a result OF the action OF our politi-
clans. a judge from The first district
Or one from outside the territory be
appointed. the cause Of statehood will
have been dealt a tremendous blow. II
has already been injured In the terri
tory, because our people won't believe
in The sincerity Of those who are adyo
il most loudly, when they
secretly endorse d man for the high
position 81 judge in violation or prin.
cipie.
The only hope Is that the anthorl-
Ties al Washington, may believe that
the political leaders who have endos-
ed a carpet Dagger, do not represent
the sentiments of the people and that
d Fifth district man shall therefore be
appointed. However, the situation
looks serious.
The New Mexican In commenting
on d subjoined article from the Den;
yer Republican publishes a report that
Capt. W G Reid has declined 70 be
considered d candidate. The report "
erroneous. Capt. Reid IL not making

candidate declines 10 be considered,
have urged him 10 accept the appoint
ment, lest d man whom they don't
want, and whose coming from some
other part VI the territory, they VIII
always resent, be foisted upon them.
Captain Reid bas given his promise q
accept the position If II II rendered.
ana powerful friends are working for
HIS appointment.
The authorities nj Washington are
receiving airong proof Of the fact
that the people Of the Fifth district
hold sacred The principles Of home
rule.
Following are some comments from
other papers upon the question OF the
j~ndgeship.

J. r. PARKER.
The Other Side.
Notwithstanding the opinion Of SO
excellent an authority as Col. Parker,
II seems probable that the Sierra gold
find is a big one. The Optic quoted
such reliable men as Louis Gales, w.
II. Bucher and Frank Ihnrnond. a..
Of whom visited the field and all of
whom are conservative and expert
encei mining men. They were highly
enthusiastic regarding the strike.
They did not believe that all the val.
liable claims had been located by
original finders and they do believe
that the district will become a great
producer both Of placer and quartz
gold.
On one point however, and that
should settle the question Of going
there in the minds OF the outsiders,
there Is no longer any difference OF
opinion. All the placer ground has
been taken up so there Is nothing to
call miners and prospectors to the
place except a possible chance Of maxi
Ing a quartz discovery.
The El Paso News sent a special
representative 10 the field. The re-,
who was himself a mining
man. was Impressed with the wealth
and promise OF The camp. He has
written a number Of letters 70 his
paper, all Of them speaking in glow
Ing terms of the d%strict, but in his
last n agrees with other miners that
there Is no room for more people. lie
