AN HWFUI DECISION.

The supreme court of the terri
tory Of New Mexico have decided
that the Atlantic & Pacific railroad
is exempt from taxation says the
Gazette. The company have fol
years maintained that their lease
meant for right-ofway, road-bed
etc, were exempt by act of con
gress from taxation. This was
tried in the courts of Arizona and
the case decided against the rail
road. The supreme court con
sisting of Wright, Porter and
Barnes, passed at length upon this
proposition and gave judgment
against the railroad, bnt the New
Mexico court sitting in Albuquer.
que last week, reversed the judg-
mont of the lower court and gave
a verdict in favor Of the railroad,
If this is good law and the supreme
court of the United States so de.
clares, Apache, Navajo, Coconino
and Mohave counties will be mat
erially injured, in fact few Of
them paralyzed. In passing upon
the case Judge Barnes delivering
the opinion, said in part:
Congress granted a right-of.way
over the public lands, and in the
same section it exempts what is
granted from taxation. 1t did not
grant improvements, culverts,
bridges, buildings, iron, ties, etc.
This was property to be placed
there afterward by the grantees.
Shall we infer that 1t exempted
what 1t did not grant, when il
does not say so or use words look
ing in that direction? We think
not We should stand by the let.
ter of the law, in favor of equality
of taxation. We will not infer
that congress has done so unjust a
thing as to expose an immense
property thereafter to be created
where it would demand the con-
slant protection of all the machi.
merry of organized society at q
great expense, and then relieve 1t
of its Just burden of taxation in
order to defray these expenses. 1t
was projected into almost wilder
ness, where the inhabitants were
few; where the title Of the lands
was in the United States, free from
taxation; where the burdens OF
sustaining social order would al
best be heavy. Such g property
as this would greatly increase these
burdens. 1t cannot be thought foi
u moment that congress intended
by the use Of the innocent words
Sand the right-ofway shall be ex
empt from taxation" to do such @
monstrous wrong as to exempt the
millions the grantees should put
upon the rightoEway from taxa
tion for all time.

THORN TOLD HIS STORY.
Mrs. Mack Denounced MS Murderer Of
GuideDsuppe- Thorn Related
Facts Of His Life.

New York, Nov. 29,-Attorney Howe
today req uested the court to dismiss the
charge of murder in the first degree
against Thorn. The court denied the re-
quest. Mr.. Howe then began an address
with declaration of Thorn's innocence,
which was supplemented with terrific
arraignment of Mrs. Naok, who was de-
nouuced as the real murderer of Gulden-
suppe.
Thorn then took the stand. He briefly
related the facts of his life up to the
time he met Mrs. Mack, 1S months ago,
when Guldensuppe was boarding with
Mrs. Mack. 'She first made love to me
and I returned her love-" said Thorn.
The prisoner described row had with
Guldensupps last February, when Gull
densuppe caught hold of him. Thorn
had a revolver which went off accidentally
and Gndensuppe gave lin a beating.
The prisoner went to hospital 60, re-
cover. Mrs. Mack met him afterwards
very often. She said she was sorry that
Guldeusuppe hurt him, but he must not
heed that.
Thorn declared that Mrs. Mack killed
Guldensuppe and cut up the body, while
he only helped to dispose of it. He told
the story in straightforward manner on
direct examination.

public policy demands the eviction of all
declared lntruders and any measure of
expedienoe on the part of the department
that temporizes with the intruder or
postpones his removal on mere technical
titles is fallacious and misleading. Let
treaties be enforced and all safeguards
secured to the Indians be up, Id in letter
and spirit Then the Indians will maks
liberal concessions and accept without

many persons being wounded.
Two Thousand people gathered in front
of the town hall and the provincial
criminal court to demonstrate in favor of
Herr Wolff, charged with public violence
when being removed from the unterhaus
by the police. The police with drawn
swords dispersed them, one mans skull
being fractured and two others being
severely injured.

the cries, Down with Badeni."
Suddenly a report spread that Count
Badeni had resigned. The demonstrations
ceased almost instantly.
Bsdeni has been endeavoring to secure
the passage of bill prolonging the
Austro- Hungarian compromise another
year. The opposition, while not neces-
ssrily objecting to the extension agree
ment, declared that it could never be rati-
fed by the Badeni cabinet, their object
being to force Badeni to retire.
NEW CABINET TO BE FORMED.
Vienna, Nov. 29.-It is stated that as
soon as new cabinet is formed, Baron
Won Gautsch Won Frankenthurn will enter
into negotiations with the leaders of the
Germans and Czechs with view of bring
ing about notifications in the ordinances
making the Czech language coordinate

caused the riotous scene in the reicrhrath,
which in turn produced among the popu-
lace ferment bordering on revolution,
in consequence of which the Badeni min
istry resigned.
