NOT A TMANcIER.

The other evening rousing rail-
road meeting was held at Gallup.
The promoters of the Patagonia,
Gallup g. North Pole road were
present and gave glowing accounts
of the resources of the country
through which the line would pass,
and several of the distinguished
residents of Gallup made eloquent
speeches favoring the early compile
ton of the road. Among those pres
ent were Col. Albright and Major
Jos. Il. Dixon, of the Democrat OF
this city. All through the meeting
Dixon was stunned by the glib way
the speakers discussed the raising
of millions to build the road. Joe
is not inancier. When he has rust
led an order for meal ticket from
the colonel he thinks he has accom-
plished a big thing in inancia
way, and the talk of syndicates anC
millions was beyond his depth
When he was called upon to ad
dress the multitude he did not soal
and deal in glittering generalities
but bluntly asked the chairman where
the money was to come from. Thi
was sumner, and has ruined joe
chances for Office in Gallup. Th'
chairman glowered; the visiting pro
moters sneered at such silly ques
tions, and Dixon stood on the Puer
co bridge at midnight and felt long
ings for other fields of journalist
labor.-Citizen.

WORLDS FAIR.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The
Worlds fair question was called up
by Mr.. Sayres, Texas, a member of
the committee on appropriation. Mr..
Sayres said, in explaining the reso-
luton for investigation, and that it
was understood that an applica-
ton would be made to congress,
either for loan of 100000 or the
investment of such sum in stock to
be held by the government.
Mr.. Dubarrow, Illinois chairman
of the Worlds fair committee, earn
estly supported substitute placing
the investigation in the hands of thai
committee.
After much discussion, the time
allowed for debate having expired
the speaker stated the question to b'
on an amendment offered by Mr.

The vote then recurred upon an
amendment offered by Mr.. Butler,

The substitute offered by Mr..
Dubarrow was rejected without di-
vision, and the resolution of the
committee on appropriations was
agreed to. 1t read as follows: "That
the committee on appropriations is
ordered to inquire and 70 report
whether those obligated and under
taking and now engaged to do so,
have justly and properly complied
with the requirements of the act OF
congress approved April 25, 1890
and whether all expenditures OF
whatever character for the exposi
ton had been judiciously made.".

WILL BUILD TO SAN PEDRO.

John G.. Moore, of New York,
the financial head of the Santa Fe
Southern, and a director in 10000
miles of railway lines in various
parts of the country, concluded his
business here on Saturday and left
during the night for Ell Paso and
City of Mexico.
After careful inspection of the
narrow gauge, running between Es-
pamela and this city, and as a result
of an estimate of the additional bus
mess to be secured by extending the
road from Santa Fe to Cerrillos and
San Pedro, Mr.. Moore stated there
was but one thing to do, and that at
once, to place the road upon a proh-
table basis, and that is to push the
line south into the coal and mineral
districts of the county. He said he
would urge upon the owners of the
line such action, and added that the
work of construction would begin
very soon.
This, then, would seem TO definite
ly settle this long pending questions
as matters now stand, the coming
weeks will develop some very inter
esting news for the people of Santa
Fe, Cerrillos and San Pedro respect
ing this much needed improvement
in their railway facilities.-New

REPORT CONFIRMED.

ST. Louis, Feb. s.-The report that
was circulated last Saturday to the
effect that the Missouri, Kansas q
Texas railway is about to extend its
line to st. Louis has since been con-
firmed. The intention is to organize
a new company for the purpose of
obtaining the necessary charter from
the state, and when this is done the
franchise can be turned over to the
Missouri, Kansas g. Texas. The
new corporation is to be capitalized
at 81, 100000, though, of course, it is
not expected that the new line can
be built for that sum.

MONDAY. DECEMBER II 1879:



Senstor Cullom. author of tn 'rt %
state commerce legislative imbeci
terribly cut up because in rece = q
cision Judge Gresham has rec d
another large part Of the er"'"!".
which that law stands. Judge Gresham
declares that $50 mach Of section - Of
the interstate commerce act as REQ o're>
the courts to use their powers in sd 81
inquiries before the interstate CONNER e
commission is unconstitutional anu
void"
It appears from an interview WITH
Senator Cullom that he will try to amend
the interstate law. The best way to
amend it is to repeal it and mike a new
and different law. The law is persistent!y
and regularly violated, and W der it there
appears to be no way Of stopping the
violations.
So far as the people are concerned as
the Peoria Herald observes the law has
been of little use II has benefited tbe
trunk lines, bu, has seriously hampered
the smaller lines. Perhaps the people Of
this country will! be able TO elect sen
ate one of these days that will be able
to pass law that is not saturated with
uhconstitutionslity.

Clevelsnd's popular majority Is est
mated at $50 600, figures unequSled since
the defeat of Greeley 20 years ago
Since his election as mayor of Buffalo it
is notable fact that Grover Cleveland
has never been beaten before the people.
though four years ago the gerrymander
involved in the electoral college pre-
vented his reelection. In 1884 he re-
ceived a popular majority of 27OOO in
1883 his popular majority had grown to
SO 600 now it is about Csc. 900 The s.
Louis Globe, commenting on the results
of the late election. says:
II is safe enough to sag that almost any
other democrat who was mentioned IN
connection with the nomination would, il
put at the head of the ticket, have bee
elected, but none of them would have Sc
cured the vote which was rolled Up for
Cleveland. Neither Illinois nor WiscOn>
sin could have contributed a man who
would have been as strong as Cleveland
in the west as whole, nor could Ohio
have done this. He created the issues
and marked out the lines on which the
victory has been gained. His free trade
message to congress in 1887 formed the
chief issue on which the campaigns of
1883 and 1892 turned. The defeat of
the former year he finds amply compen-
stated for in the brilliant triumph of the
present year. 1t is, in large Jegree, II
personal victory. and it is entirely proba.
