Memorial exercises were held at Central
park last Sunday. A large number of vet

took part in the exercises by reciting or
reading and singing, after which each
school formed in procession, many scholars
carrying flag, and all marched to the
cemetery nearest by and decorated each old
soldiers grave with an abundance of beau
tiful flowers and wreaths. These exercises
will leave an impression upon the minds of
the children and aid them to comprehend
something of the cost of preserving the
Union and the sacrifice made for it.

THE ANT1-PRrzE FIGHT LAW.

The bill to prohibit prize fighting and bull fighting in the United States, introduced in the House by Delegate Catron of New Mexico, was railroaded through Congress, and by the sigma ture of the President became 8 law. It reads "That ary person who, in any of the Territories, or tho District of Columbia, shall voluntarily engage in Q pugilistic encounter, between man and man, or fight between man and bull. or any other animal, for money, or for other things of value, or for any championship or upon the result Of which any money or any thing of value is bet or wagered, or to which any ad- mission fee is charged, either directly or indirectly, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than one year, nor more than five years.
 By the term 'pugilistic encounter, as used in this bill, is meant any volun- tary fight by blows. by means of fists or otherwise, whether with or without gloves, between two or more men, for money or for prize of any kind, or for any other thing of value, or for any championship, or upon the result of which any money or anything of value is bet or wagered, or to see which any admission is charged, either directly or indirectly n

THE MINERAL MARIlEV
MIR. MURPHY'S APOSTASY.

It would be far more agreeable to ui to give cordial support to our Delegate in Congress in ali matters pertaining tc the interests of Arizona. A Delegate in our opinion, no matter what hi' politics is, should aim to represent tho whole people. He should endeavor tc learn what they really want, and divest himself of party prejudice to the extent at least tha. it will not impair his use fnlness as the peoples representative, And above all he should live up to the principles of the platform upon which he was elected and to his declarations and promises made during the cam, paign, to which he owes his election. The majority of the people, accepting these professions in good faith, cast their votes for him and have right to expect the fulfillment of the promises made.
 The Republicans of Arizona declared uneauivocslly for the free coinage of silver, and Mir. Murphy reiterated that principle, dear to the hearts of Ari- zonans, in all his public speeches dur ing the campaign. Therefore, his ex- pression of opinion, several weeks ago, that the silver question is of small i'm portance in Arizona and that the peo- pie of the Territory are not extremists on the financial question, was rude shock to his constituents. Some of the Republican organs in Arizona have en- deavored to explain away Mir. Murphy's s recreancy, but the attempt is abortive since MT. Murphy has not essayed to deny the sentiments attributed to him. Delegate Murphy has not only offered no denial, but, in an interview pub lished in the New York Tribune of January 25, has emphasized his hos tility to silver, and, as corrective for our financial evils, advocates the retire ment of the greenbacks and the issue of 3 per cent bonds to accomplish 1t. And to offset the contraction of the currency which would result from such action, advises that the national banks should be permitted to increase their circulation mp to par of their deposited bonds, by the purchase of United States bonds in geld. And if further subscription to bonds is needed by the Government, to invite popu- lar loan of 8 per cent bonds of small denominations at par, and, Mir. Mur- phy adds, mo doubt the American people would be found no less patriotic than the French"
 MT. Murphy, if he was honest in his profession In favor of silver coinage, has been overcome by the influences of the money lenders, and is in accord with his party in the East. We are, therefore, forced to the conclusion that Delegate Murphy does not truly rep resent the people nor the Republican party, even, in the Territory and is recreant to his trust.

important Point Raised in the Walker
 Case,


 In the Supreme Court at Phoenix, on the 10th inst, the main cause for the day, says tLe Republican, was the old appeal from the probate suit over the John D. Walker estate, affecting the ownership of the famous Vekol mine, south of Casa Grande, and the possession of about S25, ,000, supposed to be on deposit in Los Angeles bank. The parties at interest are the brothers of the deceased pioneer, and the daughter, Juana Walker, offspring of deceased and of Pima squaw In the lower court the suit went adversely to tbe Indian girl, the Court declaring the marriage of the parents void and illegal, it having been by the Indian mode. Upon this ruling the daughter was therefore adjudged to have 10 rights in court.
 Judge Street, one of the attorneys for the appellant, in his argument brought forth in an exceptionally strong manner point that greatly interested the attendant lawyers. Counsel cid not com bat the ruling of the lower court on the ground of legality of the mar riage tie that losel, bound John D. Walker to his Pima bride, hut almost entirely confined himself 10 the point that after cutting out the evidence of marriage, the girl, by Territorial statute, is yet entitled to inherit with out regard to legitimacy, on proof of 1ascant

JUDGE BETHUNE'S DECISION IN
 THE wOLFLEY CASE

The Arizona Citizen, of February II, i, publishes the full text of Judge Bethune's decision in the case of Lewis Wolhey, plaintiff, vs. c. P. Leitch ct als, defendants--an action for $10,0O damages alleged to have been suffered by plaintiff by reason of the refusal of defendant, as Territorial Auditor, to issue warrant to plaintiff for the sum of S7,366.65.
 The Legislative Assembly of Arizona passed Act No. 28, by two-t thirds vote over the veto of the Governor, to re- fund to Lewis Wolhey his personal expenses, with interest, incurred in obtaining the Congressional enactment of the Arizona Funding Act, and au. thorized and directed the Territorial Auditor to draw his warrant upon any fund not otherwise appropriated, or upon the general fund of the Territory, for the sum of S50O0, with interes, added at 10 per cent per annum from June 30, 1890, the date of the approval of said Funding Act, mp to the date ol the approval of Act No. 28, which was not approved by the Governor, but, nevertheless, became a law March IS, 1895. On the 18th day of March, 1895, plaintiff presented to Defendant Leitch, as such Auditor, certified copy of said act and demanded that he draw his warrant on the Treasurer for the said sum of 5000 and interest, a. provided, and which said Auditor re Fused to do on the ground, ns set mp ii

Constitutional prohibitions against the creations of debts and obligations by States, political and municipal cor porations, are mandatory, and leave no discretion to the courts or other depart ment of the Government in ccnstruing their plain provisions.
 The decision is strictly in line with the opinion rendered by Judge Baker in the case of Jordan vs. Maricopa County, declaring unconstitutional aud void the Commissioner of Immigration Act. Both decisions are based upon those sections of the Harrison Act limiting the indebtedness of Territories and the power of Te ritorial legisla. lures to incur indebtedness. In the event of an appeal of the case of Wolhey vs. Leitch, with Judge Baker virtually committed to Bethune's s opinion, there is no probability of a reversal of the judgment of the lower court. In fact, we would expect 8 unanimous opinion affi ming the de- cision, since the act of the Legislature to reimburse Lewis Wolfey is so clearly in conlravention of the Harrison Act, part of the organic law of Arizona, that there can be no two opinions on it.
 We are gratiied to know that our opinion of the illegsllty of these acts of the Eighteenth Legislature, appropri- ating money for purposes other than those specified and allowed by section 3 of the Harrison Act, has been con- firmed by two of the four District Judges on the bench. The acts of 1895, levying taxes for the erection of the Reform school, the Normal school and dormitory at the Territorial Uni versity, come within the same iilhibi- ton, and it only requires an injunction to be brought against the levying of these taxes to obtain decision of the court nullifying the acts men, toned
