board of county commissioners. The
measure had rough sailing for awhile, but
finally got into port. During the de-
bate attending this measure its oppo-
nents claimed that it would increase the
present cost of running th counties
about $4,000.
THE NEW CODE.
The bar association code bill had q
narrow escape in the council yesterday
afternoon. Upon its passage the vote
was tie, but Councilman Desmarais
changed before the vote was announced,
so that the measure passed by vote of
7 to 5. 1t is believed that the measure
will have hardly as good luck IN the house.
LEGISLATIVE CHAT.
Hon. Frank W. Clancy was visitor in
the council this forenoon.
There was in sight sack cloth and ashes
for more than one poor legislative soul
to-day.
The house yesterday afternoon passed
the bill requiring juries instead of judges
to pass sentence on prisoners.
Representative Leaden's talk in the
house this morning was straight from the
shoulder and was generally approved.
When Mr.. Staab's militia warrant fund
ing bill struck Representative Hinkle's
inside coat pocket it struck hard place.
Judge Grayson and Mr.. L. A. Skelly,
prominent Silver City citizens, came up
this morning to witness the closing work
of the assembly.
Engrossing Clerk Modesto c. Ortiz, of
the council, was called to his home j.,
Albuquerque last evening by the serious
illness of his wife.
The question as to who is likely to sue

alleged Democratic members from San
Miguel county we're with them.

The counoilmen got together last even
ing and agreed upona number of bills for
consideration so that when that body met
to-day it got down promptly to work
with the result that many important
measures were passed. Among these
were the bill for sheriff's compensation
and one providing for the election of
city marshals by the people.
The New MEXICAN says the people of
Albuquerque are asking favors of the leg
islature. This is false. This city does
not receive dollar from the territory
and docs not wish anything from the
present gang of bribe takers who consti-
tute majority of both houses of the
present Observation-Disclosures Citizen.
The New MEXICAN is under obligations
to Representative Pine for we'll filed
case of wine made from Mission grapes
gathered from his vineyard in the heart
of the Mesilla valley. AS the New MEx1-
CAN knows little about such matters the
opinion of experts has been taken and
the unanimous judgment of all these is
that the quality of the beverage is most
admirable. Mr.. Pine is evidently as
much at home in scenes of hushandry as
in the halls of Legislature.
