SANTA FE.
N. NJ, March 1st, 1884.

ltlCal htHOspncTc HAS plhy cu InS
mischief with the "sure enough"
weather, and last week we had
more winter than has been known
for years, the snow falling to a
depth of six inches on Tuesday
night.
The opposition, or trump" coun-
Gil, still goes through the form of
meeting, calling the roll, and sol
emnly adjourning. They have
ceased to be amusing, have talked
themselves out, and nobody pays
any attention to them, SO that in
the role of patriotic citizens who sac
rifics themselves for principle, they
have no present admirers, though
it may be, their constituents, when
the senators elect return to give an
account of the legislation they have
accomplished tor their several
counties, will appreciate their no.
Bile conduct and contribute from
their own pockets the salaries the
senators should have drawn--be-
sides a public endorsement of the
wise, statesmanlike, and patriotic
conduct of their representatives.
But seriously, It'll public and cry
ing shame that these men who
were elected to the Council should
assume the attitude they have; it is
not only a direct injury to the To-
calities that they refuse to repre-
sent, but disgrace to the Terrific
ry which has for two years oeen
clamoring to Congress for an appro-
priation to enable it to enact some
most needed laws, the moment the
appropriation is made few men
who should know better, do all in
their power to hinder and delay
any legislation. 1t would be al
most what we deserve, if Congress
would refuse to make any further
appropriation for New Mexico leg,
islstion as thoae men boast that
nothing done at this session will
be valid, and they will try i'll every
way to thwart its action, but the best
informed men of both parties see
no sensible illegality in its acts.
The Council has a quorum and i.
doing business, even though foul
of its members do absent them
selves.
The school law has passed tho
house and will doubtless pass the
council. 1t is similar to the Kan
sas law, and is q measure OF incal
culable benefit to the Territory.
Another act of equal importanc,
introduced by Mr.. GALES, secur
ing to married women some of tn,
rights of other human beings, pass
ed the house yesterday with onl,
one dissenting vote.
An exemption law is also in
fair way OF being enacted securing
reasonable amount OF persona
property and a homestead not t,
exceed 81, 500 in value to the head
OF families. The Rey. o. p. Nc
Manesto of ColfAx, opposed this bill
violently, asserted that it was
dishonest measure, and that his ca
perience was that all classes c
people in the Territory were di,
honest. This was not hasty rC
mark, for he reiterated it, and sal
he would stand by it, which has nc
improved his former unpopular
ty.
Our District Court adiourne
, last night before sitting a fuI
month, and disposing of larg
amount of business.
A sub committee of the Gran
!, Jury composed Of two American
and one Mexican made a causti
report on the custom which ha
prevailed here of turning over
large amount of the school fund t

THE Health Conference to be held in
this city next month cannot fail to be pro-
ductive of many good results, not only to
this city, but also to the visitors.
The boards o. health Of every State and
nearly every city will be represented.
The danger of cholera in this country,
the means of preventing its introduction,
of restricting its ravages and of the isola-
tion and care of patients, will be the prin-
cipal subjects of discussion, but all matters
sanitary will be informally considered.
The visiting health officers can learn
many wholesome lessons from our clean
streets, good plumbing and the successful
operations of our sanitary regulations, and
our local health officials can profit from the
experience Of men in whose hands the well
fare of larger cities is entrusted.

Now that the assembling of Congress is
almost at hand the citizens will have an
other opportunity to press their claims for
a new city postoffico. The necessity is so
great and apparent that it cannot be re-
sisted. Nothing but contention over the
purchase of a site can interfere with the
accomplishment Of this great object. II the
citizens will cooperate with the Postmaster
in an earnest and harmonious effort, Con-
gress cannot fail to provide a postofIice
worthy Of the Capital City.

IT is good old Democratic tradition that
the Washington Monument could never be
completed until there was another Demo-
cratic President elected.
For twenty-four years it is said the un-
terrified have whispered to their children
that when the great shaft was finished the
Democrats would come marching home.
1t is very certain that the monument is
approaching completion, and very certain
that Democratic President has been
elected, and If the reader can find very
remarkable coincidence in the story he is
welcome to it.

DIR. o'DoNNELL, who travelled over the
country lecturing about the lepers that he
did not have with him, has attained his ambi-
tion. The object Of his tour and boom was
to promote his chances for election as
Coroner of San Francisco, and ho has sue
ceeded in overthrowing the candidates of
both regular parties for that position.
Perhaps DR.. O'Donnell's ideas about the
horrors of the Chinese quarters of San
Francisco can be turned to good account in

The Swain Court-Martial Is tho most

assembled in this country since the war,
and 1t is the first time brigadier-genoral
has been tried in time Of peace.
General Swain has pursued very
strange course in challenging so many of
fcers of his court, and 1t seems incredible
that he can have benefited his cause by the
aggressive steps taken.
Tho challenges were provocative of a
series OF sensations in the courtroom.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Respecting Commercial Agents Lii
cpnspa fu this Cfty.


Judge Smell this morning made an important
decision in respect to tho licenses OF COM
mercial agents. Lewis statsford, OF Baltimore,
was charged with being an unlicensed COM
morclal agent. Tho evidence was TO the effect
that ho was in the habit OF coming to this city
every week and soliciting business. When he
was arrested he had no license, but showed a
card from Mr.. ]. Q. Wilson, OF this city, who
had commercial agents license.
II was also proven that no paid Wilson for
the privilege 10 sell under his license.
The Court held that man who takes out n
license OF this character can allow another
person TO sell under the license, provided not
moro than ono person sells under the license
at the Same time. -.
The defendant was released.

Detective Ran recently returned from Louis

during his stay in that city he had an op-
portunity TO witness the manner In which the
famous and no less demoralizlng game OF

The Police Department OF this city for sey.
