find a sunken reef in the form of a

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.

From Albuquerque Journal.
The position of Councilman Cam

sembly, in being the one Democrat
of the upper house, recalls the situa-
ton of Ed B. Franks. of the district
of Colfax and dora in the 2Sth as
sembly, he having the same lonely
honor at that time. Like Cameron he
lacked even a seconder to his mo-
tions, and looking around among the
Republican members, to find some
~congenial spirit who might agree to
perform the courtesy for him he pick
ed out our late Delegate B. S. Rodey,
now United States judge of Porto Ri
co, n asked him if he would do him
that kindness. Sure said the oblig-
ing apostle of statehood, and all thru
the session Rodey religiously per-
formed the service for the Democrat,
although he only occasionally voted
for the motions he seconded. Finally

Franks thought to have some fun,
and moved to amend the motion of
the gang to commit the prisoners to
jail, sc as to make 1T a motion "that
the prisoners be hanged by the neck
until dead" The president, Colonel
Chaves, taking in the joke, put the
motion, and looking towards Rodey's
seat, held the gavel while he asked,

Reports from Arizona confirm the
prevailing opinion that the legisia-
ture of that territory will pass a bill
fixing the saloon license outside of
municipalities at not less than $500
per year, and the Tucson Star says:
this will result in c~ancelling many
licenses, as we'll as preventing many
violations of law, which result from
these wayside drinking places. A we
large percentage of the cost isSu-
ing from our criminal courts can be
traced to these country or % house
saloons, and the fewer of them We
the better, as strong drink is a
luxury, and those who must have it
should be required to pay a luxurious
price for the same. While those en-
gagged in the business would sell few
er drinks. they would get larger re-
turns than now, and there would be
much less crime from strong drink
than now."-Albuquerque Journal.
