Those who are supporting the opposi-
ton movement in this county Justify
their course on the ground that the reg
ular Republican convention outraged and
defied public sentiment by the nomna-
ton of men for important places who are
VIGOROUSLY unfit and unworthy. They
object to a very considerable portion of
the Republican ticket, but their principal
objections are confined to two or three,
and notwithstanding the unsatisfactory
character of several other nominees, it
is altogether probable that if men &C.
ceptable to a majority of the party had
been named for these two places, there
would have been no opposition-at best
no organized oppostion-within the Re-
publican ranks, and if these names could
be taken off, and their places. filled by
those of men who command the respect
of the voters of the county, it is possible
that even yet portion of the ticket
might be saved, but as matters now stand
we see nothing for US but to accept the
nevitable.-Albuquerque Citizen.

To the Wool Growers Of New Mexico.

To the Wool Growers Of New Mexico.
The sheep industry of New Mexico has
shown quite an improvement in the past
two years. Not only has there been a
marked improvement in the number of
the sheep raised and grazed, but the
tendency OF the f1ockm master has been to
improve their sheep by introducing bet
ter grades. This has resulted in reducing
the number of carpet wool sheep material
ly. Grazers are finding out that it is
more profitable to sell off carpet wool
stock and raising sheep with a higher
grade of fleeces. 1t is gratifying to note
that this is not only the case in New
Mexico but in other sheep districts as
we'll. Stockmen are thinking more than
they used to, which has resulted in sew
eral progressive steps in the past few
years. 1t is a question whether scrubby,
low grade sheep are profitable for any
purpose. 1t is noticeable fact that
when they are sent in for mutton they
meet with very poor demand and have
a demoralizing influence on the general
trade. -Drovers' Journal.
All these Improvements are possible
and profitable under the wise and well
adjusted protective policy of the Republi-
can party. Remove the duty on wool as
the Democratic party proposes to do, and
the flockmasters will be impoverished
and the hocks will deteriorate to the
scrubbiest kind OF eCrubs.-Raton Range.
The Democracy Seeks to Destroy
New Mexico's Leading Indus
tries, Mining and Wool
Growing.
1t is an uphill pull all the way, that
our Democratic friends have in defending
their national platform in New Mexico,
since the two great industries of this terri
tory-mining and wool growing-would
be very seriously injured by the repeal Of
our present tariff laws. Our morning
nelghbor attempts to defend the attitude
of his party with regard to the repeal OF
the duty on lead ores, on the ground that
since these oree are used as fiuxes, and
since New Mexico has no great number
of smeltera, it doesn't make any differ
ence to us whether We have tariff on
such ores or not. We don't exactly
comprehend the logic Of that argument,
but by the same course of reasoning We
presume he could prove that we have no
interest in the tariff on wool because we
have no wooden factories.
A repeal of the tariff on lead ores would
undoubtedly benefit the great smelling
establishments of the country, because it
would enable them to buy their fuxes at
a lower price, while they could charge
the miner just the same for treating his
ores. But why should we be anxious to

The division Of the great public into
first, second and third classes on all Eng
hsh railways is one Of the things that
forces itself on the attention wherever
one travels on this side Of the Atlantic.
Not only are the railway carriages divid-
ed into compartments for each class, but
at many Of the stations separate wait
ing rooms and "booking offices" are pro-
vided. II does seem singular 10 see such
signs at the stations as First and second
class ladies' waiting room" and Third
class ladies waiting room" A critical
observer is likely TO wonder why the
companies do not set grammarian 10
keep watch on the sign painter Why
not let "ladies" stand first in these signs,
or better still, let "ladies' waiting room"
precede the designation as to class?
Perhaps the answer would be that it
has always been as it is-that IL, as long
as railways have existed-and that is a
sufficient answer so far as the people Of
England are concerned. That ii is a re-
Election upon an estimable lot of people
to call them second class ladies" or
third class ladies" does not seem to
have penetrated the minds of those re-
sponsible for this atrocity.-London Cor.

Carlyle's "Reminiscences" are smart,
though the great genius in them almost
oyershadows their smartness. Still, the
predominant egotism in them, the ac-
cent of self assertion, is never absent.
And Mrs. Carlyle's letters are smart, very
smart, though extremely fascinating in
their way-indeed, we do not wonder,
when we notice the predominating
though subtle egotism in both Carlyle
and his wife, that there was not a little
Of Earring between natures so much
alike in the one characteristic which
needs supplementing and abhors rivalry.
We should say that while smartness
may be combined with high genius and
great fascination, it cannot be combined
with those qualities which are Of the
very essence Of high bred society-ret-
icence, modesty, fastidious taste. Self
forgetfulness and smartness are irrecon-
cilable qualities and self forgetfulness is
essential to the highest breeding. And
smartness, when it is not joined with
great genius, soon satiates, nay, even
nauseates. 1t is all very well in public
life, because all public life is intermit-
tent. But in private society smartness
wearies and overwhelms.
Mr.. Disraeli was smart, and in his
youth oppressively smart. When he
took Gibraltar by stori ~ changing
his cane at the evening gun, he was
smartness in excelss; but if we were
compelled to choose between smartness
in excelsis and Sunday school teacherism
in excelsis, we are disposed TO think that
Of the two great evils we should choose
the latter. Dizziness can be endured,
but glare-and smartness in excelsis is
full of glare-soon becomes intolerable.

On the occasion Of the opening Of parlia-
ment, during one Of the years when Pitt
was prime minister, the lords and com
mons were greatly perplexed by refer
ence TO the goldfish at Windsor castle,
which was introduced into the kings
speech, as read by Pitt. IL was not until
after both Pitt and King George were dead
that the explanation came out. The prime
minister, IL is related, had come to the king
at the palace with the speech from the
throne fully prepared. He found the king
seated at the edge Of the basin Of a foun-
tain earnestly regarding his goldfish sport
ing about in the water. Pitt read the
speech. Does your majesty approve the
discourse" asked the minister II will
approve It, but only on one condition." said
the king, "and that is that you introduce
in IL some reference to these fishes" The
king was obdurate and refused his author
ization Of the royal speech until Mr.. Pitt
had promised faithfully TO say something
IN IL about the royal goldfishes.--San Fran

Plugging the Tired Brain.

A singular discovery has been made
by DIR. Lauder Brunton. By an accident
he found out the secret of how to have
ideas at will. One night, after a long
days work, he was called upon to write
an article He sat down with pen, ink
and paper, and, as has very often hap
pened before under similar conditions,
not a single idea came into his head. He
then began TO reason and TO attempt to
find why the brain, which was appar-
emily the same as it was the day before,
when it worked normally, should refuse
TO respond TO the dictates of the will
He arrived at the conclusion that the day
before he was not tired, and that there
fore the circulation was brisker.
Continuing his cogitations he traced
the connection between cerebral circu-
lation and mental activity, and conclud-
ed that if the blood would not come 10
the brain the next best thing would be
to bring the brain down to the blood.
And this he did. The happy thought Of
laying his head fiat on the table sudden
ly flashed across the seat of the late in
activity, and at once his ideas began TO
flow and his pen ran swiftly across the
paper. The work progressed so well
that DR.. Brunton thought he might as
well sit up. But it would not do. The
moment he raised his head his mind re-
verified TO darkness, 50 he had to put
down his head again upon the table, and
finished the article in that position

The Love Of Fine Linen.

In the German household the love of
linen is a passion. During the French
wars under Napoleon, when from every
town and hamlet the terror stricken
people fed before the approaching
armies, before all else they sought to
save their many chests Of homespun
linen, and when peace returned what
had escaped the Argus eyed enemy was
tenfold more precious because Of the
horrors witnessed and the dreadful pangs
endured. And even today the German
woman prizes far above rubies her piles
of snowy linen, the labor Of many happy
hours.-Garden and Forest.

Beside the sea, above, below
The wrinkled, sunburned crags that bar
The oceans onset like foe,
And wild as wind and waters are,
The careless yellow peoples grow.
As tremulous as stars that glow
In fairer fields Of light afar;
Cliff born, but beautiful, they blow
Beside the sea.

Their rootlets tenderly they throw,
Nor storm nor solitude may mar,
Nor mists that wander to and fro,
The freedom that the poppies know
Beside the sea.

1858. l was not strong, and indeed was
hardly fit to be in the army at all. And
when / found myself exposed all day
long to a steady rain, and at night to
the outdoor air, with no fire, no change
Of clothing, no shelter but n canvas COW
ering open at both ends, through which
the rain dripped constantly, it seemed
certain that the death O. cold" 30 often
predicted must surely follow.
Why it did not follow was more Of .
mystery then, however, than 1t is now.
For 1 was in a place where the art OF
man no longer excluded one Of the prime
principles of health. I breathed pure
air because / could not help 1t. During
a service Of fifteen months, with severe
exposures, but fresh air constantly, the
same immunity from colds prevailed.

Fast locked with a golden key;
And a gold most rare In n woman's hair
And n gold In the sands at sea;

But never a gold so full and free,

leaves
Where the willow strews the sod,
But no such feathery nlagree,

Where the wild wind rides roughshod,

her a quantity Of a famous ~painkiller
she went from house to house admin
istering the remedy to the invalids and
left a number of bottles to be used after
she had gone. Returning to the village
some months after, the missionary was
met by the head man of the community,
who cheered and delighted her by this
intelligence: Teacher, we have come
over to your side. The medicine did us
80 much good that we have accepted

Overjoyed at this news, she was con.
Quoted to the house of her informant,
