COMMENT OF CoMMITTEEMEN.
AT the conclusion of the senate com.
mittee's session a member stated that the
measure as received from the house was
full of Inconsistencies and inaccuracies,
and it was doubtful if any OF the terrific
ries could gain admittance to the union
under the bill in its present form even
should it become law. 1t will therefore
be materially amended. The errors, how
ever, are of such glaring nature that
they must be readily apparent to the
members of the house when once their
attention is called to them, and under
these circumstances it is believed that
should the bill as amended pass the senate
there Will be no trouble in securing the
Endorsement of the house to the amend
ments. The senate committee will meet
again to consider the matter.
NEW MEXICO MAKING FRIENDS.
Apparently there is not near so much
opposition to New Mexico as has hereto
fore existed since the people of that terri.
tory have taken the pains to make known
by petitions to congressman and through
the press their real condition, which turns
out to he much ahead Of that generally
accredited to that territory and its inhab-
itants. 1t may therefore be safely said
that New Mexico is making new and fast
friends in both branches of congress with
each passing day.
