The Dispensary Profits.

The opponents of the dispensary having
enforced the employment of many constables
at heavy cost, and having succeeded in clos.
ing the dispensaries for three months last
summer, thus entaiiing great expense for
house rent. insurance and salaries of dis
penser's while the illicit sale of liquor was
going on, are now gloating over the fact
that only q small per cent. Of the promised
profits have been realized.
= But the people are not going back TO the
bar-room system, even If the entire profits Of
the dispensaries are consumed IN enforcing
the best liquor law that we have ever had.
The temperance people of the State do not
wish TO return TO the old bar room system,
and they will stand by the dispensary as
being the better plan.
The Press and Banner supports the law, ir-
respective Of the profit feature. But we be-
lieve the profits should be greater. The liquor
trade. like any other business is promoted by
low prices. We say, therefore, raise the price
and increase the profits. AS rule, the less
liquor man gets for his half dollar, the bet
off he is.

Intelligent Republicans OF New Mexi.
co surely mast be proud of the fact that
they have two such daily organs as the
Albuquerque Citizen and the Las Vega.
Optic to look after their interests politl
cally in the present political emergency
For instance we find this in the Citizen
quoting the Optic:
"The Democratic gang at Santa Fe are
busily at work ''electing" the legislature
to suit their wishes. The Optic says
the plot deepens in the secretarys Of
flee over at Sarta Fs. W. B. Bunker has
received his certificate Of election to be
councilman from that officials Office
Did ever any more silly rot find its way
into cold tYpes OF course the statement
that Secretary Miller has ISSUED a Ger.
titicate" to Councilman elect Bunker or
any other party claiming to be member
of the legislature is simply brazen mis-
representation, put forth with view to
prejudicing the people against the terri.
torial secretary.
The above merely shows to what extent
the Republican organs are going to try
and bolster up their fast waning course

Looking at the Carlisle bill therefore
from the standpoint of probable results
only, 1T must be stated that it seems cal
culated to go a long distance toward
financial relief. First and foremost, the
plan contemplates enforcement of the
government from the business of bank
ing, proposition that is Democratic in
principle, as it would, we believe, be
beneficial in practical results.
Under the Carlisle system, which Is to
all practical purposes the Cleveland, and
hence the Democratic ADMINISTRATORS
system, the governments participation in
money matters would be simply that of a
supervisor and not, as now, OF a guaran-
tor. The country's money would be
guarded by 80 per cent guarantee de-
post aided by per cent safety fund
and backed by the united wealth of the
national banks. The governments rigid
supervision of the currency issued by the
banks, coupled with the 75 per cent issue
privilege, would be com bination such that
safety to note holders would be preserved
at the same time that elasticity to the
currency is insured.
Another feature of the bill is provis-
ion for the gradual retirement of the
egal tender and Sherman notes, which
are now the links in the "endless chain"
that is causing the drainage of gold from
the treasury. This provision would OBJ
vate the issue of bonds SO inevitable
under the present system as now inter
pretsd.
A third feature of the bill is the clause
prohibiting the issue of notes in amounts
below the denomination of $40. This
will have the effect of forcing into the
mints and thence into circulation the
present silver bullion accumulated in the
treasury and will thereafter lead to the
further use, by the government author
tiles, of silver for coinage.
While this concession to Che friends Of
silver is not all that is desired, it is at
least a start toward further recognition
of silver as money metal. In addition,
the bill provides for the opening of state
banks upon strict terms, a non-compli-
ance with which, it is provided, will result
in the imposition of the prohibltory tax
of 10 per cent ON circulation.
In all of the features above enumerated
the Carlisle plan differs from and is q
vast improvement on the socalled Balti-
more plan, the features of which, in view
of its origin, are naturally much more
favorable to the banking interests.
1t is very doubtful, however, if the Car
Isle bill will become law at this session,
whatever be its conceded merits. While
the house will almost certainly send the
bill to the senate by an early date In
January, the people have long since
ceased to expect very great deal of
prompt legislation at the hands of the
latter body. Perhaps, however, the con-
servatives will seize upon this occasion as
an opportunity to redeem themselves in
the eyes of the nation. Let us hope so.
At any rate, we shall see what we shall

THE CARLISLE FINANCE BILL.

The capitalization of Sec. Carlisle's
plan for the reformation of our financial
system into bill, which has been ap.
proved by the finance committee Of the
house and returned to that body for &C.
tion in the near future, brings the coun.
try face to face with the question, "Would
the passage of that bill furnish the relief
needed"
The merits of financial legislation are
so emphatically matters of experience
that it can not be stated in advance just
how any proposed change would affect
the nations interest. This was true oil
the notorious Sherman law, the principles
of which, as shown by its operation, were
SO soon repudiated by Democrats and Re.
publicans alike, including its author; and
this will inevitably be true to great OF
leps extent as to all financial laws. The
human mind does not exist that can fore.
see with unerring accuracy all the ext
gencies of financial system designed to
meet the needs of country whose inter.
ests are as vast and as diversified as those

ON the principle of "giving the devil

knowledge notice of the fact that the
local Republican organ is improving in
its journalistic methods, SO far as the use
of epithets is concerned. 1t shows that
that publication has the virtue of docility
shining out among its many less credit
able qualities. We do believe that, at the
present rate, the organ will in few years
be fit for general family reading, if it
keeps on in its present course.

PRESS COMMENTS.
The Proper sentiment.

Whether New Mexico is Democratic or
Republican is of far less moment than
that her elections be conducted with fair
ness and honesty. The legislature should
enact law that will protect the honest
voter in the exercise of his suffrage; that
will protect him from the merchantabe
hanger-on, and that will insure correct
count of the legal votes cast. When this
Ia done we believe that New Mexico will
be safely Democratic; but if our calcula-
tions are wrong, We can cheerfuly say
that we would rather live in Republican
commonwealth that is honestly Republi-
can, than to live in one whose elections
are controlled by fraud, no matter who
commits the fraud.-Roswell Record.

A city youngster who had never seen
the country or breathed any air but that
OF the crowded tenement district took
his first excursion into green fields with
fresh air" party during the time of the
full moon. The big yellow orb had a
peculiar attraction for the little fellow,
and night after night he would sit down
on certain stone behind the farmhouse
where his party lodged and silently watch
1t as it rose over the trees.
The week of refreshing was soon over,
however, and the boy went back To his
tenement, leaving the country behind
him.
A year passed, and again in the sum-
mer it happened that the little fellow
came back To the same house for another
weeks enjoyment. 1t was late in the
afternoon when he arrived. Supper was
eaten, and then he slipped quietly away
and made straight for the stone in the
backyard. But alas, there was no big
yellow moon in the old plaoe The little
boy looked all about, and finally discov-
cred, low in the west, the slim silver cres-
cent of the new moon. In a minute he
came running into the house, crying bit
terly, and exclaiming, ''Oh, it isn't the
same feller, 1t isn't the same feller we had
