WEATHER pror { now days have


become a somewh6s noticeable insti-
tuition as in the case Of Vennor, who
fourished year or two ago. and
now one Virgins. both Canadian
gentlemen. Virgins has managed
to alarm the whole eastern coast of
the country by the prediction that
that portion of the country especial
ly, and the earth at large, will be
visited by one of the most terrible
storms ever known about the 11th of
March. Indeed his prediction has
caused so much alarm that General
Hazen, Chief of the Signal service,
publishes the following notice:
"Too severe rebuke cannot be in
dicied upon those who attempt to de-
ceive or necdlessly alarm the people
by publishing such statements as
that of Mr.. Virgins. Their words
are totally untrustworthy, and the
people should be so informed by
those who are familiar with the sub
jects upon which these prophets pre-
sumo to speak"

The HERALD has taken the ground
that our present Legislature should
carefully guard against the reckless
expenditure of the public money
which has, in the past, characterized
that body, and in order to sh,w that
we meant what we advocated, we
proposed that retrenchment should
begin with newspapers. That each
member should be supplied with one
copy of each of the Territorial pa
pers and possibly two or three of his
own county, but no more. The prac-
tice OF granting themselves thirty or
thirty-five subscriptions and then
turning the whole thing over to a
single paper was simply a steal from
the public Treasury, nothing less,
and The people of the Territory pro-
test against that and all kindred
practices,.fo it is but an example of
the manner in which busin ess has
done.

From the Tucson Citizen we clip
the following item of interest to
mining man:
A bill has been intro luced in Con-
gress making the time during which
it is necessary to perform assessment
work upon mining claims end when
the final payment is made and the
Receivers receipt is given instead of
when the patent is issued. This
amendment is not intended to make
a change but simply to prevent am
biguity The courts nave long since
decided that the payment of The pur-
chase money and the Receiv ar's final
receipt passes the title from the Gov
eminent to the purchaser. That the
department holds that ii is unnecessa-
~ to perform assessment work after
a mining claim has been paid for is
shown by the following letter from
the commissioner:

THE matter of a more marked dis
elimination in pensions is at length
taking form in Congress and the
move is q very just one. There are
thousands of men today drawing
pensions who are in every respect as
able 10 earn a livelihood as though
they had never seen a battlefield,
while there arc other thousands that
no pension, no money, can recon-
pense for the loss OF leg, arm, or
both, or other serious bodily injury.
The pensions of this latter class, cs-
pecially those who have lost a foot
or hand, an arm or leg, or both, has
been very justly increased from s15
to $40. Of these men, according to
the pension roll, there are 1880 who
have lost hand, 1854 who have lost
a foot, 2, 522 who have lost leg, and
1866 who have lost a hand and a
foot

z''.-l|r-tIsle condition. What

&C s -. beautify the town adds
to the town attraction, therefore
adds to its population, its visitors
and its business. We have been in
formed by a very responsible and
intelligent gentleman within the past
day or two when speaking of the
streets, that he knew of several fami-
lies who were intending to become
residents OF our town in tho future
should its citizen enterprise develop
1t into what its location, its natural
advantagess would lead one to sup
pose would be made of it.
Again we have little doubt that
there will be use in the near future
for both our plazas for the purposes
of public buildings. The present leg
lSIdluIC Will liz SAfO 10 NO'tAeJ
buildings to go on one Of the plazas,
and we can hopc for Territorial
buildings for the other at no distant
day. We believe business will re-
main about where it is for many
years to come. The disposition of
the old county buildings will make
an opening for business that will
hold it east of G inter- street for
long time and should the courthouse
or other public building go onto the
east plazs, business will go up street.
We are therefore confirmed in our
formerly expressed ideas that the
plaza should be retained for public
purposes.

quently meets q "a Us and

that one detective Often plays bill
iards with a burgi.r at he of the
principal hotels directly after a
house has been ransacked by him,
and while the police are searching
the town for the man who did it.
Further, that the detectives make
sham arrests of persons on suspicion
of being connected with some house
breaking affair, bat there is never
any evidence to hold them and they
are discharged. The bad feature Of
it is that the exposure comes from
three thieves who were accidentally
captured and jailed, but the commit
tee are firmly convinced that while
there may be some exaggerations in
the statements taken, there is solid
basis of truth for most of the revela-
tion-. Let us go further and state
what is generally believed to be true
that as appalling as this disclosure
may be, it covers q system of rascal
ity that prevails to greater or less
extent in nearly all of the great cit
les of the United States. This hap
pens to be the first detailed expose,
but others even more startling might
be made, if like measures were taken
to reach the particulars.

CHICAGO, January 5-The Times
Washington special says that in his
report Secretary Lincoln sent in no
estimate for the Improvements Of
rivers and harbors, saying that in
the last river and harbor bill were
appropriations not in the interest of
and did not benefit navigation and
commerce. This was q reflection on
the intelligence of the Commerce
Committee and ths House and some
meinbers resented it. On the tenth
of December Page reported a resolu-
tion to the House, which was adopt
ed, calling on the Secretary to point
out the appropria ions in the bill
which were not for the beneat of
commerce and navigation. The Sec
rotary is said to have called in Gen.
eral Wright, chief of engineers, AID
asked him to make out list of ap-
preparations not in the interest of
navigation. Wright looked surprised
and said be knew of no such appro-
priatiODs and asked to be excused
from the performance of this duty
Then the Secretary is said to have
detailed a subordinate to 90 over the
bill and indicate the appropriations
that seemed to be of no earthly use
outside of the Congressional dis
trIcts in which they are loo ted, and
this list was sent to Congress to-day
In order to yindlcate themselves the
Commerce Committee intends to
pulverize Secretary Lincoln by dem
onstrating the Wit i importance of all
The streams, Slips and millponds for
which appropriations were made last
year, and which appear on the Sec
rerary's black list.
