A GOOD M EASURE.
Councilman Martin 1ntrOducesaJO y Oint
Memorial to Congress Urging the
Defeat of the Avery Bill.

Councilman Martin, of Socorro, this
morning introduced in tine council
joint memorial which will meet with the
approval of the taxpayers generally.
In presenting the memorial, Mr.. Martin
said:
"Mr. President and gentlemen of the
32d legislative council Of New Mexico:
In looking over the doings of our present
congress- find that on the I'd of February
a bill was introduced, which, though gen
eral in its terms, is especially and express
ly for the sole purpose of validating the
militia warrants of New Mexico, the great
er portion of which are said to be fraud
ulent. This being the case, the repre-
sentatives of the people of New Mexico
should arise in indignation and in some
way give notice to congress to at Least
give us hearing before taking action in
this all.important matter. We are being
tossed to-day on the foam crested and
surging waves of depression, we can not
sllow debt d, ounting to Sl,Fa0,o00
thr4tfS on us. Il ssot which will tssa tfe
people OF NewsMexico $50 years ~ pay.
I, therefore, beg leave to offer the follow
ing memorial"
The measure SO eloquently presented
reads as follows:
Whereas, There is large alleged and
fraudulent indebtedness known as the
militia warrants" in the territory of New
Mexico; and whereas, there is now pend
ing in congress of the United States
bill known as the "Avery bill' for the
purpose of validating and legalizing said
indebtedness and imposing the payment
of the same upon the territory of New
Mexico; therefore be it resolved by the
legislative assembly of the territory Of
New Mexico that the congress of the
United States be and is hereby earnestly
requested to defeat the passage of said
bill No. for the reason that the pass
age or enactment of said bill into q law
would impose fraudulent and an unjust
indebtedness upon the territory of New
Mexico, and would increase the financial
burden of SAID territory fraudulently and
unjustly;
And be it further resolved, That the
chief clerk of the council and the house
of representatives of the legislative as
sembly of the territory of New Merico,
are hereby directed to transmit to the
president of the United States, to the
house of representatives and to the sem
ate of the United States, certified copies OF
this joint memorial as soon as the same
is passed by this legislative assembly and
signed by the president of the
council and speaker of the house, and the
said chief clerk of the council and house
The militia warrants which the Avery
bill, now pending in congress, endeayors
to legalize, are in no sense just debt
against ;he territory, and this memorial
was passed by the Legislature to-day. The
members of both houses should now use
their influence with congressman to de-
feat the Avery bill.

A Very severe Rebulse

Is administered by the stomach whea lite
functions are abused. Indiscretions In
eating or drink, are requited in the first
instance by acute indigestion, whioa., #

Both, fortunately, are surely eradicable
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, tonic

medical profession as by the general pub

nightly repose, usually associated with
dyspepsia, are soon relieved by the Bit

and an invigorant of sterling value. Bill
