A BILL will be introduced ID the Cali. fornis legislature this winter intlictinE severe penalties upon the purchaser ol votes during an election, and allowip g the purchased party immunity therefor. The argument is that if the penalty also attaches to the purchased voter his tes- timony would criminate himself, and Is therefore beyond reach. As the pur- chaser is the sole tempter and benefici- ary, he is the proper party to suffer. To this proposition there might be added a fine upon the guilty party, a portion of which sum should go to the informer. The corruption of the ballot is a very grave offense, and the most stringent measures of security should be thrown around if

MANY teams, loaded with supplies and men, left the city to-day for the mines in the various ranges of noun tains in Pima county, to relocate claims upon which the necessary assessment work has not been done. In this way many claims are held con- tlnuously in possession of persons who never develop them, and val uable properties are thus oftentimes prevented from being developed and becoming producers. It is a great mis- take for people to locate mining claims by the score when they know it is im- possible 10 develop them. One or two good claims, with the requisite assess ment work done each year. would soon show development that would make val uaole property, and others, working ad- lscent claims, would enhance its value also. A law is needed to prevent the continuous relocation of claims and to compel a reasonable development of those located.

IN admitting the amended complaint
 in the Psul-Shsw constest, Judge Fitzgerald said that 'it there has been any fraud in this election, I want it brought to light; if there has not been any fraud no one is going to be injured by full and free investigation. I am going to allow that amendment, and I sm going to allow you, if it is necessary, to adjourn from day to day for month or two months, to get at the truth of this matter. The truth has got to come out, no matter who if hurt by it." There is no fair minded man in the Territory but will say amen to that sentiment. Let the truth come out, no matter who it hurts. A little shower of truth might have very salutary effect just now and prove of lasting benefit hereafter.

TIE eventful year of 1884 Is ended, and at midnight its record closes. An other annual notch has been hewn by the hand of time and the interval to the grave is shortened by another year. The story of the joys of the old year, and its woes and hsrdships will never be fully told, and much of it will die with the ceasing heart-beats of those whom time has spared to see the new year begin. The clsmor Of the bells ht midnight will herald the infant morn of what? Only a new year with its un- wrought problems and unwritten his tory. All are happy with hope that the new will prove better than the old and that it will bring more joys, more comforts and less woe to the ireside.

IT is pretty we'll settled that Gen. Fl G. Rollins will be speaker of the Legis- lative Assembly. The contest is nar. rowed down between the General sn Judge Porter, but the fact that Maricopa will ask some great favors of the next Legislature will prompt them to give Pima the speakership. General Rollins will make an able presiding officer, and his experience as member of the Coun- oil of the Eleventh Legislative assembly will eminently fit him for that responsi- ble position.

THE Society of Pioneers have held their first annual banquet and they have shown themselves to stIll retain much of the ardor of their youthful days, especially around the banquet table. The Pioneers are doIng good work for Arizona in now gathering the records of their struggles at a time when it was dangerous for a white man to step beyond his own threshold, and the data now being gathered and formulated will be placed on record as the early history of this Territory. As fraternal society too, it possesses excellent features, and it should flourish and prosper and when its burdens fall upon the shoulders of the sons of the brave old pioneers, may the memory of the or1ginstors of the society be adorned with wreaths of affection and pearls of reverence.

Man and Weruau,

In the material affairs of life it
is for the man to take the initiative
and for the woman to second his &C
ton. It is for him to endeavsr to
improve bad conditions, and for her
to make the best Of what she has.
The man who would content him
self with patiently polishing up a
few shabby old spoons when viger-
GUS exertion would give him dozens
more would be mean-spirited, un-
enterprising fool who would never
gain success because he weuld nev-
er deserve it. But a woman who
should leave the spoons she already
has tarnished, and useless, because
unelesnsed, while going out of the
way to add to the amount Of her al
ready neglected possessions, would
be just as far cut on the other side.
A woman who should neglect her
home and children that she might
make out of doors the money she
could save by personal superintend-
ence within would be mistake; but
the man had better 60 and dig his
neighber's field for wages than Civ
ing his time to trimming his own
home bushes and cutting his old
yews into fantastic shapes.

The only thing in which we can

The only thing in which we can

H0 FOR THE WOODS.
Out Of the madding crowd,
Away from Molfish care.

Out Of the madding crowd,
Away from wolfish care,
On the might of white-winged stream,
Away through the July glare;
What hope and promised peace,
In the stretch Of the iron track,
To the th-lands wind-swept lakes,
And its hemlock shadows black.
Cast not look behind
At the cornields, waving black,
Or the white heat quivering DER
The wheat-land's golden back;
And ne'er a backward thought
OF the pulsing, dusty ways,
Where thick walls mesh the sun,
And thrall the burning days.
But on, with deep desire,
Where blue waves lap the shores
And jagged pines keep watch
By tn white beach evermore;
Where Norway columns red,
Lift dusty arches high,
Murmurous as summer seas,
To north-land's violet sky.
There, where no axe hath cleft
In solitudes profound
The sinuous trout streams run,
Darkling the rocks around;
And by some lonely lake
The red deer antlered stands,
Mid Towering lily pads,
Beyond its hoof marked sands.
When evenings sun sinks low,
In deeps Of rose and gold,
When weird looms, shrills high,
In strong fight, swift and bold
When mellaw whip-poor-wills
Make sweet the thicket's gloam,
And through the clear, crisp dusk,
The whizzing night-hawks roam
Then pile the resined logs
Till red flames flush the night,
And showers Of sparks on high
Glow each tall pine alight:
As jest or stories pass
From lip to lip with zest,
Like children out of school
Recline in careless rest.
Then think, in best content,
OF summers quivering heat,
Der field and parching plain,
And the pulsing, dusty street;
Fair CLEANS the forest tent
Against nights starry crown,
And sweet its hemlock couch
As monarch's bed of down.
