Inasmuch as the jury rendered a
 verdict supporting the Copper
 Chief" claim, it will not be neces-
 sary for us to look into the evidence
 in regard to the acts performed to
 make the location of the KelPs
 Nellie" or the validity of that loca-
 tion certificate; neither will it be
 necessary to discuss the acts of
 location of tbe Equator" or it>
 certificate of location.
 The vast volume of evidence; the
 vast number of instructions asked,
 and the multitude of errors assign ed, have relation to the conflict be-
 tween KelPs Nellie" and the Equator" all of which would have
 been important to have been con sidered had the verdict been in favor of the government. as we have before indicated; but appellants in sist upon one class of errors with SO much strength that, probably it will not be improper for us, if not incumbent upon us, to give the mat ter some consideration, and that is. as to the law of resumption of an nual expenditure or representation work on 6 claim before the year ex. pires, when the work has not been completed for that year, or furtber where the work had not been at tempted until, the very last day of the year and at.a time when the owners of claim about to be per mitted to go derelict, have entered upon the ground to make the an nual expenditure.

Gov. Otero, Max Frost, Pedro Perea,

in every county in the Territory.
The situation, it is said, is so grave

jury of Webb county has found nearly
twenty indictments against men for
school census frauds. More than a
thousand fraudulent names have been
discovered in the rolls of the public

school funds have been paid to south
western Texas political tools of the
state administration on the school

SHERMAN'S PLEA.
The debate on this occasion, though
not long, was interesting. Senator Sher-
man made an earnest plea to let the
brewers go unburdened with further
taxes, on the ground THAT they were
already large contributors to the reye-
nues of the government. Senator AL
drich was more candid. He came out
with a f1at-footed recognition of the
politics behind the question He taunt-
ed the Democrats with deliberately tax
Ing beer, and expressed his delight that
they, rather than the Republicans, had
assumed the responsibility. "It has been
understood" he said that the brewers
of the country have supported the
Democratic party not only by their
votes, but in a more substantial way,
and that In return for their support
the Democratic party was opposed to
tax on beer. 1t seems now as If s.
change had taken place. do not know,
whether it is in consequence of the
prospective action at Chicago or not,

great ado about the need of more rev.
enue than the Wilson act had yet pro-
vided, and Senator Sherman had been
particularly vigorous in his scolding of
his associates for neglecting to supply
the means for carrying on the gov
ernment. Senator Allen seized the oc-
casion to offer an amendment to the
bill for taxing filled cheese" out of
existence in the severe way that imita-
ton butter had been driven into a
corner about ten years before, under
the guise of a new internal revenue
law. Mr. Aliens amendment proposed
an additional tax on beer of one dol
lar barrel which, as he pointed out,
would yield clear revenue of $780,
100000 year, the exact measure of
the threatened deficit for that year
from the Wilson law.
The suggestion fairly paralyZed the
Republican orators. The few COM
ments made were short and sharp, and
Mr.. Allen pressed a vote. When the
vote was taken the amendment was
laid on the table-35 to o. Some of the
senators who voted to table tried aft
erward to explain their position by
pleading that the amendment was not
germane to the pending bill. This plea
fell to the ground, however unless they
were willing to admit that they were
themselves abusing the constitutional
taxing power Of congress by supporting
the filled cheese bill, not for the pur-,
pose Of raising money for the treasury.
