AZ Section 1885 Revised Statutes
NN of the United States reads as
~ follows:
5TWN "Postmasters shall notify the
NN publisher Of any newspaper, or
other periodical, when any sub
scriber shall refuse to take the
same from the office, or neglect to call for it for
the period of one month,
Hon. John L. Thomas Assistant Attorney
General of the United States says
" Where party takes paper out
OF the office he will be liable for the subScrip-
tion price for it, whether his time is out or not
or whether he subscribed for it originally or
not The only way for him to escape liability
therefor is to refuse to receive it. The
relation between the publisher Of newspa-
per and subscriber is that of a contract, and
the same rules of law apply in that case as APP

This thing is getting monotonous,
We have got two loads of wood on sub
scription in the last two years
Gentle spring will soon be here and
the farmer will feel like planting twice
as much corn as he can tend when the
hot days come.
Dink Short reports that he has killed
300 rabbits so far this season. He
won't kill half that many weeds ia his
cornfeld next summer.
A subscriber up in the mountains
presented us with a pet grounding last
fall so that we could get practical test
of his ability to forecast the weather,
but he has got so poof that he didn't
know his own shadow.
Our fellow townsman, Col. Warning,
died suddenly last night. He was a
daily caller at our Office, and the first
intelligence we had of his death was
when we noticed that our exchanges
had not been slobbered over and culled
out.
Abe Smoots rushed into our office
yesterday terribly excited about the
spots on the sun. We noticed as he
was leaving that he had two spots on
the seat of his pants. What Abe wants
is to look to his own spots and let the
sun take care of itself.
A subscriber writes to know if rocks
are still forming or if there are as many
now as there always was. We are a
little rusty on geology, but from OBJ
servation we would state that there are
not so many as there used to be, be-
cause our kids have thrown away thou
ands of them.
A tramp printer, who has been loaf
ing around our Office for two weeks, at
tempted to commit suicide night before
last by letting the train run over him,
but the coroner decided that it was q
case of homicide, as he was killed by q
hand car while waiting for the train.
An exchange announces that the back
bone of winter has been broken. We
don't doubt it. If its locomotive pow
ers had not been paralyzed by a fracture
of the spinal column, it surely could
have managed to get out OF this COM
munity before now We hope this
place will not be made a hospital for
crippled winters much longer.
Our foreman died last Tuesday OF
what the doctor termed "over-worked. -
We do not coudescend to notice the in
suit offered our humane disposition to-
ward our hired men by this brainless
quack. The fact is our foreman has
had The lightest job of any one in town,
as he has done almost nothing for the
past six months except set up our jokes
and possibly laugh over them little
every pay day.

SENATORIAL POSSIBILITIES.

The Carson Appeal Of the 9th instant
mentions the following persons. who are
doing some buzzing in the matter of the
Senatorial seat /:
An effort 10 being made by the Nixon
contingent to induce Clarke to deliver a
lecture on the legal status Of . non-resi-
dent without any personal a~Ilusion to any
me-, but so far the General has declined
to be drawn into the controversy.
Meanwhile the friends Of Governor
Sadler propose to put him in the fight,
and il is rumored hat the Governor is
not adverse to the programme.
A. G. Cleveland is also mentioned as a
probable candidate, who will come in
with msnipulations and some dough.
Meanwhile several parties are figuring
IN the complimentary vote Of the Repub.
lioans. Judge Bigelow wants il, but ex-
Governor Colcord 10 regarded IS the
"logical candidate" % he has remsined
in the State since he retired from Office.
and Bigelow is packing his household
goods ready to pitch his tent in Cali
fornia.
In case Jones had 81 votes and Nixon
81 ON joint ballot, the man who held the
thees Republican votes could pitch the
sonatorship wherever he pleased. 1t
would make en- interesting deadlock,
and in such . case no one could guess
where the plum would fall. Nixon's
friends claim 20 votes, but the Jones
people laugh when the figures are men,
toned and say nothing.

/ FEDERAL OFFICIALS VIEW,

A Pittsburg dispatch Of January Sth
says: Hon. George w. Skinner, pension
agent for this district, was the unexpect-
ed orator Of the occasion tonight when
the Randall club very brilliantly COM
memorated Jackson Day at the club
house. Though holding q commission
from Grover Cleveland, he raped the
President in a manner that was literally
a~pplauded. In the course of Mr.. Skin
ner's speech he predicted that Mr.. Bryan
would be the next President. eff the
politicians do not nominate him, the
people will"
Mr.. Skinner then continued While
l will say nothing more against the Pres
ident, to whose favor I owe the Office Of
pension agent, l will say that Mr.. Cleve.
land has misinterpretsd the feeling in the
minds Of the masses of the Democratic
party. The trouble with too many Dem
ocratic leaders is that they were reared
in a bad atmosphere. The fault with
New York Democrats is that they we're
brought up too near Wall street."
The remarks created . profound sem
sation, and there was q moment for re-
covery from the shock before applause
broke out.

rHE FUNDING BILL DEFEATED.

Mondays proceedings in the lower
House Of Congress were anxiously looked
forward to by people all over the coun-
try, and particularly from the residents
Of this coast. For several days past the
fight on the Pacific Railroads Funding
bill has attracted the attention of those
directly interested and the public in gen.
eral. Opinions were freely expressed -
TO the probable result, and judging BY
these IL was thought that the corpora
tions had the best Of the fight. When
the news came, however. Of the result il
was o complete surprise, for the bill had
met with Q decisive defeat, there being .
majority Of &C. votes against il. Frank
G. Newland's vote was recorded on the
side Of the people. notwithstanding the
almost positive claims Of many people
that he would favor the measure.
The Salt Lake Tribune's Washington
correspondent says: The defeat Of the
Pacific railroad Funding bill in the House
was not unsnticipated, in spite Of the
vigorous work Of the lobby in its behalf.
The decisive vote by which il was shelved
takes il out of the legislative road, and
compels prompt action by the Govern
mens to protect its lien. Foreclosure
proceedings will be ct once commenced,
with the result that the Central and
Union Pacific will be operated together
q one line, the Government indebted.
ness will be paid in full, and the States
adjacent to the trsnscontinental line will
be afforded relief from burdens which
have been the necessary consequences OF
past years Of mismansgement.
A Washington dispatch Of the 18th
inst. says Attorney General Harmon
was asked to-day about the probable
course the Government would pursue
with respect TO the Pacific railroads nov
that the Funding bill had failed. Beyond
. statement that some action would prob.
ably be taken within thirty days, he de-
clined to discuss the matter. II 10 be-
lieved, however, that the first step will
be against the Union Pacific, inasmuch
as foreclosure proceedings instituted by
first lien holders Of that road are nov
pending in courts.

cupA.s BENEDICT ARNOLD.

DIR. Maxine Zertuchs IL likely 10 fig
ure iueloriously in history ss the Bene-
dict Arnold Of Cuba. Arnold was . con-
s~picuous figure in the army ct the Amer
lean revolutionis.s-as was Zertuchs in
the patriot army Of Cuba. Arnold had
enemies in high places who ssssiled his
integri.y-ss had Zertucha. Arnold was
defended by and favored with the conf
dence of Washington ; so was Zertuchs
defended by the ~msRnsnimous Maceo.
Arnold, for personal gain, betrayed the
cause conided to his keeping and the
commander who had been his shield
against the suspicious Of patriot soldiers;
so Zertuchs, vilest Of traitors, played The
Judas for . sun Of money. Msceo is
dead by the hand Of . beneficiary. though
Washington lived despite the traitors
plot.
As Benedict Arnold received q commits
sion 10 the British army as . reward oil
his treachery, so to-day we are told, says
the New York Mail and Express, that
Zertucha, safe within q police Gordon in
Havana, has been honored not alone with
money, but with q commission rs guide
TO the Spanish forces invading the prov
ince Of Pinar del Rio. Long . resident
of that province, familiar with the topo-
graphy Of the country and with the fast
nesses which have been Of such signal
service to the little Cuban army. Weyler
hopes, by using the scoundrel in the field,
to negative the ~strsgetic advantage thus
far enjoyed by Maceo and his successor
to the west of the trocha.
With the Inauguration Of this enter
prise every honest man. on whichever
side his business interest or sympathies
may rest. must hope that the likeness Of
Benedict Arnold and Maxine Zertuchs
will cease-exceps SO far as il may extend
to the utter failure Of the American
traitor in the active service Of his coun-
try's foes. Arnold lived and died . dis
appointed and embittered man, hated al
home and despised abroad. The fit Sc
quel of Zertucha's crime would be found
in his whitening bones, exposed on the
fields which were the scene Of his das-
tardIy betrayal. and denied the fna
right Of decent burial which is accorded
to all ordinary criminals.
