 jingo statesman
 The United States supreme court decided in favor of Boyd, democrat, in the Nebraska governor case, and has decided that the anti-lottery act is constitutional.
 Mir. Mills, of Texas, declines to accept the chairmanship of any committee that may be rendered him by Speaker Crisp. The free trade apostle has his ''back upe evi- dently.
 Democrats who proclaimed so loudly about tariff and free coinage of silver now seem to be afraid of l both measures. The fact seems to have dawned on their minds that both these propositions are loaded and they do not know how to fire them or how to withdraw the charge.
 Garza denies that he is bandit, but says that he pays for everything he uses. and is we'll supplied with the sinews of war. He adds that he has over a thousand followers and adherents on this side of the river, and all the people as we'll as half the army on that side, with him. Since we have learned that Senor Gsrza is engaged in the newspaper business in Mexico, we can sympa- thize with him and can readily un- derstand why he has attempted to start . revolution, particularly If his patrons are like some on this side of the line.
 In the local columns to-day will be found list of patents received at the Prescott land office. It is worthy of note as an illustration of the promptness with which the work of the general land office is being per formed under the present admins traitor. that the final certificate was issued to James W. Thurber, the last . named in the list, on September l6, 1891. His final proof was forwarded to the general land office October 3d with the monthly returns from the local office and could not have reached there before the 9th of that month. As the patent is dated Jan uary II, 1892, only three months elapsed between the receipt of final proof and issuance of patent. This is iu pleasing contrast to settlers and claimants of land to the dilatory methods in vogue under President Cleyeland's administration when it required as many years to obtain a patent after final proof was made. It seems that the war which has been waged necessarily for several years against the Minneapolis Build ing and Loan Association is still on, as will be seen from a telegram be- low. The institution has several members in Prescott. The tele- gram, which is dated at St. Paul, says that the State bank examiner has reported to the Governor rec ommending that the affairs of the 7 American Building and Loan Asso- citation of Minneapolis be wound up. The American" is one of the largest building associations in the country, having assets alleged to reach Sl1,OO0,OO0, and it's patrons are located in ever State of the Un- . ion. The examiners report is to the effect that the real estate of the association is held at fictitious val ues. The report also says that e1- tensive loans were made in the State Washington recently, which loans are, with the accumulated interest, ia excess of the assessed valuation of he property.
 Our contemporary, very justly, condemns the action of English pa PTS in their attacks on President ;; .rrison in connection with the l' ;ile affair. There are, however, i lite a sprinkling of democratic pa
 .srs in the United States which are II the same category but which lave been inconsistent in the mat
 ar. English papers have been con- sistent as we'll as persistent in their friendship for Chile. The Ameri- can democratic papers have criti- cised the administration for its in- action, and when decided action was taken they immediately Topped and commenced violent attack on the administration for taking decided stand looking towards maintaining :. our national honor. It is a signif- e can't fact that should be apparent to :: every intelligent voter in this coun- F try that the democracy of this coun- . try has been drawing its inspiration ,: largely from the English press for several years. This has been nota-
 bly the case on the subject of free
 trade, while in this Chile matter . many of them have fallen into line also.
