Tnr frs, democratic national con-

THE first democratic national con
vention was held in 1892, when Martin
Van Buren, was nominated for vice
president, Andrew jackson having
been already selected for president.
Prior to this time nominations had
been made by Legislative and congress
sional caucuses. The first national
convention to select candidate for
the presidency was held by the anti
masons at Baltimore, in 1881. The
convention plan was soon afterwards
adopted by other parties. The two
thirds rule, which prevails in demo
cratic conventions. was adopted in
1885, when Van Buren, was nominated.

MEXICAN COAL LANDS.
The Southern Pacific Deprived Of Their
 PossessIon.

At Piedras Negras. Mexieo a;obt ,noh1ns nI ago, R- J. McCrocker, W. N. hohroe and others, jointly holding per .ec0eG u,les to the land. conveyed to tue southern Pacific railroad 100000 acres or coal land Tn the valley of Sa- oinas, Mexlco. No sooner had the road optained possession of the lands than they commenced improving the place ana ouiit eleven miles of railroad to connect with the mines. Machinery was put Tn and improvements ot all xmas made, including the building of houses for miners. Under American management the mines were putting out about seventy-five tons of coal per day' and everything was working smoothly. A few weeks since Nilmo. n banker, began suit on behalf of ms Whe for these lands, snd yes terday the District Attorney of Za
 ragoza, represented by deputy in the absence of a regular judge, after wait Ing three days for an offer from the Southern Pacific folks for favorable Judgment, and none being received, the conrt decreed that the present owIers an operators of the mine should yacate the premises, taking away all of their improvements within three days. The same length of time was given tine miners to leave their homes. and a force of military was put in charge. By this act the Southern Pacific railway was deprived of property valued at Sl5O.OOO Milmo has not yet been put in posses sion, but will be probably in a few days. l he Sabines coal is of good quality. The vein averages eight feet in thick ness, Is practically inexhaustible, and in the few months the Southern Pacific railroad had operated it they hsd proba. ply taken out 250 carloads and gave em- ploymeat to 100 men. Outrages on Americans are frequent in this section.

The Committees Selection.

It Is understood that the committee of nine selected at the mass meeting last Tuesday night to select suitable persons for nomination for city officers, have concluded to report the following slate: For Mayor, Hiram $. Stevens; for Councilmen, at Large, H. E. Lacy; First ward, Paul Moroney; Second ward, J. s. Crosley; for Assessor, George F. Foster; for Treasurer, Albert S.einfeld; for Re corder, W. A. McDermott.
 When the news of this selection be- came known on the streets this morning 1t was received with general disfayor, and m their objections no two persons seemed to agree. There was talk ot straight party nominations, and 1t will not be surprising If the report ot this committee be rejected at next Tuesdays meeting and party nominations be made
 Generally speaking, the Republicans favor the nomination of Messrs Lacy and Crosley for the council, but they want Douglass Snyder added from the First Ward. Foster seems to be the favorite for Assessor; the Treasurer es- capped much criticism, but for Recorder the Republicans will be satisfied with no one but Judge Meyer, the present incumbent.
 IL was rumored also that Hon. H. $. Stevens declined the homer of a nomi- nahon, and that 1t would be rendered Andrew Cronly, at present acting as mayor. The general sentiment on the streets however, IS favorable to Col George Rayfield, and his strength seems beyond all question.
 The public has fair opportunity to consider the claims of the parties men toned aud, unless it be deemed advisa- ble to make party nominations, the CITIZEN urges that the qualifications of the candidates be the only considera- tion when the question of a selection comes before the people.

AMONG the many needs of Arizona is

AMONG the many needs of Arizona Is a government survey of all its water courses and watersheds, with the ulti- mate view of the construction of noun tain reservoirs for the storage of water for irrigating purposes. Before making his annual report to the Interior Depart ment, Governor Tritle caused consider able research to be made into the possl-
 bilities of the water supply of the Territory, and he finds that with proper storage facilities there is plenty of wa ter for all purposes throughout the en- tire Territory where the land Is suitable for cultivation, and he recommended a survey of the streams that the most can be made of their waters. With knowl- edge of the amount of water to be de- rived, and the estimated expense of se- curing that supply, a company or colony could prepare suitable homes ID advance of their immigrating hither, and perform by united efforts what Is beyond individual enterprise. The time is not distant when there will be more economical care of the waters in the valleys, and the precious fluid will be conveyed in pipes and the old system Of open ditches, subject to such waste and losses by seepage and evaporation, will he abandoned. A new order of things is coming to pass in Arizona, and the old and primitive methods will give way to the progress of intelligent enterprise.
