Gov. Waterman is reported to have bought the Cuyamaca Rail road. It runs from San Diego al- most due east to Fosters, 24 miles. It is to be extended to Salton on the 8. P. R. R., 95 miles, making the distance from Salton to San Diego 119 miles. It is 94 miles from here to Salton. This new line will make the distance from Yuma to S.n Diego 2l3 miles, as against 333 via Colton or 373 miles via Los Angeles and 300 miles via the Pen. insula railroad line. The grades on that portion of the Cuyamaca, already finished, in places are said to reach POO feet to the mile. This prevents any very heavy freight trains from passing ovsrit without the assistance of extra engines and helpers. At the same time, it opens q competing line with the Santa Fe line via Colton or Los Angeles, which does no injury to the country and while tho 8. P. R. R. will get . longer haul either via Colton or Los Angeles, still it cannot refuse tho business which the new line may take from, or give to it. We hope that Goy.t Waterman will fin- lsh bic road. He cannot do it any too promptly. ,.,

Cattle.

Tho shipments of fat cattle, daily passing through Yuma, are on the increase. The cattle are in most excellent condition, in fact we have never seen in any part of the coast, grass-fed beeves, SO large and so fat. Cattle buyers frankly admit that Arizona today is sending better beef to market than any other sec ton of the west. Our cattle men feel good over the prospects before them.
 In conversation with our live stock men we have failed to find any one who finds fault with the Mckinley Tariff Bill which has placed tax on the importation of Mexican cattle, of $10 per head. This protection given to the cattle men along the border, and in fact all through Southern Arizona. is a God send to them. This together, with the fact of the growing de- mand for our fat cattle for the Cali. fOrnia markets, will encourage them te improve their herds and produce a still better quality of beef. This should be done. We are glad to note the interest felt in this i'm portant industry and in bringing it u2 to e higher standard, Many of OFT stock raisess are making efforts to improve their stock.

TAX THE JUDGMENTS.

To the Editor of the Eagle:
When a man has grievance, it af-
fords him some relief and consolation to
give it publicity:
\ few years ago boy in my neighbor-
! hood was the owner of "a dog, which he
priced very highly; In an evil hour (for
/ the dog the dog catcher discovered that
the canine had not paid his taxes, and so
gathered him III. The boy has ever since
mourned the loss of his dog and will not
be comforted, but still insists that it was
mean trick to kill his dog. I agree
with the boy that it was mean thing to
do.
That boy saws he will forgiven if
the Legislator" will pass an act entitled.
IAN act relative to the taxation of judg-
ments and providing penalty for the
non-payment of taxes thereon. Let the
act then provide that all judgments for
money. in the Courts of record of this
state be taxed at their full face value
Make it the duty of the Courts Of rec
ord in the state to furnish list of such
judgments to the County clerks of their
respective counties, annually. Let the
act further provide: that as penalty for
the non-payment of taxes thereon. after
thirty DAYS notice, that the County
Treasurer be required to cancel and dis
charge, of record, all such judgments:
While it is true that under existing
laws a Judgment NAV be taxed, vet
there only about one out of every hun
dred which contributes anything to the
general fund, raised 10 defrav the ex-
penSe, of state, county and city govern
ment; when judgments are reported. By
the owners thereof. 10 the assessor.
which Is seldom, they generally insist
that they are worthless, and are not
listed.
Now, there are various objections that
can be raised TO such law. but upon the
whole It would be a Salutarv act IL
may he suggested that it would
have the effect of canceling thousands
of judgments, but they killed the BOYS
dog because he did not pay his taxes
and why not kill few thousand iudg-
ments; should it have the effect Of 50 op-
Grating, the act could be repealed after a
ngld enforcement of few years.
1t might meet with the further obiec-
ton that II would amount 20 a confiSca-
ton # such Judgments, but if the judg-
mentS are of value the owners thereof
can not reasonably object to paying the
taxes thereon: and. on the other hand. #
they are worthless. let them be Cancelled.
that the records Of the state may not be
encountered with them.
If the owner does not paw his taxes on
his home, it Is as TO him confscated bv
sale, even though it be homestead.
There can be no valid constitutional
objection to such a law.
Hoping that some ambitious member
of the legislature viii conclude TO help
the boy get satisfaction for the loss Of
his dog, l am yours truly,
T. E. WALL.

Gov. Fifer, of Illinois, has issued a
proclamation authorizing the city of Chi
cago to issue S5,000,0 900 bonds for the
Worlds Fair, the proposed amendment
to the Constitution having been adopted
by an overwhelming majority. The
ordinance adopted by the City Council
provides that bonds shall be issaed as
follows: Four million dollars in bonds
of 81 900 each, all to bear date of Jan. l,
1891, and to bear per cent. interest,
payable semi-annually. The bonds are
to run thirty years, and to each will be
attached sixty interest coupons. These
bonds, together with the interest, are to
be payable at The American Exchange
National Bank of New YORK City. They
have been signed by Mayor Cregier and
Comptroller Onahan. and as soon as
these facts are properly presented it is
expected that he will issue his proclama-
ton formally announcing the fair and
inviting the world to participate.

Senator Stanford is not the only states
man of today who has penchant for
fine horses. Senator Palmer has sixty
fine Percheron horses on his farm, near
Detroit where his twelve-thousand-doll
log cabin is located. He OWNS a great
deal of real estate in Detroit, and his
farm is only four miles from town. And
then there is Senator Hampton. who is
said to have a fondness next to a passion
for good blood in horse flesh. which fact
makes it seem queer that he should have
lost leg by riding, in fox chase, one
of Balaam's bruteS.

AND THEY WENT DOWN.

Hon. Z. F. Miller. the New York CAPT
talist, in a column and a quarter com
mum alton. appearing in the Medicine
Lodge Cresset, roasts the editor of the
EAGLE for supposed political heresy. AS
forthe words, there is not single east
ern interest but that is abundantly pro-
tected by the Mckinley BILL they were
the words of James G. Blaine. Mr..
Blaine is an eastern man, too, but he
don't seem to agree with Mr. Miller.
As for "hides," we admit that they
had been on the free list for number Of
years, but the Mckinley bill was claimed
1 TO be protective measure" a measure
which should protect American produc-
tions in way that would prove benefi-
/ cial to the country at large, and not to
mere sections. We cited hides
because they are a large interest. There

people of the west do not understand the
coinage question. We know that we
western people are very ignorant peo-
pie, but we know enough to know that
the people OF the east do understand the
coinage question. That's the trouble.
They understand too much about it for
the good of the west. They not only
know the most about it but have the
most of it,
But farther along:

have done more to defeat the Republican

Democrats in the country. and in secur-
ing that defeat they have destroyed that
confidence that is absolutely essential to
business prosperity, and plunged the ma

just emerging. A panic at the money

the evil effects of which viii. sooner or

combination, we protest that entirely too
much credit is given. Even conceding
that the position of the senator and that
of the EAGLE did lose five congressman
from Kansas, which nobody will
admit. who is responsible for
emptying the seats of almost the entire
Republican side of the house? Did
Plumb let the author of the Mckinley
bill, himself. down and out? Did the
EAGLE beat Joe Cannon of Illinois? Why
didn't this great and wise measure save
its author and some eighty other good
protection Republicans who within six
weeks after voting for the Mckinley
bill disappeared meath the depths of the
political tureen forever?
