TIE editorial opinion expressed in cer- tain quarters that the revival of the law respecting the formation of the grand juries in this territory will not affect the status of persons already convicted under the old law. is misleading. It is a well known principle of law that conviction l, for a crime must be made under lawful procedure and that a good indictment cannot be had by a grand jury illegally drawn. Therefore the door is open for hundreds of habeas corpus cases and new prosecutions under the newly discovered Rip Van Wrinkle statutes of our happy Territory.

WHEN the Phenix Republican announc- cd tnat it was ready and willing, nay anxious, to meet the libel suit brought against it by ex-Governor Fulick, and was prepared to meet the indictment, we naturally assumed that signal triumph in the courts would follow it's open boast. However, we have witnessed a series of legal bubbles interposed to postpone a trial and from appearances we are forced to confess that it looks as though an is- sue is not desired. We naturally feel a prejudice in favor of the craft, but we like to see manly and square contest in matters of this kind. If the Republican is guiltless, it matters little whether the jury finding the indictment is legal or not, as the trial alone will determine it's liability; if it is guilty, every possible pretext to postpone the issue may be ex- podient, but the people will not certainly be blinded by such proceedings. Let the Republican invite the issue and abide by the result and it will thereby command the greater respect of the people, even though it fails to sustain it's position.

ABOVE all other considerations the com ing legislature should not lose sight of the one central idea-the demand for re- duction in taxation. Every useless ex- pense should be cut off and every orna- mental office abolished Further than this, there are many other wasteful drains upon the public exchequer that can be stopped without detriment to the pro- gress of the territory, by prudent and wise legislation.

THE acquisition of the freighting busi- ness between the railroad and Globe is but 2 portion of the incentive ito the construction of the proposed road, for the route passes over one of the richest miner al sections of Arizona before reaching the Gila county line. The Mineral Creek district is completely ribbed with massive ledges of rich ore that must eventually support a mining camp of great magni- tude, and this too, in the very near future. The proposed road affords an outlet for this rich district, for it passes through its very center and touches many grand properties of which the public has heard but little, although quite extensive devel- opments have been made. The necessi- ty for the road is therefore made more manifest for this reason, and it's construc- tion must Do pushed to an early oomple- ton at all hazards.

THE EARTH RENT.
Gas and Flames Burst Through
With Tremendous Force.
Spontaneous Action OF Natural Gas At
tributed as the Cause.

Excitement prevails, in the neighbor-
hood OF Waldron, Ind, and vicinity, over.
a wonderful phenomenon presented to
their gaze Monday morning at
about Q o'clock. Three miles
south Of Waldron, near the Hal
leck Van Pelt farm, about ten miles
southeast of Shelbyville, and at point
where Conn creek enters Flatrock river,
the stream makes a horseshoe bend.
On this strip of land lying
between the streams is the
scene Of the wonder. About o'clock
Mr.. j. II. Lowe, who lives near by,
heard terrific explosion, and on going
toward the Ogden graveyard which is
on the bluff on the river bank, he was
confronted. by blaze Of fire extending
into the air to the height Of two hum
dred feet The neck of ground lying
within the bend between the streams
was torn up and great holes were made
in the surface to the depth Of fifty feet,
while hundreds Of gushing flames were
scattered over a space of about ten acres.
A straw-stack near by was soon in flames
and the green corn in the adjoining
field was literally roasted. The bed
Of Flat Rock river was upheaved and
numerous miniature geysers were throw.
ing mud and water to the height of fif-
teen feet. This, together with tho
great roaring Of the escaping gas, con-
tributed to the grandeur of the scene.
Large stones were thrown full half
mile away and terror reigned through
out the neighborhood. Great rents in
the earth along the bluff showed
with what terrific force the
ground was shaken up. The county
road, running alongside the river has
sunken several feet, and the roaring,
rumbling noises which constantly pro-
ceed from beneath the earth for an
eighth Of mile up and down the river
indicate that the force is still at worl,
and the end is not yet The upheaval
of stone in the river and the assures OF
the same have stopped the flow of the
river and the waters are now
pitching down into the bowels Of
the earth. The geysers are still
throwing mud, water and gas into the
air, and the scene is the topic of the
young philosophers. Some say that il
is a spontaneous explosion of natural
gas Of vein which is thought to follow
the course Of the stream, while Others
ssy that it is attributed to volcanic
causes At this time it has the appear
ance Of young Vesuvius. Great ex
citement prevails throughout the coun
try. n.
