Senator Lusk should direct all his time and attention to railroad batting. His effort to create judicial circuits and to fix times for holding courts therein have terminated disastrously in many instances. His work of the session of 1903 along that line was knocke ed all to pieces by the Supreme Court. We have another record Of his more recent performances by de- cision of the Supreme Court declaring certain things in relation to the hold ing of Chiffon Circuit Court unconsti- tutional. Verify profound consti- tutional lawyer and who seeks to reg ulate everything in sight and hearing ought to be able to fix the time of holding court.

He has during his long career been heard in concert and opera in the chief cities of Europe and in Australia and South tieth year as public singer and was warmly praised by the London press as Britain's greatest baritone.

That General Hancock was not alto- gether in error in saying in 1880 that the 'tarif was a local issue" has re- ceived verification by the introduction of bill by MT. Clark of Florida, plac- ing a tariff of ten cents per pound on Tinted and four cents per pound on seed cotton of the Egyptian or long staple variety. Of course such a prop
 osition, if carried out, means exclu
 sion, and is not whit different from the exclusion program for so many other articles covered by existing tGriff laws. There can be no common ground for tariff reduction among Democrats if every Representative seeks to keep out importations of articles of growth or manufacture of his immediate con stituency. ..

SANTA FEE SUES FOR TRAIL

Agitation has been begun again by the Santa Fe e-railroad company in an effort to oust R. H. Cameron and secure the opening of the Bright Angel trail leading down into the Grand Canyon from the Santa Fe hotel, which stands on the brink, and is visited each year by thousands of tourists. Cameron has been in possession of the trail for years and has collected a toll of $1 from each tourist going into the Canyon. The railroads claim is that Cameron has no legal right to make this collection and asserts that the trail belongs to the forest reserve and is subject to control only by the government.
 Cameron claims possession hy an act of the Arizona legislature, which. SO far has never been approved by congress. Should Cameron be busted by the govern ment as a trespasser on . forest reserve, the Santa Fe has expressed it's readiness to maintain the trail as free highway.
 The Bright Angel trail bill" precipitated a bitter fight in the last Arizona legislature. The whole power of the Santa Fe railroad was brought to hear to prevent the paeeage of the bill, but the bill passed both housos and went to the governor. Governor Kibhey promptly vetoed the measure on advice direct from Washington hut Cameron and his friends secured the passage of the bill over the governors veto and it became a law, giving him the right to collect tolls for another two years.

THE ALBUQUERQUE FAIR

Albuquerque. N. M.. Sept. 13- Bronco busting has always been one of the star attractions with the New Mexico territorial fair. Dur ing the last two years this feature dear to the heart of every true westerner. has been allowed to lapse, but for the fair which opens in Albuquerque, October 7,h, it if to be made one of the big features
 The association has offered large purses for riders who know how; good outlaw horses have beer secured. and there are enough horses to give every rider plenty of work
 An exhibition of bronco busting will be given at the fair grounds every day during the week. and the attempt will bring out the best riders of New Mexico and Arizona
 The correspondence at the fair association office shows that the interest in this contest is very deer among the boys on the range.
 Governor Curry should receive the support of every thoughtful man and woman in connection with his effort to awaken wide spread interest in the history of New Mexico.
 The governor has called the Coronado Commemorative Con- vention to be held in Albuquerque, Wednesday,, October 9'h, during the territorial fair. His procls m- ation calling this convention sets forth it's purpose, and should ht read carefully hy every citiz-n who has the interest of New Mexico al ] heart.
 The early history of New Mexico is an inspir ,tion. and the governor is to be congratulated on the move ) ment he has inaugurated of widen ing and deepening the popular ] interest in that history.

A HOP JOINT ROW

On Tuesday, last. a case was heard in Justice Langin's cour, which proved to be quite refresh ing One Carmilito, a demi monde. was arrested for assault with a dangerous weapon, upon a Mexican consort of hers.
 From the appearance of the Mexicsn's face it was evident that some one had performed a severe carving. The woman claimed she did not do it, but from circum- ata ncee it looked as if she did. The part mostly in her favor was her claim that she had previously gone to the officials of the town for pro- ktection from the man. but was offered none. and that he attacked her. in a drunken condition. with 8 knife which she gra bbed from him The quarrel took place in one ot the we'll known opium or "hol joints' which have, for long time been known to infest our town Several Chinese and other witness es were called. but none seemed very willing to expose the secret: of their haunt.
 After the hearing the woman was discharged.
