THE ISSUE DEFINED.

An Indications Point 60 q Straight Free
Silver Battle II h Polls
The field is fast being cleared for q
straightup auddown free coinage fight
next year. We have Mr.. Balfour de-
claring that he does not believe q
monetary conference of the nations
would accomplishAnythin at the pres
ent time This is equivalent to saying
that no conference will be held. We
have English and German gold-bug
papers receiving the declaration with
applause and the comment that it set
ties the matter of an international
conference for good In this country
we have the general confession of the
self-styled ''sound money" men that
when they speak of sound money they
mea gold alone or currency redeema-
BILE in gold alone This is being ad-
mitted everywhere, SO that there will
be no skulking behind disguise in the
campaign The question has hereto
fore narrowed down to the proposition
that the United States shall re-estab-
lish free coinage without the co-opera-
ton of any other country, or that the
gold standard shall continue in force
for an indefinite period. We have
never had faith in an interua-
tionai conference because the selfish
interest of England is opposed to sill
yer and England will dominate any con-
ference. The great papers of England
that are controlled by the money own
ing classes made no conceslment of
the fact that the single gold standard
operates for the benefit of the money
owners alone and against all other
classes. The vast amounts of interest
which Great Britain draws from this
county r given twice their legitimate
purchasing power while the foods and
products which Britain buys are low
cred to one-half their legitimate price.
An interview with Mr.. William Derry
shows that the people Of England
laugh at the United States for our
f~oolishness in playing into their hands
by our financial policy. Mr.. Derry is
an Eng1ishman with interests on both
sides of the water and he speaks with
knowledge.

try are wise enough to allow them

ingmen and wage AS the
gold-bug papers deem it their duty to
smother discussion, to suppress facts
and to distort arguments, the general
public has heard little or nothing Of
this free coinage campaign in the east.
And yet it has been going on in the
most vigorous way. In Philadelphia
the campaign has been marked by a
series of largely attended outdoor
meetings. The Philadelphia Amer
lean says that the small crowds which
welcomed the champions of free coin
age have grown from night to night
as the meetings have been more broad
ly advertised. The resolution, deco
rum and enthusiasm of the crowds,
the American says, have been most
striking. Indeed, no room is left for
doubt that the great masses Of the in
telligent wage of Philadelphia
and other eastern cities only need to
have the Ease of bimetallism fairly
placed before them to become earnest
advocates of the immediate restoration
of silver to its place as money side by
side with gold.
The American says that for the first
two or three nights, when the attend
ance at the meetings numbered but a
few hundred, the gold-bug organs ridi-
culed them. Now when the attendance
has grown so large as to make ridicule
dangerous, the gold bug organs studi-
ously ignore the meetings

. Crooked Case Near the Gov
ernor's Office,

The following special from Santa Fe
appeared in the Albuquerque Citizen
of October LIST.
A good deaf of excitement has been
created in some sections of theterritory
by the action of Governor Thornton in
committing the sentence of a murder
or now serving time in the peniten-
tiary.
The facts In the matter may be stat
ed briefly as follows: A mar named
William Davis murdered Hugh Fox in
Grant county a few years ago, and after
being tried and found guilty was SEN
fenced to seven years in the peniten-
tiary. All the people in Grant county
regarded the sentence ridiculously
light.
A short time ago an order was issued
by the governor, committing this SEN
tence to five years. No petition for
such Communication had eve been pre-
sented by the people familiar with the
circumstances, but on the contrary,
when they heard Of 1t an appeal was
sent to the governor protesting against
such action on his part, and this was
signed by all the prominent citizens of
the section of the county in which the
crime "a committed.
The case had not been investigated
by the board Of penitentlary commits
s%ionerS, and no action had been taken
in the matter by them. In fact it had
never been brought before them at all,
and they knew nothing whatever about
it till they read about it in the news
papers.
When these newspaper reports were
brought to the governors attention,
and he saw the people were indignant
at his action, be stated, in the presence
Of witnesses, that he had granted the
Communication at the request of Crist."
Crist is the prosecuting attorney of
the Santa Fe district, and the COVER
nor's right hand man. What interest
had MI. Crist in the matter? Possibly
a few extracts from the prison records
may show:
On the 18th of March, 1894, the prison.
or DaYis gave an order to "bearer'' for
1926, and the record shows that this Or
der was paid to Crist. On the 18th of
September, 1895, another order was
given by Davis for an additional sum
of $125, and the prison record shows
that this order wal also paid to Crist.
These facts were developed by the
board of p%enitentiary commissioners
when examining the records and stub
books Of the superintendent, and were
admitted by that official, when interro,
gated by the board. A few very days
aftor the payment to Crist, Of the Sc
ond order of 1925, the Communication
was granted by the governor, AT the re-
quest Of Crist."
BY what authority does the governor
assume to grant a pardon or commuta-
tion of sentence to a prisoner, "at the
request of Crist," or anybody else, in
direct violation Of the law of the ter
ritory2
The whole case has a very hard look.
The records of the prison show positi-
veiY that Crist received $3.50 of the
prisoners money, and the order COM
mutlng the sentence was then issued by
the governor, "at the request of Crist,"
as he says. and in direct violation of
the plain and positive terms of the
statute. There is room here for some
body to doa great deal of explaining.
