EDITORIAL NOTES.


Mt. McGregor, New York, at 8
o'clock A. NJ, Thursday, July %,
1885.
The "Nogales Frontier" gives
as the cause of the Yaqui war,
a grant of land. embracing one
third of the State ofSonora, made
to Albert G. Carlo, Gustavo Tor
res and others, which would rob
the Yaquis of the fairest portion
of their inheritance. The fact
that Carbo's name is among the
grantees would indicate that the
war, with him, was a personal
matter.
A dispatch dated Ell Paso, July
goth, gives the following account
of the recent fatal railroad acct
dent at that place: "The east
bound passenger train, No. 1O2,
which left here yesterday morn
ing, was wrecked near Wallace
by striking small bridge which
had been washed out by heavy
rain storm. Engineer Wilson and
two firemen-one an extra fire.
man who was dead-heading to
Wallace on the engine-were
killed, and one passenger had
his leg broken. The passengers
were transferred to-day and no
delay occurred to other trains"
1t seems that it does not take
much heat to Kill people in the
City of New York. The highest
point reached by the mercury on
the 18th instant, in which day
several cases of sunstroke were
reported, was 95 degrees at $3.50
P. NJ, but at 6 P. NJ. it registered
80, and at midnight it was for
that hour at the unusually high
mark of 70. The average temper
AZURE of the day was S42, against
tit for the same day of last year.
From three o'clock twenty cases
of prostration were reported. Five
persons died from the heat DUR
ing the day. Five cases of pros~
tration and one of death were re-
corded in Brooklyn.
According to the best informa-
ton obtainable the Mexican Cow
eminent has lost, so far, at the
Yaqui war, about twelve hundred
soldiers, including several officers,
and Captain Pedestal, son of
the Spanish Ambassador to the
United States, who had enlisted
in the Mexican army for the pur-
pose of experiencing the excite
ment and training attending an
active military campaign. Owing
to the intense heat and malarial
complaints incident TO such
temperature in a region of such
rank vegetation as the Rio Yaqui,
the Mexican Government has de-
cided to withdraw the troops
until cooler weather is at hand,
which the knowing ones of that
country interpret to mean a prac-
tical abandonment of war which
was unwise to have ever begun.
The point has been raised by
the "Mohave County Miner"
that the acts of our last LegisIa-
ture would be of no effect, until
they had been submitted 10 Con-
gress. AS Congress was not in
session at the time the Legisla'
ture adjourned the acts could not
have been so submitted, and
therefore could not 60 into effect
This on first sight seems very
plausible, and should be settled
not only by some decision of oul
Territorial Supreme Court but by
some direct decision of the SUI
prerue Court of the United States
We do not at this writing re-
member the amount of bonded
Indebtedness of the Territory
including counties and munIcip
alities, but know the amount il
quite large one. Every one o
these issues have been made
under some act of our past Legis
lature, and the parties holding
these bonds could well afford tn,
cost of some test case to decid
