The procrastination of Congress and the enormous and growing expenses of its sessions may well engage Che atten. tion of the thoughtful citizen. although it is an easy matter to point out abuses but quite difficult to suggest remedy
 A review of the work and cost io the nation of the first session of the Fifty second Congress gives results which are anything but reassuring During the session there were introduced in the House 9, ,70i bills, exclusive of ap- propriation, committee and Senate bills, and out of this experimentation only AGO bills passed that body In the Senate, during tho same session g, ,395 bills, exclusive of committee and House bills, were introduced, of which TOT passed. The total number of laws enacted was 432, or only 8 per cent of all bills introduced in hoth Houses. Probably this paucity of actual legisla- ton Is not so much matter of regret, although it is notorious that Congress accomplishes less and less of its proper work year by year.
 It is the excessive cost of federal log islatiou which most excites disapproyal. The cost of the first session of the Eff. ty-seeond Congress was; Senate, Sl - .377, ,629; House, g, 79o,9l1 Total, SI,I6S,54 The Senate cost per day was s7,9l4, or SS6 50 for each Senator for four hours attendance. The cost of the House per day was Sl4,924 SS3 80 to each member Congression- al printing for tho session cost Sl ,045,- 200; pay of 54l employees, SG95, 945. In the Senate employees numbered nearly three to each Senator The average cost of each of the 432 laws enacted was S,a, a,649.
 At every succeeding session of Con gress the cost of legislation increases, and retrenchrieut and the correction of abuses are harder to effect. There appears to be no remedy outside of the will of Congryss itself, and few mem, bers are likel,y to favor reforms to cur tail the luxur es and political privileges which they elloy at public expense.

Congressman J. c, Bell, of Cobra do, author of the law which suspended assessment work on mining claims for the year 1898, has made public the re- quest Ifat all miners, prospectors and miners unions take immediate action on the question of extepdiug She law to cover the year 1894 There is some objection in Congress, it seems, to a re-enactmeut of the law because it would benefit the owners of mineral claims other than silver.
 The objection is not well taken, how, ever, as the chief benefclaries would be gold and silver miners, and the law would have no effect practically, on gold claims, for the reason that the present activity in the search for gold insures the performance of greater smount of development work on nearly all gold claims in the United States than the assessment law requires.
 It has been suggested to us by a practical miner that a petition embody- ing this important explanation, should be drawn up and circdiated in Globe District for the signatures of miners and mine owners, to be forwarded at as early day of possible to Represcn- tatiye Bell ct Washington.

The desire of many miners that the provisions of the law suspcnding as. sossmeut work for 1893 be extended to 1894 meets with 8 great deal of opposi- t5on in Congress, say, the Mining and Scientific Press. True, no test of sen. timent has yet been made, but it is a fact that when the bill for 1898 wes proposed it also included 1894 This proposition encountered much objec. tiou, and, to save the bill, Congress- man Bell, of Colorado, went before the House Committee and consented to an amendment striking out 1894 In this shape the measure became 6 law; other wise, it was certain to be defeated.
 It cannot be said thnt the miners Of the gold States take a great deal of in- tersst in the measure; at least they do not by any meaps consider it vital to their welfare. In the silver States the matter is regarded quite differently. If it were possible to exempt the silver mines only, there would be no great objection to suspending the provisions of law ID their favor alone; but it is not. If any mines for precious metals are favored, all must, in the nature of  things, be included. Whatever is done, it is desirable that it be done very quickly.

STILL rRusTINa.


 In our issue of the l4th inst VIC felt 1t incumbent to note for the iuforma- ton of Gila county taxpayers, tho ag- gregate gum they have advanced for he'triaY of Apache Indians, which with interest foots up about sll, ,000 and which is chargeable to the United States, but which, through the agency of red tape the parent government has avoided paying, Graham county is also out and injured in like manner to what extent we do not know exactly; but their claim can hardly be less than tho amount due Gih county.
 This subject Of costs incurred in trials of Indiars the more it is handled the larger it swells, and may justly be compared to goose's liver under the manipulation of French cook. Gila and Graham are not the only counties which have had to pay for disciphning Bncle Sans Indians and are still out of pocket and eSpectan.ly waiting to be reimbnrsed. The Territory is also 8 victim of misplaced confidence, as Is shown by the annual Territorial prison report, March 3lst to the extent of s29, ,729 0G, which with that due Gila and Graham counties may reasonably be computed as aggregating not less than S52, 1000.
 A casual view of this matter will not tend to inference the confidence of the taxpayers iu the business principles of of the Federal government. It Is one thing for the good citizens of the Ter ritory to bear with the caprices of the Indians and suffer silently the damages these government wards may perpe- trate, but 1t in another thing for the citizens to complacently contemplate this imposition and in addition to have Co dig into the county funds to try the Indians for their crimes, trusting eter- nally in the smooth reading promises of the government that the counties will be reimbursed If the govern ment's exchequer is so surrounded by red tape that is cannot meet tho obliga- tions due the Territory it is about time that the Territory protests against act ing et-ofiicio as the United States. Is it not sufficient that the counties on- durs the petty nuisances of the red men out of consideration for the gov ernment without meeting tue eoutin- gent expense for the;r prosecution?
 The matter seems to shape itself into this e0nditon--that Uncle sam gen. ously and d-conscientiously cares for the good Indians, bat the Territories must care for the bad ones in other words the lambs will be protected by the government and the Territory must protect itself against the black sheep. This is the condition but the theory is that all of the Indians are under the charge of the government and that the Territorial citizens cannot interfere except -ah there is the ex- ception--to pay for the prosecution of she offending Indians, trusting in the acknowledgement by tho government of the debt incurred
 How long will the citizens of the Territory subject themselves to this imposition?

 The verdict for the plaintiff in the Pollard Breckiuridge breach of-promise shit will meet with general commenaa- ton Miss Pollard, however, should not feel that ID the eyes of the public she is heroine or deserving of admi- ration. The stain on her character has not been effaced by tho verdict; if any thing, 1t stands ont brighter than be- fore because it is furnished by an award of 515, ,O00--a money comp9nsa- ton for being slightly less infamous than the defendant.
 While the verdict meets with ap- proyal it does pot in any sense lessen the disgust of right thinking people for both parties to the scandal The affair is rocking m filth and should be rele- gated to a place from which it cannot again be brought forth.
 The statement is made that MT. Breckinridge is still ambitious of point ical honors. It would be far better il he should make himself conspicuous by obscurity and it would not be cut of order if Miss Pollard should follow suis. Neither of them can be other than ob- jects of contempt in the estimation oi decent people, and decent journalism should 80 regard them. The word

It is rumored that excavations, in the interest of science, may be under taken in what ia known as the "cra- tern near Canyon Diablo, in Northern Arizona, where the meteoric stone containing diamonds was found some time ago. Geologists say that the pie ces of stone found arc fragments of one gigantic meteor which buried it. self iu the earth, leaving a hole three quarters of a mile in diameter that has since partially filled up, but is still one hundred feet deep with prieipitous walls. It resembles the so-called era tors on the moon, which science now declares to have been formed by the imp1ct of hugo moteors.
 The diamonds found in the moteoric stone at Canyon Diablo are too small to be Of any commercial value, but are important as supporting the theory that there are other worlds thau ours which are inhabitable. It is claimed that diamonds which are so nearly of the same chemical constitution as coal, could not possibly come into existence without previous vegetable growths, ana if there was vegetable life where the meteor came from it is fair to pre- sums Shat there was animal life also.
