 A few political schemers seem determined to fasten the circuit court law on the territory.

 The following brilliant sciuitilla- ton of intellect flashed from the columns of the Courier this morning.

 The voters have already endorsed | the republican assertion that this is 8 billion dollar country. It is thore- fore waste of time for the demo crats to be jawing because the sp- of the present congress will go beyond that amount. No needless appropriations have been made, and none of the money will be paid paid out except for value received; that's all the people wish to be certain of. |
