but presented great practicable diff

cd which he favored, namely, to
allow the free admission of one

The Veto Message.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-At 1:40
o'clock the Speaker laid the veto
message before the House and the
Clerk read it. The President says
it has been his earnest desire to
concur with Congress in the adop-
ton of measures to increase the sill
yer coinage of the country, but so
as not to impair the obligations of
contracts either public or private,
nor iDjuriously effect public credit.
1t was only on the conviction that
this bill did not meet that essential
requirement that he felt it his duty
to withhold from it his approval.
The message further states that the
capital defect of the bill is that it
contains no provision protecting
from its operation pre- existing
debts, in which case the coinage
which 1t creates shall continue of
less value than that which was the
sole legal tender when they were
created. Ia the judgment of man.
kind it would be an act of bad faith.
The standard of value should not be
changed. The national promises
should be kept with unflinching
fidelity. He could not sign a bill
which would authorize q violation
of sacred obligations. The obliga-
ton of public faith transcribed all
questions of profit or public advan-
tage. Its unquestionable main
tenance was the dictate as well of
honesty as Of expediency and
should ever be carefully guarded by
the Executive, by Congress and by
the people.

ment from New York to Yuma at
almost as low rates as from San
Francisco to Yuma. This policy,
at the first glance, seems to men,
ace San Francisco's possession of
the trade Of Arizona. We assure
our contemporaries that 1t is very
unwillingly adopted, that its ulti-
mate effects will be hurtful
neither to San Francisco nor Los
Angeles, and that it is part of the
plan to retain the control of the
Arizona trade in California. We
found our opinions altogether on
analogies, possessing no informa-
ton not accessible to any citizen
of California.
The Southern Pacific Railway,
in its dealings with Arizona, finds
itself confronted by the following
facts:
l. Yuma is accessible from San
Francisco and the East by water
via the Gulf of California. In ad-
justing its through rates from the
East to Yuma the Central and
Southern Pacific Railways are gov.
erned by this fact.
2. They are also controlled by the
fact that the Kansas Pa
cific and Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railways are
pushing post-haste into New
Mexico. The Leavenworth,
Lawrence and Galveston road is
also within easy reach of New
Mexico. The fact Is that to-day
large quantities of freight are
finding their way into Arizona
from New York over these roads.
The merchants of Tucson and Pres
colt receive considerable portion
of their stocks by these
routes. The goods are brought
to the several termini by
rail and carried by MexIcans,
through Arizona, in carts. Goods
which reach any of these towns
over the Central and Southern Pa
cific Railways are taken to Yuma
and thence carried to their ultimate
destination by six and twelve
mule teams. Half the loads of
these teams from the Pacific side
consist of forage-grain-to MAIN
tain the animals over the long and
arid route. On the other hand, the
mules which draw the carts of the
Mexicans on their trips coming and
going, in connection with the East
ern roads, live by the grasses which
grow by the wayside. This is a
heavy odds, and the California
roads, to secure any portion of the
trade of interior Arizona, have to
come down with their rates. They
thus appear to discriminate against
the trade of San Francisco, while
they probably would like to put On
the screws the other way.
When Arizona attains the full
measure of her population we con-
fidently expect to sell large quanti-
ties of Los Angeles produce in that
territory. With a road running
from the East, and traversing
countries in which corn can be
bought, in immense quantities, for
fifteen cents a bushel, and other
products in proportion, we should
probably not sell pound in Ari-
IONA. 1t is this consideration that
impels us to favor California road,
under State and national regula-
ton, as against an Eastern road
which would convey from that Sec
ton to Arizona every bale of goods
and every pound of flour which
would be used therein.

Edmunds and Whyte objected,

up the silver bill was agreed to.
Conkling suggested that the read

that he was in the other House of

Passage Of the silver Bill.

1t will be seen, by the kilograms
on our first page, that the silver
bill has been passed over the Pres
ident's veto. 1t was passed In the
House by fifty votes more than the
requisite two-thirds and in the Sem
ate by sufficient majority. This
is, not even excepting the immense
in governmental out
lays, for which the country owes
the Democratic party debt of
gratitude, the most important act
of the National Legislature for the
past dozen years. 1t was the last
Republican House of Representa-
tives which demonetized silver. 1t
is a Democratic House of Represen-
tatives which remonetizes it. Out
side of its purely commercial eff
fects, the great significance Of the
silver bill lies in the fact that it is

THE Legislature of 1878 has had
much to do in the way of legalizing
the acts of Notaries and Justices of
the Peace who continued to serve in
their respective official capacities af-
ter the expiration of the time for
which they were appointed, or for
some other cause by which their office
had become vacant. In one instance
a Bill passed the Assembly legalizing
the official acts of certain Justice of
the Peace from May. 1877. to May 1878
two months in advance. The bill
was sent to the Senate for the concur
renee of that body when one of the
Senators, for joke on the Assembly,
moved an amendment to the bin ex-
tending the time to May, 1888; the
amendment was adopted and the bill
returned to the Assembly for its con-
Clarence to the Senate amendment, and
tile Assembly promptly eoncurred
therein. legalizing the acts of that
particular Justice over ten years in adj
vance. The attention of that august
BODY WAS afterwards directed to the
manifest abSurdity of such legislation
when motion to reconsider the vote
hg which such amendment was con-
Cured in prevailed. Assemblymen

gently hints that the financial success
of State Fairs heretofore held at James
vile has been greater than those held
at Madison. The Madison Journal,
which always stands up for the capital
city. knocks this chip off the Gazette s
shoulders and produces figures to show
that the admission fees, fees for en-
tries and fees for rent of grounds have
been greater at Madison than at James
vile. and this Notwithstanding the
fact that at the last State Fair held at
GAINESVILLE the gate fee was fifty cents
instead of twenty-five the sum charged
