A HOLLOW PRETENSE.

The Southern Railway attorneys are
afraid that the anti-lease bill that passed
the House will go through the Senate
without amendment, and that, if it does,
the State viii recover back all attorneys

Governor can pay fees under the provi-

the Mayor and Mr.. Sturges have taken IL
upon themselves 60 constitute this tody.
When they took hold of the matter no
satisfactory results had been obtained, but
since much has boen accomplished. The
act OF the solicitor and the sustaining of
that act ~ the courts has gained some
grounds Previous 10 this self'appointed
committee the road was having things
pretty much its own way Since then
they have abandoned tho idea OF running
freight track between the passenger tracks
and have proposed at least some train
sheds though not satisfactory ones This
IL had not done before
At tho last conference the difference
between tho city and road was only
slight. Now il is desired to have 9 special
committee duly appointed for this special
purposp. Ths committees OH terminal

PERSONAL DIFFICULTIES.

The Vidette editor "can settle his difficulties outside of his paper" So can THE OASIS editor if he wants to
 violate the law. But he s'is not that
 kind of a hairpin." Moreover THE OASIS editor has no personal difficult ties of any nature to settle any,. where-whether through the columns of his newspaper or elsewhere. The attitude of this paper upon public subjects is purely impersonal. If persons will stand in the way of what is right in public matters, they must expect criticism. Because they are criticised they cannot sneak behind an imaginary screen of personal diffi-. culties' and eyade all responsibility for their public acts. That is exactly what is the trouble withthe "kickers'' in Nogales. They are nvt willing to concede that any tne but themselves shall have any voic- in public mat ters, and they immediately make all opposition to their wishes personal matter, following it up with all sorts of persecution. Elsewhere men divide differently upon different pub lie questions. In one election men will be working side by side; in the next election they will be opposed to each other; and afterwards unite up- on some other subject. But when a man once takes stand on any public question in Nogales he always finds in opposition those whom he opposed in the first stand And the fellows who do that kind of work are always cry ing stand together, but it inYaria- bly, means union against the best interests of the town.

When he was passing over the break on the Sonoita canon last week, General Manager Krutschnitt in- formed Superintendent of Bridges George Montague that when the bridges which have been washed out are replaced 1t shall. be done with fine iron structures of the very best class. There will be thirteen of them, and when they are once completed there will be no further such long continued breaks as have heretofore occurred. The trouble has been that logs and other drift, coming down with the water, have torn out bents in the pile bridges, in little time tearing away the entire bridge, or nearly 70. The iron bridges will rest on solid stone abntments each side of the stream, and the logs and drift will float beneath without striking any portion of the structure, consequently the bridge will never be in any danger.
