 Deputy Sheriff Blankenship, of Maricopa- CO.,, brought in the dead body of one Pen nington, a convicted stage robber setenced to the territorial pen for ten years, whom he was bringing here. Sheriff Blankenship gave us the following account of the death, as is it corohorated by parties on the train, we take it for correct, and give 1t in as few words as possible: The other side of Gila City the prisoner apparaptly being asleep, in the seat behind B, who being very tired having not slept much lately, layed my head on the seat and went to sleep. When he woke up, mile this side of Gila City the prisoner was gone. He then had the train stopped and he went back to Gila City and stayed till morning. when he made prepara- ! tions to pursue the escaped man, but a freight train come along bearing the remains of the dead man, which they found miles east ot Gila City, under trussle work. he evidently having jumped from the train and his head striking the tinbers killed him. The body was brought to Yuma and coro- nor jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the above facts.

OUR LEGISLATORS PAY.
Reduce the Number of Law Makers
and Increase Their Salaries.

AUSTIN. TAX, Jan. %, 1885.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
A joint resolution was introduced
into the house the other day proposing
to amend sections and "a OF article
of the constitution Of the state OF
Texas, and was referred to the com.
mittee on constitutional amendments.
The substance OF the resolution is TO
provide for the election of thirty-one
senators and siTty-two representa-
tives 70 the Legislature OF Texas, to re-
ceive compensation OF s. per day for
the first sixty days, and 81 per day for
the remainder Of the session, and mile
age not to exceed S. per % miles.
This seems TO me to be progressive
move, but the compensation allowed
Is not sufficient To have service OF
any character we must pay well for IL
Wnen man enters n store and calls
for an article Of merchandise, II he de-
sires some hing cheap, he lays out q
little money; If something OF worth,
he pays good price for IL, for the old
maxim runs, "the best is the cheap
est IL Is the same = it'll talent or ge-
MUS as with merchandise. The same
principle underlies both. If we expect
10 have wise Legislators 10 enact
wholesome laws, free from
faint, the product Of bigotry, and mar
row, contracted minds, We must be
prepared to pay for il. The pitlable
sum offered Legislators brings, as a
general thing, man wi holt a great
amount Of education, and without ex-
perience, because a man who has the
education and the experience that
makes him fiJ for legislator cannot
afford to leave his business for the
compensation allowed In this age,
when money has usurped the place of
almost everything, we cannot secure
the valuable services OF valua.
BILE men without II. do not

Randall, Visit to CLEVELAND.

Mr. Cleveland's invitation TO Mr..
Randall TO make him a call, and the
conference that took place between
them. do not make conclusive evidence
that the pr esident.elect called on the
leader of the protectlonists for advice
about running his administration or
offered him place in the new cabinet.
Mr.. Cleveland probably looked upon
him as the recognized head OF fac.
ton In the party, and wished to ascer.
tain fully the feelings and purposes Of
the faction, aud 10 learn how far the
incoming Democratic administration
is to rely upon them in its measures
toward the tariff.
1t is stated that Speaker Carlisle Ia
also the recipient Of an invitation TO
pay a formal but unostentatious visit
to his party chief, snd give his views
rs to the wisdom of policies contem-
plated by the head of the Democratic
administration, II may be that the
president-elect Is seeking TO ascertain,
from representative men OF both fac.
tlons, their views as to the duty of the
government upon the questions that
will be presented for legislation, and
where those views dlverge to
harmonige them as far as may be,
or to instruct himself for his future
guidance. In this light the visit of
Mr. Randall has nospecial significance
beyond that which would attach to
the visit OF any conspicuous and lead

stor Bayard and Senator Garland

Reieotion Of tho NloaIaguan Treaty.

Rejection Of the HioaIsguan Treaty.
SO tho Hlcaraguau treaty fails o.
ratification, though II had majority
In the senate Of 80 to %. Lacking
however, the necessary constitutional
majority Of two-thlrds in It's favor, 1t is
rejected.
Whatever might be said in its favor
on general principles, the present time
and existing conditions we're specially
unfavorable TO the treaty. It's adop-
ton would have signalzed departure
from the traditional policy OF the gov
eminent, which has been to avoid all
political connections and alliances
with foreign nations. Since the ter
mlnation Of the offensive and defen-
sive treaty with France, which was
entered into to secure the support OF
that country during the war for indie
pendence, there has been no devia-
ton from this policy.
1t would be unfair to the incoming
Democratic administration TO impos Q
upon II the task OF carrying out q pol
icy foreign to the character Of the gov
eminent, and which, however disa-
greesble, II could not Pbandon. Mr..
Arthur has but few weeks more Of
