It will be time enough to speak definitely of these terms when they are officially made known, but of course no one can expect that they are going to be dictated by the govern ment or that they will not be as exact ing as the brokers can make them. These latter are not in business for either fun or patriotism. They are not to be blamed for driving a sharp bar gain, neither is the administration for submitting to the inevitable If the American people allow themselves to be forced into financial straits by a set of incompetents in National legislative office, they must expect to pay roundly for the consequences.

The Chicago Staats Zietung says it is well known that England cannot cope with the navy of the combined powers against her and that in a de- termined and lengthy war no one would suffer more than the English merchant marine and the people of England themselves, whose industries depend upon the importation of raw material from all over the world and whose people would be nearly starved out if importation of grain and other food products were cut off from the rest of the world.

 PHGNIX, JANUARY 10, 1896.
THE EDMUNDS' ACT.

The Edmunds act, originally framed to scourge the Mormons has become boomerang whereby the United States is made to pay the cost of maintaining a semblance of morality in all the ter ritories. In this regard and concern ing the result of the act in New Mexico the Albuquerque Citizen says:
 "The attention of Delegate Catron is called ito the fact that the notorious Edmunds' law should be repealed with out delay. It is unnecessary to remind MT. Caitron of the reasons existing for the repeal, since ithere is no man in the United States better aware than he of the iniquities that have been perpe- trated under cover of this, seemingly, proper law.
 'It was passed for the purpose of en- abling the officers of the general gov ernment to stamp out the sin of polyg- amy in Utha, and it served its pur- pose; polygamy has been destroyed. Utah has been admitted Ito the Union as a state and is no longer subject to the operation of the Edmunds law, but the law still stands, and continues it's work of persecution among the ignor- ant poor of New Mexico, and continues to oppress all other classes by pouring exorbitant fees into the pockets of un- scrupulous officials.
 There was probably never a law passed by the United States congress with better intent, or with more clearly defined purpose to serve the ends of public morality and decency, but by it's perversion through the sor- did schemes of conscienceless officials it has been made, and is today, the worst engine of oppression ever set up in this country, and if the results connected with it's operation in New Mexico had occurred in the districts of congressman from the states, a bill for it's repeal would go through congress without a dissenting vote.
 And aside from the outrages which it causes to be perpetrated upon the humble classes of our people, it causes the courts to be congested to such an extent that the adjudication of civil cases is in many instances out of the question Take the case of our own county for instance, with the judge working more hours than a day labor CT, and yet at the end of a long term the papers announce 'tthe civil docket was not reached
 "A very large proportion probably forty per cent-of the cases on the criminal docket, are prosecutions un- der the Edmunds act, and while a few of these are found technically guilty, a much larger portion are found to be merely the victims of persecution at the hands of malicious neighbors, but the prosecuting officers get their fees, all the same, the time of the court is wasted, the court funds are squander- ed, and the real business of the district suffers"

Human life sometimes spans long periods of time. The death of the eld- est of the eight surviving widows of revolutionary soldiers who have been drawing pensions brings to mind the fact that there are still probably con- siderably number of persons in this siderable number of persons in this men who fought under Washington or his subordinates.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Tucson Star: The next public holi- day will be Arbor day which, by terri ltorial statute, is made a public holi- day. It is to be hoped that the law will be strictly observed throughout the territory, as it is intended to culti- vate among the school children the taste and love of planting trees and shrubbery and more to create general interest among the people in tree planting as one of the essentials of this region as we'll as source of profit. Let every teacher throughout the ter ritory read the law creating Arbor day and learn their duty touching the day and see to it that the law is complied with and observe the results which will flow therefrom. Let the people Of Arizona prepare to celebrate Arbor day, as it is intended to be celebrated by the law which gave it birth.
 San Francisco Bulletin: English bankers are reported as saying that they will buy American bonds only as a speculation. As these bonds are placed upon the market considerably below their market value, a neat turn may be made by buying at sellers price and selling at buyers price, Whether President Cleveland will take pride in having supplied the English market with bonds in which specula- tion is as safe as in buying American S20 gold coin for s19 remains to be seen. MT. Cleveland has perceived staitesmanship in so many acts that seemed silly to more reflective minds that he may congratulate himself on such an achievement as this

 Flagstaff Democrat: Residents of the remote frontier of Arizona may al ways feel comparatively safe from the depredations of Apaches so long as Gov. Hughes cuckoo bodyguard is re- tained and Uncle Sam's infantry and cavalry maintain their rigid course of study in mountain warfare. The troops have been 'fhot on the trail'' of the murderers of H. H. Merrill and his daughter ever since their assasslna- tion, yet the Indians are said to be in- frenched not more than forty miles from the scene of the murder. The ad- ministration claims that Merrill and his daughter were killed by white men, and his mugwump supporters synchronize in chorus of cuckoos.
 Prescott Journal-Miner: A financial writer in the Populist tries to convince rhe voters of Maricopa county that they are under obligations to pay s6,- 000,000 of railroad bonds, of the South ern Pacific and Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroads. The voters of that county must be greener than the al falfa they raise if they believe such wild and wanton statements as appears in a three column article on that sub jeot. While under the law, the mort gage to secure these bonds is recorded that neither the citizens or khe proper ty of the county is held liable and that in every county through which the railroad runs, the veriest tyro knows the bonds are not payable from the traffic to and from the county. Every man, woman and child who crosses the bay between Oakland and San Francisco on ferry boat of the South ern Pacific railroad; every man. woman 'and child who rides on a Southern Pacific train from Los An geles to the sea side; every passenger between San Francisco and Ogden and between San Francisco and New Or leans, and every pound of freight hauled over the system is helping to pay the interest on the $3,000000 bonds of the Southern Pacific. Every pas senger and every pound of freight hauled on the s. F., P. & P. helps to pay for the bonds of this road. Prescott and Yavapai county are today, contrib uting more by far towards the pay ment of these bonds than are the voters of Maricopa county, who are warned by this Don Quixote of finance that bankruptcy, ruin and starvation are staring them in the face unless he is elected delegate to congress, or, iD case of the admission of Arizona as a state, to the United States senate
