HIS CAI.lRER.

Neither does tho Democrat owe any thanks
TO Delegate Catron for the congressional
record. As he said when lest in Albuquerque.
he has nothing for the Democrat. = a ibu-
Qucrque cmocrat.
We can hardly conclude that any man,
capable os holding the position OF Del.
egate in Congress, would demonstrate
his insigniticance by a refusal to favor a
leading opposition paper with the little
courtesies common in public matters of
this nature. II the EAGLE should be
ignored in such a case it would not be
remarkable, because Mr.. Catron has
probably never heard of the EAGLE; but
in the case Of ltading Democratic
daily it is another question, and such an
attitude toward the paper would indi-
cate that the greatness of the high Off
cial referred to is principally in the
region of the waist band rather than In
his mental cBliber. We can but hope,
for Il C sake of New Mexico, that our
delegate in congress is large enough to
hold himself above petty political or per
nal spite. Now that be occupies the
position be does, by the votes of large
majority Of the people of this territory,
he ought to become the representative
OF all her citizens without reference to
their political views. If he does not be-
come such representative he is un.
worthy of the high office he holds.

LOGIC OF STATESMEN.

The treasury redeemed its notes in

Advice to a Budding journalist.

Reference has rightly been made to Mr..
Sala's kindness to journalistic beginners.
Here Is what G. A. s. wrote some years
ago to correspondent on the subject of

rst.-Lcarn shorthand thoroughly,

Tor situation as general reporter on the
staff of provincial newspaper.
Second. as many foreign Ian
guagcs as you have any aptitude for and
keep up your Latin and Greek, if any
Latin and Greek you have learned at
school.
"Third.-Read as many books on as
many subjects as you possibly can get &c
oess to and copy into q big book such pas
sages as you may think useful or interest
ing.
"Fourth.-Work as many hours a dsy
as you are physically and mentally able to
do"
By way Of P. S., Mr.. sala edded, "You

ho got back to Vionna, to the horror of the
royal cooks, ho ordered tho same dumplinps
to be served up daily.

coarse dish should figure on the menu,
and eyon his physicians demonstrated
against tho use Of such food.
The emperor had always been the most
plant of men, but be now showed that he
had will of his own and persisted in
gratifying his now fancy. Finally the
physicians pretended that it was dangerous
to his health to bo living on dumplings
