REV. DR.. CHADWICK.
He Will Lecture on George William
Curtis.

The ladies of the auxiliary Of the Second
Unitarian Church, corner Capp and
Twentieth streets. announce that they
have secured the services of the Rev John
Chadwick of Brooklyn, n. Y, to lecture for
them next Tuesday, at P. NJ.
Mr.. Chadwick is widely known as a
lecturer, author and preacher. He has pub
lished several able theological works which
have passed through from six to ten editions
Several volumes of poems bear his name
His hymns will be found in many collec-
tons. Nearly every leading magazine pub
fishes articles from his pen, and perhaps
q o man in America is more widely known
as reviewer of books than he.
The ladies feel that they have been for
tunate indeed, to secure Mr.. Chadwiek's
services, and hope the people of San Fran
cisco will show their appreciation of this
prophet who is not without honor even In
his own country, and certainly should not
be without honor here.
Mr.. Chadwick lectures on George William
Curtis, of whom he was an intimate friend
and associate. Mr.. Chadwick conducted
the funeral services of Mr.. Curtis, and this
lecture which followed has been conceded
to be valuable addition 10 our literature

LOW WILL GET TO WORK.
The Building Committee of the Super
ViSOrS Meet and Discuss Coal.

At yesterdays meeting OF the Building
Committee of the Board of Supervisors
Police Judge Low modestly requested that
he be assigned quarters in VIII ch TO begin
to work. He was told he might take the
courtroom at the old City Hall formerly
occu pied by Judge To0hy.
The committee then tackled the coal
question. an investigation into which had
been ordered. Finn and Foley. who fur
nished the coal. had been suspected of
having provided anthracite instead of Penn
svlvanla. which the contract called for, but
several witnesses, including F. Lynch. a
coal-dealer, testified that the coal was
genuine, SO Finn and Foley were duly
exUnerated.

A Deer Story.


Last fall Mr.. Walling, whose farm
adjoins the village of Halliburton. had two
acres and n half of Swede turnips. Of
these he gathered two acres, putting them
in heaps aud covering them with about
six inches of straw. The half acre
was not harvested. and the turnips
remained in the ground. Mr.. Walling's In
tention was to draw the turnipS, which were
in heaps, as soon as the first snow came,
but the intention was not carried out and
the snow covered the heaps and preserved
the turnips. Last week Mr.. Walling de-
cided to commence feeding the turnips, and
took sleigh TO the turnip field. The heaps
We're all gone. Every turnip had been
eaten by deer More than that the
half acre had been carefully gone over by
the herd of deer, and every turnip had been
grubbed out OF the ground aud eaten, 1000
bushels In all being eaten. The marks of
the deer we're seen in every direction, and
there must have been nine or ten. The field
where the turnips were consumed Is not
more than three-quarters Of a mile from the
village postoffice, going rs the crow flies.

TIME FOR EARNEST WORK.

There is plenty of time yet for prepar-
ing exhibits for the Worlds fair, if the
proper sort of energy is displayed. The
New MEXICAN proposes to make it it's
business to see that New Mexico is not
entirely left out in the cold on this occa-
sion and it now calls upon the live men
of New Mexico to get move on and
make the most of this rare opportunity.
Now that the legislative appropriation of
$4,000 will be in hand in few days the
work already done will begin to count,
and tho commissioners and Supt. 7. B.
Mills ought to receive the heartiest CO.
operation at the hands of the people.
Let there be general awakening to the
dignity and importance of this matter.

the TERRITORIAL sECBsrsRYsHlp.

It lis admitted on all sides that Hon. S.
Alexander, who was appointed five
months ago, has made an efficient, pains
taking, courteous and exceedingly COM
petent secretary of the territory of New
Mexico. This opinion is fully sustained
by the fact that every member of the
SOth legislative assembly of New Mexico
in session during the months of January
and February of this year, (ifteen Re-
publicans and twenty-one Democrats)
voluntarily and freely signed paper to
this effect. 1t is claimed by the men who
are supposed to constitute the combine
for the parceling out of New Mexico Of
fees, that no matter how clean Mr.. Alex
ander's record, he will have to 60.
Among the candidates for the position
are, according to latest information, Geo.
W. Lane, secretary of New Mexico under
the first Cleveland administration; L. E.
R. Paulin, of San Juan county; P. B.
Lady, of Grant county; J. H. Crist, of
Santa Fe; II. II. Pierce, of Las Vegas, and
a few dark horses on the side. Crist, it
is reported, will probably withdraw,
The appointment, if made, seems to be
between Messrs. Lane, Paulin and Lady.
Of course it would please the people of
New Mexico to have Secretary Alexander
retained. The NEW MEXICAN, of course,
can not say as to what the new administra-
ton will do, and how it will act, but look
ing at the candidates, this journal is con-
strained to state here as fact that Mr.
Lane made competent and good secre-
tary and that the 28th legislative assem-
bly, passed formal resolutions to that
effect; that body was Republican and this
was quite compliment to Mr.. Lane.
Mr.. Lady, during the session of the
assembly, received strong endorsement
and made good record as member of
the house of representatives of the Both
assembly of New Mexico.
Mr.. Paulin, it Is understood, has the
recommendation of Delegate Joseph.
This is the situation and the New MEX
loan, having no interest in the matter,
except that it is DESTROYS that Mr.. Cleve-
land should make the best appointment
possible, gives the facts as they exist.

There are such men in New Mexico,
who have allowed no petty jealousy to
drive them to the verge of disruptlng
their party.
Hon. Antonio Joseph knows these men
personally to have secured his own cleo
ton. He knows of combinations made
against them inside and out, fomented by
soreheaded Democrats and Mugwumps,
who we're aided and atetted by ringster,
boodler Republicans.
Knowing the conditions, he can guard
against Vaccinations for securing the APP
pointment of men who will 60 to any
lengths for gratifying their personal
animosities.
Should Mr.. Joseph permit himself to
advocate the appointment of men who
made no personal and pecuniary sacrifice
in his own behalf simply because he was
the nominee of the Democratic party, he
will not be applauded by his constituents
in southern New Mexico.-Las Cruces
Democrat.

CLEvELAND's POLICY.

President Cleveland has made some
bold departures from the established
customs in the selection of men for
subordinate official positions, and his &C.
tions thus far, coupled with his frequent
references to "Jeffersonian simplicity"
make it clear that the president is going
to try very hard to get as closely to the
people as he possibly can. He isn't 60
ing to be guided very much by what the
politicians have to say, but where he
finds in Office faithful man, satisfactory
to the people, he will be slow to make
changes until the term of office expires.
This is the plain meaning of Mr.. Cleve-
lands position. Of course it will make
him friends personally, but it will be gall
and NORWOOD for the politicians. 1t is
interesting to New Me1icans in particular
because it means that any political COM
bine having for ITS object parcelling
out of the territorial offices is likely to
strike a snag at Washington before long.

A strong Hint to Delegate Joseph.

Now that we have Democratic admin
istration, it is incumbent that the best
men should be appointed to fill positions
in the gift ofthe lefexecutive. To allow
personal animosities to dominate or even
suggest themselves, to the detriment of
any Democratic aspirant, is unworthy of
those having the matter in hand.
Democrats who worked with untirlng
activity, not passively, should be recog-
nized, other things being equal.
Those men who regardless of labor and
expense, aided to carry the Democratic
banner forward to success; who planted
that banner on the ruins of the Oligarchv
which has for so many years reigned SUI
preme in New Mexico, are the men most
deserving recognition.
In New Mexico are men whose Demo-
cracy is unquestioned, except by political
tricksters; and, who fought enemies with
in as we'll az without their ranks. Men
whose capabllity equals that to be found
elsewhere; and whose integrity and party
fealty IS unimpeachable. Men whose
loyalty to principle held them firm, al
though beset by political vultures within
their own party. Men too true to throw
up public trust because of imaginary,
personal grievances.

the WALL STREET TRICK DID NOT WORK.

SEVERAL weeks prior to the close of the
last congress, and while the eastern fnan-
ciers were clamoring so loud for the re-
peal of the silver purchase act, President
Harrison said he was satisfied the gold
shipments abroad were made by
Wall street spectators solely for the pur-
pose of influencing legislation. This view
of it has since been dem onstrated to be
correct. Gold shipments have now prac-
tically ceased. The Wall street sharpers
fell far short in their endeavor to brighten
the country, because, chiefly, the people
had a friend on guard to expose their
nefarieus tricks,
