THE SCHOOL LAND BILL

The bill to lease the school lands OF
| the territory of Arizona was vetoed by
the president yesterday. The opposition
to the bill was developed largely in the
Salt River valley and the contaglon
spread till it g, en- affected the president.
In Tucson, although We DO not know
for what reason, it was known as the
Governors bill'' and there is, in some
quarters, an expression of satisfaction
at its demise. The following is the text
of the bill.
Be it enacted by the senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in congress assem- oi-
ed. That the lands reserved for unlver-
sity purposes, and all Of the school
lands in the territory OF Arizona re-
served by law fer school purposes, may
be leased under such laws and reg ula-
lions as may be hereafter prescribed by
the legislature OF said territory, but
until such legislative action the govec-
nor, secretary of the territory, and
superintendent OF public instruction
shall constitute beard for the leasing
of said lands under the rules 8nd reRu-
latiops heretofore prescribed Oy the
secretary OF the interior for the res
pective proposes for which the said
reservations were made, except that 1t
shall not be necessary to submit said
leases 10 the secretary of the interior
for his approval; and all necessary ex-
pensee ard costs incurred in the leasing.
management and protection OF said
lands and leases may be paid out OF the
proceeds derived from such leases. Pro-
Vid d, That no lease shall be made for q
longer period than five years, and all
leases snail terminate on the admission
of said territory as state. Aud pro-
vided further, That all money received
on account Of such leases in excess OF
actual expenses necessarily incurred in |
connection with the execution thereof |
shall be placed to the credit OF the pub |
lie school fund of said territory and |

public school purpof es."

The Arizona Land Bill Passed Over
the President's Veto.

The Arizona Land Bill Passed Over
the President's Veto.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29-The Arizona
land lease bill passed over the prssi.
dents veto, 200 to 38.
Lacy, chairman OF the public lands
committee, called up the bill to lease
certain lands in Arizona for school pur-
poses, vetod yesterday by the president,
and moved that it be passed over the
veto. Lacey said the house was con-
fronted with a constitutional intsrfer-
ence on bill that had passed both
houses unanimously. "Is it interfer-
ence," asked Miles, democrat of Mary
land, constitutional interference" re-
piled Lacy, "and one that may be fatal.
Two great bodies going in opposite di-
rections have encountered each other"
Lacy explained that tha bill was idsutl-
cal with that authorizing Oklahoma
to dispose of her educational lands for
school purposes under q bill prepared
and passed by q democratic congress.
Murphy, Arizons's delegate. made
positive statement that the bill had the
approval of the secretary Of the interior
and the commissioner-genersl of the
land office and their opinions in writing
had been laid before the president while
be was considering the bill. McRee,
democrat of Arkansas, chairman OF the
public lands committee in the last house,
said he would pass the bill over the
veto. Murphy said the protests received
by the president were from persons
being benefited by the use of the lands
and taxes free.
The senate amendments to the srmy
bill were nonconcurred in
the House today, and the bill was sent
Tor conference.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From cur reguInr correSpou lent
-. nR -

wAsHlNGros, u. e.. Nov. p, lSp6
Senator Morrill, chairman Of the
senate committee of finance, called
at the White House, by invitation,
last week and had an extended con-
ference with Mr.. Cleveland. As Mr..
Cleveland is known to entertain 4
high regard for the opinions Of
Senator Morrill, on questions OF
finance, II is reasonably certain that
he discussed with Mr.. Morrill, the
financial recommendations of his
annual message to congress. 1T is
also probable that be gave Mr.. Nor
rll, u hint as to whether he would
sign or allow the Dingley bill to be-
come law without his signature, if
it should be passed by the senate.
Nearly all the republicans among
the early congressional arrivals IN
Washington are ont spoken in favor
of the calling Of an extra session of
congress for the purpose Of passing a
tariff bill that will at the same time
give the government the revenue it
must have and the protection needed
by our home industries. Repre-
sentative Circuit, of VT, voiced this
sentiment when he said II would
like very much to see congress meet
in special session ut noon of the very
day after the Inauguration Of Presi-
dent Mckinley. The call for n
special session should certainly be
the very first act Of the new admins

This sentiment is admirably summed
up by The Darlington Republican,
which, referring to the speakership,
says:
But, with all due respect to the
other candidates, there is one gentle
man named whom the people OF this
section of the state are acquainted
with, and who. il elected, would make
one of the best speakers in the his
tory OF the state, and that man Is the
Hon. w. A. Jones, Of Mineral Point.
1t Is going to be no easy task to be
speaker of the next assembly. The
republican majority Is abnormally
large, and contains many new men,
inexperienced in legislative affairs.
and, unless the speaker is man OF
nerve, Judgment and backbone, there
| is liable to be trouble in the camp.
Because he possesses every quail
| fication necessary for successful lead
ership, the Republican favors the
| election of Mr.. Jones.
He is honest, and has the unlimited
confidence Of every acquaintance.
He is cool-headed, and would be
neither ratified nor stampeded.
4 He Is conscientious, and while hold
ing the legislature in check and keep
| ing the members at work. he would
make it difficult, If not impossible, to
pass any vicious or questionable leg
islation.
He belongs to no faction, and nc
clique or ring could control him o.
swerve him from the path of duty.
III the legislature desires to start
right, they can give evidence Of the
fact in no stronger way than by the
election of Hon. VIM. A. Jones ar
speaker.

EARNINGS, INCOME AND DIVIDENDS PER MILE
or LINE OpFRATTD

Here, again, the rise under Republic
anism is as pleasing as the fall under
Democracy is painfully apparent The
earnings of 1895 were considerably less
than i'll 1890. The net income Of last
year was less than half that of 1890.
But the most striking figures are those
which compare the amount of dividends
paid III 1894 and 1895 with the net in
come i'll those two years, the dividends
being far in excess Of the income. This
important feature in railroad hnancier-
ing is specially noted i'll the report of
the interstate commerce commission as
follows:
1.-The dividends declared, it will be
observed, are greater than the final net
income. from which it appears that the
railways of the United States closed the
year covered by the report with a deficit
from the operations of the year of $780,
$40, PAL, which was, of course, met
either by decrease in the accumulated
surplus OF previous years or Ill the crea-
ton of current liabilities. The deficit
for the year ending June &c. 1894, was
$40, SOL, 1894, showing that the railways
of the United States have run behind
during the two years in question $50, :
696, 535. Should this continue, either
the investments or the credits Of rail-
ways must disappear. .
We feel sorry for the stockholders,
among whom are many having their
entire money invested in railroad Sc
curities. To all such the following sum.

DIVIDENDS WERE REDUCED
Stockholders 81 American Railroad Shares
Have suffered Severely.

Railroad stockholders-and they are
scattered throughout every state in the
Union--have recently had as much food
for reflection as the railroad hands. The
reductions in wages by the companies
have been more than equaled by the re-
duced earnings, the result being reduced
dividends, or no dividends, as stock
holders know only too we'll. Take a
glance at the number of passengers and
the quantity of freight carried during
recent years;
