Texas Farm and Ranch is a first class
weekly agricultural paper published at

| strictly to it's business. In its last issue
it has the following sensible lines
Texas Farm and Ranch has recently
received number of articles for publi-
cation, on the political questions now
agitating the State. AS party politics
grow outside of our field fence, and on
other peoples land, We think it best not
to publish such matter We have not
| undertaken to shovel the accumulated
filth from the Augean stables, but will
leave the work to those who are expert

ger cart. Our mission is to do the best
we can to make farmers better farmers,
and not to spoil tolerable ones by max
ing bad politicians of them.
One incident of the campaign which
ended last week will survive to future
generations. 1t is the count of the
Young returning board, which convert
ed majority of 1870 votes for McEnery
into a minority of 459 votes. 1t will go
down in history hand-inh hand with the
Wells Anderson reconstruction meth
ods and the eight by-seven commission
which counted out Samuel j. Tilden
and gave the presidency to the fraudu-
lent pretender Hayes. All the perfumes
of Arabia will not wash away the shame
Of any Of these great frauds on the
rights of the people.-Baton Rouge Ad-
VOcate
The New Delta, for one week before
the election, rung all the changes on its
silly charge that the McEnery managers
had conspired to turn over the State
to Leonard by casting the McEnery
vote for that ticket. The result proves
the utter falsity of such charge, and
we are satisfied that even the New Del
ia itself never believed it. The CAM
paign liar will now subside for while.

GRANT RESOLUTIONS.

AT the meeting of the city council
last night the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
BE 10 resolved, That we, the COM
mon council of the city of East Las
Vegas, a municipal corporation ex-
listing within the limits of the Las

council, heartily approve of and in
dorse the decision of the Honorable
John w. Noble, secretary Of the in
terror, of December 9Th, 1891, in
reference to the Las Vegas grant,
and believe the same in harmony
with the original intent and purposes
of the Mexican government, and just
and equitable to all parties interested.
BE IL further resolCed, That we
deprecate any attempt on the part of
Millhiser and others to reopen before
the honorable secretary of the inter
Tor the decision already made, or to
suspend its operation, and we sincere
~ hope that any and all rehearing
prayed for will be promptly denied,
and that the decision of the courts
of the territory and of the depart
ment of the interior may now and
forever set at rest this veXed question
which has so long cast a cloud over
the prosperity of this community.
BE IL further resotced, That we
believe it to be the wish and sense
of the entire community that the de-
partment Of the interior carry into
effect and operation at once the de-
cision of December 9th, 1891, by
taking charge and directing the
government surveys to be extended
over the Las Vegas grant as speedily
as possible and that portion of the
same, under the said decision, held
to be public domain, be thrown open
at once to settlement.
BE 10 further resoired, That a copy
of these resolutions be spread upon
the records of this council and that
a copy thereof, duly certified, be for
warded to the Honorable John w.
Noble, secretary of the interior,

LOST AND FOUND.

A young Jewish lad by the name
of Sam Goldberg, came to town last
night, looking for his sister, Mrs.
Rosencranz. Not finding her here
as he expected to, lie lost courage as
any lad under 10 years of age would,
and cried as though his heart would
break. Policeman Joe Gray took
care of him, telephoned and tele-
graphed until he had found the peo-
pie he was looking for, and gave him
into the custody Of those who would
take care of him, while here. He
dined with Mr.. Judell to-day, and
tonight he will leave for Albuquer-
que, where he has a brother. The
sister he was looking for is Mrs.
Rosencranz, of Gallup, whom he
will probably visit.
But this story would not be COM
plete if we omitted to state the
facts of his coming from Petersburg,
Russia, to Chicago by himself, and
that although he has only been in
this country eight months, he can
speak English very well.

Already never arose out OF sheer

says writer in Scribner the Diff
culties depravities and insufficiency
OF actual life have been especially
manifest and oppressive. But the
poetic imagination at its best never
rests in discomfort in the mere APP
prehension and recital Of woes. 1t Is
creative and seeks remedy, or at
least refuge. From the first 1t has
found some approach to that peace
and sincerity which 1t cannot do with
out but which actual life seems to
deny. everywhere in nature. Thus
the poets tavorite haunt has always
been the wales and groves, the flow
cry banks and green fields. But ma
ture wholly unpeopled still failed to
satisfy. and so the poets in their In
spiration after earthly perfection fell
to colonizing their placid retreats
with children OF their fancy. Thus
came Arcady-the land of fantastic
shepherds and shepherdesses where
everybody was honest and simple
where the tending OF sheep was but
pastime, and the chanting Of madri-
gals the chief pursuits.

1.-THE better angels Of our nature,
often sing and smile In unangelic sit

The Detroit Free Press gives the fol,
lowing passage Of pathos in poverty,
and Of simple love In suffering and
death. The writer says atpassing
along the street he noticed q ragged
boot black culling the bright bios
SONS from q bruised and faded bou-
quet which q chamber-maid had
thrown from a chamber-window into
the street.
"What are you doing with that
bouquet, my lad?" was asked.
"Nawthin'," was the lads reply, as
he kept on at his work.
"But' do you love flowers so well
that you are willing to pick them
out ofthe mud?"
II s'pose that's my dizziness, an
none g. yourn."
"Oh, certainly; but you certainly
cannot expect to sell those faded
howers?"'
"Sell 'em! who wants to sell IN?
Pm goin'to take 'em to Lii"
"Oh, OIL Lii is your sweetheart, /
see."
"No, Lii is not my sweetheart
she's my sister," said the boy as his
eyes flashed. "Lil's been sick a long
time-an' lately she talked Of moth
IN but flowers an birds; but mother
tole me this mornin' that Lii would
die before the flowers and birds came
back"
The boys chin quivered and tears
came to his eyes.
Come with me to the florists and
your sister shall have a nice bou-
quet."
The littlo fellow was soon bound
ing home with his treasure. Next
day he appeared and said,-
81 came to thank you, sir, for Lii.
That bouquet done her SO much
good, and she Rugged and Rugged it
till she set herself to coughin' again.
She says she'll come bimeby and
work for you soon's she gifts WELL"
An order was sent to the florist to
give the boy every day q bouquetfor
Lii.
1t was only day or two ago that
the bootblack appeared again. He
stepped inside the Office door and
said
Thank you, sir, but Lil-Li"
(tears were streaming from his
eyes) "won't-need-the flowers any
more"
He went away quickly, but his
brief words had told the story. Lii
won't need the flowers any more, but
they will grow above her and the
birds will sing around her just the
same.
