House Bill 40.-The Joker that was found just in time to give an excuse for not trying Libeler Gill, never was and never can be q law of Arizona. 1Ir. Murphy, the Federal Secretary of the Territory, who gave the writer of this the Acts of the 18th Legislature to print did not include this so called act be- cause he did not consider 1t [ law. Harry Carpenter, the man who as sisted Secretary Murphy to arrange the laws for publication, was secre- tary of the Council of the 18th Legislature and had the History of every bill and act down in black and white, and he failed to include it. The Bill in question did not reach Governor Zulick until the 12th day of March, The Legisla- ture adjourned on March 21st. so that Zulicb did not hold ten days, consequentIyit was not made a law by his not having returned it.
 Again, everything in the Cover nor's office was turned over by Zu- lick to Wolhey long before the laws were given us to print. Every pa per therein relating to the 18th leg isIature, or emanating, from it was examined by Wolhey, his Secretary and Attorney General and they dld not give II, B. 40 to the Secretary to print. Neither did they give him the nine more vagrant bills. Bill 40 not having been printed; not having been submitted 10 Congress for rejection of approval, cannot be law of Arizona and we believe Judge Gooding will so decide. U. $. Attorney General Miller has all ready decided so, the U. s. Supreme Court Wills0 decide and no lawyers of prominence, save Attorney Gen eral Clark Churchill and Ex-Pound- er MT. w. Hardy will have the brass to stick to such an opinion.
 It is preposterous to think that a bill which is not signed by any gov ernor, which is not printed in the Acts; which was never taken out of a pigeon hole even for an airing until somebody wanted 1t to save Gill, should at this late day, be a law ot Arizona No, no, Judge Kibbey, such decision could not have leaked out of you when you were in your right legal mind. You must have been dreaming of Lewis Wolhey the First and Richiiieu Churchill, or, as correspondent once called him, "Clntchal), ; when you made such a Sitting Bull Rul- ing, a ruling that if carried out would disgrace Arizona Jurists, would work the Territory great in jury and only save professional liar and slanderer from being tried for libeling men of good repute, men who, unlike him, have done their country and Territory some service.-Prescott Courier.

Laws Passed by the 18th LegiSla-
 turC net Published.

The following Is a list of the laws passed by the Fifteenth Legislature and taken by the Governor for sig nature but not returned by him with or without approval within the statutory limit of ten days, Sundays excluded, and which are now eAec- tive under the decision that the Legislature did not adjourn sine die until April 10, 1889, These laws were yesterday declared valid by a decision of Judge Kibbey.
 In reply to the Herald mans in quiry as to why these laws have not been published, Secretary Murphy said that they had been retained in the possession of the Governor un- til he as Acting Governor had decid- ed to turn them over to the Secre- tary's office for file with instructions to furnish certified copies on de- mand, and that to publish them now in pamphlet form after adver Using for bids as required by law would not only be confusing but would consume the time from now until the session of the 10th Legis- lature, He had therefore thought best to notify the public through the papers of the existence of the laws and have them printed in the same volume with the laws of the 10th session providing they are not repealed:

BY reciprocity treaties Mir. Blaine may erect a temporary breastwork to cover the retreat of the high pro lection for q time, says the Boston Globe, but the Mckinley lines can not be maintained; a surrender sooner or later is inevitable. The Mckinley bill cannot be saved by MT. Blaine's reciprocity. Honest tariff revision, looking to a removal of the heavy taxes upon the neces- sities of the people, is the ineXora- ble demand of the people, and the Mckinley protectionists will be forced to fight it out on that line.

NOT a FAIR SHAKE.
ISalt Lake Tribune. I


The ColTier-JOmHdl prints the fol-
lowing:
If Mexico were TO suddenly annex itself
To the United states. senator Tcler's $4,000
miners would starve. 1t IS plain that we
must never let Mexico become "A part OF the
United states.
Oh. no. We do not want any part of
Mexico annexed. but If it were to be we
could manage H.. There would be some
more land To cultivatc; some more mines
TO open: some great cities TO be built. A
contingent of our own miners would 90
there. establish miners unions. compel
Mcxicans To work with pantaloons on,
and 10 send their children 10 school.
There would not any of the money come
here. II would all be needed there for
improvements. The thrill Of new life
would pass through that country, and
what was done in California by the ar
gonautS would be repeated there. Be
cause the farmer does not want the mon
grcl stock of his shiftlcss ncighbor To
break through the fences and mix with
his own is not sign that if he owned
the field of his neighbor he could not re-
pair the fences, pick up the stones, pillow
the field. and make il valuable. There
is no sentiment about this Mexican bust
ness. 1t il one of pure business. The
men OF Kansas and Texas affect 10 feel
very badly that the laws Of the United
States prevent them from supplying
80. 600 miners i'm Mexico. Only there
are two fatal defects in their program.
In the first place they could not
supply them If there was no tariff
on lead I'm the second place, for every
dollar they sent there they would lose
$40 from the west. The man who would
turn out his own son from work i'm order
To hire a Chnaman who would work for
One-third the sons wages, would be called
a brute. The same principle governs
this Mexican ore business. A nation
ought 20 be like a family; IL ought TO
discriminate i'm favor Of its own people.
When il does not it will get left. 1t will
lose caste. and IL will lose money. The
men of the west have built up great in
dustry i'm lead mining. The men who
have shelters on the Rio Grande can get
lead and pay the tariff as cheaply as the
men who have smelters i'm the Great
Basin. There Is no particular reason
why the government should give those
few smelters the sum of $50 per ton on
all ore they can obtain from Mexico IL
Is not fair shake 10 the rest of the
United States. 1t is not at all fair 10
the men of the west. The Courier
Journal thinks it is honest in its advo-
cacy of free Mexican ores. rs only
trouble is that IL is ignorant, and does
not understand the question IL essays To
discuss

serves that the democratic flllbuscrlng
on the tariff has simply resulted in lum-
bering up the Congressional Record with
over 1900, 900 words OF so-called de-
bate, and the consumption OF two months
time at an enormous expense TO the peo-
Pile. Not a single vote has been changed
i'm the senate. Mr.. Plumb has stated
that in his speeches. Mr. Vest has said
the same thing. The bill has
not been altered in one impor-
tant particular. IL is precisely
what the finance committee made it,
No amendment has been added ex-
ceptng with its consent. Then where, il
is asked, is the gain To Offset the enor-
nous loss? "Oh," Mr.. German says, lit
has had an educational effect" Yes,
some Of the democratic senator's have
been getting little tariff information at
enormous public expense. Mr.. McPher-
son has learned little, for example. On
Friday last he made an able argument
on the wool question, based on the fact
that i'm 1867 there ware $4,000, 600 sheep
in the United States. and only ~. 500, O79
i'm 1889. Ii was with considerable diff
Guilty that he could be convinced that
he was 100000 out of the way
i'm his figures, but he was finally
obliged To admit his error. though il did
destroy his argument. This kind of ed
ucation has been going on i'm the senate
every day, but it is expensive business
for the public. Otherwise the democrats
have gone over exactly the same ground
they covered at the last session. Mr.
Vest and Mr.. Mcpherson made the same
arguments and largely word for word on
the salt question last week that they
made at the last session, and Mr.. Carlisle
went over the same ground on the wool

for long time before reaching the
ledge the road has been graded up.
1t is just at the north of the present
road that one has the best reason to
fancy that he can see the marks of
the iron hoofs of Putnam's charge as
he slid down the ledge. There is
sort of natural stairway here, the cliff
not being too precipitous for a feat
like Putnam's, and sort of cow
path below leads into the main road,
following much the same course as
the closest students of the subject
think must have been taken by Put
nam. 1t is needless to say that the
startling picture that adorns the old
histories and reading books, show
ing Putnam galloping down a long
fight of impossibly steep stairs, is
greatly overdrawn. Yet one must not
belittle the old hero's feat, on pain
of meriting the chagrin that fell to a
young Englishman who was observ-
ing the scene of the exploit.
ssAw That was not such very
daring ride to make SO much of in
history said he.
"Perhaps not, said his Yankee
guide, "but you fellows daren't fol-
low him, and you wanted to catch
him awful bad"
A monument to commemorate this
deed and mark the spot could not
have more charming natural site
than the crest of the ledge on the
north side of the road Here under
tall trees is a natural, level plateau
whence one may look across the wide
valley to Stamford, or out upon the
sail-dotted Sound. Some day Green
witch will honor herself by placing a
monument there, founded on the rock
that Putnam rode over.
