The Ohio G. A. R. unanimously
and formally demand of congress
of the United States the passage Of
per diem service pension law, pure
and simple" We are becoming
more and more puzzled. Men do
not usually demand" expressions
OF gratitude from others, and we
have the authority of Congressman
Cutcheon for saying that the ex-sol-
diers represent "a better average Of
wealth and comfort" than any other
class of citizens. Sopensions can
not be "denanded' because they
are needed. The almost inevitable
conclusion is that the old soldiers
regard the wealth of the country as
theirs, and want it turned over to
them in installments of 5000, 100000
year.-Macon Telegraph.

The Republican State central
committee met in Atlanta on the
22nd inst. Eight congressional dis
tricts were represented. The most
important action was the adoption
of a resolution to put out tickets in
all the Congressional districts. The
matter of calling State convention
and putting out State ticket was
referred to the committee. Resolu-
tions were adopted strongly indoors
ing Buck. Other resolutions de-
nounced the white Republicans who
refuse to appoint negroes. This
stroke was for the special benefit of
census supervisors.

which was in substance at follows
We are convinced that if any
more advanced position is possible
to take than the one which the

Stanley asserts that there is space
enough in one section of the Upper
Congo basin to locate double the
number of negroes now in the Unit

negroes might become the owner of
nearly quarter square mile Of

the letting in of life.
Some time ngoa man while working at a saw
mill had one of his arms torn of. The only
physician near at hand was an old swamp doc
tor. who, as last chance, was sent for. When
he arrived the unfortunate man was rapidly
bleeding to death. The doctor whipped out
his lancet.
What are you going do?" the owner of the
mill asked
"Going to bleed him."

to stop his bleeding"

IT is worthy OF note that remarkable
improvements continue to be made in the
processes for extracting the precious met
ais from ores, In no subject has New
Mexico deeper interest at this time.
Our mining men have long been handi-
capped in their operations because Of the
excessive cost Of new methods of treat
ment heretofore introduced, having also
q reluctance to try any process not fully
proven to do all that was claimed for it,
now the tendency is toward simpler and
inexpensive machinery, one point receiv-
ing quite as much consideration as the
other, and within the past few months
the practicability Of several new
inventions has been 80 thoroughly demon
strated as to make them worthy Of con-
sideration at the hands OF our miners
The mining journals are full Of these new
processes, and should they be desired the
mine operators need not look very far to
gather data of their methods. This is a
reading age and no mining map can hope
to keep abreast of the times who does not
constantly keep up with the inventive
genius of the country, and only by read
ing can this be done.

AN OBJECT LESSON FOR REPUBLICANS,
A close study of The election returns
from Oregon does not disclose the fact
that Tree trade is gaining in that section,
Congressman Binger Herman, q strong
protectionist, has been reelected by the
largest majority he ever received, namely
S,799, and that for the fourth time. The
election Of Pennoyer, the Democratic
candidate for governor, by less than 900
majority, was brought about by quar-
rel among the Republicans in Portland.
The legislature is strongly Republican,
and will elect a Republican to succeed
Senator John II. Mitchell. The election
Of Pennoyer over his Republican oppo-
nent means that local jealousies and quar-
rels are bound to defeat any ticket. Tho
Republicans Of Oregon we're united on
all other issues and nominations, except
the one Of governor. They carried all by
handsome majorities, but lost the gov
ernor. Here is an object lesson that Re.
publicans all over the country, and right
here in New Mexico especially, will do
we'll to heed and take notice Of and act
accordingly.

The Democracy OF Texas is ali torn up,
although it has large majority in that
state. Atty, Gen. Hogg is making the
canvass for the gubernatorial nomination
on the Democratic ticket upon platform
demanding the creation Of railway
commission with legislative, judicial and
executive powers, and complete sub
ordination Of the railroads TO all and
every state interest, There are OF course
good many Democrats whe oppose his
nomination on such a platform. Never
.heless, the Democratic majority in
Texas is so large that the party can
stand good many rows, and be
successful st the polls, We violate no
confidence and give no party secrets
away in asserting that notwithstanding
the row in the Democratic ranks in Texas
this year, the Republicans have no
chance Of carrying that state for year
or two to come.

I his quiet and conscientious manner

IN his quiet and conscientious manner
Conn. Morgan is doing wonders for the
Indian department Of the government
these days. This department in time;
past has generally fallen to some weak
ling who seemed content to drag it along
at the tail end of the administration, little
caring how it resulted. Not go with Gen
Morgan. He is a man OF ideas and con.
victions, and he is bending every energy
to formulate policy that will result in
good not only to the poor, misguided rec
wards Of the nation, but benefit also the
people of the west, whose lot is cast &c
near them. Gen. Morgan is to be con
graduated upon the passage by the senate
Of his bill providing for the compulsory
education of Indian children.
