New Jersey had a moral issue some
what similar to that involved in the
candidacy of Judge Maynard. The last
legislature sold itself to band of "sportsn
and passed for their benefit race track
bill which aroused the opposition of the
respectable element of the community.
The result is that the men who sold out
are buried politically, and a strong Dem
oeratic maor;sy in the legislature turned
into an equally stsong Republican
majority. Indecency in politics doesn' t
pay in the long run

The election of Judge Gary in Chicago
ought to be gratifying to all friends OF
law and order. Gary tried the anarchists
whom Gov. Altseld recently pardoned on
the ground that were illegally tried and
convicted. Thus he made Judge Garys
conduct an issue before the people OF
Chicago. The answer the people give is
one of overwhelming approval of Judge
Gary and condemnation of Gov. Altgeld.

WE are pleased to learn from a
late issue of the Albuquerque
Times that work on the railroad
from Durango to Albuquerque is
soon to be commenced. This
news should be hailed with delight
all over the Territory, for it indi-
Gates that the eastern capitalists,
who are backing the enterprise,
are loosening their grip on their
purse-strings and are beginning to
realize the vast benefits to be de-
rived from investments in New
Mexico at this time. The build
ing of this road will also exercise
a benign influence on our own In
dependent railway project as well
as similar enterprises in other
portions of the Territory. New
Mexico needs railroads to de-
velop her wonderful and bound
less resources, and capital is
beginning to "take a tumble" in
this direction. The next two OF
three years will witness an era OF
railroad construction in this land
of traditions that will surpass the
anticipations of the widest en-
thusiast. And, by the way, you
want to keep your "other eye" on
White Oaks.

SOUTH HoMESTAKE.

Work on the South is progressing
very satisfactorily to its owners. The
main shaft, which is being sunk to reach
the large ore body from which the com
pany was cut off by fire in the old work
ings, is now 223 feet deep. In running
an air drift about 80 feet from the sur
face, new ore body was discovered and
to learn the extent OF this another drift,
100 feet below, was driven, but it de-
veloped nothing. A crosscut was then
resorted to in this drift and this week,
only few feet away, the lead was again
disclosed, demonstrating beyond doubt
the existence OF an extensive and valua-
BILE body OF pay ore. The South will
soon again become a producer and on a
larger scale than ever before.

else than development has ever been

have almost reached the $500,000 mark.

mining to very nominal figure. Ex-
ploitation is being pushed with highly
satisfactory results. A new winz seventy
five feet from the main shaft on the $50

of thirty five foet, and the ore being
milled from this new work is probably
the richest ever encountered in the mine

AN AFTERMATH OF NEWS
STEVENS HIT AND THURsTON's
HARD KNOCK.
A scheme to Pension the EN-Queen
Peixoto's Naval Forces Other
Late News.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o.--There
has been a deal of talk in Washing
ton to-day about the statement Of
ex- Minister Stevens, given to the
public this morning in reply to the
report of ex-Minister Blount, who
succeeded him at Honolulu. All
comment, both in political and
diplomatic circles, is to the effect
that Stevens has made most ex-
cellent answer to the assertions
made by Blount i'll his reply to all
the evidence submitted by this
gentleman in reference to the stu
alton on the Islands.
Secretary Gresham was as dumb
as an oyster to-day when the Et-
aminer correspondent called upon
him at the Arlington Hotel. He
absolutely declined to make any
reply whatever to the Stevens
statement. The Examiner cores
pondent also called at the Hawaiian
Legation and found that Minister
Thurston was in New York, and
Secretary Hastings did not feel dis
posed to talk about Stevens re-
joinder.
All gossip tonight where public
men congregate is to the effect that
Stevens reply is most convincing
document, and the opinion is that
it tears in shreds all the evidence
that Blount submitted, and that il
makes a most excellent case against
the policy this administration has
pursued in reference to the resto-
ration of the Queen.
The EDening Star, one Of the
most conservative papers published
in Washington, has this. editorial
comment on Stevens statement to-
night:
IF fair minded Americans ever
had any doubt as to the prejudiced
incapacity of Blount while he was
acting as President Cleveland's
Minister Paramount i'll Hawaii that
doubt will surely be removed by a
careful perusal of the statement by
ex- Minister Stevens. No equitable
mind can ever be misled either by
ca parte testimony gathered by the
Presidents personal agent or by
the hate engendered sophistries OF
Secretary Gresham. There is every
evidence of truthfulness in the ag-
gressive defense to which Stevens
has been compelled by his bitterly
partisan critics and maligners.
Occasionally Stevens deals in
comments of a personal nature, but
for this he has ample precedent and
sufficient cause. He has been mis-
treated as no other representative
of this or any other great Govern
ment ever was. He has been ac-
cused of conspiracy and of willful
deceit, and he has responded to
those grave charges with testimony
that cannot be upset and argument
of an incontrovertible sort.
Stevens very charitably makes
allowance for Blount's ignorance OF
diplomatic matters, but the nation
cannot easily excuse the engage
ment in so delicate matter Of in
competence and prejudice when
judicial ability is plentiful. v

New YORK, November 3o.-The

fishes a letter on Hawaiian affairs
written by Charles Nordhoff. Nord,
hoff was the Heraid's correspond,
ent at Honolulu. The following
passages are from his letter of No,
vember 2Ist:
almost daily meetings were
held at Mr.. Stevens house, in
which the possibilities Of a revolu-
ton with a prospect of annexation
were discussed. Prominent at these
meetings were Chief Justice Judd,
Mr.. Thurston, Mr.. Hartwell,
Charles Carter and others, among
them Captain Wiltse.
"Fully six months before the
revolution Mr.. Stevens asked two
friends of mine, diplomatic officers,
to dinner. They found the only
guests besides themselves were Mr.,
Thurston and Mr.. Hartwell. l
met them the next day and they
to me their disgust at
Mr.. Stevens. After the first course
the annexation question was brought
up, and they saw that they had
been asked to dine in order that
