Pacific road, 1t would be a grand thing, not ouly for Arizona, but for the com pany It would be good thing for the company because the line from Benson would pass through the largest and best agricultural and grazing lands of the Ter ritory. and also through the largest and richest mineral belts. It would be a great benefit to the Territory because 1t would open up these large and rich sec tions, beside giving her the advantage of competition between two direct lines to the east where she could find a better market for the disposal of her products and the purchase of her supplies, than California affords And further, because the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe com pany IS the most honorable corporation in the United States, and has always dealt fairly and impartially with the people and communities along it's lines. Its managers seem to appreciate the fact that they have interests in common with the people; that their own prosperity depends upon the prosperity and growth of the communities tributary to their roads, and that such communities cannot grow and prosper when subjected to hurtful discriminations and compelledeo pay extortionate rates on their ut-going products and incoming supplies. They strive to encourage, il- stead of oppress, and lend substantial as. l sistance to all enterprises that tend to expand the business, strengthen the in. dustries and increase the population oi the sections through which they pass. This has always been their policy and through its healthful influence the valley of the Arkansas became garden spot
 There they transported settlers, theil 1 household and farm effects, over their road free of charge, and subsequently, hauled their grain to market at the same prices charged by roads in other state! where competition and the legislature: had reduced the rate to a reasonable fig
 ure, Such treatment drew immigration and transformed the valley from a wilder ness into a populous agricultural ant stock growing belt A like policy in Ar lzona would have like results, and, back
 ed by our matchless natural resources would soon make this a populous ant prosperous state. We repeat, therefore
 that it would be grand thing for thi | Territory if this company should buil' roads through it, and they should receiv
 all the encouragement it is possible t
 extend them without placing them be
 yond the control of the people.

JAS. c. BLAINE participated in the sol diers reunion at Topeka, Kansas, last week, and delivered an address, which is reported to have been rapid review of the soldiers history. We presume he did not paint, in his forid style, the glorious record of the substitute he hired when drafted. We should like to hear the Plumed Knight review that interesting bit of history and tell how he hired the substitute for $500, then secured him a fat position in the postal department from which institution he was transferred to prison at the end of three weeks for stealing. We would also be pleased to hear the Knight continue the review and tell how he, in collision with number of com-patriots, made the city of Augusta pay him back, at the end of the war, the $500 he had paid for that substitute

THE following item will be of interest to miners working in lead mines in this section; Commenting on recent fatal case of lead poisoning in an English fac tory, Dr. William Webb of Wordsworth, Derbyshire, tells the Laacet that twenty five years ego poisoning by lead was of frequent occurrence at the leadsmelting works in that part of DerbYshire, and that since that time it has seldom been heard of. He attributes this immunity from poisoning in men constantly exposed to fumes of lead to the fact that they were advised partake freelyof fat bacon, butter and other fatty substances, and to drink copiously of lemonade or dilute sul- phuric acid in water The hint was first obtained from Sir Tomas Watson's admir- able lectures on the Practice of Physic." !"

ss4i---l tion created under a specific statute is subject to general legislation. Under the police powers, which no state can dli- dlii vest itself of, we claim that it is, when ever the public good may require it. But without arguing this point we will dispose of the question on other ground Our contemporary uses the word "contract" in the sense that all charters are contracts. This is not true. In order to become a contract within the meaning of the law, charter must contain terms i'll which the state expressly reliItquishes the right to in- te1tere by way of fixing or supervising the rate of charges, or makes certain aud def- mite exemptions. ''All rights against the state must be clearly defined and not rais- ed by inference or presumption; and if the charter is silent about power it does not exist" Without these specific terms charter is not an inviolable "contract" under any circumstance, but simply a franchise and may be altered by the leg islature at any time. Again, in some states, leg stature cannot grant an unal- tcrable or irrepealable charter because of a constitutional provision, which restricts the powers of legislatures ill such matters. In Wisconsin for instance, where the constitution provides that all acts for the creation of corporations within the state ''may be altered or repealed by the legis- lature at any time after their passage. :" "An institution created by specific stat ute" ill that state would be subject to legislation at all times, and all contracts Ill the form of charter, that the legisla- ture may grant, are liable to modification and alteration, without the consent of both parties. It depends, therefore, not only upon the specific terms of the char ter, but upon the constitution under which the legislature, granting them, is acting, whether or not they are exempt from future legislation.
 The remainder of the Stars objections are repitition in substance, if not in form, of those we have here answered, and we do not deem it necessary to con- slider them separately. There are some glaring inconsistencies in the Stars article but we will not consume space in pointing them out here. In conclusion we will state that the Doane Tub law in Nebraska is not dead letter practically, or other wise. It provides that railroads shall charge uniform rate per mile for freight This prevents the companies from charg- ing higher rate to one point than they do to another less distant, or from charg- ing one man more freight than they dc another, for the same distance. It pro. vides penalty of $500 fine for each vio- lation of its provisions Its design is to prevent discrininations and it is strictly enforced. It has never been tested ill the courts simply because the railroad companies are sufficiently convinced of its constitutionality to comply with its term; without venturing contest

 PURDY and Hamilton, two of the belig- erent editors of Tombstone, visited Son ora last week, accompanied by seconds and surgeons. They had agreed to settle their disagreement rie ct dl1niS and the famous Colts 45's" were named as the implements of execution. The combat ants were to be placed ten paces apart and were te shoot until enc or both had ssbitten the dust. i" Tombstone was all excitement and adjoprassl business to await the result. TsIc-sndertakers dusted of their liearses in anticipation of two l first-class funerals 4sshile the fs;lesephi ] cal gambler went about offering odds onhis But the event, so full of tragical possibil- ities, ended i'll an inglorious farce. When the pugnacious quill-driters reached the field of ''honnah," where they proposed | to "drink hot blood and do such business as the better day would quake to look upon" dispute as to which two of four l pistols should be used arose, and each warrior bold" declined to "shuff1e off his mortal coil unless he could do so at l the muzzle of a gun of his own selection. No compromise on this point could be ef- fected and thus the cemetery was cheated of two fresh plants and the melodramatic reporter who had been torturing his i'm agination all day in framing beautiful word garlands, with which to embellish the dual obituaries, was doomed to disap- pointment. Dueling is a relic of barbar- ism that the enlightened public opinion of to-day does countenance, but when men go to the extent of sending and ac- cepting challenges to "deadly combat, J they do not gain much in the public esti- nation by leaving the stage when the cur tain rises on the last act in the play

Chief Justice Fancy, ''are nothing more nor less than the powers of government inherent in every sovereignty; that is to say, the power to govern men and things. No legislature can barter away this power. On this subject the Court of Appeals, in New York, in the case of the Metropoli- tan Board of Excise " Barrie, 34 N !. . 667, declares, '"The necessary powers of the legislature over all subjects of inter nal police, being part of the general grant of legislative power by the consti- tuition, cannot be sold, gipe,t atcay or re- inqltiShed." On the same subject the su- preme court of Missouri holds that cor porations, like natural persons, are sub ject to these laws which the state may prescribe for the good government and regulation of the community and the pro- lection of the citizen. ''The power of the state to prescribe such law is inherent in every sovereignty, and cannot be Suren- dered eUeH in the grdntiiW Of charter, ,"-
 
 of Beer Company V. Massachusetts, (97 U. s. 26) decides that prohibitory li- quor law as applied to companies pre- viously chartered, is legal under this pc lice power, and that the state cannot di- vest itself of the police power (Bartmyer V. Iowa, Is Wall 129) And Boyd V. Ala bama GA U. S. 6O4), holds ''that it is not competent for one legislature, by con tract with individuals, to restrain the power of subsequent legislature to leg islate for the public good" Judge Red field, than whom no better authority ex- ists in speaking for the court in Vermont, in holding that railroads were bound by certain enactments of the legislature passed subsequent to their charters, impos ing upon them, duties, restraints and bur dens which did not previously exist, said ''There is also general police power o the state, by which persons and property are subjected to all kinds of restraint. and burdens in order to secure the gen eral comfort, health and prosperity of thu state, of the perfect right in the legisla ture to do which no question ever was or, upon acknowledged general principles ever can be made, so far as natural per sons are concerned. And it is certainl, calculated to excite surprise and alarn that the right to do the same in regard tC railroads should be made serious ques tion." Thorpe V. R. X B. R. R. Co.,, 2 Vt. 40. We might, by an elaboration 0 the questions therein presented, continu this branch of our subject to a grea length, but enough has been sad to sho' that the rights insured by charters to pri vate corporations, having relations wit the pubic, and the manner ill whic these rights may be exercised, are subjec to new regulations as the state may, fror time to time, make, with view of publi protection and safety and to preserve tn rights of other individuals and corpora tions.
