| appointments.
The New MEXICAN will have more tc
say as to the individual appointme IN
due time, but desires to define its posi-
tion now from Republican standpoint
to the effect that the Republican members
of the council did the very best they could
for their party in the compromise and In
the premises.
| LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.
Hon. Vence1lado Jaramillo is true blue
and true to his word
The emissaries of Grants Albuquerque
Daily Monopolist did not pull as big a
string as they thought they would.
It's good pood politics to take the best
trade you can make in legislative assem-.
blies as we'll as campaigns.
Hon. T. d. Burns is true friend Of
this city. His action on the capital re-
moval question was in Santa Fe's favor.
Speaker Llewellyn stood straight by
his pledges on the capital removal bill.
And still he presided with great fairness
and in an equitable manner.
Messrs. Malaquias Martinez and Mar
celino Martinez, the former representing
Taos and the latter Mora, are valuable
members. They are alert, prompt, and
are doing excellent work.
House bill No. So, bill relating to
dams and the diversion of waters has
gone the way of all flesh in the council,
aAd was buried beyond resurrection in
that house this morning.
The Albuquerque Citizen asserts, that
Santa Fe has raised big slush fund.
The New MEXICAN knows nothing about
that, but it heard that $4,000 was sent up
from Albuquerque yesterday. Wonder
by whom and what for?
Messrs. Sena and Read are handling the
capital removal question in the house
with skill, caution and energy. The voters
of Santa Fe did wisely and well when they
elected them TO the positions they now so
ably fill.
Hon. f. G. Reynolds not only repre-.
sents Sierra county we'll, but looks out
constantly for the interests of the terri
tory; he is conservative, painstakiug and
careful in everything he undertakes, and
a model legislator.
Hon. j. M. Archuleta is making very
good record in the council. He not only
represents the three counties from which
he was elected, but also the people of
the territory as whole. He is all
right.
x-Councilman Saint Is around trying
to see how legislation can be shaped
his way. But it is we'll known what
he is trying to do and everything will
60 along nevertheless. Forewarned is
forearmed, you know.
The bill for the compilation of the laws
passed the house this forenoon by vote
of Is to nine. Two amendments were
made to it, one being that the justices
of the peace should be furnished with
copies by the territory, and the other
limiting the expenses absolutely to the
amount named in the bill.
Hon. Ben jamin M. Read, ex member of
the house, is doing loyal and good work
for Santa Fe and his friends these days.
He is at work like beaver against the
capital removal scheme and is making
his work count. The New MEXICAN will
not forget Mr.. Reads valuable services
in this and other matters and will do the
right thing whenever occasion offers.
Acting Governor Miller has approved
and signed council bill No. sc, An act
creating school districts in New Mexico,
and council substitute for council bills
No. "a and 80, An act exempting sugar
beet factories, wooden mills and smelters
from taxation for a term of years. The
provisions of the exemption act have
been published in full in the New Mex
ICAN.
Representative William Crjstman, of
Grant county, is quiet, but wlthal valr-
able member of the assembly. He put in
mighty good llcks in the house for his
constituents when il came to the Washing
ton and Luna county bills and after
being beaten in warm fight there, he
did hard work with members of the coun-
Gil against the creation of the counties
named. He stands by the interests of his
constituents squarely and firmly and is
generally on the right side of the ques-
tion.
CAPITAL REMOVAL.
House bill No. 1873, better known as
the capital removal bill, came up in the
house at O'Clock this afternoon. The
room was crowded by spectators an xious
to learn the result and everyone was
more or less excited. After some parlia-
mentary sparring Hon. Max. Luna moved
that the house adjourn until tomorrow
morning, which carried by a vote of 13 to
IL. When the result became known,
there were loud cheers for Luna and Santa
Fe, from the crowd.
The Mulholland capital removal bill in
the house this afternoon was postponed
till tomorrow by vote of 13 to IL. The
fight is pretty one and first blood was
won by the Santa Fe men and support
ers of Santa Fe.
The Albuquerque capital removal dele
CATION feels blue, but has whole night
to work in, and many dark deeds are COM
mitted under the shadows of somber
night. Hence Santa Fe's representatives
and councilman and their friends must
not relax their vigilance in the slightest
degree.
TABLED INDEFINITELY.
Councilman Tom Hughes was tabled
indefinitely this afternoon-that is, the
bill introduced by Councilman Tom to
remove the capital to the city of AL
buquerque.
