What Is the use OF making a better
article than your competitor II you

Ans.-As there Is no difference In
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while u profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.

A WONDERFUL thing happened 10
New Mexico politics last week. The
bids for doing the legislative printing
were opened by the secretary OF the
territory and II was decided that the
New Mexican was the lowest bidder
and the printing was awarded to that
paper. There was nothing wonderful
about this, however. Among the bid
ders were the Las Vegas Optic and
the Albuquerque Democrat. The
Optic complained that the secretary
was not fair In making the decision he
did. There was nothing wonderful
about this. II would have, been
wonderful II the Optic had not made
a kick. But when that paper did
make the kick the Albuquerque Dem
ocrat came out In an editorial and said
that Secretary Wallace was perfectly
fair In his award, that the New Mexl-
can put ID a bid lower by some four
teen dollars than that made by the
Democrat. and that the Optic never
was ia 1t in the bidding. The won
derful thing was that a democratic
paper in New Mexico conld admit thaI
a republican officer, under any condl
ton, had acted fairly and honestly.

THERE Is considerable talk Vbout
organizing a ranger force In the ter
rItory, aud 1t would be a good thing
for the legislature TO do. A well
equipped ranger force under the charge
OF such men as George Scarborough or
W. II. LOOMS would be OF inestlmaole
value 20 the territory, and would be a
matter OF great economy. When
there is a train robbery the rangers
could be scot after the robbers AID
their expenses would be much less
than the average sherih's posse that Is
made I'D on such occasions, and the

The grand jury OF Santa Fe county
has indicted Tom Tucker, charging
him with the murder Of Hippollte
Vigil, 1t will be remembered at the
time OF the Borrego trouble In Santa
Fe, that Vigil was one OF the Borregp
crowd, that the day the Borregos
were arrested Tom Tucker, Sheriff
Cunningham, and Page Otero, brother
OF the governor, made the arrests, aud
when they attempted to arrest Vigil
he resisted. there was a general shoot
ing match, and Vigil died. 1t does u
grand jury little credit to indict such
a man as Tucker for killing so repre-
hensIble s murderer as Vigil, wAile

IL Is very necessary, though, that the

BEING a territory there..is one great
scandal that New Msxico is free from,
that OF selecting a senator. In Call
fornla the papers are digging up the
court records Of two countries TO show
that Dan Bnrns is an unfit man for
the job. In Pennsylvania the courts
areIcalled on tosmake recoTds.to show
that Quay should not be elected. In
Michigan the famous Governor Pin
gree is sitting up nights trying to con
vince the members Of the legislature
that chaos will surely reign II Julius
Caesar Burrows is reelected. In
Nevada Congressman Newlands is
borrowing money to be used In con-
vlnclng the legislature that the crime
of '73 will be simply a mlsdemeanor
compared with the reelection Of Sena-
tor Stewart. New Mexico legislators
will have none Of these things bother

Let Us Have Peace.

The long campaign of the past four months has been brought to a close, and thus the curtain is rung down on the last act of the most ex- citing political contest that eyer disquieted Jefferson county. In many respects it was the most re- markable campaign ever witnessed by the oldest inhabitant, and those who have anhappily been in it and through it may never witness it's like again. Two primary elections, so bitterly fought and stubbornly contested, ending In such doubt and dissatisfaction. is altogether re- markable and unprecedented event in political history. But the end has come, and after four months of division and struggle, the matter has been finally and decisively set. tied, and public and Yriyate affairs can resume their usual won't
 There have been aerimony and bitterness, elimination and recrim- nation, but, now that the issue is settled, let peace be restored to a community so badly and recently rert by dissension. Let our people divert their attention from politics, and direct their efforts to restoring peace and prosperity to the city and county. The same zeal that has been employed in our political af- fairs, if directed and utilized in the development of our material and in- dustrial affairs, would make Pine BlSff one of the most prosperous manufacturing eenters in the South ern states. We, of the South. de. vote too much time and attentio to elections; if our state and county elections came only in periods Of four instead of two years, Arkansas would make more rapid progress in material development.
 But after all, the campaign, as ex- citing ard exasperating as it has been, has not been without benefc- ial results, It has directed public attention to the loose, and often reckless management of our party and the selection of its nominees, and will exercise a corrective and wholesome influence in the future. It has called attention to defects in our election laws and pointed out the evils that may be practiced under it, and will proba- bly, lead to the amendment of some of It's most obnoxious and objection able features, resulting in freer and fairer elections. It has been warn ing against fraud and unfairness in our primary system, and demon strates enthusiastically that demo- crats, however loyal, but dominated Dy spirit of ]ustlce and falr play, will revolt against such methods.
 The election is over, and it has not been without valuable lessons and experiences. Let the demo. cratic party of Jefferson county take these lessons to heart and prof it by them Tn the future.
 But, in the meantime, let old diff ferences be forgot, the bitterness ol the campaign put aside as thing aud incident of the past; let old friendships be renewed, and peace and tranquility restored to com munity, one of tbe most happy ant prosperous on the lace of the globe
