ute of respect to the Jeanette party | + recommends the gradual TecOustruc. ton of the navy by iron 0rsteel cruisers modern armored vessels and heavy ritied ] guns. He suggests that Congress con ] slider means of restoring the merchan; marine, but offers no practical ideas on ! the subject. The exhibit of the Post master General is very gratifying in the | reduction of letter postage to two cents. | He objects to the Postotlice Department controlling the telegraph system of the l country. Regarding the Star Route | frauds. the President says that If the guiltv parties are not brought to justice 1t will not be for lack of diligent and ur- gent prosecution, and he trusts the na- tiOnal bankrupt law may be enacted. Regarding the report of the Secretary of
 the Interior, he renevs hls previous suC-
 gestions tO extend to the Indians protec-
 ton laws, and make suitable prOvls-
 ions for their education, including train
 ing in manual labor. He calls the at
 tentiou of Congress to the neglect of
 railroad companies Co perfect title to the
 land grants, thereby escaping local tax
 ati0n. He considers it a mOmentOus
 question for Congress whether the gen
 eral government should extend aid m
 promoting public education in those
 States where educational facilities at
 present are inadequate. In regard Co interstate transportation hurtful com
 binatiOIs and discrimination can be ob- viated by Congress alone. l. IS not probable that additional legislation on the pOlygamy question will he deemed necessary until the effect Of the existing laws Is further developed.

respects unjust. The report of tariff commission will be submitted at the beginning of the session. The custom revenue for the fiscal year was S137,OO0000 It is estimated that the receipts for the next year will be much greater. 4 reduction is feasible and is recommended, but the abandonment of the protective policy opposed. He re- commends the enlargement Of free list, the simplification of duties on certain manufactures, ,.rsc.aliy cotton, iron, steel and substantial reduction on these articles and on sugar, molasses, silk and w1olen goods. If a general revision was found impracticable tt this session, tleast the more conspicG- ous inequalities of the present law may be corrected.

 The above is wroly uncalled for. The C1TIzEN ~as the 'rst paper in the Territory to suggest tL, namo of Hon. r. II. Wiley for the office Of President of the Council, doing so during tue cam TaiEn. Since the election We have re- Peatediy expressed the opinion that he Was the man for the place and urged his election. We know of no reason for changing our views on the subject. We believe that Mir. Wiley would make a first class presiding officer and will doubtless be chosen President of the Council. The above item IS also unfair to Hon. J. r. Knapp who IS not candi- date for tIe position and regards Mr. WI ley as a it man for the place.

RoY. I. s. STEVENS FOE MAYOR.

One year ago the CITIZEN advocated
 the election of Hon. Hiram s. Stevens
 to the office Of Mayor of this city. We did so because We believed that he had the necessary ability and the interest of the city at heart and would make an ef. iicleut Mayor. The views of this paper were not altered by the results of the election, and We still think Mr. Stevens the best man for the place and we give him hearty support.
 lir. Stevens Is one Of our oldest and most respected citizens. He IS a large property holder and tax payer and has always evinced great pabhc spirit. He has always been foremost in every enter prise for tine benefit Of this city and Territory. He has been successful business man and the city can safely trust its affairs in his hands. We believe that the people Of this city recognize ials fact and that he will be elected by an overwhelming majority. And it will be fortunate day for Tucson when he Is elected Mayor.

THE Tombstone Republican takes a very commendable stand on the ques- ton Of railroad legislation. It thinks that no legislation should be under taken without a thorough understand ing ot the case. There should be no jump ing at conclusions. Railroads are enti- tied to a fair profit as well as individ- uals, and because tbe present rates are high is DO proof that they yield the company an undue profit. Let us have DO nasty or i'll considered legislation.

JUDGE Y. M. COOLEY one of tn a5lest of tue unusually able Supreme bench oi Michigan has rendered a decision in an appealed libel suit against newspaper that Is of great importance. The alleged libel consisted of criticising a public official. The Court blow held that q newspaper had no more privilege to criticise the acts of a public official than those of a private individual. Judge Cooley takes a different vIew of the matter. The following is his opinion on this important question:
 The defendant contends that to call puOIc attention to what so vitally con cerEs the public Is matter of privilege, and that, by presumption of law, its motives ID dOlng 50 must be deemed proper and not actuated by malice: but the traI Justice, n charging the jury, denied thIs claim altogether and in do- lns so put the case precisely upon the same footing with publications which involve merely private gossip and scandal No declaration Of tms or any ether Court can convince the common reason that there Is not a plain and papabie distinction here. Few which can be greater than the public detrac- ton object Few duties can be p!ainer than to challenge public attention to official disregard If the principles which protect public and personal liberty. The matters discussed IT the publIca- ton ID question were of grave public concern, and therefore 1t was privileged.

Anyone who has seer sn old cAewer when he could not get hold of the weed, will be ready to contend that 1t Isa necessity. Certain 1t is that 1t is used m greater proportion by the poor, SO that the tax comes ont of those least able to standit.

HE Nexicaus are greatly rej5iced over the completion of the Mexican Central Railroad from their capital city to tine extensive silver mines of Guana- iuato.
