a revision, and this commission was

After three more working days the
lature will become history, and If the
gentlemen composing that body will
get right down to serious business
they can pass a good many good bills
and XIII q good many bad ones, in
three days time. and thus make some
valuable additions to the history of
the present session. which they will be
able to regard with a good deal Of
satisfaction in time to come.

"surprised and Indignant

Editor Morning Journal;
The people of this part Of Sierra
county are surprised. indignant and
ehagrined over the passage of the
bill at Santa Fe changing the county
scat from Hillsboro to Cutter. a rail
road station near the eastern bound
airy OF this county.
The first news announcing the pas
sage Of such bill in the legislature
without debate or "a dissenting vote.
came by telegraph from silver city
and IL came as q shock to The people
Of H%illsboro and -ucighborhood. as
they had no idea that such a measure
was even considered at this time. Tel
egrams were sent TO Representative
Chavez and others at Santa Fe inquir-
ing into the authenticity Of the news.
This was verified aud the kilograms
further stated that Governor Curry
had already signed the bill too The
latter il Is thought here. was added
in order to quell any efforts that the
people of this county might make to
fight the measure.
II Is agreed almost unanimously
here that Bob Hopper and associates
Of Cutter are the advocates Of the
change in order 20 reap "A large har-
vest from real estate and to give
strength to their mining operations
in the Caballo mountains. Others
think the a T q ) r. railroad is the
real strang puller. as it Is rumorcd
they intend moving their san
shops 90 Cutter. They sus-
pcct the railroad further because the
bin went through the legislature like
4 flash.
This c%ounty's people do not qucs-
ion the right 20 consider the moving
~ the county seat. but that over
they are Indignant is the meth
81 used 10 attain results. n is evil
that the bill was framed with
he greatest conccaiment and intend
~ 10 be ~railroadcd into law without
he consent OF tho taxpayers. The
Measure as drawn up shows the in-
consistency " its draftcrs and the
chemc they applied to satisfy the
aNpayers by adding thai portion Of

hope behind" and hence It IS gener-
ally believed that the sober second
thought VIII deter most Of the insur-
gents from sitting on the limb, and
saving between themselves and the
tree.
There Is hardly any doubt in re-
gard to the election Of the republic
can caucus nominee but If. by any
chance, the insurgents should be
strong enough to prevent his election,
what would 1t profit them? If they
should throw their votes to the demo-
cratic nominee, and thus elect him,
they would thereby take themselves
out OF the republican party, and would
house in opposition to both the sem
ate ana the national administration,
and would kin themselves sc dend, po-
litically, that no GAbriel's trumpet
would ever be able to resurrect them.
and would bring about a condition of
things that could only result In legis-
lative paralysis. at a time when the
country Is vitality In need OF the most
energetic activity. The only alterna-
five to this would be TO put up a can
didate OF their own ana the only re-
suit that could have would be to hang
up the organization OF the house in
definitely. because the democrats
would never allow themselves to be
made cats paws. TO rake chestnuts
out Of the fire for the benefit of n
small republican faction. And even
il enough republicans should bolt
party nomination to constitute
with the democrats a majority, the
Of the democrats would prefer
to take Mr.. Cannon. whom they know
lnd can respect, 20 some unknown
and untried man, from among the
Insurgents, with no experience, and no
party responsibility. Hence. the re-
election Of Mr.. Cannon Is generally
conceded by all parties.
In regard TO a change in tho rules,
there is more room for dis
MISSION. because II IS n question that
not touch the matter Of a mem
,oint, it is very readily seen, and gem
conceded, that any set of rules
less radical than the present
would inevitably result in Legislative
allure. because n "A great body of
