NATIONAL ELECTIONS.
THE PROPOSED LAW TO GOVERN
 THEM.
Text of the BiIl Prepared by the House Republican Caucus How It Will Operate.

WASHINGTON, June l6.-The National election bill framed by the House Re- publican caucus committee, has been printed.
 The principal features are: That the chief supervisors of elections in the judicial districts are charged with the execution of the law which is to apply to Federal elections in cities of 10000 or upwards and in entire Congressional districts exclusive of such cities upon the application to the supervisor of 100 voters, or in counties or parishes form ing a part of Congressional district upon the application of fifty voters.
 The supervisors are required to make in towns of 10000 people and upward, a thorough house to house canvass before the election, to inform voters upon in- quiry, where and in what box to deposit their ballots, and to scrutinize the nat uralizations. In canvassing votes the State laws are to govern except that all ballotts are to be counted by tens first by the inspector of election and second by the super visor, the local election officers and supervisors keeping separate tally sheets, which are to to be counted.
 The returns are to be made by the su- pervisor who is to tabulate and refer them to the United States Board of Can vassers of the Congressional vote which is to be appointed by the United States Court and consisting of three citizens of the State and persons of good repute not more than two of whom are to be of the same political party. The board is to convene on November 15 each even year and declare and cer- tify the result of the election and send one return to the clerk of the House of Representatives, one to the Governor of the State and one to the proper chief supervisor of elections. The clerk of the House is to place upon the roll the names of persons declared elected by the United States canvassers in case there is difference in the result reached by them and by the State elec- ton officers.

Good Work Being Done by the New
 Commissioners.
 The Commissioners of the Territorial Insane Asylum held special meeting yesterday afternoon. The most impor- tant piece of business transacted was the ordering of contract in which the Phoenix Water Company agrees to pipe to the asylum and to supply that insti- tuition with all water necessary, through the building, in the stables, for fire plugs and for sprinkling the grounds at a net rate of 1900 per annum. This move will enable the Board to make a large saving in insurance, to improve the grounds in superior manner and to adequately provide for cleanliness upon the premises.
 The Secretary was instructed to adver- tise for bids for the construction of an outfall sewer to the river.
 As will be noted by these projects the asylum is in vigorous hands and i'm provement is the order of the day.

aa7774 777l- 7lili174 FINE FRUIT.

Some Remarkable Specimens Brought
 to The Republican Office.
 A. l.. Henshaw, owner of one of the finest fruit farms in the valley, yester- day presented THE REPUBLICAN with two remarkable specimens of his pro duct. One was short apricot twig on which were clustered, within space of six inches, fourteen large and ripe Royal" apricots. Were it not 80 domon- strated, it would seem impossible for so many fine apricots to mature on so small sprig. The other exhibit was a small peach limb, less than half an inch in diameter at the largest end. To this branch were attached, inside of twenty four inches of it's length, no less than seventeen ripe and delicious peaches.
 These serve as samples of what the valleys capabilities are in the growing

Virgin River Salt.
Yuma Sentinel. I


 The Salt mountains, located on the banks of the Rio Virgin, an affluent of the Colorado river in Lincoln county, New, covers an area of twenty-five miles, extending to within seven miles of the junction of that stream with the Colorado. The salt they contain is pure and white and clearer than glass, and it is said that piece seven or eight inches thick is sometimes clear enough to see through to read a newspaper.
 Over the salt is layer of sandstone from two to eight fretsthick, and when this is torn away the salt appears like huge snowdrift. How deep it is has not yet been ascertained, but single blast of giant powder will blow out tons of it. The Colorado river steamers carry large quantities of it to Fl Dorado canyon, where it is used in the quartz mills. A prosperous business could be started in Yuma by hay ing Virgin river salt shipped just as it is taken from the deposit, crushing it here and preparing it for shipment. It is true that the salt manufactured at Salton on the California desert is pro- duced in large quantities, and at small cost, put tite lact IS dlsO Wci knOWH that the Virgin river salt is the purest native salt found in the universe, whilst the California article contains many impurities.
 The cost of mining the salt would be but trifling and the freight charges by steamer very low to Yuma. The crude product could be "worked up" here with small expense and the advantages of Yuma as general shipping or distribut- ing point for the product, are simply unequalled. The Southern Pacific rail road would carry it to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and if freight rates became unreasonably high, which is not at all likely, then shipments could be made down the Colorado river to the Gulf of California from whence it could be transported by vessels wherever the demands of trade re- quired.
 An enterprise of this character re- quires but little capital, and it is sure to repay the investor thousandfold. It is only question of short time when this business will be taken hold of, thus adding one more factor to Yuma's pro- gress and future prosperity.

Why the Farmers Have Good Reason to
 Make Complaints.
 WASHINGTON, June 16.-In the report to accompany the pure food bill reported from the Senate committee on Agricul- ture and Forestry, Chairman Paddock says:
 "While eminent chemists are not agreed that lard compounds are dele terious to health, there can be no dis sent from the view that such articles should be sold under their rightful names and marketed as compounds, and not as simple products which they simu- late. Farmers, who see their products lessened in value every year by millions through sophistication and mis-brand- ing, and their tables assailed in turn with fraudulent manufactured food pro- ducts, have every reason to complain that they are robbed at every turn of the wheel D

Ten Republican Senators Said to Favor
 Such Measure.
 WASHINGTON, June 16.-Concerning the silver bill Senator Jones of Nevada said today that several Senators desire to speak yet and that notwithstanding an agreement that the debate close at 3 o'clock today no one would be prevented from speaking who expresses desire to do so. He thinks final vote will not be reached for two or three days. The Senator said it seemed quite probable now that the bill passed would be one providing for free coinage. He said the effort to secure pledges of majority of the Senate to vote against free coinage had been failure.
 A list of Republican Senators favor able to free coinage as given by one of them includes Wolcott, Teller, Jones, Stewart, Plumb, Ingalls,, Mitchell, Powers, Sanders and Cameron.

To the Editor Of the EvHsIH0J JOURNAL.
sra | have seen ssme letters from

OF the SUSSEX bar blooming" their faw-
oritou for the judgeshiP, and this pre-
same arises from ths fact that ths inn
preston has gene out that Governor
BiRes will not appoint sitber Mr.. Rob
lnssn or Mr.. Cullen to the position, be-
cause he has soms personal objections to
them both. Now ws have governor in
whom the people Of the state feel lust

amd whenever the occasion has presented

and rsputation Of our judiciary in co@r
mon With his fellow citizens, and he Ger
tainly feels . peculiar pride In
his own adminlstration; therefore
his many friends in Sussex
sounty ridicule the idea that he will not

FAvoRlTE AND FALSE.

One of the favorite arguments Of the
Republican press the strictly sparsisan
and senselsns portion of it's the
census.
First they make a strictly partisan
count Of the woolly heads In com
munlty and from that they deternlns 30
their swR satisfaction the number Of
votes the Republican candidates should
have. They never have that mumber, no
matter what sort Of trial, no mAttsr
under what excitement an elecsion ls
held. no matter what question Of public
interest may be before the people.
Thus the Morning News ia making
very silly and exaggerated claims for It's
Republican constituency when there ia
nothing but vivid Republican Political
imagination TO support such claims
The necessity for votes Is the shlef reason
..or tAslr hypothetical existence.
After hot CANVASS a short time ago,
wheA every effort known TO the nacAine
was used to bring ont and reward ths
Republican patriots for attending TO their
political duties, there were only 5000
voters, including repsatsrs and nsn-
residents. Another teat 10 the olroulA-
lAtion Of the papers. 1t Is well -knewn
that the Republican papers, vita sAs
msaaleY and humiliatinR exception, havs
the smallest circulation In the city.

After making the count to suit thsm-
selves the Republicans bsgIM 70 claim
every election. It does mot matter about
che facts In the oAss, whether thsii
alleged constituency are 200 psor, toe

deposit their votes, they are estimated
just the same sc as to eject the man whs
got the votes and inject the fraud whs
aid not get them.
