The New Mexico Press Convention.
From the Lone Star.

From the Lone Star.
Inasmuch as IIadley's editorial
convention in Las Vegas was a
complete failure, we suggest to our
friends of the New Mexico press
that they re-organize. The farcical
convention at Albuquerque last
year could not be expected to result
otherwise than in acomplete failure
of any movement under its aus
pices. That convention stamped
itself as a ''dead head" institution
and appears to have disguised the
profession throughout the territory.
1t is about time to ''break the slate
and begin anew" if the members
of the New Mexico press expect
ever to organize arespectable press
association, The only reason we
have see advanced for the non-at-
tendance of the editors at the Las
Vegas convention, is that they
could not get their passes renewed
in time. This is ahumiliating con-
fession that they could not afford
to spend a few dollars in order to
get together and consider the meas
ures to be adopted to advance their
own interests. We refuse 20 be-
lieve that such m:serly motives &C
tuated them. The failure was due
alone TO the succeyS Of the dead

COL. DENIAL.

We take pleasure in giving place
to Col. Rynerson's letter, as it is his
first say On the subject Of which
much comment has been made by
the MesilIa Ne'cs and the Golden
Era. All who know the Colonel,
know him to be man of few words
and full of truth.
The Rio G,unde Republican
contains the letter as follows:
Editor Rio Grande Republican.

Just to myself, MS well Is to the
friends of Las Cruces, to deny some
statements made by the man who
writes for the Neocs. The writer
for the Noacs has stated time and
again that L was the owner of Block
6, where the new court house is to
be located, and that the change of
the county seat from Mesilla to Las
Cruces is. a mere speculation on my
part, etc, etc. That is not SO. |

more. Block is the property of

Town company. | have not now,
and never did have, any stock in
that company. The townsite near
which the court house is to be erect
ed as provided by the law OF the
last Legislature, belongs to that
company and not to me nor any
one in Las Cruces. l do not ex-
pect to make one cent by the
change of the county seat to this

can't possibly come back to me by
the change Of the county seat to

When the county seat was
changed to Las Cruces a proper
site for the county buildings was
necessary. 1t was obtained. The
site did not cost the county a dol
lar. 1t was a gift of the Town
company. 1t is situated between
the main town and the railroad de-
pot, and is ample and on land on
which trees may be planted and

MINING MATTERS.

DliVer Orc asSaylhB - pcr Cehe-
of silver mixed with copper, has
been discovered in the bed of Pan
Their creek near Secor, Ill. Over
1000 pounds has already been taken
ont, it is reported, and tho work is
getting lively. The report does
not say, however, that the rush for
New Mexicoisall tending that way.
Owners of properties near Han
sonburg in the Oscuras are about
to begin work.
The Magdalenas are trying to
start a boom. The latest is that
the Nameless minenear the summit
is showing an extraordinary body
OF black oxide of manganese yield
ing go per cent. Also an eight
foot vein of rich ore running from
100 to 500 ounces per ton in silver,
has been found near the north end
of the range So says the Socorro
Miner.
Water is reported as becoming
very scarce in the Oscuras, and a
elbow, with an eye to the necessi-
ties of pilgrims and strangers, who
are prospecting over there, has
taken possession of the only re-
naming ource of supply, and deals
out liquid muddiness at the rate of
fifty cents per barrel. Miners had
better stop fooling around over in
that region and come to White Oaks
or the White Mountains so as to be
here when the business comes in on
the White Oaks Il Ell Paso railroad.
Lake Valley is still on the rise,
and n~inety-two thousand dollars in
silver bullion was shipped from Mutt
station on the tenth of October, it
is said.
Over on the Percha when one
locates a claim he has to hire men
to stand guard over it with Win
chesters to keep people from jump
ing it or pulling it out by the roots
and carrying it off bodily.
The Nogal and White Mountain
country is destined to make one of
the richest and best mineral dis
tricts in the territory. 1t will take
capital and time to develope the
mines but when down to a paying
basis the mineral is there to stay.
This is the verdict of men who have
examined that country after visiting
nearly all the other camps in New
Mexico.

Nuisance and its Sequel.

The following conversation is said
to have occurred at about midnight
at a summer hotel. The children
began it:

"What, dear"
"Is that you, pat"
"Yes, dear"
"Good night, ma"
"Good night, dear"
"Good night, pa"
"Good night, dear"
The dialogue has been repeated at
intervals of fifteen minutes for two
hours, when an elderly man in an
adjoining room, who had been try
ing to sleep all that time, rolled ont
of bed with a thud, climbed up into
the transom, and putting his head
out shouted at the top Of his lungs,
"Yes, it's me NAV, and it's me paw;
now go to sleep you little brat, or Ill
come in there and chew you up
Five minutes later a holy calm
brooded over the house, and NO
sound was heard the last sob Of
a weary wave telling its story to the
smooth pebbles of the beach.

The days of sentimental politics
are past. Citizens now want facts
and no fancy in tin political bill
of fare. The business of the state,
like the business of the citizen,
should be conducted with honesty,
economy and an eye to the public
veal. The pure metal of fitness
for the discharge of the duties of
he office should be recognized in
every candidate. Silver plated
politics must be remanded to the
rear. Like a punched five cent
piece, they have no commercial
value, and are impressed with per-
petual inconvertibility.

He says: sit will be seen by the fore
going table that the increase of the price
on petroleum, lard and bacon, is very
considerable, just in those articles on
which high import duties have been laid,
and also in bread. owing to the import
duty on flour. Sugar and potatoes have
not been affected, as the duties on sugar
remain unchanged anl potatoes enter
free of duty. Most of the bacon, and es-
pecially of lard, was imported from the
United States" What is true in Ger
many as to the effect of high tariff,
cannot be false in the United States.
A wise tariff system must note the
power and the opportunity of retaliatory
legislation by foreign nations. Our i'm.
mense production of breadstutfs and tn g
paucity of production abroad, so that
many countries do not support their own
population, make it very necessary that
prohibitory, or even repressive, legisla-
ton should not he invited against us.
And it will equally note the fact that, in
some cases, just in proportion as our i'm
port duties are diminished, export duties
are levied in the home countries. In
some countries "beyond the Cape OF
Good Hope" as they were then called,
and as to some articles, as our import du-
ties are decreased their export duties are
laid, and if there be competition our pro-
ducts are deprived of protection as the
Government is deprived of revenue.
The present tariff ought to g amended
at once. 1t is irregular, unjust, unfairly
laid. l shall not enter into details.
shall not specify the changes which
ought to bo made. That discussion
would lead too far to-day. reserve it
till we shall have bill before US, and
consider and compare its provisions. 1t
is enough now to indicate the general
principles on which, such changes should
be made. I have shown that the work
of this reformation is one of great diff
Guilty. Nevertheless, it ought to be COM
