it would be
created in the southwestern part
Of this County with Lordsburg for
the county seat. Such a division
may be made some future time but
for the present even this is imprac-
5icable. The only thing that re-
mains to be done in the county di-
vision matter is to let the PROPOSE
ion rest for a few years.

THE SILVER CONTENTION.

The Ell Paso Times of last
Thursday published the following
in reference to the coming silver
convention:
The people of Silver City are
beginning to make preparations
for the meeting of the silver con-
vention in lat town next summer.
The program will in all probabil-
ity be mapped out by the exccu-
tive committee at its meeting
there tomorrow. AS has been
urged by the Bullion and by this
paper, the discussions in that con-
vention should be in a milder vein
than has heretofore been custom
airy. The silver men must be unit
ed and aggressive; but it does not
follow that they shall be abusive.
Silver legislation must be effected
at the last, through the influence
of the masses of American citizens.
When congress has incontroverti-
bic proof that the majority of the
intelligence of this country is in
favor of the free coinage of silver,
the proper bills will be made into
laws. But it should be remem-
bered that the mass of the great
middle classes in the east-mer-
chants, manufacturers and mechan-
ics-are afraid of what is called
fiat money" and "cheap money"
and they have been educated into
the belief that the silver dollar of
today is in part fiat money"
which may at any time become
cheap money" These people are
purchasable and are thinking peo-
pie. The work of the silver men
Of the west and south is to con-
vince these people. This cannot
be done by abusing them as the
tools of the gold bugs and 'the
dupes of a subsidized press" The
press of the east generally is no
more open to the charge of being
subsidized than the press of the
west. But even if it were it cuts
off all possibility of convincing
when n charges venality on its
opponent.
Let the silver question be kept
well TO the front but let the dis
cussion be on a high plane.

Advantage Of Advertising.

If there ever was a doubt of the
utility of The Sun as an advertising
medium that doubt is now exploded.
Two weeks ago it contained a notice
from J. D. Good, of the gift of a
double baby carriage to the first lady
in the county who would present her
husband with twins, with a threat
that if it was not soon taken he would
offer it to Graceyille where he was
sure it would soon find taker.
Now, while no one doubts the ability
and willingness of the Celtic race in
this line, the sequel proves that the
Teutonic is at least it's equal. The
day after the publication of The Sun
containing said notice, Mrs. Amos
Heuer, of Pepperton, read it, and on
the following day complied with re-
quirements, presenting her husband
with pair of beautiful daughters.
Some of the advantages of this
deal are, it gives Mr.. Good room for
more baby carriages in his Mammoth
warehouse; it increases the school
population of the county; and it
makes the proud father feel as if he
could walk on roses without crush
ing them. The Sun congratulates
all the parties interested, and again
calls attention to the superior advan-
tages of advertising in it's columns.

On returning from SIX weeks visit
to the great Worlds show, and other
great places farther East, we are
struck with the improvements in this
village within that short period. Six
weeks ago heap of ashes lay where
now stands one of the neatest struct-
ures of the kind and the most con-
venient we have ever seen, namely
the Wells Pearce & Co. elevator OF
25,OOO bushel capacity. The bins
and elevator are as complete as clock
work; the driveway is almost level,
and the improved method of unload
ing deserves the thanks of all farm
ers who have wheat sacks to handle
Another improvement is the N. P.
Ry. coming down to "The Norris -
In connection with this improvement
is the removal of the round elevator
onto that track. This means that
that hustler, Stewart, means to make
it lively il the wheat, coal and wood
market, with his direct connections
with Duluth and the big woods.
We also notice several improve
ments On the side walks through the
town. All this does not look like
panicy times, and we begin to think
the panic is behind us, and so mote
| it be.

The midsummer Cosmopolitan, the
first at the now price Of 12a cents per
copy, though unchanged in size, ex-
GELS any other issue of that magazine
in the number of it's contributors, in
the interest of it's contents and in it's
oyerfowing illustrations by famous
artists. Francois Coppee, William
Dean Howells, Camille Flammarion,
Andrew Lang, Frank Dempster Sher-
man, H. H. Boyesen, Charles DeKay
Thomas A Janvier, Colonel Tillman,
Agnes Repplier, and Gilbert Parker
are few of the names which appear
on it's title page. Three Frontispieces,
all by famous artists, furnish an I'M
usual feature, and among the artists
who contribute to the 119 illustrations
adorning it's pages, are Laurens,
Reinhart, Fem, Toussaint, Stevens,
Sauier, Filter, Meaulle and Frazen.
The midsummer number is intended
to set the pace for the magazine at
it's new price of 124 cents copy, or
$1.5O year. The magazine remains
unchanged in size and each issue will
be an advance upon its predecessors.
Literally, every known country is
being ransacked for material in the
hope to bring The Cosmopolitan for
ward as the leading magazine in the

Owing to the extreme financial

employment. Many of these are able
and willing to do farm work. There
are doubtless many farmers who
need help for the remainder of the
season-and others who could
find work all winter for good men,
at low wages. A bureau has been
organized in St. Paul, under the
name of The Public Employment
Bureau" by city officials and citizens,
to find work for as many as possible
of her unemployed workers. Any
farmers needing help, either for the
fall months or for the entire winter,
may readily secure it by addressing
Mayor F. P. Wright, St. Paul, Mimi,

terms.
