Economy in public expenditure is
duty that cannot innoccntly be neglected
by those intrusted wlth the control of
money matters from the people for pub
lie uses. IL must be confessed that end
less resources and the familiarity Of our
people with immense wealth and the
growing sentiment among them that the
expenditure of public money should In
some manner be to their interest and per-
sonal advantage, and the manner in which
a large part of our taxes is exacted and
a degenerated sense of official power,
have led to growing extravaganza In
governmental appropriations.
At this time, when a depleted public
treasury confronts us, when so many
Of our people are engaged in hard
struggle for the necessaries of life, and
when enforced economy Is pressing upon
the great mass OF our countrymen, / de-
sire 10 urge with all the carnestness at
my command that congressional legis-
lation be so limited by strict economy
as to exhibit an appreciation Of the con-
dition of the treasury and a sympathy
with the straigktened circumstances Of
our fellow-citizens.
The duty of public economy is also of
immense importance In it's intimate and
necessary relation to the task now In
hand of providing revenues to meet gov
eminent expenditures, and yet reducing
the peoples burden Of federal taxation,

WHAT Is SEIGNIORAGE?
The Cerm as Used and What 1t
Really Means.

When an individual brings to a govern
msnt mint a quantity of one OF the
precious metals to be coined on his pri-
vate account he will receive weight of
coins equal the to weight Of pure metal
brought less the per centage deducted as
compensation to the government for its
services and incidental expenses of coin
age and plus the weight of the alloy. At
the present time the United States gov
eminent makes no charge for coming
gold, and does not receive silver, copper
or nickel for coinage on private account.
Therefore the term seigniorage is not
strictly applicable to any transaction
that takes place in connection with
federal minis.
However, as used in current discussions
of the silver question, the tenn is taken to
mean the nominal profit made by the
government on it's purchases of silver and
the coinage of the same. To illustrate
The present market price of silver is al
most exactly 70 cents an ounce, while lts
"colnage value" is precisely $l29 an
ounce, so that on every ounce OF silver
bought and coined there in an apparent
profit of SO cents.
When it is proposed to coin the seign
forage silver now in the treasury the mean
ing of the proposition is, that all the sill
YER bullion purchased under the act O.
July, 1890, commonly called the Sherman
act, not already coined and over ant
above the amount that would be needed
to furnish standard silver dollars to mattel
each dollar represented by treasury note
issued under that law, shall be coined
into standard dollars.

Our Climate.

The climate of this portion of sunny
New Mexico is undervalued by few citi-
zens who assert that they can not see how
"people can live on climate" 1t is very
true that they can not do so without some
potatoes and hash on the side, but it re-
mains fact that our climate is the grand
est "resource" of which we can boast, and
is attracting and will continue to attract
more people and capital here than our
mineral, agricultural or other material
resources. Corpulent pumpkins and lux
urant hay can be produced in many por-
lions of the Union, and there are mineral
fields elsewhere which fully equal those of
this territory, but when it comes to eli
mate, there is where the Rio Grande val
ley of central New Mexico stands pre-
eminent. For sunshine, congenial and
vtalizing qualities the climate of this
portion can not be equalled anywhere
else in the world. The less salubrious
but widely advertised climate of southern
California has brought about the rapid
development of that country. Denver
with its much lauded climate as favorable
to consumption is peopled largely by
persons thus afflicted, and it is the super.
Tor beauty and healthfulness of our
climate which will be the most potent
factor in the settlement and development
of the future "Sunshins State. "-Albu-
querque Citizen.

Wants a Revision Of the Laws.

The Compiled Laws of News Mexico
need radical revision, a judicious Gull
ing, and an intelligent codification. 1t is
now ten years since the abortion known
as the "Compiled Laws" came from the
hands of the COMMITTEE of three" and
the few efforts of the legislature, since
that time, to correct its incongruities
have not been over successful. The time
has arrived when we can no longer afford
to be the butt of every joker on account
of an unintelligible conglomeration of
sjointed statutes, bound together in
book form. The next Legislature, wheth-
or the statehood bill passes or not, should
make provision for a revision of these
laws, SO that when statehood does come
we may have a code of laws that may be
alike creditable NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE ARIZONA ROW.

The Democratic party Of Arizona is in
a state of great fermentation; the factions
are two in number and are fighting each
other right bitterly. In Phoenix they
have two daily Democratic papers, one
administration, the other anti-adminls-
tration; the Phoenix Republican repre-
sents the Republicans of the territory and
is taking things easy. 1t is claimed by
the knowing ones, that the fight between
the Hughes and the anti-Hughes faction
is likely to make the territory Republican;
should the latter prove to be the case, it
will be very advantageous to the people
of our sister territory.

Grand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern

A Wool Petition.

New Mexicans might follow the example
of the people of San Angelo, Texas, who,
regardless of the fact that they affiliate
with the Democratic party, are opposed
to the abolition of the duty on wool. A
telegram in the Texas papers shows that a
petition is being largely signed which
sets forth the cause of the decline in wool
and prays for relief. The petition is as
follows:
To the Honorable Members Of the SD Con-
gress of the United States:
AS result of the general belief that
wool will be put on the free list its price
has fallen within the last twelve months
from Is cents to 6 cents per pound, and
the value of our sheep from $3.50 to 81
per head. Under the free schedule the
foreign woods of the character competing
with those in this section, could be grown
in the east to-day for 80 cents per secured
pound, allowing 20 per cent for shrink
age. Woods in the same market would be
worth 8 cents per pound increase and de-
Quoting freight, securing and market
charges, will leave the grower net value
of 5 cents per pound, at least cents a
pound below cost of the most economical
producer. 1t is our belief that if wool
be placed upon the free list, there will be
no material advance in values above sub
mitted. Wool growing is the prominent
industry of west Texas, and the continu-
ance of the present range of values for
our main product, which may be fairly
looked for under free wool, will bring ruin
to the sheep industry in Texas, and wide
spread loss and disaster to the mercan-
tile and other industries dependent on its
prosperity.
There are 100000 persons in west Texas
alone directly dependent upon the wool
interests. With free wool 100000 of them
will be obliged to seek a living and oc-
oupation elsewhere.
In view of these facts, we, your petit
TONERS, beg that your honorable body
make no material change in the wool
schedule now in force. 1t is conserva-
lively estimated that fully 200 square miles
of territory is occupied by sheep men in
western Texas, which will be rendered
destitute if wool is not protected, and the
inhabitants thereof made paupers.-Eddy

COLLIN HAS LOST.

No Undue Influence or Ursoundness
Of Mind Is Shown-The VIII
Admitted to Probate.

The testimony was concluded in the Wall
will contest yesterday afternoon aud the
case decided in favor of the respondents,
who represent the executors Of Mrs. Wallis
estate.
The respondents put in some minor proof
tending to establish the soundness OF mind
Of the decedent, and in the afternoon Mr..
Knox, an ex-ofticial reporter, was called TO
report The testimony of Mrs. Buckley, who
had denied having, upon the trial of a case
reported BY Ku0x, said that Mrs. Wall was
an habitually Incorporate woman.
Knox could not remember anything in
connection with the intoxIcation matter,
and his testimony concluded the case on
both sides.
Judge Codey then briefly summed up the
testimony that had been addueed during
the trial.
''The law requires the eontesting party
to establish affirmatvely the allegations
made IN his opposition to the probate
Of the will, and DO not think that This has
been done in this case. In fact all the testi-
mony goes TO show that Mrs. Wall was of
an unusually sound and disposing mind,
and although she is shown to have been
Influenced by Mrs. Buckley there is nothing
tending 10 indicate that this was undue in
