In another column of to-days issue
will be found the long looked for ad-
vertisement of the Department of the
Interior calling for bids for the con-
struction of the Hondo reservoir. This
we'll has received for many days.
1t will give renewed life to every local

the Hondo reservoir building is pro-
crossing just as rapidly and satisfac-

could desire What is more crafty

protest has had no effect whatever
on the progress of the work, nor is
it believed that it will at all delay the
work When the government begins
an undertaking of this kind it does
not go into the work blindly. 1t is
highly probable that every possible
contention of the Pecos Irrigation com
pany was carefully considered by the
government long before any step was
taken toward its material construction

Presidential Campaign.

Tn q sense, the presidential campaign
may be said to be open now Tho two
great parties have appointed the places
and times FOR the meeting Of their ma
tlonal conventions, and soon va shall
hear of canvnsslng for nominations.
The contests will be for State delega-
lions and for membership thereof.
We see no special significance IN the
selection Of st. Louis az the Democratic
convention city, New York never was
in tho race. Its eastern location Is
against 1t, and 1t never went to work
very earnestly to secure the honor. 1t is
too big a city now TO care much whether
political convention fnvors 1t with It's
presence or not. And then, too, Tam
many likes an excursion and froltc.
Ttis 1t can better hnvo in a trip TO a
Western city. But that St. Louis should
have won over Chicago has caused sono
surprise, and various explanations of that
result haNs been made, but in none OF
trem has sufficient weight been given
to the fact that st. Louis Is the "Exposi-
ton city.
a national convention Is usually at
tended by from 10000 to $4,000 persons
+, ON q distance, and the city that can
offer them worlds fair as "a side
show to a convention has vast adj
vantage. Now, whether the conventions
work would be as well attended to IN
81. Louis as 1t would be in Chicago Is
another matter. We doubt If 1t would be
or can be, and If it turns out SO, 1t should
be a matter Of general regret The rem
edy for that trouhs, is for the people to
appoint delegates to St. Louis so faith
ful that not even tho attraction OF a
worlds fair will divert their attention
from their political duties.
So the National Democratic Convention
will be held in st. Louis on July 7th,
The delegates to it from Virginia will be
elected by q state convention, but when
and where that convention is to be held
is yet TO BIO determined. 1t Is for the
State Central Democratic Committee to
| decide.
