That Ii What the Federal Omciais, at
Santa Fe, Would Like TO Know,
According TO 40 to L."

TO the Editor of The Optic.
SANTA Fee, N. NJ, August 9Th.
"LoI ON q narrow neck OF land,
'Twixt two unbounded seas l stand,
Yet how lnsansiblel
removes ms to yon heavenly place.
or shuts me up IN nell.
That seems to be the position OF
some OF the federal officials at Santa
Fe since the nomination OF Bryan on a
silver platform.
They are all followers Of the meek
and lowly Grover, and devout students
Of his divine revelations on the cur
rency question, and, at the same time,
they have caught glimpses OF the band
wagon 10 the big procession, headed
by the dollar OF our daddies, and see
the immense throngs that are enthusi-
astically following, leading toward the
big white tent, where the pie counter Is
sure to be located next year.
Win the dog wag the tail, or will the
tail wag the dogP That's the ques-
ton now being revolved in their minds.
Whether fidelity to the chief, and to
the salIow faced goddess on the sunny
side Of the twenty, will bring them the
more substantial returns, or whether it
we're better to repudiate him from
whom all blessings have hitherto
flowed and to court the pale goddess
pictured on the top crust OF the fifty
cent dollar, (Which by the way, is still
worth 1000 up to date, with no pro :
pect of depreciating,) and link their
fate with her for better or for worse.
When Mr.. Bryan delivered his manly
argument on the silver question in
Santa Fe some time ago, and his posi-
bilities then seemed too remote and to
feeble to aver materiallze, there was
no difficulty in making q pious decis-
ion to stay with the big medicine man.
They ever gazsd down from their lofty
heights upon the top of Mr.. Bryan's
head and pitied him in his seemingly
helpless struggle against the stream.
but now that the great tide of human
sentiment has turned and he is being
borne triumphantly on the silvery
waves of popularity toward the haven
Of his hopes. they may be seen scratch
ing their backs against the sandstone
pillars on the front porch of the federal
building and gazing thoughtiully down
their noses, whistling.
'Grover loves me, this l know;
My appointment tolo me SO, etc.
1t IL said that a certain federal OIL
cial, who was also mayor Of a certain
city, would not, as mayor, introduce
Mr.. Bryan to the audience on the occa-
sion of his delivering an address in said
city, because he did not wish to en-
courage the craze, and because having
his piece OF pie firmly gripped with
both hands, he could not for q moment
let go.
Now 1t is supposed that said ex-
mayor has bit down on a cherry stone
in the pie and has his jaw done up iu a
sling.
Some Of the said officials are con.
structed like a crawish, and are stand
ing prepared to start either way, and
some of them are built more like a
crab and are "jumping sideways" but
it is thought that most of them are pre-
pairing to come In at the finish and
claim the trophy. Yours,

HOW WILL THEY HAVE 1T?

Since there is doubtless O desire on
the part of a large majority of those on
both sides of the money question, that
it should be discussed fairly and hon.
estly with the end in view of ascertain
ing the truth regardless Of who may be
hurt, it would simplify matters greatly
if the supporters of the gold standard
would elect OIL what ground they ex-
pect to rest their case says the Topeka
Journal.
Under free and unlimited coinage of
silver, will the silver dollar be a fifty
cent dollar or will IL be doubled in
value, thus enriching the silver mine
owner.
Hitherto, when cornered on one pro-
position they have fastened to the
other. Both cannot be maintained at
the same time. The ahsnrd position
in which the gold advocates have
placed themselves in the discussion of
this phase Of the subject, has done
more than anything else to acceler-
ate the growth of the silver sentiment.
II the silver dollar will be doubled
in value, as Henry Clews says 1t will,
then it will be as good as ssany other
dollar" even the gold dollar, which is
said TO be worth twice as much. Since,
according to the views of the gold men,
the value OF gold never changes, all
that is necessary to bring about a
parity between the metals is to double
the value OF silver. This, a large num-
Der Of gold men and gold newspaper
organs say Con some occasions) free
and unlimited coinage Of silver will do.
II, on the other hand, ssyou can not
put value into anything by legislation, "
and the silver dollar will remain a 90
cent dollar under free coinage. then
the silver miners will get nothing out

BI-METAII!9M
STATEHOOD.
SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 8, 1896
WHERE WE STAND.

The Las Vegas OPTIC wants the republic
cans of this Territory to adopt the demo-
cratic platform and call it republican, and
try to elect a delegate to ongress on such
a double deal. Not much! II the republic
cons of this Territory cannot endorse the
republican platform, the best ever made
by the republican party in national CON
vention assembled, then the party in this
Territory will deserve defeat, and the
statehood bill, now favorably reported In
congress, will deserve to be thrown into
the waste basket when Mckinley is elect
ed.-Albuqaerque Citizen.
If the Citizen m~isconstrues facts in
other of its editorials as it has done in
the above, it deserves the weak inf1u-
ence that characterizes it.
There is not one reader of The Optic
who does not know that this paper
stands firmly on republican principles,
su ,h as have been in every Territorial
and national platform of that party for
twenty years. Those are, protection
and bi-metallism.
We have not changed our views TO
conform to the triokery of q few east
ern capitalists, or to please a few fed
eral Office. seekers of this Territory.
We are republican to-day, the same
as we were two years ago, and will be
satisfied with the same platform that
the Citizen fought for at that time.
All that we ask of the republicans Of
New Mexico is, to adopt such a plat.
form, nominate candidates who hearth
ly support it, and thus keep TO the
faith they have followed in years past.

The majority of the planters how
ever, oppose annexation. They fully
believe that Hawaii is only fit for
coolies aud hired plantation man
ayers. Annexation which would
mean an end to cheap Asiatic labor
has no charm for them whatever.
The Hawaiians from Puma to Niihau
are opposed to sacrificing the indie
pendence OF their country, and even
if the annexation boomers poured
out in solid cash the amount which
was used to elect Mckinley, the
Hawaiian vote could not be bought
when the question of national honor
is at issue.
