Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1897-01-20

and law student, is here on business. He's
from Gallup!
Miss Natalie Stoneroad, one Of Las
Vegas amiable young ladies, came over
from there last evening and has accepted
a position as typewriter in the legisla-
ture.
"All political questions are to be dis
posed of at the opening of the session
and the remainder will be devoted to
business legislaton," says Santa Fe
dispatch to the Associated Press.
Rev. Craig, of Santa Fe, was elected
as chaplain of the territorial council. He
owes his lection to Mrs. Thomas Z.
Gable, who is much more successful
politician than the popular postmaster OF
Santa Fe.-Albuquerque Citizen.
Hon. Larkin G. Read, of Santa Fe, on
joys the pleasing distinction of having
introduced the first bill and made the fret
speech in the house. Hon. Max Luna, OF
Valencia county, rejoined, in the good
natured debate that ensued, that he hoped
that there would not be "deluge of
bills"
Secretary D. G. Hobart, of the terri
torial board of equalization, left last
night for his home at Silver City. Mr..
Hobart ia much gratifed over the record
made by the board. It's total expenses
for the two years was 1872, which is near
ly 5000 below the expenses of the board
for the previous two years.
Major Thomas Hughes, who represents
Bernallllo county in the council, was OBJ
served early this morning going over the
frosty summit" of Badly on "Gallup."
That new county delegation is supposed
to have had something to do with the
agility with which the major jumped
from peak to peak-but he kept his foot
ing.
Hon. R. E. Twitchell is on hand as
usual. His genial smile and never ex'
hausted fund of anecdote and stories
have given him the name the "Chauncey
NJ. Depew of the New Mexico Bar"-at
least Col. Riley says so. Major Twitch-
ell is popularity itself with sixteen mem
bers of the legislature. There are various
reasons for this. Verb sap, rooms ~
and SO, Palace hotel. No admittance ex-
cept on business
In the Optic, Rev. j. H. Defouri
formerly of Santa Fe, speaking of need
ed legislation, writes: "Alas! I have lit
tie time to give to the consideration OF
this sob ject, but it seems to me that laws
should be passed to help the various
counties of the territory to get over their
financial troubles. l see corporations
going into the hands of receivers to
straighten their business; private firms

remedy might help Counties
1t is really pleasure to see the inter.
est which the Hon. j. H. Riley takes in
New Mexico affairs Notwithstanding the
fact of his being citizen of Colorado
There is little doubt that the fine Hiber
nian hand of Col. Riley pulled the wires
which made Col. Llewellyn speaker. Col
Riley is the right hand man of the "Mark
Hanna of New Mexico legislatures" and
much of the success of the great inter
ests he represents is due to the Machia-
vellion methods of this past master in the
art of politics and policy.
Says the Albuquerque Democrat: The
organization of the Legislature has been
without the least friction and the pro-
ceedings have been unusually quiet and
business-like. This result was brought
about in the main by the compromise
heretofore mentioned, by the careful work
of Secretary Miller, Senators Fall, Curry
and Duncan, of the Democrats, and Sen
ators Hughes, Martin and Chavez, of the
Republicans. The territory IS to be con-
graduated upon possessing such men,
who are willing to sacrifice all party ends
