Timothy Hackworth and brought to
this country in 1888, is still in existence
snd in working order. Accompanying
it is a quaint old passenger car built in
imitation of stage coach, both stand
ing on some of the old scolloped or fish
belly rails. The engineer who first ran
the locomotive is still alive, and IL still

The Republican territorial league is
ready and anxious to place the organic
alton in active and effective organization
in every precinct in!the territory. Every
republican ought to take sufficient in
terest in the success of the party to
become a member Ct the league if there
is one in his locality and if there is none
within convenient reach he ought to
feel authorized to institute one there.
Much good will result from such meet
inge, socially as well as politically. To
give few hours tine each week to the
furtheranee ofIepublican principles will
make wiser and better citizens, stimu-
late needed enterprises, encourage i'm
migration, multiply school houses, ad-
vance education and add wealth to our
country and territory. We will take
pleasure III occurring the necessary dec
uments for any locality in Colfax county
where republicans have the necessary
enterprise to organize a league. We
expect to see one, at least, in every pre-
cinct in this county before the next
campaign opens. Now is the time to
commence the good work.
The foregoing is from the Ration
Range and applies as forcibly to Arizo-
na as it does to New Mexico. Let all
republicans unite Cd the one common
basis of forwarding the interests of the
party along.

WHEN the constitution makers were
in session the CITIZEN had no criticisms
to offer on their work, but preferred to
discuss the proposition as whole when
the labors of the convention were com
pleted and the results ip their entirety
were laid before US. This we anKiouslY
await. 1t is generally understood how
ever, that the constitution is to he voted
on December l, 1891. This is Il bad
feature AID will not commend Itself
favorably to the tax paying people. The
expenses attending the election IN
the eleven counties OF the territory
will necessarily aggregate large sum
OF money and involve additional ndebt-
edness upon the territory, which could
have been avoided by It's postponement
till the general election in 1892. In this
measure we think our law makers were
not wise. Efforts should be made in the
direction of lower taxes instead of un-
necessarily increasing them. However
as no change of date can be made and
the expenses nnEt be incurred, that
fact should not detfaet fran the
merits of the constitution if 1T has any.
The time allotted for its discussion is
exceedingly brief.

to $50, 900.

nance and differs from the old charter in

tee for re-drafting.

money from New York people on
various pretexts and without notifying
his wife or making arrangements with
his numerous creditors, he went by rail
to Boston and shipped for England. HE
denies that he was put in irons as he
was crossing the water, and while he
admits that he has been yery sick.

madhouse. He reached home penniless.

port from the Judiciary committee on
an amendment to the elections bill. at

arose and made a statement denying an
article in the Hartford Post, which stated
that he had headed a resolution to un.
seat Speaker Page. Representative Por-
ter, editor of the Post, said he believed
the article in substance to be true. A
wordy war enSued between Messrs
Walker and Porter.
Speaker Page took hand in the
debate, Gardner Green being called to
the chair. After considerable discussion
the scrap was finally dropped.
A bill was introduced preventing the
practice of physicians in the state, who
have not passed an examination before
the state board of examiners.
Mr. Green offered resolution raising
q committee to secure statue of the

A petition was introduced asking that

of the direct tax levied in 1862, shall
be turned over to the Storrs Agricultu.
