The democratic county eonven-
tioa met in Rocky Fori last Sat1r-
day. They do say that II wEs the
biggest. most harmonious and most
enthusiasts convention ever held in
Otero county. but as this same thing
happens every time advocates Of
JefTerseaian simplicity Eneet. and
mas been happening in D.aver al
this week. We viii have % defer as
similating this statement until our
digestive apparatus IS in good work
ing order. We a-e 70. + condition
to digest yet. politically. md sJi.l
believe tina. the peo.le Viii continue
the party Of progress and prosper
ity in power for IN Indefinite period,
both in national. STATE AMI county
affairs.
The democrats always nominate
good ticket. Tney have nominated
one this year. but the trouble Is the
nomination period IS as far as they
ever get. Hope springs ete-na. IN
the democratic breast, but hope de-
ferred maketh the heart sick. and if
We We're a democrat tperish the
thought. We believe We would feel
like sending for doctor. The Per
sonnel of the democratic ticket this
year is equal 10 that Of two years
ago. which, with the exception OF
two candidates, was defeated. The
exceptions won out by small ma
jority, and as both of the exceptions
have harder game this year OF
grace. it is fair TO presume that the
republican ticket in its entirety will
be elected
The ticket nominated is as for
lows: Representative, W. b. Eb-
bert; commissioner, third district. +.
NJ. Harsin; treasurer. j. w. Sher-
man: county clerk, K. c. Todd:
sheriff. II. w. Potter; assessor, c.
w. Fenlason; coroner. DR.. J. Ed
Ray. surveyor, j. II. Ab!e- NO
nomination was made for county
superintendent of schools.
Among the resolutions passed by
the convention was the following:
Resolved, That the thanks of this
convention are due and are extend
ed 10 Mr.. Il. A. Steen, representa-
tive from this county to the legis-
lature of this state for his service
TO the county in that capacity and
for his consistent and honorable al
legiance to the party and to its best
interests. We sympatize with him
in his present illness and express our
earnest hope that he shall soon be
restored to health and TO his former
sphere of usefulness.

PENSION EdPL0YEs.
Service in the Pennsylvania Kailtoa Regarded as Permanent.

" ~~@essA-AAve
 With the railroads the pension id1&
 mas been growing apace. In 1905 III
 Hiebenack, comptroller of tho pennS
 sylvania Railroad Go, compiled fo1
 the use of the international railWav
 congress a valuable book of statist3ca
 bearing upon all kinds of raiJknv
 provident institutions, and from itel
 pages We learn that at the date Of
 nis inquiry eighteen railroads re.| ported pension schemes, sixteen
 being in operation and two practical.
 " ready for launching.
 The benefciaries of these schenea represent about 24 per cent of tho total railway mileage of the United states, and number 5O0.OO0 souls, or about 3S per cent of the total enl- ployes in the country. The funds for carrying out these schemes represent annual appropriations not in excess or $l,55O,O00, when necessary to carry out the payment of pension al- loWances. while eight of the roads set aside originally as the basis Of pension or working funds an amount aggregating $600,0O0. Twelve of the roads have expended since orKan- ization an aggregate of $2.50O, 900, and the roads concerned were carrys ing on their pension rolls 3,20O names at the end of -.--, while tha aggregate mortality among pensions CTS numbered 1,15O.
 Although it was not the first t lnaugurate a pension system, tho Pennsylvania railroads system may be taken as the model. It has been followed by most of the roads when taking up the pension idea. In tha service of this great railroad, employ.@ ment is generally accepted as permaA nent. The age limit for entrance in the service to take advantage of tho pension plan is 35 years. so that a man may be retired at 65 with thirty years of service.
 Retirement is compulsory at 70 years of age, and may be mare vol~ nntary for incapacitation between thu ages of 65 and 69, after thirty yearss service. The pension allowance ie based on age and service, and is com> puted on the basis of 1 per cent oe he average monthly pay for the ten years preceding retirement. The railroad carried 2,134 names at tho close of 1903.-Leslie's Weekly.
