We have taken the pains to somewhat cri-
tically examine Johnson's %Cyclopedia. Ac-
custOmed as we have been to the use of the
Britannica and American we came to the
task, no doubt, somewhat prejudiced. but We
find Johnson's work to he very much more
comprehensive than we had any idea it was.
Its scholarship no one has ever for a moment
doubted. 1t IL only necessary to glance at the
names Of its distinguished contributors TO be
satisfied upon that point. For ordinary use,
for those who can have but one cyclopedia,
Americal subjects and American biography,
we do not hesitate to recommend JOhnson's
c~ycl0pedia Us the book they want. As a
gazetteer 1t is very full and comprehensive,
and even upon scientific subjects 1t is quite
a. full rs will generally be desired. 1t is
system of division of subjects, whereby
ready reference, so valuable in this busy age,
IL rendered q leading feature of the work.
No family where children are growing up can
afford to be without a c~yclopedia; no think
ing man, whether he be a professional man,
a merchant or g worker, can afford to be
without the assimilaled knowledge which is
contained in a few volumes like these, con-
stituting as they do, d library In themselves.

A SOUND PLANK.

The Albuqut rque Journal, a sound
Republican paper, pays our Terrific
~ the following compliment. New
Mexico has been very unfortunate
III her officers, appolntive and elec-
tive, but Arizona, of late, has been
peculiarly fortunate in securing
good appointed officers. 1t says:
Our neighboring Territory of Ari-
zona is entitled 10 he credit of one
OF the best and soundc9t planks in
the n*w Republican platform. We
refer to the resolution 10 the effect
that all appointments to official
positions in The Territories Of the
United States should be made from
the bonaEde residents Of the Terri-
tories. There has never been a
greater abuse OF 'he appoint ng
power than the custom which nov
prevSils Of farming out The Offices
of The Territories to the broken
down politicians in the States, thus
making these districts a sort of penal
asylum for men who had been re
pudiaEed al home.
" hen the custom was established
Of filling The offices of the Terrific
ries with men from The States, il
was all well enough, because the
average Territory at that time was
little better than "howling wilder
ness" and peopled only by a few
hunters and traders There was in
fact no material IN the Territories
from which to make officers, more
than there is in Alaska at the present
time, and in order to find men cons
petent TO fill the general offices of
the Territory it was necessary TO
take them from some other part of
the country. But such u condition
of things lorg since ceased 10 exist.
All the Territories Except a kn)
now have a stable population, with
people just as intelligent and worthy
and just Is competent to discharge
the duties of the Territorial officers
as any of those in the Siates, and ii
Is not only grossly unfair to them,
but positively unjust, and in oppo>
sliion 10 tho best interests of The
public service to fill these places by
of men from abroad.
People who live in the Territories
arc no less American citizens than
those VINO live in the States, and the
general gcve nIment has no moral
right to rob them of the benefits of
their citizenship to the extent of
totally ignoring their wishes IN the |
selection of men who are to fill their
public Offices.
The principle involved in this
matter is identical with one of the
greatest grievances that was alleged
by the colonies against Great Brit
ain, and which our revolutionary
tat9sra feh il tifed 10 resisting by
