The Wade court of inquiry
was supposed to have been com
posed of men of more than or
dinary intelligence, but they
were not astute enough to get
on both sides of the fence with
out exposing their position, as
the following extracts from
their final report will show:
1.-The meat purchased for the
army was the meat of commerce;
both kinds-refrlgerated and
canned-were such as is well
known in both hemispheres as
commercial articles, of which
there is and has been very
large consumption not only by
the trade generally, but by the
United States navy and by the
armies and navies Of Europe. "
The court can but character
ize the action of the commissary
general as unwarranted and
reckless in that he ordered the
purchase of such enormous quan-
titles of food that was practi-
callv untried and unknown, and
the court so finds. "
The court would have done
we'll to have hired a cheap boy
revise their report before max
ing it public.

Open the mills and the mines

"Open the mills and the mines
rather than the mints,'' was
William McKinley's slogan in
1896, says theI5Tucson.Star. The
mints remain ID closed to silver,
and now the trusts are begin
ming in terrible earnest to close
up all competing mills and mines
and to, consolidate all produc-
tion and distribution in the man
agement of a very small num-
Der of men. Next year the re
publican candidate will be glad
to talk forcible annexation or
anything else rather than the
mills or mines. The trust closed
and controlled mills and mines
will be a sore subject at the

The meanest man in Kansas,
according to an exchange, lives
at Centralia. He put porce-
lian egg in the nest of an ambi
tious hen, and found that the
eggs she afterward laid were in
creased in size; then he put a
goose egg in the nest, and the
aforesaid hen laid an egg just as
large. He was SO well pleased
with the scheme that he put "a
whitewashed football in the nest
and waited results. When he
went the next time to search for
eggs he found one as big as the
football, but no hen in sight; Sc
curing the egg he saw engraved
on it by hen photography these
words: I'm no ostrich, but [
have done my best.' Later he
found the hen inside the egg.

One of Our local officers who
has been in the country since the
bedrock was laid for the build
ing of Salt river is authority for
the statement that Amado Lu-
cero, who killed the section
boss at Ash Fork, is d relative
of Pedro Lucero. Pedro, it will
be remembered, is wanted for
the murder of the Austrian at
Weaver camp some months ago,
and it is believed that he, along
with Inn0cente Gonzales, who
was gathered to his fathers by
the six-shooter process in the
long ago, played a leading role
in the murder of Fred Stanton
and the massacre Of the Barney
Martin family, as well as the
wholesale bntchery of Cyrus
Gribble and companions. The
Lucero blood seems to be i'm
pregnated with crime and the
very name in this country has
become a signal for suspicious.

Yesterday afternoon Justice
Brewer of the United States
supreme court handed down the
decision of the court in the Bio
Grande Dam ana Irrigat ton com
pany case which was appealed
from New Mexico, where the de
cision was favorable to the Ele-
phanl Butte company.
The supreme court reversed
the decision of the lower COurt
nd remanded the case with in
5truCtiOns to set ASIDE the de
cree of dismissal, and to order
IN inquiry into the question as
to whether the intended acts OF
defendants in the construction
of the dam and in appropriating
waters of the Rio Grande will
substantially diminish the navi-
gability of the. stream within
the limits of the present navi-
gability, and if so, to enter a
decree restraining those acts to
the extent they will SO diminish
it.
The decision of the court is a
signal victory for the Interna-

It is a noticeable fact that
the muchly roasted and defiled
Southern Pacific railroad pays
it's taxes without a murmur,
while every other road in the
territory is striving to evade
payment of it's just tax obliga-
ton. If the other roads would
emulate it's example in this di-
rection they would receive great
er consideration at the hands OF
the people. Every corporation
should be taxed at the same rate
and in the same manner as pri-
vate individuals. Of course an
effort will be made to bring every
railroad into the taxpaying fold,
but the railroads should come
up manfully and face the music.
We do not believe that congress
ever passed an act exempting a
railroad corporation and at the
same time grant them enough
public lands to build the whole
road, and even if they did, we
do not believe that such action
was or is constitutional. We
have always been a believer in
the civilizing influence Of rail
roads, but we are averse to civ
ilization at the present figure.
Let the roads pay up their tax
obligation and gain the respect
of the people. -Mohave Miner

tanned by fire during the big railroaA
strike several years ago. The Cleve-

through " illi0m Inglis, alias Bloom, Il
notorious firebug who was arrested In
this city In 1897. He was jailed here
spon the charge OF firing the Kelly
block on Superior street Bloom
fegned insanity so well that he was
finally committed to the city infirmary.
He escaped from that institution soon
afterward and has never been heard
Of since. When Bloom was hrst ar
rested here he said In the presence OF
several city officials that he was =
deputy United States marshal In Chi
cago at the time OF the railroad strike
and started the fire that destroyed
thousand OF cars and other property.
Bloom was examined by DR.. Stack.
jail physician at the time, who de-
clared that he was not insane.
The Pennsylvania company will at
tempt TO prove that Bloom started the
fire that destroyed It's property and
that he wa not insane.
