State imposes upon money which is loan is in reality borne by the borrower not by the lender; that the lender in fix the rate of interest for the loan will invade add the amount of this tax to market value of the money, and under guise of interest, collect enough from borrower to reimburse himself for amount of the tax." The Supreme Court therefore held that the agreement set forth was unavailable defense; and that the defendants were released from the payment of the interest and that the agreement was in entirety mony with the spirit of the Constitution. California Wines. California will soon lead all nations or tions in the production of wine and brand says Major Truman in a letter to a Chi paper, excepting of course France, and its northern counties are sending out lily red and white wines that only come from 1 to 3 percent more alcohol than vin ordinaries of Bordeaux and the hocks Germany and Hungary, and that these of California are being sold at many of principal hotels and restaurants, whose priors themselves buy in bulk and boast (and are too honorable to adulterate), monstrates that these inviting and perfect proper and harmless stimulants or bovers are pressing their honest way into pufer. From Southern California comes ports and sherries and madeira and one excellent heavy sweet wines, which, we may not yet rank in taste and boo with the imported and manufactured ores are absolutely pure and exceedingly mineral and stimulative. No one who has investigated this matter as I have, and knows positively that not one bottle of French wine in 500 lands in New York has not been sophisticated or tamped with in some insidiously artistic way, nor be ashamed to entertain his guests with wines of America. Apropos, it is a curfact that during the years so many thousands of vineyards of France were destroyed the phylloxera that dandy country sent increasing quantities of wine. The Arizona Kicker.

An Interesting Decision. A very interesting decision was rendered by the Supreme Court of California a short time ago in a local case entitled "Hewitt against Dean." The action was for the foreclosure of mortgage, and the defense set up in the answer of the defendants was the following agreement entered into at the time that the mortgage was given by the defendant to the plaintiff: "For valuable consideration I hereby promise and agree to give credit for two and one half cent of the twelve cents one-half per cent interest on the mortgage note signed by Mrs. Cordelia R. Dean and G. L. Dean, in any favor, dated Oct. 25, 1887, provided that the said Mrs. Cornelia R. Dean and G. L. Dean shall, on or before the 15th day of December of any year after the present and during the continuance of the said note unpaid, present to me proper official receipts showing the payment of all taxes against the property covered by the mortgage securing payment of said note for that year respectively. R.E. Howitt." The purpose of the defense was to snow that under Article 5 of Section 13 of the Constitution of this State, the defenders were released from all obligations to pay any interest whatever upon the note secured by the mortgage. The section of the Constitution referred to provides that "every contract hereafter made; by which a debtor is obliged to pay any tax or assessment on money loaned or on any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, shall, as to any interest specified therein, be null and void." Section 4 of the same article provides that a mortgage by which a debt is secured shall, for the purpose of assessment and taxation, be deemed and treated as an interest in the property affected thereby. The value of the property affected by such mortgage loss the value of such security shall be assessed and taxed to the owner thereof. The taxes so levied shall be a lien upon the property and security, and may be paid by either party to such security. As to this the Supreme Court says: "Assuming that the tax upon the mortgage referred to in Section 5 is a tax against the property" by virtue of the provision of Section 4 that the mortgage is, for the purposes of taxation, an interest in the property affected thereby, and that the tax levied therein is a lien upon the property as well as upon the security, the agreement referred to does not contravene The Arizona Kicker. Glad to Hear It. At the meeting of Common Council on Friday evening All man Jim Hill, who had been drinking much, was roled out of order and was asked sit down. He refused and began an active speech. His Honor the Mayor (who yourself) promptly threw him through a window onto the roof of Williamsa saloon, and for an hour or so the Alderman was supposed to be dead. then rallied; however, and yesterday he able to walk seven feet and get the white bottle out of the cupboard. We are glad to hear that Mr. Hill mending. We are glad he wasn't kill We are glad that he will know better than repeat his performance of Friday even As a town we are somewhat loose join as many other Western towns are, but we it comes down to running the Council it's going to do run just as stick any body of the sort in America, or Honor the Mayor is going to perish by wayside. No Bonus — We have received an impound from a man in St. Louis asking what bacon this town is giving to those who come to start in business. No inducement or financial nature has yet been held out among these talk of such action. Those who at the town over are satisfied that it is a point. As the tax collector was shot week taxes will be very low this year perhaps for two or three to come. We hope the climate doesn't neglect businesses changes twice a day. Land is very cheap The two acres for our private graveyard cost $4 Those who have tried agriculture are buying whisky by the gallon,and they proof enough of the profits Only a saloon has failed during the past three years and that was a mistake There are many natural advantages and no drawbacks,the young and energetic young man who the determination to succeed can't strike better town That is,of course,here could achieve success here selling hymn books not right away—and he might find it bill work as a dancing master.Were refer ordinary business—either by the basic gallon or glass. Better Not Come — We have received letter from Professor De Witt Thompson Chicago asking us if this would be a good town in which to deliver an illustration lecture on Holy Land. We don't think so. We have found three or four days during our residence here who incidentally referred to the Holy Land in conversation but we are satisfied that it is an unknown neighborhood to the great majority.boyds would be sure to get the name up with holy terror and they'd take fear seats expecting something as tall as a gird and as big as a bill to come out and yell We know about what takes in this town and what has to fly after the first act we advise the professor to pass this test about seven miles away.

The value of the property affected by such mortgage less the value of such security shall be assessed and taxed to the owner thereof. The taxes so levied shall be a lien upon the property and security, and may be paid by either party to such security. As to this the Supreme Court says: "Assuming that the tax upon the mortgage referred to in Section 5 is a tax 'against the property' by virtue of the provision of Section 4 that the mortgage is, for the purposes of taxation, an interest in the property affected thereby, and that the tax levied therein is a lien upon the property as well as upon the security, the agreement referred to does not contravene the provisions of Section 5. The agreement is solely on the part of the mortgager, and is in no respect enforceable against the mortgager, and it cannot, under any theory, be said to be a contract on their part, nor are they by its terms obliged to pay any taxes upon the mortgage." The Supreme Court further says: "It is well known that prior to the adoption of the present Constitution it was a universal custom for the mortgage to incorporate into the mortgage a stipulation binding the mortgager to pay all taxes that might be levied upon the mortgage, or the debts secured thereby. This provision engendered a vast amount of litigation, and the collection of this tax was stoutly resisted at all points; chiefly upon the ground that a tax imposed upon a loan, and also upon a mortgage was double taxation and unconstitutional. As a consequence of various decisions of the Supreme Court in this litigation, all money loaned upon mortgage security escaped taxation, and the owner of the land mortgaged was compelled to pay more than his share of the expenses of government. It was for the purpose of obviating this circumstance that the constitutional convention adopted the foregoing provision of Section 5, Article 13, in order that a portion of the taxes might be collected from the mortgages, and that the burden upon the mortgager might not at the same time be increased. The provision thus incorporated into the Constitution was intended for the benefit of the borrower, but it is unnecessary to say that the results expected therefrom have not been realized. All experience has shown that the rate of interest is governed by the inflexible laws of trade, and is regulated by the same law of supply and demand, as that which governs all other articles of commerce, and that legislatures and conventions are powerless in their attempts to change this law; that whenever the State enforces a tax upon a commodity the burden of the tax is borne by the person whose necessities require him to purchase, and not by him who holds it for sale. It is not necessary to add more than to state the proposition that whatever burden the property affected thereby. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.

Secretary Blaine attended a strawberry festival in Washington one afternoon on week, and came near meeting with a serene accident. While approaching a large vilenion in which the greater number of guests were gathered, he stopped on a row elevated board walk running along driveway, to greet some friends. And the ladies was Miss Leiter, who, selecting red rose from a cluster at her belt, fastened it in the lapel of his coat. Raising his hand in acknowledgment, the Secretary S made a mistep, his foot slipped off board and his length was measured on ground. He was at once helped to his feet and in response to anxious inquiries, clared himself wholly unhurt. After moving a short flight of steps the Secreta rested for about five minutes in a little caption room, and then insisted upon joining the company outside, with which he mained some time.

Supervisor District shall constitute a road district; that Supervisor shall be ex-officio Road Commissioner; that sealed proposals shall be received for keeping in order and repair roads, culverts, etc.; that for the purpose of watering roads in any part of the county, Supervisors may erect and maintain water works, and for such purposes may purchase or lease real estate or personal property, the cost of such work and the watering of the roads to be charged to the General County Fund, the General Road Fund, or to the districts benefited; that the Road Commissioner shall inspect the work done on the roads of his district and make written reports to the Board in January, April, July and October of each year; that the Road Commissioner shall receive as such 20 cents per mile, one way, for distance he travels in performance of his road duties, with the understanding that in any one year he shall not receive to exceed $300—the present limit upon road masters; that in his discretion the Supervisors may appoint a Road Inspector for the whole county who shall receive not to exceed the total compensation of the Road Commissioners; that all contracts for building and repairing roads shall be let to the lowest bidder. It has come to be generally acknowledged that water is the most effective and economical agency that can be employed in the maintenance of our public roads, and under the new law it will undoubtedly figure more conspicuously than it has under the old. Thirteen Million Voters. This is the greatest voting nation of the earth. There are more Americans who vote than the voters of any other country; they vote more frequently and elect by popular suffrage a larger proportion of their public officers. In 1888 nearly eleven million four hundred thousand citizens voted for President. This year the total will be not less than thirteen million. Whence comes this increase of more than a million and a half votes? From the people of six now States; from the newly naturalized immigrants; from a million young men who will for the first time record their preferences in a national election. How are you going to vote, young man? known as the Soldiers' Relief bonds and Soldiers' Bounty bonds, were issued by the State, and the proceeds derived from the sale of the bonds were applied to the payment of the claims for bounty and relief. The amount expended for arming, equipment, etc., was paid from money derived from taxes levied upon in the same manner as other State taxes. No part whatever of this money came from the School fund. Neither would it go into the State School fund, in the opinion of the San Francisco Bulletin, in the event of the State being repaid. Section 454 of the Political Code provides that the General fund shall consist of all monies not specially appropriated to any other fund; therefore, this money not having been set apart to any fund, upon its payment into the State Treasury would become a part of the General fund and applicable to the payment of the ordinary expenses of the Government. It is true that the State has paid interest on this money, but it was paid as interest on the bonds issued. It is also true that the State is even now paying interest thereon, but it is only on a small proportion, and is explained thus: January, 1873, all the then outstanding bond indebtedness of the State was refunded and bonds known as the Fund Debt bonds of 1873 were issued, and of this issue there is still outstanding and unpaid about $2,500,000. The Soldiers' Bounty bonds, and the Soldiers' Relief bonds outstanding January, 1873, were refunded, and though some of the new issue of bonds representing the war debt have been paid, there is still a large sum of the war debt represented by bonds of 1873, upon which the State is yet paying interest. The five per cent claim is for five per cent of the net proceeds received by the United States from sales of public lands within the State of California. The amount is $500.000. California is the only public land State which has not received this grant from Congress for its Common School fund. The Enabling Acts for the admission of the public land States contain a provision allowing the State five per cent on the sales of the land to be applied to school purposes. California being admitted without an Enabling Act, no provision was ever made for its allowance of the usual percentage from the proceeds of land sales. We have received a Professor De Witt Thompson of being as if this would be a good choice to deliver an illustrated Holy Land. We don't think we found three or four people residence here who incidentally the Holy Land in conversation, satisfied that it is an unknown and to the great majority. The best to get the name mixed by terror and they'd take fronting something as tall as a giraffe as a hill to come out and yell about what takes in this town to fly after the first act, and the professor to pass this town miles away. A Lender. There are more Americans who vote than the voters of any other country; they vote more frequently and elect by popular suffrage a larger proportion of their public officers. In 1888 nearly eleven million four hundred thousand citizens voted for President. This year the total will be not less than thirteen million. Whence comes this increase of more than a million and a half votes? From the people of six new States; from the newly naturalized immigrants; from a million young men who will for the first time record their preferences in a national election. How are you going to vote, young man? You hardly know how much depends upon your answer to that question. Yet it is in general true that a man remains attached through life to the party which receives his first vote. Those who study the political history of the country will discover that parties have changed but little from the beginning. There have been times of degeneracy and times of revival, periods of timidity and periods of moral courage, years of victory and years of defeat. Through it all the division has been on nearly the same lines, and the aims and methods of parties have not changed. It is, therefore, a mistake to think that in the coming election that man casts a sensible vote who looks merely at the personal character or the personal popularity of candidates. If you vote you must vote for one set of principles or another, whatever may be your intention in the matter. You have more than six months in which to make up your mind. Deliberate, and decide wisely, remembering that you are probably making a choice for a lifetime. Guaranteed Cure.

Willie has to go to Work. Two or three days have now elapsed since Mrs. Frank Leslie and her husband, Willie Wilde, landed in London for the commencement of what will be for both of them an immortal summer vacation. It will be an important vacation for Mrs. Leslie, because before its termination and before she returns to New York an important question will be settled—whether her recent taking unto herself of a husband was or was not a mistake. In one event she will bring Wilde back with her. In another she will leave him behind in London. If she brings her Willie back to America with her in the fall it will be on the clear understanding that he becomes a worker in the Leslie hive. During the years before she married him Wilde showed an earning power of $5000 or $6000 a year in the field of journalism. Mrs. Leslie will insist that that same earning power be brought into play again with a reasonable degree of earnestness. If Willie refuses to do this he will be left on the other side. The five per cent claim is for five per cent of the net proceeds received by the United States from sales of public lands within the State of California. The amount is $500,000. California is the only public-land State which has not received this grant from Congress for its Common School fund. The Enabling Acts for the admission of the public-land States contain a provision allowing the State five per cent on the sales of the land to be applied to school purposes. California being admitted without an Enabling Act, no provision was ever made for its allowance of the usual percentage from the proceeds of land sales. Chile and Peru. Under an arrangement made after the war between Chile and Peru the former was to have the nitrate beds for ten years. Then the ownership was to be determined by a plebiscite, or vote of the people, and the country which won was to pay the loser $10,000,000. The time expires next year, and the question which now agitates Peru is whether Chile will carry out the contract. Mr. Hicks, our Minister to Peru, who has just returned to the United States on a visit, is decidedly skeptical about Chile's keeping faith. He says that Chile receives some $2,000,000 a year as export duties on the nitrate, and that he thinks she will be slow about giving them up, even for $10,000,000. He rather anticipates trouble over the settlement of the question of ownership, in which event Peru would probably get the worst of it again. The Peruvian Government should have no difficulty in raising the money on the security of the nitrate beds, and if she pledges them to capitalists of another nation and Chile then refuses to stand by her agreement there would certainly be a chance for a cause belli. The experience of this country with Chile would lead us to indorse the correctness of Minister Hicka's views. Chile will not surrender anything she gets her hands on unless she is compelled to, and Peru is not strong enough to fight her single handed.

The site taken is a box canyon 400 yards below the junction of Tonto creek and Salt River.
