the night Of the full moon, and the night
before, and the night after, and to accept
in payment therefor, at the expiration OF
each month, warrants payable in coin,
gold and silver proportionately, as the
city collects its taxes, said warrants to
bear interest at tho rate OF seven per
cent. per annum, as specihed IN SAID con-
tract Of January I'D, 1876. And the Gas
Company will also agree to erect such adj

honest intention to handle 1t to the
best Of their ability, in the interest
Of the people, we have no earthly
doubt. The Legislature now has
the whole matter before it, and
we trust that the suggestions Of the
Commissioners will be carefully
weighed, aud that comprehensive
but simple scheme Of legislation
will DO the outgrowth. The Com
missioners claim that, voluminous
as their report is, they curtailed it
measurably in order to have 1t
read. No man, probably, upon
whom has not devolved the respon-
sible role Of legislator, will read a
work, as dry as o treatise Oh the
differential calculus, which COM
prises something, including supple
ment of over five hundred pages.
But it is a penance every legislator
should subject himself to; and,
whether they read it or not, they
should vote for good fares and
freights law.

THE piling up of railway build
ing material in Arizona by the
Southern Pacifio Railway can be
explained independently Of the
fight which is now going on in
Congress between Scott and the
California railway magnates. The
general impression has been that,
unless an enabling act Is obtained
from Congress, the Southern Paci-
flo cannot be pushed any further
than the Colorado river. This is a
mistake. The visit of Gen. Ban
ming to Arizona, now nearly year
ago, was attended by grant Of the
right of way to the Southern Paci-
Hc, by the Territorial Legislature,
through Arizona, and an exemp-
ton from taxation Of the compa-
ny's property in that territory for
some five years. AS we under
stand the law, an act Of Terrific
rial Legislature is good unless
Congress vacates it within q year
from its enactment. Nearly a
year has already elapsed, 40 that IL
Congress were to take no action
whatever on the Texas Pacific
guarantee or on Huntington's bill,
that is to say, should it ignore
railways altogether, the Southern
Pacific would shortly be in con-
dition to build its road to the New
Mexico line. A little persuasion
exerted on the Legislature of New
Mexico would doubtless result as II
did in Arizona; SO that we may, In
the coming two or three years, see
a transcontinental railway extend
ing from the Pacific ocean to the
Rio Grande, without any Congress
sional legislation whatever, putting
both the land grants and guaran'
tees to one side.

Queens address and Parliamentary
debate. The latter clearly shows
that the British Government in
this hour Of Turkish extremity is
still uncommitted to warlike meas
ures. 1t is Disraeli who speaks
through Victoria. At his instance
Parliament was convened out of
the usual season, which Implied
some grave emergency. The re-
quest for means to prepare for con-
tingencies admitted to be remote,
Is his confession that the country
will assent to nothing like war,
unless to rspel aggression. The
convoking of Parliament vas an
implied menace to Russia, but
Russia regarded 1t not and to-day
Disraeli is not prepared to name
any specific danger to be APP
pretended. Gladstone's eau
tious action shows that he
suspects Disraeli's intention
to notify Russia that England will
engage in the war il the terms
proposed by Russia to Turkey shall
seem in Disraeli's Judgment to in
volve danger to England's inter-
ests. The Gladstone party are dis
posed not to give the least menace
of war until reason is given. The
casus 6elA does not yet appear. 1t
cannot be the violation of the
Treaty Of Paris, for that was defied
lby the pending war itself, without
England's fighting to vindicate 1t.
Apparently the government will
be compelled to show affirmatively
that some specific British interest
is about to be assailed before it can
get power to set forces in motion
that may plunge England into the
dreaded conflict. That is practi-
cally the pledge Of the Queens
speech, and the Liberals will see
that Disraeli rsdeems it. Austria's

THERE has been great rsvolu-
ton in railway building during
the past four years. 1t has two
phases. One is the almost entire
cessation of railway building, with
the single exception of the activity
of the Pacific Coast railway build
ers. The other is the terrible fall
In the price of iron and steel rails.
The Southern Pacific Railway
Company has purchased, for use in
Arizona, two hundred miles of
steel rails at $50 per ton. -Four
years ago iron rails commanded
$s5 per ton. 1t is curious that the
facilities for building railways dur.

quite as prominent as the railway

waves run as violently as at present,

they sweep everything before
