CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.

No credit, cash in hand is better!
Col. Richard Hudson was fifty two
years Of age yesterday. May he live long
and prosper.
A round Of applause greeted Mr.. Torres
to-day when he made his speech on the
capitol removal job.
1t may turn out that the Florida coun-
ty movement will not be good and pro-
fitable investment; but W, % can tell?
Secretary Thomas presented all the
m embers and employees of the assembly
with package of soap on Saturday.
There was smile in some quarters
when word came up to the house to-day
that the council had killed Union county.
Union county has gone up the spout
and so has the sheriff office OF that coun-
ty for the coming two years; and "sll
on account Of Eliza"
Childers, with his grip, got in just in
time from California to see the capital re-
moyal question fade from his sight.
"The best laid plan of mice and men,"
etc.
The special council committee on peni-
Tertiary affairs gathered some real inter
esting testimony yesterday and this latter
is somewhat opposed to the testimony
obtained by the Gable committee, but
such is life and these things will happen.
The Commercial Club OF the city OF
Hamilton also come too late. The ten
thousand lots on the summit of the San
gre de Cristo Range might have had some
influence, but miss of an inch is as good
as miss OF mile.
Geo. L. Brooks, of Albuquerque, who
is good fellow and who will very likely
be secretary of the cattle sanitary board,
was about the capitol this morning. He
was little late, but then during the past
three weeks some real estate has been sold
and he is happy.
This afternoon Speaker Burns intro
duced house bill No 1888, an act to provide
for taxing Sleeping car and other COM
panies and corporations. The bill passed
the house at once and has gone to the
council. An excellent measure and it
should be at once passed
Judge ]. D. Bail, one OF the best known
ern New Mexico, came up from Silver
Slty Ou yoSboIudy ulOIulub. Juubo oall
has little business to attend to before
the legislative assembly. and the chances
are that he will attend to it successfully
Capt. John II. Riley is doing telling
work in the matter of protecting Dona
Ana county. He says his people do not
want any slice of their county cut off fol-
tho benefit Of the new county Of Florida.
He is staying right with the Florida coun'
ty men and teaching them trick or two
in politics.
Judge J. D. Bail, who has been a citi.
zen of southern New Mexico for twenty.
five years, is opposed to the creation Of
Florida county. Judge Bail, who is highly
respected and honored all throughout
southern New Mexico, states that it is his
deliberate judgment that two-thirds of the
people and taxpayers of Grant county are
opposed to any division; that outside Of
the town Of Deming very few people can
be found who favor division at this time,
specially on account of the financial con.
dition of Grant county; it would be unfair
and unjust to divide the county upon the
terms proposed and it would be, he thinks
almost ruinous IN financial direction
Judge Bail is doing his level best to keer
the present dimensions Of Grant county
intact.
