THE popULIsT CONVENTION,

THE POPULIsT CONVENTION.
The populists OF this Territory have
honored Las Vegas in making this city
its place Of holding their Terrltorisl
convention, which meets TO- morrow
Let the citizens II Las Vegas recip-
rocate In a warm and hearty Welcome ;
let the visitors feel that we are glad to
have them among us and that. We re-
spect them in their honest convictions
on matters political.
II is easy enough to call a man a
scrank," but the "crank" will be
found, 10 most cases, to be q thinking
man, and one who dares to express his
views.
The populist party, comparatively
speaking, has had much power,
aud the men who have joined 1t could
not have done SO from any selfish mo-
tives. This, then, is n great thing
10 their favor, as their labors can bt
interpreted to mean nothing else thar
patriotism.
The citizens OF Las Vegas should SEE
to 1t that the meeting which the popu-
lists propose to hold tomorrow even
ing is we'll attended and is held In Q
hall of sufficient size to comfortably
seat a goodly number of people.

DR.. J. Walter Fewkes, Mrs. Fewkes and
DR.. Walter Hough, of the Smithsonian In
stitution, Washington, are guests at the
Exchange hotel, says the New Mexican.
1'he party has been engaged in arch@o-
logical explorations at Moqui, Zuni, Chav-
ez and near Winslow, A. T., for three
months past. They we're highly success
full, aud as a result they have just forward
ed to the Smithsonian institute ancient
objects of scientific value, numbering sore
$500 specimens, such as decorated pottery,
basketry, elaborate ornaments made Of
shell and %turquois. stone implements and
similar objects. The ONLY metal found
was a copper bell, identical with those
made by old Mexicans, taken from a cen-
etery at Chavez Pass, ten feet below Tho
surface of the ground. Several hundred
skeletons were exhumed from the ruins
near Winslow, and a large collection CT
SKULLS Of the ancients have been sent to the
National museum. DR.. Fewkes regards
the ruins near Winslow as older than the
middle of the sixteenth century, as no ev-
idencs of Spanish or American Influence
was found In the excavations.

The contention of the attorneys for th
Atlantic & Pacific bondholders was that
Judge Collisr's court as the court of pri-
mary jurisdiction had full power to con-
clusively adjudicate all questions. and that
1t was the duty of the court Of auxiliary
Jurisdiction to follow Judge Collier's rul-
ings without attempting to exercise any
independent judgment as to their correct
ness. Judge Ross handed down an~opinion
sustaining this contention and decided that
he would follow all rulings made by Judge
Collier in the courts in New Mexico, which
Is in effect a final determination OF the
case in both the southern and northern
districts Of California. The decree will
follow the New Mexico decree, and will
appoint o. N. Marion, Of Albuquerque, to
! sell the road, and the sale will take place
at Gallup, as directed in the New Mexico
| decree.

Correctly Spoken

From the Roswell Record.
The Pecos Valley is all right despite
the hard times. Nearly everybody
takes sugar in their'n and it goes with
out saying that we can produce the
sugar. TIE sugar beet crop now matur-
ing 10 the valley is equal to that of any
section in these United States. This
years crop is largely experimental,
but even at that the crop will tax the
capacity Of the factory at Eddy. We
have assurances from headquarters that
another factory, with a capacity double
that at Eddy, will be built in the valley
in time to take care of next years crop.
This factory will probably be erected at
Roswell, but next years. crop will be
fully up to the capacity of the W fac
tories, and by 1898 a third factory will
be a necessity. The Pecos Valley is a
great country

FOR CLEANER H

There is one thing in the campaign
that THE OPTIc notices with regret,
and that is that some of the hot-heads
are beginning to use personalities
against their political opponents. This
should never be resorted to in politics,
unless some man who is seeking to OBJ.
tain the control Of affairs IS morally IN
fit to do SO. But to men whom we
know to be our equals in honesty and
integrity, why not attribute to them
motives as honest as we believe our
own TO beP Anything but a fair fight
on the issue involved is degrading and
belittles the cause for which we are
working.
THE Optic serves notice on all who
desire to obtain space in this paper for
the publication of their views, that
their articles will fnd a resting place
In the waste basket il they contain
anything that reflects uDjustly upon the
character or motives Of others.

A FEW evenings since at South
Bend, Ind, the South Bend Telephone
company connected its patrons, free OF
charge, with instruments placed in a
tent where a campaign speech was be-
ing made at Indianapolis. In that
way, auditors at o hundred residence
telephones listened to the address, and
the music of the band, and the rush
and hustle incident to a large gathering
Of men and women. According TO the
Western Electrician, the company has
decided to give Its patrons the princi-
pal speeches of both parties during the
balance Of the campaign. Transmit
tiers we're arranged in large tunnels
above the front Of the speakers tent,
and with the exception Of such times
as the orators voice sans almost to q
whisper, his words came over the wires
clear and distinct, puuctuated by the
applause, laughter and shouts OF the
audience. At the close Of the speech,
a babel Of voices aud sounds were a

castle jibes at the enemy, laughter,
coughs and many other sounds incl'

We wish to state to the good people Of
Las Vegas and vicinity, that the means tc
build the Sanitarium have been provided
for, but we are without means to furnish
the building. We have concluded, there
fore, to hold a fair during Thanksgiving
week. to raise funds with which to furnish
the building. We are dependent on the
generosity Of the public to accomplish this
purpose;a and desire to state that we do not
expect to get the necessary mount by
large donations, but by the mite from the
many. Hence, we hope that none will re-
fuse to assist us. This is a public institu-
ton by which all will be benefited, and In
which all should feel an interest.

the purpose of hunting stray horses.
AS he had not returned by the follow

felt concerning his safety, and that
day a searching party, headed by @.

him. He was supposed to be In the
Black river district, and that section
was gone over Sunday, the search
continuing Monday morning. Some
of his effects were found, but he could

ing word was brought to Eddy by

REPUBLICAN MONEY PLANK 1894

We affirm that the reconciliation of all
yer has not only reduced the value of thai
metal, but by increasing the purchasing
power of gold, has cor~respondingly de-
pressed the value of all products and COM
modities and increased the burden of all
debts, thus crushing the agricultural and
other producing classes, as we'll as the ell
yer miners of the country, and no perma-
nent return of general prosperity can be
expected until bi-metaIlism Is re-estab-
lished by the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver, as it existed from che
foundation of the government to the year
1873, at the ratio of 16 to 1, which we insist
| shall be done without waiting for the CO.
operation of any nation or nations, and we
call upon all opponents of silver to point
to any good that has come to this country
or the world at large by demonetizing
silver.
We arraign Grover Cleveland as The
arch enemy of silver coinage. and the
chief supporter in this country Of the
mono.metallic creditor class of Europe;
for the corrupt use Of the executive power
and patronage in coercing the action Of
congress OIL the repeal of the Sherman
purchase act; and for the veto of the bill
to coin the government silver now lying
useless in the treasury, and we charge that
the democratic party, while having SUI
preme power in the governm emit, has not
passed any measure whatever favorable to
silver coinage, or to the lessening Of the
burdens of the people.
