FALSE TO THEIR TRUST.

Time and again have members of the
 dominant party in the Sixteenth Legls-
 ture proclaimed from the floor of the
 two houses in labored efforts that they
 were sent to the capitol to legislate in
 the interests of the taxpayers; that
 this was essentially an economical
 Legislature and that they, the speakers,
 could only be true to their trusts by
 using every endeavor to cut down ex- penses and reduce taxation whenever possible. It seems, however, that all this talk was mere wind mere blow for effect; the wiles of demagogues attempt ing to throw ashes in the eyes of the people.
 Early in the session joint resolution was adopted authorizing the printing committees of the two houses to have copies of the Governors message and the various reports printed. Yesterday TIE REPUBLICAN was asked to submit a bid for printing 800 copies of the Gov ernor's message and 250 copies of each of the following official reports: Auditor, Treasurer, Prison, Insane Asylum, Ad- jutant-General, Commissioner of Immi- grafton, Normal School, University Re gents, Territorial Geologist and Capitol Commissioners. Accordingly sealed bid was presented to the chairman of the House committee yesterday after noon. Upon the adjournment of the afternoon session, a joint meeting of the printing committees was held, at which were present Messrs. Brady, Simpson and Peter from the Council, and Messrs. Hoff, Cough and Samaniego, from the House. Absent, Messrs. Allen and Copeland, who knew nothing of the meeting. Bids were opened from the Prescott Courier, Phoenix Herald, Phoenix | Gazette and TIE REPUBLICAN. The aggre- gate of the various bids for all the work was as follows:
 herald ''.....'.....'. ..,'.... ...,... 2,952 90 uazelte..'. ...........,... ...-........ 2,9sS OO Courler. ...,....................... 3,2si % THE REPUBLICAN N...................... 1,56O %
 Naturally any taxpayer would sup pose that the asking for bids meant that | the work was to be let to the lowest bid- der. Not so in this case, however. Upon motion of Mir. Brady, the work was allotted to the Courier, Mir. Peter alone dissenting, notwithstanding that the bid of THE REPUBLICAN was $l725 LESS than that of the Courier. Is it possible that the members of the Print ing Committee are so blinded by parti. san rancor that they propose to throw away nearly two thousand dollars of the peoples money rather than give the printing of the various reports to the best equipped printing office in the Territory?
 Gentlemen, TIE REPUBLICAN warns you to beware. You are playing with fire in this question. The great mass of the people are not such partsans that they want s32S4 of their money spent for work that would be done better by another for Sl560. You went before the people pledged to economy and retrench- ment. Upon that basis you were elected. Betray the trust as basely as is pro- posed in this case and you will be con- signed to political oblivion from which you can never be resurrected.

To do one thing at a time. and each we'll,

be properly healed. A fever must be

at least worthy of an equally methOdical and

A purpose is given to life. Idleness would
be stunned. industry cOurted. Moreover.
the impulse to eXertiOn is thus made moral

impossible for an intelligent officer to

Society and the Church.

At the cathedral in St. Paul last Sunday
evening Archbishop Ireland delivered SER
mon on the recent encyclical of Pope Leo
XIII. on the "Condition of Labor" 1t was
clear and powerful exposition of the
much agitated question and the church's
relation to it. We make few extracts:
The social questions of the day arise from
the modern complication of industry and
trade; they are necessarily new. The data
upon which conclusions must be based are,
in these early stages of the movement, OBJ
scure and ill defined. and the task of reach
ing OIt to conclusions is arduOus and beset
with difficulties. These difficulties are in
creased to no small degree by the presence
OF dOctrnaireS and men of passion, who
profit of all social agitations. to PROFOUND
wild and revolutionary theories and demol-
iSh in hatred and lust where they are pow
erless to build up in peace and love. We
need not perhaps, wonder Overmuch that
Catholics have held aloOf from the social
field. and were led to believe that the timely
moment had not come for the barring of
arm, and the unsheathing of sword. But
another reason for their social inactivity l
am not so willing to excuse or pardon. 1t is

the big world outside church walls must be
left to itself, to heave and to sink from it's
own forces, for life or death, untouched by
Christian hand. or unstirred by Christian
inspiration. Passing strange this mode of
piety toward God and his Christ, which
does not understand that the whole world
is the creation of God. that Christ loved and
died for the whole world. and that the mar

storehouse of arms and courage, wherewith
the soldier fits himself for that victory of
grace and truth. which in Gods calling
