AN ENGLISH OPINION.

The genuine free coinage advocates
in the United States have always in
sisted that in spite OF theorists and gold
bugs this government is rich enough
and great enough to establish and main
tain a financial policy Of it's " inde-
pendent OF England. In this belief it
has been sustained by some Of the ablest
economists Of Europe and one Of the
latest ia the London Financial News,
which takes occasion to say:
There is a plain moral in the remark
that il the United States would venture
to cut herself adrift from Europe and
take outright to silver she would have
all America and Asia at her back and
would command the markets Of both
continents. The barrier Of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier Of a Gus
tom house. The bond Of silver would
be stronger than any bond of free trade
There can be no doubt about it that
il the United States were to adopt a
silver basis tomorrow British trade would
be ruined before the year was out. Every
American industry would be protected,
not only at home but in every other mar
ket. OF curse the states would suffer
to a great extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold, but the
loss on exchange under this head would
be a mere drop in the bucket compared
with the profits to be reaped from the
markets Of South America and Asia, to
say nothing Of Europe.
1.-The marvel is that the United States
has not long ago seized the opportunity"

The people OF Townsend, Meagher
county, or at least a portion Of them are
anxious to take on city airs and to that
end have filed and published the legal
notice for incorporation, the vote on
which is to be taken December 20. The
Townsend Messenger heartily endorses
the proposition, and in a recent issue
recites the benefits that will accrue to
the community il the proposition carries.
In advance, however, it impresses upon
the citizens the necessity Of economy in
the administration OF prospective NUM-
cipal dignities, and adds that the assessed
valuation Of property is only about $780,
600. This is rather a small stake on
which to support a mayor and common
council and other officials, but il the
people are ia earnest it can be done.
There have been great results from small
beginnings AS a matter Of fact it would
seem that the incorporation move is but
the prelude to the bill for the ~organiza.

his domestic matters whined like q cur,
surrendered his manhood. wrecked the
life OF his wife, and attempted to disgrace
his child under the lash Of q who
had no possible claims upon him. The
testimony as she gave it bears tho i'm
press of truth and stands in marked
contrast to the shuffling efforts to make
Hershfeld appear an idiot at lifetime Of
marriage, and the infamous attempt to
assail her chastity with the aid of hired
perjurers. The case is now drawing to q
close, and no matter what the verdict Of
the jury may be, the verdict Of popular
opinion will decide that the HershHeld's
are an unsavory set, and that Aaron, in
spite of his wealth, has proven himself
to be devoid of any OF the principles or
even instincts Of a man and q gentleman.

The Independent has sounded the
keynote OF the Northern Pacific scheme.
In its issue Of yesterday it remarks:
"Get your irrigation bills ready, gentle
men. Let us have a serious effort to enact
a broad and liberal system OF laws for
Montana this winter" This was to have
been expected. The Helena ring has al
ready pledged the Lewis and Clark dele
cation to support any steal in the shape
OF an irrigation scheme that may be IN
troduced. Let the members Of the legls-
lature be on their guard.

One OF the best jokes Of the season
was perpetrated by the Independent yes
terday, In a long editorial on the needs
and prospects OF the city it says: "Safe-
guards against extravaganza must not
be broken down, or any step taken that
will impair our municipal credit" This
is refreshing. The municipal credit" OF

to the limit, so is it's assessment figure

what are its warrants worth.

THE BOND PAYN ENT.

Tho telegraph brings the news that
the New York goldbugs who purchased
the recent S%50,O00,O0O loan have antici-
pated tho payments and yesterday
poured S4O,OOO,OOO in gold into the sub
treasury. This is a cheerful sign, for it
indicates that the storm Of popular in
dignation that swept over the country
when the scheme Of Wall street in con-
n%ection with the bond purchase was ex-
posed has had a salutory effect upon the
money power. There is no doubt but
that the bond issue wal ordered by Sec
rotary Carlisle under a pledge from Wall
Street that the banks would furnish the
gold and that the pledge was deliberately
broken and the treasury robbed for the
purpose of making the first payment.
The trick WAS dishonest to the core and
public sentiment denounced it ia such
unqualified terms that the bankers
and brokers beat Il hasty retreat
and dug up enough to pay
the S4O,OOO.OOO before it was duo. Such
incidents as these are not without their
moral. They show that strong az is the
money power, there is a point beyond
which it dare not go in these unsettled
times. The national finances are out Of
Joint, currency reform is an absolute
essential, the demand OF ths people for
free coinage is growing in intensity, and
Wall street is virtually on the defensive.
At present it is not probable, but it is
possible that at the coming session OF
congress- there may be some remedial
legislation, but IL there is not it will Ger
tainly come during the first session Of
the next congress-. The republicans are
wise in their day and generation, as a
party they have always been equal to
emergencies, and the best OF them realize
that the only salvation for them in 1886
is by the way Of free coinage and there
is no reason to believe that they will moi
pay the price for the victory. The pay
ment OF yesterday is a very large sized
straw, and goes to show az ia said above
that the money power hss appreciably
felt the wave OF Indignation and is read,
to make some concessions to the people

BUTTE's NEW TROUBLE.

Butte is now engaged in something OF
a struggle which bids fair to develop
into a pitched battle, for the pa%rtisans on
either side are becoming excited. The
zone Of contention is the librarian OF the
public library, who has been dismissed
by the city council on the plea Of econ
omy. Tie friends OF the gentleman are
up in arms and are attempting to make
it hot for the council, which Ia being
deluged by petitions and protests, but at
last accounts the majority OF the body
were standing pat" and declaring they
would not recede from the position they
had taken. On the surface it would
seem that this was a tempest in a teapot
and that there was no occasion for such
a contest over the removal OF even a com
petent official, but it is whispered that
economy was only a excuse and that
the genuine motive was religious preju,
dice. This is, OF course, denied, and II

there is no in Montana foI

In Butte especially would it WORK
harm, for the racer there are 80 divided
that the outcome OF q contest in which
creed and nationality were pitted ont
against the other could not but result
il serious injury. 1t has ever been q fac

EDITOR EAGLE,
DEAR SIR:-There is a disposition
among the partially vagrant, non-tax-
paying and anarchistic element in the
representative district composed of the
three counties of Lincoln, Chaves and
Eddy to down our old friend, and the
friend of the people, Hon. j. F. Hinkle,
for representative, thereby cutting their
own throats, as it were-indirectly and
indiscretely working for the deprecia-
tion of the property of the very men
upon whom they-or, at least, most of
them-are dependent or livelihood.
They call him Corporation Jim
Why? Because he has been untiring in
his efforts to encourage immigration and
capital, and promote every enterprise
that would tend to develop southeastern
New Mexico, and enhance the value of
the property of every resident within
his district 1t has been impossible for
them to scare up but one objection to
him, and THAT is not considered an OBJ
lection by sensible men. They frantic
ally howl that "he FAVORED the bill
exempting the extension of the p. V.
railway from taxation for period of six
years from date OF completion"
We would like to ask these same howl
ers what damage, if any, this Pecos Val
ley road has been to Lincoln, Chaves
and Eddy counties? And we would like
to state that we the writer hereof) are
in position to KNOW that this road
WOULD NOT have been completed to Ros
well at this time had it not been for the
above named bill and the donation OF
$50,0G0 by the citizens Of Roswell.
One year previous to the starting OF
the p, V. road to Eddy, the section OF
country now embraced in Eddy county
had less than 100000 worth of property
To-day Eddy county has nearly
$2,0OO,000 worth of property. Would il
have been so had it not been for tht
railroad? No, Laving's Bend would
have been the barren waste that it was
in 1889.
Before the beginning OF this road
town lots in Roswell that now sell fol
from 81 900 to $4,000, sold for $50 anC
500. All other realty has increased il
like proportion, and there are ten per
sons in Chaves county now where there
was one then.
This same road has increased the val
ne of all property in Lincoln county
and it is whispered around that it vii
traverse the dales and hills of sale
county, and increase the value Of hel
property ten more fold, ere the lapse o
another year. The road las already
provided first-class market for thu
products OF the soil of our three coun
ties, and in short time will be trans
porting the lumber and coal OF LincolT
county, and her gold. silver, lead, cop
per and iron ores TO mills and amelter
in Roswell and elsewhere. Surely, tn,
p. V. road has done us no damage, anC
those anarchists have no earthly reasol
to present why j. f. HInkle should no
be reelected. He has always worket
for the best interests of his county, an'
just such men are needed to represen
every portion Of New Mexico in legisla
tive halls. OLD TIMER,

pedestrian, heated and tired, enter
ed village in the. byways of Cornwall
where he began at once to look for q
taproom or some place where he could
get strong drink, and finding none he
called out impaticntly to a passer-by
"You Cornish people are very good, are
you not?" The aged villager reverently
uncovered his gray locks and answered.:
"A hundred years ago man came into
these parts; his name was John Wesley"
Somebody has issued the following
advice to the drinker: "One gallon of
whiskey costs about three dollars, and
contains on the average, sixty five ten.
cent drinks. Now if you must drink
whiskey, buy gallon, and make your
wife the bar keeper; then, when you are
dry, give her ten cents for q drink.
When the whiskey is gone, she will
have, after paying for it, $3.50 left, and
every gallon thereafter will yield the
same profit. This money should be put
away in the savings bank, SO that when
you have become an inebriate unable to
support yourself. and stunned and de-
spised by every respectable person, your
wife may have money enough to keep
you until your time comes to fill a
drunkard's grave"
Sign the pledge: it aoiH SAGE yott from
tempta:ion.-You have no intention of
becoming drunkard; you scorn the
thought. But there is risk of your
becoming one, so long as you tamper
with the drink. You take it now for the
sake OF society, but you will come to
take it for its own sake. You can not be
sure that daily dram drinking may not
do for you what it has done for myriads,
in exciting thirst, now perhaps dor
mant, but which, when once aroused
will be Unsuitable! Wise men, good men
strong men have been mastered by that
awful thirst who no more expected such
thing than you do. Is it not folly
then, for you to run the risk of creating
it? Why not stop at once, before that
| thirst has been aroused?
