A ReprehensIbIe Practice.

Certain persons make a practice ol following the wake of armies for the sole purposes of plunder of both living and dead, and the practice is about as honorable as the one of hunting for some technical defect in titles to real estate, valuable mines and water rights for reduction works with view to re- location, or lawsuits for legal black. mail. IL may be said locations and records of valuaSl property should be made in strict conformity to law, and all conditions of possession fully dis charged; yet where the intention of the owner or possessor was good and his daily action and labor prove such intention, none but bad neighbor or man would seriously attempt to de prive such of hIs title simply because of some unintentional defect in it. All good citizens or honorable men ought to discountenance campfOllowers for theft and blackmail, albeit their work may be sustained by a cold-blooded in depreciation of law. Many most up right and useful men are unfamiliar with the exact details of laws and reg ulatiOns governing titles and the value of most mines when first located is unknown; but as all are liable to be- come of great value, we take this oc- casion to remInd men of the necessity of making legal locations and records thereof, to the end that the jumpers and blackmailers may have no lawful encouragement to pursue their disre- putable business.
 We have lately heard of the work of this class of bad men in various parts of the Territory. Judge Tweed gave them a discouraglng blow in Mohave some years ago, and the other judges doubtless will when they have justi- fable opportunity; but even with the powerful! aid of judges, honest men may be subjected 10 much loss of time
 nd money by the class in question.
 In view of the many valuable mines Tn Pinal county in particular, we re spectfully urge upon claimants to sec to it that their titles be made perfect if they are not so already. Capitalists are repelled on the least evidence of defect i've title to property they might desire to purchase. Every mine-owner who desires to sell or wants credit upon his property and works, should have an indisputable title; and generally such a title can be secured at least in the first instance, as cheaply and easily as a bad one.

Railway Encouragement.


 Any action likely to hasten the con- structfon of railways in Arizona, is ac- ceptable heresways. The various prom inent newspapers each make up their Washington news, as far as possible with view to influence public opin- ion III the direction they desire public action. Thus it is that the New York, Boston, Chicago and San Francesca journals agree in doing all they can to prevent any aid to the Texas and Pacif. fc company, for the interests of their respective localities would be rather impaired than improved by it. The vast moneyed power of the nation is largest in the cities named, as well as the railway and shipping businesses oi the country and foreign nations in the United States. Comparatively speak. ing, the financial and commercial in terests of the sections interested in the Texas and Pacific railway, are weak and without much energy. The great northern lines of railways, and the cities and States they directly benefit virtually @ cry out against subsidy, and their cry falls upon a majority oi willing hearers, and is evidently hay ing, as it has had for some years, a controlling influence in Congress; and if a late dispatch to the New York Times can be believed, Col. Scott and associates are realizing and acting up on the fact. From a guarantee of in terest on bonds at the rate of $35, ,0OC per mile, the Times dispatch says Col Scott will be content with a guarantee on $15,000 per mile. The Central and Southern Pacific builders have given out, upon the authority of careful survey by Engineer Hood, that they can construct and equip a first-class road through Arizona at least as far eastward as Tucson, for S10,00O per mile. The Times dispatch says among other things of Col. Scott's chances on the reduced basis:
 It is believed that a reduction of the subsidy One-half would make a con- siderable impression on Congressman, and it is very possible such bill would pass the House, although the bills for merly presented would be most certain to fail. Objections to granting Scott's request, however, would still arise, from the certainty of the Southern line being constructed if Congress takes no action at all; and the less the cost of construction the less reason there would seem 10 be for any subsidy whatever from Government
 So the northern interests are not to support the blll for any subsidy what ever. Well, if they will not, they should not object to such inexpensive legislation as will not only secure the promise of the Southern Pacific com pany to complete thelr road without much delay, bus would in selfinterest almost compel them to do It. But the northern interests are powerful, and they may be so utterly selfish as to pre- vent even this much legislation in favor of a Southern overland road-a road de- manded by a long line of local inter- ests of the majority of the people of this nation. In the face of such pow erful influences against the road, we are not hopeful Of Congressional en- couragement of any kiud.
