Mexico leiiialature certainly should so amend the Mátete of territory &a to make plain the well known and material dis tinction between the words "character" and 'reputation.' LNew Mexican. Come to think of it, there would be a whole lot of sense in legislating on this subject. It would relieve us from many .of the silly things likely to be enacted if tho assombly is not given some divert ing plaything during the usual hours of wakefulness. If tho consideration of the interesting and important subject of "the well known and material distinc tion betwten the words 'chnwttqr'.aud 'reputation' "should become tiresome or disposed of before the money in the sec retary's hands is exhausted, the time tnigut be filled up by discussing the dif ference bet weon "tweedlodee" and "twee dleJura" and "come out, Murphy," and "Murphy, come out," all of which themes would bit far more interesting and profitable to the people who pay the taxes am try to ,obey the Jaws than many of the statutory enactments which have heretofore engaged the serious at tention of the legislature of New Mex ico. FOR PRESIDENT. LAWYER'S OPINION. The Denvor A'ctcs has published a ongthy editorial on the legality of the contempt proceedings against Thomas Hughes, of the Albuquerque Citizen, which caljs in quostiou the right of tho supreme court of New Mexico to punish tho dofundant. Sinco Hughes went to ail some of tho papers of the territory, uijudiug tho Ciiiteu, have been using Una editorial to show that the court ooul J not do such a thing. This reminds us of that other fellow who was 1 jcked up in prison : "1 ui uere, Bin u .. JOHN SnEUMAN'S BOOK. John Sherman, of Ohio, seems to have 'talked too d d much" to suit the party associates whos political principles he has formulated and directed for the past twenty-five yoars. He has written a book which discloses some cf the se- orets of the grand old party, and the other fellows are afraid he will tell more of them. Whon Senator Sherman snid"wemnst have honest money" the republican party took up the refrain and echoed "honest money." When he said the obligations of tho government must be paid in coiu the party said it was for coin payments. When he coustruod "coin" to mean gold coin tho party indorsed that coustruc tion. When the resumption law passed and the demonetization of silver took place, in 1373, both the pet schemes of Sherman and his party,' and the country was bankrupted and ruined in the panic which ensuod, the republican party "pointed with pride to its achievements." After having beeu ís dictator and per mitted to furuish, ready-made, its prin cip'oj for a quarter of a century, it was really ukir,d not to say ungrateful in Mr. Sherman to divulge the party se cro!a just because bo had failed to ss euro the nomination for president of the Uuited tules. WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY. The Eaoie is glad to note the roturn of L. It. E. Paulin to tho sanctum of the Albuquerque Democrat. 'Things have, apparently, gone wrong iu that ofliee during (he few days theoditor and manager has been away. The Inde pendent Democrat La boguu to think that the Albuquerque morning daily, which ought to bo tbe leading demo cratic representative iu the territory, is nonentity, and tho ivtto Mexican charges it with a "very rank piece of news piracy." Wo hopo, now that Mr, Pauliu has got settled in the metropolis, and has moved hid home from San Juun, he will set things to rights iu the office of the morning Democrat. WELCOME LEADER. IN THE HORIZON. Since llie practical accomplibhnwot of the single gold standard scheme we have been watching the eastern horizon for tho dawn of other propositions which cuould be calculated to cripple tho pro duction of gold so as to still lúcrense tho value of gold coin in its purchasing power. And now comes the commis sioner of the general land office with a recommendation in his annual report for the repeal of the.law permitting the cut ting of timber on public lands for min ing and other purposes. Timber which, under the law now in force, may be lawfully cut for mining, agricultural and domestic purposes. would have no value whatever in the ab sence oi the industries uamea in tne act. Without tho right to use this tim ber these industries must be abandoned in many locplitk-a and especially in the mining regions. Therefore, to ropeal the law and deprive the people of the min ing camps of the lumber growing on the pnbüo domain would take ffom the miner the means of pnrsiring his work and make it absolutely impossible to produce tbe precious metals in a very large portion of the camps now chiefly engagod in that industry. This would result in diminishing the amount of gold produced and drive another nail in the coffin of every industry in the coun try and enable the creditor to acquire tho property of the debtor and reduce him to peonage. It is only another pro posed imk in tbe money-lendors' chain. An Equal Show ! Every one has Sin equal show for cue or till the pi ize9 we are golnj to ijive away.

Tho bankers' association has recently had under consideration another scheme for the regulation of tbe currency, but it embodies the same feature that they all propose of redeeming all other forms of circulating medium in gold coin, and also asauraos, as all other plans do, that one dollar can be paid With ten cents cash, it properly manipulated. This new plan, which was presented by Mr. Bradford Rhodes, has been referred to a "sagacious ooium ttee," who will report in due time and, if ;satisfactoiy to tho eastern bankers', we shall be told what kind of a syetorn we are to receive by these dictators of the government's finances.

BIO-OS- EL PASO RAILROAD. The belter eleiuentsin El Paso are lis For some months past tho Eacile has ' olaillg alarineJ at the rumors of the TOO OLD. ben mildly suggesting to its readers the inexpediency of the admission oi New Mexico, aí this tiino, to statehood. In adopting this jiue of policy wo have sought to call attention to the many in congruous foatures in our laws and to point out the objectionable characteris tics of our methods of solf government, in order that a correction of the prevail ing evils might result, rather than that statehood as au nbatract proposition should be defeated- The Eaoi.k. is iu favor of admission, but believes that the peoplo of this territory should first show by their legislation that they aro reason ably well propared for that condition. Iu its attitude toward tho subject of admission this paper has stood alono, the other journals of the territory be ing either advocates of statehood or too timid to assert themselves very fow of them announcing any opinion at nil on tho question. Iiungine our sin prise and gratification when on receipt of tho Al buqnrquo Democrat of Sunday morn ing last we found it had passed the Eaoi.k aud set a puce against statehood which was at once refreshing mid liewil during.
