THE Ration Range pays the following
compliment to District Attorney K, L.
TwItchell:
At this distance from the seat OF govern
mcnt We are not supposed to know the
demands OF the political leaders, but We
would suggest to his excellencv, Gov.
Prince, that Major Ralph Twitchell, the
acting solicitor general, has thus far per
formed the duties OF that important office
to the entire satisiay ton OF the people OF
the territory, that he is q lawyer Of bril-
hunt attalnments, q Republican OF the
most pronounced and reliable type, and
Is in every way worthy the position OF
solicitor general. Give the Younger ele-
ment OF the party chance, governor, and
appoint Major Twitchell to the office he
is so well qualified 10 fill.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

TIE CUNoIlI u -lC-, al IVNF LNI4Uh'
The Democratic bosses are doing all
they can to make the coming constItu-
tional convention grand iz2lc and failure
Among other things thoy claim that as
,hrto Is no money appropriated tOr the
expenses OF the convention, that delegates
will not remain in session, but will let
everything 90 by default. They also point
to the small vote cast for delegates to the
convention as an indication that the peo-
pie Of this territory have not given the
project any hearty or actual support, and
are trying to make rs much capital as
possible out of that circumstance.
As far a. the latter is concerned, it is q
well known fact that when there is no
opposition ticket in the field in any cleo
ton the vote cast thercat is oil neces-
sity small Human nature is human
nature. Had the Democrats placed tick
cts in the field, the full strength Of the
Republicans would have been brought out
and the vote would have been large,
Considering the circumstances, We are Of
the opinion that the vote cast on the Gth
OF this month was a very respectable one.
And now as t. the iuct that there is no
appropriation to delray the expenses Of
the convention. Fortunately the con-
vention contains, with a few slight eXcep-
tons, only men and citizens who can al
ford to serve the territory Tor Il couple or
three weeks without any compensation,
and who are patriotic enough and have
the best, interests OF the territory sutll-
GENTLY at heart to do 50. Among the
delegates are many men OF territorial rep
utatiOn, and the fact that they Will not
get for the time being paltry per diem
of SO or 81 will make no difference with
them. The expenses for clerks and sta
tionery will he tritiing and We dolbt /,
the entire cost OF holding the convention
will reach s. 900.
The Democratic doodle bosses howl
about Il useless expense to the territory
OF about $4,000 in this matter. As
usual they are lying.
The constitutional convention will he 4
success and a grand one at that. A first
class, liberal, progressive and good con-
stitution will be adopted. This will be
sent to con -ress and thro lghout the
country to show the people OF the United
States that the people OF New Mexico are
progressive, liberal and patriotic, and that
this fair territory is ready to receive the
proper kind OF immigration with open
arms. 1t will give the direct lie to the
SANDERS and faschoods circulated about
New Mexico by some of Cleveland's cor
rupt and partisan officials. No money
will be squandered by the convention,
and it will prove itself in all respects Il
representative body Of citizens, and is,
more than probably, composed OF a great
deal better, more intelligent and public
spirited citizens than ii the Democratic
Doodle bosses had allowed the Democrats
Of this territory to participate in the cleo
ton,

THE people tinanr tally interested in the
free though unlawful importation OF Mex
Ian lead into the United States, says the
Denver Republican, are greatly DISTURBED
at the prospect OF having their supply cut
off by revised ruling Of the treasury de
partment. There is no doubt that serious
error was committed when the treasury
held that the commercial value, ratheI
than the relative weight, OF the ore import,
ed from Mexico, should settle its char,
arter II weight he taken as test, these
ores are lead ores, and should pay til,
duty fixed by law for all lead ores brought
into the United States. That is the only
true method Of ascertaning the nature Of
the ore and it is almost absolutely certain
that the present secretary Of the treasury
will so rule.
Under the vicious practice Of the late
Democratic administration thousand

duty, to the great injury of American
miners. OF course the people who are
interested in the profits arising from this
traffic are making their best endeavors to
prevent any change in the old order OF
things, but they are doomed to disappont-
ment, The preliminary instructions al
ready given by the treasury department
to our consuls on the Mexican border in
dictate very clearly what the ultimate de-
cision on this subject will be, and it is
safe to assume that within three months
every ton Of Mexican ore brought into
this country will have to pay the duty
established by law.

StOCk-Rearing in Central America,

In his report to the state depart ment, recently published, the con- sul-general of the United States to Guatemala, calls attention to the facilities for stock raising in that country, and the possible profits to be realized from an intelligent pur- suit of that business Native steers one year old can be purchased for $10 each i'll Gautemalan currency that is to say, at the rate of about $7.50 in the United States gold. Two year old steers can be bought for $15 and three year old for $20. These will sell, when fattened in the mountain pasture, at..$32 to $35 per head and when taken to the DOT tieros, or enclosed pastures near the coast, and put Tn charge of the herdsmen, who supply salt and take care of them at cost of $5 per head for the season, will sell at the rate of $45 each on the hoof. In the case of hogs there is an ex- traordinary profit when raised with the view of producing lard, which sells just now in this market at 25 cents per pound, and for which there is great demand for home consumption. There is no trouble in raising them, and good breed, such as known in the United States as the grass bFeed,' and whose principal food is the zacate of the country, will sell for $20 each when eighteen months old and $25 at two years old"

Maj. Slaymaker's Aged Wines.

Maj. Slaymaker, Postmaster at
 Lancaster, has a cask of brandy for
 which Simon Cameron has offered
 him $45 a gallon, an offer that re- fused. The brandy was imported by the present owners grandfather
 The pipe in which it came from France bears the Custom House marks of 1908. Maj. Slaymaker has also Madeira of the vintages of 1793, 1900, 1908, 1872, 1918, 1927 and 1S40. The vintage of 1927 was one of the first in the history of Madeira, and there is but little of it in existence to-day. The Madeira of 1793 was bottled in 119S by Philip and Adam Reigart, who inn ported the wine, received in ex- change for corn. When they re- ceived it they sold it as 6 common drink to the fla: mers, who drank it as bear is drunk nowadays. The wine is in the original bottles, and can not be purchased for less than $25 8 bottle to-day. When James Buchanan went to England as Minister from this country he took with him several cases of the old Madeira, and there was none of 1t to be had in the country. The newest wine in Maj. Slaymaker's cellar was bottled in 1S44. When Samuel J. Randall, Col. B. K. Jam- ison, ". U. Hensol and Barney Me: Gram went on their Southern trip, two or three years ago, they were treated so royalty by Henry w. Grady, at Atlanta, that when they returned they sent two cases of Maj Slaymaker's '93 Madeira to him as a recognition of his hospitality. Maj. Slaymaker has also cherry bounce in his cellar that was bot tied in 182S.-Philadelphia Press.

Cattle Markets and Supplies.

It has been noticed that cattle markets do not respond, in the mat ter of manifesting improvement, as quickly as they formerly did to frightened supplies. The runs of desirable beeves have for some time been falling off in the west, but it has been only a few days since the market has seemed to appreciably feel the effect of the change. This is explained by the fact that con- sumption does not follow up the markets as closely as it once did. Large quantities of beeves are kill ed and hung up in cold chambers forweeks before they are consumed; /; and this prevents the market from springing with the promptness often expected.-National Stockman.

The Determination of the Buffalo.

At the present time, outside oi
 the National park where about two
 hundred and sixty buffaloes are now
 harbored, there are not over three
 hundred, probably not as many,
 left in the whole United States. The
 survivors of this magnificent race
 "f animals are scattered in little
 punches in several localities. There are about one hundred in Montana or at least there were a year ago, some at the head of Dry creek and the remainder at the head of Por- cupine creek. In Wyoming there are few stragglers from the Ma tional Park which, when chased, run back there for protection. In the mountains of Colorado last summer there were two punches of mountain bison, one of twenty-five head and the ether eleven. These have probably been killed. There are none in Dakota, though eigh- teen months ago thirty were known to be there. It was estimated in 1887 that there were twenty-seven in Nebraska, and about fifty more scattered in the western part of In dian territory and Kansas. Those in Nebraska have since been killed by the Sioux. Of the thousands that once inhs bitated Texas, only two small punches remain. Thir- ty-two head are near the Ratons, in the northwestern part of the Pan handle, and eight in the sand hills on the Staked plains north of the Pecos river. These were seen and counted on the 1st of April of last year. This estimate of the rem nant of great race is believed to be essentially correct. It was obtain ed from reliable and we'll informed persons thoughout the west, and in part from personal observations during the past years.-Franklin Satterthwaite, in Harper's Maga- zine for May.

The Parnell tribunal in it's pres ent estate recalls what Macaulay said about impeachment, as being impressive ceremonials having lit tie relation to administration of justice. The question the tribunal was appointed to try has already been settled. Sir Charles Russell has had an opportunity to make an eloquent and exhaustive speech a week long but it really had no sub- ject-matter in anything that was left before the court. Pigott's cross examination, followed by his flight and suicide, had left Mir. ParnelPs counsel nothing to say. The trib- unal. however, can not put up its shutters simply because there is no business. It must go on as long as either party chooses to submit what it considers evidence. The Times has probably spent as much money already Tn this way as it cares to throw away, and there is no occa- sion for the Parnell party to put in evidence on it's side. It looks, therefore, as if the tribunal might end it's sessions very much sooner than was expected when It was ap- pointed.-New York Times,
