CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.


The sheri6fs made another raid upon
the capitol to-day.
Some subtle work going on to remove
the county seat from Springer to Ration.
Let's see; $1.65-.74=.91. The latter
represents the surplus now in the terri
torial treasury. No wonder "the Democ-
racy hates surplus'
The Hon. Sigismundus Lindauer, is
sort of tough, sly and successful. He
came, he saw, he made Florida county
in the house; and what now, Mr.. Lin
dauer?
The appropriation bill did not come up
at 2: 80 this afternoon, as per agreement,
and was postponed until 10 a. m. to-
morrow. Another house caucus will be
held tonight.
At the Democratic caucus last night just
about four members were present who

What is everybody's business is no.
body's business-let the legislators bear
this in mind when it comes to selecting
custodian of the capital building and
grounds. No cumbersome commission
will do. That has been already demon
st.ated.
Capt. Joseph Saint, to whose energy,
foresight and zeal is largely due the pres
ent perfect cattle sanitary arrangements
in New Mexico, has been renominated as
a member of the sanitary commission.
Tis well, Capt. Saint is man Of fine
business qualities, practical cattle man,
and in every way qualified for the re-
sponsible duties of this position.
Gildersleeve, Felix Martinez & Co. de-
cided last night in the Democratic caucus
that they had to have their jury bill and
the public printer or no appropriations
for the coming two years. That's all
right, and now it remains to be seen how
the game will work within the next five
days. Will tb- Democratic bosses rule
or will the i Of the people dom
mate?

and its pue. lie house, citi-
zen who is owhat observant in
his nature SAID to-day: "There is lit
tie danger of it's failure; too much in it.
We understand the little game. They
stand pat, as it were, but sometimes a
man in this fix, holding pair Of fives,

This, to say the least, is ominous
The house committee on penitentiary
did not seek any information from Solici-
tor General Bartlett concerning the agree
ment existing between the board of peni-
Tertiary commissioners and Hon. T. B.
Catron as to furnishing the latter with
brick from the penitentiary. Oh no, the
committee did not want to know too
much; however, the agreement that does
exist, although the committee failed to
| find it, is perfectly proper and just one
and will be carried out.
| Col. Richard Hudson, Of Grant county,
| who has been here attending to the in
terests of the stock interests of New Mex
leo during the past six weeks, has done
most excellent and successful work for
them. He has worked hard and unself-
SHY and is entitled to the thanks and
gratitude of the stoCkmen. He has
been appointed member of the cat
tie sanitary board from southern New
Mexico, having been recommended for
the place by the Stock Growers associa-
ton, and will prove very valuable and
| cOmpetent man.
