THERE are cTanks and cranks, and
still other cranks, but the crankiest
sort Of a cranky crank is the crank who
acknowledges himself to be a crank
and glorifles in his crankyism. The
Grand Master of the independent
order Of Grant county cranks who is a
semi-proprietor of the Enterprise, and
by virtue of such propritorship often
writes a leading editorial, had a half
column IN the last issue Of that great
religious paper confessing himself a
crank, and to be in good company
claimed that all smart men were
cranks. Gan open confession" the
Methodist says, sis good for the soul, +"
but the welfare Of the soul receives
but little attention in New Mexico.
Hard, common sense is what has to
be cultivated here to win, and the
man who throws away all aspirations
to be known as the possessor of this
article and proudly proclaims his
crankyism is as pitiable an object as a
defeated candidate for aldermanic
honors. Pink, we feel sorry for you,
but remember this is not the first
partner you have had similarly amict-
ed. Keep an eye on him and pray to
your maker that when his crankyism
gets entire control Of him that he win
be harmless, and not go hunting for
you with a six-shooter as the other
one did.

AT the meeting of the executive
COMMITTEES of the two parties at
SolOmonville, the republican com
mitties suggested a division Of the
ticket, the democrats to nominate
one representative to the con-
stitutional convention and the repub-
licans one The democratic COM
mittee refused to divide the ticket and
so there are two tickets in the field.
The democratic ticket is B. NJ. Craw-
ford and A. M. Paterson. The repub-
lican ticket is e. A. Cutter and c.. e.
Norman. Messrs. Cutter and
Norman are very popular men in
Graham county and have never been
defeated for any office to which they
aspired. The election is next Tues
day.

Opened.

LADIES'
We take pleasure in stating to
you that our spring of 1891 stock of
Dry Goods isnow upon our shelves
and counters.
It will be greater pleasure to
have you call and examine them.
A great deal was said last fall
about VIM. Mckinley and his fam
Gus bill One would have sup
posed that said bill was long
enough to sap the very life out of
the people, especially the pur-
chasing consumer. Ifyou will call
at our store we will endeayor to
disabuse your mind on this ques-
ton.
We can sell better values in Dry
Goods this season for less money
than they cost us last year. We
are not going into tariff or free
trade argument. The goods may
have been smuggled. If they
wereIwe don't know it; they came
to us in the regular way.
We think we have the finest dis
play of Dry Goods ever brought
to this Nation and we ask an in
spection.
Respectfully Yours,
SKINNER, RATcLIFF d Co.
