THERE are 100000 silver dollars
stored at the Philadelphia mint. One of
the officials says: "All efforts to get
them into active circulation have been
futile" The facts are they have not
tried very hard. Cashiers prefer to ham
lie paper or gold. They neither pay out
nor take in silver cheerfully. The pep
pie accept silver dollars willingly. There
is not mandatory in any city but
could every week pay of in silver, and
the workers gladly accept it, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.

If silver coin is good enough to pay
the clerks in the governments agricul-
tural de partment-if the law authorizes
the disbursing officer to pay those men
in silver, why doesn't it make it lawful to
pay other debts of the government in
silver? 1t does. Perhaps Secretary
Morton's "object lesson" may act as a
boomerang. If government employees
can be lawfully paid in silver, what's the
matter with paying interest on govern
ment bonds in silver?

a Gentle Hint.

Have you ever thought how the paper,
which comes regularly to you and upon
which you depend for the news, is able to
issue on publication day each week? Well,
it depends largely on you, and whether
you pay the subscription price of the
newspaper promptly, and for your adver-
Using, also. Many people seem to think
that because the amount is small 1t
"doesn't matter" Let US say that it does
matter to us, for the dimes make the
dollars and they soon count up. Won't
you do your part toward keeping and
building up your home paper by prompt
ly paying any arrearages Exchange.

The belief is fast gaining ground that
President Cleveland will appoint Secre-
tary Carlisle as Justice Jackson's sue
cessor on the supreme bench. After the
existing vacancy is filled, President
Cleveland will have named three out of
the nine members of this high tribunal.
Justices Brewer, Brown and Shiras, and
also the late Justice Jackson, we're ap-
pointed by President Harrison. Justices
Field, Harlan and Gray are the only JUS

THERE is one department at Washing

no other means can it so readily get at

suggestions touching the weather bureau
are filed. 1t is part of the duty of the

1t is also stated that Bunker traded his
vote to some Republicans on the capitol
rebuilding que tion, agreeing to support
the measure if the said Republicans would
oppose Mr.. Jones' confirmation.
Thus Bunker is shown up as possessing
a most shameful record for duplicity and
party treachery, the like of which is
scarcely to be found even in the rotten
history of New Mexico politics.
The New MEXICAN realizes that it is not
always well to air party secrets, but it
believes that where man whose char
acter is as clean and upright as that of
Mr.. Jones, against whose reputation as a
citizen and a Democrat there has never
rested one word of suspicion, and who is
by all admitted to be ably qualified for
the position to which he was named, has
been made the victim of party treachery,
simple justice demands publicity of the
facts.
However, as good fortune will have it,
all this treachery goes for naught, for
Gov. Thornton still has authority Of law
to appoint Mr.. Jones to the district at
torneyship and this he did to-day, hand
ing that gentleman the first commission
issued to any Democratic official ap-
pointed during or since the opening of
the legislative session.

SHIPPING SILVER.
san Francisco Scores a COmme mercial
Triumph In Diverting the Flow
OF the White Metal from
New York.

San Francisco, March 1.-San Fran
cisco agents of the China and Japan
bankers are checking tho flow of silver
from Colorado, Utah and Nevada to the
Orient by way of New York and shipping
bullion to Hong Kong and Yokohama
from this port. The silver shipments are
increasing monthly. The local smelling
concern separates gold and silver in bull
lion after which the silver is reshipped
abroad in solid bars. The cost of ship
ping $1,000 in fine silver from Denver to
Hong Kong via New York and London is
$1,000 and by way of San Francico $14.
The bank of California and the Fren ch
bank have in large measure change
the flow of the immense silver output,
which is regarded as pronounced COM
mercial triumph for San Fran 'isco.
China, Japan and other Oriental countries
have for years been the largest consumers
of silver in the world, having received
through San Francisco and London dur
ing the past six years, $342,0O0,000.

The bill appropriating the proceeds of
levy 20 of mill to the Las Vegas in
sane asylum, known as G. B. 113, had one
of the numerous narrow escapes of yes
terday. It was first indefinitely post
poned in the house, by vote of 12 to 8,
but this action was subsequently recon-
sidered and the bill passed by vote of
IA tot.
The Desmarais election law which pro-
vides such excellent features regulating
the purity of the elective franchise had IN
unfortunate fate. 1t was among the many
forgotten bills in the house yesterday
afternoon up to within an hour or two of
All journment. Representative Carr was
one who bore il In mind, however. and
upon his motion it was callsd d up and
passed, and even then it reached the gov
ernor too late to become law.
One of the most popular men in New
Mexico to-day is Vim. L. Dame, the
speaker of the late house. Senator Nick
GALES voiced public sentiment last night
when, in grasping that gentleman's hand
in congratulation, he said, "Dame, you
are man" Mr.. Carr's sentiment on the
same line shat truer friend than Dame
never lived" caused an honest blush to
visit the face of the gentleman from
Santa Fe.
Under the joint resolution passed by
both houses, President Curry and Speaker
Dame will have ten days to wind up leg
islative matters. They will be assisted
by Chief Clerks Lucero and Sena, of
the council and house respectively, and
by Assistant Council Chief Clerk Manuel
Sisneros and House journal Clerk Suth-
erin. Messrs. Curry and Dame will each
receive $40 per day, Messrs. Lucero and
Sena $8 and Messrs. SIsneros and Suther-
lin Sc.
After the passage Of the bill allowing
the use of the Albnq uerque National bank
funds for court purposes, it was discov-
cred that the bill as it went through both
houses omitted the slightly important
words, Albuquerque National bank, a
most striking instance of "Hamlet with
Hamlet left out" As soon as the defect
was discovered the bill was promptly re-
considered in each house, and thereupon
patched up and sent to tho governor. It
had narrow escape, but Calls we'll that
ends well.'
Mr.. Hadley got the laugh on his col
league Mr.. Perea, last night at tho To

eulogized the services of his colleague
Mr.. Ancheta, in glowing terms when Mr..
Hadley followed with the remark, "Mr.
President, will say this much for my
colleague from Bernalillo; he has done
the best he could" The laughter that
followed did not in the least, though,
shake Mr.. Perea's preverbia] equanimity.

and says the project can be carried out
without the firing of gun and it will
mean prosperity to the masses. We can
produce everything we need right here
and the states west of the Rocky noun

empire. We do not want the east to in
terfere with us or legislate for us because
our interests are widely different.
