OUR sOLONS.
"Max" tells what they arc Dping, and some of the Things they
 propose to Do.

PHENIx, February 2.-i sr>or respondence. ]-Since writing my last
 letter there has been very little of inter
 est transpire here. Both houses of the
 legislature adjourned from Friday
 until to-day, on account of the death of
 Secretary Windom, and many of the
 members took advantage of the vaca-
 ion by leaving Phenik and visiting
 their homes. The principal feature of
 to-day's session was the appearance of
 Representative Mott, for the first time during the session. On motion of Representative Dougherty. he was ex- cused for his absence on account of alleged sickness.
 The bill creating Coconino county passed the council to-day, pract cslly ss introduced. The attempt to amend it by providing for an immediate election to elect officers for the bantling county failed, and if it passes the house with out amendment, tine governor will ap% point officers, to organize the new county and hold office until their suc- cessors, to be elected at special cleo ton to be held on the second Monday in May qualify. An attempt will again be made to amend the bi'l ih the house, to provide for the officers to be appointed by the governor to hold until the regu- lar election in November, 1892.
 The attempt to resurrect the dead county of Sierra Bonita. which has now lain in its little grave for six years, and 10 rechristen it, Miles county is with active opposition and signed protests from the section affected by the proposed county. There is quite strong lobby here in it's interest, but theF are mak- ing but little headwsy with it, and the puny thing does not seem to have snought support among members form trading combination on. The name suggested is enough of itself to | defeat the bill. .
 The office of attorney general is still | ! thorn in the flesh of democracy, and | is the subject of legislative sparring in he attempt to abolish the office. The indications are that the office will be maintained, but probably at a reduced 'alary. MAX.

 The above mentioned gentleman had been to several establishments in town to buy a nice Merschaum Pipe. One sold him a "Chip" Merschaum for $10. Another sold him French "Clay" for $6.

A "s,Il" that shouls pe Settled.

About two weeks ago, an Indian commonly known as Glsss-eyed Bill, shot and instantly killed his pappoose. at his place on the Big Sandy, for no other reason than that the child was sick and had been crying ana wailing the day and night before. The inhuman brute took the little one and, despite its pitiful pleading for mercy, placed it on a sand dune and deliberately shot it. About two years ago this same brute shot and killed his squaw in like manner. The squaws told the story of the killing to the white folks on the Sandy, but we suppose no action will be taken for the punishment of this monster in human guise. Mohaye Miner,

The law making that is going on throughout the United States at his tune of year is something fearful to contemplate. The American people undoubtedly legislate themselves "to death," considering the fact that much of the time of one legislature is taken up undoing what has been done by another, and in doing that which must itself be undone at the earliest possible moment.-Ex.
