New Mexico Politics.
From the Rocky Mountain News.

From the Rocky Mountain News.
The silver question in New Mexico,
as everywhere else, has split the poll
tics of that Territory wide open. The
mixed condition of affairs comes to the
surface in connection with nominations
for Territorial delegate to congress-.
At the populist convention, on
Wednesday, * Governor L. Bradford
Prince was nominated, and the middle.
Of. the-road fellows bolted. The PROF.
able democratic nominee is Fl. B. Fer.
gnsson, a well known lawyer. Tom
Catron, the present delegate, who has
so %variously and successfully misrepre.
scented the Territory for two years past,
has his grip on the republican machine
and will be re-nominated on a gold
platform. Ths middle-o -the-road pop.
ulists will put up a candidate, while it
lie not impossible that the silver repub-
licans will bolt the Catron convention
and indorse Prince. This would place
four candidates in the feld-Prince,
representing distinctively the silver
men; Ferguson, representing the
democracy; Catron, representing the
gold.bug republicans, and a middle. of.
the road popnlist.
In such a race Prince ought to be
elected He has always been a repub-
lican, but he has also been one OF the
leaders OF the silver fight in the west.
His speeches on the free coinage issue
are among the ablest that have been
delivered, and have exercised a wide
spread influence or popular sentiment
in this regard. He is also a man of
commanding ability, of pleasing per-
sonal address, Of experience 10 public
affairs, having served as chief justice
and governor Of the Territory and of
high personal character. Such charac-
teristics count for more In a Territorial
delegate than mere partisan politics.
Ex-Governor Prince is no more OF a
republican to-day than is Senator Tel
Ter, and if the men of all parties in
Colorado, save the McKinleyites, can
unite in favor of his return to the sem
ate, and also in favor of the return of
Bell and Shafroth, On account of their
services to the silver cause, it need
hardly be suggested that the populists
aud silver democrats and silver repub-
licans of New Mexico can do the same
thing, and, uniting in favor OF Prince,
do honor TO themselves and their Ter
ritory by according him a triumphant
election.

the man who must work for u living.
This brief editorial occurs In yester-
days Pueblo Chieffain. "There have
been 321 business failures In tho past
week, against 143 in the corresponding
week in 1892. Yet sundry men con-
tinue their in~fatuation' for sound
money" The Chieftain man evident
ly lays the blame for this increase OF
failures to sound money, when the fact
Is sound money has nothing TO do with
the present hard times. The Wilson
bill passed since the prosperous times
under republican rule in 1892, ana the
imbecility and incompetenoy of the
Cleveland administration, is RESPONSE
BILE tor, not only these increased fail
ures, but also for all Of the hardships,
privations, and miseries that have fall
len to the lot OF the working men and
che country, yet we are asked to put
another democrat into the presidential
chair, who.has declared that his I'M
ceasing efforts for tae esta blishment Of
free trade, will continue until free
trade Is an established fact. The gilt
tering promises made by the demo-
cratic party in 1892, led the people
sstray. They have seen their mistake,
and the elections held since 1892,
prove they earnestly atoned for their
folly. Bryan's ability to give staffy"
will fool no one. The public listens,
but their votes when counted on No.
vember 3rd, will prove that Bryan's
honeyed phrases, and fine promises
fell on unheedlng ears.

THE RArLRoAD MANS VOTE,

THE RAILROAD MANS VOTE.
1t is the cry Of the singie-standard
mon 10 the railroad employees that bpsi-
ness has been shut down on the road
for fear of the silver crs 20 and In two
weeks after the election, II silver has
been defeated, ali the idle men will be
re-employed. Now, on what founda-
tion could such a calculation be basedp
II the railroads are just now reducing
the number Of their employees, 1t is q
marvellous thing, for just 10Y the har-
vests are expected to be moved. The
reasonable conclusion is that the rail-
road managers, looking over the prices
which the staple food products Of the
country are bringing, see at a glance
that the farmers cannot send more than
a small proportion Of their crops to
market. In the west, with silver re-
stored, the railroad business would
double. They held up against their
tremendous debts until the crash of
1898 came, and when with the closing
of the India minis, silver fell down
fifteen points and the silver mines
had in great measure to stop their
works.
The best esource for a railroad is u
E LL
silver mining country in prosperous
times, because a big silver mine has to
have more stuff carried to it and more
stuff carried away than any other in
stitution. 1t is worth a township OF
fine agricultural land yes, it is better
for a railroad than half a dozen such,
because all that a farmer can ship
away at best is his surplus, while to a
mine there has to be carried timber,
and fuel and machinery, and tools for
the miners to work with, powder, can
dies, cil-no end of freight. Then
there has to be carried away the ore.
According to the statement Of an
engineer in this city, twelve engines
are now doing the work on the Rio
Grande division that, previous to 1898
required ifty-two engines, and the
statement of d. B. Robinson, late first
vice president of the Atchison, that the
mines of New Mexico were worth more
to the railroad than all the farms OF
Kansas is very conclusive as to what is
in store for the railroad man after the
election this fall.

The duration of sunshine in the va

discussed at a scientific meeting. It
was shown that Spain stands at the
head Of the list, having, or the aver
age, 5000 hours Of sunshine per year,
while Italy has 1850 hours, Germany,
100 hours and England, 1,400 hours.
There are several sections Of New

hours Of sunshine per year, and some

At the last garden party at Bucking-
ham Palace two American ladies were
rather unexpectedly presented to the
Princess Of Wales, who held out her
daintily gloved hand to them. The
strangers probably not having been
duly "coached", instead Of making a
curtsey and slightly shaking the ex-
tended hand, kissed it, much to the
surprise of the Princess.

They Draw Large Crowd But are Poo
BAH Players.
/ The largest crowd Of people which
ever visited the ball park assembled
Wednesday afternoon to see the game
between the Boston Boomers and the
Baragas. 1t Is hard to tell whether the
people assembled out of curiosity to see
the girls play ball, or to see the much
talked Of eloomin' boomers At any
rate they were there, and conspicuous
10 the crowd, as is usual on such &C.
casions, were several bald headed men,
with one hand tightly grasping ''spy

With the exception OF one or two
members, the Boomers are a poor lot OF
ball players, but as long as they 60
through the motions, draw crowds and
make money, they are apparently
satisfied.
The Baragas could easily have
doubled the points made, but just to
please the dear girls they closed the
score with % runs, while their OBJ

Contestants for the Land WIN Now Quar-
rel for the Cash Instead.

rel Ior the Cash Instead.
BY order Of the court the piece of land
known as section 20. township ~. range
30 west, was sold Saturday at public sale
TO the highest bidder.
The title 10 this property has been for
some time, and still is in dispute be-
tween tho Michigan Land IL Iron com
pany and three homesteaders. Richard
kunz, George Murphy and w. j. Grooms.
The land lies few miles south of Sid
I nav.
I How long the case might have dragged
along in court Is a matter OF conjecture
but when the forest fires Gaze in and
DESTROYED part OF the valuable timber IL
Is covered by, the court was not slow to
issue an order TO have the land sold. that
whoever In the future might win the land
should have something of value to com.
pensate him for his legal battle.
accordingly the court made an order
to sell the land before the timber should
be visited by a second fire. The land was
put up at auction Saturday forenoon.
Present were some ten or twelve lumber
men. all ofwhom were extensive operators.
The opening bid showed that the pace
was too fast for all but two. These were
John hester, bidding for the hester
estate,and q. A.Bergland. Nester finally !
got the land at $40, roo. which was Just
500 better than Bergland's last bid. |
The quantity OF merchantable timber on |
the section is variously estimated from
/ 400; 900 feet to 5000, 900 feet, but most
ofthe prospective purchasers inclined TO
the lower estimate.
The sale was a cash transaction and
the money will be paid into court mme-
iiately, to be finally disbursed when the
title TO the property Is established.
There are several other sections of land
,ear Sidnaw where the title Is under a
imilar cloud, but where the timber Is
being DESTROYED by forest fires. and an
order OF the court Is expected TO be is
'ued Tuesday for the sale of the land

The Financial Declarations of the
Two Platforms Contracted.

The Financial Declarations Of the
Two Platforms Contrasted.
IA tho campaign progresses thought
iul men are continually asking what
Is the essential difference between tho
two great parties on tho money quea-
ton. They are not satigied with the
yaporinga Of the subsidized Ropubli-
can prosG, consisting Of assertion with
out argument, which loudly proclaim
that the Republican party iC for
Sound money" whatever that may
mean, and that their opponents are
swindlers, repudiatore and lunaties.
Party lines are hanging loosely In
this campaign and thinking voters,
more than ever before, are trying 10
get at the real foundations Of the
issue.
To such II may not be out OF place
to call attention to the platforms Of
the parties.
In 1883 and 1892 the Republican
party declared for the use Of both
silver and gold as money. In 1896
they changed front and declared that
they we're for the 'existing gold
standard" until q change could be
brought about by agreement with the
leading commercial Nations Of the
world. The Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago on the other hand
declares 1--WE favor the coinage Of both
gold and silver at the present legal
ratio of sixteen to one without wait
ing for the consent of any other
Nation"
Thus we have presented the essential
difference between the two great
parties on the money question. The
one declares for existing conditions
until the consent of foreign Nations
to a change can be obtained the other
in effect declares that the United
States is great enough and strong
enough to maintain its own financial
policy without the consent of any
other Nation on earth.
Every man who has faith in the
strength and greatness of his country
must believe that the Democratic
declaration is the right one.
Even so jealous q Republican
partisan as John Russell Young, in q
recent newspaper article reviewing
the campaign, makes the admission
"that America is strong enough TO de-
velop and enjoy her own resources
and would prosper in spite of the
antagonism of oil the money markets
of the world"
For thirty years attempts have been
made to obtain an international agree
ment on the money question, but
without success, mainly through the
opposition of Great Britain, which, a.
the largest creditor Nation, CONTROL
the gold of the world.
Such being the case, it is not IN
reasonable to believe that the United
States, without the Intervention OF
England or any other foreign Nation
can solve its own currency problem

The Advantage Of Free Silver.

The great advantage of free silver
lies in the fact that it will introduce
sp era of expanding currency and ris.
ing prices in place of the falling mar
ket that has SO long depressed US.
Although the immediate effect of free
silver may be to lessen the volume of
the currency by driving our gold away,
yet very soon the influx of silver will
more than make good the loss of the
gold and the volume will rapidly ex-
pand. The consequence will be that
prices will rise, commerce and manu-
features will be encouraged, labor will
he in demand, many who are unem-
ployed will get work, competition FOR
employment will become less severe,
wages will rise, and, in the end, work
ingmen will be benefited as we'll aa
merchants and manufacturers.
Debtors who have been wronged by
the shrinkage of prices will secure at
least a partial justice and be able to
pay of their notes and mortgages with
something like fair equivalent for
what they got when they borrowed
