Government and Courts.
Because of the location at Santa Fe Of
the territorial government it has advan-
tages which give it prominence in affairs
political and social.

sumed by fire some time ago, was a
credit to the territory.
A portion of the governmental offices
are located in the Old Palace since the
loss of the capitol, while the others occu-
by rooms in the federal building, erected
for the purpose. In this structure are
also the United States court rooms.
The territorial officials are as follows:
Governor, w. T. Thornton; secretary,
Lorion Miller; auditor, Marcelino Garcia;
treasurer, Sam'l Eldodt; superintendent
of public instruction, Amado Chaves;

Hon. J. H. Walker,

Register of the United States land office
at Santa Fe, holds responsible position
in the territory by reason of his business
capabilities, and his scrupulous honor as
a man among men, this gentleman merits
recognition in review of New Mexico
Judge Walker is a native of Missouri,
and received his education at the Mis-
souri, State University, from which he
graduated.
After that he followed agricultural
pursuits, but his spirit craved for a
larger field and he entered that of poll
tics
His worth and services were soon rec
ognized, and he was elected to the posi-
ton Of county judge, which office he
filled for eight years. He was also elected
twice to the Missouri state senate, serv-
ing eight years. and while there he twice
aided in sending Senator Vest to the
United States senate, and also voted for
Gen. James Shields for the same posi-
ton; also for Gen. f. M. Cockrell for
same. He served under Cleveland's first
administration, and was appointed again
by the president to his present position.
He is man Of sterling worth, who has,
by his regard for integrity and straight
forward work become popular with the
people of New Mexico and numbers his
friends throughout the territory among
both political parties.

Edward B. LINEN.

Edward B. Linnen. the present eff
Gent chief clerk of the surveyor generals
Office, is native of LIE Sueur, Mime
sofa, born in 1860. He received good
education and at the age of II entered a
printing office, where he mastered all the
details of this trade, and also learned
something of the mysteries of editing
In 1883 he removed to the head Of the
lakes and became foreman of the Duluth
Tribune. Later he took position as
clerk of the Duluth land Office under his
uncle, Mr.. G. M. Russell, who was at
that time the register.
From 1879 to 1884 he was government
Inspector of dredging and harbor work
at Duluth and Superior harbors. In this
position he had charge of the dredging
and filling of the first dock of any con-
sequence that was built at Superior
the Northern Pacific dock in the old
town. While serving in the railway
postal service on the Northern Pacific
railroad he was severely injured in
collision that took place near Fargo in
December, 1887, his other two compan-
ions of the mail car being killed. Mr.
Linnen was removed to hospital at
Brainerd, and his condition was so low
that the press dispatches reported him
dead, and his newspaper friends all over
the country responded with obituary
notices, in which all manner of nice
things we're said about him and his un-
timely end DEPRECATED generally. In the
mail service Mr.. Linnen made most
enviable record, and resigned after work.
ing his way to the division superintend-
ent's office. where he was in direct line
Of promotion.
Subsequently he served on the Pioneer
Press and other leading journals of the
lake country in various capacities, and
also edited and published successfully
the Sibley County Independent at Hen
derson, Minnesota, and the Lake County
Graphic-Sentinel. This latter journal
he sold several years ago to return to
Superior, where he engaged in real es-
tate and the numbering interest.
He was member of the Duluth Iron
Mining Stock Exchange, and also inter-
ested in several other business ventures
that were highly successful. In 1894 he
removed to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and
became chief clerk in the surveyor.gen.
ais Office, position which he still holds.

in 1876. while silver is buying Is per cent.
less OF II.
The way TO test the matter Is TO take
hemp as the purchasing agent ana to
look after gold and silver as the things to
he bought. Thus tested we find that
n ton Of hemp would buy the bullion In
one hundred and ten gold dollars IN 1876
and also the bullion In one hundred and
ten silver dollars in that year. But In
1901 a ton OF hemp would buy the bullion
i'm one hundred and fifteen gold dollars.
and the same ton would buy the bullion
in one hundred and forty-tbree SILVER
dollars and seyenty-fve cents. To say
I'm this case that silver had not depre-
ciatcd i'm respect to gold would be absurd.
When illustrated by any of the articles
Named. similar results follow. Tske
mackcrol. No. /. for instance: In 1876
hundred barrels OF mackerel would have
brought $3.50, gold or silver. In 1891
they would have brought 2.icO gold dollars
and 5000 silver dollars.
1t would simply be ignoring the plainest
facts TO say that in this case gold has
appreciated and silver has remained
steady. Very well. Every considera-
ton that applies to this case applies 10
each OF the other cases that we have
quoted. In all Of those cases. gold buys
as much or more Of the articles referred
to in 1891 as It bought IN 1876. but In
each case silver buys a great percentage
less of the article. In all Of these cases.
therefore. silver has certainly depre-
ciatcd in respect to gold. when tested by
the article referred to.
II does not treat the case fully to make
these comparisons with 1876 as the start
ing-point. The demonetizing act was
passed in 1873. and that is the point at
which comparisons should start. When
that is done. the results are very start
ling indeed. We will quote the varying
prices of a few articles, from the same
Senate report, beginning with corn:
Corn in New York, in April. 1873 was Ga
GEMS per bushel: in October, 1894. was
% IL cents; in July, 1876, was 50 cents;
in January, 1875. was Ga cents; in January,
1879. was AZ l-2 cents; in July 1882. was
so ga cents: in January. 1855. was IS cents;
in April. 1885, was O. cents; in April. 1880.
was SO 81 cents, and in April. 1891, was
70 ii cents.
Now in all Of that time the silver
dollar was going steadily down. down.
down. while corn was sometimes going
up and sometimes going down. How is
that to be accounted for IL gold was
appreciatlng and if the falls that took
place in. the prices Of corn were due
to the appreciation of gold? The appre-
citation of gold could not possibly cause
corn to fall and to rise. too.
In commencing this article, we mad IN
tended TO give the fluctuations in the
prices of a number Of articles, such as
hemp. oats, rye, wheat, lard ana pork
but it would carry it to too great
length and they all tell exactly the same
story that corn tells.
If the case is looked at falrly' 'he
evidence is overwhelming that silver mas
greatly deprecated in value. whether
cold has appreciated or not of when we
CON find no sort of evidence, and that

thing is not due any appreciation III INC
