THE GoEs EXCITEMENT ss EswER CAL.
 ErSgyEA

Tho Lower Californian, of March 21st, is devoted almest entirely to re- ports from the Santa Clara gold fields, and as is to be expected of the organ of the International Company, they are all of favorable character. A correspondent writes that the popula- ten of the district was then about 3200, and many persons arriving dai- ly. There had been heavy and pro. tracted rains, in consequence of which work had been suspended for seme days. Various reports in regard to both plaesrs and quartz lodges were all encouraging, and several of those interviewed were enthusiastic over the alleged discoveries. Nearly all claimed to be taking out considerable gold, varying from S10 to $50 per day, The Lower Californian says: In all our reporter interviewed 104 placer min CTS, and of that number 75 were doing we'll The miners invariably pro nounce the quartz lodges as being very rich"
 Reports eminating fran other sources prineipally from persons who have returned from the new diggings, are very aiscouraging, and charges are freely made that the excitement was gotten up by tho International Com pany to put money in their pocket, and sssist them in carrying out their contract with the Mexican Govern mAnt. It is claimed that the Inter- national Company contracted to bring 1000 settlers to Lower California with in three years, and 10000 within twenty years; and for every bona tide settler there at the end of twenty years they are to receive from thc Mexican government SGo per h8ad for five years. During the summer months there is said to be no water in the Santa Clara distnct, not even enough fer the ordinary uses of the people already there. George Hualler, formerly connected with the Interna- tional Company, IS quoted as saying,
 Mining in the Enserada country neeessitates a vast amount of money, owing to tue lack of water, and it |; net the best country to live in

INCONSISTENT.

In referring te the protest of Deme- cratic members of the 18th Legisla- tive Assembly against the revolution ary methods of the Republican mem bers in prolonging the session beyond the statute limitation of 60 day" it occurred to us that the two preceding legislatures, which were Democratic, were guilty of the same revolution aryH otfenSc, and ih order to smother the fact, the printed journals of those sessions were falsiiied as to dates of adjournment, which the BELT took iiete of shortly after thelr occurrence. Doubtless the reason for antedating the time Of aalournGentS of the ses- slons referred to was that they would be screened from the effect of the tal- sity of the records upon the supposed legal hypothesis that oral testimony would not avail m the face of printed journals, Is it net, therefore, pre- sumable that the offending Republi- cans also base their hope of success upon their fixing the journals of proceedings for the purpose of pres venting a judicial declaration of exist ing facts
 The 18th remained in session 6l days, or one day longer than certified in the journals by H. NJ. Van Arman, tben Secretary of the Territory, The 14th k0pt no journals and eonsequent- ly, there was no lawful record of the daily proceedings of that body. Sec retary Bayard in certificate certify ing to what he is pleased to designate a journal, ayers that the proceedings herein contained, arc printed accord ing te the manuscript MINUTES upon file Tn my office, with the exception of the proceedings of the council of Feb ruary 24th, copy of the same net having bean furnished me. The Secre- tary, in said certificate, says: "The omission has been supplied from the best source available.
 Webster defines minutes as "short hints, a sketch to preserve the memo " of anything, contract, 8 conYersa- ton or debate" The minutes refer red to by the Secretary were in pencil, on fugitive papers, rolled and found, stored In cupboard, after the adjourn ment of the legislature, thus aiiording opportunities for changing the context of any of the flaws" One of the csr- tain and fixed rules governing legisla- tion is that journal shall bs kept in which shall be recorded the circum- stances which gives the necessary yali- dity to laws.

Brewster and Colin Cameron made @ miscue in their andeayor to head off the confirmation of Lewis WolHsy as Governor of Arizona, and no doubt they think so now, after being ap- prised that their charges against that gentleman dld net cause slngls Sen ator by hls vote, or otherwise, to ep- pose Wolfoy's confirmation. This branch of old Slmon's family never felt so entirely ignered, in the houses of their political friends, as in the present instance The senior Came ron mainly depended upon his power of resistance for success, and the juniors seemed travelling in the foot steps of their lllustrious political pre- decsssor and, counting without their host, got left.
 The charges made by Colin and Brewster Cameron, of Arizona, whe claim large tracts of land in that Ter ritory, were as follows: They employed WolHey for six weeks Tn surveying and clearing up titles. He charged them $l500, of which $500 was for ex- psnses. The matter was finally com promised for $1000, after Welfey had offered to subnit the matter to arbi- tration.

AMERICAN COPPER PRODUCERS PRO.
 TEdTED.

4 late issue ot the Iron Age says; ''So far as the mining companies i'll this couHtry are concerned, the sitpa- tion is the following. Every one Of them received lstters of credit on bankers like the SsligmaEs, Belmont X Cs., Peabody < O., Brown Brothers, Ladenburg, Thalman < Ca., Muller, Schall & Co, and others. for sums equivalent to the purchase price for the output of the guaranteed figure, While in the majority of cases these credits were only for one years prod uct, others were for the output for the whole period of three years. The mining companies delivered the cop per to the agents Of the syndicate, but drew against their credits only to the extent of those amounts of copper which were not sold to consumers in this country The result has been that--at least with the majority of the lake companies only small part of the sums secured to them by credits were drawn. The credits for the first years product expire during ths next few months, and 1t is probable that considerable balances will remain to the good of the bankers. They in turn appear to have principally worked with the. Compton d Eseompto, although other French banking insti- tutlons are involved. Demands made by the mining companies upon the American bankers during the past few days have been promptly met. To the American minlng companies the only uncomfortable feature about the situation IS the certainty that the exceptional profits of 1888 are not likely to return for many year. So far as the immediate future of the metal IS concerned, it IS pretty clear that the stock of the speeulators is tied up in the hands of bankers who have loaned on it enough money to make it probable that the metal will not be sacrificed by throwing it over for what it will fetch.
 "The majority of large consumers in this country have made contracts up to June for Lake copper at 16se. A flow declined to enter into them, but the majority took at least part of their needed supplies. Outside of tbs holdings of the syndicate and the bankers affiliated with it, very little, if any, Lake copper IS available in this market, and not much can be returned from abroad in the or1glnal packages duty free" :"
 The Engineering and Mining Jour nal confirms the above statement. It says; "It IS reported from Boston that the Lako companies will keep the prices in this country up at about present level until the end of May, the tune at which the last pool sale con- tracts, at l62c. per pound, expired

Fifiy-eight laws were enacted by the 10th Legislature, and majority of them, if not all, went into effect upon being signed by the Governor, and although there is no way fer the people, generally, 10 ascertain what they are until published three or fsur months hence, yet they are now in full force and the citlzen IS fiable ior their infractien.

 This action seems not improbable, seeing that the companies are secured un to that time under tho bankers letters of credit
 Ut seems very doubtful, however, whether the arrangement arrived at last week, under which the principal producers in this country agreed to reduce thsir output from lb to 25 per cent, will he carried out, as it Is sx- caedingly unlikely that these bankers guarantees will be renewed again in May for the unexpired period ot the syndicate's contracts that is to May, 1891"

THE nnEssED REEF QUESTION.


 THE DGEs8ED REEF QUESTION.
 
 A decided reaction seems to have set in among Western cattlemen Tn regard to the alleged beef trust, and inspection laws discriminating agalnst dressed beef are not meeting with much favor Caught by the cry of the Big Four monopoly "beef trust, etc, cattle raissrs did not stop to in vestigate tho matter, but concluded that because the price of beef was lew the packers of Chicago and Kansas CIty must be responsible for it. Sup ply and demand have always besn supposed to regulate prices and cer- tainly for the last several years there has been Ao scarcity in the offerings of range cattle at Kansas City and Chleago In fact as everybody knows those markets have been glutted with cattle, largely of an inferior quality, for which there have been no buyers save the packers.
 Besides the Big Four" there arc numerous other dressed beef establish ments, about twenty in Chicago alone. They can use to advantage the infa- rior grade of cattle supplied by the range country, because the choice DOT ton of earcasses can be put upon the market and readily sold, and what re- mains is suitable for canning, sa that little goes to waste. On the other hand the butchers will buy nothing but prime beef, and have no use for range cattle. If the local inspection law was generally adopted by the various States the effect would be to greatly decrease and injure the busl- ness of the packers and eanners, and create another monopoly, the butch CTS, who would draw their supplies mainly from loealsources-home raised and fattensd beef
 A late Kansas City dispatch sug- gests a plan by which tho packers might protect themselves rom hostile legislation, namely, by retaliation. They would simply boycott cattle from those States and Territories which prohibit the introduction of dressed beef, This would be simple and ef- fectiye remedy aud would soon bring their opponents in the range country ts time.
 Vary little dressed beef is sold in the West, Most of il IS shipped to East ern States and said in tue large cities. To destroy this traffic would be simply to eurtail the market for range cattle, and glye the field over to the Eastern butchers with their stall fed beef. If inspection laws are passed gener. ally, then large slaughtering and re- frigerating establishments Ill the range country would be Impossible Texas { is sHdeavoriag to build np trade in refrigerated meats, and when a deep water harbar k secured, very large proportion of her cattle trade will be 1 diverted through that channel ts At laRtie coast and European ports. With this prospect before them, sigbts of the cattlemea of that State recog, nize that ts enact a local inspection law would bs suicidal,
 Colorado and New Mexico have passed inspection laws, and already are finding out their error, as is eyi- deneed by the unfavorable criticisms of the press. Fortunately Arizona es- capped such enactment, and we will have two years 10 consider the quss- ton, and can benefit by the experience of our sister Territory, New Mexico.

of the growing independence of the

years developed so remarkably p
1t points out that 1.-THE South

the people are gaining ground every
day by their own efforts; that wind
fall like that proposed would cause

To let the South keep on as she has

Thus one by one the leading Southern

Boston advertiser. No opponent
ventures to raise the question of the
legality OF Senator Sherman's congres-
sioual elections bill, delegating the
reception, custody, counting, and GER
tifying of the votes cast for congress
men exclusively 10 the charge of fed
eral officers. 1t is by all odds
the best provision yet suggested
to secure a fair count, if not
free ballot, and fair minded Democrats
will hesitate for long time before
concluding to oppose it, even If it does
aim to secure the right of black Re-
publicans to east their votes and have
them counted. Some suggestive con-
trasts may be afforded by ranging side
by side the votes cast at an election
for representative controlled by federal
officers and those cast for presidential
electors at an election regulated by
state and local authorities. By the
provision that the expense of choosing
presidential electors shall be borne by
the federal treasury in the event that
the state legislature shall direct their
choice In the same manner as that
prescribed for congressmen, he gives
an opportunity to see how much value
is set by the states on the security
offered for a fair count. Against the
satisfaction of scoring phenomenal
popular majorities for dominant-race
men will be set the cost of such ma
lorities to the state, IL Senator Sher-
mans bill becomes law.
