IF ever the Territorial Prison is moved from Yuma it should be established in good buildings in some part of the Terri tory where the prisoners cen earn their own keep. In any one c,f the apricul. tural valleys, in such Q place as might be found near Florence, for instance, a thousand acres might be titled to profit by the labor of convicts. Texas has a cotton plantation of several thousand acres, all the labor upon which is per- .to"'H "1' hs- --~--'ivso. sugar cane grows luxuriantly in this climate ard is said to require thirteen months work in a year." Surely no better employment could be found for the prisoners. They could raise every pound of vegetables, meat and horse feed required, and eventually from the surplus pay the salaries oi the off .cials, making the in stitution self-s apporting. It is now even under U ,e most economical of man. agements' the largest drain from the none LOO plethoric general fund. Elm. PioyH .ent should be found for every con 'ict. It is enough to drive an ener. ,stic man insane and ferocious to be , cooped up without motive or a chance
 to exercise the vitality that suffers un.
 der restraint. California has solved the
 problem by employing her prisoners in
 quarries and in bag factories; let Ari.
 zona follow by turning them into
 husbandmen to their own and the Ter ritory's profit.

IN learned editorial article upon ir- rigation in Arizona, the Chicago Inter Ocean imparts the interesting informa- tion that the irrigable land of the Terri tory is in its northwestern portion. In- deed, Arizona would seem to be terra incognita. A copy of the Commissioner of Immigration's admirable pamphlet will be forwarded to the agricultural editor of the Inter Ocean. By it he will learn that of all the counties in the Ter ritory, Mohave, in the northwestern cor ner, is the only one absolutely lacking agriculture, and that in the south-cen- tral portion lie the great valleys of the Gila and Salt rivers, where hundreds of thousands of acres have been appropri- ated and where are grown in luxuriance all the fruits of the temperate and semi tropic belts.

TnE following article by the reformer
 W. A. Cuddv, who is we'll known in Arizona, is worthy of reproduction.
 Writing on the object of law, he says The object of law for the punishment of crime is to prevent and correct, not to revenge. The system in vogue of
 letting a man convicted and imprisoned for crime serve his term of sentence out, crediting him portion of it for good
 behavior, and then opening the door of his dungeon, telling him to go, that he is free, is the coldest, most unwarranta-
 ble and wickedly uncharitable sort of government. To whom can a dis charged prisoner go, after being shut up from human sight and human com panionship, when he is set free, as the law facetiously expresses it. He is looked upon by his friends, often by his family, as a stain, blot, cast off and forced to seek companionship and crim- inal employment among those he would shun if he saw the way. It would seem to be the province and duty of good government, of economical government, to exercise as much care to put dis charged criminal in the way of regain ing lost character as is made it's duty to consign him to prison cell as wholesome restraint, and as an asser- tion of its rights to protect itself from destruction. A man sometimes falls into crime who is not criminal by na- ture or intent, but having lost that moral balance which every man should preserve as part of his integral man. hood, goes to prison as an expiation. He pays the penalty of his crime; pays society for it by an enforced absence. But, during his term of bondage, his better nature returns to him, and he re- solves that he will in future lead an honest life. Having formed this iron resolution with all the strength of honest intention, he comes forth not to a sympathizing public, not to helping hands, but to society whose every look, gesture and act goad him to resistance and desperation. If he conceals his for mer life and obtains employment, though he may be exemplary in every particular, some busybody, some mar plot unfolds the story of the shadows of his life, when he is unceremoniously dismissed-sent back to the arms and haunts of crime. If he applies for work and frankly tells how he has fallen, how willing and anxious he is to redeem himself, he is spurned, for no one will trust him; he has no one to say a kind word for him. The State-and we mean by that, society-sanctioned by law, should receive every discharged pris- oner, give him place to sleep and eat, find work for him according to his capacity, and until he has proved him. self, such employment as will not tempt him. This could be done. Trace Of him could be kept under police surveil- lance until honesty became fixed D rim ci plev v

THE admirable and logical" system of British freetrade does not seem to be accepted in it's fullness by the Australian colonies. At last re- ports the colonies were taking the necessary steps to put into effect a strong policy of protection to home industries and products. Philoso- phers are gradually learning that what is sauce for the goose is not necessarily sauce for all other members of the feathered tribes.

TIE capitol grounds, donated to the Territory by the city of Phoenix, present a beautiful appearance for the time they have been under gardeners care. By act of the Legislature two years ago, a small tax of one-eighth of mill, we be- lieve, was levied for the maintenance and care of the grounds. Similar action should be taken now. A very small sum will suffice to have one of the most beau tiful ten-acre parks in the west by the time the Territory is prepared to erect a capitol building and the Legislature should not neglect to provide for it.
