SHANNON FOR COLLECTOR.

Charles NJ. Shannon was ap-
pointed by the President last week
to the Office of collector Of internal
revenue for the district Of New
Mexico and Arizona. The APP
pointment gives entire satisfaction
in this part of New Mexico and it
is certainly satisfactory to the
democrats in Arizona, for they
united in recommending the ap-
pointment Of Shannon. Although
there we're a number Of candidates
in the race, there was only one
besides Shannon who stood any
chance of getting the appointment
and that was Bernard Seligman,
of Santa Fe, who had the support
Of the democrats in that part of
the Territory.
Before he removed to Arizona
Shannon was a resident Of this
County for a number Of years. He
was, for a time, the editor and pro-
prietor of the SOUTHWEST SENTI-
MEL and always took great interest
in politics. Last fall he was el5ct-
ed TO the Arizona legislature aud
made a good record. Before the
close Of the session he came out
as a candidate for the Office Of col
lector for the district Of New Mex
leo and Arizona and secured the
endorsement OF all the prominent
democrats Of Arizona and a large
number from this Territory. His
long residence in New Mexico en-
abled him TO secure the en-
dorsement OF the democrats in
the southern part of the Terri
tory as against a resident Of this
Territory. He viii make an ex-
cellent officer.

THE TARIFF on WOOL.

Sheep last year in Great Brit
ain sold for half what was consid-
cred a fair average a few years
ago, and wool prices have been
even worse. This falling off in
prices is due largely to the great
development of the sheep industry
in Australasia, from which region
immense quantities of mutton and
wool are exported to England
Denver Field and Farm.
The truth is beginning to come
out at last. A year ago the New
Mexican pointed out the very facts
quoted above and earnestly begged
of our wool growers to ward off
the coming disaster by sending to
congress a man who was and is op-
posed to removing the protection
which has kept out cheap foreign
wools. But instead of needing
the advice so honestly and gratu-
itously given they listened to the
himsy arguments OF democratic
orators and by so doing have be-
come much wiser but vastly poor
er men. New Mexican.
The above is highly amusing
and would be very important if
the democrats had removed the
tariff on wool which Mckinley
placed on it. The fact is that the
tariff on wool has not been changed
in the least and if the low price of
wool is caused by the tariff it is
caused by the high protective tar
if which the Ohio statesman pre-
scribed as a remedy for low prices.
His remedy has failed to have the
desired effect and another should
be prescribed as soon as possible.
The republicans and not the dem
ocrats are responsible for the low
price of wool and the New Mexi-
can, in order to maintain its repu-
tation for telling the truth, ought
to correct its statement without
delay.

The epidemic of bank failures
has struck California. Four banks
closed their doors in Los Angeles
one day last week and other Cali
fornia towns made startling rec
ords in bank failures. Balances
were withdrawn from the New
York banks by telegraph and this
enabled some of the California
banks to tide over the crisis.

THE sILYER cONTRNrION.

THE SILVER CONVENTION.
Next Tuesday one Of the most
important conventions ever assem-
bled in the southwest win meet
in this city. It will be q conven-
ton at which the miners and min
ing men Of the silver producing
states and territories will meet and
express their views on the most
important question which is now
before the people Of this country.
Upon its decision depends, to a
very large extent, the future pros
! perity and welfare of a very con-
siderable portion Of the territory
of the whole country. The situa-
tion is serious and demands the
most serious consideration. The
turning point has been reached.
If silver is to continue to be a
commodity to be speculated in 10y
the brokers in the money centers,
the silver miners in New Mexico
and the other silver producing
states and territories might as well
seek some other occupation first
as last for they cannot continue to
produce silver under the existing
conditions. Already the most Of
the silver mines in this Territory
have been closed down because
they could not be made to pay.
Some are being worked at little
or no profit in the hope that there
will be an improvement in the sit
uation. Silver men are well aware
of the condition of affairs and have
resolved to make an effort to do
something toward bringing about
a different state of, things in order
to preserve one of the great indus
tries Of the country.
II is the duty of every man in
the southwest who is interested
in this great question to assist in
making the silver convention here
a most pronounced success. If the
silver men of the silver producing
sections of the country do nothing
for themselves they may rest as
sured that the gold bugs Of the
east will do nothing to ameliorate
their condition. The victory can
not be won without effort and the
hosts which go into the fight must
go in with a determination to win
at all hazards.
A rousing convention here next
week will help the cause amazing
ly just now when there are so
many who are undecided which
side of the fight to take up, but
if the friends of silver are apa-
thetic and show their lack of ln-
terest in the matter by leaving the
leaders in this movement To do all
the work, the convention will re-
suit in little good.
1t will be gratifying to the sill
yer miners to know that the con-
vention promises to be by far the
most enthusiastic of all the silver
conventions. 1t will be held in
the center Of one of the richest
mining districts in the southwest
and there is hardly camp within
200 miles which will not send a
delegation. Prominent speakers
will be here and the proceedings
of the convention will be heralded
all over the country. The eyes of
the silver men of the country are
upon us and they expect that the
advocates of the cause here will
do their duty.

NoNE of the enemies Of silver
have yet reached that point where
they refuse to take silver dollars.
Even the most rabid of the anti
silver newspapers will take silver
dollars for subscriptions and they
don't throw them away when they
get them either.

Los LUNAs has a democratic
postmaster and he is the only dem
ocratic official in Valencia county.
There is one advantage in being a
democrat in Valencia county, and
that is that there is no room for
party dissension, but on the other
hand, democrats up there must
feel mighty lonesome.

THERE has been very little said
about selling the silver in the
treasury at auction for several
days. This proposed sale of silver
was one Of the most idiotic sug-
gestions ever made by the advo-
Gates of monometaIlism. 1t would
be more business-like to coin the
bullion into silver dollars and put
them into circulation.

NOT A CASE OF CRUELTY.
Mr.. Multowney Explains Why II Wa. Nclle
Pressed in the Police Court.

W
Pressed in the Police Court.
During the early part OF last month SAM
uel Wilson. agent for the Humane Society.
through the president. Mr.. A :. Pratt. called
the Commissioner attention TO the case OF
alleged cruelty perpetrste1 on one of the pu-
pills Of the weightmsn School by the principal.
John II. Down. 1t was alleged in the letter
that Charles Ford was unnecessarily whipped
and an investigation showed numerous bruises
on the head and arms. some Of them measur-
ing six inches. Mr.. Down was arrested and when
the matter came before the Police Court the case
Was nolle pressed. The Commissioners seut
the letter to the board Of trustees and It was in
turn referred to Supervisor Principal jan
ney for full examination and report.
Mr.. Janney in reporting upon the case
to the Commissioners sayr that the boy has
been a source Of trouble to the teachers for a
long time and that corporal punishment was
DULY resorted TO after every other means failed.
and he believed that there was no cruelty either
in intent or fact. The Commissioners,
however, were anxious TO know Why the
case was nolle pressed and called on Assistant
United States Attorney Alexander Il. Mullowney
for a statement OF the facts. This was for
warded recently and is as follows:
This is to certify that 9 nolle pros. was en-
tered in the case OF the United States against
Do"a occauso upon luNestlgAtlOu OF Tue
facts the intent 20 iniure or Of
malice could not be inferred. Mr.. Wilson
was present when talked to the boy and de-
Tended and approved my cause. and how and
why be should write such a letter ] cannot
imagine. unless some who is msIicio1sly
inclined has prompted him 10 do so. He knew
nothing Of the facts except from hearsay.
Il do not consider il TO be NV duty TO take
every case into court simply TO gratifv the PER
soral spite o. person or of an oficer. In
the above school teacher was
charged with assault upon a pupil. and
in nv opinion such cases should be closely
investigated and a case made out beyond .
doubt before bringing 10 the attention of a
public court. One of my purposes N nolle
pressing the case was TO prevent the court
from being used a creature TO foster
INSTRUMENTATION among the other pupils and tC
crafty personal spite and revenge. Iexsminec
marks on the boy referred 10 by Nv. Wilson i,
his letter in Wilson's presence and could infer
from it 70 evidence of cruelty"

sui general to Paris, is well known throughout
the west as the editor Of the Indianapolis Sem
tineL For a number of years he was
editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel and be-
came editorial writer on the Chicago Times
in 1885. About five years ago he went to
indianapolis to assume the editorial direction
OF the Sentinel. He has been one of the leading
spirits Of the Cleveland faction in Indiana
and it was through his efforts and those of
Mr.. Shanklin that the delegation was turned
from Gray to Cleveland at the Chicago con-
vention. Mr.. Morss has been suffering from
nervous prostration for some weeks past, and
is now at Asheville, N. C.
oNR-LEGGED VETERAN.
Allan b Morse Of Michigan, who is nomi-
mated as consul at Glasgow, is . well-known
figure in western politics. He was a major in
the United States army during the war and lost
a leg at Mission Ridge. After the war he was
an active republican and was made prosecuting
attorney in his native county Of Ionia- In 1872
he became . Greeley man, and in 1874 was the
democratic candidate for state treasurer. In
1885 he was elected chief justice of the supreme
court Of the state by $1,000 majority over
Judge Cooley. He was presented as
Michigans candidate for Vice President at the
Chicago convention and received the third
largest vote for that nomination. He received
the democratic nomination for governor OF
Michigan last fall, and, though defeated, ran
10 900 votes ahead Of his ticket.

during and since the last campaign He ID
about ferty years Of age and has figured for
years pest in New York journalism. He
was . ready contributor to democratic itera-
ture d the last campaign. and among other
things wrote the campaign life Of Cleveland.
Before President Cleveland was inau gurated
Mr.. Parker's name was frequently mentioned
in connection with the private secretaryship,
which was probably caused by the fact that he
assisted Mr.. Cleveland in his correspondence 1t
Lakewood.
