THE Catronist organs have brought for
ward the name of Hon. Pedro Perea as a
candidate for governor-in case McKin-
ley is elected. This is contingency that
is daily growing more remote, but should
it happen there is no doubt that Gov.
Morrison will find strong combine
bucking his proposition.

PRESS COMMENT.
"A Costly and Vicious scheme.

Even such staunch Republican news
paper as the st. Louis Globe-Demo
now acknowledges that Secretary Morton
was "eminently correct" when he pro-
nounced against the free seed distribution
scheme. The entire affair is costly and
vicious farce, which should be done away
with. If the money is to be expended let
the government maintain experimental
stations in different sections for the dis
tribution of rare seed and the advance
ment of new ideas in agriculture. -Socorro

FROM political point of view the ap-
pointment of Hon. W. B. Childers as U.
s. attorney gives the greatest satisfac-
ton. Always fair and just in his politi-
cal life, he has never failed to render the
Democracy valuable service, and his
brilliant conduct as chairman of the ter
ritorial committee in 1890 is remembered
with much satisfaction by Democrats

A Word Of AdmOnitiOn.

The Las Vegas Optic pays the press of
New Mexico deserved compliment. So
far as enterprise and newsiness are con-
cerned, they earn the praise, and are su-
peror to the average of many old states.
But the territorial papers are given too
much to pickering over the interests of
the political parasites of New Mexico.
Brethren of the press, steer clear of the
pot-hunters, for they are of no practical
benefit to you. You do not need them;
though they need you in their business,
they never put up, they never share the
offices with the newspaper catspaws whom
they influence to make their fights and
keep them from dropping into obscurity.

wisdom in a Nutshell.

"Writing makes an exact man." says
Lord Bacon; the newspaper verities the
truth of the statement. Let anyone who
doubts this sit down and put on paper
some gossip with the purpose of having
it printed over his own name and he will
see in moment how little he knows
about matter he thought himself fa-
miliar with. And he will wonder, not that
the newspaper should contain occasional
inaccuracies and mis.statements, but that
it contains 80 few. And his wonder will
wonderfully increase when he remembers
that the editor has to depend for much OF
what he publishes on the common run of
mankind.-Las Vegas Optic.

Total delegates.


The county central committees of the
respective counties are hereby requested
to call county conventions to be held in
due time for the selection of the author
lied number Of delegates to said terri
torial convention in accordance with the
rules and regulations, or the usages and
practices of the party in each county. 1t
is suggested that primaries be held in the
various counties not later than May 30,
and that the county conventions be held
not later than June 6, 1896.
In carrying out the orders of this com
mittee at its said meeting, all Democrats
ard all those who intend to act with the
Democratic party are hereby invited to
participate in the primaries in the re-
spective counties.
In view of the great weight which the
Dem ocratic delegation from this territory
had in the last national convention in the
selection of candidates for president and
vice president, and in view of the magni-
tude of the interests involved in the com
ing national convention and of the re-
curing possibility for the exercise of po-
tent influence by New Mexicos delega-
ton, particularly in silver's cause, the
Democrats in all counties are urged to
make their voice heard in the primaries
and in the county conventions to the end
that our territorial convention may be
largely attended and representative
one, thus assuring the election of dele
tion to the national convention composed
of Democracy's strongest and truest sons.
This is vital year for silvers cause and
it is the hope of this committee that New
Mexico Democrats will take vital part,
beginning down at the primaries.

oRAcULAR HORSE HAIRS.

A3CuriOus Experiment to Determine
the Age of the Animal.
If perchance at any time you see a
man stealthily pull a hair from a
horses tail by the curling, you may
know tkat he has the experimental
stage of the horsehair fad.
The idea is this: Suspend gold
ring from a piece of hair over half a
glass Of cold water, and the ring will
begin to swing to and fro until it hits
the sides OF the glass Furthermore,
it will strike the exact age OF the
horse, or, if it be a persons hai1s of the
person upon whose mead it grew.
Recently horse stood by the door of
q shop OH side street. A hair from
his tail tied to the gold ring and duly
suspended swung twice only, the ring.

Yellow and White Corr

Upon the much discussed question:
OF whether there is a mat erial differ
#ence in the feeding Of yellow and white
com, Prof. G.. f. Morrow writes the
Metropolitan and Rural Home: Chem
8ical analysis shows no appreciable diff
terence dependent on the color Of corn.
There are many differences in the COM
position Of different varieties and con-
siderable difference in tile structure Of;
the kernels as to the hardness. In my
obseryat ton, yellow varieties are more
frequently hard than white ones, but
some Of the white varieties have very
hard kernels. While can give no rea-
son for tile fact. it is true Of hundreds
of varieties tested at different expert
ment stations that the average yield
of the white has been somewhat larger
than that of the yellow Probably y
majority Of the farmers believe that
white varieties have not. as much value
as the yellow. I have often heard the
expression that the yellow corn is more
heating. My own view is that neither
yield nor composition depends on the
color of the kernels; that some varie-
ties are much better in yield and
slightly better in quality of one color,
ana some Of the other"

"A Rotted Sod for Potatoes.

Sod land is generally used for pota-
toes, and for an early crop it should
be thoroughly rotten. Herein is one
of the chief advantages Of fall blowing
for this crop. When a soil is very fer
tile to precede the potatoes with corn.
The sod is broken late in the spring,
and the preparation for corn and the
cultivation of the. crops tears the sod
into pieces and causes. it to rot thor
oughly. This fits the soil for feeding
the potato plants the next season But
in land Of ordinary fertility the corn
crop makes too great a drain upon the
store Of plant-fOod; and this rotation
is not advisable. The next best thing
is to pillow sod land in the fall for po-
#tatOes, and thus secure some decay
during warm weather in the winter
and early spring. Corn thrives on fer
menting vegetable matter and is rank
feeder, but potatoes do better when
fortified with thoroughly rotten ma
nure, whether it be in the form of q
sod or barnyard fertilizer.

BRANNAN AND HIS PAL.
Officers Douglas and Higgins Cap
tured the Latter Yesterday.

Charles Brannan, the burglar who
was shot in the jaw by Percy Mccoy
at Seventeenth and n streets on
Wednesday night, is attended by City
Physician Nichols and was able yester-
day, though with difficulty, to take
some liquid nourishment.
He stuck to his story of having been
shot in the country, claiming that he
shot himself accidentally at Brighton
on that night. His story will do him
but little good, however, as officer
Harlow yesterday took his shoes out
and they fitted the tracks made at the
house that was burglarized and where
he was shot officers Higgins and
Douglas worked all day yesterday and
recovered some of the stolen articles
that had been sold to pawnbrokers, in
Guiding watch, some rings and jew
elry, and Brannan was identified by
the purchasers as the man who sold
them.
He is a tough-looking customer, and
two fingers of his right hand are miss
ing. The two officers did another good
piece of work, for they discovered that
Brannan had an associate and that he
also haG been selling a lot Of the
stolen property. They trailed him for
several hours and at last captured
him on N street, between Second and
Third. He had traded off his suit for
another one, but they captured him all
the same and took him to the station,
where he gave the name Of Frank Nc
Carty, and was identified as the person
who had sold some of the jewelry, in

Yesterdays cablegrams say that in
tense hatred of Americans has devel-
oped throughout Spain. And no Won
der. The Spanish people know that
however much diplomatic passages
may indulge in expressions of good
will and kindly regard, the people Of
the United States look upon the Span
ish attitude regarding Cuba as cruel,
heartless and deserving of all re-
proach. 1t is said that Castillo repre-
sents true Spanish sentiment, when
he demands abrogation of the treaties
of 1906 and 1877, which he denounces
as Gripping to Spain and humiliating
in the last degree. If Castillo really
reflects Spanish sentiment we take it
that there will be no serious objection
raised in the United States to cutting
loose from the Spanish treaties If
Spain can stand 1t so can the United
States.

AS was anticipated, DR.. Jameson and
his fellow nation-thieves who tried to
steal the Transvaal have been made
first-class misdemeanants. which means
that they will have their meals sent
into the prison from the outside; they
will not have to wear prison stripes,
nor police the prison, but may hire me-
malls to do that duty. Thus the crime
Of which these men were found guilty
is given a polish, and the English Gov
ernment confesses that it has more
than sympathy for the raiders. Prob
ably England needs them for other
similar service, and hence desires to
propitiate these filibusters.
