Bob TAYLOR has declared tEat he is
for the "free, independent and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at a ratio Of IS to
)" but the Nashville Sun is not salts
fed because he did not take pains to
emphasize the fact that such coinage
should be had independently of the ac-
ton of all other nations. Gritty on
Pleadings could not split hairs on terms
more infinitely than the Sun, 1t has
assumed that Bob is opposed to its ex-
act financial requirements and it gives
the benefit of the doubt to its own as
sumption. In its mind suspicion turks
behind Bob's every word and act. 1t
will never be satisfied perhaps until
Bob signs and swears to a money aft
davit of its own drawing. The hair
splitting of the Sun has been ridicu-
lous from the beginning; it is now be-
coming monotonous. All the other
silver men are satisfied with Bob's fl
nancial views and certainly all of them
combined ought to be equal to the Sun
as representative of the y.-Chat

The movement started by Senator
Hawley, of Connecticut, to take the
printing of the postage stamps away
from the bureau Of printing and en-
craving at Washington, and give it to
the lowest private bidder is making
rapid progress and if the friends of real
economy in public expenditures do not
watch their p's and as the schemers
will get it through. 1t is difficult to
understand how any man can have the
cheek to stand up and advocate this
step backward in the face of the adyan-
tages the government has gained by
taking charge of this work. The
stamps are better printed, there are
more safeguards around their distribu-
ton, and considerably more than 500,

Special Term Of the District Court
Called to Open in Taos County ON
Oct. l-Mandamus Proceedings
Before Judge Laughlin.

Judge Laughlin has issued an order for
a special term of the district court for
Taos county, to open at Taos on the 1st
of October. The venires for grand and
petit jurors were issued by Clerk WHY'S
yesterday and forwarded to the sheriff of
the county named for service. The term
is called for one week or more. It will
probably continue about ten days.
Mandamus proceedings were brought
before Judge Laughlin in cham bers yester-
day to compel the superintendent of
schools of Taos county, James Abreu, to
recognize the election of two school d.
rectors whom he claims were not legally
elected. The case is entitled The Terri
tory of New Mexico ex rel Francisco
Duran vs.. James Abreu, county superin-
tendent of of schools of Taos connty.
1t appears that in one of the districts
of Taos county the county superinten-
dent declines to recognize two of the d.
rectors alleged to have been chosen at
the election in June, on the ground that
everybody voted, when the law distinctly
provides that only those who have paid
their taxes are entitled to vote at such
elections, the contention being that the
old directors should hold over, and this
action is brought to force the issuance of
certificates of election to the new direc-
tors.
The mandamus will be argued before
Judge Laughlin tomorrow, Gen. Bartlett
appearing for the plaintiff and A. B. Rem
chan for the county superintendent.
