The opportunities Of the public at large
to vote for the man of their choice for
United States Senator are conspicuous
for their absence.
The Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express an opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the
interests of the Diamond State in the
councils of the nation.
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any State within the history Of the
nation. +.
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at the head of this
column and send it to THE Sun. We pub
lish the number of votes received by each
candidate every day in order to keep the
voters posted.
The Sun also makes this offer: The
winner in this contest has the privilege
of naming any charity in the State to be
the recipient of one hundred dollars,
which will be paid to the said charity by
The Sun.
The contest will continue until the
first ballot is taken in the Legislature.
There is no law or requirement which
makes it necessary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, though we would
rather you would. They will be counted
just the same, however, If you do not
wish your opinions known.
Send in your ballot and help win that
500 for some deserving charity.
All votes credited to each contestant
do not necessarily represent all the votes
received for each contestant. They
merely represent those that are counted
up to IL midnight of the day preceding

Subscription Prices.

THE Teller resolution passed the
Senate last Friday, by a vote of AZ TO
80. II reads as follows: THAT all
the bonds Of the United States issued,
or authorized TO be issued, under the
said acts Of Congress hereiobefOre
reclted are payable, principal and In
terest, at the option OF the govern
ment OF the United States, In silver
dollars OF the coinage OF the United
States Of 4l2i grains of standard sill
yer, and that to restore TO its coinage
such silver coins as a legal tender In
payment OF said bonds, principal and
interest, Is not violation Of the
public right nor in derogatiOu OF the
rights OF the public credit" The
Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Record says the passing uf the
resolution was a waste OF time, except
that II gave the senators Il chance 10
talk. lie says that as "A matter OF fact
the payment ON the bonds aud OF the
interest Is merely "A matter Of book
keeping. The owners OF the bonds clip
of the Interest coupons and deposit
them in their bank where they are
treaed as New York exchange. When
they ultimately arrive at the
sub treasury in New York IL
Is through the clearing house,
and 1t is liable to happen
that the clearing house owes the sub
treasury instead Of the sub treasury
owing the clearing h use, so cash Will
accompany the interest coupOnds in
stead Of being paid out for them. 1t
is the same with bonds. II the sub
treasury has TO pay the clearing house
IL Is in the habit OF using the kind
and variety Of money that is most
convenient. II the owner Of an in
terest coupon appears 10 person at the
sub treasury to get the money on the
coupon the cashier with whom he
does business hands him out the
variety Of money which is most con
venient. Still the senators had lots Of
fun talking the matter over. The
resolution was brought up in the
house Monday. Only Ave hours were
allowed for debate when a vote WIS
taken and the resolution was defeated
by a vote Of 1872 ayes TO 1872 nays.

THE LIBERAL weuld like 10 draw
the attention Of various New Mexi-
cans who have been arguing that the
people OF this territory were not tt to
take care OF themselves, and that New
Mexico ought to remain a territory
until the coming Of that time when
wicked people could be convicted by
cur courts, to the record made ia some
of the states, which record would go
TO show that, in the words OF the poet,
There are Others" Some time since
two eminent citizens OF west Texas
became vexed at each other, and each
is said TO have threatened To do the
Uther great bodily injury. As often
happens 10 such cases, the friends Of
the leaders suffered more than did
the principals. In due course OF time
several men interested in the dispute
died, with their boots on. The prin-
cipals, however, always got away with
wounds which were not fatal. There
was considerable shooting INDUCED in
by both OF these men. One day one
of the men was playing cards in Il
saloon when the other came in with a
double barrelled shot gun in his hands.
Why he needed TO carry a shot gun
when after a drink has never been ex-
planned. The card player heard his
entry and turned his head TO see who
had come In. 1t was averred at the
trial that the card player attempted
TO, or did, draw his pistol, that the
shot gun was 1red and the card player
died. After mixing up with Texas
jurles for some time the gentleman
who carried the shot gun was acquit-
ted OF all blame. Again, this time
too, Ia West Texas, two gentlemen Of
the "BlIck Jack" persuasion entered
a store d evening and held IL up,
fobbing the owner OF his cash. While
they were doing this the attention Of
the officers was drawn TO what was
going on inside. The officers conclud-
ed 20 take the robbers 10. A posse
was placed at the front door aud
another at the back door to arrest
Their when they came out. The men
went out the back door, where the
Oficer attempted u arrest them, aud
was killed for his lmpudence. Later
one OF the robbers was arrested, and
he recently has been tried for murder
IN I'll Paso, aud acquitted. The only
defense made, as far as a be learned
from the FL PasO papers, was the fore
sight OF his lawyers in having the
prisoners wife and children In the
court room during the trial. For fear
that the impression might 60 out that
Texas is the only o OF the states
where killers OF men are treated len

While sreakers-aye, and sngers-would not dress

Unless they sought in earnest to remingle with
their clay.
And thou clerk that lied to me about my laun-
