A STEP FORWARD.
Mexico About to Enact New Mining
Law.

Mexico About to Enact New Mining
Law.
CRY OF MEXICO, April 27.-The new
mining law, promised in the presidents
message, is finished and will be pre-
sented to the chamber at once. The
law enables the consolidation OF mining
property and levels it to the position of
ordinary real estate. the only restriction
being the payment of an annual tax or
dues.
The announcement mine system now
used to obtain for miners the right of
encroachment, which, according to the
old Spanish law, allowed mine owners,
when following a vein, to cross and even
work strange property, is abolished.
The law, also, in place OF restricting
the formation of mining companies,
provides for the free working of mines,
and mortgaging them if need be. In
fact it meets all that tends to facilitate
the investing of capital, granting all
kinds of securities, and simplifying the
formalities necessary to secure posses
sion of and to work the mines.
Track laying on the Southern railway
is proceeding rapidly. The rails for the
Interoceanic railway have arrived, and
track laying on the extension from
Matamoras towards the Pacific has com.
menced.
A mining exchange is to be estab-
lished.

CHRIS MAGEE, the real Republican
boss of Pennsylvania, and who is surely
destined TO push Matthew Stanley Quay
from his stool, has recently had an in
terview with Blaine, and if there were
any further need of that gentleman's
definition of his position it is found in
this chat with Magee. He told the
Pittsburger that if the nomination were
offered to him on silver salver, with
the certainty of an election, he would
not accent it. He disclaimed b.::Ag a
hybocLoadgiac, buut SAID he was in his
k;xty.third year, and was sure that four
years of the presidency would kill HIM.
He has said this, in substance, before,
but the present and conclusive outgiving
is easily two months later than the first.
Magee sought the interview because
both he and Quay, and all other Penn
sylvania Republicans desired to give the
Plumed Knight the vote of the Key
stone state in the Minneapolis conven-
tion, if he would accept it.

Mr.. La Rue, he seems to be a
floating sort of person, and
has no special qualifications for the
post which he is. seeking. Those OF
Major Truman, on the other hand, are
OF the superlative order. Southern
California would be specially well repre-
sented by the major, and our people
should see to it that our claims are not
overlooked. Direct orr General Davis is
said to be very we'll inclined towards
our townsman, and means ought to be
taken to confirm and increase this par
tiality, founded upon an appreciation OF
Truman's fitness for the place. South
ern California ought to move en- masse in
his support. He has already done this
section much good, and could, and
would be of incalculable service as head
of the viticultural bureau.

A WANrON PROSECUTION.

The proprietors of this paper came
yesterday successfully out OF prosecu-
ton instituted against them by the
postal authorities upon grounds so in
adequate and fimsy that the judge of
the United States district court, after
hearing the testimony for the govern
ment, instructed the jury to return a
verdict of acauittal.
Whilst the HERALD believes that all
that class of federal legislation which
interferes with legitimate business, and
brings honest citizens under federal re-
sponsibility, are an invasion OF the con-
stitutional rights of the sovereign states,
it has nevertheless always loyalty en-
deavored to conform to the mandates of
the law, however annoying or oppres-
sive. In common with all the leading
papers of California, we have given
place to lists of drawn lotteries as ad-
vertisements. Congress, in one OF its
paternal fits, passed an act prohibiting
papers containing these advertisements
to be sent through the United States
mails, and making its infraction mis-
demeanor. From the time that this
prohibition was enacted, we have
studiously refrained from its violation.
The postal department, however, for
reasons best known to itself, trumped
up charge against US, and got grand
jury sufficiently stupid or prejudiced, or
both, to find an indictment against us
on testimony SO transparently gauzy
that the United States court refused to
put US on our defense when it came to
trial.
Our case and its result show the mis-
chief Of this kind of legislation. The
super-ohicious servants of the govern
ment assume that they can best show
their devotion to duty by digging up
Fictitious violations of the law, and in
their over-zeal and pretentious smartness
put law.abiding citizens, pursuing their
legitimate business, to the annoy
ance and expense OF defending a
baseless and perhaps malicious or parti'
san prosecution. They were possibly in
this instance in the position of the Lord
High Executioner in Gilbert and Sulli-
vans operetta. AS nobody had been
beheaded from the time of his appoint
ment, it was necessary that an eXecu'
tion should take place, or the Mikado
would charge him with neglect of duty.
Penal statutes that place the ordi-
nary affairs of citizens under the care
and scrutiny OF every petty public
functionary in the government employ,
are calculated to breed class of people
who, from long practice and wobbled
ideas OF individual rights, may become
a very obnoxious, Objectionable and
offensive element in the community.

THE fact that Senator Teller heads the
delegation from Colorado BODIES no good
to Harrison. If the power of the Cen
tennial state were only equal to her will
there would be no more occasion
for the executive services of the
inheritor of his grandfather's hat.
And still Colorado may yet play great
part in the election OF the next presi-
dent. If the infant commonwealth,
which was admitted by the Democrats,
had not ungratefully voted for Hayes,
the Republicans would have been
obliged to steal another state in addi-
ton to South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana, to count Tilden out. 1t
would be something sensational if the
small electoral vote of Colorado should
turn the tables and elect Democratic
president this year.

New YORK city has at length made a
start to carry out her promise to place a
fitting monument over the remains of
General Grant. After seven years of
inaction it has got to the point of lay
ing the corner stone for commemor-
ative structure. ''Better late than
never" is not a very high order of motto,
but We might as we'll accept it in this
case. The great and opulent city OF New
York has not shone forth handsomely
during these years OF indifference to q
duty which it had voluntarily assumed !;
and we must now hope that she will try
to make up for her shabby conduct in
the past by finishing the work she
initiated yesterday.

matter OF the appeal of property owners
against the assessment of the street

was argued, Charles Gray OF this city
appearing for the petitioners and w. G.

night late for robbing man named
kinnegan of watch and $6 in money.
They were held by Justice Merchant in
the sum OF $1,000 each to answer, and
are now in jail. Kinnegan was horribly
beaten up. Castell attempted d to escape
from Officer Moesser on being arrested,
and the latter fred several shots at
him, which had its effect of stopping
him.
James McHanney, aged 30, was ar

SWEET and bitter are the uses OF ad-
versity. The unexpected issue of the
Republican county convention has
turned the attention OF the editorial
writers on the Times to baseball and
other dscursive topics. Still weather
eye is kept on the vote of that fatal day,
and between that recorded for Captain
Osborne at the polls in the Third ward
and that registered for Colonel Otis in
the convention we may expect to see a
great deal of unique figuring. 1t is to
be hoped that this interesting subject
may not suffer from neglect. The1e is

THE HERALD was represented IN the
United States district court yesterday
by Col. A. B. Hotchkiss and Jay E.
Hunter, Esq, who had prepared the
defense on lines which would have re-
suited in triumphant acquittal of the
publishers of this journal on the charge
of having violated the law OF congress
by sending an advertisement of the
Juarez lottery through the mails. The
unexpected collapse OF the prosecution,
whose case broke down from its own in
herent weakness--a weakness which
United States District Attorney Allen
conceded and Judge Ross emphasized
prevented a brilliant forensic effort
which would have resulted in a display
of both eloquence and erudition. Early
in the progress of the case they had
prepared demurrer whose force was
shaken by a decision of the supreme
court OF the United States. We be-
lieved then, and we believe now, that
that demurrer was sound, and was
drawn with cousummate ability, but of
course Judge Ross was obliged to respect
the mandate OF his judicial superiors
and overrue it. Col. Hotchkiss has
been known to the bar OF Southern Cali
fornia for nearly twenty years. His
versatility and legal resources are uni
vorsally recognized. Mr.. Hunter is a
recent acquisition to our bar from the
state of Texas, and he will undoubtedly
make his mark before our courts, pos.
sessing, as he does, both learning and
ability

fined to the making of q Topographic map
of the state, and this when completed, will
be the basis of the geological survey. The
work began SIX years ago, and only three
fourths of the state Is now surveyed, 50 that
it will probably take two years to complete
the work. It will be an expensive map, too,
for by the time it is finished its cost to the
government will be fully $500 loo. The map
will give the location and height of every
hill, the location of every valley, all streams
and MYERS, the principal roads and railroads,
cities, villages, political boundaries etc.
Major Powell, director OF the survey, said !:
'The work of making topographic map is
well along; this map, which is so far along
that We will probably be able to make start
on the geological survey next year, Is the
basis for all our operations. Kansas Is In
great need of a geological survey. We will
be able to discover the extent of the coal,
lead and zinc mines, and the extent of the
salt deposits of that state; the value of the
clays for brick, potteries, etc. The outcome
of the geological survey will be q report on
the mineral resources of Kansas, q report on
the geological structure of the state and q
large geological atlas. Having completed
the topographic map of Kansas, we will be
able to make q more systematic investiga-
ton of the irrigation problem of that region
than could be otherwise made. We will
know how best to utilize the waters of the
streams of Kansas, and how to store the
storm waters in reservoirs throughout the
something as to the extent and accessibility
of the underground waters of western Kan
sas. So you see there Is a great deal in this
geological survey for Kansas, and we will
push the work in that section with all the
rapidity possible"

The Governor Holding the Lines.
TOPEKA, January "a dispatch was re-
ceived at the governors Office from Adjutant
General Roberts, at Arkalon. It states that
one-half the troops had been sent to Spring
field in charge of Colonel Ricksecker, and
that he would remain Mt Arkalon with
the balance. 1t also stated that he was hold
ing four prisoners at the request of Judge
Botkin, and that he did not anticipate any
trouble while the militia remained.
Governor Humphrey sent the following TO
ply:
Colonel j. N. Roberts. Arkaloa. Kan;
You are only to hold prisoners until war
rants can be issued and served upon them.
There should be no unreasonable delay in
this. Judge Botkin has no authority to or
der you to do this or that.
If the sheriff, armed with the warrants, is
resisted, or if he has good grounds to fear
dangerous resistance, then you will aid and
protect him in the discharge of his duty.
The prisoners must be protected from vio-
lence from whatever source.

CRAwFoRDsvnIR, IND., January 1s.-Thc
north bound Monon train ran off the track at
Nicholson crossing. The accident occurred
on fifty feet embankment, down which four
cars rolled. The trouble is supposed to be
due to broken rail.
The first passenger coach rolled over three
times. 1t was full of passengers and caught
tire from the stove, but all the occupants es-
capped alive.
The ladies' coach was literally torn to
pieces, as was also the parlor car. Here was
the greatest damage. There was hardly a
passenger on the train who escaped injury.
Help was soon at hand, and in a few mo-
monts the read was full of men on their way
to town.
There were three theatrical troupes on
board, one of which, The City Club" a
buriesQue company, was completely broken
up, nearly every member sustaining serious
injuries.

Must Apologize or Fight.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January ia naval
officer of long experience and great promi-
nence said: ''The public should DO acquainted
with the real gravity of the controversy with
Chill. This investigation at San Francisco is
developing some startling facts and it will be
well for US to appreciate the situation thor

conclusively, to my mind, that the assault on
the sailors was prearranged AFFAIR, and that
the inquiry into tho case at Valparaiso was .
moro farce. The inquiry, it Is said, devel-
opcd the fact that the not occurred between
the hours of and in the afternoon, and it
was alleged that the American sailors were
drunk. Now l happen to know. al a matter
of long experience, that sailors do not get
drunk so early in tho day. The more hear

ton. the more thoroughly convinced ! am
that tbs assault was premeditated and that it
was intended "a an insult to this government"
It was ascertained beyond the possibility of
doubt that the navy department. has, since
the receipt of the first news of the San Fran
cisco inquiry, redoublsd its preparations for
trouble.
