That Inquisitive Boy.

Father-A national bank note, my boy,
is a note loaned by the people to the
banker. ''-
Boy-What do the people loan it to the
banker for?
Eather-To borrow it back, my child,
when they want to use it for money.
Boy-What do they want to loan it and
then borrow it book again for?
Father-I don't know, my child.
Boy--Does anybody know?
Father--I really never heard it explain
ed, but the banks loan it to the people
and take mortgage security.
Boy--What! Loan the people thing
that belongs to the people? mir
Father--So it seems, but never heard
it put that way before. Children haye
queer views, to be sure.
Boy Queer views, ia Their? Why, did
ever you borrow horse that belonged
to you?
Father-Certainly not, my son.
Boy--Father, what is a mortgage?
Father--A mortgage, my con, is a
claim or arrangement upon land, which
takes the product of the land each year
until the affair is cancelled.
Boy--Pa, have you a mortgage!
Father--Oh yes Oh yes! We all haye
mort gages-I ANA all the neighbours.
Boy-Why haye you all got mortgages?
Do you like them, Pa?
Father--No, my boy, we detest them;
but we must get money to work our land
with. You see gold is very valuable, and
so, consequently,it is coined into money,
and we must either borrow it or nation
al bank notes in order 10 work our land,
and that ia how we are compelled to
mortgage; and there, now, l hope you
will ask no more foolish questions.
Boy--But, pa, amt your land valua-
BILE?
Father--Yes, yes, more valuable than
gold.
Boy-Well, why don't you coin your
land and make them mortgage their gold
to you when they want to work gold?
Father--Tush Tush! my SON You

such deep questions.

A Hint.

The Supreme Court of Idaho hal decided in the case of Stevenson vs Moody that a legislature has no legal authority to pay employees in excess of the amount appropriated by con. gress. Judge Buck who delivered the opinion of the court shows that the legislature could not even by joint resolution appropriate public money for any such use. These are his words.
 From an inspection of the several sections of the United States statutes, and the decisions of the supreme court of the United States, it seems clear that the election of an assistant chief clerk of the council was not authorized by law; that the joint resolution of the legislative assembly, providing for the payment of such officers out of the territorial treasury was contrary to the laws of the United States, and void; and that the territorial comptroller (auditor) is not authorized by law to draw warrant upon the territorial treasurer for the payment of plaintiff as said assistant clerk"

Lots of EulM.

Late Saturday night Mexican was shot and probably fatally wounded at Fairbank by some unknown party Several Mexicans had been having a good time in Wilson Bros.' saloon un- til it came time to close, when the sa- loon was cleared. All hands went out into the street and almost immedi- ately fusilade commenced and one of the number fell with two bullet wounds in his body, one in the groin and one n the stomach. He was quickly spirited away by his compan- ions, and yesterday morning when the train left for the south he was put aboard with a ticket for Nogales, Son. ora. Sheriff Kelton went down as soon as notified, and is investigating the affair, with the probability of one or more parties being arrested on su;- picion.

A Joke OnTeyfs.

Assemblyman J. H. Tevis, of Co., chise county, is practical joker, but yesterday he was lifted clear out of his boots. Mir. Tevis, who is crony of Speaker Clark. asked the speaker to come with him and he would intro duce him to Governor Irwin to this Mir. Clark readily assented and down the stairs the two old democrats me- andered to meet the new governor. Mir. Tevis opened the door of the governors office and, meeting portly little man, he removed his hat and, with bow that would do honor to Governor Zulick, presented Speaker Clark to Governor Irwin.
 The "governor" looked confused. and to relieve his embarrassment the speaker asked him how he liked his newly acquired duties. "Well" an- swered the "governor" in a voice that bespoKe of an acquaintance with the Rhine, "I like my new duty, but l was going to ask the legislature to increase my salary as it makes my hands sore to clean those new spittoons, and that council chew heap of tobacco" Clark, looked at Tevis and Tevis looked at Clark. Tevis said, "oh h-l;" Clark, in a voice that was as soulless as Churchill's conscience replied, "Tevis. I have business with you, sir, up stairs, lets go and take drink" and away capered the two old Cochise represen. tatives to discuss what fine looking man Janitor Troops was, to be nothing but a janitor.-Phenix Gazette.

Wallapai Charlie this week delivered up to Sheriff Lake two guns which he had cOnfscated from his sons. He says they have no use for guns and he don't intend they shall have them. He also says that he does not like the sullen silence of Sherum and his ad- herents and thinks that it portends no good. He sent out messengers to in- form the ghost dancers of the issuance of rations Sunday, but on their re- turn they refused so tell anything that Sherum said or what he intends to do. Itis we'll known that the dirty old chief objects to tho Indians re. ceiving rations, as it makes them lazy and weakens his influence over them. Il Mohave Miner.

The Florence Enterprise has cor respondent at Phenix who pretends to have the inside track on the future happenings in the legislature. He writes to his paper as follows "In assembly matters Pima and Co., chise combined upon MT. Clark for speaker and there were seven votes for MT. Clark, five for MT. Parish and four for Mir. Fisher Subsequently Maricopa entered into the combination and gave MT. Clark eleven votes and Mr. Fisher five, with result that Pima Cochise and Maricopa stand linked to. gether with Mir. Parish as their leader Out of this there comes further de- velopment, to remove the territorial prison to Benson; use the unexpended $lO,000 appropriation to it's credit fol this purpose and to levy tax of one and one-half per cent for erecting the buildings Another scheme is also in cubating to create new county or the San Pedro with Bensol for tho county seat. Indeed there is an un- dercurrent of iniquity surging on witt a greater force at the capital than the placid surface of the legislative stream indicates, and if some pernicious legis lation does not creep through in dis guise it will not be for want of a deter ,pined effort upon the part of fev schemers."

w. E. Mcdaniel, operating the tun- mel on the Othello and Desdemona mines at Cooks Peak, has struck a cave, which is nothing more or less than an immense depository of lead carbonates. The point where he broke into the cave is 520 feet from the mouth of tho tunnel. He has made thorough exploration, by crawling over the entire body, the space be tween it and the roof being but about two feet. He finds that it is about 7j feet long and about ~25 feet wide around the edges where the ore body settled away from the wall, he Ina. measured down to the depth of thirt, feet.

The Drag Net Again.

If there ever was Department of Injustice it is the so-called Depart ment of Justice, with it's headquar- ters in Washington and hindquarters in Arizona.
 The last piece of downright dirty, drivelling devilment was committed during the past week by this bureau. It will be remembered that some time ago Dan Ross and the Copper Queen Company were arrested on informa- tion given by one of the special spies of the Government, and the superin- tendent of the Queen company, with Mir. Ross and about thirty witnesses, were taken to Tucson on charge of cutting timber on government land. At the same time a suit was com menced by the same pirate against the company and Ross for $9O,0OO dam ages. The criminal suit was tried first, and resulted as everybody knew it would result, in the prompt acquit- tai of the accused, although the prose- cution had secured the country for evidence to convict them. It was a complete farce, and the fiimsy pretext for their arrest was unfavorably com mented upon by all good cieizens. In any other court in the land the civil suit would have been dismissed after the criminal charge had been ignored, for if the parties were not guilty of breaking the laws of the United States regarding the timber act, the United States could not certainly re- cover damages for utilizing the tim Der. It was supposed by the defend ants that their acquittal virtually set tied the civil suit, and nothing was said or done about the case until deputy came here on Friday last and went to Ross mill and served papers on him to appear at the March term in Tucson, when the farce will be re- peated at cost to the government of between four and five thousand dol lars and an expense to the unjustly accused parties of about the same amount.

The biggest audience of the season greeted Gorton's New Orleans Min strels at Ming's last evening and for two hours and half enjoyed good fun. It is the best minstrel troupe seen in Helena in long time. While small in numbers compared with some mastodonic affairs it is made up of good comedians and clever musicians. The brass band is particularly good and the open air concert was we'll worth hearing. The programme con- sisted of the usual first part and sev- eral excellent features, the best oi which was the clog dancing. It was the best ever seen in Helena. The Turkish patrol, followed by the sex tette clog, made a picturesque and pleasing number. Harry Yorkey held up his end in great style. He made the audience laugh until its sides ached. Hank Goodman was as good as ever and the old-time team of Well by and Pearl sustained its reputation A pretty feature of the programme was Rudolph Schroeder's artistic clut swinging. The programme was fllet with new and bright features and wal rendered with proper spirit.-[ Helen, (Mont.) Daily Independent, Octobe | 2S 1890.
