a bill for the support of Chinese cheap

OIL 1or tue support Oh CAiEese cheap
labor.
Mr.. Catron asked Mr.. Richardson ii
there was any deficiency 80 far in the
Jury fund, the stenographer's fund, the
interpreters fund. The sheriff of Lincoln
county sent an account for eleven DAYS
court for $4,000 travelling expenses for
eleven horses, which made each of the |
horses travel 484 miles each day,
Mr.. Richardson: eli the sheriff did so |
he was of the same political party as the
gentleman that introduced this bill. |
This bill! is a fraud upon the people of
this territory. 1t my pass this house,
hut it will never pass the other house. If
they want to make the Democrats as
sumo the credit of increasing the
appropriations. they are ready to go to
the people rs having done so"
MIR. Slower: The gentleman asserts
the bill will not pass in the other house
does he carry the votes Of the other house
in his pocket?"
Mr.. Richardson knew they could not
get single Democrat to vote for this
bill it cuts off the stenographer in Colfax
county. Instead OF appropriating money
for books for the penitentary it would be
, better to supply few copies of this bill
and the gentleman offers no excuse for the
| bill
Mr.. Perea: "The omission OF
the stenographer for Colfax county
was al error of the printer and
he had an amendment in his hand to in
sert it in the proper place. The gentle
man is anticipating and not consistent, is
not for paying anything if the council
don't give him what he demands. Let
him show his figures if he is correct. The
sheriff OF Lincoln county that demanded
"a, 900 for eleven days OF court was James
Brent good, staunch Democrat, and not
a Republican, as the gentleman stated.
If this bill passes it takes 100000 out of
the First National bank of Santa Fee; if it
don't pass it remains in the bank.
When the Democratic judges got their
extra salary and expenses, it was
given by Republican legislature, but
the judges are changed, now the judges
know they have no show from a Demo
cratic branch of the legislature"
Mr.. Rirhardson-"What did the Re-
publican judges get previous to the Demo
cratic administration
Mr.. Perea-"In 1888 one Democratic
clerk got $25 900 and he SAID he divided
with the Judge of his district. Republican
clerks got less than one-fourth what the
Democratic clerks got and their pay was
! cut down by Republican legislature
, too"
Mr.. Ancheta would not say what
he could about Judge Henderson as
= he was dead, but the figures show
that he held court for weeks at Las
n o. 81
dong almost no business, to pay his po-
litical friends all the money for Jurors
8 and witnesses for the whole third district
8 80 that the other counties had no funds
3 for those purposes. If the gentleman
t hurled his politics in here he could get
< his fill of it, as he had the documents for
0 what he SAID. This is no political ques-
: ton. There has been no caucus. The
+ Republicans are not unanimous on this
bill, but they are unanimous in not per-
g hitting the Democrats plunging their
p hands into thetreatur and taking thous.
: ands th-refrom without a good object.

The Pauln public school bill again
came up as the special order and the
}. work was promptly taken up, at section
!, "a, and all sections adopted without i'm
= portant amendment down to section 81
8 This section in the original bill provides
3 that "all property, personal or real
ptuated in each school district, shall be

o 20 as to provide that all taxable property
y in the school district, whether owned b,
: residents or non-residents OF that district
J. shall be subject not only to the 3-milI
. levy, hut to the additional s mill levy
u also. Mr.. Fall opposed the amendment
70 vehemen,ly, contending that it was moi
y fair to tax the property OF non-residents o
e the district beyond the regular 3-mil
J levy, as such nonresident could receive
ID no direct benefit from such action.
