FROM time to time since the
new survey of the boundary line
between this country and Mexico
was commenced there have been
reports published in the newspa-
pers that the old survey was in
correct and that the boundary line
would be changed very materially
in some places. The survey has
been going on for about a year
and so far there has not been the
slightest change made. The old sur
vey has been found to be absolutely
correct as it was supposed that ii
would be. The old survey was
made by the most eminent engi-
neers of the two governments and
the resurvey which will be COM
pleted in about four months will
set at rest forever any doubt as to
the accuracy of the work.

THRRE is talk Of some Of the
leading democrats in the Territory
buying the New Mexican and
making a democratic newspaper
out Of 1t SO that the democracy
will have a daily poper at the Ter
ritorial capital. It will be remem-
bered that there was talk of
starting a democratic daily at San
ia Fe eight years ago this spring
but it all ended in talk. The pro-
jectors of the enterprise found
that it took money to start a news
paper and when the time came to
put up the cash they failed to do
80. The politics of the New Mex
lean ought to be changed but it is
not probable that the plant can be
bought for a song.

PENSION COMMISSIONER LoCHREN
is making some new rules to gov
ern business before the pension
Office. It is quite apparent that
he intends to put a stop to the
pension frauds which have been
practiced for so long and it may
be that some of the pensioners
now on the pension rolls will be
stricken off. OF course a protest
will go up from the army of pen
sioners but the time has come
when something must be done to
reduce the enormous pension pay
ments, which are being made out
of the treasury and the man who
unearths the pension frauds and
reduces the expense of this de-
partment will earn the gratitude
of a great majority of the people
of this country.

1t is now pretty generally con.
coded that the Sherman law will
have to go early IN the next ses.
sion Of congress. 1t is doing sill.
yer no good and is merely standing
in the way of a free coinage law
Since congress adjourned last
March, the silver men have beer
carrying on a vigorous campaign
and there have been a great many
converts made to the silver side
of the question. The members OF
congress are not slow to see the
drift of sentiment and few IF them
are going to commit political sui
eide by voting against a free silver
bill when it comes up in congress
as it is bound to do at the next
session. Congressman from the
districts in the west and south
know that their constituents are
in favor of the passage of a free
coinage law and few of them are
going to run the risk of being re-
tired at the next congressional
election which will take place not
long after the adjournment of the
next session of congress, and while
the doings of that congress are
still fresh in the minds of the
people.
There is a good majority in the
senate in faver of free coinage and
there is not a shadow Of a doubt
but that a free coinage bill will
pass, in hat branch of congress
with a number of votes to spare.
The east is by no means SO solid
in its opposition to the passage of a
free coinage bill as has been sup
posed. The are few gold bugs in
the east outside the large cities
and the money lenders. In the
rural communities there are more
advocates of the free coinage of
silver thanthe free silver advocates
in the west have ever dreamed of.
It is not at all improbable that if
the free coinage question should
be submitted to a popular vote in
the state of New York that it
would be carried by the silver
party in spite of all the influence
of Wall street and the money lend
ers of the greatest city on the con-
tinent. There is not a farmer in
the state who would not be bene-
fitted by a free coinage law as well
as the silver miners in the west
and most of them are well aware
of the fact. The farmers in that
part of the country r not half SO
thick headed as they might be and
some of them can get hold of an
idea without having it pounded
into their heads with a club. They
are for free coinage now and have
been for free coinage for years.
The members of this congress
know only too well that the nexI
election for members of congress
will decide the silver question il
no free coinage law be passed al
the next session of congress, anC
they are we'll aware of the fact
that a large majority of free coin,
age men would be returned. Just
now there is no more important
question before the country thar
the silver question. The results
of a free coinage bill would be far
reaching and the people of this
country + beginning to realize
how much injury was done by the
act which demonetized silver.

IT is expected that congress will
be called in extra session in Sep
TENDER. The silver and tariff ques-
tions will be taken up as Soon as
possible. 1t is probable that there
will be material reductions in the
tariff and the deficiency in the re-
venue may be supplied by an in
crease in the internal revenue tax
on whisky or an income tax.

The grand jury which was re-
Gently in session at Socorro found
that there was ample money in the
different county funds of that
county to meet all the current ex-
penses of the county for the year.
This shows that there is at least
one county in the Territory which
is in such a good financial condi-
tion that the postponement of the
collection of the taxes from Janu-
airy until July did not effect it.
The grand jury found all the af-
fairs of the county in excellent con-
dition.

AN AUDACIOUS SWINDLER.



Norton, the forger, whose too-cever pen has

is a rogue of many parts. story Ia told OF him
in French paper which proves the sublime au-
dacity with which the man is gifted and his read-
ness to seize opportunities Last year Norton was
at Nice at the time Tamagno. the great tenor, was
playing Othello in Verbs opera Now Norton is
black beard, and In stature is strkngly like
Tamagno when made up in the part of the Moor
1t therefore not strange that people In the
streets seeing Norton go by should say There Is
Tamagnol" forgetting that outside the theatre the
tenor would probably be a very different man.
Norton not slow to profit by their mistake
He entered at upon an expensive course OF
living. He dined at the best restaurants. drove
about the neighborhood went on short trips into
the Mediterranean, and always. when the time
came for payment, said Send the account to the
management OF the Casino (where "Otello" was
being performed). and you will be satisfied" No
one objected; they were proud to have the custom

The rallied Royalsts under NJ. Piou per-
severe in that policy, though the welcome they
have had from the Republicans in possession has
been of the coolest. Ii is remarkable how cold
lgss been the shoulder turned to them, though, II
all Repub lcans had the interest Of the Republic
really at heart, they would welcome recruits.
Their attitude is rather like that of the Demo-
Gratis in Massachusetts in the good days when
that good Puritan State could be relied on
to elect good Wing Governor surely as No
vember came around. 1t was, think. the some
what notorious Mr.. Ben Hallctt who first said
publicly that the Democrats in Massachusetts
wanted achievements. Their political cX-
istence depended on Democratic Presidents ard
on Federal patronage. and there were already
more Democrats than Offices. The desire of oihce
exists in France also. There is probably no ccun-
try in the world in which the patriot politician
turns more naturally to the public crib for
fodder.
There is, moreover--and that is a point on
which something has 10 be said-nO agreement
among Republicans on the meaning of the word
Republic. The Republican patty is divided against
itself quite as bitterly and broadly as against
its nominal opponents. One powerful section OF
it detcsts all Moderates. whether Republican or
Royaist And from quarter has the hand been
held out cordially TO VI. Piou and his comrades.
