LAW AND ORDER.

The record Judge N. B. Laughlin is
making as presiding judge of the dis
trct court is worthy of more than a
passing mention. Within the past week
the iuries in his court have brought in
verdicts of guilty in two cases wherein
the defendants, three in number, were
charged with the crime of MURDER in the
first degree. Uhis is extraordinary as
the court records usually go in New
Mexico. Tnder the prevailing method
of legal procedure the laws delays are
such that it has heretofore been the ex
ception to the rule when such speedy re-
suits could be obtained. The lawyers
have generally held the whip-hand and
Justice has been sacrificed for some
trivial technicality, or sentiment has
been brought to play upon the minds of
the jurors so forcbly as to bring about
its miscarriage. The presiding judges,
too, have doubtless felt that they were
handicapped by the cumbersome legal
methods, and have not, as rule, had
the courage to weigh the evidence in
their own minds and deal frankly with
the Jurors, even in cases where every
good of society was at stake. But
with Judge Laughlin, long a faithful and
conscientious advocate at the New Mex
leo bar, the ends of justice, evidently,
are taken to constitute the highest aims
of the law, and while strictly combining
his rulings to the practice governing our
criminal statutes he has displayed so
much zeal, ability and irmness in his
conduct of court affairs as to challenge
the admiration of all. He has taken the
jurors into his confidence and spoken to
them openly and frankly, doing away
entirely with the barrier that so many
presiding judges unconsciously, perhaps,
put up between the court and jury, and
he has made the jurors feel by his careful
attention to the case and his earnest de-
sire to bring out all the details involved,
that they possessed an equal responsible
ity with the court in attaining the ends of
justice and the good of society. To such
methods as these are to be attributed the
results which have been attained thus far
in the district court now in session under
Judge Laughlin's control. When we look
back at the record we must admit that his
efforts have not been equalled in results
here for years.
The district attorney, too, Mr.. j. H.
Crist, has performed his duties with abil
ity and energy and the good work now
being done toward the promotion of law
and order in this community is in no
small degree due to his earnest efforts as
a public prosecutor.

DEMOCRACY AND SILVER.

To the Democrats of the United
States
Washington, Mch. Ave the I'M
dersgned Democrats, present for
your consideration the following state
ment: We believe that the establish
ment of gold as the only monetary stand
ard and the elimination of silver as a
full legal tender money will increase the
purchasing power of each dollar, and SO
the burden of all debts, decrease the mar
ket value of all other forms Of operty
and continue and increase the business
depression and finally reduce the MAJ ority
of the people to financial bondage. We
believe no party can hope for enduring
success in the United States so long as it
advocates single gold standard, and
that the advocacy of such financial
policy would be especially dangerous to
a party which, like the Democratic party,
derives its voting strength from those
who may without reproach be called the
common people; and we point to tho
overwhelming defeat of the party in 1894,
to the opposition aroused by the veto of
the seigniorage bill and to the still more
unanimous protest against the issue of
gold bonds as proof that the Democratic
party can not be brought TO the support
of the gold standard policy.
We believe that the money question
will be the paramount issue in 1896, and
will so remain until it is settled by the
intelligence and patriotism of the Ameri-
can voters.

La Fiesta de Los Angeles.

On April 18th to Goth inclusive q car
nival entitled TIA fiesta de Los Angeles"
will be held at Los Angeles, Calf.
1t is under the management of the
Merchants Association, an influential
organization of business men who have
large resources and it is expected that
the carnival will excel the Mardi Gras or
any similar fete ever attempted in Ameri
ca.
The fiesta of 1894 was pronounced
success from every standpoint and the
plans for the 1895 event promise the
most unique fete OF modern times. As
you doubtless understand, there are
peculiar conditions which make celebra-
ton of this character more enjoyable
there than elsewhere, among which may
be mentioned the mild climate, an abund-
apce of fruits and flowers, and the his
toric and romantic associations of Cali
fornia, from which latter are drawn ma
terials for many artistic and unique feat
ures of "La fiesta de Los Angeles" The
Spanish and Chinese population part
icipate in the parades and there are many
other features Of an instructive and re-
fning nature. Low rates of fare in effect
via Santa Fe route. For particulars call
on or address.

WON'T COME WEST,

1t ia interesting to know, in view of
the extensive publications which have
been made regarding his future move
ments, that Governor Mckinley is not
coming west this year on political
iunket.
The assertion that he contemplated an
extensive tour through the western and
northwestern states has been so reiterated
that it has come to be accepted as a fixed
fact. But Mckinley himself-and he
ought to be good authority-says that
there is not and has been no f, undation
for the statement, even though some
newspapers have gone SO far as arrange
for him complete itinerary of travel.
"There is nothing in it," he said. "The
only trip that will make this year, that
I know of at present, will be to Ottawa
Kas, to participate in a gathering of ex-
Union veterans. am going out to Kan
sas next July or August, and will come
right back to Ohio. The western trip
which has been so kindly announced for
me will not be made" Why, of course
not, out west, that is, in the country vest
of eastern Kansas, Mckinley would have

We believe majority of the Demo-
Gratis of the United States favor bimetal-
lism and realize that it can be secured
only by the restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver at
the present ratio, and we assert that the
majority has and should exercise the
right to control the policy of the party
and retain the party name
We believe it is the duty of the major
ity and within their power to take charge
of the party organization and make the
Democratic party an effective instrument
in the accom- lishment of needed re-
forms.
1t is not necessary that Democrats
should surrender their convictions on
other question in order to take an active
part in the settlement of the question
which at this time surpasses all Others in
Importance. We believe that the rank
and file of the party should at once as
sert themselves in the Democratic party
and place it on record in favor Of the i'm
mediate restoration of the free and I'M
limited coinage of gold and silver at the
present legal ratio of IS to l, as such
coinage existed prior to 1873, without
waiting for the aid or consent Of any
other nation, such gold and silver to be
full legal tender for all debts, public and
private.
We urge all Democrats who favor the
financial policy above set forth to asso-
cate themselves together and impress
their views upon the party organization.
We urge all newspapers in harmony with
the above financial policy to place it at
the head of the editorial column and as
sist on the immediate restoration of BIZ
metallisn.

been acquitted. This places Oscar Wilde
the sunhower aesthetic, in a very hot box
The public prosecutor will now get after
him, and, unless he fees and hides his
head in some out of the way corner of
the earth he'll stand very excellent
prospect CT getting behind the bars of
some dark and dismal dungeon. Be it
said to the honor of Great Britain, that
penal servitude for life is the penalty
provided by statute for conviction of such
crimes as Wilde stands charged with.

NEWS from Venezuela is looked for with
some apprehension these days as the
latest advices from that country indicated
a very critical state of affairs. England
is pressing her boundary claims with
logged persistence, while Venezuela just
as doggedly insists on her rights in the
matter. If England forces the issue with
our weak southern sister republic, it may
compel the United States to take part in
the controversy and then there will be
either a back down on the part of old
England or we may expect to see some
thing drOp.

The monometallists are tearing their
linen trying to persuade Japan to take
gold rather than silver from China. But
they will never succeed. In the first
place, China could not find the gold to
pay with; in the next place, Japan would
not have it. The talk of "gold credit" is
all right, but that credit would at once be
converted, when needed, into silver coin.
Oh, what wise lot of Wall street pro-
phets we have, to be sure.

At the Metropolitan Theater to- morrow
evening Frohman's Company will pre-
sent the comedy "Charley's Aunt" 1t
was given here year or so ago by one of
Frohman's troupes and proved one of
the most mirthiul plays ever presented
here. In New York it had 400 repre-
sensations consecutively at the Standard
Iheater, l20 III Chicago aud 100 in phila-
delphia. IL has had long runs in all The
leading European cities also. "Charley's
Auut' is what is designated legit-
mate comedy-iarce, that Is, the fun
is all clean, and in bringing about the
hurricane OF laughter which characteriZes
.ts performances, there is no recourse to
the variety business which figures so
largely in the average farce comedy. The
play, we are assured. Will be given here
by a select company which umbers
three OF the original London cast, Arthur
Larkin playing the role of the bogus
aunt. The box-ofiice OF tie Metropolis

ence al the Metropolitan Theater last
evening. The company consists OF
twenty members, twelve of whom form

who constitute the principal strength of
the company. 1t gave a fairly pleasant
performance, but 1t is not nearly SO
strong a troupe. nor so attractive and

here on all previous occasions.
