Mr. Foraker's Pooling Play. The pooling bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Foraker, of Ohio, is in intended - tended intended to meet the objections to pool pooling - ing pooling which were raig§4 by the Supreme Court in its decision of the Trans-Mis- I souri Freight Association case. To the Inter-State Commerce Commission it j control over all pooling arrange- I ments, that body being required to dis disapprove - approve disapprove them when convinced that I they would result in unreasonable rates i unjust discrimination or insufficient | service to the public. It is obligatory i on the Commission to investigate the j operation of any agreements that may | be made, and nullify them if they deem j such action expedient, the railroads, of j course, having the subsequent right of appeal to the courts. The right to ap approve - prove approve or disapprove means that the roads can take no step in the division of their business and the regulation of their rates without the sanction of the Commission, that body being given con control - trol control over joint traffic or pooling simi similar - lar similar to that it now exercises over ar arrangements - rangements arrangements between the individual lines and their patrons. In other words, the combinations may make arrange arrangements - ments arrangements for exchange of business us the individual roads now do, but it will be a question what rates the Commission will sanction. Mr. Foraker's bill is largely a dupli duplicate - cate duplicate of that introduced in the last Con Congress - gress Congress by Mr. Patterson. That there is considerable public sentiment behind it w r e need not say. We do not believe that the people of the country desire to see the railroads bankrupted by the numerous repressive measures that have been brought to bear against thenl, and if it be possible that they can pros prosper - per prosper under a system of legalized com combination, - bination, combination, subject to the scrutiny of the Government, vve think they should be allowed to combine as the Foraker bili would allow tneav to do. It is note noteworthy - worthy noteworthy in tins relation that the more iuiiuential newspapers in all parts of the country are expressing vigorous ' dissent from the decision of the Su Su: - : Su: preme Court in the Trans-Missouri ' ease; It is oM thing to check'the rail railroads. - roads. railroads. It is quite another to drive ' them out of business. - Brooklyn Eagle. i The Law as to Contracts. The Supreme Court has construed . he Anti-Trust Act, and held that it ma\ apply to any contract; but there is - notning m the opinion of Judge Peck Peckafcai - afcai Peckafcai to show what contracts the court may hereafter except froth the Opera Operation - tion Operation of tbft statute. All we know now is that Congress has suddenly made a whole mass of contracts, under which 1 which toe railroad badness of the country is carried on, criminal. What .ve want to know is, how, under this decision, business can be carried on at ili. Almost everybody in business i wants to oi&tre Inter'fc'iato contracts; is it too muen for the humble citizen to isk respectfully that be may be shown now to do it without running the risk i of a year in jail? - New York Evening Post. The effort new being mode t.o eon eon> - > eon> soild Jid tilt* H'ASCOtt and lacsou laud offices at Phoenix is simply another in .-tanee that Phoenix wants the eartn. We suppose the next move will be to abolish the present county seats of the different counties and build couri houses : n Phctmim- and direct count.; governments from the capital. The iand cilices should not be moved. The office at Tnososi is centrally located with reference to the unparented lands of southern Arizona, and the Prescott office is just where it should be for northern Arizona. It would cost too much for the people proving up on their homesteads to go to Phoenix, from either Graham, Cochise or Pima counties, the counties wherein lay ah ?ho unpatented lands, except Yuma. In Graham county, there are yet huu- j dreds of homesteads to be patented , Let the land offices alone; they areaii | light where they are, except that they do not furnish any revenue for Pbce- | u.x. - Graham Guardian. Expert miuing men and some pros- j psetors have said that gold in paying j quantities could not exist in the Short j Horn mountains because the forma formation - tion formation was not favorable; many were so prejudiced that they would not locate 1 ground that showed free gold. It re re| - | re| mained, therefore, for Mr. Etchenberg : I to discover the rich gold mine the King of Arizona, confirming the statement ! of .Solomon that "gold is where you find it.'' This discovery was no doubt due to | the kean eyesight of Mr. Etchenberg. j He saw the gold in the rock and was i - o excited that he did not discover that it was not a quartz rock, but just coin- i mou rock that maybe found any piece, j The formation theory being exploded, j let the prospector adopt a new policy ! 1 and break and examine every rock i 1 when proruecthig ia a mineral bearing j 1 country; whether the country resern- j 1 bles other localities or not. - Cor.

Moore of Clinton, N. Y., brought suit to recover $75 damages from Professor A. D. Morrill of Ham Hamj - j Hamj ilton college. The plaintiff says i rof.

The big majority of rauge cattle from northern Maricopa, southern Vavapai and portions of Gila counties, which ti e sold to shippers to be shipped from points in this valley are sold by weight, and by so doing, the cattlemen get con considerably - siderably considerably higher prices than in other' sections; where the cattle are sold by the head. A bunch of cattle which came into the valley yefetefdzy froffi northern Maricopa were in good conu! don, the threes of which bunch will et-sily average a 1,000 pounds in weight, and at the price sold so per pound - makes a very comfortable fig figure - ure figure for a range steer. About two weeks igo a bunch was brought, ddwfi f rom ihe Cave creek section, in which well ihe cattle of A. J. Hoskin;of his bunch it was estimated that fully 60 per cent were yearlings, but his cattle averaged uim $18.50 per head, with only 40 per cent of twos and threes.

A story is afloat, says the Mohave | Miner, to the effect that the killing of j white men by Ah vote was prearranged by the tribe. The Fiutes certainly ! knew the morning of the outbreak that j something was going to happen, as each ; one who had been working around the canyon did not show up a.ud the others bad taken to the hills. It is said that the Indians want to drive the whites away from El Dorado canyon, and to do it without drawing government troops into that country it is agreed tffkt one ludiau will go out and kill all the whites he can. If ho makes his escape ! he will beh<sap big Indian. If the whites I go on the war path the tribe will go out ' and kill the Indian. This will satisfy j the whites. A few well arranged for for: - : for: ages will soon frighten the whites so j badly that they will pack up bag and i baggage and leave the country. It is ! 1 now asserted that Htevo, one of the . 1 Piutes who shot Ahvote, has been se selected - lected selected to locate a number of whites j I and kill them off.

In ctse another Iu Iu; - ; Iu; dian goes out there is sure to be a band | ! of southern Piutes trimmed up for a ! trip to the happy hunting ground. No j "heap bad Indian" will avail.them. The I whites want peace, even if- it has to be j I gained by exterminating every redskin . in the country. Governor McCord, in an interview iu the Washington Times, presages for the territory as follows: "I believe Arizona has a great future before it. Compare for a moment conditions that existed iu Arizona twenty years ago with those existing now, and then contemplate what iu all probability, they will be twenty years hence, aud it requires no i great stretch of the imagination to see ; i rich and prosperous people and a | great and powerful state.
