Hon. Aniceto Abeytia, who has been

settlement OF the question is put of, the
worse all around.

THE MILITIA CLAIMS MATTER.

To the editor of the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, Jan. 81 was an interested
listener in the council chamber to-day,
when Mr.. Richardson offered his resolu-
ton on the militia warrants matter. Had
it made no reference to the scandalous
editorial vaporings of an irresponsible
writer unquestionably it would have met
with different fate. His question OF
privilege aimed at one thing and his
resolution had in view, chiefly, another
Be it said to- Mr.. Richardson's credit,
however, he pointedly dlsclsimed any in
dorsement Of the sentiments expressed in
the Suns editorial when the question
was put to him by Mr.. Perea. 1t is very
questionable if Mr.. Richardson himself
framed that resolution. After he sees
little more OF public life and becomes
better acquainted with the wiley Santa Fe
Democratic politician he will probably be
able to read between the lines, as lit were,
when such matters come up.
But the president expressed senti
ment in this connection which think
ought to 60 into cold type. The holders
of these militia claim, certainly have a
right to adopt any business method they
see fit to bring about complete investi
cation of these warrants to the end that,
shall they prove valid, claim for their
payment may be laid before the national
government. This is perfectly legitimate.
T snpI of lnI
corruption fund.-"
The raising of funds to straighten out
and clear up these claims by no means
implies that any effort is to be made to
buy up the legislators in behalf of favora-
BILE action. Nearly every western state
has had to do with this subject, and the
people at large manifested very de-
clded interest in having it settled one
way or the other. They felt it to be a
public duty; there is no reason Why New
Mexico should not take similar bust
ness-like view of it. 1t is to the direct
interest of hundreds of citizens to
have some conclusion reached
in the premises. But The
practice of certain irresponsible newsI q.
pers to make scandal out of all things not
emanating directly from the gang Of their
bosses, is here too apparent. They
would be sensational at the ex-
OF every best interest of New
Mexico, and they never let slip an
opportunity to injure the territory and its
people, and circulate abroad all manner
of scandalous charges, no matter how
sincere and honest are those who possess
wisdom enough to look ahead and plan
for the advancement of the territory and
the welfare OF its people.
AS the president OF the council ex-
