An Evansville, Ind, paper tells ofayoung lady of that city, who had occasion to be several blocks from the residence of her pare1ts at nine o'clock Tn the evening, and was hurrying home, when she was accnstcd by the son of wealthy merchant of that place who asked her tO take his arm and he would sec her home. She consented, and as they walked along, he made al infamous proposition to her, which frightened her, but she d.d not losc her womans w.t, an d at once consented, but saiG, aN her parents were vet u0 whiting for her return, il would be unsafe to go to her house, and she pro- posed Co take him Co that of a friend of BCrs who could bo trusted In such m ltters.

LEGISLATORS SHOULD BE ON THEIR
 GUARD

There are many bills now pending in the Legislature, and the authors of the same urging their passsgc. It behooyes the close legislator and economist to look we'll into everything tonding to or savoring of extrav- agancc before allowing the same to pass and become part of our laws. After some of these obnoxious measures have become laws ' through the caTelessuess of our legislators, it will then be too late 10 apply remedy. Our Territory, and especially Yavapai coun- ty, is grooming under heavy dent, and check should be immediately placed on the wholesale manufacture of speculative schemes. The people who came here sev- eral years ago have stayed with the Terri tory through thick and thin, have under gone hardships and privations, and are to- day supporting, by paying 31E per cent tax, a careessly managed administrative department, and they demand that economy shall be used. Our legislators should not | vote aye on an unwholesome bill just be- cause his friend gives him nod or a wink. but should then and there denounce any measure tainted with extravagance or founded upon personal motiyes. Inde- pendencc of character should stand boldly to the front with every member under any and all circumstances. The tax payers of Arizona arc not mean in their views of what is right and just, and they are willing to support just and proper laws that may be passed. Roads should be built defective laws epealed--Territorial officials allowed a respectable compensation for their laboFs- a law regulating the use of water for irri- giiing purposes-the office Of Probate Judge should be made elective-the office of Assessor and Collector separated from that of Sheriff, as the oiIicc of Sheriff Of it. self is moro than any two men can attend 10, and then by taking this burdensome duty from the Sheriff, he would have mere time to watch prisoners-a law should he passed making the stealing of COW or a calf punishable by imprisonment for life. Many things can be done by our present law makers which will be of untold benefit to our people, but we would admonish our friends of the Tenth Legislative Assembly to be on their guard, and see that all bun- combe and wild schemes are buried be- meath the sod. We need no speculative big things on paper, and the lawmakers should stand in with taeir constituents and sec that nothing of tue kind shall pass or be- come a part of our laws.

Polysamy in the '. s. supreme Court.

Chief Justice Waite, in delivering the opinion of the Court in the case of George Reynolds, appealed from the Supreme Court of Utah, lays down the doctrine, that while any man may believe whatever he pleases, and practice any religious rite not in con flcr with law, yet he is not justified in q violation of law, simply because he believes the law to be wrong. Otherwise any biga- mist, or other criminal could plead con science as his e-ide to the perpetration of crime, in defiance of law. No doctrine of religious belief must be- made superior to the law of the land, else every citizen would
 become a law unto himself, and Govern ment could exist only in name. Criminal intent Is presumed wnep man, knowing the law, violates it. Reynolds knew he was already married, that he had at least one legal wi5e living; hc also knew that this marriage was forbidden by law, and in con tracing it he is presumed 10 have intended to break the law, and breaking the law IS a crime His oniy defense in this case is a belief that tho law ought not 10 have been enacted. IL matters not that this belief was a part of his religion, Ii was still belief, only, and is no excuse for ihe commission Of crime, or the violation of law. We gre satisfied DO error was committed by inc Court below, and its judgement is affirmed

The Mining Outlook.

Tn, mines of Southern Utah are just now attracting a great deal of attention, arG those of Arizona are are daily coming into greater prominence through the immense yield of many veins along both the gold and silver belts of the last named Territory.

 while the silver belt of thnt Territory will rival the State of Nevada. Gold quartz mining in Arizona is still in its ia;ancy, but the southern Pacific Railroad extcn- sion and the building of a narrow gauge r,,ad from Gila Bend up thTongh tbe rich surifcrous region about the headwsters ot Date preelS and on to Prescott, will give a tremendous impetus to mining operation in the gold belt.
