The Supreme Court Of the United States recently rendered a decision Of much importance to the country as il will govern many other similar cases.
 Many years ago the Chicago. Burliua. ton and Quincy railroad company. oh tained a charter from tue State Of ul. nols, which authorized tue company .t
 establish such rates of toll for the con. veyance Of persons or property as the, shall from time to time by their bylaw. determine" This was direct grant Q. power to the company to charge wha ever rate t pleased. About three year ago, or twenty five years after the i,su ance of the charter above referred to. the legislature passed law reducing the rates ot fare and freight on all road in Illinois. regardless of the provision, of the charter which allowed the raj - road company to make its own rate. The company claimed that -ucl le.isla- tion impaired the obl sations Of its con- tract with the State and was therefor, unconstitutional But the Supreme Court of the Unitei States holds tha' the power Of the State to control a rji- road corporation which 1t has created, i. the matter of freight and passenge charges is supreme, and that the clausr m the charter giving the railroad con- pany the right To ix its tolls could no deprive the State of its controlling pow

The President Coming.

It is rumored that President Arthur | contemplates spending his summer vaca. tlon ID California, and that he will, Il bis plans matare as now expected, ar. rive in the month of August. IL is to be hoped that his present intention will not be abandoned. California will give the President a cordial greeting. But one President has ever visited the State. The hospitality extended to Mr Hayes will be even more marked and generous ID the case of President Arthur, since he will not come in the midst of a na- tlonal campaign. The time of his com ing will be most oppOrtune, as at that date the Knights Iemplar from the East will be with us, and the whole people will be enthused with the spirit that anlmaies the cordial and willing host. IL would be very gratifying II the Pres ident could be induced Co SO time his visit as to spend a day or two m this Capital City at the time of the holding Of the annual exposition of the State Agricultural Society, and the inaugura- ton Of the new hall Of industrial and agrIcultural art, when he would enjoy the opportunity of meeting thousands of the representative citizens of the interior and of viewing an exposition of the resources of the State.-Racord- Union.
 But 1t would never do for the Pres ident to come west without paving Tue son visit. He should have an immense ovation.

Ex GOVERNOR Seymour who has some good general ideas upon most questions. in an interview with representative of the New York MaIl and Express. recent ly, stated that he "was in favor of a law Of Congress making 1t a crime for any resident within our borders rof the Uaited States to plan or aid ia the ex- ecution of violent measures toward per sons in this country or in any other country. This would at once be self protection and at the same time an up- right observance of the relations which should, if they do not now, exist between the United States and all powers Such law should exist, and if there is no law bearing on this question, Vt heartily agree with Mr. Seymour, that it is high time that foreigners, who come to this country for the purpose of making homes and becoming naturahzed clti- zens of the United States, should know, that they are expected to live up to their declarations and abide by the laws of their adopted country. The prompt condemnation )f the dynamite orgaaiza- ton, by the leading journals of both tbe republican and democratic parties m this country is the best evidence that ths Uui'ed States do not sanction such proceedings.

TIE fact that an abundance Of water has been found at Red Rock, and Lords
 bTrg, will greatly encourage stock men to dig for water on cattle ranges where no water is at present known to exist There Is no end 10 the good cattle ranges in Arizona, 1T water can ouly be obtained by digging. The economy in herding cattle oa ranges where stock must come to water every day, more than offsets the ad dlitional expense re- 9uirel to raIse the water to the surface. When a cattle range IS on a running stream Of water they scatter and stray of If not closely heraei or watched; 6ut when they have but one or two places to water they never stray, and less than half he help is required that IS nece5- ssry to take care of cattle along water courses The more people scrutinIze the possibilities Of Auzona the better they appear One by one the obstacles and difficulties are beng overcome. It IS now pretty thoroughly demonstrated that both the agricultural and grazing lands of Arizona can be extended far beyond what was formerly believed.
