THE SENATE FOR SILVER

The refusal Of the senate to take
up the bill for the repeal Of the
Sherman law in reference 10 the
purchase Of silver last week by n
vote Of AZ to % is a pretty good
indication that there will be no
adverse silver Legislation at this
session Of congress, and It is GER
tain that, if Cleveland calls an
extra session Of the next congress,
there will be a larger majority in
the senate in favor Of silver than
there is now.
Among the new senators who
have been elected there are more
friends Of silver than there arc
among the senators whose terms
will expire on the 3rd of next
month. There is no danger ofthe
repeal of the Sherman law for the
next two years unless a free coin
age law takes it's place.
In view Of the vote in the senate
last week it would seem to be.use-
less to call an extra session of con-
gress for the purpose of repeating
the Sherman law and it is prob
able that if Cleveland had any
such intention he has abandoned
it. 1t is safe to say that there will
be at least q two-thirds majority
in the senate against the repeal of
the law after the 4th Of March.

A PROTEcTORATE ESTABLISHED.

The stars and stripes are float
ing over the government palaces at
Honolulu. On the morning OF
the 1st instant, the United States
minister at Honolulu issued the
following proclamation:
To the Hawaiian People
At the request of the provision
al government of the Hawaiian
islands, l hereby, in the name of
the United States of America, as
sumo protection of the Hawaiian
islands for the protection of life
aud property, and occupation of
public buildings and Hawaiian
soil SO far as may be necessary for
the purpose specified, but not in
terfering with the administration
of public affairs by the provision
al government. This action is ia
ken pending and subject to nego-
tiations at Washington.
(Signed) JOHN L.. STEVENS,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Plenipotentiary of the Unit
ed States Legation, Feb. l, 1898.
Approved and executed by G. G.
Wilt, Captain U. S. N, com
handing the United States
steamer Boston.
The proclamation was read just
before nine o'clock on the morn
ing of the LIST, by Lieut.. Bush, OF
the Boston, and promptly at nine
O'Clock the United States flag was
raised over the government build
ing and saluted by the marines
and the cruiser Boston.
Since'this step has been taken,
it will hardly do for this govern
ment to relinquish the protecto-
rate. The proper thing to do is to
annex the islands and then there
will be an end of the matter.

THE silver convention which
will meet in this city next July
will be a very important one. II
will be held in the most important
mining section in the southwest and
will be attended by a large num-
Der of the silver producers and
friends of silver in the silver pro-
ducing region of this country.
Silver City will do her share in
the matter and it can be depended
upon that the miners will do
theirs.

Four shelters have been closed
down at Leadville, the smelters at
Denver and Pueblo are employ
ing only about half the usual force
of men and there are only l25 men
employed at the Socorro smelter.
The low price Of silver has caused
a general depression of the min
ing interests of the west and if the
price does not advance the pro-
duction Of that metal this year will
be much less than it was last year
when the production was less
than it had been for several years
previous. Mine owners continued
to operate mines for months after
they had ceased to be profitable
in the hope that silver would adj
vance. The cost Of the produc-
ton of silver in fully four-ffths OF
the mines in operation last year
was much more than YVES obtained
for the product. There are a few
mines like the Mollie Gibson in
Colorado which produced silver
for less than so cents an ounce and
the enemies Of silver would like
to put the price of silver down to
the cost of production in these
mines.

IL thenormal school bin passed,
the Territory will be we'll provided
with Territorial educational insti.
tutions. There is now a universe.
~ at Albuquerque, a school Of
mines at Socorro, and an agricult-
ural college at Las Cruces. With
normal schools at Silver City and
Las Vegas there will be n neces-
.sity Tor sending the youth of the
Territory away to be educated.
The practicsbility of establishing
twospcrmal schools at the present
is doubtful. There will hardly be
students enough for one Institution
of this kind in this Territory for
some years to come and it would
be better to Rave one normal
school with a good attendance and
in q healthy condition, than to
have two schools struggling for
existence. The experiment of
holding normal Institutes in the
Territory proved conclusively that
it was a mistake to have more than
one.
The idea of holding an institute
originated with the County super
intendent of this County, but no
sooner had the plan been suggest
ed, than other towns wanted to
have institutes. The result was
that the attendance was small at
all of them.
The same will be true of too
many normal schools. All the
students who would attend a nor
NAL school in New Mexico could
be accommodated in one institu-
ton very easily and until the pop
ulation of New Mexico becomes
sufficient to sustain more than one
school there should be but one.

The attempt to repeal the Sher-
man silver purchase law is being
watched with a great deal Of con-
Germ by fnanciers on the other side
of the Atlantic. The situation in
India is becoming serious and il
is becoming apparent that the
demonstration Of silver there
would result disastrously. The
depreciation in the value Of the
vast amount Of silver there would
be enormous, since it is estimated
that there are about 5000, 600, 00O
rupees, or 100000 900 ounces in
silver in the country. Any con-
siderable depreciation in the value
of this vast amount would result
disastrously and the prospect is
viewed with undisguised alarm by
the leading inanciers there.
1t Is feared that the demoneti-
cation of silver there would be
even farther reaching than the loss
pm the silver now in India and
that India would lose a consider
able part of its trade with other
countries. The threatened condi-
ton of affairs has led the most
eminent 6nancier of India to say
that "a complete international
agreement on the basis of bimet-
allism is the only safe form of
government Intervention with the
Indian currency"
1t Is quite apparent that, at the
next meeting of the Brussels con
ference, there win be a strenuous
effort made on the part Of the fin
anciers both of England and India
to arrive at some international
agreement on this question. Eng
land is not in a position to ignore
the situation in India which is far
more serious than has been sup
posed in this country.

The Legislature has done moth
ing toward a reduction of the fees

it is hardly probable that anything

tai in this Legislature In prevent

Two illegal bills we're allowed
by the board of county commits
sioners at their last session for
printed matter ordered by the
county clerk, one from a Texas
and the other from a St. Louis
firm of printers. The clerk had
no right to order them nor the
board to pay them. 1t is expressly
ordered by the law of 1891 that
the board of county commissioners
shall appoint a county printer,
and that when such appoint
ment is made every county
official shall order all printing
within his control from this
official. The law is positive and
gives no county official any option
in the matter. All official county
printing and publishing must be
given by all county officials to the
county printer. The new commits
sioners say that their attention
had not been called to this law
when they passed these bills;
they are therefore ~excusable. But
the clerk who ordered these bills
and certified to their correctness
knew what the law was and knew
that the bills we're illegal. He
also said that he didn't care what
the law was and that he would
order the official printing of his
Office where he pleased. Now a
county clerk may be a very great
man, but he is neither a law maker
nor should he for the sake of a fat
commission or any other reason
break the law or consider himself
superior to it. The effect of the
present law is to cause to be spent
in the county in which it is col
lected the money needed for that
county's printing, and not to send
it away to some other state where
it can benefit no one of those who
helped pay it. Money is too scarce
here to allow any county official
to break the law and to send away
money which should be kept here.

The Portland Dispatch is really con-
cerned about the silver question, and
as the days fly along without a sign
Of action from either Mr.. Cleveland
or John G. Carlisle. 1t loses itself in
spasmodlc advice to them both as to
what they ought to do, when they
ought to do 1t, and how 1t ought to be
done. While the desire to set these
two stray lambs in the right path Is
very laudable on the part of the Dis
patch, we cannot help thinking that 1t
Is a most prodigal waste Of printers
ink.
Cleveland and Carlisle have discov-
cred that the situation Of the country
Is not so calamltous and desperate as
the gentlemen composing the political
party of which they are members have
been In the habit Of proclaiming. There
was no furry on account Of the change
from one party In power to another,
and the extraordinary circumstances
of the change. But, just as soon as
It was discovered that the president
and secretary of the treasury knew
better than to regard the solemn
pledges Of the Chicago platform, con-
fldence was restored. The conserva-
tive action of the president In not call
Ing congress, and going to work with
the rip saw OF crank reform. gave the
public comfort. OF course the Solemn
pledges are solemn fraud; but
Cleveland and Carlisle do not say so;
they merely prove 1t by their acts
They drop the platform and go to
business. This is sensible.
The national banks have again made
known their value to the country and
to the government, The treasury is all
right. II Cleveland will suppress the
silver fanatics among his party, the re,
public will not suffer. The key to the
position, with all due Difference to the
feelings of the Dispatch, is In kicking
aside the Chicago platform. With this
proviso the treasury is sound and the
country safe.

Here is some poetry illustrating what
we said the other day about the birth
OF st. Patrick. AS II was written by
one OF the most rollicking Irishmen
that ever lived, no native Of the EN-
erald Isle. not even those imitation
Celts who write letters to newspapers,
will take objection to it:
On the Eighth day of March it was,
some people say.
That st. Patrick at midnight, he first
saw the day;
While others declared twas the Ninth
he was born,
For mistakes will occur in a hurry and
shock,
And some blamed the baby and some
blamed the clock
TIL with all their cross-questions sure
no one could know
II the child was too fast or the clock
was too slow.
Now the first faction fight in ovid Ire
land, they say,
Was all on account Of st. Patrick's
birthday;
Some fought for the eighth for the ninth
more would die,
And who wouldn't see right, sure they
blackened his eye!
At last, both the factions so positive
grew,
That each kept birthday, so Pat then
had two,
Till Father Mulcahy, who show'd them
their sins,
Said: mo one could have two birth
days, but twins"
Says he: Boys, don't be fightin' for
eight or for nine,
Don't be always dividin'-but some
times combine;
Combine eight with nine, and
seventeen is the mark,
SO let 1t be his birthday. ."-"Amen,"
says the clerk.
"If he wasn't twins, sure our history
will show
That, at least, he's worth any two
saints that we know!'
Then they all got blind dhrunk-which
complated their bliss,
And we keep up the practice from that
day TO this.
