POLITICAL POINTERS.

1t is very probable that the Republican
central committee will meet in Santa Fe
during the middle of June. High time.
The Democratic committee Of Eddy
county consists of L. If. Fierce, Eddy ;
r. I. Whitaker, Lookout; Peter Corn,
Lower Penasco.
Word comes from Rio Arriba county
that the chances are getting better daily
for the Republicans of that county and Of
rolling up splendid majority there at the
coming elections.
Angus Campbell and G. N. Wood, two
well known and respected citizens for
Grant county, will likely be nominated
for county commissioners Of that codnty
by the Republicans.
Our Democratic friends are out search
ing for candidate for sheriff; so far they
have failed to find q man in Dona Ana
county who is willing to be made vic
tim.-Rio Grande Republican,
The probabilities are that the tax slnsh
election fund will not be great this year
in this, Santa Fe, county. The tax pay
ers are waking up, and will not con
tribute as heretofore to the Democratic
slush campaign fund.
Arrangements are being made to Or
ganize Republican clubs in every precinct
in Santa Fe county. The best thing that
can be done. Judge Morrison, the presi-
dent of the territorial league, is working
hard in that direction, and he will sue
coed.
1t looks to a man up the tree as il I.
?. Gable would either be nominated by
the Democrats of Santa Fe county for the
council or for sheriff. If he should be-
come member of the council, would he
not make it hot, red hot, for that migrate
full old Monte. He ought to.
The Democratic county committee OF
Chavez county has called county con-
vention for the nomination of candidates
for county officers at Roswell on Wednes-
day, August 20, 1880. Tie chairman OF
the committee is John W. Poe, Roswell,
and Mark Howell, also OF Roswell, acts
as secretary.
The division of Lincoln county into
Lincoln, Chaves and Eddy, will give the
Republicans good show at the coming
elections in these sections, the people I'M
derstanding well that Republican legis-
lature did what they desired in that re-
spect. The majority of the people of
these counties favor statehood and vii!
vote accordingly.
A Republican league has been organ
lied in White Oaks with the following Of
fcers: President, Col. d. J. NJ. A. jew
EFT; vice-presidents, Aniceto Lueras and
Col. T. W. Heman. Executive commit
tee, &. B. Barber, G. d. Mayer, Esprit
don Lueras, U. Ozanne, E. Nc. b. IL
money. The league has already done
much good work and many native New
Mexicans are members of it. The Repub-
leans OF Lincoln are working quietly, but
their conventions will not be held early
and the several Republican League clubs
will have something to say about nomina-
tons.

A ST0CKMAN'S CHAT,
Fine Prices for Stock Steers-Condition
of the Santa Fe County Range.
NJ. Is. Bowman, manager OF the Buffalo

NJ. 3, Bowman, manager OF the Buffalo
Springs ranch, was in the city yesterday
from the southern part of Santa Fe
county and in response to inquiries by
New MEXICAN scribe related anything but
"tale OF woe" respecting the interests
in his locality. He said he had just made
sale OF 600 head Of stock cattle to J. a.
johnson for Kansas feeders that rather
pleased him as to prices. For yearlings
he received $3.50; threes and tours $lG.
The latter are in fairly good condition and
weigh about 800 pounds. Mr.. Bowman
is satisfied with these figures, but thinks
cattle will 90 higher during the next sixty
days. As to the Santa Fe county range
he says it is in excellent condition, there
being more grass now than at this season
during any year for the past eight years.

Tears pling up against the terrified
crofter, so that all slavish commands
were quickly assented to and additional
burdens were imposed without protest.
Outrages under this form of duress were
countless. But under the crofter's act
the crofter is absolutely independent of
proprietor or factor, as long as he pays
the 'fair rent' fixed bv the commas
sion. He may vote as he pleases, pay
his rent with his hat on, his children
may remain at home, or even marry,
without the proprietor's written con-
sent, and, marvel of land-Iaw progress,
he may worship at the established, the
free, or at a Catholic church, without
the vengeance of bigot master over-i
taking him. =
All this, in degree. is hopeful and
good. But l fear help has come to the
crofters too late. They possess many of
the noblest characteristics of the noble
Scotch race. Their home life, of which
l shall speak in the next article, and
their social betterment, barely possible
under new although wholly inadequate
conditions, would seem TO give no good
ground for announcement. There are
too few of them. Those who re.nain are
ny iutO sct-
Elements and there restricted from the
full development of their kindly instincts
and admirable energies by miserably in
sufficient areas of land. Ia brief,
the landlord class practically extir-
pated the crofter class before
they would permit the enactment OF
laws to protect the latter. 1t was like
specific law against specific murder after
the killing had been committed. Over
five sixths of the entire area of the
northern and western Scottish Highlands
are now in sheep-walks or game pre-
serves, aud principally the latter. l can
take you across Scotland through the
shires of Inverness and Ross, from
Beauty to Strome, and you may climb
every mountain peak between, without
your being able to count two score
crofter tillers of the soil. A land has
become desolate indeed when its roads
and by-paths are transformed into paths
for deer and courses for hounds, and
the blackened walls of once happy homes
int lairs for foxes and wolves.

The best time to ,io il is in the morning,
for two reasons. FIRST, because the hours

the full power at the nioiuspriug is more
likely to reduce Ia "a minimum the irrcgu-

When not carried in the pocket a watch
