LINCOLN county is not asleep il
it is heavily in debt. A bill has
been introduced into the Legisla-
ture having for its object the annexa-
ton of Southern Utah to Nevada.
The strip OF territory in question
embraces Leeds mining District,
which is just now attracting con-
siderable attention in mining cir
Giles. In all probability the district
would fall to Lincoln county in
case it was annexed to Nevada.

THE Central Pacific people are
going to test the right OF the State
of California to interfere in their
affairs. The Railroad Commission
ers have brought suit to compel the
Company to file q schedule of its
freights and fares; it sets up the
defense that its charter comes from
Congress, not from the State, and
that it is not subject to local regu-
lations. This question has been
discussed in the newspapers very
often, and it will be q relief ii q
judicial decision can ever be OBJ
tanned upon it.

SPEAKING of the election in the
three disputed States the President
said to gentleman who called
Monday as to South Carolina and
Florida, he didn't believe any far
minded man could now properly de-
ny that both of them went for Hayes.
AS to Louisiana he spoke with much
less degree of certainty. In fact he
left upon the mind of his visitor the
impression that he seriously doubted
whether the action of the Returning
Board could be justified, or whether
the vote of the State could be hon
estly given to Hayes.
