The above Clipping Is from the Con-
cord, New Hampshire, Men Tor, one Of
the largest rural free delivery districts in
the United States in contiguous to Con-
cord. The service there, as elsewhere, is
Immensely popular. New England far
mers, like their brethren throughout the
country, realize that rural free delivery is
the FIRST and only direct favor shown them
by the general government.
Rural free delivery has grown to i'm
mense proportions. K IS in operation in
all the States and Territories and in near
ly every Congressional District. Whole
counties are completely covered. 1t is
everywhere a magnificent success.
The suggestion made by the Monitor is
timely 1t is well known that the reve-
nues always run short under Democratic
administrations. A large appropriation
Will be required next lear-at least three
times as much as the present appropria-
ton of SI,75o,ooo.

will be needed. 1t would be well for far
mers to look to their own interests. The
service is safe in the hands of its pro-
moters With depleted resources it is in
great danger. In other words, a vote fer
Republican administration is vote for
Rural Free Delivery. An adverse vote
endangers it, to say the least.

Halloween Party.

AT the home of Miss Grace Roderick,
10 L King street, Halloween party
was given by number Of young ladies,
who, after little celebration by them
selves. invited the men to participate.
The interior of the house was given a
weird appearance by Jack O'Lanterns,
which furnished the only light for the
occasion. All the Halloween games inn
aginable were played. A bounti-
ful supper and refreshments were served
during the evening. One of the chic!
features of the supper was the mystic
cake, in which were baked ring, thimble
and coin, signifying that the lucky (or
unlucky) ones who secured the slices Of
cakes containing them were doomed,
to be married, an old maid
and rich. Miss Mary North got the ring,
Miss Irene Tabb the thimble and William
w. Hill the coin.

Election Day.

The designation of the day for holding
the Presidential election is left to Con-
gress. The first act passed by it relating
to that subject was in 1892. 1t provided
that Presidential electors should be APP
pointed within "a days before the first
Wednesday in December" This left
each State free to select day to suit it
self within those limits. Pennsylvania
chose electors on the last Friday in Octo-
ber Other States elected theirs on diff
ferent days between the beginning and
and middle of November.

THE STREET RAILWAY.
Its Route Has Been Determined Upon in
Part

City Engineer j.. L.. Zimmerman has
completed surveying about half of the
city, most of the work on the north side
being finished, while several blocks
have been surveyed on the south side.
The whole work probably will be COM
pleted by New Years. Mr.. Zimmerman
is at present engaged in work for the
electric street railway company. He
has established the grade for the line on
Montezuma avenue, and this afternoon
started to grade from the old gas works
east to the Bursum road, and on it to
the penitentiary clay banks, which will
be the terminus of the street railway
in that direction. From the Santa Fe
depot the line will run parallel with
the Santa Fe railroad to the peniten-
tiary. 1t is understood that it will CON
vey the clay from the clay banks to the
p~enitentiary to be used there in the
manufacture of bricks. From the plaza
the line will run out Washington ave-
nue. to connect with the road to the
clay banks.

COUNTY POLITICS.
Democrats Awakening and Talking Up
Candidates Republican Pot Still Sim
mering and Nav Boil Over Soon,

The friends of Telesforo Rivera, the
present assessor, are commencing to do
good work for his denomination. Mr..
Rivera is honest and a good man, and
will make a strong showing in the coun-
ty convention.
1t is now reported that the Republic
an primaries in Santa Fe county will be
held on Tuesday, 18th inst, and the Re-
publican county convention on Satur-
day, goth inst. Thus far this report has
not been verified.
1t looks about now as if the combine
will not control the Republican county
convention, and will not be able to NOM
mate bad and improper men. This is
the hope of the good and decent element
of the Republican party, and the hope
will likely be realized; this will prove
a mighty good thing for the people and
for the party.
Said a prominent Republican to a rep
resentative of the New Mexican to-day:
The Republican county ticket for this
county must be composed of good Re-
p~uDilcdHS anu SOOu IleI. oHOulu IL De
otherwise, there is a prevailing senti-
ment that a second Republican ticket,
consisting of the proper kind of men, be
placed in the field. Now let the men
who have the management of affairs
Republican in this county take heed in
time"
The Democrats of the county are
commencing to discuss politics. For the
council they are talking of two Of their
strongest men for a probable nomina-
ton, namely, Arthur Seligman and c,
F. Easley. It is very doubtful, however
if the former would consent to rum, and
hence it may we'll be presumed that
the nomination will go to Mr.. Easley

Montezuma lodge had a very enjoyable
time and expressed himself as very
highly pleased with the condition and
personnel of the lodge. A fine banquet

absence of the master, DR.. w. s..
HarrOun, the senior warden, Mr..

A German Editor Tries His Hand at Englisl
Requesting a Cow of the New Mexican,

The following postal card, reprinted
verbatim, was received by the New
Mexican yesterday. The writer thereof,
L. A. Platter, editor of the New
Augsburger Zeitung, is evidently an ed
ucated man and knows English. The
funny mistakes he makes are very nat
ural, and while somewhat laughable,
are easily excusable. Certainly the Eng
fish language is not easily learned, and
is hard to handle even after being
learned.

vance my best thanks for your COM
