REGISTRATION LAW.
Every Voter Must Be Registered sn..
 This Year


 This Tear.
 The Territorial Legislature of Arjz-r, at its session of 1881, by an Ao. arD,,r.I March 12, 1881, amended the Ess,.,., Law so as to read:
 "No registering officer shall be Der. mitted to place any name upon ,Is register after twenty 20J days before sp election
 ''In the year 1882 and every two year, thereafter, thete'shall 5e an entirely nsv registration"
 See act No. 91, statutes 1881. page Ifg Under this amendment the great re,. ister of 1882 was compiled and, althouSb the widest publicity was given to tLs fact that 1t was necessary for every qualified voter to register anew before he could exercise the right of suffrarr many neglected to do so thinking then former registration sufficient, and thy were therefore denied that sovereign privilege.
 During the present year and up to a date twenty days previous to the cOup'v election, 1t will be necessary for eyery voter in the county to re-register in the office of the county Recorder. This act must be done personally by the voter and not by proxy, and 1t Is matter ot such importance that no one should neglect to perform that duty at as early a date as possible, in order to be sure that there be no error. as sometimes may occur during the rush at the last moment.
 Let it be distinctly understood. that EVERY person, to be entitled to vote in the coming election, must have bis name placed upon the Register THIS YEAR, no matter how long he has resided in the Territory or how often he may have previously voted here.

SOME Of tle great reformers Of the ! day are and many O. the past were, men
 who have been steeped in crime. The red
 and blue ribbon r~formation which spread al over th.s country few years ago was successfully carried forward by
 the reformed drunkards. None could
 tell the tale of sorrow and degradation
 50 well G5 they, ami the boys came into
 the reform camp like chickens go home
 to roost. Though many Of these reform
 movements lacked the elements of
 perpetuiiy, they did much good in many
 respects. and saved many man from
 himself. The life long moral man gets
 no credit, nor does he crave any, for
 living ID to tho high standard of moral
 fly; 1t is the man who has revelled in
 vice and suffered the plns of tortured
 mind and body who throws up the
 sponge and pr.strates himself upon the altar of morality who receives the homage of fine pa5.ic. He gains the ear 0, ihe pu5li' at once and the agitation is st oI foot. Great re- formatory ,21vcmeHls which have achieved success have been led by such men, aided, oi course, by others who stood b. lending al to support the weak, but enthusiastic advocate. No man uPholds vice. save as pleasure or profit. Men seek places where inc worst forms of vice are peTPetrated | without committing a crime, save by their attendance giving the proprietors and inmates or employees to understand by such at!endaucc that they eounten- ance such evils.

THERE is ju5s now fight going on between the editor Of the Star and Mir.
 Levin, the proprietor of the Park iaeatcr. We men;ion tLis because a number of persons have asked why we dil not take Q hand in it. First, ]. is DO. our fight. We have DO grievances, no reyenges to gratify. It Is n personal matter between the editor of the Star and the pgop1iator Of the Park. That it is an immoral place as many other places in the city are, no one pretends to deny. Outside of the evil tendencies and the influence it has on the younG, the place Is kept ns quIet, perhaps as any place of its character anywhere. If It is Q genuine reform movement why stop at the Park? There are other places where the talent of the reporter can exercise itself as well as upon the Park. Why single this institution out? Why not include ali places of vice. in and out of the city? The field Is large and it will give the editor a Summers work. Come, if you are really sincere as q refo.mer; dUn's stop at the Park bu, take the rounds. The high moral ground which our con- tempoTa 7 has assumed, fl genuine, is very commendabIe, but as a mosalist be should not condemn one wee aud praise auoihsr or i. will have bad effect, and people will think the editor is not sincere

The Courier does not hate the Indians of Arizona. On the contrary, it has kindly feelings for the good ones. They are as good. If not better, than whites who will nip school aud other moneys, lie about their neigbbOrs and raise Cain generally. For this reason IL wants the Indians taken out ot ;he Territory and allotted lands in the Indian Territory, where they would be with others of their race. Arizona Is not a suitable place in which to experiment with Indians It IS too mountainous. Almost every sec- tiOn of IL is mineral bearing and miner als are alWays coveted by whites, so that there Is, at almost any time, danger of trouble. We do not fear trouble SO long as General Crook is allowed to remain with us. Indians have too much fear of his ability to whip them, and too much respect for his fairness in dealing with them, to kick up a row. which IS, We fear, sure to come whenever he shall be taken away. Knowing these assertions to be facts, knowing how whites banker after the coal, timber, etc., of the reservations, the Courier believes m taking Indians to where they will not almost every day come in contact with white settlars.- Prescott Courier.
 The Courier ls coming around all right. This position the CITIZEN has al- ways occupied. that of removing the Indians from the Territory to the Indian Territory. We a-e glad the CITIZEN and Courier can meet once in a life time on common ground.

The Fashionable Brire Of New York.

Fashion, ever seeking to cscapi from the multitude, has fixed it's eve sigui- fcantly upon Riverside Park, l1d even with the June roses of the pr5sen year, if we look for 1t, We shall doubtless find lt there in full feather.
 This charming suburb has many and varied claims upon our notice. It k not only a delightful resort because of it's views and wales, its sunny slopes and sequesieTed dells, it's trees and flowers. and it's thr5 mile drive on the crest of the bluiT-a drive already pronounced by more than one distinguished foreigner, "the finest drive ID America. and perhaps in the the E0rld"-but it represents a territory of great historical and romantic interest. It's exact situation is between Seventy second and One Hundred and Thirtietk streets occupying the wooded border land or precipitOus bank of the Hudson. with varying breadth of tlrea or four hundred feet. It vas naturally tract of land Of the rarest beauty. The highest TGrt is from seventy Co one hundred and forty feet aboye the river. Thus the drive commands the most of river v.eas. and oyerlooks even the park itself.-Martha J. Lamb. in the Nanhattan for July.

We are of the opinion, however, that it was not the best time ot year to exhume these bodies. Earlier in the year when the temperature was nOt SO hot as it is now would have been better, but that part has been done and the fears of the people having been aroused We simply ask the health officer to dis- infect the grounds.

About TheaterS.

A Republican seeks the columns Of the Star to veniilate an article on tLt burning question of the Park theats- and my attendance there.
 Having read some plays in early youth, my desire was increased to see them represented on the stage, and my first opportunities were to see Hackttt Tn Falstatf, and Booth in Richard III.
 When Jenny Lind came to America 1t was my fortune to be in New York and to hear the pure Swede in Castle Garden, and afterwards in Kentucky.
 When Nillson first sang in Birming ham the Mayor of the city hospitably provided seats for myself and party. There were five hundred performers on the stage.
 Old John Sinclair (the father of Mrs. FOrrestl was the first fine Scotch ballad ist of his time, and sang in Nashville forty years ago.
 In Paris during the great exposition the opera was rife, and Schneider iu Belle Helene" (Helen of Troy was in her glory. None of the diyines attend ing the exposition declined to hear Schneider.
 Patti is an American pet and an Eu- ropean favOrite. Not of the Methodist persuasion exactly, but the Ecknowl- edged queen Of song.
 One of the most graceful acts of Lin cOln's life was to invite Hackett to Washington to play Falstaif, as he sad SO innCcsntly, he had read the plays. but had never seen them performed on the stage"
 And Republican must remember that Abraham Lincoln was assassinateI Tn theRter. and that General Logan once belonged to q band of negro min strels.
 The Puritanical hypocricy which would drive the performances on tEe stage from pubic patronage is uos adapted to the atmosphere of Arizona, or any other liberal country.
 The stage Is the reflex of the minds of the people, and from the time that Miriam tuned the harp and sang ,he delivery of Der people to the last sylla- ble of recorded time the stage will rep resent the sentiment of the times m which people live.

 Talks with prominent Democrats who are now in the cl:y making preliminary arrangements for the great assembly, and laying wires for the prominent can didates, develops the fact which has heretofore been pretty well understood, that the sage Of Graystone was nearly the unanimous choice of the party, and his emphatic withdrawal from the race has found the leaders all at sea. Hence Mir. Tilden's declinatiOn has started a wonderful activity in the ranks of all the various bcoms, and tt is now c1nieciured that the struggle over the nomination will be long continued and more or less acrimonious.
 "Ihe first cousiGcrati. n," said d lead ing Democratic manager today, "is a candidate who can carry New York. Cleveland could sweep the Empire State because he would naturally attract to him the very large independent Re- publican vote, at present disgruntled over the BlaiDe-Logan ticket"

CHICAGO, June =, 1SSi.
 The iubilant Democrats are making
 active preparations for their convention
 which opens in this city July sth. AL
 though it was supposed tue convention
 chamber had been made us nearly per
 feet as possible before its occupancy by
 the Republican convention the latter
 meeting developed many grave faults
 which the Democrats will eudeaTor to
 remedy and an architect has devised
 plans for ealarging and improving the
 hall in accordance with the views of tine
 local Democratic committee. First it
 will be made safe. The uproar Of the
 Republican convention during the rom-
 mating speeches of Thursday night was
 so great that few persons heard the
 crash of timbers near the platform and
 probably only one or two besides the Sergeant-at-arms and NIT. New under stood its cause. The truth was the enormous weight of the thousands of people packed iR the east gallery had sprung the great supporting beams oyer six inches. Mir. New at first determined i as quietly as possible 10 clear the | galleries, but, architects being sum- | moned, they feared that any announce ment of the danger would result in
 uncomfortable panic likely to 5e ac- companied by frightful loss of life
 And, indeed. as all the people who
 could possibly be crowded into the
 gallery were already there, there was a
 chance that the danger might moi iG-
 crease. Hence, ;he architects, though scarcely believing i. themselves, as-
 sured Mir. New that tie arches from
 which the galleries hung would give
 even an inch or two farther without
 breaking. Few people, however.
 imagined that while thsy cheered and
 sta nped at burst of elOqueuce from an orator or ieered at some new Gissen- , tion in the district of Columbia Gclega- l; tion, woTkmen were quietly tightening up the supports of the galleries lest the I whole thing should drop and the great i convention hall become scene ot Ges- ! truction.

COMING EVENTS.

In view of the approaching Demo cratic convention at Chicago to better determine who the probable nominee will be, the Rev. Thomas Green has had fifteen samples of Chicago whisky, pur- chased at different saloons, analysed, and gives the result as follows:
 The first sample, was bought on liar rison street. near Fifth avenue. It was purchased as rye whisky. Here are its ingredients: Sixty-fiye per cent. neutral spirits, essence Of lime or concentrated rye, the rest water mixed up with glycerIne, colored with burnt sugar and cleared with arsenic enough tO kill n one pint. A bottle of gin from Fourth avenue, near Polk street, contained be- sides neutral spirits some tUrpen,ine and blue vitrol. 4 bottle of bourbon contained sulphate tincture, chronic acid, arsenic and fusal oil. That was 40-year old Kentucky whisky. X bottle of 1870 ccgnac, which cost S6J0, was prepared of alcohol and water, burnt sugar, favored with spirits of cognac ether. sulphur, and arsenic to make Il sparkle.
