The Apache name for railroad is Bes- che-la--na-ya.-ha-bes-tin. No wonder some of them objects to the coming of such monster. However, says the Bulletin, the Indians in general have no objections to the railroad passing g through the reservation. The line only touches cultivated land or runs below the ditches in two places. This IS on the San Carlos river. One farm of 200 hundred acres is cut in the miIdle, but no damages will be done at any place further than the land taken for the road bed.

THE sharp advance in the price of silver is something that the goldbugs will regard with pain. The logical conclusion of their arguments would seem to be that an increase in the de- msnd ot silver would cause it to de- preciate still luther; yet here we have another confirmation of the we'll known principle of political economy. The free coinage of silver would, of course, create . demand for the white metal, and its commercial value would immediately rise its coinage value but this is . truth the goldbugs will not recognize, and even practical illus trations like that now being furnished by the silver bullion market will not
 aect them.

A LITTLE ROMANCE
Two Arizona People Who Win Have Their Love Affairs
 Aired in Court.

The following from the Los Angeles Express wIll be of interest as both the principal. in the little romance are known by many of our readers:
 A suit has been filed Tn Justice Young's court which will bring out some lively testimony, when the case cones 10 trial.
 IL is a suit for the recovery Of some iewelry, and has been brought by c. J. Boyd, a grocer who recently opened business at 52l San Pedro street.
 The defendant in tue action Is be- wi'ching young blonde, Miss Mabel Jones, who lives with her parents on Chestnut street, in East Los Angeles, and the events which culminated in the suit are oi sentimental interest. Miss Jones is an unusually pretty girl, trim and neat and with dangerous eyes, which inspired MT. Boyd, wid- ower as he is, with wild longings which took shape not only in protestations of love, but occasioned him to drop into poetry.
 In the course of business Mir. Boyd .old goods 10 the family, and thus met Miss Mabel. He WAS charmed ty her beauty and gay spirits.
 M-s Mabel liked the widoger and enjoyed his society, but when he began to urge matrimoDy upon her, she CO., quetted with him, and finally said 3 to his ardent persuasions.
 The situation was in somewhat strained condition when Nr. Boyd suggested 10 his Dulcinea that fl she did not propose to marry him she had better return the iew-lry he had pre- sented her. Miss Mabel is a spirited girl, and she threw the iewelry at her sdmirer.
 It would have been all right fl he had not hovered around the candle, but NIT. Boyd was persistent and gave the jewelry back 10 the young lady. Again she rejected him and then he grew wrathful.
 It is said he has written some love missives which will appear in the evil dence. There was one in which, among other things, he said he would wade through blood to his sweetheart and cheeriully die for her, but after his rejection another letter shows that he was not so willing 10 batEe in gore. In fact, in sharp contrast with his lov- ing words, he says he will have his rights or die, and if Miss Mabel does not return the iewelry he will make her more trouble than she ever had in her life.
 She declined to gIye mp the iewelry and Saturday the complaint; was filed by Mir. Boyd, which will result in the airing ol the little romance in court.
