Hrs English, you know," but that wouldn't make it any more endurabie
 to real American. Greenwich observ- atory records show that for the past fourteen years there has been an aver age total of only twenty hours of sun shine in London for the whole month of Decemb Der, while during the same period there has been an average of nineteen perfectly sunless days in that city during tbat month. No wonder December is called the "dark month" in London. Blizzards and cyclones would almost be preferable to that sort of thing, if they didn't come too often.

A PART of the business of the preset t legislature is to properly adjust the sal aries of county and territorial officers. Some of the former may be overpaid, but most of the latter are greatly under paid. This is certainly true in the case of the territorial auditor. whose posi- tion demands 8 man of much more than ordinary ability and whose salary should be increased from $2, 800 to $3. .0OO.

PHENIX. FEBRUARY 6. 1895.
A TIMELY QUESTION.

When Chairman Brown, of the com mittee on enrolled and eugrossed bills, arose to question of privilege in the assembly, yesterday afternoon, he touched upon an entirely new subject, new in this respect, that no insinuation, 80 far as we know, had ever before been cast by a legislator against the acquire ments of his colleagues. But anyone who has ever critically examined the statutes of Arizona or, for that matter, the statutes of almost any other state or territory, will agree that MT. Brown arose rot only to question of privilege but to one of duty.
 An ungrammatIcal expression or one in which words are incorrectly spelled, is not necessarily an indefinite one, but it is likely to be so and an indefinite legislative act is worse than none at all, in that it is productive of litigation within itself and is at last almost cer- tain of defeat.
 It is notorious that the late lamented Wilson bill as it went to the senate abounded in errors. chiefly those of punctuation, which are, after all, gram nautical errors for which the printer could not have been wholly sponsible :; perhaps he strictly followed copy" but if not, it was the duty of some one else to see that the bill conveyed to the courts and the people the exact mean ing of the house of representatives. As the tariff bill finally emerged from the senate and became law it contained a single inaccuracy of punctuation crea- ting a doubt as to the meaning of cer- tam clause. What the meaning is, is left to customs officials to decide. Gus toms officials are not always grammar ians, are sometimes not lawyers and are never finally authoritative.
 That a man should sometimes write an ungrammatlcal sentence or should occasionally misspell word is not an impeachment of his scholarship. We remember reading not long ago copy of a will written by Presby- terian minister of Virginia, famous during the latter part of last century for his eloquence and his scholarly at- tainments. The will was remarkable in many respects, but chiefly for the writer's frequent departure from rules
Arizona republican., 1895-02-06

of grammar and from even the crude rules of orthogrsphy which ex- isted at that time. How he meant to dispose of his property the courts were actually unable to decide and the will was in effect no will at all. He could have done better if it had oc- curred to him to do so.
 We do not believe there is mem Der of either house of the legislature who could not frame bill setting forth with unmistakeable clearness and ab- solute correctness the terms of any measure he might present, but like the Virginia minister, the clearness nec- essary to avoid ouibbling lawyers, or even the degree of clearness necessary to avoid reasonable or honest quibbling might not occur to him.
 Chairman Browns question Is not only timely one but one to which chairman of the same committee should rise in every legislative body for it is always present. That office whose inn portance is frequently underestimated, is not being filled in a perfunctory ma9- her in the assembly of the Eighteenth session.

 I, Louis C. Hughes, governor of Arizona, in pursuance of law, do hereby earnestly recom- mend that,
 Arizona's Arbor Day, Friday, February Sth, 1895, be recognized by the people as holiday, and that it be observed throughout the territory in the promotion of forest and orchard growth, and by the planting of useful and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines and flowers for the adorn- ment of our school grounds, streets, parks, cem- etc ries and homes.
 And to the end that the children of our pub lie schools shall assist in this work, it is made the duty of the authorities of every public school in the territory as far as may be practlc- able, to observe the day by such exercises and eIemonies as shall tend to encourage the planting, protection and preservation of trees and shrubs and make the children acquainted with the best methods of accomplishing such results, and which will encourage the forma- tion of habits and tastes that will develop for the future healthy and liberal public senti- ment in the territory or coming state on the subject for which Arbor Day stands.

whether an old deed executed seventy five years ago had five signatures or only four. There were spaces for five, but only traces of four visible. The clerk of the court was ordered to have the deed photographed by an expert. He took it to Washington for this pur- pose. The negative developed some evidence of the missing signature, but on enlarging it ten times the whole name came forth distinctly.
