TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Star has even excelled
itself in the line of vile indie
eency BY allowing something
which signs itself Justice TO pub
lish a most cowardly and con-
temptible attack on the Queen
Justice whoever. ii is 1--WE are
loath TO believe it tn be a woman
or mani bases this latest un-
called for attack on the Queen
on the lottery business. We
should pay no attention TO the
letter of Justice If it wasn't a
good example of the bigotry and
inconsistency of the gang which
spends its time in deriding at.
aud abusing the Queen. The
Lottery Bill was passed in the
Legislature and became law. 1t
was then presented TO the Queen
for Her signature and she was
advised by Her cabinet to sign
ii. As constitutional sovereign
she had no choice in the matter.
The very mob which has been
bowling at her for opposing the
constitution of 1887 now howls.
because she acted up to the spirit
and fundamental principle under
lying a constitutional govern
ment. The old Psalm-singing
women represented by Justice
were not elected by the people to
represent it in the Legislative as
sembly of the country. The men
lawfully elected exercised their
constitutional rights by passing
any act proposed to them. and
each one was individually res
ponsible for his actions to bis
constituents alone and not to a
lot of ignorant women who did
not and-thank Heavens-do not
exercise a political franchise
here. To grant to number of
outsiders and women at that,
rights which are by orr constitu-
ton vested in the Legislature |
would be an absurdity and an
outrage.

shown in every store and every
street-corner, and over 1900 for

names voluntarily and know

the lottery bill sent to the Legis-
lature were signed by very
large number OF people

by the people were in duty bound

In regard to the accusations of
Justice against the Queen. that
she bribed the members of the
Legislature to vote for the lottery
bill we can simply stamp them
as foul lies. The bribing done
during the last Legislature was
done by leading men of the
reform party. We challenge
Justice and 1T" ilk to produce
one iota of proof to back
its dirty assertion against
Her Majesty, while We
offer to bring forward proofs

Where to StOp in shicamO.

The perplexing question which is every
day asked by people who desire to go to
Chicago to attend the Worlds fair is,
"Where are we going to stay when we get
theref' This is easily answered, and if
you will go to the ticket agent of the
Santa Fe, Mr.. W. NJ. Smith, he will tell
you.
Arrangements have been made for the
distribution by the Santa Fe company of
a pamphlet entitled "Homes for Visitors
to the Worlds Fair" This is reliable
pamphlet rtainlng the rames and adj
dresses of alb 5000 families who will
furnish accommodations to visitors from
May to October 81, 1899. The pamphlet
also contains sectional maps which will
enable the intending visitor to select any
quarter of the city that he would prefer.
Correspondence can then be carried on
and definite arrangements made so that
when visitors arrive in Chicago they can
proceed at once to their quarters.

| longer delay than is necessary under the
circumstances, but perhaps it will lie
soon enough after all. There is no doubt
but that the house of representatives will
pass the bill at an early date by a large
maj ority and it may be expected that the
bill will receive different treatment in the
senate than was received by the last bill
which fell into the hands of an adverse
committee. Then the senate was Repub-
lican and the Republican members Of
that body did not appear to be anxious
to take any action which might reduce
the then Republican majority. Now that
they have lost control of the senate they
may not be so averse to the admission of
the territory.
There Is yet considerable opposition to
statehood among the residents of New
Mexico, but it Is not SO strong as it was
at the time the constitution was voted
down some years ago. The vote on that
instrument has been taken as an express
sion of the people of the territory on the
statehood question, when in reality it
was nothing of the sort. That document
was prepared by Republicans and re-
ceived the almost united opposition of
the Democratic party in the territory in
addition to the Republicans who were OPP
posed to statehood at that time.
There is no doubt but that there is a
majority of the residents of New Mexico
in favor of the admission of the territory
into the Union and who would vote for
statehood if the opportunity were offered.
There ought to be an enthusiastic meet
ing in favor of statehood at Albuquerque
this month in order to show the feeling
of the people of the territory on this
question.-Silver City Sentinel.

THE WASHINGTON POSTS VIEW.

The threat OF many western and south
ern Republicans to break away from
established party lines in case silver is
| not accorded some sort of reasonably fair
treatment by the present congress, has
put bee in the bonnet of some of the
eastern Republicans. The Washington
Post, for instance, sees trouble ahead if
the west undertaken to assert its indie
pendence and its plea for bimetalism in
hopes of avoiding any open rupture is
really interesting. The Post says con-
gress isn't going to stamp the very life
out of silver, and it wants western Repub-
licans to make haste slowly until con-
gress shows just what it will do. This is
the way the Post looks at it. "The repeal
of the Sherman purchasing act, which is
called for by many sections of the coun-
try outside of Wall street, does not neces-
sarily or implicitly or in any way seal the
fate of bimetalism. There is strong BIZ
metallic sentiment in congress and among
the people. Would it not be well for the
Colorado Republicans to wait awhile be-
fore they take final leave Of the grand old
party and shoulder the banner of free
trade? There never was better prospect
for bimetallic coinage. 1t may not come
like sight draft, to be honored at once,
but all the indications point to it's ap-
proach, and it will be none the worse for
Colorado if it comes by international
agreement"

They have done their cause harm by
