WHEN the Legislaiure was orgl

WHEN the Legislature was organized each house ordered certain number of newspapers from different sections of the Territory, and gave out that a fair price would be paid for them. At the very last moment the eight Councllmen who wore collars about their necks, headed by the bell sheep of the band, cut down the bills of all far below the cost of the white paper, and this because the press condemned their villanious schemes to swindle the people. These miserable creatures have had their blood, their pound of flesh. Now let them retire to some dismal place, some cave In the bowels of the earth remote from the haunts of men, whose slimy walls are only made acceptable to such creatures by tho eternal darkness tn t surrounds them. There let them share their pound of flesh with Hazards, snakes and creeping things, with bats and owls for companions by day and with their OVID pelucid consciences by night.

 THE Prescott Miner, whose editor was on tue ground and knows whereof he speaks, has this to say of the legislature which it says tried to convene on the 12th Of January;
 Before and since its organlzstion with the hungry crowd that gathered in and forced its presence upon the generous public, trading, scheming and chicsnery has been resorted to by many of the members composing the illustrious thir- teenth.
 There are but few who can go back to their constituency with clean hands. IL has been percentage and divy all through. There are exceptions, but the writer can put his finger upon many whose wealth has been increased by reason of their vote, yes or no. Thank God in his greatness that the end has come. Tax payers must content themselves with the burden heaped upon them, and re- member at the election in 1886 that hon. esty rather than brains IS essential for the safety and reeurity all over the terri tory.

THE South American policy so yigor- ously advocated by MT. Blaine during his short career as Secretary of State, has borne good fruit and made a lasting impression upon the people. So strong have the feelings of the people become Tn favor of the Monroe doctrire that even Mir. Bsyarl does not hesitate to promptly act upou differences arising in Central American States. He has in- structed the United States Minister at Guatemala to make vigorous protests against the proposed action of President Barrios with reference to the forced union of Central American states. While it now looks ss though the efioft of Barrios to unify the States under his leadership would prove a small affair, 1t has been the cause of showing that our own administration IS not going to take "a back seat" when important questions arise on this continent among the Gen. tral and South American republics.

A Senatorial stamp-conector.


 Charles Sumner was one of Americas greatest statesmen, and 1 found him to be one of the kindest men in the world He was an ideal American gentleman. was al- ways polite tO every one, and l never heard him utter a cross or nasty word He had an extensive correspondence and received letters from all parts of the globe. At one time. while l was a page, had a mania for gathering stamps. and as those on many of his letters were very rare. I asked the senator if he would kindly put the envelopes in his desk, so that l could get ther,, instead of tearing and throwing them upon the floor He said he would save them for me with pleasure. and. sure enough, the next day he came to the senate with a large collar 5Ox in his hand He put this in the drawer of his desk and whenever he opened an envelope with foreign stamp attached, he would tear off the stamp and deposit it in the box.
 Several weeks afterward he called me to him and handed me the box, filled with the choicest and most curious collection. saying: Now. if you will empty the box. I will i'll it again for you. And he was true to his word 1 have met hun dreds of eminent men in my life; none, however. more prominent or with more cares to burden or distract their thoughts than this grand senator from MaSsachu- sets; yet l think few of them would. under similar circumstances, have gone to 30 much trouble merely to humor the wh m of boy.

PIMA is essentially grazing nounty and we must look to this industry to settle up our waste places. We have many thousands of acres of the best grazing lands in the Territory, but on most part water must be developed be- fore any use can be made of it. The ex- perience of the past year or two has proved that water can be found in al- most any locality by sinking for it. True, it lies deep in some places, such as Quijotoa, but it has been found much nearer the surface in other places. The Spanish well abodt twenty-five miles west of Tucson is but little over loo feet deep. Robly we'll is less than 15O feet deep, while there are others that range from twenty-five to eighty feet in depth. There are many localities in the western portion of Pima county where water can be found, and we have no doubt parties will soon take hold and develop it, and thus add many thou sands of dollars to the taxable property of the county.

TIE attempted explanation of Mir. Stephens # the rink last night was no explanation at all. Had he possessed the eloquerce and ability of a Webster, he could have offered no explanation that would have satisfied his constitu- ency. NS man can accomplish impossi- bilities, and that IS what Mir. Stephens was trying to do. The first duty of legislator is 10 bis constituency, and he hes no right to ieopardize their in- terests by entering into a combination with any Set Jf men; yet MT. Stephens had the audRcity to acknowledge that he sold out the people of Tucson on the thlrd day after ht got to Prescott, by entering into a combination that favor ed series of acts that would have put the old Tweed ring to shame. The CIr1- ZEN has no desire to further discuss the short comings of this mans career in the Legislature. The CITIZEN made some plain statements of facts on Mir. Steph- ems course in the Legislature, on learn ing of his apostacy to his Constituency in voting against the only measure they

THE COUNTY COURT.

There seems to Oe a radical difference
 of opinion between a few lawyers of this
 county and the people in regard to the
 new law creating county court. These lawyers tell us that it Is necessary and that 1t will not increase the expenses of the county. The tax-pay CTS. however, cannot understand how an additional court can be created without creating additional costs, especially when we take into consideration the fact that our present Judges salary is paid by the United States, while the county will be called upon to pay the salary of the new County Judge. Judge Haynes stated yesterday that a Coun- ty Judge could easily attend to the business of both Pima and Cochise county, showing conclusively that we will have to pay full salaries for half work. This may result m reduc- tion of expenses as the lawyers claim, but it is very hard for us poor mortals who are not versed iB the law to see it in that light. According to the provis- ions of the bill, this new Judge will do away with the services of a Judge of Probate after the year 1887. Why wait until the year 1887? lit Is lawful and just, and such a court IS needed why did not the bill do away with the ser vices of the Probate Judge forthwith, or wait until 1887 before installing the new county Judge? The bill is inconsistent. While its friends claim that it will re- duce court expenses, 1t laps on to the cflice of Probate Judge, but allows that officer to continue drawing his salary for two years to come. In salaries alone, to say nothing of incidental expenses, the nev court will cost the county eight thousand dollars for two years, when every body knows that the business of the county could have been conducted with cut this extra cost. Aside from all of this, the bona fide tax payers of Pima who alone have the right to say whether such R court is desirable or not, declared in most emphatic terms that county court was not wanted in Pima county, which protest was duly forwarded to the Governor and we are sorry to learn that he refused to heed the wishes of the people. Pima county secured little or no legislation that was desired. and what she did secure the people did not want.

THE Rev. Dr. Newman when askel If General Grants condition was as bad us had been reported, said: Probably a great deal worse. We have known for almost eight months that he was rapidly failing in health, and that from the ma ligant character uf his disease little hope could be entertained for his recovery. This has, of course, been kept from General Grant himself. I have been General Grants pastor for the past twelve years, and 1 can see no unusual significance in his sending for me. We have been great friends for long time and this action is only natural. l have not seen him since left for California, but I have very little hope for his re- covery."

THOSE of our citizens who spent their time in Prescott during the session of the Legislature, tell some strange sto- ries about how things were done up there by our Solons. The outsiders agree pretty we'll on what they have to say, but each member of the Lsgisla- ture inclines towards a justifi- cation of his own hcts. The general impression of all, so for as we have heard, Is to the effect that our members of the lower House did fairly well, and stood by their constituency, which certainly cannot be said of the Council. But they were so hampered by the to 1 combination in the Couu- cil that their usefulness as legislators was well nigh, if not entirely, destroyed

asked him to support. We then stated what We believed to be true, and it has been more than confirmed by the subse- quent statement of reputable men who were in Prescott and by MT. Stephens own confessions. The CITIZEN then stated that Tucson had no further use for Mir. Stephens in any capacity, and it IS still of that impression, and his recep- tion last night must have convinced him that what the CITIZEN then said was true, and that no change has since taken place. NIT. Stephens has made his record ard it is such a one as will not stand before the people. Our people
 will SlbmIt to almost anything, but there
 IS limit beyond which even they will not go; that limit has been passed and no amount of sophistry will bring about a change in their opinion as to the out rage that has been heaped upon them or their future action toward the perpe- trator of that outrage.

WE understand that an organized company is about to take hold of the Blythe grant of land on the Colorado river and Gulf of California, which Is situated about 50 miles from Yuma Tn Lower California, with view of its col onIzatiop. This grant, SO We are in formed, comprises about 100000 acres of land, much of which Is said to be rich and can be irrigated by tine water from the Colorado river. This enter prise, if carried out. will greatly benefit Yuma. A steamer will make regular trips from the above place to the pro- posed colony. The Blythe grant Is with out doubt one of the finest localities for raising tropic Il fruits on the Pacific coast. It is also a grape country, and with good men to superintend the colo nization of the grant, 1t cannot help but prove successful.

JAY GOULD made big mistake in his attempted reduction of wages on the Missouri Pacific and Wabash S! stem of railroads. It was not go skillfully man aged as the recent Western Union strike. Then the boss manager who precipated the strike at an inopportune moment, also had power to declare the strike of, which he did when tue telegraph company called time. But at the recent strike, the railroad employees did not del egate their power to one or two indlvId- uals to be filtered away, but reserved in themselves. The strike has been of short duration and the employees have certainly got the best of the fight this time, having all been taken back at the old wages.

ABOUT GROUND GLASS.
An Accidental DiscOvery-Produeing the
 s'FrostIng'-ArtisticW Work.

An Accidental Discovery-Producing tns
 ''FrOsting"-Artistic Work.
 M. Quad's Letter to Boys.l
 Do YOU know anything about ground glass? Did you ever wonder how the Hanging baskets and beautiful scrolls dis played on the glass panels of front doors were placed there? Come with me into the works and we'll post up about IL
 In the first place, all the glass received is plain. The first move with ground glass is to frost 1t. They were a good many years finding out how to do this, and very simple thing gave them the clew An English servant maid .Ound some paint on window which would not wash oil. She took smooth pebble and some sand and secured away, and she not only removed the paint, but frosted that portion of the glass. The glass men soon baj the correct idea, and here it is before IS. It is a tight box about five feet wide and ten feet long, with a depth of about a foot. It is hung on iron rods so that it rocks like cradle as the s;eam-power is applied to the machin- cry. The glass is laid flat in the box. covered with wet sand and pebbles, and the shaking begins. The pebbles and sand shaking over the surface of the glass scratch it and produce the frosting. It takes about an hour and a quarter to com plete the work. but this homely inventi on accOmplishes as much in that time as diligent man could in two weeks by hand When the glass has been frosted 1t is ready for the artist He takes it to his bench and draws the pattern in crayon, thus making black and distinct lines which show through the glass.
 When the grinder takes it in hand he sits before a revolving grindstone which has been turned to an edge hardly wider than the blade of Q table knife. One CrindstOne cuts straight lines. another tte curves and so on to the number of i've or six. The side on which the pattern IS drawn is held on the stone. and he must have true eye and a steady hand. If he deviates from the lines his work is spoiled, for the eye can at once detect the careless ness An adept will grind scrolls, bou- que's and the finest work as neatly and rapidly as an artist can draw them.
 Where coloTed glass is ground the pat tern is made by simply grinding out the color. which leaves the OrnamentatiOn in white and the body of the glass in color. There are only about twenty i've ground | glass factories in the | nted states. and the pay of an adept workman averages s per day the year round. All the grind stones are imported from one quarry in scotland, there being no stone in any s;,ler country so well fitted for the worA

Nova sc0tia's Gold Production.


 Nova Scotia Is not generally regarded as a gold producing country. yet since the discovery of gold in 1860, it IS said it's mines have produced over $S,O0O, 900 worth ol bullion. Tie mines are leased for twenty-one years. with privilege of renewal, on royalty of 2 per cent on the gross yield. Strict account IS kept by the mines office with every mine in nper- ation and every person holding a pros- pecting license. And from these .ords it appears that since 1860 for every days work expended in the gold-felds oth for mining and prospecting. an amouns of bullion has been produced equal to S2. 50 per day per man, counting wages at an average of Sl.30 per day.
 The gold is of a very fine quality. be- ing worth on an average over $l9 S5 per ounce. and frequently S20. The aurifer- ous rock is free milling and yields from s 10 $500 per ton. Materials for work ing the mines are very cheap. Wood averages $1.55 per cord, lumber S6 per thousand, and coal S2 90 per ten. Tim Der is the same price as wood.
