her. Her people are conservative, and

are getting abundance OF help from
energetic immigrants, who go there to

average human will make a great ef-
fort to produce the article at home.
The difference in money is a wonder
full stimulant to the production of such
crops and articles as may be exported,
as illustrated in the coffee case. The
prosperity Of Mexico may be said to
date from the apparent decline in the
price of silver. She has now reached
the summit. Not the zenith of her
power and glory, but the summit Of
the hard hill she has had to climb to a
national existence. The balance of
trade is now in her favor, and she now
has a down-hill pull before her. II
present conditions continue for ten
years, she will be able to dictate terms
of reciprocity 10 the balance of the
world.
She will be able to manufacture
everything she requires, while her
mountains, her soil and hsr forests will
furnish the raw material. Her climate
is magnificent and wonderfully varied.
Her soil is rich and productive. Every
plant that grows may find a
home in Mexico.

REPUBLICAN OBLIGATIONS.

> The republican leaders are now in
sisting that every republican is bound
to vote for Catron, whether he ap.
proves of him or not, as a matter o.
party obligation. There is weight in
this argument sometimes, but not in
this case. When a man is selected by
a party, and urged to be its candidate,
its members owe him their legal sup
port. But m Catron's case it was the
reverse. He forced them to nominate
him by insisting on old pledges and by
more Objectionable means, against
their interests and directly contrary to
their interests; there were three or
four other gentlemen whose nomination
was equivalent to an election and
and whose popularity would have aided
the party in all doubtful counties. Sc
cured the legislature for the republi-
cans, and greatly aided in carrying the
county tickets.
With Catron, the reverse was the
case; his ~unpopularity was SO we'll
kcown that his nomination was con-
ceded to be sure defeat, and also GER
tain to lose the legislature and many
local tickets. 1t is we'll known, that
for months this was constantly repre-
sented to him, and he was urged to
retire SO that the party might succeed.
We know that here in town, on the
very morning of the convention, the
leading republicans from more than
half the counties went to him and
stated the facts plainly, showing him
that his persistence meant party defeat,
not only in the Territory at large, but
inp their particular counties, which could
otherwise be easily carried. They came
from Colfax andDona Ana, from Grant
and Sierra, and even from this county
and Santa Fe. They all begged him,
for the salvation of the party, to retire
and thus insure a grand victory, and
he @ss assured of defeat all along tbs
line Il he persisted in running. 1t was
a clear case between the good of the
party and personal s~elishness. Catron
Their had a chance to do the party a
real service and insure its success SIM

build the Sanitarium have been provided
tor, but we are without means to furnish
the building. We rave concluded, there
fore, to hold a fair during Thanksgiving

the building. We are dependent on the
generosity of the public to accomplish this
purpose; and desire to state that we do not
expect to get the necessary amount by
large donations, but by the mite from the
many. Hence, we hope that lone will re-

ton by which all will be benefited, and in
which all should feel an interest.
