SHARP LOBBY WORK.
How Millionaire Was Made the InnOcen
Instrument of the Game.

Instrument of the Game.
"If you will step out into the office Of
the sergeanO-at-arms, you will find old
Huntington sitting there with a bag OF
money brought here to defeat the funding
bill"
A note reading in about these words
was brought into the senate chamber one
afternoon by doorkeeper and put in the
hand of Senator Thurman. The Old Ro-
man glanced at it. There was no sigma
ture. The senator twisted the paper in
his fingers and sat still few moments.
Then he pulled out his red handkerchief
the bandanna-and blew his nose. He
got up and strolled out through the mar
BILE room and into the Office of the ser
geant-at-arms. Sure enough, there sat
Huntington holding a handbag, and in
confidential communication with him were
two well known members of the lobby.
Senator Thurman glanced a bout the room,
asked where French was and strolled back
to the senate chamber. He went in on
the Republican side, sat down by Senator
Edmunds' seat and showed the bit of pa
per. When Edmunds had read it, Thur
man whispered to him few words, got
up and crossed over to his own side of the
CndIn DER anu UOOR MS SeaI.
Presently Senator Edmunds got up,
went cut into the corridor and walked
into the Office of the sergeant-at-arms,
looked around and then, as if not finding
some one he was in search of, went back
to the chamber. Instead of resuming his
seat, he went over to Senator Conkling and
had few moments talk with him. Then
Conkling went out of the chamber, glanced
into the door of French's Office and came
back. A little later Senator Thurman got
the funding bill before the senate.
Then ensued a series of terrific attacks
on the influences which, it was asserted,
were arrayed against the measure. Thur
man, Edmunds and Conkling dashed the
unnamed lobby without mercy. The fund
ing bill went through practically without
opposition. Senators who had had honest
doubts about the expediency of the bill
did not venture to vote against it.
The anonymous note to Thurman was q
lobby trick. 1t came from man who had
failed to form business relations with
Huntington, and who saw the chance for
which the lobbyist is always waiting-to
get even. Huntington had just reached
the city and had come from the depot to
Oho CdplOOl W Inquire dDouO sOLne leBlsld
ton in which he was interested. There
WAS nothing more dangerous than night
shirt and toothbrush in the handbag to
which the senator imagined he chung with
care.
He had dropped into the Office of the
sergeant-at-arms, but it was a semipublic
waiting room, and he was chatting with
legislative agents while waiting to get his
information. His presence there at the
time had nothing to do with the funding
bill. Yet the smartest senators in the
whole body fell into the trap set for them.

MesIer and Evolution.

William H. Mills of San Francisco has
in his library two books written by John
Wesley, in which he says the founder of
Methodism put forth the theory of evolu-
ton. These books are entitled ''Wesley's
Philosophy" and were printed in New
York in 1928 by Mason g. Bangs. In
these books are many passages, asserting
In the strongest terms that there is a unity
in creation and controverting the theory
of special creations.

TO ask yOS honorable body and
the general public to inspect them
for yourselves. The necessity for
sewers from a sanitary and econ
omic standpoint has been before
the public for such a length of
time that every we'll informed per-
son must ere this fully under
stand the conditions which make
Their construction matter Of
imperative necessity, if we are
in fact DESTROYS OF protect
ing the lives of our people against
those classes of disease known as
"preventable" and of surrounding
ourselves with those comforts and
couveniences which are considered
absolutely necessary to any city
DESTROYS of having itself called a
modern city. The utility of sani-
tary sewerage is so patent to every
mind of average intelligence, and |
have so often discussed it before
that / can add nothing more to the
subject from that standpoint. The
system desired by Mr.. Gray for
present use will embrace all the
territory lying within the follow
ing boundaries: Bounded on the
north by Russell place, San Pedro
place, Magnolia avenue, Providence
street, Josephine and Grayson
streets; on the east by New
Pine street to Dawson street,
Braunfels avenue to Duval street,
Monumental street to Commerce
street and Palmetto street; on the
south by Arkansas avenue and
Southern Pacific railroad and
the west by South Flores
street diogonally to s.. A. q
P. r. r. to SaladO street, SaladO
street to Monterey street, S. A. & A.
P.R.R. to near fredericksburg road
The territory embraced within
the above lines is about 5,400 acres,
and contains fully eighty-five per
cent of our population.
1t will require in round numbers
70 miles of sewers to accommodate
the district as above provided for.
Mr.. Gray estimates the entire cost
at 1888, 56S.56. This includes the
system as above outlined in full
operation, and on every item 10
per cent. is added for contingencies.
As this estimate not only contains
the mains in the ground but it al
so includes 200 acres of land for
sewerage disposal, a pumping
plant, consisting of pumping sta
ton and boiler house, chimney,
pump we'll and screens, two five
million gallon pumps and boilers,
and 1000 feet of 20 inch cast iron
force main. In fact everything that
will complete the system to the
highest degree of perfection. The
practical question to be determin-
ed in the minds of our people is
whether it will pay to make this
investment.
l am fully aware that some are
inclined to Withhold their sanction
for this measure out of fear that it
will increase their taxes beyond
due proportions. l am fully pre-
pared to say that this system can
be inaugurated without any in
crease in the present tax rate, and
without an increase in the present
valuation of properties.
Say this system will cost $500

are issued bearing per cent. in.

Dy6s of this money will be ex-
pended at home among our own
people. 1t is an incident through
the expenditure Of this money for
a great work OF public need and

l believe every well disposed
person will say amen; for at no
time in the history of our city has
the honest laborer and working
man stood more in need of employ
ment for the support of himself
and those dependent on him. /
therefor respectfully suggest that

question to the enlightened judg-

ECONOMIC QUESTIONS.
DR.. Longstreet's Single Tax Talks
No Politics in It-An Flo
quent Speaker.

DR.. Longstreet delivered the first of his
series of lectures on the single tax last
night at the Presbyterian church. A
good crowd was in attendance and
throughout the hour and half the lee
ture lasted the deepest interest was
shown in the remarks of the speaker
DR.. Longstreet is an orator of no little
ability and his words carry with them the
conviction of earnestness and thorough
belief in his cause. He devoted most of
last nights lecture to a preliminary dis
cussion of mans right to hold land and
the direct tax question was discussed
only indirectly. Tonight lecture upon
political economy affecting this question
will be given to be followed by lectures
upon the tax itself and the practical
workings of the theory in New Zealand
and other places where it has been tried.
DR.. Longstreet says that there is no
politics in these lectures, their purpose
being merely to enlighten the country
upon subject that is being more and
more widely discussed. 1t is safe to say
that the lecture tonight and the others
throughout the week will be attended by
even larger crowds than that which heard
him last night.

Troops at Ration.

During their stay here of about forty
five minutes, Col Pearson treated the 500
or 600 citizens who had congregated at
the depot to guard-mount and serenade
by the 10th infantry band, composed of
about twenty-five members, in recip-
rocity of the kindly feelings In
which the troops were held during
their few months stay this sum-
mer. It was jolly crowd and
the boys we're kept busy shaking hands
with acquaintances. During guard
mount, the band dispensed sweet music
to the throng, and after the regular duty,
Leader Creutzberg kindly rendered a
serenade privately, which was highly APP
preciated and drew forth hearty applause.
The troops then boarded the train with
many misgivings and loath to leave the
sunny cline of New Mexico.-Raton Re-
porter.

AMONG THE MINERS.
Active Operations in South Santa Fe
COunty-A New Mill-The
Coal Pits.

Mr.. Hiram Brown, who was in from San
Pedro last night, says mining matters are
progressing nicely in that part of the
county, and there are more prospectors
at work whereabouts than for several
years past. The San Lazarus mine and
mill gives employment to twenty men;
the Copper company has ten men at as
sessment work and the Lucas mine and
mill IRE in full blast. The Lincoln
Lucky is shipping ore also and Mr..
Fitzgerrell, late of Ell Paso, is getting
machinery on the ground at Tuerto, half
a mile from Golden, for a new ten stamp
gold mill.
THE COAL MINES.
In the Santa Fe county Goa. fields there
is also much activity. DR.. Michaels, of
Los Angeles, CAL, and Mr.. W. M. O'Gara,
of Cerrillos, have leased the O'Mara bank
and expect to give employment to large
force of men. From Madrid the White
Ash mines are producing on an average
of about forty cars of coal day and the
Hard Coal mine about twenty. Miller
Gulch furnishes twenty cars daily, which
is all used for coking at Waldo station,
where there are fifty ovens burning. The
most of the White Ash coal and the coke
goes west, while the hard coal finds its
best market east. All the mines except
what is known as the Waldo mine are
running with full force.

Settled at Inst.

1t seems that the difficulties 80 long
pending between the local fire department
and the city authorities are at last in
fair way to be amicably adjusted. The
board of fire commissioners, composed
of Messrs. W. M. Berger, Jos. Sandoval,
Jas. Van Arsdell, Charles Bacon, W. G.
Ashdown and John Rouse, met last night
and agreed to turn all the fire apparatus
over to the city council. The formal
transfer was made to-day, legal papers
enumerating the property being given to
the councils committee on fire depart
ment. These commissioners have also
called an election for the third Thursday
IN this month, at which time the firemen
are to elect new chief and assistant
chief, the names of those selected to be
submitted to the city council for its ap-
proval. Should the firemen now act
wisely and select good, active men for
these responsible positions they will have
the united support of the community to
sustain them in securing the improve
ments they stand SO greatly in need of.

That Huge Joke.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Oct.9 l894.-Referring
to that plate glass affair in Mr.. Goebel's
store last Saturday we fail to see where
the "huge joke" comes in when we read
Mr.. G's notice advising us of the
breaking of a large window in the Catron
block, and requesting our attention.
The notice was at once acted upon by
our telegraphing to the insurance COM
pany, and not until last night, when MOTTO
ing in the NEW MEXICAN the article under
caption, "huge joke" were we corrected
in our error. The next "huge joke" may
possibly be sounding the fire bell and
shouting fire, then there will be another
opportunity for applause-by some at
least. 1t will be we'll to remember that
close relationship exists between "huge
Jokes" and insurance cancellation.
To all jokers Of the class above alluded
to we say: Stay away from our agency,
we do not want you. Apply for insur-
ance to the agent of principles differing
from ours.

POLITICAL MATTERS.
A Contemporaries Views on Short
CampaignS-NOtes on the
Campaign.

The Las Vegas Optic says: "a long
campaign in local elections is not neces-
sary, for really there are no general issues
to discuss; and the longer the candidate
is exposed, the more frequent, persistent
and outrageous are the attacks upon him
by the venal gang which lives by illegiti-
mate politics. The candidate is bled sys-
tematically, right and left, by the beggars,
blackmailers, thieves, scoundrels, pimps
and pariahs who hover about the TANKS
of every political army in every cam
paign, in every state and territory. And
nowhere is this systematic blood-sucking
more persistently practiced than in New
Mexico. Elections here are too expensive
by half. Many candidate right here in
San Miguel county has been made bank
rupt by running for office. Even when
successful many one has saddled him
self such load of debt that he has
found it impossible to escape therefrom
during his entire term of Office. In such
dilemma the officer, finding himself
heavily handicapped, too often yields to
the temptation to 60 crooked. To this
cause-camp aign debt-may be attributed
many defalcations, short comings and even
abscondings. Candidates., with mis-
taken notion of what is TO their real inter.
est during the tendency of the canvass,
have spent sums of money ranging all
the way from 81 900 to $4,000 and $4,000
to secure an election"
POLITICAL DOTS.
The Sierra County Black Range doesn't
| appear to care much about the Republi-
can nominee for delegate in congress.
Printed in small type at the head of it's
editorial column is this: "Ford Delegate
to Congress, L. B. Batron." The fact
that two such glaring typographical
errors should stand from week to week in
the Black Range certainly looks as if the
delegateship down that way is considered
of no special interest.
As usual thing most people vote as
nearly as they know in their own inter
ests and to the welfare of their state.
This is the reason that New Mexico will
give strong Democratic majority in
both houses this fall. Why, the people
would be crazy to do anything else!
Everybody knows that a Republican
legislature means setback for New
Mexico for ten years at least.-Raton Re-
porter.
All the citizens of Union county are
rel oicing over the nomination of Willard
A. Thompson, of Folsom, for representa-
tive from this district. Mr.. Thompson,
as all know, is we'll qualified for the posi-
ton of representative and will make his
mark at Santa Fe this fall if his friends
do by him as they should at the polls the
9Th of next month.
With such men as Severino Martinez,
John Morrow, John N Bracket, s. f.
Valdez and NJ. M. Salazar on their ticket,
Colfax county Democrats are this year
going to run up the biggest ajority
ever recorded in that county.
Private information received in Santa
Fe from Colfa1 county indicates that the
Democracy will do themselves proud IN
the majority they will give Mr.. Joseph
on Nov. 6.
There is much good feeling about
Democratic headquarters over the COM
ing of the Springer Stockman into the
Democratic fold.
