Mexico to Lincoln. The writer claim
ed a Grant county pioneer now dead,

THE LEGISLATURE.

The most important thing accom-
plished by the legislature last week
was getting the senatorial question
settled. The republicans had a cau'
Gus Thursday night, which was at
tended by more than a majority Of
the members Of the legislature. The
senatorial question was introduced,
and the caucus voted on candidates.
On the first ballot a majority Of the
majority voted to re-elect Senator
Fall. Another ballot was taken, when
a majority Of the legislature voted for
Senator Fall, which settled the mat
ter. The next day the legislature
was so we'll satisfied at what had been
accomplished that it adjourned over
SuGday, so the members could go
home and tell their friends what had
been accomplished.
The question of salaries for the
county officers is yet botherlng the
legislature. A joint committee, made
up Of members of both houses, is at
work on a bill. This provides for
dividing the counties into classes,
according to the income Of the coun-
ty, and fixing salaries for all offices on
the basis Of the income Of the county.
This was the way the salaries were
fixed by the last legislature, and it
did not prove satisfactory. The dem.
ocratlc u has appointed a com
mittee to prepare a bill. This com.
mIttee proposes to divide the coun-
ties IL one way for collectors and
t~reasurers, another way for sheriffs,
and In tact in a separate way for each
Of the other offices. This will pro-
badly make a more satisfactory bill
than the one proposed by the joint
committee.
Senator Mccoy introduced a bill
providing for turning out Of office

who finds an oticer drunk in a public
place, or thinks he has not properly
performed the duties OF his ONCE,
may make a complaint, the case is
summarlly brought before the court,
and II, on trial, he is found guilty, he
is bounced. The republicans in the
senate objected to the printing Of the
bill, and there was quite a row over
IL. AS the senate would not print IL
two daily papers thought the people
ought TO know what was in 1t, and so
they printed 1t.
Senator Walton has introduced a
bill for the relief Of Grant county.
Some years ago the legislature passed
a bill providing for the division Of

funds OF the different counties, but
provided that the road fund Of Grant
and Socorro counties should be adj
ministered by the Territorial road
commission. The object Of this was

YER City to Mogollon. That was built,
but the State road board, the success
