THH catfish have come. On Wednesday Capt. Polhamus received three cans, con- taining about 200 young fish, about three inches long. They were turned into the Gila, near its mouth, where the bottom has mud enough for the young catfish to burrow into. Seven cans containing 1000 young fish, were started from Sacramento, and delivered in good shape on the cars at Lathrop. From there down to Los An geles they were neglected, the baggage master refusing to bother with them, and the water in the cans not being changed. When they reached Los Angeles three fourths of them were dead. The rest of them were saved and brought on to Yuma, only by the untiring efforts of Conductor Mayo and his excellent crew of men, who spent all their spare time in aeratins and chang ing the water. This experiment is sure to succeed and will lead to others.

The shocking practice of selling intoxi- eating liquor to Indians still continues here, and will continue until another such example is made as was made in Judge Porter'S Court, a few years ago, of the mercantile firm of Nissei1 & Nufiez That broke up the practice for a while, and broke that firm up also. It is not from merchants that the Indians are now get ting their liquor. It is from parties whose position least exposes them to suspicion, or from others on whom 1t is difficult to fasten proof. Lawyers and editors are the last men likely to be accused of the in- famous practice. Yet we have read ex- cellent censure of the crime in a news paper whose proprietor, eight or ten years boat by a detachment of soldiers from the Colorado River Indian Reservation. They fired upon him, but he got into the brush on the California side and made good his escape However, those Reser- vation Indians got no Intoxicating liquor for while. Some four or five years ago the sal1e individual started a dead fall '" saloon few miles below Fort Yuma, and ran it until a detachment was sent down to break it up. As the Yuma Indians could get no liquor there after that and as this all occurred on the California side of the river, at the eastern edge of San Diego County, and about 200 miles from the office of its Prosecuting Attorney, no legal measures were enforced against the vendor.
 The practice of law may make amends for its previous infringement denouncing a crime in print may atone for former practice of it; but we do not think so. A bad example has been set; high Chow high ? positions are attained by means of money gained in selling liquor to Indians. While such offenders go unpunished the nefarious traffic will continue.

THE Stage from Lerdo arrived fate on Wednesday night, bringing the following passengers from the Mexican Steamers -'Coquille" and "General Rosales:" Fred Holmes, purser of S. S. Coquille; J. R. Clifford, MulegG; Count Ernest Kernen, Mazatlan; Mrs. and two Misses Lopez, Guaymas. The Coquille was to have been re-christened the "General Saragoza," but for some reason that has not yet been done. The passengers speak highly of her acco- modations. She sails next Monday from Point Ysabel to Mazatlan and way-ports. She had aboard lot of freight for Altar, which was to have been landed at Port Libertad. But on arriving there, no one appeared to receive it, and it was brought along, to be discharged on the down trip. By this route Mexican passengers take the cars here at Yuma, and reach San Francis co in less than half the time it takes them to get there by the ocean steamers from Mazatlan or Guaymas. This trade will be the means of opening up to settlement the rich lands along the Colorado River, below Yuma. Success to it!

THE quartz mill at Fl Dorado Canon received quite setback from the disap- pearance of Warren, (noted cn first page.) It was expected that the last steamboat up there would have taken a supply of chemicals, provisions, etc, which were to have been bought and shipped by Warren with proceeds of the S14,000 worth of bull lion he took with him. His partners, Vim. Piatt and H. Godfreson, came down on the steamer, and have gone to Califor- mia to trace up the missing man and bull lion, and to make arrangements for get ting new supplies. Meanwhile the mill is at standStill Capt. J. A. Mellon was thoughtful enough to take up a small stock of provisions for the men at the mill, otherwise they would have been without food. If Warren has embedded the bullion, he has sold himself very cheap. His partnership interest in the store, ete., at Eldorado Canon, were worth nearly as much as he could have realized from the bullion, and the mine never look ed better since work was first done on it, sixteen years ago.

THIS work can be done fairly or I'M

Originally, the sense of the word it was
restricted To particular form of unfair

In 1911, the democrats were in power

had the duty that year of dividing the
State into districts, the idea came Ia
some of the representatives tn arrange
the lines 81 rs to make rs many demo

possible. Accordingly, they formed the
districts without any reference to their

of all this terror is easy. jerks not
only declared his firm belief that the
alleged Sherman letter, upon which he
democrats counted 50 surely, never cN-
listed; he showed that Anderson is q
perjurcd rascal, although that is no
news, and he demonstrated that the
negroes in the Fcliciana parishes did
not vote because they were afraid OF
being murdered by the democrats. II
the story Of jerks about these parishes
is true. the act of the returning board

and if it was legal and justiiiablc, why
all this hullaballoo about Tildcn having
