THE LEGISLATIVE GRIND

The chronic craze for amending the
constitution has now taken an acute
form and not having succeeded very
we'll in the past in improving the funda~
mental law by pieces, Mr.. Boyce would
re-write the entire document by having
another CO Institutional convention. He
has introduced a bill for this pur-
pose, and if it succeeds, in the course
of human events, four years from this
the people may have an opportunity to
vote on the adoption of another constitu-
ton. 1t is not known, however, that the
people are so anxious for a change OF
base, and when the political rustlers who
would like "a longer tether to admit OF
browsing around in fatter pastures,
submit their new proposition, kthey
may find out that the people have some
thing to say about it. The restrictions
in the constitution which the politicians
complain of are very nearly what the
people themselves desire.
Bills requiring cases in justice court
to be docketed before summons issues,
and forbidding asu or changes in
after issued and requiring q
fee of s. to be paid justice before issuing
nave been introduced. Also
a bill to repeal the law requiring COM
mercial agencies to put up a bond for
$4,000.
Irrigation bills III every form continue
to be introduced and the desire to run
into debt on this question seems SO
strong that a continual guard will have
to be kept on state and school funds or
there will be an attempt ere long to en-
croach upon them.
Schultz of Hand county has intro
duced a bill which aim to reduce the
fees of sheritfs for distributing ballot
boxes.
Harry Hunter of Mellette has just re-
turned from Chicago and gives it out
cold that the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul company will pay Its railroad
tax to the state at once. The tax is not
due until the first of March, but the
company sympathized with the state in
Is depleted financial condition and will

oGd.E One quarter of this would be q
large sized nugget.
The prohibition lobbyists are charged
with introducing a bill to establish a
system of state d~ispensaries for the sale
of liquor, after the plan of South Caro-
lima, but without profit to the state. 1t
is the poulist plan, pure and simple, and
ID forced to the surface by the prospect
Of resubmission.

further legislation. Why on earth
should they? Their party has over
turned the republican policies that il
found in operation; part OF them like
the reciprocity agreements, for mere vim
d~ictiveness. 1t still has control OF every
branch OF government. What does it
want "help" for? There 10 one brief act
that the democrats might pass, to the
great benefit Of the people, and for
which we think we could promise them
the support OF every republican vote. 1t
would read about this way: Be it en-
acted that all laws enacted since the
first Monday in December, 1893, except
the regular appropriation bills, be, and
the same are hereby repealed.

banks were in difficulties a year before
from loaning more money than their
capital warranted, but Sir William
Whiteway, who was then premier and
attorney general, assisted them by pro-
curing q loan of $3.50, 900, which they
succeeded in repaying in q single year.
Like the phenix. st. Johns rose from
it's ashes after the great fire, and in two
years the burned district was rebuilt
and greatly improved. While the insur-
ance money lasted there was q season of
prosperity, but when the money was ex-
hausted the crash that had only been
deferred came npon the colony. One of
the principal causes of the present finan-
cial troubles is the credit system that
has long prevailed in the fishing trade.
For generations the large mercantile
firms have advanced goods and provi-
sions to the fishermen, who at the end OF
the season turned over their catch to
the merchant. IL the season was q good
one, each fisherman had a balance to
his credit when the accounts We're ad-
iusted. III the season was Improbable,
he was in debt for n years supplies
and must procure another on credit. In
this way many fishermen became hope
lessly plunged i'm debt, and merchants
were compelled to charge outrageous
prices in order to recoup themselves for
their losses from numerous bad debts.
The end was only o matters OF time.
Another potent cause was the gross
mismanagement of the two banks, Near
ly OIL, 900, 900 worth of the Commercial
bank notes were held bypersons allover
the colony, and when the bank failed
ON Dec. 10 and the Union bank follow
ed the entire circulating medium OF the
colony received a terrible blow. The
Commercial banks currency wa found
to be worth 30 cents ON tho dollar and
the Unions so cents. The mercantile
firms indebted to the banks went to the
wall, the shareholders were ruined, and
the financial situation was and is chaos.
Such is the situation confronting tho
governor, Sir John T. N. O'Brien, and
Premier Joseph Green. Politics has cut
no small figure in the history of Eng
lands oldest colony during. the past
year. Premier WhiteWay and his col
leagues were accused OF bribery and cor
ruption q year ago and We're uHseated
and disqualified ON technical grounds by
the supreme court, but lit is understood
that Whiteway will return to power as
soon ~ the Legislature relieves him
from the disqualification imposed by tho
court.

Again In EnEland's Oldest Colony. aths
Sport Of Historic aTisfortunes"-The Gov
Nearly bankrupt, the Banks In
Liquidation and Trade Paraiyxed.
At the present time Newfoundland
seems to be a good place to remain away
from. The people are without food. fuel
and funds, and the awful state OF desti-
tution prevailing there was recently
brought 20 public notice In q most for
chile by the bread riots i'm ST.
Johns. There is no circulating medium
owing to the recent failure OF the Com
mercial and Union banks, the only
banks in tho colony: trade is paralyzed,
few firms have weathered the storm,
there is nc work for thousands of labor
ing men. and a large percentage of the
population is Oh the verge OF bankrupt
cy. and tho people are ready for any
thing that will put bread in their
mouths.
Lord Salisbury once termed the COL
ony 1.-THE sport of historic misfortunes,"
and the phrase never seemed more apt
than at the present time. In July, 1892,
half the city of st. Johns was swept
away by a confiagration that left IL, 600

Pierre dispatch, Is. Ex-Gov. Mellette
returned this morning from a hasty trip
to Chicago, whittier he went TO look
after his interests in connection with
Taylor's defalcation.
1t will be recalled that the trust deeds
that Taylor held OF all Mellette's proper
ty we're recorded and mortgaged to G.
FL. Wells, Chicago.
Mellette is satisfied that Taylor has
been running behind for three years. He
thinks Taylor has duped and bulldozed
his friends and bondsmen all along. He
says also that Taylor probably took very
little money with him. At the last
moment, Taylor paid three notes Of
$4,000 each, on which his father was
endorser. Two OF these were given to
the Lafayette bank and one to the Chase
National of New York. II is not known
what Taylor could have done with the
balance OF the 100000 which he drew
from the treasury during December.
Mellette had several conferences with
j. Il. McChesney, who says Taylor made
a different statement as TO his liabilities
every time he talked with him.
Mellette says the object of the bonds
men is to get all the money out Of their
property for the state they can and not
have it sacrificed at forced sale.

THE OLD PUEBLO.
A Noted Woman Now In
 Tucson.
Wm. Lee and Lizzie Turner Married. Mrs. w. Fl. Barnes Ill.,
 Rich Ore Shipped.

From the Tucson Citizen.
 Mrs. Judge Barnes has recently been quite i'll and for time her friends were alarmed for her safety, but fortunately the crisis is past and her speedy re- covery is now hopefully looked for.
 Richard Kinsman, of Tom bstone, is a prodigy. He recently shipped batch of ore to Deming and received $250 more than expected. This is one of the most marvellous things ever heard of in Arizona. Mir. KInsman is said to have a whole mine of just such material.
 William Lee, son of the late James Lee, is in the city. He was born in a little stone cabin at the 'Jimmie Lee Mine," 12 miles west of Tucson nearly 26 years ago and grew to manhood II this city. He was married on the 2lst inst. to Miss Lizzie Turner, an estim. able young lady of Florence, and brought her on visit to his friends and relatives of whom he has many here abouts. His father was James Lee, one of the noted pioneers of southern Arizona, and who contributed much to the opening up of the country.
 Miss Nellie Cushman, the irrepress ible, is again in the city looking for fields and pastures new. She has just returned from trip to Alaska. This was her second visit to that far of do- main of Uncle Sam. From here she will probably go to Mexico. Miss Cushman is one of the best known wo- men on the Pacific slope, having been, at one time or another, boarding house keeper in every prominent min- ing camp this side of the Rockies. Among the miners she has a world of friends-for no man was ever turned from her doors whether he had means or not. It is said that che has "gru b. staked" more than thousand pros pectors in her time, but still the long looked for bonanza has not been struck.
