The silver mines won't close down at Mr.
Cleveland's bidding. Business in the
west will now assume its old time activi-
ty, and capital will flow westward, be-
cause the world has been given substan-
tial proof of the vests power.
The elimination of the bond issue fea-
ture from the compromise bill was the
greatest victory for the west. As mat
ters stand the west has the upper hand
and there will be no issue of government
bonds unless the west consents, and con-
sent will likely be withheld until free
coinage is assured, even if it is year
hence. In the meantime silver pur-
chases will continue at the rate of $780,
900 ounces per month. This means an
assured market for 100000 ounces of
silver. The visable supply is now very
low. To meet the requirements of the
law the silver producers will have to
get down to business with pick and
shovel.

voted to abuse Of Gov. Thornton and Fe-
lix Martinez, with a back-handed fling at
Chief Justice Smith With its usual in
ability to state the facts in any case, the
Democrat speaks of Mr.. Martinez as
"clerk for the chief justice of the supreme
court" Mr.. Martinez will be nothing of
the kind. He will be clerk of the 4th
judicial district, a matter with which the
Democrat, or any other fellow in the I'd
district, has nothing in the world to do;
and in this, as in some other affairs, they
will do we'll to learn to attend to their
own business. The Optic Is not set for
the defense of Felix Martinez, and it
does not care straw whether he is a

know, to our sorrow, that he has been
the chief power in destroying Republi-
can supremacy in San Miguel county;
and we also know that Antonio Joseph

not been for Felix Martinez. But, then,
that may be the reason why Albright and

A GOOD THING,

The report that surveying party is
now in the field setting the stakes of &
railroad into Taos county is gratifying
On the western side of the Rockies are 6
series of valleys SO rich, fertile and beau
tiful that the famous pioneer, Kit Carson
picked out his home in the Taos valley
Broad and irrigable, in the early days
this country furnished grain to the terri
tory and as far south as chihuahua. Be-
sides its agricultural wealth this is oEe
of the richest mining and timber regions
known. The Ute creek and Amizett
mines alone are bonanzas, but add tC
these the Rio and Arroyo Hondo and the
Rio Grande and Rio Colorado placers, the
coal, iron, timber, mica and tin and it is
easily seen that the first road that pene-
trates western Colfax, Taos and Rio
Arriba counties has big thing in sight
1t takes pluck to do it, but it will pay.

MIN0RlTIES.

All this talk about the minority in the
senate opposing the majority is puerile.
The senate, as an organic body, was made
to voice minority sentiments; and its
rules have grown up on that theory. One
year ago all the Democratic press were
acclaiming over the staunch aid the
western senators gave their hopeless
minority to defeat the force bill. Owing
to minority opposition that measure
never came to vote. Why then should
the allies of the west desert and deride
their once welcome friends now that a
day of greater peril is upon the country.
The force bill possibly was dangerous.
The repeal bill absolutely is 80. 1t me-
naces the labor, the living, the pros
perity and posterity of every man in
this broad land who owes mortgage
debt. By the incident appreciation of
securities of about so per cent, it means
that man who has contracted to pay
money equal to 100 days labor shall pay
$50. What was fair in 1891 is fair now,
and the people will not forget why the
customs of 100 years were revolution
lied. ...

THE SILVER SITUATION,


The mono-metalists have massed all
their forces for last grand attack. 1t is
dangerous because it is directed against
the flank of the gallant phalanx that has
withstood the long battle. The plan Of
compromise on a repeal of the Sherman
purchase act at day certain-be it a
year and one-half distant-coupled with
the contraction of the currency incident
to the retirement of all treasury notes
below $40, can not be palliated by sec.
ond mandate to coin the seignorage and
purchase monthly 100000 ounces OF
silver. This makes the confusion of the
Sherman act worse COMPOUNDED. On this
plan, however, closure has been asked by
Mr.. Voorhees,. The onimous quietude
that reigns in the silver camp indicates
the grim silence of men, with girded loins,
ready to fight to the end. The same sub
tie fraud, the same chicanery, the same
deadly purpose to contract the currency
and appreciate securities, are apparent
now as when the Sherman act was trickily
placed on the statute books to be evaded
by executive officers. Possibly, however,
the fight is only beginning in earnest
The bond issue that is asked in conneo.
tion with the compromise must lose il
the southern vote. The future is dark
The only certainty is that Mondays SEES
sion will witness Titanic struggle in the
senate. Whether it be short or long can
not be predicted; but it is as possible for
the avowed friends of silver to stave of
closure as it was for them to defeat un.
conditional repeal.

FROM DIFFERENT STANOP0INTs.

The tone of the press advocating the
gold standard is that congress was called
together to repeal the silver purchase
law and then adjourn. The west in ita
crude and unsophisticated way holds to
the idea that congress was called together
to "legislate." Repeal is not legislation
The condition of the country was critical
in 1890, now it is ruinous. What is want.
ed is law remedying the conditions Of
1890, and not throwing the country back
to that date aggravated, by the chicanery
and malice of Wall street.

In o Hurry to Marry.

subsequently, that she was an Armenian
girl. Apparently the girl was not more
than 16 years old. Her face wore signs of
worriment.
What, get married immediately" ask

Eyes, right away" said the girl impnl-
sively.

gone daft, but she soon informed him tbs
reason for her action On the following
day was her seventeenth birthday. By the
strict Armenian custom, which her parents
followed, any girl who is not married be-
fore she is II is considered to he ''old maid

How Tom Reed Became a Lawyer.

This is how Tom Reed became a lawyer:
He gave up school teaching, and thinking
that a young man would have better
chance out west he went to California.
Judge Wallace, afterward chief justice of
California, examined Reed for admission to
the bar. 1t was in 1868, during the civil
war, when the legal tender act was much
discussed in California, that Wallace,
whose Office adjoined the one where Reed
was studying, happened in one day and
said: "Mr. Reed, understand that you
want to be admitted to the bar Have you
studied law?"
Eyes. sir. studied law in Maine while
teaching"
WELL" said Wallace, 81 have one ques-
tion to ask. Is the legal tender act consti-
tutional?"
YES" said Reed
''You shall be admitted to the bar" said
Wallace.

legal aspirations, was asked the same ques-
tion, and he said mo-

who can answer offhand question like
that ought to practice law in this country"

Board Swimmers of the Sandwich Islande
One Of the most venturesoine sports
practiced by any people is the surf
board swimming Of the Sandwich is
lands.
Nearly every one has experienced the
delights of surf bathing, with its exhil-
arating rush and battle with the tonic
waves. This pleasure is keenly enjoyed
by the Hawaiians, who pursue it with
singular abandon
The surf board is plank of light
wood 10 to IA feet long, with one end
rounded. The edges are also rounded,
but the other end of the board is left
square. A piece Of cloth is usually
bound around this end, perhDos for the
support of the foot while swimming, or
| rather being projected like cannon ball
| by the wave.
A crowd Of natives will swim out,
towing their boards, diving under ind
lodging the heavy rollers coming in,
until they are quite distance from
land. Every third wave is larger than
the others, and on the broad back Of this
! huge breaker the natives ride in like the
wind. Sometimes they stand erect on
the boards, but they usually crouch or
lie down. and keep balance with dex-
ferrous stroke Of the foot or hand or by
swaying the body. This sport is not
without mishap, but the natives are such
"water dogs" that the accidents rarely
terminate fatally.
Captain Cook says that he saw with
horror one of these surf boards dashed
into pieces but al instant after man
had quilted it. To be compelled to
leave the board and dive back under the
wave is considered very disgraceful, and
besides the oiled, polished and highly
valued board, which has required whole
tree trunk for its manufacture, is lost
