lected by the proper authorities of the state in lieu thereof"
 A general demurrer was entered tp the plaintiffs till by Hon. w. II. Stewart, K. NJ. Doe and w. l.. Van Horn for the trustees. The demurrer was sustained in the district court. The plaintiffs action was based upon the theory that the land in controversy was excepted from the reservation for school purposes, under the provisions of sec. 2,275, United States revised statutes by reason of the settlement of McMlllan, ct al. and remained subject to pre-emption. That section, however, concusively refutes this view, it pro vides: "Where settlements, with a view to pre-emption have been made before the survey of the lands in the field, which are found to have bee n made on sections sixteen or thirty-siX those sections shall be subject to the pre-emption claim of such settler; and if they, or either of them, have been, or shall be reserved or pledged for the use of schools or colleges, in the state or territory in which the lands lie, other lands of like quantity are appropriated in lieul of such aS may be patented by pre.emptors and other lands are also appropriated to compensate de- ficiency for school purposes, where sec tions sixteen or thirty six are fractional in quantity, or where one or both are wanting by reason of the township be- ing fractional, or from any natural cause whatever" The word "snch" in the act, manIiestly refers to the settler upon the land prior to the survey, and the exception is by express terms linn ited to him and inures to his benefit only in case he follows his settlement up to patent. The territory is only permitted to select lieu lands, when the settlement of the original settler is fol- lowed up to patent, and only in that event is the land excepted from the reservation for school purposes. In this case it is expressly admitted that the persons alleged to have been living upon the land at the time of the sur vey with a view to pre-emption, aban- doned their intent to pre-empt, and not only did not follow np their settlement to patent, but sold their improvements to plaintiff and abandoned the land.
 Plaintiff didnot pretend to have set tied upon the land until some five years after the survey, which deter mined it's character as school land. Had McMllan ct al. followed their set tlement up to patent, and then con yeyed to plaintiff, the situation would have been materially changed.
 This is only one but perhaps the most important point in the case.
 There seems to be no doubt that the plaintiffs case is utterly without foun- dation yet the litigation is decidedly annoying to property owners holding lands in the disputed territory. MT. F.. M. Doe is in the city representing the interests of the defendants.

Against the Agile Real
 Estate Dealer,
Who Lays Hold of the
 Monied Stranger
And Sings Him a Song About
 Corner Lots.
Real Estate Men Charged With Oc' cupying the Manager When They
 Are Unable to Eat Hay.

Mining men are complaining bitterly of the course pursued by certain real estate agents whose rusJling procIiyities bring them into early communication with every stranger who lands in the city. The mining men say that among the thousands who have arrived in the city since last September there have been scores whose object in coming was to invest in mining property. They fell into the hands of the real estate men who tried to prepare them for corner lot purposes by informing them that the mines were no good. The prospective mine owners, however, were bent on mining investments and wanted nothing else they were not in search ofclimate, oranges or alfalfa, but wanted only silver, gold or copper.
 Wrought upon at last by the lugu- brious view of the mining situation presented by the real estate dealers, the would be investors went away with an uniavorable impression of the only feature of the territory which was of the least earthly interest to them.
 case of this sort was brought to light yesterday and gentleman who is extensively interested in mines visited several business houses tO ascertain If the mines tributary to PhPnix did not constitute an important element of the valleys prosperity. The information he received was monOtonous but pleas ing. He was told that the bulk of the commerce was carried on with the min ming camps. The developed agri- cultural resources of the valley they ad- mitted were great, but if the patronage drawn from the mines were cut off the effect would be sudden and ruinous. The Vulture, the Congress, the great Phoenix Mine, the Union, those of the Castle Creek, the Cave Creek and the Harqua liala districts are pouring in a constant flood of wealth. The mining territory which drains the products of the mines toward Phoenix is greater in extent than that enjoyed by any other city in the United States except those at which smelters or reduction works are located.
 The mining men suggest that it would pay the real estate men in the long run to convey the idea that Phoenix Is supported by diversified industries an important one of which is mining They also point out the difficulty and obstacles to be encountered in selling a man a corner lot when he wants to buy a gold mine.

of the treasury department, have lived temperate and commendable public and private lives in Washington. The late secretary of the treasury, Mir. Windom, was pronounced temperance advocate. In fact, the temperance sentiment seems to prevail in the entire admins tration, and the legislative circles as well. It is very clear to my mind that the popular impression concerning tip- bling in Washington is erroneous, be- cause it is exaggerated. It is true that individuals here, as elsewhere indulge in strong drink.
 A few members of the house of rep resentatives are drinking men; but they do not usually indulge their appetites during the day, and hence are not un- der the baneful influence while con- gress is iL session. They surrender to their unfortunate desires only at night These individu; however, should not be regarded as fair examples of the so- cial circles of official society in the na- tional capital.
 In a public address recently delivered here, the speaker-Gen. Cutcheon-as- serted that the social customs of Wash ington were responsible for much of the evil resulting from the use of intoX- icating drinks. Men and women, he said were tempted beyond what they were able to bear, lost their moral bal ance, and drifted into lives of sin. He knew of mo other city in the country where there was so much wine drink ing"
 This is unfair, and untrue. Nearly everyone of our priests and pastors has denied the truth of the statement made, mainly because it is an exaggeration. An Episcopal rector, who has long resid- ed here, says: Ut seems to me not only

DUTY ON SUGAR. Henry WatterSon Would
 Re-Impose 1t. He PrOfeSSeS to be
 Guided Solely
By the Great Principle of Tariff
 for Revenue Only.
An Array of Figures Does not Alter the Fact that Sugar Has Been
 Cheapened.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. l6.--L Associated Press. l-Henry Watterson has written letter to the Republic in which he takes strong grounds in favor of impos- ing duty on sugar. He says:
 "The Mckinley act makes sugar the subject of two specifications. The first embraces a tariff on refined sugars, im- posed for the benefit of the sugar trust, and yielding that ''infant industry about $l5 ,O00, ,000 annually; the second is a bounty of 2 cents pound to be paid those who produce native raw sugars, aggregating about 5000, ,OOO annually, the sum total costing the con. sumers of sugar an annual increase of about $24 ,O00 ,0O0, and the treasury the loss of nearly 50,000,0 GOO of an nual revenue. Now of all the revenue yielding schedules, sugar brought most of revenue to the treasury and least of protection to the producer, pressing lightest on the consumer. It was strictly a revenue duty, and in advO- eating a uniform duty of 19 cent per pound on all sugars, and the abolition of the sugar bounty altogether, l am arrayed strictly on the side of the prin- ciple of a tariff revenue for only, and in the extremest opposition to the pro- tective theory of taxation"

HALF THE TOWN Of Flagstaff the Valua-
 ble Prize For Which Emma J.Gon- zaIez is Working. The Case Recently Submitted to the Supreme Court. A Brief History of the Action and the Most Important Feature of
 the Legal Dispute.

Briefs in an interesting and important case were submitted last Saturday in supreme court. It is that of Emma J. Gonzales appellant vs F.. w. French and J. E. Jones as trustees for the in- habitants of Flagstaff, The action grew out of claim by the plaintiff to the land covered by about half the town of Flagstaff. The land in dispute prior to 1878 when it was surveyed was occupied by McMillan ct al with view of pre-empting it.
 In 1883 the occupants sold their improvements and possessory rights to plaintiff who settled upon the land prior to the formation of the town of Flagstaff with view of pre-emptiOn and she subsequently attempted to file upon and enter the land. Her claim was supported in part by decisions under an act granting sections l6 and 36 to the state of California, sec. z of which act provides:
 "That when any settlement by the erection of dwelling house, or the cul- tivation of any portion of the land shall be made upon the sixteenth and thirty sixth sections before the same shall be surveyed, or when such sections may be reserved for public uses, or taken by private claims, other lands shall be se-

II we may believe what We hear, the
President has thought it expedient to
modify without loss Of time the rule
that no editors need apply, since he
could not appoint them to office without
being charged with an attempt to SUBJ
sidize the press Of his party.
Tho modification is made to read that
the rural editor may apply for the
much desired %postofice, for his news
paper will not be suspected OF being
the organ OF the administration. 1t is
understood that this yielding is at the
instance OF members OF Congress in
whose eyes the rural editor ia a person
not to be despisod, as indeed ho is.
Now what about the other editors,
and the other newspaper men who arc
not editors2 Are they to be permitted
to apply2 and is the application in all
such cases to DO the end OF it? The
nero privilege OF applying is lean il it is
to be "the be all and the end ALL"
