'I can readily understand" said the in"
terror department clerk, ''why large retail
stores have Hoor-walkers. They are as neces-
sary in the business as are the clerks and
saleslades. But why this bureau Of a govern
ment department should support floor
walker is mystery to me-"
"Now, you're giving me news" quoth the
Avenue Man "out with it,"
"There goes our regular floor-walker now.
See him strut along the hall. He gets 81, 800
a year, ostensibly for clerking, but he never
lifts pen. He just struts about the halls
watching for senators and members as they
come in to see the secretary. There he has
one now. See how he smirks and smiles at
the great man, He has lots of 'hooence. but
he's foor-walking toady whom we all
detest."

In the case of inc United States vs. r. M. Zuck, Joseph C. Kay and T. ]. Jones, pending two days before U. S. Commissioner w. H. McGrew, in which the defendants were charged with larceny of hay upon the White Mountain Indian reservation, resulted in complete exoneration of the de- fendants and their discharge. The eAidence of C. B. Gatewood, on be- half of the prosecution, showed tha, Mir. Kay made contract with the Indians in the presence of the Lieu, tenant, and at his suggestion, for the privilege of cutting two cienagas of hay upon the reservation, and that Kay had put the hay, which the de. fendants were charged with stealing, under the contract.

The A.&. P. Line.

The Boston Transcript, of znd inst. |, has the following in the Stock Re port of that city, on that day:
 "Atlantic & Pacific stock sold at 73s. The Atlantic & Pacific line re- ceives ? per cent of all the gross traffic of the Pacific railroads west Of Fl Paso, Ogden and Albuquerque, which, under the transcontinental pool, is 46 per cent of . Il the through transcontinental business, which amounted last year to $II,ooo, ,ooo gross. The Atlantic X Pacific line, which receives this a7 per cent. Is the line from Albuquerque to San Fran cisco, of which 8I7 miles IS the At lantic X Pacific proper, from Albu- querque to Mojave, and BPS miles of the Atlantic & PacifC's line is ope- rated over the Southern Pacific tracks into San Francisco. If the roads in the far western pool-the Southern Pacioc, Atlantic X Pacific and Gen. tral Pacifc-recelve 46 per cent of this gross transconrinehtal trafc, or $5,o6o 900, and the Atlantic x Pa cihc line has 27 per cent of this, or ST, 366, 200, its own line of SI7 miles to Mojave will receive SI7;II45-i,s proportion of the distance to San Francisco-of this, or So4S,S34. This is the Atlantic & Pacific's present in terest in the through" business, and the management hopes to increase it in the future. The local business will amount to from $50, 900 to SIoo, 900 per month, and the "rebate" from the Atchison and St. Louis x San Francisco companies will insure fair "net" for the bond interest at the in ception of the enterprise.

An Important Decision.

In the Riparian rights case of Mil Ter & Lux vs. B. Haggin, to restrain the latter from diver,ing the water from Kern river, the Supreme Court has decided that the purchase from the State of lands bordering on a water course makes the purchaser a riparian proproprietor against subse- quent appropriation. This decision Is considered one of the most import ant ever rendered. in the State. IL covers an interest representing many millions of dollars. It practically re, duces the Hagin land, some 200, 900 acres, from valuation of about SEQ an acre, down to a mere nominal value. and increases the value of Mil Ter X Lux's land, about 100, 900 acres, up 10 eight or ten times its previous estimated value. .-S.

The zucG.catswood Affair.

The Albuquerque Democrat is in receipt of communication from an officer at Fort Apache, which gives some facts in relation to that cause ceebre, the Ruck case, winch are somewhat different from the account that first reached us. It says:
 Jack Kay purchased from the h. dians the privilege of cutting hay on certain cienegas on the reservation, with the distinct understanding that the hay should not be sold on the In. dian reservation. Mir. Zuck engaged Kay to deliver to him at a point twenty-two miles from Fort Apache certain amount of hay. Kay inform cd that his engagement forbade him to furnish him hay on the White Mountain Indian reserve. Ruck nev- ertheless persuaded him that he had a right to deliver the fruits of his labor wherever he chose. Kay, a we'll. meaning man, and standing we'll with the authorities at Fort Apache, be. lieved in this representation and put in a quantity of hay at a point known as Terrills ranch.
 When information reached Lieut.. Gatewood that Kay had violated his contract by furnishing to Zuck hay at some point on the reserve, he imme- diately arrested Kay. Zuck went to Fort Apache to arrange this matter, and was himself arrested, not as Rays accomplice, but as the instigator of Rays ofense. "Yui laciat per aliam, faciat per se.' Buck was the real offender, as he instigated Kay's of- fcnse. The latter appears to have been merely Bucks agent in this un. fortunate affair and to have been over. persuaded by him. Nevertheless, we are in receipt of information which shows plainly that Kay undoubtedly violated his contract, and thereby reudered himself liable to arrest and prosecution for violation of the United States statutes governing the Indian reservations.
 The reason of Zuck'i arrest was that he caused, instigated and abetted Kay's ohfense. Would it not be bet ter that the public should suspend its judgment until the opinion of com petent court has been rendered in this matter? To our certain knowl- edge, Lieutenant Gatewood acted in thls matter under the sanction and by the advice of the United States dis trict attorney for the Territory o: Arizona and of the United States marshal.
 As regards the alega ion of the Holbrook Times extra that Zuck was lodged in filthy den, etc., it IS stuff csently answered by the fact that Lieutenant Gatewood furnished him with bedding iron. his own personal supply. Under existing laws the lieutenant had no right to accept bail in Bucks case. e.-Courier.

Experiments are being made with Arizona quail in the east, where an effort is to be made to propagate, and, in some instances, to domesticatc them. Two pairs were recently shipped to Ohio and others will go to New York, New Jersey and Massa, chusetts. It may not perhaps be known that they are among the gam est of birds. During the. mating season the males fight stubborn bat ties which ends only in the death of one or the other of the comba,ants.

It will be news 70 many Arizonans to learn the fact that the farmers of the Territory have produced sufficient wheat to supply the whole Territory. This fact indicates that agriculture is coming rapidly to the front as the leading industry of the Territory. A few years ago most all the grain and flour consumed here was shipped from California.

Territorial Contest---Bean Elected to Con.
 gress.


 Returns from Yavapai. Mohave Graham, Pima, Yuma, Gila, Pinal and Cochise counties, gives the election to Bean for representative to congress. His majority in the territory will not be less than 700. This is defeat we very much regret, but as Bean said in his speech here and in other places, that representative not in accord with the administration was of no use 10 his constituents, and that he would not represent the people under such circumstances, he may resign, and compel the Governor to call special election! We don't expect it, but ac- cording to the republican practice dur ing the past 24 years, Mir Bean will be nonenity in the Arizona appoint ments under Clevcland's administra tion. Selah!

and soon came up smiling. He now
