Every County should take Advantage of It.

The Bullenn believes that the Arizo- TO funding law is one that will result in a benefit 10 every county in the Terri tory that takes advantage of it. Itpro- vides for the funding of all floating in debtedness in 20-50 year bonds, which shall bear interest ut not more than : per cent, per annun. This will be g great saving in interest and will defer the payment of principal to time when the wealth of every county in Arizona will be three or four times what it is now. Under the new law, counties are prohibited from going in debt beyond the limit of i per cent. of their assessed wealth. Like all other laws, this funding law may be abused, and carried on in such an extravagant manner as to allow the expenses incl dent to putting ii in successful opera tion to consume a large part of the savings. The Board of Supervisors of Graham county, We hope, will lose no time in having our floating warrants taken up under this law. It will put our county government on a cash basis after January lst, and leave our obliga- dons to be paid, il part, by those who come to our county in the future, to receive the benefits of the hardships borne by our hardy pioneers.

mincral Lands sp Railroad Grants.
(s. F. Chronicle J

In July, 1862, the United States granted to the Central Pacific Railroad Company all the odd sections of public land within ten miles of the line of it's road on each side, saving and excepting mineral lands. In February, 1890, the company sold to one Francoeur a tract of land in Nevada county, on which is situated the Eagle Bird mine. This mine was and is held by one Newhonse under n mining patent issued in 1887 Francoeur brought an action of eject ment, relying on his railroad deed, and on Wednesday the Judge of the Circuit Court in which the action had been tried charged the jury that all such land as was readily ascertaihable as mineral land ill 1862, or at the date of the definite location of the railroad, must be considered as excepted from the grant Under this instruction s verdict was rendered for the defendant --that is, the mineral claim prevailed over the railroad claim.
 It is said that in the Sacramento Land district alone there are 750 patented mineral claims located on odd sections, and that the verdict in the Francoeur- Newhouse case will be decisive of the merits of all these patents and will in- sure the patentees in their holdings
 Although it did not so appear on the recori, il is asserted that the Central Pacific was the real plaintiff in the case just decided, its claim being based npon the proposition that the railroad com pany is entitled to all lands which were not known in Jnly, 1862, to contain minerals. Should such construction prevail it would make the Central Pa cific one of the most extensive mine owners in the world, and would defeat to very great extent, the general min ing statutes of the United States.
 In view of the terms of tie original grant to tie railroad, il is not easy to see how it could have contended for q construction other than that given to the get by the Circuit Court. The act ef Congress reads. Provided, That all mineral lands shall be excepted from the operation of this act. This clear ly means just what it says, and does not mean only such lands as were known to lje mineral lands at the date of the pas sage of the act.
 The fact is thnt the Central Pacific thought il SAW chance 10 deprive the people of the right to take up mineral land under the general laws, and to compel those who had already located mining claims to purchase their mining ground from iho company. When ii ia called to mind that the single mine re- ferred to, the Eagle Bird, is valued at $1, ,0oQ, ,00o, it is easy to see to what e1- tent the finances of the corporation might have been assisted even by com promises, had the impudeut claim been carried to D successful issue.
 There are hundreds of people, possi- sibly thousands to whom this decision is all important They will not be de, coiYtd IS to who the real plaintiff in tho Francoeur s,ni was, and the knowledge of this covert attempt of inc Central Pacific to rob them of their property will not tend to increase their admira tion or love for that corporation.

Tho withdrawal of the arid lands from entry was ridiculous perfor- nance, and the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico are especially suffer ing from it. Congress ought not to adjourn until it undoes it's former blind work, and restores the rule thet pre- vailed before the arid lands were with drawn from entry. The excuse doubt less was made that frauds were being committed by which some men were securing more land than they were en- titled to. This should have been cor reeted by having the laws more rigidly enforced, and not by action that would retard the settlement of country that, with water and energy, can be made to blossom like the rose and produce ill great abundance Phoenix Republican

 were cast for Harrison atd l6S for Cleveland The sure Republican vote
 was 182, and Harrison carried the two doubtful States of New York and fn- diana, with 6 combined vote of 51. At
 the next election it is safe to say that five of the six new States will be Re publican and one, Montana, may be classed as doubtful. The ''sure Repub- lican vote" will thus be increased to 19S.

with spasmodic dashes of the vaudeville,
brimful of naughtiness and pretty women
in captivating toilet, all boiled together into
three incoherent acts, was produced last
night at the Gymnase. Loriquois is Par

able temperament a. far as women are con-
cerned. He is a sort of volatile planet re-
volving about three stars, viz. his wife. a
severely beautiful woman; his mistress.
Colinette. Jealous, ardent, meritricious
Russo, who owns mdOeSin dcs modes, and
a deliciously attractive, mezzo-blonde
American millionaire widow.
The first act opens in Loriquois' Office.
The risky advocate is out shooting. 1t isl
O'Clock: he has not yet returned for break
fast, ard his wife is awaiting his arrival
with Impotence. 1t turns out that he
passed the night in joyous company at the

The third act passes at a fashionable

charmed. Once horse was killed under
him from the brush, again bullet buried
itself IN the pommel of his saddle, and at
another time hole was shot in hts hat.
Once after he arrested without way
rant three thieves and turned them
over to the sheriff, gang came
to the ranch to kill him. He
jumped right into the fight and routed
the mob in short order. Even in cheyenne
he was unsafe, for one night two fellows
jumped on him from an alley, but were
bested in the unequal fight, for Henderson
was a pugiiist. He could look into the
muzzle Of a gun without winking, for he
was once caught unaware and put to this
test by coward who had not the nerve TO
shoot even then. In this city four wears

A cLERGYMAN'S SENSE OF DUTY

refusing TO take the oath and swear as to

There was the usual number of spectators

the chairman and his assistants decided to
enter the clergyman's name upon the rolls.
Rev. Peters was asked by reporter why
ne objected to take the oath. IN the first
place, refused because 1 don't believe in
the custom of kissing the Bible or in
swearing by it, except on unusual and
solemn occasions; and in the second place.
refused to have my word questioned by
lot OF men such as were employed at this
registration bureau. kissing the Bible is
aelic of barbarism which should be
abolished. In every court you well find a
dirty book made vile and unhealthy by con
slant hadling and kissing of low and dirty
witnesses. Besides. such an action does
not make man tell the truth; the oath is
too common in our courts Oaths are
curses nowadays. If the oath is admins
tered at all, ii Mould be done in the most
solemn manner and not by lot of men
who know nothing Of its meaning.''
He intends to preach next Sunday morn
