Legislative Truisms.

dress ball or two.
 A perusal Of the legislative journal in
 forms us that the Chaplain of the Coun
 Gil failed to put in an appearance, ont
 day last week. The absence of prayer
 must have proven to be a sad aff1ictior
 to the Arizona senators, and particular | ly rough on Bolan.
 Wardwell, of Cochise, seems to be
 deadly in earnest, reminding one of a lighted howitZer tied to the back of a
 buoking mule-there is no telling in
 what direction he may be pointed when
 he goes of. It has been somewhere stat
 ed that a stone tied to the tail of a jack ass will stop his praying, but we fail to see what that has to do with Wardwell. The only trouble with him is that his light is always under bushel. In other words, he is too damned modest.
 Wiley does we'll as president of the SOuAo1t, OuV 10 Id dOOLlllS uIluoI q uCdFy disadvantage, as some others, in being gentleman.
 Rowe makes a frst-class speaker, but is not half the fun that Knapp used to be.
 According to Free Lance," Pat. Ham ilton is furnishing brains for the legisla- ture, in consideration of a possible ap pointment as Commissioner of Immigra- ton. We don't know what the func- tions of that contempla ted office may be, unless they embody a free drink with every new arrival in the Territory. Mir, Hamilton is certainly competent to fill the position.
 Wardweu wants hospital for Tomb stone, and he is not to be blamed for so laudable a craving. However, not in anger but in sorrow, We are driven to ask the short horned bull from the county of cowboys what the the legisla- lure has to do with a Tombstone hospi- tai? Better petition the City Council, and when the hospital is duly finished and the beds all laid, it will be we'll 10 appoint Pat Holland inspector of the male and Dr. Ghiberson of the female Dunbar, of the Republi- can, would sensiblY fill the position of president of the Visiting Board, and Dick Rule, of the Epitaph, would make a | frst-class wet nurse. Then tack on Joyce as treasurer of the concern, and | the coming hospita of Tombstone will | fill page in tho future histo ] ry of Coohise county.
 Marion, of the Courier, with sar- casm worthy of him, suggests that the | members of the legislature visit the | Verdi River. It would be of service to many of them. were their heads put in soak for a week or two, but the waters l of three rivers would afford Bolan no re- lief
 It is asserted by an exchange that | Move Wicks, of the House. is ''rising | young man." It would be a curious | if be wasn't. As a general | rule it requires but slight prov ocation to make any young man rise.
 Before this thing goes much further it | may be we'll to state that, taking advan- age of the absence of the proprietor, the SENTINEL will for a short time tell the | ruth, regardless of consequences. Dur ng said short time the politics of the paper will be Republican, tinctured by Itrong Democratic predelictions, and oraced with Independent irresponsibili- y. The proprietor may not like all his, but he can't get back in time to put 1 he brakes on, and so-everything goes
 Old Laumeister is still pleading at the 'ars of Prescott, and glinting his spec ,aoles at the top card. In the mean ime the penitentiary mourns his ab- ence. If some body would only beat king full" for the old poker sharp, and hen refuse to pay his passage home, it would be an enlarged blessing to this community. We know of nothing he is fit for, but Le looks exactly ike the jack of clubs.
