POOR OLD MEXICO.

In speaking of Gov. Stover's letter,
and incidentally of the conditions exist.
ing in Old Mexico, Hon. NJ. S. Otero
said to Citizen reporter:
II was going to chihuahua with Mr..
Fant of Texas. Al FL Paso we inquir
cd the price OF sleeping car berths to
chihuahua, and were told it was two
dollars payable in greenbacks We had
twenty dollars changed and received
thirty-six dollars in Mexican silver.
Then we crossed into Mexico and
bought our sleeping car tickets for two
dollars in Mexican silver. Railroad fare
and hotel Accommodations cost the same
in Mexico as here. Rates at the best
hotels with good accommodations are
three dollars per day. Why, man who
wants to spend the winter in a mild
climate, and who has, say only one bun
dred dollars, eau go to III Paso and buy
one hundred and seven.y.f five dollars
worth OF Mexican silver, aud then 90 to
Chihuahua or Monterey aud spend the
winter and bny just as much for that
money, dollOr for dollar. as he can here
with dollar Of our currency. | do net
zee why they call Mexican silver chcap
dollars, for you can buy as much there
with them as az you can here with your
own money which is based on gold
standard"
"What was the condition of the work
ing people?"
I'VE wore all standing on the str, ct
and saw somo men going by with
ROSTERS under their AIMS. Mr.. Fant
told me TO ask whore the men were
going aud we we're told tboy were going
to cock fight. Out of curiosity we
went too. and thero we saw every pclado
had ten, fifteen or twenty dollars to bot
on the fight. That night we vent into Il
saloon and the roulette tables there had
donbie Numbers, that IL table on oach
side OF the wheel to give more room to
the players, and all the tables we're
crowded. Now, as it is we'll known.
only the surplus money appears 10 gam.
bling houses, you can judge from that
as to how the people arc liked for money

TO BE WITHOUT A SENATOR.

After tiftythee fruitless ballots for a
| United States senator to succeed Sena-
tor Blackburn on the 4tb of March, 1897,
the Kentucky Legislature closed ita
session yesterday in constitutional linn
itation
The Constitution has kept its readers
fully posted on the daily developments
which have taken place at Frankfort in
what has been the stormiest session
ever held by general assembly in Ken
tucky-a session probably without par
allel in the Legislative records of the
union.
Senator Blackburn was nominated by
the caucus of democratic members, re-
ceiving an overwhelming majority of the
votes OF the caucus. Five of the gold
standard democrats refused to support
him, though others who disagreed with
his Vi We on the currency question were
sufficiently loyal to their party to abide
by the action of it's caucus
Several times during the ballotiug
Senator Blackburn received within two
OF enough votes to elect him, ard the re-
calcitrant five democrats, acting IN har
mony with the desire of the sec, etary,
OF the treasury, Hon. ]. G. Carlisle, OF
Kentucky, refused to give him their
support, with which his m ljority would
have been three.
The session is now over, and while the
boiling gold standardsts have the salts
faction of knowing that they have de.
feated Senator Backburns reelection
they lack the consolation that would
have boon derived from the SUCCESS of
their scheme TO elect Secretary Carlisle
by joining their five votes with the
solid votes of the republicans, could the
combination have been effected. These
five democrats were ready at any tine
to betray their party to elect Carlisle,
but be it said to the credit of tho repub-
licans they refused to enter into such an
unholy alliance.-Atlanta Constitution

GOOD PHILOSOPHY,

Last year as one of our citizens was
driving from the Carrizozo ranch with a
dead beat who was doing" this part of
the country, the conversation drifted to
the subject OF liberality and charity
Ihe d b announced that he
believedin in helping man when IN need
and insisted that he would always divide
his last meal OF niciyle with his fellow
mau.
The eentlt man with whom he was
riding replied that this was very good
philosophy, but that he had noticed
that those who were, generally. the
most vigorous in its advocacy, never
had anythil G to divide. We very often
hear similar declarations of the liberal.
lty OF certain people, but tLey almost
universally strike you for an accommo-
datlon, or in other words, expect you to
he generous to them, while they Tee their
tongues, only, in the matter of libcralty.

EXCELLENT ADEICE.

The Las Vegas Optic reviews the min.
ing situation throughout the country
and shows by the history OF nearly all
the famous camps Of the past or present.
that all the great discoveries have been
made in districts that had been gone
over many times before, aud had been,
as miners cay, "thorOughly prospected."
1t calls attention to discoveries that are
now heirg made almost every day in To-
calities which the experts had passed
over as hopelefs, and then urges those
who are out Of employment TO GO to the
hills aud try tLeir luck. 1t says:
"Perons out OF employment, with n
cheup camping outfit, would find pleas
ure IN the mountains and might be
richly rewarded. Let all give encour.
agement to mining companies and en-.
terprises. The example OF Colorado is

A correspondent writes to kno W
whether the Albuquerque Democrat is
in favor of the coinage of silver lG to /
with gold, single gold standard, bimet-
alsm under international agreement, or
straddle. The EAGLE is prepared to
furnish a great many kinds of informa-
ton but is sorry to say that this is one
of the profound secrets Of that Office
and even the fraternity cannot get an
intimati1n on the subject. Our CORES
pendent will therefore have to ask us
something easier.
White Oaks eagle. (White Oaks, N.M.) 189?-190?, 1896-03-26

SO far, with the exception of the
White Oaks EAGLE, the Record has had
no second for its contention for good
material for Legislative candidates. We
earnestly hope that the territorial press
will roalize the Importance of this. We
cannot expect good legislation without
We se,cct good men men who have the
interests of our territory at heart, as
members OF the legislature. 1t has been
too common Il custom to place good
fellers' on the legislative ticket, simpl,
because they bad influence with the
boys. The necessity for good legislation
is just rs urgent as the necessity for the
execution Of the laws now IN force.
Can we expect good legislation unless
We send good men TO the legislature? ?
Men are elected to tho legislature OF
New Mexico evory two years who could

bling reliable Information concerning
this locality it will be necessary to

present one seems unable to tell the
truth ana always gets as far from il as
he conveniently can. He seeks no in
formation from sources where reliability
could be expected aud appears to desire
only such as will accomplish the most
injury possible to this community and
individuals here.

Beatty's Organs and Pianos since

Cheap metropolitan Papers.

There is no excuse nowadays for a
citizen failing to subscribe for great
metropolitan news paper in addition
to taking his own country paper.
The "Twice-a-Week" Republic of St.
Louis, which is credited with the
largest circulation of any weekly
paper, is only 81 a year, and for this
sum 1t sends two papers week, or
1O4 papers a year-less than one cent
each. The weekly contains the best
and brightest news condensed from
the daily paper, together with a well
assorted collection of reading matter
and useful information. A popular
feature in its columns this year will
be the speeches of prominent men in
the presidential campaign. These
will be given almost in full. Areader
of the "Twice-a-Week" Republic
will always be abreast of the times,
for no paper has greater news gather
ing facilities.
The Daily and Sunday Republic
can now be had by mail for a little
more than one cent and a half day,
or s6 a year, when paid in advance.
Though this paper has greatly re-
duced it's price, it has increased its
value twofold by adding many valu-
able features.
