Another Richmond in the Field.

WE learn through our exchang-
es that there IS a new candidate in
the field for Governor of New
Mexico, viz: Hon. w T. Thornton,
of Santa Fe, gentleman probably
as well and popularly known as
any citizen of the Territory, and
particularly 90 in the county of
Lincoln, where he has a host of
friends who would be glad to see
him successful.
This paper does not agree with
Mr.. Thornton in politics, and will
have little to say in the selection
Of Territorial officers. Moreover
it has already declared in favor of
ex-senator Ross for the position of
Governor before it was known that
Mr.. Thornton was a candidate, or
would accept the position. We
apprehend the new candidate has
filed his intentions at too late
day, as many of his friends in
southern New Mexico have been
" hollering" for the other fellow
for some time.
Mr.. Thornton is an old resident
of the Territory, is largely identi-
fled with the interests thereof, and
especially with the cattle and min
ing interests, in both Of which he
has invested large sums Of money.
He is a lawyer of unquestioned
ability and learning, and his in
tegrity has never been impeached.
He is thoroughly conversant with
the language and habits Of the
Mexican people with whom he is
exceedingly popular, and would
make good and efficient officer
If we cannot get our first choice,
Hon. E. &. Ross, we shall have
no regrets at the success of Mr..
Thornton.
Gov. Sheldon's term will expire
early in May, and his successor
will probably soon be named by
the President.

FUNNY, but true.

FUNNY, but true. President
Cleveland's Secretary of War has
never been a soldier; his Secre ta-
ry Of the Navy has never been a
sailor, a mariner, ora naval officer;
his Secretary Of State has never
been diplomat his Secretary of
the Treasury is not an expert fl
nancier his Postmaster General
has never been a postmaster, a
postal clerk, or even mail carrier;
his Secretary of the Interior has
never been anything except a ped
agogue and politician his only
Cabinet officer who has "made Il
business" of the business to which
he Is assigned is the Attorney Gen
eral, who is reputed to be a good
lawyer. We are afraid that Mr..
Cleveland did not give much con
sideration to "the eternal fitness
Of things" when he selected his
Cabinet. lie certainly could have
done much better without exerting
himself much.

WHEN Abraham Lincoln. on be-
coming President, was asked 10
appoint one of his warmest and
most active Illinois friends to a
place in his Cabinet, he replied
- Is it not enough that Illinois has
the Presidency We must not
make hogs Of ourselves because we
happen to have been entrusted
with the key to the pig PEN" Mr..
Cleveland should have reasoned in
the same way. Instead of that he
adopted as his motto, "whole hog
or none," and notwithstandingNew
York has the Presidency, he has
given it two Of the most important
Cabinet offices. New York poll
ticians are not of the modest and
considerate class to which Abra-
ham Lincoln belonged.

became bold and eloquent advo-
cate of the rights Of the people. -
lie most cheerfully and fearlessly
affixed his name to the charter of
our rights, and did all in his pow
er, and more than feeble state of
health warranted, to promote the
cause of freedom. He was finally
compelled to yield to disease, and
relinquish hs public duties Med
ical skill proved unavailing, and
with the advice Of his physicians
he undertook voyage to Europe,
change of climate being the on
ly thing that promised relief. Near
the close of the year 1899, himself
and wife sailed, but the vessel was
never heard of afterwards. Thus
perished Thomas Lynch, as bold
an opponent to English tyranny as
ever trod our continent, and one of
our ideal patriots.
Capt. McKerachan, who fell at
the battle Of Wyoming, was an

Matthew Thornton, an Irishman,
signed the Declaration, and was a

George Reed signed the Decla-

SO, too, was the hand Of James
Smith, whose pen did much to in
spire his countrymen to take up

A PARTY OF SMALL MEN.

Last week we published Cleve
lands Cabinet in full, and we be.
lieve we do not give voice to pre-
judice when we say that the list EN-
braces very weak material.
Scientists tell us chat the world
we now inhabit is made of the
wrecks of past ages, and that a:
each age falls to decay a more per
feet development succeeds. But
the Democratic party, which was
wrecked twenty-four years ago, and
through an untoward and unfortu-
nate upheayal has been thrown up
on the surface again, seems tc
have presented itself in such de-
moralized shape to its Chief that
he was unable to select Il single
piece of timber which would not
have been rejected by the Cabinet
makers of years ago.
Probably the Premier, Bayard,
is the most respectable representa-
tive of the Democratic party of the
period. But compared with Dem
ocratic statesmen of past eras-to
Silas Wright, William L. Marcy,
Lewis Cass, or Benton, he is a pig
my in intellectual stature. He is
esteemed great because IN the cen
tire of very small men.
The chosen Secretary of the
Treasury is New York politician
of the school whose motto is, "the
end justifies the means" He has
long been eminent IN the Empire
State as "tine worker" in poll
tics. Cleveland could have done
better without going tar,
His Secretary Of the Navy is a
nice gentleman, and would have
made very acceptable Secretary
Of the Treasury.
The Secretary Of War is un-
known outside OF Massachusetts,
and although he may extend his
he is not liable to en-
nance it III his new field.
Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus La
mar, has been chosen as Secretary
of the Interior, a selection emf
nently unfit to be made. AS his
name indicates, being called after
Rorne's eminent statesman, his pa
rents evidently intended that he
should be a man Of letters, and he
is. Educationally, perhaps, no
more gifted man ever occupied a
seat in the Senate save Sumner. -
But his place is not in the Interior
Department, under which the Land
Patent, Indian and Pension bu-
reaus operate He lives at the
South, has probably never been
west, whereas the department very
largely pertains to the west. Then

before hOstilities commenced. His
father had Just addressed the as

cheers Of his fellow citizens. As
he sat down his youthful son arose.
a profound silence ensued. A

his eyes were fixed, his bosom
heaved; the struggle was over, and
a strain Of eloquencc followed that
carried the insulating fluid Of pat

irresistible force. Tears OF Joy ran
down the furrowed checks of his
sire, and loud bursts of applause
greeted the two patriots. Father
and son enrolled themselves in the
ranks Of the patriot army. The
former was soon afterwards elected
to Congress, and the latter marched
to Newbern with his campany, and
