PRESS COMMENTS.
Crime In New Mexico.

1t has long since become maxim In
criminal law that the deterrent power of
a punishment depends more upon its
certainty than upon its severity. 1t is of
little avail to denounce the most terrible
penalty against given crime so long as
anyone who is tempted to the commission
can persuade himself that he may be toll
erably sure of escaping that penalty. A
law which, for any reason, is but rarely
executed, might as well not be on the
statute book. 1t is to this uncertainty
of the infliction of punishment after the
commission of the crime that murder,
cattle and horse stealing, perjury and
other crimes have, under former admins
trations in this territory been so rife.
More particularly has this been the cause
of 80 many crimes of violence being COM
mitted in the northern part OF the terri
tory. 1t is one of the best, among many
good things, that are being said for our
present Democratic territorial admins
tration, viz: that 1t is working hard to
find out the facts in every case of crime
brought to its attention and when found
to fearlessly enforce the legal penalty,
and that too in the face of much apathy and
opposition. Chief among these able and
determined officials may be named Gov,
W. 7. Thornton, Chief Justice Smith, and
our hard working and untlinching Judge
A. B. Fall.-Silver City Sentinel.

REVIVAL or BUSINESS.

Cheerful news comes to hand concern
ing the probability of an agreement on
the tariff reform bill within the next few
days. 1t now seems likely that this i'm
portant legislation will be done with in
side the coming week, and business men
all over the world are looking forward to
the event with intense anxiety. No
legislative measure was ever before the
nation that has received the attention
being bestowed to-day upon this one, for
it is confidently predicted, even in the
most conservative quarters, that its pas
sage will be early followed by one of the
greatest industrial and commercial
booms ever experienced. In his late
financial review Henry Clews says as
soon as this is done-the tariff bill en-
acted into law-commerce will revive,
imports will rapidly increase, and idle
industries will share in the general relief
from suspense. Amongst our leading
bankers there Is already much more
hopeful feeling than few weeks ago;
and in some lines of business trade has
within the last two weeks experienced
quite revival; nothing extraordinary,
but still recovery enough to indicate a
turn in the tide. Commercial paper is
in better supply, and lenders are much
less critical as 80 collateral than recently
all of which are favorable symptoms.
The condition of trade in England,
France and Germany has improved ma
terially during the last six months; and
this fact, together with the better feeling
over there which will follow the passage
of our tariff bill, will do much to count
eract the disfavor into which American
securities have lately fallen.

INSURANCE AGAINST DROUGHT.

The bitter experience settlers in Kan
the drought this year will unquestionably
convert thousands who now look upon
irrigation as deception and snare cal
culated only to benefit the western cor
porations who have land for sale. AL
ready these deluded morta,s are finding
out that water in abundance and when
needed adds 100 per cent to the value OF
land and stands as so much insurance
against the ravages of drought. Under
the circumstances there should be active
inquiry for New Mexico's irrigated lands
this fall and throughout the next year.

REPUBLICAN JUCCLERY EXPLODED.

Ever since the meeting of the national
Republican league in annual convention
at Denver, the Rocky Mountain News has
been carrying in its columns that body 8
resolutions on silver done up in big
black border, and has called loudly upon
the plain people-of course the Republi-
can politicians couldn't do ito explain
its meaning. The News offered prize of
$25 to the person sending to it the best
explanation of the resolution. There
we're 1900 answers received. The resolu-
tion reads
eve believe in the use of gold and sill
yer as money metals maintained on per-
feet parity and interconvertibility We
do not believe that there will be a perma-
nent return of prosperity to our country
until the full use and highest position of
silver shall be restored, and we favor
such legislation as will bring about the
result"
The prize has been awarded to Otto
Frincke, poor German living in West
Denver, formerly carpenter but now a
sufferer from paralysis. Following is his
answer:
st means that its authors were too
cowardly to endorse a categorical de-
mand for free coinage of silver. Like the
Damascus blade, it can be bent double
without breaking and twisted like cork
screw. 1t was to cheer gold monometal-
lists, being susceptible of any construc-
ton they may desire. Its authors cyl
IDENTIFY believed with Talleyrand that words
are given to conceal thoughts, not to ex-
press them. 1t is the champion f1y-paper

You May strike 1t Rich.

Ifyou could pick up $21 900 in gold by
one weeks work, it would beworth going
a few hundred miles to get, wouldn't it?
That's just what the Aztec mine Collar
Co., New Mexico) produced in seven days
with total product to date of nearly a
million dollars.
This rich mine is one of many in the
newly discovered Monero valley and Ute
Creek placer and quartz gold districts.

The News is to be congratulated upon
its success in SO completely exposing this
piece of Republican jugglery, and very
appropriately characterizes the leagues
resolution as "a Janus-faced attempt to
deceive the west and to satisfy the east
that gold monometallism is not endang-
cred by the Republican party"

New Fast Time.
TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO

TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO
AND NEW YORK CITY.
The Missouri Pacific railway on April
20, 1894, placed in effect new schedule
for its east Mail" train between Denver
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and Kansas
City and St. Louis; leaving Denver at SOC
p. NJ, Colorado Springs at 5:25 p. M.
and Pueblo at TOO p. M, and arriving al
Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, st. Louis al
6:55 a. m, and Chicago at 500 a. M, with
a direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington, D. c.. and all inter
mediate points.
This will enable passengers from Colo
RADIO interior points to make direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific fast
Mail" at Pueblo, by taking D. & R, G..
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours
time on the eastbound trip, and enabling
them to avoid disagreeable lay-over
with the advantage of only one change OF
cars between Colorado and New York
City, or other eastern points, which il
made in Union Depot.
Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars, and
Free Reclining Chair Cars of the latest
design. All trains heated with steam, (no
danger of fre), and lighted with the

why Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS,
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.

The announcement is made to the
democrats of. the state by Capt. 5 A.
Ashe that he is a candidate for the United
States senate, to succeed ZebulOn Is.
Vance, of honored memory and imper-
ishable fame.
Of the many gentlemen who will con
test for this high and honorable office, no
one is more thoroughly equipped than
Captain Ashe no one more thoroughly
and sincerely democratic than he; no
one more truly and genuinely in accord
with the principles, policy and aspira-
tons of the democratic party of this
state. His long experience as an editor
made it necessary for him to know much
and know it accurately. He seems to
love accurate information. With the
history and struggles of the party in this
state, he is intimately acquainted, For
many years the success of that party has
been the chief object of his life in its
V rying fortunes no one has been more
steadfast no one superior in loyalty ;
none more unwavering in his faith in the
ultimate triumph of its principles. The
party has for many years trusted his
Judgment, his discretion, his fidelity and
his integrity it can safely do so again in
any position of trust or office of honor.
In what measure he has contributed to the
fortunes of the party it cannot estimate,
until some standard of measurement can
be found of sound judgment, unceasing
and intelligent labor, discreet zeal, I'm
yielding and unmoving steadfastness and
loyalty. If the party in awarding the
official gifts within it's power will give
weight and consideration to such con-
spicuous services, Captain Ashe will be a
formidable opponent Of any man in the
state. Why should not the offices be the
reward Of such services and such ability ?
The middle section of the state has had
no senator for many years. Why should
we regard section anyhow: The time
was-of glorious memOry-when one
county furnished both senator's, the three
supreme court Judges, the superior court
judge and the congressman and The
