IT Is said that Ex-Governor
Ross will soon take the editorial
chair on the Socorro Advertiser.
If the report is true the Advertis-
er is to be congratulated. The
governor is a forcible writer and
a man of varied experience. He
will make the Advertiser one of
the leading newspapers of the

EDMUNDs on SILVER.

The New York Tribune has
printed quite an extended inter
view with ex-senator Edmunds,
of Vermont. on the silver ques-
ton. The Tribune is one of the
strongest anti-silver papers in the
country and Edmunds has never
been thought to be very favorable
to the white metal, but this is
what he said:
"When we passed the Sherman
act we were between the devil and
the deep sea; something had 10 be
done. A crisis was impending.
i voted for the measure, and am
willing to take my share of the re-
sponsibIlity, although l was not
personally in favor of it. A canvass
showed us that il we did not pass
the act, the silver men would pass
a free silver bill. About three
fourths Of the democrats and one
fourth of the republicans would
have voted for a free coinage bill.
l voted for the Sherman law to
prevent a financial crisis, or a free
silver bill. The senator's from New
York, New England, New Jersey
and Maryland voted for the bill
for the same reason. / argued in
the caucuses that the operation of
such an act should be Ilimited TO
five and then 10 ten years, but the
amendment was not accepted.
81 believe now that if we had
let the crash come, the country
today, even with the thermometer
at 80 degrees in the shade, would
have been more comfortable. The
crash would have come and we
should have recovered / think il
would be well 10 go back to the
currency law which existed before
the Bland law. Gold was coined
at the mint free of charge, Silver
was also coined upon the payment
of the seigniorage by the owner Of
the bullion, and if not enough for
the needs of the currency was pre-
aented, the secretary Of the treas
Southwest-sentinel., 1893-06-27

ury was authorized to buy in suf-
iicient quantities. In this way
the demand and supply regulated
itself, and silver was not driven
out Of use. / do not believe in
dispensing with silver"
The plan which is proposed by
the senator would finally result the
same as q free coinage law. Just
as soon as such a law went into
effect, holders Of silver all over the
country would hasten to have their
silver coined into money and
would pay the seigniorage de-
manded by the government Sill
yer bullion would be speedily
withdrawn from the market per-
manently for coinage purposes and
the result would be that the seign-
forage would gradually disappear
and the holders of silver bullion
would be able to get it coined
without the payment of anything
to the government. The result, in
the end, would be the same as
though a free coinage bill had
been passed at first, but it would
be unfair to the holders of bullion
at the time the law was passed.
They would not be able to get
their bullion coined except on the
payment of the seigniorage, while
those who had bullion coined after
the parity of the metals had been
restored would reap a benefit at
the expense of the holders of bull
lion who assisted IN restoring the
ratio to the coinage stardard. OF
course the government would be a
large gamer but that is not one of
the ends to be attained by silver
Legislation.
The silver producers of the
country have become tired of the
makeshifts which are being con-
tinually proposed by the oppo-
nents of silver, but if a free coin
age bill cannot be passed at the
next session of congress, it would
be to the interest Of the silver men
to adopt the suggestion of Senator
Edmunds. The law would result
in the speedy coinage of all the
silver bullion in the country and
that is all that n free coinage law
could bring about although it
would be of more immediate bene-
fit to to the miners.

SENATOR STANFORD, Of Califor-
MIA, died suddenly at his home
last Tuesday night. The senator
had not been in good health for
some months, but his death was
unexpected. He was out driving
on Tuesday and retired about
ten o'clock. At midnight a SER
want found him dead in his bed.
HIS death causes a vacancy in the
Senate of the United States, but
as the governor of California is a
republican, his place will be filed
by a man of the same political
faith until the legislature can elect
his successor.

The provisional government of
the Hawaiian islands seems to be
firmly rooted. The officers Of the
provisional government raised the
national flag over the palace over
three weeks ago and made public
the letter which Queen Liliuoka-
lani intrusted to Paul Neumann
when he came to this country last
winter. The letter is dated Jan.
81, and virtually acknowledges
her REIMBURSEMENT of the sover-
eighty of the islands. Neumann
was to obtain such recognition
from this government as he could
and it is quite evident from the
letter that the queen was ready to
accept a pension such as was pro-
vided in the treaty of annexation
which was prepared during the
latter part of Harrison's admins
tration. That treaty would have
undoubtedly been entirely satis-
factory to Queen Liliuokalani, had
it been ratified by the senate. It
is very doubtful now whether this
government will recognize the ex-
queen in any further negotiations
with the provisional government
of the islands looking toward eth
er pEQtectorate or to the annexa-
ton of the islands. The provi-
sional government has shown its
ability to maintain control of the
islands, having been in control of
all the departments of the govern
ment for more than five months,
and it is more than probable that
new treaty of annexation win be
framed within the next three
months.

THE trial of Lizzie Borden for
the murder of her father and step
mother was concluded at New
Bedford, Mass, last Tuesday and
resulted in a verdict of acquittal.
The authorities, after a fruitless
effort to discover the slightest
clue to the murderer, concluded to
arrest Lizzie Borden in order to
satisfy the demand of the public
that some one be arrested for the
murder. There was no evidence
that she committed the murder
and the jury, after having been
out about an hour, returned a
verdict of not guilty and now the
Borden murder is as much a mys-
terry as ever.
