VETOED A LAND SUIT BILL

The President Intimates That Congress
Wasn't Very Wide Awake.
WASHINGTON, Aug 4-The president in
his message vetoing the bill to provide for
the bringing of suits against the United
States talks very plainly, and tells that
body that it could not have realized what
it was doing when it passed the bill. He
objects TO the bill because there is no
necessity for it. The land office work is so
efficient and its policy.so friendly to the
settlers that all the cases which had &C
cumulated have been swept away, and
the office is now engaged on current bust
ness. The proposition therefor to trans
fer these cases to courts some of whose
dockets are overcrowded now does not
look to the executive like measure to
expedite settlement of these land cases.
Business of the Land ONCE.
The president says that the adj Indication
st land cases is function of the land Of
fee and the proceedings are informal and
inexpensive. But the bill proposes to
throw the cases into courts where the ex-
pense would necessarily be much greater
The bill is called an oversight" that would
burden the homesteader and pre-emptor
with the penalties and expenses incident
to ordinary court proceedings, and they
could be brought all the way to the capital
from far western points to defend their
claims. Generally the bill is too radical
and indefinite, he says.

In 1869 the national debt, amounting
to SO. 558. 452. 600. could have been paid
with 1, $50, 600, 600 bushels of wheat. In
1891 the original national indebtedness
having been reduced 81, 042, 456, 900, to
liouidate the remainder, 81, t45, 996, 600,
would require 1850, 600. 600 bushels of
wheat; or, in other words, the national
debt having been reduced to nearly
one-half it's original amount, it would,
today, require 800, 600. 600 bushels of
wheat, more to pay the remainder than
it would have taken twenty years ago
to pay the entire debt. And yet the

THE FARMERS SIDE,
"Whers we are, how we got here,
and the Way out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
o. 8. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.

There is a demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
snces surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
Scribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost Of labor, Of living, the prices
Of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking.
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In q clear, forcibIS
style, with abundan citations Of facts and hg-
ures, the author tells the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of T h Way Out,''
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions Of
0 WOASdSeSS Tal4foadBs TIE e1e q
crops, and other matters of vital consequences.
This book is the only one which attempts 70
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE farmers SIDE has just been issued,
and makes q handsome and substantial DOOR
Of $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
hshers for its sale to our readers at the pub
fishers price. The book may be obtained q
our office, or we viii forward copies TO any
address, postpaid, on receipt of $l.oO per copy.

THE Postmaster General has re- ceived a petition from the Ameri- cans living in Bulgaria and Euro pean Turkey asking that steps may be taken to establish a Parcels Post with Europe, including the coun- tries above named, as the express charges between the two countries frequently exceed the cost of the articles shipped. It is thought that such post would also be largely used by visitors to the Columbian Exposition from abroad if estab- lished and in good working order by that time.

TIE following from the Prescott Courier may be the means of pre- serving a large portion of Arizona as a grazing country, The tap-root of alfalfa has been known to go thirteen feet to moisture. There are a great many small valleys and draws in northern Arizona, in which every evidence tends to show suffi- cient moisture nearer the surface than thirteen feet, to produce a fair yield of alfalfa. Some of our farmers or stock-raisers should try some favorable locality, by scatter ing half bushel of seed, and note the result. The Courier says: Ed Kirkland, who was in from Kirk land Valley a few days ago, reports finding in that section punches of alfalfa growing on the dry prairie, far from any cultivated land, or water, coming up, doubtless, from seeds blown by the wind. The heat and dry weather had leveled with the ground all native grasses and weeds, but the wild punches of al- falfa were green and thrifty. There is certainly a pointer in this. If the open ranges could be covered with alfalfa, the roots of which will go to the water, at great depth, and which is much more hardy than any native grass, such destructive cattle famines as the ore of the past sea-
 son could not occur in this section.

Persons who suffer from Rheumatism want immediate relief. It is not enough that the pam should be eased, and the appetite be increased. Anything short of a cure is only prolonging torture. The poisonous acids in the blood, which IS the direct cause of Rheumatism are inn mediately and efectually expelled by Dr. Drummond's Lightning Remedy. Where it fails to perform cure, the price is refunded. If the druggist cannot fur nish it the remedy will be sent prepaid to any address on receipt of price, five dollars.

The Ash Fork Railroad.

Major G, W. Vaughn, chief en- gineer of the $. F., P. & P. railway returned last night from his visit to Phenix, coming via Albuquerque and Ash Fork, and from the latter point coming in over the line of the road. He says that work is pro- gressing satisfactorily on the grade. It will require about six weeks yet to complete the rock work where the force is at work at present. The first mile of grade in Chino valley has been completed and the sub- contractor has moved camp stlll farther up the valley, Sub-con- trator Morse, who has the largest force of men and teams at work on dirt work, has moved camp down nearer Chino valley, where he has taken three mile contract. When asked as to the total amount of grade that has been completed, Maj. Vaughn replied that if it, were all together there would be about forty miles. Of this seventeen miles are graded out from Phenix and from twenty-three to twenty-five miles between Prescott and Ash Fork.
 Material for bridges has com menced to arrive at Ash Fork, there being now large quantity of it on the ground there and men to con struct the bridges have also arrived, and work on these structures will soon be commenced.-Journal- Miner.

Speaking of the tick ct he said We will support Cleve- land just as heartily as we would have supported Hill. We are Dem ocrats and when we are for a man we are for hlm. Why should any one doubt our loyalty to the ticket?'
 "The nomination of Stevenson pleases us. We favor him because he5is a good Democrat.

It is the custom of the Navajo Indians in the summer, to range their focks of sheep on the public domain outside their reservation. The custom leads to more or less trouble with the white settlers who are living near the reservation. The Indians assume the right to all the range and water, and it is this con- dition of affairs that causes trouble which sometimes, leads to open warfare between settlers and h. dians.
 The Navajoes have for some weeks past been ranging in the neighbor- hood of Lot Smiths place, near Tuba City, and have been using water and range freely. Monday, Smith, in order to frighten the In dians away, commenced to kill their sheep killing some six or seven of them They immediately retaliated by killing his cattle. This incensed Smith and he opened fire on them, firing a number of shots without effect. The Indians did not at first realize that they were being shot at soon opened fire on Smith, and he received a bullet in his back, the ball going through and coming out near the right breast. After receiving his wound Smith rode to his house a half mile from the scene of the shooting.
 Only six Indians were concerned in the afray, although about two hundred of them were near at hand and many of them witnessed the shooting. Several white men were also witnesses. The affair occurred Monday afternoon and young Lee, who brought the report, left Tuba that night and reached this place Wednesday noon, ,and it was thought that Smith could not live but few hours,
 After the shooting the Indians commenced skinnlng the sheep and cattle killed as if nothing unusual had happened, and were preparing for grand feast when the messen- ger left.-Coconino Sun.
