SOME of the Republican organs are
greatly worried over the delegates New
Mexico Democrats will select TO represent
them in the national convention. Per
haps they may derive consolation from
the assurance that a most harmonious
territorial convention is in sight and that
a representative set of men avow6dly
loyal to the cause of free coinage will be
sent to Chicago. The Democrats of New
Mexico are working for principle and
they can not be made to swallow it at the
dictation of the Wall street goldites.

PRESS COMMENT.
The Legislative Session.

There are a number of reasons why the
legislature of New Mexico should not
meet in May, among others being the con-
fusion which would arise from having
the legislature meet two months after the
commencement of the fecal year of the
territory. The fiscal year begins on the
first Monday in March of each year and
after the first Monday of next March
there will be no funds available for any
territorial purpose unless session of the
legislature should be held before that
time, but Delegate Catron cares little for
such insignificant things as these when
he sees an advantage to be gained in
political way, even though it be remote.
He would not hesitate to close up the ter
ritorial institutions of learning If he saw
possible chance to provide some of his
political henchmen with positions at the
expense of the territory. The bill is for
the benefit of the politicians only, but
even the great Catron may not be able to
get it through congress. 1t may fall by
the wayside like the statehood bill.-Sil-
yer City Eagle.
"When Tommy Comes Marching
Home"
1t is thought that congress will soon
adjourn and New Mexico's delegate will
return to his constituents, and, of course,
request Col. Williams to announce the
showing made, by the record, as to the
innumerable things accomplished by the
man of "brains and energy" during the
session, for the territory.
The reception will be after the plan of
the (hic) meeting held in Albuquerque
about Christmas. Special stress will be
placed on the passage OF the anti-prize
| fight bill and of the commendatory reso-
luton of the preachers-t is, the New
Mexico ministers. Mention will also be
made of the fact that "Gov. Thornton
could have prevented the fight if he had
wanted to-" no reference, however, being
had in this connection, to the resolution
of the Ell Paso ministers compl,menting
the governor and Marshal Hall for their
Efforts in preventing the fight in New
Mexico, nor will any allusion be made to
the resolutions of the Republican terri
torlal committee, lately in session ct

ment of the prize-fght bill and in avoid
ing mention of the whereabouts of Ger
tain statehood measure and other unmen-
tionable things the meeting will proceed

A Good Business Woman.

Mrs. Eliza J. Nicholson, widow of George
Nicholson of the New Orleans Picayune,
who died recen tly, was for many years enc
of the most notable women in the South.

who was at once the controlling pro-
prietor and editor-in- chief of great

first woman connected with the press
in the South. AS pearl Rivers she be.

yune in the face of much adverse criticism.
She subsequently married the proprietor,
Colonel Holbrook, who died bequeathing
her the paper burdened with a debt OF
0,OO0. Her lawyers and relatives advised
her to take the thousand dollars award
ed her by law and abandon the
paper. The business manager, George
Nicholson, alone counseled her to keep it.
She took his advice, and through excellent
management and the aid of devoted
staff paid off the debt, built new offices.

at the head of successful establishments.
After two years, in 1873, she married Mr..
Nicholson, who continued to manage the
financial affairs of the paper, while she
had sole control of the editorial columns.

Park street in Alameda. In fact the artist
could have had no pigment at all for the
picture is made entirely of small pieces of
feathers cut in irregular shapes that are
htted together like mosaic work and pasted
on panel of wood. Taken altogether
the effect is not unpleasing, although the
picture cannot be considered a work of
art.
Mr.. Barry came into possession OF the
picture while on a recent trip 10 Central
America and prizes it very highly. The
dealer from whom he bought 1t could give
no idea OF its origin further than to say
that he obtained it at sale of the effects
OF wealthy man. The picture is about
zuxZo lncbes in size and represents q
tropical landscape. In the distance a
mountain peak can be seen and IN the FORE
ground palm tree rises close to the ruins
OF an adobe house. Grass and weeds come
close down to the front of the picture.
Seen from a distance it would be impos-
slble to tell in what manner the picture
was executed, but it bears some resem-
biance to what is known as "Kensington"
painting. a close examination, however,
reveals lnnumerable bits of feathers Of ali
the hues known 10 science and looking
very much as if the artist had exhausted
the ornithological resources of the country
in his search for tints.
The sky is made of white and gray feath-
ers, with touch of blue at the top, and all
really blend together beautifully. The
distant mountains, however, are not
success, as they really look like cotton and
are painfully violent in color The house
is made of brilliant yellow feathers; with
small purple pieces pasted on for doors and
windows. The leaves of the palm tree APP

and the trunk is half of large quill. In
the foreground the grasses are 'laid on"
with the most awful green imaginable and
are apparently parrot feathers. Bits OF
very bright color are supposed to repre-
sent flowers and weeds.
The artist who did the work must have
had some knowledge of the colors of ma
ture and consumed weeks in the effort, as
thousands of pieces of feathers have been
used. Just what he intended to produce
is hard to conceive, but he did produce
curiosity. The work is far superior to any
