Relief of the U. 5. supreme court

By the new law for the relief of the Supreme Court, court of appeals will be created in each of the nine judicial circuits into which the United States is divided. Each of these appellate courts is to consist of three judges-two of the existing Federal judges and one to be appointed by the President. That gives to Mir. Harrison the appointment of nine new judges. In a specified class of cases the decision of the new appel late court is to be final. Such cases will not, therefore, be appealable to Washington. That will materially les sen the number of appeals to the United States Supreme Court. It is intended and believed that the reduction will prove ample to enable that tribunal to work off its present docket, and there after to dispose promptly of all cases appealed to it. This will be a great relief to the country as well as the Court. Hence the enactment of the bill is matter for National congratu- ton. That speedy justice guaranteed to all by the Constitution will be no longer denied by the highest judicial tribunal of the land Judgments of this tribunal are often of paramount National importance. Their announce ment is awaited with the keenest pub lie interest What boon it will be when that announcement. may be ex- pected in sixty days, instead of three years from the time of appeall The bar and the bench of the country and the people generally have good reasons to rejoice over the success of this meas ure. Its enactment IS Highly creditabie to n Congress which has so much to it's discredit N. Y. Herald,

From Clifton.

 This morning the first train that has left Clifton since the flood, went IS far as Guthrie. With Inc exception of the bridge over the Gila river at Guthrie, the railway is intact from Lordsbnrg to this place, but there is no locomotive on tbe southern end of the road; henee communications from the Sontbern Pacific to this place is by hand ear only
 The effort to procure narrow guage locomotive in Tucson having proved q failure. Master Mechanic Wallace has gone east for that purpose, and indica- tions gre that ID very short time traine will arrive and depart on schedule time, passengers and freight ferried over the Gila, mails received with regularity and distributed with promptness, the mar ket supplied with articles which have been entirely wanting or inconvenience ly scarce, and Clifton herself again.
 From the moment the waters sub sided until all was done that could be donn, tho railroad authorities used all the means in their power to restore their road to condition of utility.
 Hundreds of miners were called from the mines and placed at work repairing the road and lrany hundred thousand tons of rock have been blasted from the overhansing cliffs and placed on the road bed of the Arizona and New Mex co Railway.
 Ii is roughly estimated thut one hun dred thousand dollars would not com pensate the Arizona Copper Co. for their losses by the flood and the conse- quent delay in the manufacture of cop per. Temporary foot bridges are being erected across the Frisco and will soon supercede the ferry boats.

Mail subSid;es 10 s,eam,a.ps.

The Senate has done wisely in pass ing the shipping bill as it came from the House, and beginning the great policy of aid and protection to our steam marine without risking the pas sage of any bill in the endeavor to secure tonnage bounties. The Frye steamship bill, with its payments re- duced one third, from $6 mile to S4 for steamers of 20 knots; from s4 to S3.66 for steamers of l6 knots, and Sl .33 for those under this speed, gives for less aid than the circumstances de- mand But it Is step in the right direction, and 1t begins policy which, once commenced, will end by restoring our flag to the seas The initial ap- propriation proposed and passed yes terday to carry out the new system is only one-half larger than the subsidy now proposed by Csteda aud Great Britain on single line from British Columbia to Australia, it is not third of the sum spent by one European na- ton, and not fifth of the amount spent by another, but it will begin the work, and the offer of aid will stimulate the building of vessels to secure 1t. There are no vessels to-day in our mer- cantile marine equal to 20 knots an hour, and there are few, if any, whose continuous speed is over 16 knots, but with the sea-mail pay now offered, it will be possible to build them. The vessels once afoat and the benefits of this new policy will be as clear as they ara in France, whose steam tonnage has risen since 1882 from 424, 1000 tons to 752, 900 tons in 1889, or in Italy, where like system has advanced its steam tonnage from 195.000 tons in 1885 to 2S4, 900 in 1888, while our own registered steam tonnage is to-day what it was in 1881, or l97, 900 tons.

Maricepa and Phoenix.

As there are many inquiries concern. ing the means and time required to gel to Phoenix from Maricopa, the follow ing information will be of value.
 There is no railroad crossing over the Gila or Salt rivers. The cars, which have been running between Tem- pc and the Gila river will, it is under stood, be discontinued Friday, which will require travellers to make the en- tire trip by stage or other vehicle. At present two vehicles leave Maricopa on the arrival of trains and run to the Gila river for S2. The passengers are then carried across the river in skin, price Sl each. From the Gila river to Tenn pc another coach takes the passengers at g each and from Tempe to Phoenix another stage takes the passengers. A cable ferry will be established over the Gila, which will make crossing much more rapid and safe than at present.
 A daily mail coach will be put on from Phoenix to Maricopa, which will connect with the regular trains east and west
 In crossing the Gila at present it is quite task. Two streams must be crossed, and the passenger is required to walk nearly 8 quarter of mile through the mud to reach the other stream.
 The Gila has changed its main chan nel quarter cf a mile from the rail road bridge, and the stream is about 1000 feet wide and is wearing ont the banks with great rapidity, and acre after acre of the valley is being washed away daily by the current, which is un- dermining the west bank of the Giln
 Tempe is enjoying quite boom on account of the stopping overof the pas senger travel from and to Phmnix. The entire Salt river bridge has been washed cut.
 The railroad has been abandoned for three months. The company has thrown mp its mail contracts, and nothing def inite will he done until the powerful stockholders can be heard from. So all who contemplate visit to Phoenix will have to take the trip from Marico. pa by stage or other vehicle. Star.

 The Florence Canal Company started out force of sixty-fye teams and as many men as could be secured, last Thursday, to repair the break near the head of the, canal. A number of set tiers along the canal had caused sur yey and estimate of the cost of repairs to be made with view to putting the canal in order themselves in case the Company declined to do it and it was found that the work could be done for less than four thousand dollars. After conference with the local manage ment ot the company it was decided that the break should at once be re- paired and teams and men were offered in sufficient number to complete the work in less than three weeks. This result will save the crops of the farm- CTS and place them in condition to real ize good season, agriculturally speak ing U Enterprise.

The fastest train in Great Britain is on the Great Northern Railway, which makes the run from Grantham to Don caster, 70! miles, in 56 minutes. The next fastest is on the London and North Western, which makes the run of 75s miles between Rugby and Crewe in s5 minutes. The latter time is equaled in this country, but the former is too rapid even for fast Americans, though special trains often attain such speed. = Railway Age.

During the last hours of the recent session of Congress bill was passed abolishing the pre-emption and timber culture laws and the various land offices have been instructed to receive no further entries under their provisions. No great amount of fraud is charged against the practical workings of these laws, but there exists q morbid tenden- cy among the Eastern members of Con- gress to monkey with the land laws whenever m opportunity offers. As it now stands land can be secured by set tiers only under the homestead and desert provisions. - Florence Enter urIs,,
