Congress and What II Doing.

There is Il general desire to avoid
an extra session of congress. and if
the present one stumps along until
July 20 il may wind up such business
as it will be possible to get through
il. Here are some of the things con-
gress has already practically accom-
plished:
Killed the Nicaragua canal bill and
passed the Panama canal bill.
Killed the bill for a government
cable to the Philippines and decided
not to interfere with the private en-
terprise pledged to breaking the mo-
nopoly.
Passed river and harbor bill ag-
gregating $7O,OOO.OOO.
Passed a public building bill aggre-
eating 100000 900.
Passed an irrigation bill and com
mitted the government to the policy
of reclaiming arid lands of the far
west.
Probably will pass some bill for the
civil government of the Philippines.
Passed many thousands. OF special
pension bills.
Prohibited the sale of oleomarga-
rine as butter.
Repealed all the war taxes, amount
ing to about S7O.OOO.OOO.
Ship subsidy bill passed by the SEN
ate and killed in the house.
Chinese exclusion re-enacted.
Amended the bankruptcy bill. prob
ably.
Appropriated S3GO.OOO for the re-
modelling of the White House.
I,sT Il
ing those of any congress at its first
session excepting war congresses.
What congress has left undone
would make a longer book. but its
sins of omission consist chiefly in a
failure To redeem pledges and a neg
lect To clip the wings of monopolies
by changing practical tariff sched-
ules.
Here are some of the things con-
gress has not done:
1t has failed to relieve Cuba. hav-
ing placed the Cubans in position
where they could not help them
selves.
1t has turned its back on the plan
to provide for the national defense
by epacting a militia law.
1t has refused to pass bill for
general staff of the army.
1t has smothered all the reciprocity
treaties, ignoring the words of the
late President Mckinley: The peri
od of eXcIusiveness has passed"
1t will probably go on record as
being unable to agree on compre-
hensive measure for the suppression
of anarchy.
1t has considered consular reform
as of no Importance.
1t has passed no legislation for the
regulation of trusts, ignoring the
recommendation of the president and
the industrial commission.
1t has set its face against tariff re-
vision and tariff reform.
1t has postponed action on the bill
creating the department of com
merce. which passed the senate.
1t has not placed restrictions of any
sort other than those now in effect
on European immigration.

Trouble Ahead.

On Monday last a delegation of
farmers from the Arriola neighbor-
hood came to the Dolores river and
turned head of water into the
canal that supplies them, after the
headgate had been closed by the water
commissioner. Just what will be done
is question, but 1t is very evident the
matter will not be allowed to rest
where it is.
About an hour after this had been
done the commissioner came along
with the Intention of turning in some
water, as the rain of Sunday night had
increased the amount in the river. A
little later u cOmmftee consisting of
Roscoe Thompson, James Morrison and
G, NJ. Longenbaugh of Cortez, arrived
for the purpose of seeing every ranch
man on the river and requesting them,
or begging If necessary, to give up their
part of the water for few days so that
reservoirs and cisterns might be filed.
This latter proposition would have met
with no opposition from any one.
The water commissioner, Lewis Jar
rett, has worked hard to prevent just
what has occurred and will now be
forced to prosecute. He has tried to be
reasonable with all and at the same
time do his duty, but has met with OPP
position from large number. The
case that will grow out of this incident
will please the residents on the river,
as 1t will decide several questions of
Importance, and if Montezuma valley
loses there are just eight people directly
responsible.

No More Auction Sales OF
Seized Cigars and MesCdI

NOGALES, Ariz. Feb. 13.-An order
has been issued and sent to the custom
house providing that hereafter all
smuggled cigars seized at porss along
the border will be forwarded to San
Antonio to be sold at public auction.
This order applies also to meseal as
none of the liquor seized at this port
will hereafter be sold at any port east
of Fort Worth, Texas.
These orders were issued TO pre-
vent the use of sigar boxes and mes
cal kegs the second time by unscrupu-
lous dealers 1t is claimed that those
persons engaged in smuggling were
In the habit Of buying cigars and mes
cal at auction and filling the boxes and
kegs again with smuggled goods, the
revenue stamps and customs seal ue-
ing kept intact. 1t Is said that one
man in Nogales has sold Mexican
cigars out of the same six boxes Tor
years, but the authorities were never
able to secure enough evidence to con-
vict him of smuggling. Another instance
of this kind can be seen at Arivaea,
where they sell gallon after gallon of
mescal. but make few importatiOns
through the Noga1es custom house
Heretofore 1t has been the custom
to sell at this port at public auc-
ton all of the cigars and mescale con-
fiscated at any of the offices under
the Nogales custom house Cigar and
liquor dealers here have profited by
this opportunity to secure high gAde
Mexican cigars and mescal at a low
figure.

Justice of the Peace to tie the nuptial
knot, for the local ministerial alliance
has passed a resolution in which all
the members agree to perform no mar

AT the meeting at which the resolu-

he hired $3.50 buggy to go into the
country to marry a couple. He received
a 81 fee and had to buy his dinner.
Another minister performed a mar
riage before breakfast and received a
fee of so cents. The couple did not
seem to be in any hurry to depart af-
ter the ceremony. and as the preacher
was hungry he had to invite them to
breakfast. After breakfast the groom
asked the minister for the loan of the
SO cent so he might buy dinner for
himself and the blushing bride.
Last year the Kankee Ministerial AL
lance agreed to marry no divorced
couples unless one of the parties had
secured the divorce on statutory
grounds.

themselves and present 1t to a member.
Both Colonel Herring and Mr. Fin

They were presented with certificates
of life membership engraved on cards

which can be carried In the pocket
Judge Barnes was introduced by E.
