Fastest Train in the World.

How many people are aware that
the fastest scheduled train in the world
runs between Washington and Jersey
City every day? The train is the
Baltimore and Ohio, New York and
Washington limited, and it uses the
tracks of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey and Philadelphia and Reading
between Jersey City and Philadelphia.
The latter roads furnish the locomo-
tives on this part of the line.
Notwithstanding the stories about
trains running 90 miles an hour in
England, nothing of the kind is pro-
vided in the time tables of the London
and Northwestern and Great Northern,
which admittedly have the fastest
scheduled trains in the kingdom. The
fastest train on the Northwestern is
the celebrated Scotch express, which
makes the run of 400 miles from Lon
don to Edinburgh in s 1-2 hours This
is at rate of 51.6 miles an hour, al
lowing for stops. The Royal Blue
line trains make the run of 226 miles
| s>skasss sMs.s and Washington
in hours, which is at an average
speed of 51.9 miles an hour, with cor
responding allowances for stops.
The Scotch express does better than
51.6 miles an hour between certain
stations. Its best run is the IS Ia
miles from Rugby to Crewe in 85
minutes, an average of So miles an
hour. But the Royal Blue line also
makes some smart runs. On the Bal
timore and Ohio road, between Balti-
more and Washington. it averages so
miles an hour for the greater part Of
the 40 miles, while the Reading and
Jersey Central engineers, in places,
rush along at rs to so miles an hour,
and do it every day. 1t is said that
the Great Northern has lately added a
still faster train than the Scotch ex-
press of the London and North
western. 1t averages 81 miles ea
hour, but only for distance of los
IA miles. II New York Sun.

make her look at him, but waited in
a passionate silence that somehow
made itself felt in the quiet spring

her six little stones one on the other,

turned and looked at him and smiled,

"Arabian Nights, Composite Work.

"The Arabian Nights" is not the
work of any one person. Originally
the tales were related by the story
tellers of Arabia. They were after
wards committed to writing by one
or more persons and finally were col
lected in the form in which they are
now found. The best English trans
lation is by Col. Lane, who was the
best Arabic and Syriac scholar of his
day, and on the recommendation of
the prime minister of England he re-
ceived a pension from Queen Victoria
"a recognition of his services. He
was the author of the best Arabic
dictionary for Europeans, and his
version of "The Arabian Nights" has
been stranslated into almost every
European language - [Detroit Free

1t is not strange at all that the big

its ponderous strength in Pennsylvania.
"The President" as it is called, is
constantly at work pumping water

is that of 5000 horses. or as it is COM

Beyond the Stars.

Beyond the stars, beyond our sight,
Above those silent worlds Of light,
There is so much for which we care;
our best and deepest love Is there,
In that vast realm that knows no night.
Cold Il firing orbs Of radiance bright,
Look down in pity from your height,
And tell us Of that land so fair,
Beyond the stars.
Death knows not mercy in his might;
His hand Earth's faircst boom doth blight
But still we trust and kneel in prayer;
There is no SHINING, no despair,
But perfect safety-all is right,
Beyond the stars.

they should not give up the offices to which their term of office had legally expired, Every movement to oust them was fought with < a bitterness worthy of just cause, instead of an unlawful one, but at last they had to obey the law and give way. Naturally enough such men felt bitter to- wards those who succeeded them and, aided by few so-called Re- puhlicans, have continued to carry on the most bitter and yenomous warfare eyer witnessed in politics. The fact is the Republican party of Arizona owes a debt of gratitude to the present officials for their stand in these cases, for 1t is due to their persistent legal work that the Republican party has any standing in the Territory today. Such men as Attorney-General Churchill, Auditor Hughes, of Tucson, and others, deserve retention in office at the hands of their party. It was not until long after they should have come into. possession of the offices that they did get them, and nov, when they can be of most service to the Territory, their term has expired. TnE REPUBLICAN does not know that any of these gentlemen care 10 be retained in the offices they hold, but if they do surely their wishes should have great weight with the appointing power.

RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION,
Tnr decision ot the Supreme Court in

HE GeclelOn or tLle supreme SOuTt hl the case of J. II. Behan, for salary, seems to be in direct conflict with the decision of the same court in Mir. Cheyney's case. In fact, the Behan case has far less to favor it than has the Cheyney case. The court decides that Mir. Behan was never legally appointed, but especially states that he held the office at his own risk and that the salary was granted because of good faith on Behan's part. The Governor of the Territory, in whom the appointment legally vested, had notified MT. Behan that he was no longer Superintendent of the Prison and that his pay stopped from that date and that his legal successor had been appointed. Up to this date Mir. Behan had been paid: How, after this official notice, tife court could find that Mr. Behan acted in good faith, is one of the curiosities of law, that is far too deep to be understood by the lay mans mind. Mir. Ingalls, had been recognized us the legal officer by the official authorized by law to appoint. The proper legal authority had notified Mir. Behan that he was no longer Super intendent and thst he would not be paid. And yet the Supreme Court says that BehSh acted in good faith, when as a matter of fact it is of official record, and the record was before the court, that from the time his salary was refused Behan had been holding by force and against the direct and official notice of the Governor, with whom the court de- cides, lay the power to appoint. To award a salary to one who is acting in violation of law, simply because he per formed certain duties, would seem to be unjust to law-abiding citizens, and will certainty tend to weaken the hands of the officers whose duty it is to enforce the law

IT seems now to be fully appreciated " by the members of the Legislature that their action in approving and legalixing the compromise with the Atlantic and
 Pacific railroad made by the Boards of Supervisors of Apache, Yavapai and Mohave counties was, to say the least, nasty. Many of them begin to appre- ciate that it is giving premium for the obstruction of law, and that 1t is unfair to other railroads and big corporations, who have heretofore promptly paid their taxes. It had been represented to many of them that the Atlantic and Pacific railroad had done it's. best to bring to trial the Apache county cases in the United States Supreme Court, and they are now amazed to learn that the Atlan- tic and Pacific had of their own motion dismissed these cases from the Supreme Court. For the compromises made with the Boards of Supervisors, before our Territorial Supreme Court declared them to be illegal, there might have been slight pretext for claim, but for the compromise made with the Apache Board there cannot be the slightest pre- text even if it was not contempt of the Territorial Supreme Court, which had the question under advisement, il they had not already published their decision adverse to the authority of the Super visors to act. By the dismissal of the case in the United States Supreme Court the judgment in the Apache county cases became final and it only remains for them to take out an execution to collect their money. Then why should the Legislature make this donation to the Atlantic and Pacific, who own more property in this Territory than any other corporation in it and yet pay less taxes in proportion than any other one. If this act becomes law the Atlantic and Pacific will of course continue to refuse to pay taxes in the future as they always have in the past, and now that they have dismissed the case from the United States Supreme Court, it will be years before there can be any prospect of de- cIsion that would be final. Suppose all the other large corporations, seeing the success of the Atlantic and Pacific, should conclude to take the same course 1t would almost bankrupt the Territory, and yet why should they not doso2 By the dismissal of the case by the United States Supreme Court the Atlantic and Pacific confess judgment, anG plainly show that they dare not let their claims be tested by the court of last resort.
