There was trouble in the Palace last
night In fact, there are few places in
this world that do escape trouble, even
as the crown is uneasily worn by many
royal head; but the particular palace
now in question is the only one of pub
lie fame in this city and the trouble
was not among the lords of the estate
but among the nobility that pay night
ly court in its spacious halls. Reilly
was the man and he was drunk. An
lrlshman rather dislikes things in a
palace anyway, and when Reilly dis
covered another Irishman drunk on
the premises he started in to lick him.
He did good job notwithstanding he
he only had one eye to guide his
hands with. A railroad man picked
up the fallen hero from the battlefield
when Reilly whipped him again. This
made the brakeman mad so he licked
Reilly and he whipped him plenty
The brakeman had two eyes and he
got away all right. Reilly only bad
one and fell into the hands of an Off
Ger. The other fellow, we'll, he had
been "blind" all evening and of course
got run in.-Phoenix Herald

"There is good deal of difference
between a qait claim and warrantee
deed" says the New York World.
(which are We to get for onr $20,060,0U0

is Spain's title worth if the natives
confront us with our Declaration of
Independence and firm determina-
tion to govern themselves? There you
go again, trying to ring in the Declara-
ton of Independence; and you have
been giving space to Andrew Carnegie
to talk about the obligations of the
government under the constitution.
It is dou btful if the ultra-expansion-
lists want to hear much about these
old documents. They want to get on
new basis. They are not satisfied to
follow in the footsteps of the fathers.
They seem to want war as q Dormal

Mexican congress has confirmed the
concession granted to A. B. Smith and
associates of Los Angeles Under the
concession, the company is given an
immense tract of land on the Gulf of
California, and under the contract
made is to be colonized at once. Smith
and his associates agree to at once con-
struct railway to Ft. Yuma, Cal, and
to conduct steamship line to South
ern Mexico IT is said the company
will also run its steamers to Southern
California. The line will include six
steamers Capt. Smith has been work
lug on this scheme for years and has
unlimited capital behind him. The
land ceeded is the best agricultural
land on the American continent and
can be easily irrigated by water taken
from the Colorado river. The mineral
resources of the country are also of
vast Importance and with transporta-
tion facilities will be rapidly devel-
oped. This concession means a great
deal to Yuma as it will hasten the con-
struction of the San Diego railroad

other trans-continental Hner-Yuma

There is much room for speculation
regarding the people whose bones are
being exhumed just across the Santa
Cruz, opposite this city. @. Monier,
the contractor, commenced a brick
yard there last March and has since
then in the course of his pursuit, un-
earthed human bones and skulls in
good state of preservation. They seem
to have been Systematically arranged
in burial, leading to the conjecture
of their belonging to higher state of
civilization than any of the tribes in
habiting the country on the first visit
of the Catholic missionaries. Who
were these people and what were their
habits are questions for antiquarians
to solve. It seems improbable they
were of any existing race since the
skulls, of which dozen or more have
been found, invariably show full sets
of teeth in the most perfect state of
preservation, something extremely
rare in these latter days.-Tuscon Cit

Nepspaper Laws.

The courts have decided that the fol-
lowing is the law as applied to news
papers:
l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scriptions.
2. II subscribers order the discon-
tiuuance of their periodical, the pub
Usher may continue to send them un-
til all arrearages are paid
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from. the post
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tiuued
4. If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher and
the papers are sent to the former ad-
dress, they are responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
OAANN VA AOhAONAA6 c1A ACOfAL LhOLl
uncalled for is prima facie evidence of
fraud.
G. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue taking it otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it and the
subscriber will be responsible until an
express notice with payment of all ar
rearages is sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest one
for fraud who takes paper and re-
fuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription
to run along some time unpaid, and
then orders it discontinued or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused"
leaves himself liable to arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.

An exchange very correctly says:
There is no class of men who give away
from their means of livelihood more
freely, reckiessly and inconsistently
than the publishers of newspapers.
The publisher is a merchant with goods
to SELL His stock in trade is his ad-
vertising space. He should not be ex-
pected to give it away any more chan a
landlord should give his houses free of
rent, or the grocer donate his goods to
anyone who asks for them, yet many
people, who would not ask the gift of a
pound of salt from a grocer or a yard
of ribbon from dry goods dealer, ex-
Pect publisher to give away space

Armed with the necessary extradi-
tion papers sent to Governor Murphy
from the office of Secretary of State
Hay, Sheriff Robert Leatherwood de-
parted for MagdaIena, Sonora, to Sc
cure the body of James Temple who
shot a Mexican on the American side
of the border last month. Temple
crossed to Sonora shortly after the
killing, was captured and put in Jail at
Nogales and later at Magdalena. It
turns out on investigation that the
dead Mexican Aravalla was born in
Arizona, hence the procedure of bring
ing Temple to Tucson to answer the
charge of murder. It is thought the

The officials of the Santa Fe Pacific
railroad company we're surely almost
as we'll pleased as the citizens of Flag
staff when the water was turned on
Sunday night and commenced to fill
the mammoth railroad tank near the
depot at this place, says the Flagstaff
Gem. The railroad company pat in a
temporary three inch pipe to connect
the tank and the eight inch main be-
ing about three hundred yards dis
tant from the tank The flow was suf-
ficient to soon fill several car tanks
besides quenching the thirst of thirty
or forty of the company's locomotives.
It was certainly boon to the railroad
and we believe the officials appreci-
ated it.

Newspapers claiming to advocate
Democratic principles are very short
sighted to permit themselves to be
drawn into the discussion of territor-
ial expansion by the Republicans who
invite new issue that they hope will
overshadow and weaken the cause of
free silver coinage. The acquisition of
the Spanish islands accentuates the
need of silver coinage for the United
States The principal, and in fact, al
most the only money in circulation in
the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba
is silver and the supply is really mad
9quate TO the demands of business.
The question of money for these is
lands is one which congress will have
to meet and the practical solution of
which is to be found in the generous
coinage of silver, in doing which we
would be employing a home product
and enriching our own people, not
alone the silver producers, but the
wage earners in almost every industry
throughout our broad land. In the
United States proper there is not sill
yer enough in circulation for the con
venient transaction of business and all
that our mints could coin would be
readily absorbed into the channels of
commerce. The Democratic party
stands pledged to the Chicago plat
form, of which the silver plank is the
chief, and on this platform we will
stand in 1900. Silver is the issue

The position that agriculture gives
the United States is one of more com
manding influence than could be de-
rived from armies or navies. As gen
eral proposition we are feeding the

of our grain and meat much distress
if not actual suffering would ensue.

The Republicans have majority in
both branches of the fifty-sixth con

of the war tax until 1900. The Ding

it will need the aid of the war tax to

The Presidents Speeches.

The speeches President Mckinley has
made during the last few days to the
people who have assembled in various
states to greet him give little comfort
to the men who thought their outcry
might induce him to shape a policy of
retrogression and cowardice that could
be turned against him in the next ma
tlonal political campaign. In Pennsyl-
vania this week he made a speech to
the returned volunteers of thai state
that very emphatically proves that the
president is not one who turns his back
upon a march once begun, simply be-
cause the way is difficult, and laggards
in the march of progress and towards
in the country cry out to intimidate
him. Said the president:
Peace brought us the Philippines by
treaty cession from Spain. The senate
of the United States ratified the treaty.
Every step taken was in obedience to
the requirements of the legislation. 1t
became our territory, and is ours, as
much as the Louisiana purchase or

OF the people Of the islands disputed our
lawful authority, and even before the
ratification of the treaty by the Amer
lean senate We're attacking the very
forces who fought and secured their
freedom.
Spain was still in possession of the
remainder of the archipelago. Spain
mad sued for peace. The truce and

Kindness was reciprocated with cruelty,

be no useless parley-no pause until the

lished. The misguided followers in re-
bellion have only our charity and pity"
In another address President McKin-
ley said:
There has been some doubt in some |
quarters respecting the policy of the

harm in stating it in this presence.

A Princely Public Possession.

The court of private land claims did
a good days work for New Mexico
when it brushed aside the cobwebs that
had darkened the title to S43, 259 acres of
government land that has been known
as the Socorro grant. The claim that
this land was a private grant has long
retarded the growth of Socorro county
and prevented the settlement of that re-
gion to a great extent. The clearing up
of the title in this instance alone and
restoration Of the land to the public do
main would in itself be sufficient justi-
f1cation for the establishment of this
most excellent judicial tribunal. The
tract includes much fine land that will
be available for settlers when the SUI
preme court of the United States affirms
the Judgment of the land court, as must
be n with the present lack of evidence
that any grant was ever made Of this
property. The tract has sufficient area
to give a homestead of 100 acres to each
OF 800 citizens. While it may not all be
available for agricultural uses, for lack
OF Irrigation and other reasons it is all
good for stock purposes, and upon much
of 1t forty acres would be sufficient for a
productive farm for a family.
or course, under existing laws the
people of the villages and farmers To-
Gated upon the territory affected by the
decision who have possessory rights
can make their titles good by filing
claims for small holdings. The rest of
the vast tract will be open to settle
ment under the United States land laws
or by selection and sale through the do
nations made by congress to the terri
tory.

Around Pennington.
Durango Herald.)

The country is very pretty around
Pennington, N. M. The land slopes
gently to the water courses, the town
being situated near the junction Of
three rivers, the La Plata, the Animas
and the San Juan. There seems to be
miles of orchard, and for once one can
have all the trees that he car possibly
desire to gaze upon. All bitches, too, for
that matter, if ones taste runs that
way. The writer of this article doesn't
happen to appreciate that form Of love-
liness. Still, even if they are not pretty,
and are apt to disturb ones equilibrium
while driving, they are useful, and
that's more than W. can say of every
thing. There are some things that are
neither useful MOI ornamental.
About half a mile out of Pennington
there is an avenue of weeping willows
and tall poplars that excited my admi-
ration. Leaving that, the road winds
around by orchards whose trees drop
their boughs yer the road. Most of the
buildings are brick-there are very few
adobe houses.

The Kentucky Contest.

Ex-senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
IS making many speeches in the state,
where he is a candidate for the United
States senate, and in doing so appeals
TO Democrats upon tariff and national
issues, telling them that if Kentucky
goes Republican this year the Demo-
Gratis are not living who will see it go
Democratic again. The object of the
senator is to induce Democrats to whom
Goebel is odious to vote for him. any
way, instead of for the other Demo-
cratic candidate for governor who mas
been nominated, because the %independ-
ent element of the party refuses to
sanction the trickery of Goebel in Sc
curing the nomination when he was not
the choice of the majority of the party.
me opposing element in the party,
whose nominee is Ex-Governor John
Young Brown, are making the cam
palgn solely upon an anti-Goebel issue
and the merits of their strong and up
right candidate.
In the last Kentucky election the
Democratic plurality, when there was
no such formidable opposition, was but
1904. The Republicans have an able
candidate, and are willing that the
campaign shall proceed, so far as their
end of 1T is concerned, upon national is
sues.
Ex-senator Blackburn says that Bry-
an is as much a candidate Of the Louis
vile convention as either he or Goebel.
AS the presidential aspirant has in
dorsed Goebel, he evidently believes
that unless Kentucky goes Democratic
this year he will the second time lose
the state.

Colonel Bryan told nc one why he
was headed for the Pacific coast other
than to say that he was going for a rest.
The object Is a laudable one, and while
the tired colonel is resting the public
will get a period of placidity. But for
Bryan to think any one, even himself,
would get tired by silver talk is such a
surprise to the public the suspicion
arises that the Nebraskan may not in
tend to end his journey at the Golden
Gate, and MAY be headed for the Philip
pines to cheer the dropping spirits of
Aguinaldo by assuring him that if the
dictator will only not turn loose his eye
lid hold for awhile longer a Bryan ad-
