New Mexico Democracy Mfsrepre
,,.... eouted.

The action of the proxy session of the
territorial central committee, held in this
city on Monday, in approving the action
of the triumvirate in the matter of en-
dorsing applications for official positions,
places the committee In very compro-
missing attitude toward the president,
from which the ma jority of the committee
who we're not present, and especially those
who wired their proxies in order to make
a quorum possible, should hasten to res.
cue it. It's action is tantamount to en-.
dorsing the open letter of Felix Martinez
in which he grossly insults Mr.. Cleveland
and condemns him for appointing E. l.
Hall as United States marshal and w. H
Cosgrove as receiver of the United States
land Office at Roswell. The triumvirate
endorsed Mr.. Martinez for United States
marshal, knowing his hostility toward
the president as set forth IN his letter in
relation to the marshalship. Their &C
ton was direct personal insult
to the president, and the committee is or
record as endorsing it. A gentleman
who had been appointed and confirmed
upon the recommendation of the trium
virate was removed at the demand of tht
Democrats of the Roswell land district
and Mr.. Cosgrove appointed in his stead
Yet the committee approved the actor
OF tho triumvirate and condemned that Of
the president in this matter. The Demo
crat has no hesitation in snying that the,
have grossly misrepresented the Demo
cratic party of the territory. The fact il
that the meeting itself was but slimly at
tended. But four counties we're represent
ed in person, although notice was servet
on the members-not through the publi'

Already, at the age of 30, the young

Three young ministers dressed in outing

minister's
Per CONTRA is this anecdote of the dis
tinguished DR.. Gunsaulus of Chicago. On
one occasion he was travelling on a pass
westward through New Mexico and Ari-
zona. In these outings he was accus-
toned to dress comfortably in loose fan
mel garments, and TO wear bright red
necktie and soft, road-brimmed hat.
On presenting his pass to the conductor,
that official read it, turned his challenging
eve upon its reverend possessor, and
after moments critical inspection, en-
GAINED: mo, you don't! Pll take up
this pass, and you've got to pay your
fare!'
What does that mean ?" asked Mr..
Gunsaulus.
at MEANS" replied the conductor, with
an oath, THAT you're no preacher, and
this pass don't 60"
But l am the man named on that pass, !"
said Mr.. Gunsaulus.
You'll have to prove it, then; and in
the mean time you'll pay your fare and
I'll keep the pass" was the CONDUCTOR s
ultamatum, and there being no one on the
train who could identify the passenger,
the reverend gentleman did pay his fare,
which was, OF course, afterward returned
TO him.
This is contributed merely as a good
and not for the purpose of disputing the
general doctrine OF it. r.

ANXIOUS TO WEAR STARS.
Pulling and Hauling for Places on the
Police Force.
An Unprecedented Number of Appli-
cants-A Trying Week on the
Commissioners.

There are close upon one hundred
aspirants for the honor of wearing stars
and serving the city as policemen.
There are just sixteen positions of the
kind to be filled, and it looks very much
as if somebody will 'get left'' when the
Police Commissioners ballot on the prop
oSition.
The Commissioners are very reticent
in the matter, but those who think they
have reliable information say that about
six or seven OF the present force will be
retained, the others being new men, with
possibly some who have done police duty
under other administrations.
EX-Chief of Police Timothy Lee, it is
understood, would like the position of
Captain, and has many warm supporters
| for the place, who regard him as one of
the most competent men in the city. His
chief opponent is eS-Otficer Ike Sim
mons, who is thought to have been slated
for the place. Mayor Steinman opposes
Simmons election as Captain, and this
fact cut quite a figure during the recent
campaign. At one time it was thought
that Simmons friends might succeed in
defeating Steinman for Mayor because of
his refusal to pledge himself to vote for
Simmons, although the latter claimed he
was not opposing Steinman.
The chief reason for the present rush
| for police positions is due to the fact that
men who succeed in getting on the force
| at the coming election are expected to
stand good chance for retention under
the new charter. which goes into effect
next January, after which time officers
who have been faithful and efficient will
not be subject to removal for political or
other reasons. This will make the posi-
ton practically permanent during good
behavior.
The present week will be one of
pulls" and it would not be surprising
if the members of the Police Commission
should find it convenient to take to their
beds, or 10 the woods, to escape the i'm
portunities of candidates and their
friends.
If the policemen TO be appointed on the
lst of April are expected to hold their po-
sitions under the new charter, the Com
missioners should make their selections
with unusual care and discretion, as the
public generally look Tor an all-round
improvement in city affairs under the
new order of things, and no department
of the local government is more impor-
tant than the police. Officers should be
selected with view solely to their fitness
and efficiency as policemen, and for no
other consideration. That is what the
law contemplates and what the people ex-

Juror referred to, and said he could not
vote to deprive any man of his life or
liberty on circumstantial evidence.
The Judge explained to the jury the
difference between circumstsntisl and d.
rect evidence, and gave an illustration
showing that tcircumstantial evidence was
sometimes stronger and more conclusive
than direct evidence.
He then sent the jury back for further
deliberation. Before going, the foreman,
at the request ofone Of the jury, asked the
Judge if in case a juryman did not be-
lieye portion of the testimony OF wit
ness he had right TO reject all his testi-
lnony. The Judge answered that, al
though he had right, it did not follow
that 1t was necessary TO do SO.
The jury came in again about O'Clock,
stating that they could not agree, and the
Judge discharged them.

ANOTHER DISAGREEMENT
A Juror Who Would Not Convict
Circumstantial Evidence.

a Juror Who Would Not Convict on
Circumstantfal Evidence.
nThe case of the People VS.. Emil
Martin and Henry Mason was con-
cluded and argued in Judge Catlin's
court on Saturday. Some time
time after the jury had retired word was
sent to the court that they wished to
come into court. When they had taken
their seats Judge Catlin asked them if
they had agreed on verdict. Foreman
Cirimshaw stated that they had not, and
he did not see any chance that they
would do so as one OF the jurors had
stated positively that he never had con-
victed a man on circumstantial evidence,
and never would do so.
The Judge said the juryman did not
understand his duty if that were the case,
as very few convictions for felony could
be had if direct evidence only were per-
missible. Thieves did not generally do
their work IN the presence OF witnesses,
but rather sought secresy.

THE SILVER SITUATION
As Viewed by a wheeling Boy in the Far
West

Charles G. Crago, who is foreman OF
the composing room on a paper at Great
Falls, Mont, In a letter TO his father,
Prof. f. II. Crago, has this to say re-
garding the situation in the West:
Two banks went under last week. Doz-
ems and dozens OF business houses have
made assignments within the week. have
not been working more than half the time,
No one can borrow money on the best OF
securities. The worst Of the panic is evil
IDENTIFY upon US now, at least hope IL will
get no worse All business houses have
refused TO sell anything on credit.
You cannot get a shoe string
without cash. We have been looking for
things to brighten up, but they continue TO
grow darker and darker. Two or three
lively silver camps in this neighborhood
are totally depopulated. Neihart, the most
prominent one, had population q month
ago Of 800 people. Now it contains about
200 all told. It's the same all over Mon
tana About half Of our people depend on
silver. Since that metal has taken such
tumble in price Montana feels IL as much
as Wheeling would IL people would
stop using iron and nails This town was
one OF the last TO feel the effects OF
the blow, because we have copper smelt-
er and few other industries but IL has
come at last. II something is not done in
favor OF silver when Congress meets, be-
fore a month passes our streets will be
crowded with starving people, as is the
case with Denver at present Even now
there are many people in absolute want.
All buildings, Of which quite number
were started in the spring, have stopped
work, throwing hundreds Of men out Of
work. The city, than which two months
ago there was none more thriving in Mon
tana, is now dead. The paper am work
ing on is barely holding up, although /
hope we will pull through. II al depends
on Congress.
There is no telling what is 70 become
Of this Western country. There may be
another war. II the Western people are
driven te il by the East. This Is, ofcourse,
improbable, though not impossible"
