Too Soon.

The report about slate having been FORM
ed at Abbeville was started too soon. When
q false report is intended to influence the elec-
ton, parties ought u be careful about circu.
lating 1t too soon. II 1t is set af1oat too soon,
it can be so easily corrected, and then the act
of circulating false report Injuries the parties
in whose interests 1t was concocted. Ordinar-
lily q falsehood travels very fast, but give
truth little time, and 1t will overtake error.

The Reform Convention.

Next morning the daily newspapers gave
most excellent and interesting reports Of the
Reform Convention which assembled In Col
umbia last Thursday. The reports were all up
to the most admirable manner OF reporting.
As rule, the reports were impartial, with
out showing on their surface, the political
bias OF the printer. This, according TO our
way OF thinking. is the proper journalistic
course. We believe the reporter has no right
to inject his own opinions in paper which
purports to be notes Of the proceedings OF any
meeting.

Why Olives are cheap.

Do you know what makes olives so cheap9" the furnisher of dclectables said the other day. You wouldn't expect California olive grower to get rich when his olives are sold at a lit- tie more than the cost of the brineg l will tell you sccret-the trick of the olive trade.
 Down in the Genessee valley there are great fruit farms. There is one grower who has thirty acres of plum trees, 1000 of them now bearing. Each one yields three or four bushels of green plums. The plums are olive shaped, they are picked when green, sold to buyer who puts them in fan cy labeled bottles or in kegs, and they are sold for olives. They so much re- semble the genuine that no one but an epicure can detect that they arc not. Tricks in all trades, aren't there?"-Buffalo News.

The Oldest Known Vegetable.

Of all the plants used for food, there is none which has been so long known or has had, so to say, so distinguished a lineage as asparagus. It's record, in fact, reaches back to almost the com mencement of authentic history, as it is mentioned by the comic poet Cra- tinus, who died about 425 B. C., and was contemporary of, though slight ly older than, Aristophanes, says Chambers Journal.
 Among the Romans also the tasty vegetable was held in high esteem. Cato the elder-not the gentleman who was of opinion that Plato reason ed we'll, but his great-grandfather, who insisted upon the destruction of Carthage, and who was born 234 B. c.
 wrote work, which is still extant, "De Re Rustica, and in it he treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, also, in his Natural History" about 50 A. D). has much to say on the subject. "Of all the productions Of your gar den" he feelingly observes, "your chief care will be your asparagus" " and he deyotes several chapters and parts of chapters to it's many benefi- cent qualities and the best modes of raising it.
 He asserts that even in his day the soil about Ravenna was so favorable to its production that three heads grown in that district had been known to weigh Roman pound. As, how ever this pound seems to have been equal to only about eleven of our ounces, it would apparently have re- quired four of the stocks to reach pound of our weight: but this result, considering the state of horticulture in those.days, may be looked upon as wonderful enough, and has, in point Of fact, only been cqualed in our own times.

The rIburon Analr.

A City of Mexico paper has the fol- lowing:
 The Sonora papers have published the statement that Messrs. J. l.. Rob- inson and D. Tonton have been assas- sinated by Indians while on gold ex- petition into the interior of the state These gentlemen have lately arrived here well and hearty, but with hands empty of precious metals.
 In reference to the above, The Two Republics, the leading American pap CT of Mexico, says The Two Republics after careful and diligent search at all the hotels and places where there was possibility of locat- ing the personages in question, failed in finding him. and in consequence it can positively be asserted that there is no foundation whatever for the re- port, which is considered as the out come of a more imaginative brain than the Nacional scribe who invented the abduction tale some days ago. As a result to the concoction Of all this rot some apprehension is being felt by the Department of Foreign Affairs.

A school Election.

The LordsbuTg Liberal relates the following amusing account of recent school election over in Grant county,
 New Mexico:
 It has just come out tha there was considerable fun at the school election c.~ he lower GiIa. The old board, w.
 .foster, George Cosper and Lon Moore, assisted by the friends of Dom nie Hackett, tried to elect a board friendly to the donnie. Their candi- dates were Drew Windom, Cosper and Moore. Billy Wilson. Frank Shriver and others who believe in dancing, put up an opposition ticket. Mat Cav aness, c. F. Hill and Jep Castillo. The dancers were too many for the domi- nie's party. Then the fine Italian hand of Foster the ex-horse racer, ap- peared He said the opposition had no business to be elected and so the election board of which he was mem- Der, refused to certify to the election Of the successful candidates, and re- fused to administer to them'the oath of office as the law provides. The domi- nie and his party concluded to go to Silver City and have Superintendent Theliman throw the dancing crowd out. The dancers made night ride, beat the dominic in and squared the superintendent, who gave them the necessary blanks. He told the domi- nic he would have to take the matter to the district court if he wanted new election Before the election Billy Wilson promised if his party was sue. cessful he would give the school house or dancing acadamyn as it is now called, coat of paint. He will begin work on it as soon as the new board gets possession of the building.

Mr.. JOSEPH AND THE PEOPLE.

Reports which come from the trip which
Mr.. Joseph has been making through the
northern counties of the territory in
dictate that he has received a most en-
thusiastic reception at the hands of his
constituency. At the various points at
which he has spoken he has been received
by large crowds who have heard with in
terest his able exposition of the issues of
the day. The cordial greeting he is now
receiving from those whom he has served
30 faithfully in the past may be taken as
an evidence of the more substantial en-
dorsement which the results at the ballot
will give him a month hence. The New
MEXICAN learns with pleasure of the cor
diality of Mr.. Josephs reception by the
people, not because it is matter of par
tlsan qualification but because it is evil
dence that New Mexico is not prepared
to relegate to the rear those who have
staunchly defended her interests in the
past. Mr.. Joseph's career has been, for
the past ten years, that of typical rep
resentative of the people. No class of
New Mexican citizenship has been for
gotten in his presence at Washington;
and whenever the interests of the terri
tory could be subserved he has been
earnest and early in presenting her claims
for consideration. The columns of this
paper will in the near future have good
deal to say about Mr.. Joseph's record,
Just as for the last few days 1t has had
quite little to say about that of his OPP
ponent. The day upon which choice
between men will be made at the polls is
fast approaching; and it shall be our pur-
pose to give such assistance in reaching
a conclusion as may be possible. Mean
while the people are, it seems, doing a
good deal of thinking for Themselves.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A COrnered Rat.

Mr.. CatrOn's newspapers allies are
greatly shocked by the scendalous con-
duct of the Democratic press in attacking
Catron's character and showing up his
record, and all of them are solemnly de-
pr coating indulgence in personalities.
Catron's own particular organ in Santa
Fe is in Mysteries of rage, and threatens
all manner of dire calamity to the Dem
ocrats If they "sass" the boss any more
about penitentiary brick.
eff the New MEXICAN persists even by
hint" says the Republican, sin refer
ring to this matter, this journal will pub
lish, and keep standing during the rest of
quents. Let those who are interested in
this look to it. If this hint is needed the
campaign from now on will be devoted
to the vital issues that interest the peo-
ple."
Mr.. Catron's attitude is strongly sug-
gestive of cornered rat. He will do
something desperate if the Democratic
terriers don't go away aud let him alone.
He doesn't want to be forced to resort to
violent retaliation; but if the terriers pick
him up by the back of the neck and shake
him any more, he will squeal just as hard
as he can. - Las Cruces Independe z

Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
