A Painful Operation.

A farmer shaving is one Of the most
painful sights ever witnessed outside
downright butchery. For some reason
beyond the present depth of knowledge
the man who "beards" in the country
always has a beard like a new hair
brush, and he can never learn how to
sharpen razor. He gets on the back
porch with his shaving utensils, and
after rubbing the razor over the strop in
an awkward fashion until whatever
trace of edge it may have had has been
destroyed he hangs up his broken glass,
and takes position alongside the
kitchen door, where the old lady will be
sure to jostle his arm when she goes out
to empty her dishwater.
With brush that has but little handle
remaining he manages to stir up a lot of
lather from soap that would raise bis
ter on the bottom of boys foot, and
with this he coats his face till nothing
but his eyes and the back of his head are
visible. With his thumb dipped in
warm water he goes over the stubble
again with vigor that makes his flesh
creep, until he feels that all reasonable
precautions for comfort in the subse-
quent operations have been taken.
Taking the razor and looking at it sus-
piciously over the top of his glasses, he
runs his thumb along the edge, fails to
draw blood as he had hoped, and then
with sigh grabs himself by the nose,
shuts his eyes and gives a scrape that
makes his hair stand on end, as a bunch
of bristles seems to come out by the roots.
But, once at it, a terrible desperation
seems to nerve him, and, with his teeth
set, he goes right ON with a determine
ton to get the agony over as soon as
possible.
Howls of woe break from him now
and then as an expression that poisons
life steals over his face and stops there
till the last nerve has been pulled out
of the socket by that terrible razor and
the last bit OF stubble has been laid
low.
Then, and only then, with sigh OF
relief, he strikes up hymn of thanks
giving and joyfully throws his shaving
paper into the ash pit near by.-Chicago

BROWN LOSES.
The Supreme Court In Banco
Sustains Spencer's Demurrer.
The Wailuku Water Cases Viii
Be Heard Before Commits
sfOner W. III. Halsfead.

The following three cases have
been decided by the Supreme Court
in banco. The decisions in each
case were filed yesterday and ali
were signed by the full Court.
In the matter of the Petition of
Charles A. Brown for a Writ of
Quo Warranto against Charles n.
Spencer, the present tax assessor,
the Court say -
"The matter came on for hearing
on the 23d Of November, and the re-
spondent filed a demurrer to the De-
tition setting forth five grounds of
demurrer. The second ground is
that the proceeding for a writ of
quo warranto will not lie under the
statute against this respondent
"We are of opinion that this
ground alone is decisive of this ques-
ton, consequently it becomes un-
necessary to consider the other
grounds"
In the writs of prohibition in the
Waikiki water cases the Court say
eve are of the opinion that the writ
applied for by Claus Spreckels ct al.
should be dismissed, and we allow
Mr.. Halstead to proceed to the trial
and judgment of the case in ques-
tion."
The particulars of this case have
appeared in the ADVERTISER and in
brief are as follows:
On the 18th of October the Wal
luku Sugar Company petitioned the
Supreme Court for writ of prohibi-
ton against Claus Spreckels ct al
and Mr.. Kaiue to prevent them from
proceeding further with the case
on the grounds that he was an inter,
ested party. At the same time Claus
Spreckels ct al filed a similar petit.
ton to prevent Mr.. w. III. Halstead
who had been appointed commits
sioner pro tenn" and the Waikiki
Sugar Company from proceeding
further with the case.

which is to be held in this city on the 18th

entering upon what is to be one Of the

The principal stock in trade at the DEM
ocratic county convention last Saturday
evening in this city was abuse OF I. b.
Catron, the citizen OF Santa Fe, who has
done more for its advancement than any
other one man here. The hyenss in human
form, who are engaged in this dirty and
cowardy work are welcome to all the
benefit they will derive from it for them
selves or their party. The gang has no
principles at stake except those of plumber
ing the people; the men who are slander-
ing Mr.. Catron are too well known here
to need much mention they have been
stepped in corruption whenever they have
managed, through fraud and stolen ballot
boxes, to hold Office. ...s~

THE LAND GRABBING CRY.

The cry of "lsnd grabber" 10 being raised
by the Democratic sheets and stump
speakers against Hon. 7. B. Catron why
is not this cry also raised against Mr..
Joseph, who will be the Democratic nomi-
inee? The NEW MEXICAN simply reminds
the people that Mr.. Joseph is large owner
OF land grants and is in favor of having
these grants settled by the land court,
exactly as is Mr.. Cstron. Mr.. Joseph
came by his interests in land grants eK-
actly as Mr.. Catron did, namely, by pur-
chase from heirs and assigns. Where is
the difference If Mr.. Catron 10 land
grabber, because he honestly and with
business sagacity purchased land grants,
why IS not Mr.. Joseph who did the same
thing also a land grabber? What ia
sauce for one, should certainly be sauce

Our Next Deleeate.

The territorial Republican, convention
held at Las Vegas on Thursday OF last
week, did It's work quickly and we'll. By
reclamation Thomas Benton Catron was
nominated to succeed Antonio Joseph as
delegate to congress.
There 10 no man In New Mexico 80
widely known as the nominee of the Re-
publican party for delegate. He has lived
In the territory for twenty-six years, dur.
ing half OF which period he has stood In
the frentranks with those conceded to be
endowed with superior brain force. AS a
lawyer he has long stood at the head Of
the column, as logician the peer Of the
sblest, as Republican giant and as 8
man one Of the shsrpest cut and finished
types OF the American ideal.
Catron is not sycophant or hypocrite
When "no" is the fitting word he employs
it instead of YES" usually given tc
break. He is brusque in manner, but
beneath his rough exterior is husbanded Q
heart as full OF sympathy for the unfor
tunate as beats within the breast of any
man. Those who know him best delight
to tell Of deeds Of his, which, If related tc
his defamers, would distress them to pro
| duce equals. Legion ID the name o.
those whom he has helped to footing tina

Catron came to this territory from hi
native state, Missouri, poor, and by force
of industry and God given powers o
endurance and intellect, be has acquired
q handsome fortune. As to be poor is nc
disgrace, so to be rich is no dishonor
Would that there were more rich anC
fewer poor men in the country and world
AS to be wealthy is no true indication o.
venslity, indeed is no indication at all
All OF Us would be rich if We only knew
how, but most of us amt built that way

we're not impaired thereby, for he reached
