The rumor lie afoat in Town, for
we heard it on Saturday, that the T.
and P. division, at Boyce, will be
moved to Alexandra in a few, short
months. This, we consider, a good
piece of news to give our readers, for
we know they will be pleased to hear
it. AT Boyce, where the division now
is, no less than from FIVE to eight
thousand dollars in cash is paid out
monthly-this will be brought here,
as also all the men employed in the
shops and yard, and their bosses and
their families, who will live here. All
know what this means-a big help to
our Town. And we are told that the
railroad men hail this news with plea
sure; they want to come to Alexan-
dria, they say, and the sooner the
better. This will be hard lick at
Boyce; We know-but then Alexau-
dria will be benefited by the move,
in whose cause we are enlisted. We
have thought that the change would
have been made sooner.

IT well known that there is u Demo
cratic ring in New Mexico. This ring de-
sires to control absolutely the United
States senatorships and state officers for
its members. No others need apply.
The ring is opposed to statehood because
it sees the handwriting on the wall and
can not control sufficient support even in
It's own party, However, the ring
worked" the Democratic central com
mittce for all that there is in it, and the
ring IS behind the manifesto issued by
the latter, directing and commanding the
Democrats of New Mexico to take no part
in the coming election for delegates to the
constitutional convention. 1t remains tC
be seen whether or not the body OF the
Democracy of the territory will allow it
itself 10 be bossed by few ringsters who
have nothing in view but personal az
grandizemont and political preermen
and who act from the most sordid anC
selfish of motives.

BuIor reform, fur and free election
and u just count are wanted, Public SEN
timenl is being aroused and several of the
states of the union have during the past
year adopted systems similar to the Aus
tr0iian ballot system. This is also in
vogue in several European countries and
has been found to work well. 1t secures
free nominations and All honest ballot, and
enables communities to select and then to
elect their best men. Its principal tea-
tlrCs are Us follows; 4 certain number Of
citizens may make nominations. The
ballot is furnished by the state and con-
tains the names Of all candidates properly
nominated. The voter enters the polling
place, and if found duly qualified he is
given a vote, and his name is entered and
checked as voted. Then he passes into n
compartment, where, unseen, he places 4
mark opposite to the name of the randl-
date he selects, folds his ballot sothat the
Official stamp comes "ppefihoSl' III" P"is
it in the ballot box. All this is done in
view Of agents selected by the different
candidates; tut the voters action is I'M
seen, and when he has completed it he
steps out unnoticed and unknown.
The Dominion Of Canada has added to
the Australian law corrupt-prarticcS
section, which runs to the effect that ii
any corrupt practice has been committed
by candidate for election, or by lis
agent, the election shall be null and void.

A Murderer's Fatalistic Discovery.

Lord Eldon, an English Judge, used
to tell strange story of the discovery Of
q twelve-year- old murder. The man
had been recognized by the brother of
his victim, but had escaped, enlisted
and gone to India. One day the brother
fell asleep in public house in Liver
pool and WAS awoke by some one pick
ing his pocket. The instant he opened
his eyes he exclaimed, "Good heavens,
that's the man that cut Jem's throat
twelve years ago." And so it was; the
man had just landed from troop ship,
and, good-lnck at last deserving him, he
had happened to try his thievish hands
upon the only man in the world who
could have brought him to the gallOws.

Age Of Orange Trees.

That the orange tree frequently at
tains great .e- is certain, and it is u
well ascertained fact that many of those
which are known to be at least one hun
dred years old appear to be in thelr
prime. 1t is even alleged that in the
Azores there are trees which have pro-
duced fruit after their third century.
We may take it, however, that as gen
eral rule the orange is at its best up to
d hundred years. and after that time
begins gradually to decay.
