be an applicant for the Office of United
States marshal, and Jas. s. Duncan is in
the field for the position, is the word that
comes over from Las Vegas.
In case the plans for aiding the Worlds
fair commission go through the assembly,
it is understood that Hon. T. B. Mills will
be selected as New Mexico's resident rep
resentive at Chicago during the Colum-
bian exposition. As good selection as
could be made.

Legislative tips from the Albuquerque
Citizen: The New MEXICAN is advocat-
ing many needed legislative reforms.
X \ Col. Chaves is fair and impair
tial as a presiding officer, and is recelv-
ing compliments from all parties
Several outside papers assert that Albu-
querque is making strong fight to &C.
cure the territorial capital. There has
been no movement of any kind in this
city to remove the capital The
legislature is urged to make liberal ap-
preparation to the insane asylum. The
territory is disgraced by the way it has
neglected this unfortunate class of the
community.
speaking OF the presence OF MeesrS.
Kushenbecker, Bland and Clancy at Dem
ing. as the guests of Representative
Stoval, a Deming correspondent says:
"The gentlemen comprising the party are
making thorough investigation of the
resources of southern Grant county, and
there is every reason to believe that their
report to the legislature will be of most
favorable nature and add much to the
prospects for new county with Deming
as the county seat. Although tho fight
for county division has but opened, the
chances for Florida county are bright.
Such step means much for Deming in
particular and the southern end of the
county in general"
In the, course of his message sent the
assembly to-day, transmitting official re-
ports, Gov. Prince makes this suggestion
Especial attention should also be given
in the drawing Of the appropriation bill
to the recommendations Of the treasurer,
whose clear statement of the condition of
every fund and interest account and whose
wise suggestions make intelligent action
on financial ubjeots comparatively easy.
And earnestly advise, in this connec-
ton, that this most important act Of the
session should be prepared and reported
not later than February and If possible
by January 26."
