SATURDAY. FEBRUARY s.
DEMOCRACY'S STAND.

Resolutions unanimously adopted by
the territorial Democratic committee in
session at Santa Fe February 5, 1896:
Resolved, That the Democratic party
of the territory of New Mexico is heartily
in favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, equally with gold, at the ratio
of 16 to /, without waiting for the action
or consent of any other nation, and that
we invite all believers in such bi-metall-
ism in New Mexico to attend our pri-
maries and act with the Dem ocratic party
in striving to attain this great relief to
the common people.
Resolved. That it is the earnest desire
of this committee that New Mexico be
admitted to the Union at the earliest
practical moment, and that we pledge our
unqualified support and bespeak the sup
port of the Democ party of this ter
rltory to any just measure looking to
that end, believing that the interests of
oil of the people of the territory would
be advanced thereby.
Resolved, That We commend the &C.
tion of the recent Republican territorial
committee with reference to statehood as
eminently fair and just and stand ready
to lend our heartiest support to any bill
framed on the broad and generous lines
therein laid down; but we unqualifiedly
oppose and denounce as unfair and un-
just tie apportionment feature of the
bill for the admission of New Mexico
into the Union as a state, provided for 10
the bill introduced at the present session
Of congress by the delegate from New
Mexico.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse and
commend the manly and patriotic
message of President Cleveland on
the Venezuelan question, and his
interpretation of the Monroe doc
triue as the truest kind of American
ism. We furthermore congratulate the
president on his courageous position on
the tariff question, and We declare our
selves in favor of the true tariff for reve.
nue. measures.
Resolved, That the income tax seems
to US to be the equitable distribution of
the expenses of our government, and the
only way to place the just share on those
who derive the most benefit from the
protection which our government affords.
Resolved, That we regard with pride
the excellent administration of our terri
tory ard It's enV1aDle record under
Democratic head in the promotion of
Justice and the protection of the lives
and property of our citizens; and we
close with an appeal to all Democrats to
stand together, and not listen to the siren
voice of radicals and Populists who are
bent upon the destruction of our party
and the formation of mushroom growth
with but one idea. The Democratic
party is the bulwark of the rights and
safety of the people, and it's existence is
the assurance of popular government in
these United States.

senator Elect Money.

Senator George, of Mississippi, upon
being asked yesterday his views concern
ing the election of Hon. fernando D..
Money to the senate as his successor,
said:
II know Mr.. Money we'll, and have
known him from my boyhood. He has
been my neiRhbor for many years. Our
intercourse and communications on po-
litical sub ects have been frequent and
confidential. have had opportunity to
Judge of the man from my point of view.
He ia of unblemlshed honor and of the
strictest integrity, we'll read in literature
and in the political history of the coun-
try. His native ability of the best, and
his courage, moral and physical, unques-
toned. predict with confidence that
his career in the senate will establish his
right to be classed in the ranks of states
men, and at the close of it the popular
verdict will be that Mississippi will have
had no public servant since the war ADLER
than he.
"He has had my sympathy in his race
for the senate, although took no step to
secure his election."- Washington Post.

CAR REED "ACIN" US.

The Reed house committee on terri
tories will probably vote the fate of the
bill for the admission of New Mexico as
a state on Monday next.
There are eleven Republicans and -four
Democrats on this committee, and &C.
cordingly the Republicans are absolute
masters of the situation.
1t is said that Speaker Reed has in
structed the committee not to permit the
two members thereof who are territorial
delegates to vete when the question comes
up as to whether the bills shall be re-
ported back to the house favorably or
unfavorably.
This is taking-snap judgment with a
vengence, and it is therefore not at all
likely that the committee will favorably
report on the admission of New Mexico
However, let US hope for the best.

The anti-prize-fRht bill became law
yesterday, receiving the presidents sig
nature at 4:S0 p. m. Attorney General
Harmon Immediately advised Gov. Thorn
ton of the fact by wire. This prompt ac-
ton on the part of congress and the
president relieves the territorities of a
very embarrassing predicsment. As it
was they we're putting upa pretty good
bluff to keep the prize fighters out, but
when the Ell Paso Ministers union "gave
the snap away" they we're forced to ap-
peal to Washington. The result lie most
gratifying.

PRESS COMMENT.
An Upper Cut for Col. Hughes.

An Upper Cut for Col. Hughes.
1t is enough to make a horse laugh,
says the NEW MEXICAN, of Santa Fe, to
hear the Albuquerque Citizen prating
about morality. Its editor must have
dived deep into that subject since he re-
tired from the postmastershlp and took
a fresh course during HIS recent confine-
ment in the Bernalillo Jail. May be so.
A change has certainly come over Broth
er Hughes. Let Va remember that he
was first to advocate that the prize fight
come west, and offered inducements to
have it pulled off at Albuquerque.-El

SAID TO BE THE LARGEST VESSEL
BUILT BY ANY FIRM.
Displacement of 10000 Tons-6,OOO In
dicated Horse Power - Enormous
Capacity for Passengers.

The new steamer launched lately at
Belfast for the Hamburg-American
line brings us back very nearly, if not
quite, to the Great Eastern. saws the
St. James Budget. The Pennsylvania
is a twin-screw steamer of 10000 tons
displacement and 10000 tons carrying
capacity, 5s5 feet long, 81 feet beam
and AZ feet deep. The vessel is the
largest ever built by Harland d Wolff
or any other firm in the world. The
machinery for the steamer is being
also constructed by Harland &c Wolff,
and is specially designed to avoid all
vibration by the adoption of four
cylinders and a special arrangement of
the cranks, in the merit of which the
builders have such confidence that
they are at present engaged in the
construction of several sets of machin-
cry on the same principle. The ship
will be lighted throughout with cleo
eric light. The owners were repre-
scented on the occasion by Mr.. Van Der
Smissin and Captain Kopff. Her
weight at present is 5000 tons, but her
displacement will be little short Of
10000 tons. The engines will be quad
ripple expansion (Schlicl's patent),
with 5000 indicated horsepower, Civ
ing an average speed of fourteen knots
an hour. Trading between Hamburg
and New York she will accommodate
200 first class passengers, $50 second
class and 1000 steerage. These three
classes will have all modern comforts
provided for them, while her great di-
mansions have enabled her builders 10
increase the size of the dining rooms,
parlors and staterooms. as well as the
quarters for the ships officers and
men. The ship from stem to stern is
replete with every contrivance which
will make her easy to handle, comfort
able for passengers and crew and Sc
cure for goods. She is to be fitted
with seventeen steam winches On
deck, four steam cranes, while loading
and unloading will be carried on
through nine hatchways. The normal
pressure on the boilers viii be 21O
pounds to the square inch, and revert
ing to her engines it is worthy If
notice that the propeller shafting IS
230 feet in length, the longest known.

THE TUCSON RACES.
Interest In Cycling Confined to the
Ancient Pueblo.

June 2 will be hello the great circuit
races at the cycle track at Tucson. 1t
will be an especially noteworthy event,
from the fact that both Phoenix and
Ill Paso have fallen down on the propo-
elton of raising the necessary funde,
and Tucson will thereby be the only
southwestern circuit town from Fort
Worth to Los Angeles. The meet is in
the hands OF the most enthusiastic
cyclers, among them Charlie Hoff and
COnsui Pinney will go over from Phoe-
nix to referee the races. Several Of the
local rapid riders will probably ALEC be
in attendance, as the trip over the desert
can easily be made 10 day, and the
prizes are sufficient to warrant the time.
Sill, none OF the local men are in good
training and they are not to be expected
to sweep the field, as was their wont IN
the days pact.
Ii is peculiar that as bicycles increase
in number 10 Phoenix interest 10 racing
dimlnishes. 10 the city today are twice
the nu % Der OF wheels there where when
the lads Of this CITY took all the records
10 the amateur class and yet there are
no funds for q meet and little interest
would probably be taken in one should
it be secured. II would seem that the
bicycle has reached point where it is
considered strictly 10 the light Of neces-
sity and no longer has any prominent
position as q vehicle of pleasure.-Re-

ed 10 Solomonville. The occasion was q
concert given for the benefit OF the
Mexican Presbyterian church, the
corner stone Of which was laid that day.
The entertainment consisted OF sopgs
and recit ,tions, followed by an ice cream
festival, all of which was most pleasing
to tboes in attendance and financially
satisfactory to the management.
Among the most prominent Of the
ladies who took part was Miss Blanche
Solomon, who, 10 her usual attractive
way recited very effectively, aud after
wards presided over the ice cream
portion OF the entertainment. Courte-
ous, vivacious. pretty and entertaining,

further to outsiders that the CHA

when the procession began to move
from the front OF the opera house block

Der of the cid time Var tunes in ex-
cellent style. A chorus sang patriotic
songs that stirred the multitude to ap-
precistive applause.
General Sampson csme, and his
coming was hailed with delight. If
there is any subject upon which the
General dotes, it is the one he handled
on this occasion. His very heart and
soul are poured into an eloquent recital
OF the lessons taught by Americas
greatest struggle. At home, always, on
the platform. he never appears to better
advantage than as the champion Of the
heroes who so CALAMITY fought and died
for the preservation OF the Union. No
audience tires OF his talk, for it is full
Of interest from beginning to end. end

with the spirit Of the speaker. To hear
