issue of the News. 1t will be observed
that with the exception of Missouri, Ar
kansas and Texas, not one craftsmanship
has been awarded to the vast region west
of the Mississippi river. Out of fifty
four chairmanships Speaker Crisp could
not spare one for such states as Califor-
mia, Oregon or Washington, with their
vast marine, agricultural and commercial
interests; not one important position
is awarded the mineral producing states
of the Rocky mountains. Not sign Of
recognition to the populous and wealthy
grain producing states of Iowa, Mime
sofa, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas.
1t is plain to distinguish the fine handi-
work of Cleveland and Carlisle in the
makeup of Mr.. Crisp's list of committees,
and it is we'll to call public attention to
their sectional character. 1t is quite as
we'll that the great and powerful trans
Mississippi region should know thus
early in Mr.. Cleveland's official term just
what its people have to expect from the
administration. It is plain to be seen
now that western people will receive
nothing from Cleveland which they do
not win by their combined political
power. Tho great states west of the
Mississippi must combine for self-pro-
lection or continue to be ignored by the
hostile combination now controlling the
government.-Denver News.

TO AVERT TROUBLE.

The New York Board of Trade seems
determined to force conflict between
capital and labor. 1t has really called
that convention of Commercial bodies"
to meet at the national capital, September
- and to demand of congress the repeal,
Internationally, of the silver purchasing
act. Now if the idle workingmen of the
nation, including New York city's 1OO,-
600 starving men and women, should
happen to arrive in Washington about
the same time and make demonstration
before members of congress in favor of
doing just the reverse that the CONNER
cial bodies delegates demand, then will
be the beginning of trouble that can not
but be serious. The labor leaders of the
nation have now as never before an
opportunity to display their patriotism.
Let them inveigh with all their might
against any such counter demonstration
by laboring men. The welfare of the
nation is practically in their hands at
this time.

The Democrats of the Hawkeye state will
meet their Waterloo this trip. They made
a mistake in renominating Boies for he
Ia mn artist as straddler on the silver
question, and the idea of declaring allegi-
ance to the Chicago platform and stand
inp Boies thereon as gubernatorial
candidate is really Iaughable. On the
other hand the Republicans of Iowa are
outspoken on the silver question; they
have made strong nominations and they
will be winners by large majority

GOVERNOR THORNTON, in conformity
with the prevailing sentiment, has called

timely. The convention should be well
attended and full expression of the de-

The Santa Fe Board of Trade should
represent to President Jeffrey of the

northern and northwestern New Mexico
and his road are being greatly harmed by

ness belonging to section of country

by United States Marshal Rankin,
on the charge of embezzlement. Mr..
Mast was at once brought before

a registered package. said to contain
$3.50. The package was mailed by the

claimed that the letter was last seen
in Mr. Masi's hands on the 3rd day of
October, and that it failed to reach
its destination Although the sack
that went from Cheyenne TO Chicago
appeared not to have been tempered
with after it had been closed by the
postmaster in this city.
The complainant, Inspector c. L.
Nichols, had sworn to the above and
after the hearing MIR. Mast was re-
leased in $1,000 bonds to appear be-
fore the United States court in this
city on November 3.
Mr.. MASKS accounts were checked

THE COLORADO RIVER.
scheme 30 Make 1t Nargable for Nine
Hundred Miles.

Washington, Oct % Governor
Hughes, of Arizona, had an important
conference with Minister Romero, OF
Mexico touching on the improvements
of the Colorado river, which would add
to its importance as a channel of COM
merce. The governor represented to
Romero that the Colorado was the sec
ond largest stream on the Pacific
coast, and said with the securing of
jetties at the mouth and with some
dredging along the course of the
stream, it could be made navigable for
900 miles. far up into Arizona and Ne
vada, tapping the rich mineral depos-
its in the mountains and the fine agrl-
cultural and horticultural region in the
lower country. He pointed out that
Mexico, along the gulf of California,
was possessed of large forests OF me
timber and immense deposits OF coal,
in both of which the southwestern
portion of the United States was de-
ficient Governor Hughes thinks the
government of the United States
would make the improvements neces-
sary within it's boundary if the Mex
lean government would undertake to
do as much within the Mexican terri
tory. The lower $50 miles of the river
is in Mexico Minister Romero was
very much impressed with the repre-
sentation made by the governor and
said he would recommend his govern
ment to give the matter attention. He
thought the best way to proceed would
be for the two governments to join in
the appointment of a commission to
investigate the entire question.

RIGHTS OF RAILWAYS.
A Decision of Great Importance to the
West.

Washington, Oct. pa decision of
Importance to the railroads in the far
west was rendered today by the United
States supreme court. The Denver &
Rio Grande was sued by the United
States for the value of timber, stone
and material taken from the public
domain and used in the construction
of its railroad in sections remote from
the vicinity from which the material
was taken. Under the act of 1875,
granting the railroads right of way
over the public domain. they were
given the privilege of using the mate
rails on the public domain but it was
contended by the United States that
this privilege was timed, so that mate
rial could be used only on a part of
the road adjacent to the place from
which it was taken. Justice Jackson,
speaking for the court, said this was
too narrow a construction of the law
and that there was no limitation as to
the part of the road on which the ma
terial might be used, the only limita-
ton being that the material must come
from the lands adjacent to some part
of the railroads right of way The
court accordingly affirmed the judg-
ment of the Colorado circuit court.

THOUSANDS OF

Grand Ratification Meeting in
Brooklyn.
SENATOR HILL SPEAKS.
sNAToR HILL SPEAKS.
Democratic Promises Will Soon Be
Realized.
BE Says the Sherman Law Is a Legacy
Left Us by the Republican Party
Democratic Administra-
ton Sustained.

Brooklyn N. Y, Oct. 23.-Democrat5
in thousands gathered in the big Acad-
envy of Music this evening to hear Sen
ator Hill speak. 1t was announced as
a grand Democratic ratification meet
ing, and the promoters took occasion
to have a long series of resolutions
printed and distributed. The resolu-
lions contained a pledge to support
Cleveland and the national Democratic
administration, and demanded prompt
and absolute repeal of the silver pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act.
When Senator Hill came to the front
the great crowd cheered and half the
audience rose to their feet, waving
flags and handkerchiefS. The senator
bore it all calmly and placidly. and
when it was over he began his speech.
Senator Hill opened with a short al
fusion to the opponents of Democracy
and it's principles, saying it was the
same common enemy with whom his
party had been contending for so many
years. The senator spoke of the Ways
and Means committee in the tariff re-
visions and said the country was on
the eve OF the realization of Demo-
ocratic promises. He repeated his
we'll known views on the fed
eral election law, referred briefly
" TIE finances Oh the national gov
eminent, and then passed to the con-
sideration of the Sherman silver law
another legacy left us by the Re-
publican party" On the subject, he
said: THE law is Illogical in it's con-
| structiOn, vicious in it's tendencies and
| injurious in its operation. The presi-
dent of the United States, Grover
| Cleveland, performed a patriotic act
in promptly converting Congress and
Recommending the repeal of the Sher-
man law. In the desperate effort to
prevent or delay the passage of this
bill, the freedom of debate was abus-
| ed. No matter what may be the out
come of the present struggle, the ne
cessity for a change in the Senate
rules has been abundantIy demon
strated. I promise you the effort for
a change will be continued. irrespec-
tive of the fate of the present bill.
The majority must be permitted to
dominate and control it's proceedings
or else. legislation will become i'm
possible"
The remainder of Hills speech was
taken up with a discussion of state
matters, and he closed with a predic-
ton of a great Democratic victory
next month.
