The New Mexican Review wants the
legislatureGf there everis onein SESSION.
to provide for the election of county
surveyors in New Mexico. Thu need of
the office is not apparent. Every county
in New Mexico has a larger or smaller
number of good surveyors and the esta-
blishment of this office would assist
things not at all. The counties of New
Mexico are too large to admit of an
official like acOuntv surveyor being of
service. Ii it vas not made compulsory
people would not ask the county sur
yeyor to come a hundred and fifty miles
to do a piece Of work which could be
done equally well by local surveyors,
and it would be imposing a burden
upon the people to compel them to call
an official that distance and pay him for
coming. The people of New Mexico
are not suffering for county SURVEYORS
at all. at all.

Bishee's Men Left Out.

The reappontment of Messrs. Barnes and
Rollins, the former as Register Of Public Lands
and the latter as Receiver of Public Moneys al
Gainesville, despite the interposition of Bisbee
in behalf OF others, seems to indicate wane in
his heretofore unlimited influence in the matter
OF Federal patronage in this State. 1t is said
that Nr. Bisbee favored the appointment Of H.
r Teasdale, Esq, of Palatka, for the Receiver
ship, and J. d. Cole, of Jefferson county, as Mr.
Barnes successor; but for some reason, un-
known outside of political circles, the President
reapponted the present incumbents Dennis
the Little Giant" of Alachua, has also been
neglected in his ambition to obtain the Gaines
vile post-office all of which actings and doings
have no doubt created chagrin as well AS discon.
tent in the camp of our Republican neighbour
The question now is whether or not Bisbee will
quietly submit to be sat down upon in this way,
or whether when Rollins and Barnes come up
for confirmation Bsbee's heretofore uninter-
rupted right will not be indicated, or probably
the President may be influenced to reconsider

a reduction of rates of taxation, and those
whose property has been raised to fair

more than if if it had remained under

assessed will not have to bear the burden
that belonged to others.

la the issue of the Constitution of the Goth
inst. we gave expression to the opinion, that
when the Democratic Convention assembled in
1894 Tor the purpose of framing platform and
nominating candidates for Office, if it was dis
covered that any considerable number of the
delegates were averse to making the holding Of 4
Constitutional Convention a party measure, 1t
would be wise, as party, to ignore the Conven-
ton question. To this prudential suggestion the
Pensacola Commercial makes an intemperate re-
sponse-bitterly assails the Democrats of the
black counties, and charges upon them dereic-
ton of duty in past political contests.
We have no disposition to make retort to the
unkind and bitter works of our contemporary,
or attempt to dsprove the serious charges pre-
ferred against the Democrats of this section
The printed history of every political contest in
this State is a clear and complete vindication Of
the parties assailed. The black counties have
been the real batte-felds of the contending hosts
in every campaign since the days of reconstruc-
ton, and it was on these stubbornly contested
fields that the gallant leaders of the Democracy
