A Beautiful Legend.

There is pretty story told in connec
ton with the instruction in the manufacture
of fine lace in Brussels. A poor young
girl named Gertrude was dying for love of a
young man, whose wealth precluded all hopes
of marriage One night, as she sat weeping
a lady entered her cottage, and, without say
ing word, placed in her lap cushion, with
its bobbins filled with thread. The lady then
with perfect silence, showed her how to
work the bobbins, and how to make all sorts
of delicate patterns and complicated stitches.
AS daylight approached, the maiden had
learned the art, and the mysterious visitor
disappeared The price of the maiden's lace
soon made her rich, on account of the valua-
BILE patterns, and she was able to marry the
object of her love.
Many years after, while living in luxury
with her numerous family about her, she was
startled by the mysterious lady entering her
comfortable house-ths time not silent, but
looking stern. She said: Here you enjoy
peace and comfort, while without are famine
and trouble. helped you you have not
helped your neighbors. Theangels weep for
you, and turn away their faces" SO the
next day Gertrude went forth with her cush-
ion and bobbin in her hand, and, going from
cottage to cottage she offered to teach the
art she had so mysteriously learned. So they
all became rich, and their country also.

THE MORAL OF IT.
We may moralize as much as we
please about pain; but the fact is,
that we don't like it while it lasts,
and that we want to get rid of it as
soon as we can. Whether caused by
rheumatism, govt, disordered liver,
weak nerves, irregular kidneys, bad
blood, or anything else that is lust
the reverse of what it should be, the
sooner it is out of the system the
happier we are. Whether pain is
the result of imprldence or of acct
dent, or is sent as punishment for
our sins, may be a nice question for
the philosophers to argue; but peo-
pie who are suffering want first to be
rid of the pain, after which those
who are fond of argument may argue
the matter to their hearts content.
Above all theory, argument, and
philosophy, comes the delightful fact
that Browns IRON BIrTERs drives
pain away. Sufferers run no risk in
trying this medicine, the only COM
pound containing iron which carries
no mischiefwith it. Those who have
used it will tell you SO; and you can
try for yourself by buying a bottle
OF the nearest druggist.

The Pending Issue.

| The plain but important issue presented
to the earnest Democrat is whether he is
ready and willing to transfer the executive
power of the State 10 the Republican party.
1t must be steadily kept in view that the
whole election machinery Is mainly in the
hands of the Governor. lie has the appoint
ment of the registers, and in the City of Bal
timore the supervisors of election, who ap-
point all the election judges for the city, and
| therefore practically has it in his power to
| appoint himself all such judges by appoint
| ing superserviceable supervisors. Here exists
| tremendous power for good or evil. Here
| lies, in fact, the whole political power of the
State, and ifthe executive should be unscru-
pulous enough to pervert himself, or allow it
to be perverted to bad purposes, the result
could not rest in doubt. We have experience
ed, during the period from 1854 to 1859 in
the city, when Know Nothingsm was in
power there, what corrupt and unprincipled
men who possess the election machinery can
do; in fact, make themselves absolute masters
OF the city government, and by large MAORI
ties there countervail any in the counties,
and thus become absolute masters of the
State. This was experienced during the
war, when the Republican party determined
to hold the State by force and fraud, and got
the benefit of both under the semblancc of
popular elections. We have not the
slightest security that the Republican party,
when once in possession of it, will not use it
as we know they did. Is it not Il matter al
most Uncertainty that if Mr.. Holton is elected
it will be so used, and with an accu
mulated force, having $4,000 col
ored voters on the registration lists now,
and any number in the District of Columbia
and the adjacent States to draw upon =? The
fact that Mr.. Holton, during the war, got his
seat in the Senate by casting aside the Dem
ocratic vote Of his county, and not counting
one of it, makes the assurance doubly sure
that in elections he is capable of doing any
thing, and therefore not to be trusted with
the machinery of the State. AS things have
improved under the present executive, whose
active and earnest efforts have been devoted
to securing fair and honest elections both in
the city and State, there can be reasonable
hope entertained by every Democrat that his
policy In this respect, at least, will be carried
out by Mr.. McLane if he should be elected =
We have the assurance, Furthermore, that the
Democratic sentiment is overwhelmingly for
this just and upright policy; that we have
obtained a fair registration under this Dem
ocratic administration, and that no effort has
been spared to secure fair election in the
city and have fair count of the votes as cast,
and that with such progress made under a
Democratic Governor, we cannot conceive it
to be in the nature of things that the coming
in Democratic Governor could now be
brought to reverse such course of action"

1t is certainly high time that the cOlored
people of the United States should be con-
WINGED and satisfied that white Republican
bosses, in the North as well as in the South,
do not like the negro nor his company any
further than the ballot box, after this; white
Republican bosses, wrepullers, and machine
gaggcrs will kick the negro out as soon, if
not sooner, than the next one. 1t is also
high time that the negro American declare
himself Independent of all parties, cliques,
Rings, and wirepullers, if he would succeed
The time is near at hand when Republican

The truth of the matter is, the git-edged,
WORKOUT Republican bosses of the old school
don't care to fool too much with the negro,
because he appears to be getting too sensible
and learning too much of the inside workings
of the party. The Republican Administra-
ton bosses, buns, political hucksters, and
worn-out, wirc-puling beats, are of the opin-
ion that the negro will follow and cater to
their wants from now until old Gabriel blows
his trumpet, even if they are i'll treated,
kicked about, and unjustly Disseminated
against by swell-headed demagogues and
their henchmen. The actions of the party
leaders, in and out of the courts, against the
negro especially, during the past three years,
is sufficient proof that there is screw loose
somewhere in the Administrations political
machinery, which requires immediate atten-
ton. The proper way by which the colored
people can secure their rights, protection,
and justice, is to walk, when the time arrives
directly up to the ballot box, free of puzzles,
gags, and brides, and vote independently of

county Of Maricopa, introduced by
Hon. A. d. Lemon. The bill is
quite exhaustive and has been care
fully prepared. 1t provides for
properly tax of twenty-five cents ont
the hundred dollars and per capita
tax Of three dolla rs for tie M Tor
of our roads. The tax is 10 be co..
lected as other taxes of the county
ard distributed to the several road
districts. Road overseers are to en-
ploy enough men, at wages, in th,
months of March and September of
each year to do the work on the
roads, the money to be spent in grad
ing the roads above bitches and irri-
gated fields, SO far as it will go each
year. One fourth of tie fund in
District No. 1, Phoenix not excepted,
is to be used in bridging canals for
two years coming, and as taxes car
not be levied and collected at once,
the Board of Supervisors are directed
10 take from the County General
Fund enough money to bridge in a
durable manner all the public ditch
crossings in the county which have
been accepted as county crossings,
and when the money comes into
District Funds from the new tax it
can be returned 10 the General Fund.
Thus the bill makes it possible for
prompt action in the repair of our
roads, q matter that is of most vital
interest to the county. No money
goes into the hands of road overseers.
The Board of Supervisors at their
April and October sessions will issue
vouchers to persons for work and
material. The law provides that if
persons, companies CT corporations
runR1ng water across public roads
shall fail to bridge the crossing the
roa5 oversecr shall do so and the cost
shall be Zen on the lands, ditch,
etc. No property is to be exempt
from road tax under the new law.

THE Hospital Bill for this county,
which will be introduced in The Leg.
islature today by the Hon. A. D.
Lemon, provides for the Issuance of
bonds to the amount of $1,000. pay
able in fifteen years, bonds to bear
interest at ten per cent. and to sell at
not less than par. 1t provides for
the construction of a hospital of
good brick, lime and mortar, to con
tain ward rooms, kitchen, dining
room, bath rooms, and such other
rooms as the Board of Supervisors
may see fit to add to adapt it to the
purpose intended. The land is to
consist of ten acres, near the city of
Phoenix, and to be fenced. The
whole cost is not to exceed $4,000.
If any surplus fund remains it is to
go back into the general fund of the
county. The building is to be let by
contract to the lowest bidder, and
contractor TO give bonds for an
amount not less than double the
contract price. Mr.. Lemon advises
US that the bill is well guarded in all
its provisions to secure the speedy
construction of the hospital and the
certain application of the money to
that object.

THE Road Bill introduced by HI

THE Road Bill introduced by Hon.
A. D. Lemon We regard as a very
healthy law respecting our public
highways and one that will soon
give US respectable roads and good
crossing. The idea of bridging all
canals and bitches is the only proper
thing to do. Under any other sys-
TEN it is simply impossible to keep
the water off the roads. The bill
will make the tax business for resi-
dents of Phoenix rather a lively mat
ter for the next two years, especially
as our streets are sadly in need of
attention and extra tax should be i'm
posed for their Improvement; indeed
the streets of Phoenix are occasion
ally about as bad section of roads
as can be found in the county. A
matter that should be provided for is
the outlay for tools, their care and
transmission to successors in office;
a somewhat difficult matter TO pro-
vide for. Perhaps receipt of num-
Der and condition of tools from a
road overseer to the Board of Super
visors, when the tools are turned
over to him, would guard the matter.
