AN UNJUST BURDEN.
Yakima Sional.l

The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany is reported TO have sold during the
month of June $3.50 acres of land at
AN average price of $3.50 per acre, or
sos, S,683 in cash. This, 1t should be re-
membered, represents the sales for only
oas month. II the whole grant was
represented by a sheet Of foolscap, the
sales here reported might perhaps be
represented by piercing a hole through
the paper with fine cambria needle.
And vet this little hole represents more
than tlce hundred thousand dollars wrest-
ed from the hands Of honest toll and
heaped upon the Golfers of the rich,
aristocratic nabobs who live in royal
splendor in the great cities of Europe
and America. But. il ia answered, these
lands were not all sold to American far
mers, a good share of them having been
purchased by foreign and home capital
ists. This is so much the worse, for in
this way they must either he paid for 10
time at a greatly advanced price by
those who till the soil for living. or
they must be rented and thus become
the basis of that process Of degrad alton
which promises in time to reduce the
free American farmer to that deplorable
condition in which we now find the
poverty cursed tenants of Ireland.
Bat for the purpose of speculation let
us suppose that this railroad company
SHALL be permitted 30 retain its entire
grant. and that out of this it should
sell one fourth, or, say 10.000. 900 acres
at $5 an acre. This represents the
enormous sum of 6fty million dollars
Now who Is il that pays this $5O,OOO.OOO
bonus Is it the saloon keeper, who
has concluded that il would help his

shameless trick. and who thinks he can

President Robert Harris. of the North
ern Pacific. arrived at st. Paul AZ IA
Yesterday morning. having run success
FULLY the gauntlet OF the DuIssh report
ers to fall into the ambuscade of the =.
faui force ; and the universal verdic. i,
that Mr.. Harris can talk easily, politel,
and well on more subjse.s and say les.
about railroads. and particularly tn.
Northern Pacific, than any man who
has ever made the round trip over il
fron Lake Superior to Portland. At
tacKed simultaneously in front, rear
and on both hanks. he successfully re.
pulsed each advance and warded of
every thrust, and be did it, too, in a
way that made each reporter feel tha,
be was under infinite obligations TO the
President of the road for courtesies re-
ceived, II rot for Intelligence contrib.
uted.
In brief, Mr. Harris had been over the
road from cast to west and from west
TO east, found il in excellent condition
both as regards roadbed and rolling
stock, and all its departments. local and
general. well handled. finely conducted.
and economically administered. The
crops along the road, and here he sup
plemented his o zn observations by at
tachiRg to them the verdict of his fellow
travellers, we're excellent, and the cities
and towns thriving beyond expectation.
THE OREGON RAILWAY AND NAVIGATION
COMPANY.
The details of the lease of the Oregon
hakway and Navigation Company's
PROPERTY, consisting of over 100 miles
OF road. with its improvements and
rolling stock, steamships and steamboat
lines, had been arranged, but no con-
tract had been signed. Fipal action
would probably be taken when he ar
rived In New York. IL affairs culmi-
mated, as there was every reason at
present TO expect they would. all the
property and property interests of the
Oregon improvement Company, the
Oregon and California Railroad Com
pany, and the Oregon Transoontinental
Company would pass in property TO the
control and uss of the Northern Pa
cific Company, and be operated as one
line and under one general government.
IL this contract should be econsummated,
which. as yet, IL was not, the building
OF the various branches and extensions
would be in no mann sr interrupted, as
none were in course of construction that
in anv degree coafiicted with the Joint
interests of the company if consoli-
dated.
THE MINNEAPOLIS SHOPS.
In regard to locating the company's
shops at Minneapolis. the President had
not word to offer, but dismissed the
subject as if it was one of those things
relegated to the future. There was
nothing in his manner, however, to in
dioate that the purchase of st. Paul real
estate by the company was finally TO
the action of the company on the ques-
tien; on the contrary, in the absence of
direct negative reply. il is safe to pre-
sume the opposite condition of affairs
exists, and that the hberality of the cit
liens and value OF business will yet have
a weighty. influence in the settlement of
the question. In regard to the con-
templated improvements at Duluth and
other places, President Harris was
equally retioent.

The Gazette defends the lax
 manner in which the recent edi- tion of the Resources of Arizona
 were distributed, by saying that under the law by which the book
 was published the commissioner was obliged to distribute them
 where they would do the most good. The argument is that where they are sent out of the Territory they do more good than when distributed here, from the fact that we already know what we have, whereas non-residents do not. All this is very nice and looks we'll on paper; but it would he well to look little deeper into the law authorizing the printing of the Resources. The last legis- lature, in the general appropria- bill, set apart the sum of $5,000 "for the publication and distrihu- tion of a second edition of ten thousand copies of the Resources of Arizona" which first edition was issued "under and by virtue of act numbered B, session laws  of the 11th Legislative Assem- bly," Reference to this act shows that the first edition was to be distributed in tAe cities and rail- road centers of the Eastern States and on the Pacific Coast, in such a manner as will give them the the widest and most useful circu- lation, and "he shall furnish thirty copies to each member of the Eleventh Legislative Assem- bly," AS the second edition came under the provisions of this act, we claim that the commissioner has not done his duty. 50 far as Yuma county is concerned. Un. til the provisions of this act have been complied with, we shall con- sider that the commissioner has not carried out the object for which his office was created.

MT. Chas. D. Poston is endeav- bring to establish a society of pioneer AriZonans. We are glad to see that the press and people of this Territory are so prompt Tn furthering such scheme, and we wish to add our own voice in ap- preval of the measure. While there is liable to be 9 little con- tentiOn about the period which shall admit persons to member ship, still there is no question about the benefits which will arise from the establishment of such an organization. We most earnestly hope that 1t will soon become an accomplished fact. There is much matter of value and interest to history which would thus be secured and per petuated, and which posterity can ill afford to lose. The SENTI- NEIL will take pleasure in doing all in it's power to aid the organ ization, both in forming and car- rying out it's obj jects.

The Star man was in a bad way the other day over the seisure of cigars at the peniten- tiary. After bitterly denouncing the prison authorities for allow ing the cigars to be made, re- buking the Governor for putting such men in charge of the ins- titution, and making politicial capital right and left, his con- science smote him. "Great heavens" he soliloquized, "what if my skirts should not be clear! !! What if the disease should be- courageous! What if there were unstamped cigars under my bedw In breathless haste he hurried home to dispel the dark phan tom which clouded lis brain. Before his couch he prostrated himself but not in prayer. The divine command is to watch as we'll as to pray, and the average news. paper man has a great deal louder call to watch. The editor of the Star watched; and when he arose from his devo- tional posture the corners of his mouth winked knowingly at each other from the back of bis neck. He only saw what once before greeted the eyes of Don Alfonso, as described in Ryron's "Don Juan," Canto 1, paragraph CXLIV.

 the incarnate fiend who ruined
 the happiness and destroyed the honor of a peaceful, innocent family. Law was betrayer in this instance. It justified a de- mon in the most heIlish outrages which a human being can infiict upon his fellows. Nay, it even protected the assassin and se- ducer. There is supreme ven- geance in the hands of the
 wronged, for such a state of things,sif the wronged are divine enough to dare to use it. Young Mutt took his life Tn his hand and avenged the terrible wrongs of his sister and his family, when no other power would punish the fiend. Everywhere, all over the land, the deepest solicitude was felt for him while in the fickle hands of the law, and all over the land, from the honest hearts of every good and true citizen goes up a "Tbank God" at the result of his trial, which will reach high heaven and ought to cause rejoicing there.

Right properly has the jury in the case of young Mutt, the slay- CT of Dukes been acquitted, but we are sorry to say that the ver- dict was fnunded on the theory of his insanity. He should have been acquitted on the grounds of his just cause for committing a terrible deed, and yet a deed that neither God nor man should con
 demn him for. Law was power less to reach the murderer of his
