CLEVELAND has entered on his
second month of administering
the affairs of government and is
showing decided symptoms of be-
coming a convert to the free coin
age idea. He is beginning to see
that the free coinage of silver will
not merely affect the silver miners
but that it will also be felt by all
Glasses of producers in the coun-
try. The only ones who do not
want free coinage are the money
lenders. 1t is only natural for
them to desire to loan a dollar
worth a hundred cents and get
paid with dollars that are worth
fifty per cent. more, measured by
any other standard than the gold
standard. Cleveland is beginning
to see the other side of the ques-
ton. He sees that it is no fairer
for the farmer to have to sell 1900
bushels of wheat to repay a loan
which would have purchased but
1000 bushels at the time it was
made than it is to pay a loan in a
deprecated currency. The only
way out of the difficulty is to raise
the price of silver by passing a
free coinage law. The value of
the product Of the silver mines
will thus be enhanced but, at the
same time, the value Of all the pro-
ducts will be enhanced. This
would be bad policy if we were
importing more farm products
than we were exporting but the
balance is the other way. We
may as well make the purchasers
of our wheat pay S1.25 a bushel for
it as to pay So cents and all other
products in proportion. The Pres
ident is beginning to see this side
of the question and the friends of
free silver need have no fears of
the outcome.

PAIL AND THE LABOR UNIONS.
Since the appointment Of A. b.
Fall to be judg Of this judicial
district the labor unions have been
diligently endeovoring to prevent
his confirmation by the senate.
Because Of his opposition to a
bill which was introduced into the
last Legislature at the request Of
a committee Of railroad men he
has the enmity of all the labor
unions in New Mexico, and no
sooner had he applied for the po-
sition Of United States district
attorney than the labor unions be-
gan circulating petitions asking
the President not to consider his
application. The labor leaders
did all they could TO prevent his
appointment and he was not APP
pointed to that position, not on ac-
count of the petitions which had
been sent to the President, but be-
cause of a compromise which re-
suited in his appointment as Judge
of this judicial district.
As soon as he was appointed
judge the labor leaders commenc-
ed a fight on him in the senate
and the cooperation of the labor
unions all over the country was
sought. This is the first time that
such a fight has been made in the
United States senate and it is diff
fcult to say how far the Elabor
unions will go in attempting to
dictate appointments to the Presi-
dent and instructing the senate
whom not to confirm. Labor
unions r proper enough in their
places but there is a limit beyond
which they will not be allowed to
go in this country and that limit
has been reached.

SALARIES WILL BE REnuoEn.

There Will be a reduction in the
salaries of the teachers in the pub
lie schools of this city this year,
whether the board of education
desires it or not. For the first
time in the history of Silver City
the special tax was defeated at the
election last week. This will
cause a considerable falling off in
the revenue of the district. Be-
sides this there will not be so
many saloon licenses taken out
this year as there have been in
former years and each Of these
licenses makes a big hole in the
school revenue.
1t is more than probable that
the revenue from all sources for
this school district this year will
be at least $1,000 less than it was
last year.
This will ~necessitate either a
reduction of salaries or a shorter
school year and it is not to be sup
posed that the board of education
will materially shorten the school
year.
The election of last Tuesday
~conclusively proved two things:
that the people of Silver City are
satisfied with the teachers now
employed and that they are in favor
of reducing the salaries of the
teachers to a reasonable figure.
If times were good and the tax
payers of this city were making
money, there would be II o desire
to cut down the wages of the
teachers, but when laborers and
clerks are either out of employ
ment or are obliged to work for
reduced salaries there ought to be
no objection to the reduction of
teachers salaries when they are
paid much higher wages than the
best clerks and bookkeepers in the
city.

REPRESENTATIVE BLoUNT was
received at Honolulu in a manner
BETTING his mission. There is
hardly a doubt but that he will
recommend the annexation of the
islands upon his return to this
country and hat before the adj
journment of the next session of
congress the islands will be a part
of the United States. They are
the key to the north Pacific and it
would be bad policy for this gov
eminent not to annex them. The
carrying trade on the Pacific is
increasing rapidly and the Ha-
waiian islands are a very conven-
lent half way station between the
Pacific ports.

It viii be remembered that at
the last session Of the Legislature
a bill was passed in relation to the
election of school officers IN towns
not laid off in wards. The bill
was duly signed by the Governor
and it is printed in full on the 4th
page of this issue at the top of the
first column.
This law provides, among other
things. that members Of the board
of education shall have been resi-
dents of the district for which they
have been elected at least two
years next preceding the election.
A residence of two years at some
time in the district is not sufficient
to comply with the provisions Of
the law. The two years must be
next preceding the election.
DIR. G.. N. Wood has not been a
resident Of this school district for
the two years next preceding the
election of last Tuesday and is,
therefore, not qualified to serve as
a member of the board of educa-
ton under the new law. As there
were but two candidates for mem
bers of the board of education for
the term of two years and it
appears as if one of them
can not qualify under the
law, it seems that the other candi-
date must be declared as the duly
elected member of the board.
At the time the nominations
were made at Morrill, Hall it is
hardly probable that any one
thought that any different qualih-
cations we're required under this
law than under the old one and it
seems that no one took the trouble
to look into the matter of qualif-
cation until after the election.

II turns out that the news Of
the appointment Of Capt Eads NJ
Governor Of this Territory, al.
though it was sent out by the AS.
ISOLATED Press, was without fouu.
dation. Joseph had recommended
Eads to the President and the
news was t~elegraphed to hundreds
Of papers that he had been ap.
pointed. This might have been a
ruse got up by his enemies 50 that
it would appear appropriate to
demonstrate against his confrma-
ton on the ground that he was a
nonresident. Had it not been
for the messages which were sent
to Washington it is not at all i'm
probable that Eads would have
been appointed Governor.
After all this tempest in a tea

L. Thornton Governor of this Ter
ritory last "Wednesday. Gov.
ThorNton has been a resident of
the Territory for about seventeen
years, during most of which time
he has been a resident of Santa
Fe. He was, for a time, law part
ner of Thomas b. Catron but this
partnership was dissolved and
Thornton became a resident of
Dona Ana county more than a
year ago where he has been en-
gagged in mining with considerable
success. He has large interests
in the Territory and will make a
good Governor.

IT is stated by eminent physi-
clans that it will hardly be posi-
BILE to prevep cholera from COM
ing here this summer. They urge
the adoption of the most vigorous
measures to keep the big cities
clean so that the death rate may
be kept as low as possible. People
here should take the hint and the
city should be kept clean. The
idea that the elevation of this place
Is a protection against cholera is
a mistake, for within the past year
the cholera has ragged in the noun
tain districts on some of the lof-
test mountain ranges in the world.
If cholera gets here this year, and
there does not appear to be a rea-
sonable doubt but that it will, it
will be here by mid-sum mer and
that time is not very far off. Now
is the time to begin to prepare for
it.

but that was when stockmen had
plenty of money. The paper was
then owned by Pierce, Hardy and

lose Mr.. Pierce from their ranks.

The fourth assistant postmaster
general commenced last week by
cutting off the official head of Don:
H. Kedzie, postmaster at Lords
burg, and appointing L. G. Belt in
his place. Don: is a pretty good
sort of fellow but he is on the
wrong side Of the political fence
this year. Republican postmas-
ters in New Mexico might as well
take warning and send in their
designations at once. The postof-
fee at Lordsburg was reported as
strictly Al at the last inspection
ordered by Cheap John Wana-
maker but that did not prevent
Cleveland's energetic fourth assist
ant postmaster general from remov
ing tine incumbent to make room
for a democrat. It is understood
that no postmaster will be removed
unless charges are made against
him but almost any kind of a
charge is sufficient when the in
cumbent is a republican. Demo
Gratis who aspire to be postmasters
in New Mexico ought to get their
applications in without delay.

lieve in allowing republicans to

smaller Offices later. He seems to
understand his business thorough
ly. He has appointed Susan
Adair to take the place of MI.

L.. G. HUGHEs was appointed
governor of Arizona last Wednes-

and has always been a strong sup
porter of Cleveland. At the Chi
cago convention when the ballot

the nomination of Cleveland,
Hughes was doing all in his power
to assist in keeping the Cleveland
forces together and it was largely
owing to his efforts that the first
ballot resulted in the nomination
of Cleveland.
