SENSATIONAL pENOUEMENT.

Soon after the rendering of the
adverse decision in the Peralta-
Reavis case, the tall form of James
Addison Peralta-R eavis quietly
moved out Of the court room and
down on the shady side Of the
street to the plaza. AS he ap-
preached the monument, he was
placed under arrest by Deputy
u. s. Marshal Page b. Otero, who
has had a warrant for the appre-
hension Of Reavis and has shadow
ed him constantly ever since he
arrived in Santa Fe. Indeed,
Reavis has been under the sur
vsillance Of Uuited States officers
ever since he fled his fabricated
grant for confirmation in the court
OF private land claims.
The charge against Reavis is
that, on the 18th Of February,
1898, IN the city of Santa Fe and
territory of New Mexico, he fled
in the Uuited States court of pri-
.vate land claims q claim against
the United States, said claim being
fled for the purpose Of falsely,
hctitiously and fraudulently OBJ
tanning from the government Of
the United States, through a iudg-
ment Of said court Of private land
claims, a large sum Of money to-
wit: 100000. This claim was for
lands on the fabrication Peralta-
Reavis grant disposed Of by the
United States before the fling Of
the petition for confirmation,
Reavis was at once taken before
United States Commissioners W.
II. Pope. who fixed Friday morn
ing, at 10 o'clock, as the time for
his preliminary hearing. Mean
while he was placed under $4,000
bonds and turned over to the Gus
.tody Of the United States marshal.

Lot na remind lho average citiz-
en- that President Cleveland's
position on the silver question is
absolutely unmisiakable, and that
his term Of Office viii not expire
until the 4th q March, 1897. SO
long a. he 10 ia tho White Hovse
no bin for the free coinage Of
silver can be placed on tho statue
books. Furthermore; in the ordi.
nary course o. things even II q
pro-silver President aud pro-siIvor
Congress should be secured BY the
elections Of November, 1896, Il
would be altogether unlikely that
a silver coinage act could be act
ually carried through both houses
and put into operation sooner than
July, 1898 Thus there is no rea-
sonable chance that within three
years to come, in spite Of all pos
sible agitation, We shall witness
any essential change in our coinage
and legal-tender laws.
BY chat time Il is not wholly un-
reasonable to hope that the pros
poets Of international bimetallism
may become much brighter than
they seem at the present moment
The large Development of Asiatic
industry and commerce that is ex-
pected to take place within the
next few years must affect pro-
foundry this question of the mon-
etary standards. China, Japan,
and India are monometallic silver
countries. Their proportionate
influence in the commercial life of
the world is destined to increase
rapidly. Australia is fast become
ing a convert to the silver cause,
and in the natural order of events
it is certain that South America
and Mexico, also belonging to the
silver-using portion Of the world,
must increase in the scale Of COM
mercial Importance. The neces-
sity for a constant par Of exchange
between the gold-standard and the
silver-standard countries must
therefore grow constantly stronger.
These changing conditions will
make it easier rather than harder
to arrive at an international agree
ment upon a coinage ratio between
the two meats. The time will
come when, with the growing com
mercial power of the Asiatic,
countries and Latin American, the
United States, France, and Italy
could expect to secure the adher-
ence Of Russia to a bimetallic
agreement; and England and
Germany would find themselves
under the necessity Of yielding to
the logic of events.

HAcKRERRY, Ariz., June &c.
From Peach Spri ngs comes the
story Of the finding of a nugget,
or boulder rather, of pure silver,
such as there has been no record
Of in the history Of mining in the
west. The boulder weighed about
half a ton, and its value is any
where from $1,000 to $4,000. It
was found by William Tucker and
John Doyle, both old prospectors,
and they have kept the facts to
themselves heretofore because Of
the chance that there was more
silver where the lump came from,
and they desired to get the best
location for themselves before

AGES or THE "FATHERs OF THE
REBUBLIC.v

Baltimore sun.
For some strange reason nearly
all the artists have pe~rsistently
represented the fathers Of the re-
public rs old men. School chill
dren. hojudge from the pictures
they see, would conclude that
Washington and Jefferson, Madi-
aon, Monroe, and Hamilton were
never young. When Washington
took command of'the Continental
army he was only 43 years of
age, andshe is generally represent
ed as anl6ld man. Madison became
the "father Of the constitution at
36. Monroe was elected Governet
sof Virginia at Al. Alexander
Hamilton became q captain in the
Continental army at 10. At 80
years of age he signed the consti-
tuition, and at 50 became the FIRST
Secretary Of The Treasury. Thorn
as Jefferson wrote the Declaration
of Independence when he was 80.
And be is represented at that age
by the sculptor Valentine in q
statue which he has made for
Major lewis Ginter TO adorn the
new Jefferson Hotel at Richmond.
Mr.. Jefferson was six feet two and
a half inches in height, and Nj.
Valentine had the advantage Of a
model dressed in a suit Of Mr.
J~efferson's clothes. The statue is
a little larger than life, and it has
been highly commended. Let us
hope that this is the beginning Of
news era in art so far as the
fathers Of the republic are CON
cerned. y
