Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-04-19

On the final yots most Of the Republi-
cans recorded themselves in favor of tho
new rule, but they need not plume them
selves upon this fact. Their unpatriotic
course gave the organization of the pres
ent house, coupled with the treacherous
action of handful of eastern Democrats
occasion for the necessity for the adoption
of a rule which no sincere Democrat
really relshes. Fortunately Speaker
Crisp is endowed with both courage and
wisdom. He can be safely trusted to ex-
ercise the somewhat arbitrary power
placed in his hands with discretion and
impartiality. Let him do his whole duty
in the premises without fear or favor and
he will render a service of inestimable
value to the country. New Mexico is a
deeply interested spectator. The Obstruc-
tionlsts, for purely selfish and partisan
reasons, have so far prevented action on
the seventh respectful and reasonable ap-
plication of this territory for statehood.
They must now step aside.

HEROIC MEASURES ADOPTED.

Heroic measures have finally been taken
to force members of the house of repre-
sentatives to- give attention to urgent pub
lie business. Reference is here made to
the adoption of the new quorum counting
rule, which will hereafter prevent mem.
hers from obstructing legislation by re-
framing from answering to their names
at roll call. 1t clothes the speaker with
authority, under conservative conditions
TO count quorum if a quorum is actu-
ally on the floor, whether those present
vote or not. 1t is humilitating that the
house, with its large Democratic majori-
ty, was obliged to resort to this measure,
but under the circumstances it was never
theless right and will be generally and
heartily commended by the country.
