! Inc mouse also passed TINS after
! noon without the formality Of roll
call house bill No n. by Mr.. Abbott
/ of Santa Fe, regarding the qualifica-
/ tions of county district and territorial
Officers. The text of the bill follows
That no person shall be qualified
to hold any territorial. district or
county office in the territory of New
Mexico who shall not be a legal voter
at the general election Of said terri
tory, and who shall not have resided
| in the territory for at least twelve
months last past before his election or
appointment
1t has been mildly intimated that
this bill shuts off the power of the
president Of the United states to ap-
point district judges in New Mexico.
but since the question has been
passed upon by the house judiciary
committee. il is plain that if the bill
does this, the house has the power to
deprive the president of this appoint

extraordinary session Of the legisla-
ture. but whether there is warrant
for it is debatable. II win be re-
called that much time was taken dur
Ing which apparently nothing was
done though it is claimed in this re-
spect that this was a delay necessary
to permit the committees to work
and It Is further stated that nothing
could be done until they did report.
Thus, blame, If there is any attaches
to the committee for being dilatory
and yet may 1t not be that they ex-
pedited matters all possible to do?
Then, also for purely partisan pur-
poses We saw Democrats and insur-
gents doing every thing possible to.
ward the end of the last session to
block legislation and to stay 1t of in
order that it might not be brought
about at the session. In this they
seem to have been more or less sue
cessful and thus forced the governor
to call the extra session.
This situation impresses the fact
on the people generally that forty.
five days are not enough. in which
TO hold the session of the legislature
IT is seen that the business of the
Legislature scarcely gets under good
Roadway before the end of the time
limit comes.
West Virginia has jumped by leaps
and bounds in its growth until to.
day there are many features about II
that never before needed legislative
attention. Indeed, in the olden day
there was not so very much for the
legislature to look after and forty
five days were found amply long, in
truth, at times too long. But there
has been transformation in the af-
fairs of the State. witch demands a
longer legislative session. The
dilemma the session just ended found
itself in emphasizes the assertion
that the time limit ought to be ex-
tended. The number of the days OF
the biennial session ought not TO be
less than sixty, and for the benefit
of the State at large the Telegram
hopes that agitation on this subieci
may crystalize to the extent OF
achieving this result.

is superior to alcohol in that 1t
makes arguments and sentiments
plausible. and, at the same time. in
spires both singers and listeners with
the desire to get up and do some
thing for their country. It's after

far more pleasant than those of 9TH

will always be a favorite means of
reinforcing weak arguments Cum

Thus we have another reason why
music boxes and other musical in
struments are barred from saloons.
Music and whiskey together would
probably create a force of such mag
nitude as would be beyond the power
OF man to combat.

The probability is that the West
Fork river will be very lonesome
place when Spring opens up and the
moss on its banks will not be car
ried away on any boot heels as there
is to be transformation in angling
this season. The city administration
has brought this about by establish.
ing an aquarium otherwise known
as Baltimore street in which it hopes
to produce mud CLAIMS and the small
boy will be found with hook and line
after the fashion of Grover cleve-
land contentedly sitting on the
banks of the quagmire for the pur-
pose of catching tadpoles and other
things.

Ashburn and Hone.

A Charleston correspondent says:
Several state papers have persist
emily encouraged Hole of Doddridge
in his two cent rate idea until he be-
came SO fully imbued with his in
fallibility and so keen in his desire
to have his name linked with the
authorship Of the two cent rate meas
ure that he all but prevented the
passage Of the law. In the railroad
committee in the house he defeated
an agreement to report a committee
bill by logging" for his own bill,
and by charging other bills were un-
constitutional had the house adopt
his bill. When 1t came to the close
of the session, and when urgent ac-
ton was necessary, he held out for
delay and tried to muddle the whole
matter by submitting minority re-
port. In bold relief to this pervert-
ed idea of public service, Senator
Ashhurn, of the same county, gave
up his bill, all hope of personal
credit, but withal did more possibly
that any other man IN either branch
to place a two cent rate law ON the
statute books.

COURSE
IS ARRANGED
BY the Ladies' Aid Society of the
Lutheran Church-Stone and
King Coming.

The general public will no doubt
be interested in the intelligence that
it will be given the opportunity yet
this winter of hearing two lecturers
OF national reputation. This is a
day in which popular lecturers score
a hit in whatever hamlet or village
Or city they are heard and it goes
without saying that Clarksburg
shows as great appreciation for a
good wholesome lecture as any COM
munity in the country.
There has been no lecture course
in this city during this season and we
are all glad to know therefore that
at least partial one has been ar
ranged which promises to be a rare
treat for our people.
Prompted by the need of some
thing of this kind a lecture course
consisting of two numbers has been
arranged for. These will be given
in the Grand opera house March Is
and April 10, under the auspices of
the Ladies' Aid Society of the Luth-
eran church.
The one in March will be given by
R. Foster Stone, of Johnstown, N.
Y. who is one of the most popular
lecturers throughout the Middle
West, having been located until re-
Gently in Indianapolis, Ind. The
lecturer has spent three seasons in
Yellowstone National Park, and he
will appear here in Wonderland"
lecture that is filed with charming
interest. This lecture is one of Mr..
Stones best and has been given $50
times.
In April Byron w. King, of Pitts
burg, will appear here in his newest
lecture THE Grace and Glory of
Workmanship" Pres. King, who is
at the head of Kings School of
oratory, needs no introduction to
our people, and it is safe to say that
his many friends and admirers in
and around this city will be glad for
this opportunity to hear him again

Presents in the Legislature.


Presentation of gifts to officers
and others in appreciation of their
efforts and work has come to be
generally observed custom in con-
yentions and other like assemblies.
While 1t may have. its good pur-
poses in certain organizations, does
Il serve as wholly good in the in
stance of assemblies held by the rep
resentatives Of the people for the
purpose of transacting the peoples
business. such as that in the capitol
at Charleston the other day?
OF course this gift making has its
good purposes as well as its bad.
Few there are who will deny or de-
precate the noble sentiments that
inspired those at Charleston who
made tn egifts. Undoubtedly they
we're moved with feeling of sincere,
appreciation and affection. The
acts most likely stimulate and en-
courage both giver and receiver to
continue to conduct themselves so
as to merit them. Harmony and
amiability are intensified and the
senators and representatives are
made to feel more friendly to each
other, thus dlscouraging antagonism
and delay in their legislative busi-
ness.
Indeed these objects are com
mendable and worthy. But there
are other effects of this particular
gift making at Charleston that may
not be SO regarded.
When the representatives OF the
lpeople of this State in the midst of
The busiest part of legislative SEES
sion that Is drawing to the close OF
limited duration and which has to
be extended in order to finish up i'm
lRortant business needing attention,
drop their public work and take up
a portion of their valuable time to
hand over presents of gold and sill
yer and other fine things, gloze and
beslobher over each other with a lot
OF soft soap eajoiery, 1t strikes the
Telegram that It comes in rather
bad grace.
In making these gifts before the
adjournment of the legislature. 1t is
not altogether improbable that
some officer might be Influenced in
his attitude by the remembrance of
them. 1t is not usually the custom
to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Toadyism is engendered among dele
gates. officers and attaches. Theyq
viii be prompted to vie among them
selves in rendering presents with i'm
minent dangers of squabbles and
soreheadedness resulting. Dele
gates. officers and attaches are sup
posed to conscientionsly perform
their duties whether they receive
tokens of appreciation for them or
not; and some one may be sighted
in the distribution and thus led to
lose enthusiasm in the public work
entrusted to his hands.
This legislative gift making may
be alp right in the right place and at
the right time, and while there is
no substantial evidence to show that
the legislature could not get along
without It, the Telegram believes
that II the legislators must indulge
i'm the custom it would be good idea
to transfer it from busy period in
the legislatures session to a hotel
Or other snItahIa nlaca after the SEES.

Some one stuck under the door OF
the Telegram ONCE at late hour OF
night notice reading to the effec,
that a bouncing baby girl was born
to an unmarried lady and that her
sweetheart recently disappeared
Then the note stated that mother
and babe are doing nicely. The note
was unsigned, The writer of 1t is
evidently scandal monger or de.
sired for some personal and selfish
reason to hold up to the world the
fact that the woman in the case had
sinned. This leads us to direct the
writer to the saying of the Savior,
when the woman was accused before
him. In the present instance the
unfortunate girl is colored and
doubtless the one who wrote the note
is of the same color. It shows that
there are both white and colored,
ready to condemn others but too cow
ardly to stand out and become them
selves the accusers. It is needless
to say that the Telegram did not and
will not print the unsigned note,
though 1t might be possible it would
have done so had the note come
signed properly and had It been
shown there was reason why ii
should be published for the public
good.
