NO WONDER.

It is stated that secret meetings have been held in Prescott looking to the drawing of party lines in the com ipg municipal election. Is is also stated that Republicans nave held these meetings. 1t does seem little early for the believers in high protective tariff and those who belieev in tariff fer revenue only or absolute free trade 10 lock horns over city election in Prescott. Truly, it would be tenn. pest in teapot. Should the issue be forced, there is fine chance for some things to be said, for if there is a spot on earth more thoroughly corpor. ation ridden, muzled, thTottled, buck. ed and gagged and raped on the pub lie highway than is Prescott, we would like to have it pointed out to us.- Prescott Courier.

disposal of mineral rights by lease only"
 The evident object of the proposal is that of subserving the coal resources underlying pubic lands, but if such a notion were to bo applied to all inc minerals, we should shortly expect to see a supcrheated agitation that would put the forestry question out in the cold, largely through the fear which the locator of a precious metal mine might have of losing his rights through the arbitrary dictation of the govern ment. Aside from this possible con. ,ingeney, there is little that n leaser from the government could lose in tne way of rights, provided he were to maintain the integrity of his lease. The value of lode claim is in the privilege of exploiting it; when n de- posit of ore is exhausted, the ground is, in general, worthless. For the same reason, there could be no advan. tagc to the nation in changing the method of disposing of its mineral lands from a direct sale to a lease, for the ultimate destiny of an exhausted lode claim is abandonment, any way you put it. Besides, the metals are destroyed in consumption, as in the ease of coal.
 We think that this little item in the Associated Press dispatches is a false alarm, if it has any bearing upon pre- ei0us metals mining.
