DooToR GUTHRIE, the eminent Presbyterian divine, is credited with this statement: 'I counted in Paris thirty-three theatres and places of amusement, open on the Sabbath day, but in one hour 1 saw in Edinburg, with all her schools, churches and piety. more drunken ness than I saw in Paris in five months." This shows that Sunday laws are practically worthless as a temperance measure; if people are in the habit of drinking, and have opportunity to get liquor six days in the week, it is useless to attempt to keep it from them on Sunday.

A BILL is pending in the English parliament to restrict the importa- ton of live cattle from America. It is claimed that cattle are sub jected to great suffering by ocean transportation, and the object of the measure is to correct this evil, If it becomes a law it will help rather than injure the western cattle trade. The live cattle which are shipped to Europe are almost exclusively from the eastern states, and if their exportation is prohibit ed it will enlarge the market for dressed beef, which is furnished largely by the west.

RAILROAD TALK.

We clip the following from the Buckeye Blade, and think it de- serves a few scattering remarks, to dissipate an impression which is as erroneous as it is unjust, and which, it is charitable to assume, was the outcome of thoughtless youth, rather than malice:
 'Major Riordan, of tine Mineral Belt railroad, writes that he will have his road into Phoenix before the snow flies in that city. If memory serves us right, this Is about the the time of year the major usually makes this annual statement, and as we have no records of SHOW flying in Phoenix since he first made the assertion, we cannot say he Is an untruthful man, as he may yet fulfill his promise. When he gets his road to Phoenix there will be no snow to prevent him running it down this way, and when he gets it here we will extend to him "caede mille faelthe," for we know how to treat railroad men in Buckeye"
 Major Riordan objects to being called ''of the Mineral Belt" His connection is with the Central Ari- zona Railway. He objects, also, to the distorted statements that are going the rounds as to to what he said. What he did say is as fol lows:

FLAGSTAFF, ARIz July r, 1890.
HON LEWIS WoLELEY,
 GoE. A1rs0Ha, Ph0enix:


 DEAR SIR Relative to the Central Arizona Railway, there has been no construction work carried on, as you know, for the past two years. We have been dili- gently surveying and reconnoitering, however, and the negotiations for the building of the read to Phoenix have been carried on without inter- mission. While we are not "throw- ing dirt" am very hopeful that the means will be forthcoming and work commenced before the snows set in. We shall not rest until our track is in Phoenix.
 There are many persons who, if they had the assurance I have. would perhaps talk more extrava gantlY about what was going to be done, and where, and how, etc.; but knowing how many unforeseen con tingencies could arise, even after the positive promises have been secured, l do not wish to say more now, than that I am very hopeful, and, 1 think, justifably so.
 Major RioIdan has kept at work quietly and without buster, in faithful endeavor to bring about the resumption of construction work on the road. He has spent his time aud talents ungrudgingly in this en- deavor, for years, and is now in the field engaged still in his chosen eff fort. He has asked no odds or aid from any one except those who were amply able to give it; and the ill., natured filings or sneers of those who would be directly benefited if he succeeds are, to say the least, in ex- ceedingly bad taste. He haS cer- tainL Paid Als OzOA exbenses MHstar in his e6o,t, and seems to do so un- til he gets the road going or finds out he can't.
 We think the Blade would be in more harmony with the needs of our Territory if it bottled up its vials of sarcasm, and uttered word of hope or encourageme 1t to the workers who have the energy and patience to devote themselves to a task so obviously for the general good, and which at times has seemed all but hopeless, as we know. It might even help a little by collating information and publishing articles setting forth the resources of our own Territory, which would be manifestly developed by an increase of transportation facilities, as tIe result of the labors of just such men as Major Riordan.
 He las spen5 year continuously in Chicago and New York, to cur certain know dodge, engaged in the thankless task of trying to interest capital in Arizona, and has had to let go of his immediate business here almost entirely in order to do so. He has just returnel from a flying trip to San Francisco, whither he was called in connection with this same matter, and is now of down the line of the road with d party, reconnoitering.
 We think such facts as these would warrant his being allowed to pursue his aim in silence, if no word of commeudation could be found or uttered.
