Steps are being taken TO consolidate
the stock growers Of Grant. Dona Ana
and Sierra county into one association
and the attempt will doubtless prove
successful. The next meeting OF what
was the Dona Ana county association

Judge Prince Is well acquainted
with the prominent men of New
York and he has extended influence
among congressman from heightened
association with them. lie can do
the territory more service as delegate
than any other man IN New Mexico.
Sierra county has no worse enemy
than Col. Ryners0n of Las Cruces, and
the citizen who casts his vote for him
Is voting against his own best inter-
ests. No other man In New Mexico,
has said AS many hard words against
Sierra county or its people as MI
Rynerson. He does not deserve their
suffrages.
IL rs well known fact which no
body ever disputed until the present
time that Col. w. l.. Rynerson has
always been the lieutenant in charge OF
the southern districts for the Santa Fe
ring. The Colonel thought that his
long service for this centralized power
entitled him to its undivided support of
his candidacy for the nomination for
delegate and now when he has failed TO
get L he denounces the aforesaid ring
in unqualified terms. tits no change
of heart with HIM but simply bubble
of spite. Judge Prince never has
stood IN with the ring and the support
which he received from that quarter in
the late convention came from the
weakest members. Voters are not de-
ceived by an empty platform.
The Laporte, Indiana, Herald-Chroni-
Gle had an interview with a gentleman
largely interested in paper manufac-
turing at Elkhart, who related u fact
which is of interest to the tariff ques-
ton. This manufacturer has "ma-
chine tender" an Englishman who is
employed at $3.50 per day. lie
owns the house In which he lives, has
u piano, takes papers and magazines,
and has some money left for luxuries
~ well as necessities. A brother of
the man lives in England. and receives
nrnety-slx cents day for doing the
same kind of work. namely. tending q
machine. He lives In shanty, has
meat only twice week and wears the
coarsest of clothes. This comparison
of wages aud mode Of living is COM
mended to the laboring men. 1t is a
fair illustration Of the BLESSINGS" of
free trade In England.
The Silver City Enterprise recently
published q sensational story about a
gigantic wager ON the present presl.
dental race between two Silver City
citizens Messrs Shannon and Place
wherein the former pledged s400OOO
interest In the Clifton copper mines
against the latter's mine and mill OF
nearly equal value. The tale is totally
unfounded. What Mr.. Place might be
willing to do in the way of backing his
judgment on Blaine's election the
RANGE knows not. but 1t does know
that Charley Shannon won't bet u
dollar on Cleveland. Last month on
the train 10 Santa Fe Charley
did talk of betting 800 on Z his
favorite but when +, A. Thompson of
Socorro flashed up the cash to cover
such asum Charley suddenly bethought
himself that his grandmother was a
church member and grea tly averse to
his betting good money upon such an
uncertain card
Brick Pomeroy is back In New York
with new paper called the United
States Democrat. His Atlantic and
Pacific tunnel swindle In Colorado made
Denver unpleasantiy warm for him
so he moved east TO the city which Ia

and escape the consequences of bis
crimes. THIS vile, despisable copper
head the same old traitor who in 1896
libeled Abraham Lincoln and tried his
best to fatally stab the union soldiers
In the back, true To his native instincts
is now making the same warfare upon
j. G. Blaine. Pomeroy has too limited
