CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.
Tie Republicans of Santa Fe county
are perfectly willing that Councilman
stover's bill reattaching the precinct OF
Chilli to Bernalllo county shall become
law; they do not want Chilli very badly
and if the people ofltbat precinct desire to
be attached to Bernalillo county, let them
go; but the difficult thing will be how to
pay whatever amount OF taxes paid by
the Chilli people back to BernaiIlo;
Councilman Slower ought to know that
during the past two years Democratic
county officials have robbed and plum
dered this county and that taxes have
simply gone glimmering; take Chilli,
senator, but do not put any more burdens
on poor Santa Fe county than she already
has.
A prominent Democrat asserted this
morning, that if Mr.. Falls bill, for the
appointment Of commission OF five
attorneys for the codifcation OF the laws
passed, the governor would have to
promise to appoint at least two democrats
on that commission, else the bill would be
/ killed; the New MEXICAN believes that
Governor Prince will do exactly rs he
sees fit and act for the interests of the
people and will make no promises in this
matter.
The penitentary investigating commit
tee has not yet made any reports; the
PEOPLE are awaiting with breathless inter
est to have Chairman Gable explain why
it cost nearly double the amount, that 1t
costs now, under the Ross corrupt Doodle
administration. There will be lots OF
twisting to be sure, but the fact that $685.
600 year are being saved the people now
can not we'll be overcome.
The two backmsiling Democratic
sheets, the Sun here and the Democrat
in Albuquerque, are endeavoring to throw
as much mud as possible on the militia
warrant matter; the silence or the ap-
proval OF these blacknailers could have
been easily purchased, but it was not
deemed worth any ones while so to do,
even at the very low prices they could
have been had.
Sec. Thomas is proving himself first
class official and is giving full satisfaction
in the performance OF his duties, specially
in connection with the 29th Legislative
assembly. Even the bitter partisans OF
the house acknowledge this and are bound
to respect him. He is going on quietly
and steadily doing his duty and doing ii
as it ought to be done.
Applications for pardons are being
pressed for the following prisoners: No
berto Gonzales, James Curie, Federico
Jiron, Manuel Tafoya, DR.. Jas. r. Suther
land. 1t seems as if almost every mem
, Der Of the Legislature has some constituen
whom he wishes pardoned, and is obtain
+ ing the signatures of his brother member
for the purpose.
Mr.. Ancheta, the senator frcm Grant
! made his first remarks this morning
! They were iorcible and to the point, An'
t he certainly struck hard blow at wha
= he defined as clearing stro ng odo
' of Ross and Ashenfelter," and what 1t
} called the Shades of Logan county,"
The members are studying Mr.. Mills
school bill as it covers slxty-two printed
+, pages, it will be a few DAYS before the,
! get through with it; the school machinery
it provides for is quite elaborate an(
,, somewhat too elaborate in instances.
1t is reported that Mr.. Mills bill
2 providing for the organization OF new
3 counties, has for its main object the cres
4 ton out OF Grant county, of the county o
} Logan, with the county seat at Deming.
