COULDN'T REFORM THEM.
Senator PETERS Effort to Improve the
Customs of the Senators Fails.

Customs of the Senators Fails.
From State Journals Correspondent.
Washington, March 3O-The at
tempt of Senator PETER to reform the
expenses of the senate and particular
ly the allowance made for stationery
resulted in failure. Each senator now
has an allowance of SIPS a year for
stationery. If he uses more than that
he pays the difference, if less he
draws the difference in cash.
Senator PETER wanted the allowance
abolish ed and wanted the privilege
given to every senator of drawing on
his own requisitfon the stationery he
needed for his personal use. He
would do away with the keeping OF
penknives, combination cases, mani
cure sets, engraved plate pOcketkniVeS
and things of that character not prop
erly stationery, which are now kept in
the stationery room and can be got
out of the 1925 allowance. Fifty nine
senators are chairmen of committees
and usually use committee stationery
so they do not need the 1925 allowance
and by doing away with it much
money would be saved. If allowed to
get on Individual reQuiSition Just what
stationery they needed there would be
a great saving in the expenses of the
senate.
The proposition was characterized as
petty economy by several senators.
ate. Senator PETER does not think,
however, that any just economy is
unworthy and shows how these little
expenses sometimes grow into abnses.
To Journal correSpon- ent he said 4:
For long time these minor expenses
of the senate have been growing into
abuses. Twice the system has had to
be overhauled and now it needs it

SANTA FE, N. NJ, April goth, 1896
1t has become necessary to call the at
tention of the public to the conduc
which characterized the presence O.
certain young men of Santa Fe, on The
pail grounds, Sunday afternoon, the
18th inst.
This is not the first time their behav.
Tor has been open to censure; on previ.
GUS occasions, through respect for their
families. we gave no public indication
of u disapproval; but as the matter
has now assumed such a serious as
pect as to become a disgrace to the
ancient city, as we'll as to the young
men concerned, means must be tax. n
to prevent any further display of such
conduct.
During the game, yesterday, the
scene, as viewed by strangers visiting
the grounds, as a place OF recreation,
was a sad and disappointing one; for,
instead of the order and gentlemanly
behavior which should characterize a
game, in this, our anclent city, rowdy-
ism, of the most disgraceful kind, pre-.
vailed. When we consider that the
participants, IN yesterdays rufianism,
are members of the Santa Fe base ball
club, and the same who, last year., in
an open riot, disgraced themselves,
their team and their ancient city, we
feel it our duty, In justice to the pa
irons of the grounds, to call attention
to Gus O'Brien, VIM. NOVEL;, Charles
Morgan, Claire Webber and Ed. Hale,
whom we consider the ringleaders, in
yesterdays exhibition Of r%owdyism.
1t is to be hoped hat all who would
uphold the honor of our ancient city,
and particularly those whose ons In
enjoying their sports, must, of neces-
sity, come in contact with the above
C mentioned, will aid us in preventing
any further display of such disgraceful
conduct, in the future.
Very respectfully,

DELEGATE CATION has done good
work for Santa Fe by securing the pas
sage through the United States senate
of a bill donating the Fort Marcy mill
tary reservation TO DR.. Roberts Ma
tional Invalid Association for con-
sumptives. The house OF representa-
tives will in all likelihood pass the bill.
This will no doubt prove of great ben
eft to Santa Fe, if properly handled.
But, then, those people over there have
mighty little gratitude and generally
give no thanks to the men who help
them.

New Mexico Legislative Bill.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., April 18.-In
the house to-day Delegate Catron, Of
New Mexico, from the Territories COM
mittee, reported a bill providing that
upon the converting of the Territorial
legislature of New Mexico, any one
member of either house may administer
the oath of Office to the presiding officer
elect, and he shall administer the same
to the other members and officers.
"The object of the BILL" says an &C.
c%ompanying report, sis to modify the
existing laws so that the secretary OF
the Territory, an appointee of the pres
ident, shall not have arbitrary power
to organize the Legislature by ignoring
the legal certifica es Of election, as was
done at the organization of the last
legislature, at which time certificates
of election given to members elect by
the county board of canvassers, as
required by law, were ignored and per-
sons sworn in on trunped up certif-
Gates or on pretenses In no manner pro-
vided by law, and the political com
plexion of the legislature changed in

81 ours queer even in its most al.
vanced stages u c~iyilzetion, In this
stage tho most Civilized portions Of hu-
mainly are often impelled to rebellion
through fear; but 1t IS safe to assume
that envy has caused more trouble
than even fear in this harum scarum,
old world. In the struggles that have
swept society the fears OF the people
were played upon by the envious--the
foxy ones who when they saw rule be-
yond their reach grasped the rod of
ruin and mercilessly flayed their fell
lows. The NANCY iistes will bark and
snap at the glossy-coated, g~old-collared
canine uristocracy, mol because they
regard him as a monstrosity, hut be-
cause OF his sleek coat and fat sides.
Naturalists aver that the white crows
feathers are plucked out by Its black
fellows and the poor bird fayed alive,
moi because they fear it, but because
they are jealous Of the striking plu-
mage they cannot possess. So envy
claims its victims among the brutes as
we'll as among the human beings.
The agitators who wrap themselves
in oharity's well-worn and much
abused mantle and peck at the tinseled
plumage OF their more fortunate fell
lows, fiaunt the banner Of fear, but
hurl the %javelin Of envy. The men
aud the women, too, who see wrong in
everything and everyone above the
commonplace-wbo long to soar, but
who, from some mysterious cause be-
yond the ken of the human mind, can
not lift themselves or be lifted-sound
the tocsin Of fear by day and by night,
merely to crafty envy's Unsuitable APP
petite, to feed the scorching fires of
jealousy. They envy the honest and
worthy rich-there are some such
and try to teach others to fear them
they envy their better housed,
dressed and fed neighbors, and endeav-
or to induce others to shun them; they
envy your success, and try to belittle it;
they envy your brains, and exert them
selves to discount your ability they
envy law and order, and try to pro-
duce discord they envy the laughers,
and try to get others to mock them;
they envy the joyous, and try to turn
their joy into sorrow. But all the while
the string they play upon is fear, and
in the doleful sounds they produce
they hope to soothe envy and appease
the monster with green eyes, cloven
hoofs and forked tongue, called jeal-
ousy. or all the mean and malignant
passions of the human breast, envy is
the chief and jealousy Is its running
mate.

The question Of woman suffrage Is ag.
gressiveIy before all the people of the great
west. The glorions example Of Wyoming,
where women have voted upon every ques-
tion that men have for thirty years, has
answered every objection Of the opponent.
She has demonstrated that none OF the
fancied ills hat theorists declared must
follow the enfranchisement OF women,
have proved true In the actual experiment.
Wyoming is to-day an unanswerable
argument for the advantages OF a govern
ment that knows no Sex. The
progressive spirit Of New Mexico will
not permit her to lag behind her
neighbors la this line OF march. The
time to act is now.
We earnestly request all the friends Of
the cause to be present at this mass meet

will please address Miss Cora Armstrong,
