SLOW, BUT SURE. {
One by one all level headed meneare coming around to one
conclusion 011 the silver question. Senator Chandler; of New
Hampshire, says: • .. . ,> >bv
"As to the silver question. I think that light is breaking An 4h§
east. As we have progressed toward gold monometallic the
business distress of the world has increased. There is now "an
outcry from India and from Europe, from the Occident and the
Orient. Bimetallism must be secured or there will be almost no
end to the fall in values that is taking place and is paralyzing
business and distressing debtors beyond endurance. The New
England bimetallic movement also is an encouraging symptoiiu
I shall be glad to see hard times disappear and prosperity retine
as many think they will in the next six months, but my fears are
that the pending distress will be prolonged two or thrée yesfe.1"
Hon. Henry Hicks, of London, England, says:
"I have lately been reading up the questiofi of bimetallism,'
and can assure you that quite apart from any interest in a silver
mine, I am a thorough convert. How long it will be before it
wins its way to the country no one can say. Things move slow-
ly with us, and the subject is difficult and abstruse to the public.
At the same time I may say there is more talk about it
than I ever remember, and quite a number of our leading men
are believers in it."
LOCAL NOTES.

As exhilarating as a glass of good wine was the hearty hand-
shake we got the other day from S. S. Mendenhall, a visitor to
Thurber from Eddy, N. M. "Sieve," as he is called by his
friends, returned home Thursday, taking with him the team of
driving horses formerly owned by F. S. Cronk, but which were
recently sold by that gentleman to Jeff N. Miller, superintendent
■ of the Pecos Valley railroad at Eddy.
One of the prettiest little houses recently erected in this vicin-
ity is that belonging to our depot agent, Mr. T. J. Kelley. It is
a three room cottage, neatly painted, and fenced, and when the
trees and flowers now planted blossom out will be as snug and
cosy and neat as one wants to see. By the way, this is not all
Errors.
