PETER, GOOD BYE AND GOOD RADIANCE.

Senator PETER, of Kansas, easily dis
tances all competition as the most tire
some individual in public life. In his
latest public utterance he declares in
favor of discarding silver as we'll as gold;
even goes 80 far as to say that he will
take the stump against the entire silver
movement; and insists that q new tangled
notion of his own, issuing money based
exclusively on land values and abolishing
all forms of interest, is the only panacea
for the ills OF the people. The champions
of silver have reason to rejoice that PETER
has voluntarily cut loose from them. The
sooner the righteous cause of the shining
white metal is we'll rid of all such vision
airy nobodies as PETER the better it will
be for the cause. The movement for the
restoration of silver to its rightful place
in our monetary system vitality and ma
terially concerns every man, woman and
child in our broad land. 1t involves
purely practical, matter of fact, every
day-in.the-year questions; questions that
long-haired dreamers with wheels in their
heads and perpetually moving jaws have
precious little comprehension Of; ques-
tions that must be solved by men pos
sessed of plenty of common horse sense
and we'll balanced reasoning faculties.
Happily thousands of men of this sort
are focking to the silver standard in all
parts OF the country, and, if, as all the
signs OF the times now plainly indicate,
the Democratic party adopts "free coin
age of silver and gold at 16 to 1" as it's
battle cry in 1896, the grand old party Of
the people certainly should and doubtless
will command the united support of all
sincere friends of silver throughout the
country. PETER, good bye and good rid
dance. Such men as you and Blood to
the Brides Waite, however we'll meaning
you may be, would handicap the best
osuss that ever enlisted human support.

PRESS COMMENT.
Las Cruces Sees the Point

The United States court will be held
no more in Las Cruces; it has been trans
ferred to Silver City by order of the su-
preme court of the territory at Judge
Bantz's request. Judge Bantz lives in
Silver City, and he has very naturally
favored his own town and consulted his
own convenience, and, we have not a
word of adverse criticism to utter con-
corning his action.
Las Cruces has lost the judgeship of
the district court, the district clerks of
flee and the United States court because
of the everlasting and idiotic squabbling
that has made Dona Ana county stencil
in the nostrils of the people of New Mex
leo. There is no peace in this commun-
ity from one years end to another.
few sordid office-seekers, who have no
political principles but make ducks and
brakes of all parties and policies for
their own personal profit, keep this
county and particularly Las Cruces in
dlsgracetul turmoil with their pestilent
pickering and poisonous backbiting, and
peaceabe man has about as much
show here as cat in sheol without
claws.-Las Cruces Independent.
