Associate Judge Stephen J. Field, of
the United States Supreme Court, an
nounccs his purpose to soon place ms
resignation of his high office in the
hands of President Mckinley, and to
retire from official duties which the
iniirm;ties of age have rendered lrk-
some. The Judge is the senior member
of the court. having been appointed to
it as a war Democrat in partisan desig-
nation by President Lincoln. He is a
brother of the late Cyrus W. Field. and
was a member of the rather prominent
New England family of the Fields, who,
a generation or two ago, were all more
or less active in public life. 1t is under
stood that Judge Field will be succeed
ed in office as judge by Mr.. Mckenna,
at present Attorney General OF the
United States by President Mckinley's
selection. so that there will still be one
Pacific Coast judge on that high bench,
out of nine members, and the under
standing and compact by which the
present Cabinet was made up will not
be broken. 1t was the purpose of Mr..
Mckinley to crafty the sugar trust,
which had so largely contributed to
Boss Hanna's campaign fund. by the
appointment of Mr.. John ]. McCook
as Attorney General, but the clamor
which was raised against it deferred
him from hasty action. 1t was then
proposed to take McKenna from his
life office as District Judge and put
him into the Cabinet till Judge Field
should. as he soon must, resign. Then
McKenna can have Fields place and
McCook perhaps) have Mckenna's,
and Bliss may come back to New York
again. and all will be satisfactory and
happy.
Judge Field decided to leave the
bench years ago, but waited for Presi-
dent Cleveland to precede him in leay-

Laws Needed to Keep Senators Honest
The people of the country will not be
very enthusiastic over the resolution
introduced in the Senate by one of the
Senators from Nebraska, which is de-
signed to forbid Congressman to spec
ulate in stocks and other properties
whose market value is susceptible to
the influence of legislation. The idea
of asking the Senate to enact q law
compelling itself TO be honest would be
a good deal more srotesque if the his
tory of the past thirty years had not
been made.-SiouX City Tribune.

Showing Unusually Indecent Haste.
The retroactive clause in the Dlngley
tariff bill as passed by the House Is
simply another defiance of fate by eX-
tremists who are intoxicated with
wholly fortuitous grasp of power. If
it were possible to believe that the Sen
ate would adopt this monstrous pro-
vision the effect upon trade and upon
customs receipts would be simply para
lying. The adoption of such an un-
heard-of provision simply betrays the
eagernesS of the tariff trainers to give
the trustSa and mOnopoliesan immediate
control of our markets. They cannot
wait even to pass the new schedules
of eXtortiOn in the usual way.-New
York World.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Senator Sherman, fresh from an inter
view with the president-elec declares it
quite certain that we shall have an extra
session of congress, and he adds that, in
his opinion, the earlier it is held, the bet
ter. He says that it is necessary that we
should have an early readjustment of the
tariff. The members of the ways and
means committee, who will be found in
the new congress, have been actively en-
gagged on a new tariff bill, which, of
course. will meet with the approval of
the new president. 1t is probable that
this measure will be ready by the time
Mr.. Mckinley takes the oath of Office,
and that the extra session will be called
Immediately after his Inauguration, for
the purpose of considering the above
mentioned bill. If this is done the meas
ure ought to be in good working order
before the summer comes again. 1t is
agreed that action on the tariff should be
prompt, for the country is in dire need of
additional revenue, and above all the un-
employed thousands, need to be put to
work. With a tariff bill which will restore
prosperity, financial questions of the day
ought to be speedily and satisfactorily
settled,

THE WORK OF the CAPITOL COMMISSION.

The capitol building commission has
done mighty good work for New Mexico
during the past two years, and that at
very little expense to the people, but at
much sacrifice of time and money to some
of the members of the commission, espe-
cially Hon. F. A. Manzanares, of Las We
gas, and Hon. Sol. Luna, of Los Lunas.
The more active work of the commission
will be done during the coming year or
two, the bill providing for the issue of
capitol rebuilding bonds having become
law. More scope and more authority
should be given the commission and
there can be no doubt that its work will
be successfully accomplished. The
amount appropriated, $4,000, under the
careful handling of the commission, will
be found sufficient to provide hand
some and commodious capitol building
in this city. Thus far much has been
accomplished at very little expense.
The building of switch to the capitol
grounds by the A., I. & s. +. railroad,
alone will save many thousands of dol
lars in transportation charges.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Thornton's message to the
32d legislative assembly is concise and
sensible document. In tone it is digni-
fed and fair, and partisan politics cuts
no figure therein, which is very good
thing all around.
majority of the matters treated are
of great Importance and nearly all the
governors recommendations are good
and sound. He urges liberal appropria-
lions for territorial institutions, recon-
mends the passage OF some needed laws
and the repeal of others, which he thinks
are detriment; he recommends that the
board of penitentiary commissioners be
recognized, which recommendation is
good, but further thinks, the board shonld
consist of majority of territorial Off
cials, which we think is not as good and
open to criticism.
On the question of paying for what is
called militia claims, the language of
the message is somewhat obscure and it
is not exactly plain, which batch of
claims the governor favors.
The message is valuable public docu-
ment and should bs carefully read by
every taxpayer and every citizen inter-
ested in the welfare and advancement of
the territory.

A CHANGE In POLICY.

The NEW MEXICAN appears to-day nm
der new management, which announces
with pleasure the return of this journal
to the Republican ranks, where in times
past, up to three years ago, it performed
efficient service for that party, and for the
advancement and prosperity of the peo-
pie of New Mexico.
Mr.. Frost, who again assumes control,
is tolerably we'll known throughout the
territory as staunch Republican, and he
begs to assure the public that it will be
his earnest endeavor to publish clean
bright newsy Republican paper, thor
oughly devoted to the interests of the
whole territory, and standing at all times
as champion of the principles upon
which the Republican party-the party of
sound government, is founded. He be.
lieves that a paper like the NEW Mex
loan, published at the capital of the ter
ritory, should occupy the broadcast field
possible, and while protesting unswerv-
ing loyalty to party interests and fidelity
to party measures and nominees which
has characterized his career throughout,
he will endeavor to publish paper which
shall represent the entire territory and
which will treat all public questions, and
the acts of public men and officials, with

Reducing Salaries.

We are heartily in accord with any
movement tending to reduce the taxes,
and therefore indorse the agitation, to a
certain extent, of reducing salaries of
county officials. However, we maintain
that it would be a grave piece of injus-
tice to make sweeping reduction in the
elected for thu ensuing terms. These
men were elected to positions at stipu.
lated salary, and should receive that ssls-
ry, by all means. As to the talk of abol-
ishing certain Offices, the idea may be a
good one, but if the legislature takes &C.
ton on either of these measures, the law
should be SO constructed as to take effect
on January l, 1899.-Rincon Weekly.

CUBA LIsRr.

The war in Cuba has been going on for
about two years now, and during that
time the United States has contributed
1925 men and $3,1l6,00O toward the
struggle. These figures represent only
what is known, and the contributions not
made public would probably amount to
over SO per cent of the figures given
above.
The nerve center of the Cuban revolu-
ton is in this country in New York City
and from the inception of this war for
liberty, the insurgents have enjoyed q
we'll nigh universal sympathy from the
people of this country. One thing is GER
tain, without this sympathy, which has so
generously manifested itself in material
aid, Weyler would long ago have made
good one of his boastful proclamations
and swept the revolving Cubans from off
the face Of the earth.
The natural sympathy which the Ameri-
can people always feel for the oppressed
struggling for liberty, has in this case
been intensified by the revolving barbara
ties of the brute Weyler, whose fam.
boyant proclamations ard official lies,
have been enough to awaken disgust
wherever they have been read. Add to
this the absurd Boosting of Spanish Off
cials concerning SPANS power, and their
repeated and gratuitious insults to the
people OF this country, together with the
freq uent attacks OF mobs on the Ameri-
can flag in Spanish cities, and the intense
feeling 10 this country is easily accounted
for. Among all classes in the United

salary, small as it is. The roads of San

A Frank Confession.

Various and several of the territorial
papers have been announcing, with be-
coming gravity, that the editor of the
Liberal is candidate for governor, or
secretary, or various other fat Offices.
Without violating any confidence it may
be stated as fact that the editor afore-
said has not, nor does he intend to, re
quest Major Mckinley to appoint him
governor, nor secretary, nor to any other
fat Office. Notwithstanding this state
ment, it will not be safe for Major Nc.
Kinley to run any blazer on the afore-
mentioned editor. If he thinks he can
tender him an Office which is accompanied
by fat salary and that the offer will be
refused, he is mistaken. The CELEBRITY with
which it will be accepted will only be
equalled by the size of the salary attached
to the Office Lordsburg Liberal.
