The Boston Commercial Bulletin, an out and out goldbug, gives the following advice to its readers: "We repeat here, what we have % often asserted. Don't sell your stocks; let the Wall street mis- chiei makers sell to each other, but hold on to your own. If gold triumphs, prices will advance, and ii, bya miracle, free silver wins, there will be short spasm, but after that prices of everything will advance, securities perhaps more than anything else. Let your mindi be oc- cupied. not with what the Wall street bears evolve to frighten people, but with the conviction, that whatever the stand- ard of value, this country has not yet fulfilled it's mission, and that it will con. tlnue to be prosperous and free for gen. erstions to come |"

menttOneu lOf the Deie&ntebnlp.
From the Rlncon Weekly.
Two months intervene ere the time
Of the republican Territorial conven.
ton to nominate q candidate for dele
gate in congress, and 1t is we'll that a
glance should be taken ovsr the field to
ascertain the timber available with
which to make the fight. The republi-
can party Is not a one-man organiza-
ton, and no one man, ever though he
combine the qualities of Demosthenes
and Cicero, can hope to successfully
put himself up as greater than his par
ty. Thus, in the ranks of the republi-
car party in New Mexico, there are a
score or more of men, any one Of whom
could make a winning race and be a
credit to the Territory at the national
convention. Prominently among the
list are such men as John II. McFie,
Ma ,r w. ii. ii. L~lewellyn, s. b. New
comb, j. A. Ancheta, Pedro Perea,
Solomon Luna, M. A. Otero, Col. Max
Frost, l.. Is. Prince, Joe w. Dryer, T..
A. Finical, A. b. Laird and many
others. None of the gentlemen named
are, to our knowledge, seeking the po-
sition, but In the line Of duty, If the re-
publican party calls on them, they will
obey the mandate. A victory Is GER
tain with a good man at the head OF
the ticket, and no mistake should be
made.

Campaign NOVELTIES.

Campaign hats are the latest novel
ties. The Napoleonic is a hat de.
signed for republicans. 1t is a wool,
soft hat, with the sides turned up in
the style of the chapeau worn by Ma
p%oleon. There is a gold hat and a
silver hat, which are identical in shape.
The gold hat IS gold colored and
trimmed with q gold cord. The silver
hat is gray in color and trimmed with
a silver cord. A campaign hat that is
intended for everyday use, as we'll as
for wear in political parades, is a
smooth finished felt in the style Of a
tourist hat, creased in the top. The
tip, or lining, is printed with a party
device, and the hat is worn with or
without a campaign. button in the
band. And there are others.
Another campaign novelty is a
papier mache rooster. It is to be
largely utilized by the republicans. 1t
has q ierce-looking head, literally
bedaubed with red and yellow paint.
The flaming comb seems almost too
hot to touch, while the eye fairly
scintillates defiance. The neck is
clasped in one hand, while the other
holds a tape which is attached to the
rooster s iiafynx, IN which is concealed
a device that produces a sharp, loud
crow when the tape is pulled. 1t is
intended to equip whole clubs of cam
paigners with these Growing heads,
and when the votes are counted. they
will make a lot of noise.

1t behooves every citizen in city,

the stirring events that will occur In
this country and in the old world
within the next niue months. The re-

eve of the most exciting presidential
campaign in its history, European
politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their

abreast with the world one should
read, in addition to the local or
county paper. a live metropolitan
newspaper, such as The Twice "a Week
Republic, of ST. Louis. 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United
States, and 10 each issue it gives the
latest political news of all parties in
the field, the latest general news of the

WE are informed by up-country pa.
pers that the Colorado Fuel and Iror
company is trying to work a dea.
through whereby it will come into con
troll of the Atchison coal properties in
Colorado and New Mexico. From all
indications, the arrangements will be
made in a day or two, at a conference
to be held either at Pueblo or at Dem
YER. The combination is the outcome
of the coal war which was carried on
last winter it'll bad results to all the
companies then concerned. The fight
was a losing proposition on all sides.
The plan, as contemplated, is to have
the fuel company 60 into a contract to
take the entire output Of the Rockville,
Brookside and No. 5 mines in the Can
on district, the Starkville, Colo, and
Blossburg, N. M, mines and the Ger
rillos, N. NJ, hard coal mine. This
would make ar annual contract OF
about 600, 900 tons. The Goals of these
mines added to the Coal Creek, Trini-
dad, Rouse, Walsens and other mines
of the fuel company would give them
the bulk of the coal business in Colo
RADIO. The Atchison railway company
will continue to own the mines and will
no doubt retain enough of the out put
for their own use. The combine is not
expected to raise the price on coal, but
it will give the fuel company an OPP
porsunity TO do just Is they please

You are simply whistling to keep

Gov. Prince, after the record he has
made as a champion Of the free coinage
Of silver, could not accept the republi-

so, he would have to repudiate his
own u%tterances, endorse the money
plank in the St. Louis platform and
admit that he had been playing the
