EXTRAVAGANCE,
In the SherifSS Office
In Conveying Prisoners to the PEN
itenitary,

$3.50 piece for taking conyicts
from the Marion county Jail to the
penitentiary, both Institutions on a
State street, electric car line, is a
little high.
Fifty cents line for a 1900 to 1000
line tax sale is also charging about
five prices to tax payers by the sheriff.
Are these statements facts?
In Tuesday 'S'JoURNAL appears the
statement that a deputy sheriff of
Douglas county brought two burg
lars to the state prison with one
guard. Inquiry shows that this is
a general custom to save expenses
when it can be done.
At the recent term of court in this
county Judge Burnett sentenced nine
cOnyicts. They were sentenced as far
as possible in pairs, as for instance:
Murray and Weston Oct. l5;Allen and
Jones Oct. 10; Battenberg and Libby
Oct. %. The records at the peniten-
tiary show that in spite of the evident
intention Of Judge Burnett and prac-
tice Of other counties, Sheriff Wright
man took the prisoners one each day
and the bill for each one is as follows:
Sheriff per diem. em................ SO 90
Hack hire 80. .............,... 2 80

REPUBLICANS AFRAID.

at Is most natural thing for the Republi-
cans of New Mexico to be afraid of Democratic
officials having the ma nagement of elections,
for but one short year ag, Secretary Lorion
Miller, with the connivsnee of other federal
officials, SO manipulated to wearing In of the
legislative ass mbly, as 10 turn two-thires
Republican majority, honestly elected, into a
Democratic majority"
The above which we quote from an
editorial in the Ell Paso Herald is a
brief presentation OF long drawn out
asseveration which for several months
past has been proclaimed and reiterated
by the Republican press OF this terri
tory.
The fact is that Secretary Miller, in
the organization Of the last legislative
assembly, administered the oath to no
one who did not present to him a GER
tiiicate of his election from tho legally
constituted authorities. Mr.. Miller did
what the law required OF him and moth.
ing more. IL there was any wrong COM
mitted in the organization referred to it
was not by the territorial secretary. He
acted upon each case as it was presented
to him and as the law compelled HIM to
act.
How marked is tho contrast between
the fair and impartial conduct of Mr..
Miller and that of Secretary Ritch in
1884, when, by the most fragrant abuse
of his power, be declined to administer
the oath Of Office to Judge H. L. War.
rem who had beon elected to the council
by large majority OF the votes OF Santa
Fe county over Thomas B. Catron. In
this case there was no question as to the
fairness of Judge Warren's election
he held the certificate in due form,
but by the corrupt action of O
debased Republican secretary, he was
deprived OF his office. his constituents
OF their chosen representative and
the Democratic party Of the territory
were thereby cheated out OF the organi
cation Of the upper house OF the
assembly, to which they were entitled.
These same high moral editorial
writer's approved the outrage Of Secre
tsry Ritch, but now, because members oil
their own political party have not sue
ceeded in their schemes to defeat tn,
people OF representation by those VIII,
were fairly elected, they raise howl o
fraud and attempt to cast odium upon al
honest official who has doue only hi
duty under his oath OF oiilce.

CONSISTENT,

The goldbug is what the late lament
ed Artemas Ward would have called an
"amoozin' cues." He has been vocifer-
ously demanding the redemption of all
other forms of currency in gold coin and
has abused those who advocated the
double standard as frauds, cranks and
the like, but now this same guldbug is
seriously evolving from the capacious
cavities of his head, scheme by which
the national banks shall be required to
keep as a reserve fund for the payment
of their deposits only United States
trt asury notes instead of the "honest
money" in which he has heretofore in
sisted all other currency should be re.
deemed. II You give these wise finan
ciers rope enough they will surely hang
Themselves. But the danger is that
before they get done tinkering with the
money of the country they will fix upon
us the worst Of wild cat currencies and
base the security of deposits ON the in
dividuHl checks of the bank presidents.
They have swung the financial pendu-
lum to one extreme and now, as it re-
turns, il is likely to reach the other ex.
tremity with the momentum attained.
In the meantime the advocates Of silver
coinage, as ever, occupy q conservative
position opposed to extremes in either
direction.

NO STATEHOOD YET.

It must be relief to some of the talk
ers for statehood to know that there is
now no hope for the enactment Of the
bill pending in the present congress
There is nothing whatever but senti-
ment and two U. S. senators in the pro-
position and we are sure that many OF
the pretended advocates Of present ad-
mission care very little for statehood
after al Now that defeat is assured

improvement OF the existing state OF
things and try to show the fitness ol

UNUSUAL ADMISSION,

Our friend Capt. Collier, editor OF that
leading Republican organ, the Ration
Range, has been guilty of the indiscre-
ton OF acknowledging that he knows "of
number of reputable, influential and
intelligent Democrats" We did not
suppose any Republican could be found
who would dare to make such an avowal
All Democrats, in the opinion of mem
bers of the opposition party, are ignor-
ant, disreputable and without influence
Capt. Collier will be read out OF his
party if he makes many admissions OF
this sort.

THE MATTER OF STATEHOOD.

unquestionably, the most important natter
to the people of New Mexico is statehood.
without IL, we can obtain neither an increase
Of population nor the financial Investment
that is necessary for our progress and
welfare.
The above from an Optic editorial,
embraces the gist OF the grounds on
which the advocates of statehood baee
their support OF tho measure. As tho
EAGLE has heretofore said, il il were true
that "without it, We can obtain neither
an increase. Of population nor the finan.
cial investment that is necessary for our
progress sad welfare" aud IL with state.
hood We could attract and secure these
desirable elements to our society, we
should be almost persuaded" to favor
immediate admission. But as the EAGLE
has already shown by official statistics,
the proposition made by the Optic is
absolutely without foundation. The
official stathtics heretofore published
by this paper show conclusiyely that
stutcs do not attract population nor ac,
cumulate wealth more rapidly than theft
ueighboring territories under similar
conditions in other respects. This tslL

DIVIDING FORCES.

The friends OF the unlimited coinage
OF silver. all with the best intentions, no
doubt, appear to be pursuing lines OF
policy which must lead them into GER
tain defeat. No cause, however jnst,
can be advanced, no undertaking, how
ever practicable, can be consumated
without some approach to concerted
action, on the part OF its advocates, in
the work OF accomplishment. Friends
OF free coinage seem to have lost sight
Of this necessary element of u successful
campaign in behalf of silver.
The accredited representatives, of the
Democratic party, until recently,
through all the struggles for the pres
ervation of bimeta allism and throughout
the financial legislation by congress to
reduce and contract the peoples cur
rency, have been found on the side OF
silver and against the incursions of the
money power. There was never any
question as to how the masses Of DEM
ocrats stood on this important subject
until four years ago when, through a
mistaken notion of how best to accom-
plish the desired results and restore the
white metal to it's rightful place in the
money Of the country, many Democrats
left the ranks OF their party and organ
lied Independently, thus dividing the
silver forces and making it possible for
the single standard phlanx to assume
the control OF the party machinery and
to dictate its policy along the financial
lines of Rcpublicanism.
II these deserters had stood by their
friends in the party they could have
saved it aud the country from the dis,
asters of the past three years. II they
and all friends Of silver will now join the
ranks OF Democrats in the south and
west and assist in the selection OF del
egates to the Chicago convention they
can yet restore the former money status
and relieve the country from the present
| financial straits.
II all these 80 called silver organiza.
tions insist, each in going its own pecul.
lar route. nothing can be accomplished
in the direction they pretend to be trav-
cling and the gold standard advocates
always under discipline and thoroughly
organized, will, as in the past, still fur
ther draw the country into the vortex OF
of financial di fficulties. The only hope
for silver is through the Democratic
party and nothing can be looked for il
this direction except by the concert &c
efforts of its friends in controlling itl
primaries and directing the course o
the party in it's local and national con
ventions. Will you help?

He Takes Out Big Policy ON the Life
of the Duchess.
The report that the young duchess oil
Marlborough (nee VanderbilD was to
have her life insured for the benefit OF
the duke is confirmed in a private let
ter, says the New York Recorder. The
amount is 100000. An application
has been made and medical report
submitted, but so far as known the in
surance companies have not passed up
on 1t. The probabilities are that they
will accept the risk, for they will re-
ceive big premium and get other ben
efits. Besides, British companies like
to mortgage the lives of the aristocracy.
This will be one of the largest, if not
the largest Of risks ever taken. 1t will
undoubtedly be underwritten by syn
dictate. Two or three weeks ago a re-
port was cabled that the duchess was
III In Rome and he condition was such
that an emin MUSICIAN had been
summoned froLI London. Both state
ments were promptly denied and the
report was evidently based on the visit
Of the insurance medical examiners TO
the duchess. 1t was about that time
that Sir Dyce Duckworth, M. D., IL.
D., honorary physician to the Prince of
Wales, rece ed commission from the
Insurance mpanies' representatives
to proceed Rome and examine the
duchess. Mrs. Hamersley mar
ried the late re of Marlborough here
and went to In London she eX-
pended $1,500,Uc0 In restoring the pal
ace of Blenheim and, by way of indem-
nifty, she, at the suggestion Of her
American solicitors, took out a policy
on her husbands life for 100000. 1t
was denied by the Marlborough family
that any Of the Hamersley money was
used to rejuvenate the palace and 1t was
asserted that the expense was borne
by the Marlborough estate. Whoever
circulated the story doubtless had in
mind the mortgage on the dukes life
Those close to the Vanderbilts say that
they are not particularly we'll pleased
by this latest development and Mrs.
Alva Vanderbilt-Belmont has written
very matter-of-fact letter to her daugh-
ter on the subject. Her father will
probably have his say in person when
