A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!
l28,O00 Acres Of Fine Land at
Sl,25 nar Acre,

los, 600 acres of Land in Western Texas,
watered by two never failing rivers of pure
water, with living water in different places
on the tract. Railroad runs through the
land for 40 miles and has four stations
within its boundary. The land has an ele-
walton of from 1900 to $500 leet above sea
level and an average rain fall according to
the signal report for the last ten years of
24.2 inches per annum. The country is of
limestone formation and is broken up into
hill, valley and table lands; producing
mesquite and gramma grasses on which
stock thrive all the year round without
other food. Fifty miles of fence will en-
close the whole tract; the increase can be
easily counted from 20 to 90 per cent. Stock
can be shipped direct from the rancho, thus
avoiding long drives. A like amount Of
land can lie leased from the state for 10
years at the rate of cents per acre per
annum, thereby making ranch of 296, 800
acres.

THEY WANT THE CONVENTION.

A good deal of effort is being put
forth by certain cities to secure the
presence of the coming national re-
publican convention. New York city,
Chicago, Saratoga, San Francisco,
Detroit and other large centers are
eagerly pushing their respective
claims for recognition, and the
struggle has already begun at head
quarters in Washington. The pres
ence of such convention means a
great deal for any city, and San
Francisco is so very anxious for the
prize that she offers to create fund
big enough to pay the expenses
of the delegates thither. The ques-
ton will doubtless be decided ac-
cording to political results likely to
be gained, and viewed in that light
New York stands a pretty good
chance, for any move which will
tend to ensure republican victory in
the Empire state would be looked
upon favorably by the national COM
mittee. Meantime the claims are be-
ing put in thickly, and the outcome
will be awaited with interest.
Since the above was in type the
national committee have voted for
Minneapolis and the date of the con-
vention fixed for June7, 1892. Hon.
John S. Clarkson OF Iowa succeeds
Senator Quay as chairman of the
committee and William Barbour of
New York succeeds w. w. Dudley as
treasurer. Minneapolis is certainly
to be congratulated on securing the

growth in independence thus shown
is decidedly refreshing. Four years
ago the Phoenix and CALIFORNIAN
stood almost alone in outspoken op-
position to the proposed extortion.
This year the indications are that
the press will be almost unit in re-
fusing to submit to it. There are
some members of the state commit

ALMYS FATE.
convention

The sentence melted out to Almy,
the murderer of Christie Warden, will
be looked upon as just one, and the
conclusion of this tragedy will be
cause for public congratulation. The
murder was a most brutal one, and
the circumstances under which it was
committed peculiarly horrifying. 1t
was the work of passionate fiend,
and the plea that Almy himself made
before the court-that of mad
frenzy'-offered no palliation for his
crime. There were not few people
who, when the murderer changed his
plea from mot guilty" to guilty."
feared that he might thus escape the
penalty he so richly deserved, and
the anxiety on this point was
not relieved until the announcement
of the judges decision on Thursday
afternoon. The community were in
a decidedly feverish state during the
trial, and that the court realized this
was evident from the fact that as
soon as the arguments were COM
pleted Almy was hurried back to the
prison at Concord. The interest in
the case from beginning to end was
widespread and intense

A FAST AGE.

1t is becoming more and more evil
dent every day that this is fast age,
and one can be excused for indulging
in surmises as to when the limit will
be reached. 1t is not a time when
people are satisfied to go slow"
In the great centers like New York
city, for instance, the present mail
service, at its best condition, is look
ed upon as rather too deliberate to
meet the demands of the business
men, and arrangements for the deliv-
cry of mail in certain quarters of the
city by means of pneumatic tubes are
being seriously considered. On the
race course and the railroad track
there is almost constant development
of increased rapidity. and time is DIS
counted at startling rate. Especial
attention has been called to this sub
ject by the recent achievement of the
stallion Palo Alto, who on the 18th
of this month broke all records and
made his mile in 2.OSs4. There is
nothing sleepy about the time in

THANKSGIVING DAY.

New England's annual festival, in
which she takes special pride be-
cause it is a season when families
unite around the Widespread table,
once more presents itself and will be
given the same cordial welcome
that has been accorded from its very
institution. While family ties are
strengthened and the social features
of the day may be made fruitful in
lasting pleasure, the opportunity for
the expression of gratitude to the
Great Giver of all bounties should
not be neglected. The abundance of
the crops, the general healthfulness
of the people, and the large degree of
prosperity which has been vouchsafed
to us as a nation call for willing
recognition; and this expression of
thankfulness may well include
sincere consideration of those who,
less fortunate than we, cannot enter
into the joyous sentiment of the dav
except so far as aided by u.s. The
extending of the helping hand to the
poor is duty incumbent upon all
who are in a condition so to do,
and but emphasizes their own ap-
probation of who has been bestowed
upon them.

COLLEGE FOOT BALL.

Twenty thousand people saw Yale
defeat Harvard at foot ball at Spring
field last Saturday and twice twenty
thousand people will yell themselves
hoarse at New York tomorrow at
the annual contest between Yale and
Princeton. Why call base ball the
national game when the contest is
between high-salaried professionals
and men who only play for the money
there is in it. The great game of the
colleges is now the Rugby game of
foot ball and every New England
college of any Importance has had an
eleven in the field this season. Some
of the smaller colleges have had ex-
cellent teams and in the deciding
game for the college championships t
Amherst last week neither Amherst
nor Williams scored a single point.
The game a now played in our col
leges is one combining brains and
muscle, but the best of feeling always
prevails between the opposing sides
and no bitterness is engendered by
any defeats. The Rugby game of
foot ball has come to stay and each
succeeding fall developes additional
interest in the game.

which 1t says, were provoked by
transformation. Does not the M oni-
tor know that there are nearly a
score of republican papers taking
exactly the same ground as the
CALIFORNIAN? The whole scheme is
unbusinesslike from start to finish
and the sooner the state committee
turn from the error of their ways
the better it will be for the interests
OF the republican party of the Green
Mountain state.
But the browning victory of this
contest as to who shall manage Yer
mont newspapers, the publishers or
the state committee, was secured
last week. The following from a
circular from the Boston Journal
gives the whole scheme away:
Il wish to advise you that the Journal
Newspaper company has declined a sec
ond proposition made by the republican
state committee to place the clubbing
arrangement for the weekly exclusively
in its hands; which proposal involved
charging 9Oct for the weekly Journal to
state publishers that did not reduce the
price OF their own papers and accept the
combination offer of the committee.
The Journal company will not advance
the clubbing rate already advertised by
you, but will accept all orders for weekly
Journals on the basis previously an
nounced-45ct or Sofas you may de-
sire. We prefer to deal directly with the
state publishers, and do not ask, nor ex-
pect them to make any reduction in the
price of their own papers in order to Sc
cure this low rate"
The Boston Journal had enough
sense to see that any such interior
ence with strictly newspaper bust
ness between themselves and Yer
mont publishers was an unwarrant-
ed piece of insolence. The second at
tempt of the republican state COM
mittee to interfere with other peo-
pies business was as ignominious a
failure as the first attempt. Will it
be three times and out, Mr.. Bald
win?
The CALIFORNIAN said last week
that unless Mr.. Baldwin changed his
tactics his resignation should be
speedily demanded. The events of
the past week show that he has been
goaded on to further action, and we
may have occasion to expose other
disreputable methods in this club
paper business later in the campaign.
The republican party of Vermont
cannot afford to begin the campaign
of 1892 in this way. Mr.. Baldwin
should step down and out.

THE STATE COMMITTEE AS NEWS
AGENTS.

1t must have been innate meanneSs
solely in somebody that instigated
the republican state committees re-
cent circular to the state papers re-
speeding clubbing rates with certain
city weeklies. Whether Verm ont
publishers reduce their own subscrip-
ton rates or not can make no fnan-
cial difference whatever to the COM
mittee, inasmuch as they pay so
much to each city paper per copy,
unless the act was expressly under
taken to produce the kicking" that
has ensued and lessen the number of
state papers that make the arrange
ment.-[ Mortified News.
Commenting on Chairman Bald
wins remark to the editor of the
Burlington Clipper that Vermont
newspapers exert very small polit-
ical influence the Rutland Herald
says:
The course of the committee in this
ma tier can be explained upon no
other. theory than that that august
body reckons the home newspapers
of little force. The idea apparently
is that dozen outside newspapers,
which may be wholly new to the
readers. will influence voters more
than hundred home sheets, which
the readers have had for years and
have confidence in.
The committee is liable to make
mistakes. And to test the soundness
of their view in this matter let them
suppose case. Let the republican
state committee suppose that Yer
mont newspapers ''started for" the
committee itself. How would they
like that kind of test of influence?
We cannot believe, however, that
much good came out of this clubbing
arrangement, except to advertise
city papers at the expense of the
state press. 1t seems that many of
the staunch republican papers rebel
at the suggestions thus made by the
state committee, and why shouldn't
they? Why reduce their price to en-
able foreign papers to obtain foot
hold? If the people wish to subscribe
for city papers they will do it regard
less of a meddling committee, and
who is it that does not take met
ropolitan paper already? The
scheme simply helps the city papers
circulation at the expense of the
country press Poultney Journal.
1t is understood that the republi-
can state committee do not find the
republican newspapers of the state
so ready to comply with their wishes
as they were four years ago and that
they have decided to give up the pro-
posed clubbing arrangement. Judg-
ing from what the prominent papers
of the state say on the subject, that
was a wise course to take Middle
bury Register.
The attempt of certain members Of
the republican state committee to
run the business of the republican
newspapers of Vermont has not
proved an unqualified success. So
tar as our observation has extended
only one paper has announced its in
tention to contribute the 25-cent
blackmail demanded, while almost
without exception the leading papers
avepromptly and decisively stepped
on the barefaced scheme. In this list
