The fly has some advantage over n
ran. For instance. he has a pair OF
,ouble compound eyes. and with them
lie eau sec In any direction or In all di-
SECTIONS ~ once without for an instant
turning his head.
These eyes. says the Chicago Herald,
have four thousand distinct faces. and
all of them have direct communication
with the brain, so that II man comes
along on ono side Of him and "a lump of
sugar on the other, lie will be able %
watch both OF them and stay for the
sugar Sd long Is II Is safe on account OF
the man.
When he secs he can get one and
dodge the other, that is exactly what he
Gces, ard he does not have To twist his
neck in two trying TO keep track OF tho
opposits object.
The ay is particular about the mir he
brcathcs i!c hasn't u very big mouth,
and his lungs arc small ia proportion To
his body, but lac is particular what he
pats into them.
Good green tea, such as the best of
Tire groccrs sell for dollar, stepped
pretty strong and well swcctened, will
kin a. many ilies as drink OF IL. And
they will drink of il as readily as n
coon" viii play craps. II is estimated
That pound CT tea and two pounds of
sugar VIII rid z room Of nics within ten
days-thnt is, n small room.
Flies arc voracious caters. They 10
not care 80 much what they eat as when
they cat it. They are particular about
regular meals. They do not eat long at
time nor much 60 a time, but they eat
often.
Careful observers have stated that n
common house fly will cat forty-two
Thousand two hundred square meals in
twelve hours. One female fly will pro-
dnce twenty Thousand young ones In h
single day. and they viii develop so rap
idly as TO increase two hundred-fold In
weight in twenty-four hours.
Scientists have never been able to tell
how fy walks on the ceiling; or, rath-
or, they have never beea able TO agree
about IL. All Of them have told. but no
two are alike in their explanation. Some
say the fly has an air pump In each of
its numerous feet, and that he walks mp
there by creating vacuum in his in
step and allowing the pressure OF the
air 10 sustain hi.n.
Others think he carries a minute bot
Cle OF mucilagc around with him and
lubricates his hoofs with it, so that ho
can stay as long US he wants 70 on any
surface, no matter what the attraction
OF gravity may have to say about IL.
between thssc two schools OF thought
you may take your choice.

The different precincts in Santa Fe
county voted for precinct officers last
Monday. There is nothing strange about
that. But 10 carry on the style of former
occasions OF this kind in that county
there were two sets OF judges and clerks,
two polling places and two sets OF returns
made to two sets of county commissioners.
1t Is no wonder that Santa Fe county is
retarded in growth as much it is, and
they can never expect anything better as
long as such proceedings continue. Fol
som Metropolitan.
The disgraceful middle in this, the
capital county of New Mexico, is, as the
Folsom Metropolitan justly remarks, Of
great detriment and injury to this city
and county, and no one is to blame for it
except the gang, that has caused the
theft of the Galisteo ballot box and must
keep in power Until there is a change
in the management of this county and
until the Democratic bosses who have
held this county in subsection for severa
years past ard who piled up a great deb
with nothing to show for it, are made tt

THE bill recently passed by the senate
having for its object the curing of defects
in certain mining laws, and which was
detailed in these columns some weeks
ago, is now before the house, having been
favorably reported but with amendments
that, should it pass, will send it back to
the senate. Judging from the nature of
these amendments, however, it does not
seem probable that the body will decline
to concur. Among the house amend
ments are provisions preventing the relo-
cation of mining claims by persons who
neglect to perform the annual assessmen
work thereon; limiting the amount OF
placer ground that can be patented under
one application to forty acres; defining
mineral lands as lands containing lodes,
or rock in place, bearing gold, silver, cln-
nabar or other valuable metals in quanti-
ties sufficient to justify any reasonable
person in expanding money or labor
thereon. 1t also permits incorporated
cities or towns to locate town sites on
mineral lands, subject to certain restrc
tons, and provides that where mineral
lands are reserved from the operation of
land grants, proof shall be- submitted to
the secretary of the interior OF the char
acter of the land for which patent is
sought under such grant.

A GREAT deal has been said of late by
the Democratic and Mugwump press re-
lative to President Harrson's "determi-
nation" to veto the silver bill, but that
they are talking for political effect is clear
ly evident. True, the president differs
materially with the western idea regard
ing silver, but should the free coinage bill
pass both branches of congress there is
scarcely any doubt whatever but that it
will become law. The president, having

REGULATION OF TIE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
THE New MEXICAN has done good and
hard work in the matter of the passage
OF high license bill and for the improve
ment of the present very inefficient and
detrimental system concerning the grant
ing of licenses and the New MExIcAN's
work bids fair to be successful in a large
measure; as they say, Rome was not
built in day, it cannot be expected
that too much can be accomplished at
once, but as The house passed the bill
regulating the liquor traffic on yesterday
by twenty-one to three and with slight
amendments only, it can truthfully
be said that good deal has
been accomplished in that line;
the New MEXICAN congratulates
the house of representatives upon the
vote cast yesterday in this matter Let
the council now agree to the house
amendments, send the bill to the gov.
ernor and then after it is signed, there
will be more cause for rejoicing and con-
gratulations, for indeed and in all truth
the better and more stringent regulation
of the liquor traffic in New Mexico has
become one Of the crying needs of the
hour; the low saloons and groggeries and
the bad whisky sold in them have brought
about and are at the bottom of nearly all
the crime and lawlessness that have dis
graced this fair territory during the past
few years and have had a tendency to
lmpoverish and demoralize the people.
Let the good work proceed.

In the cause Of the people, as against
monopolies and tax dodgers, we can en-
dorse even the New MEXICAN. We do
not doubt the sterling integrity Of our
Democratic members, and we therefore
have confidence that, If the effort to tax
Wells-Fargo & Co., should fail, the re-
sponslbility will rest with representatives
of the Republican party. But on one
point we are positive. If any member
should dare dirty his hands with express
company Doodle, the people will fix the
crime upon him in such way that he
can never evade the humilitating conse
quences. The people are on the alert in
this matter. -Deming Headlight.

The express charges in this territory are

to amend the revenue laws" in which
he provides for imposing license tax
upon everybody who engages in any sort
of business in the territory. The only
proper action for the Legislature to take
will regard to such taxes upon occups-
tons is to repeal the law for that pur-
pose at present upon our statute books,
and there stop. A feature Of the pro-
posed constitution which did more to
defeat that instrument than anything
else, was the clause which empowered
the legislature to levy just such tax as
that which Mr.. Burns proposes in his bill.
1t Is a kind OF taxation which is OBJ
noxious to the people, as we'll as unjust
and unfair in its operation. There are a
few classes Of business which, by com.
mon consent, may be made subject to
such tax, but the people will not sus'
tain the attempt to make such taxation

The delivery department of the Wells

alone, costs the company considerably
more than 81 200 per year. This amount
is spent in this community. If it is with.
drawn from the general circulation OF
business in the city, and then the people
are required to pay probably double that
amount for the delivery of their packages,
it will be found that the legislature did
but foolishly follow the lead Of the New

the express company. A net income tax
is all right. A gross income tax will
prove gross outrage on the people.-Las

THE COPYRIGHT BILL.

Its Friends Now Quite sanguine Of Its
Success.
The friends Of the international copyright
bill are now inclined to be quite sanguine of
success this session. According to the order of
business agreed upon by the Senate committee
yesterday the copyright bill holds n favorable
position, standing second in order of regular
succession after the apportionment bill is dis
posed of, and thus far there are no symptoms
of any break in the routine.
Mr.. R. U. Johnson Of the Century Magazine
was at the Capitol today and expressed himself
as hopeful Of the success of the measure within
short time. The friends Of the bill
in the Senate, he said, would en-
deavor to pass the bill in the form
in which it passed the House last year. while
the opposition to the international copyright
movement would be concentrated in an effort
to kill the bill by ENGRAVING upon il an amend
ment in favor of extending its privileges to the
chromO-lithographic interest
Any amendment, If adopted at this late tay
would be dangerous to the bill, owing to the
delay it would unavoidably produce, but this
particular amendment Is objected to by Mr.
johnson and the other chief promoters Of the
copyright measure as being intrinsically unde-
sirabie.
Ex-senator Chase Of Rhode Island the
virtual father Of the pending bill, il a,so in the
city. In conversation on the subject last
evening he grew very enthusiastic over the out
look, and predicted that the bill would GER
tainly be passed within q few days. He ex-
ment in terms which conceded substantially
with the views of Mr.. johnson on that point
He said that the amendment was designed to
defeat the bill, and for no other purpose.

TOPEKA, KAN, Jan. 2s.-Judge PETER was at
his desk in the editorial rooms Of the Kansas
Farmer early this morning and remained there
all day. He was besieged by callers Offering
congratulations on his nomination and later on
his election
1t il said human interest centers in the rising
and not in the setting sun. This epigram has
not been verified in the case of Senator In
gals. When he appeared in the Office or his
way to the dining room, after the vote had been
announced from the house, he was
besieged with a throng of friends and
admirers. eager to grasp mis- hand and
express their regret over his defeat. While he
was at dinner . crowd gathered around the din
ing room door and endeavored to obtain a
glimpse of the Atchison statesman. When he
came out he was again surrounded and was
showered with expressions Of good will and
kindly regard.
