THE Tucson Citizen states that
an effort was made to indict E. w.
Nelson, at the last term of the court.
The Citizen seems to speak from
the card. In fact, its lugubrations,
seem to be inspired from st. Johns.
Now, we would like to know the
source of the Citizens information?
Which one of the grand jurors vio-
lated his oath and informed you?
Was Nelson to be indicted as Re-
corder, Deputy District Clerk, for
misfeasance or malfeasance in of
fee, or simply as an individual, and
if as the latter, for what? Mr.. Mel
son is a public officer of the coun-
ty, and is entitled TO the poor priv
ilege of letting his constituents and
the public generally know, that this
is a SANDER. We have no sources
of information open to us as to
what transpires in the grand jury
room, but considering the author
ship of the article, we are ready to
wager $50 to $25. that it is a lie
out of whole cloth. Now, Mr.. Citi-
zen give the name of your inform
ant, put up, or shut up.

THE opinion is ventured by Mr..
Henry Clews, the Wall street bank
er, that the prediction of a bust
ness collapse this year will not be
realized. He bases this judgment
upon the fact that the money mar
ket is secured against any adverse
contingencies by the new arrange
ment for government bond pur-
chases, and by the growing sense of
confidence among the people in the
business future of the country. Mr..
Clews states that the earnings of
the railroads are also beginning to
make better showing, which is al
ways regarded as favorable token
OF business prosperity.

IT is reported that the United

mine for $4,000 for cutting wood
on government land. The wood
used no doubt was for running the

was not aware that it was cut from

substitute we here have therefor.
From early morn until dewey eve,
and often until the wee small hours
of the morning, and for seven days
in the week, we work and labor,
and when the months end has
come, board, bed, washing and the
fancy work paid for, we are just
about even with the world. Pocos
pesos have we hid away in the dun
geon deep and remote recesses of
our palace, which does not look

We, in our feeble way, have pom
dered and thought, and in our best

and the answer always returned
with an infinite interrogation at the
end-why and how?
There are no dates, fashioned by
natures bounteous hands, dang
ling from the trees in easy reach,
on which they can feed. In these
common days of materialistic views
miracles have ceased, and the raw
ems have gone out of business.
We have heard that Byron, with
out effort, collared a stub pen and
wrote: "Roll on thou dark and deep
blue ocean, ROLL" and she rolled
that Shakespeare, when he could
spare time from his improper atten-
ton to the dears and deer, as we'll,
grabbed goose's quill and dashed

dew before the golden orb of day,
and France was made queen of the
May. All of the great deeds of
these men were done-all of their
wonderful fancies woven, without
work, and the world has since dub

We are constrained to conclude,
