The Importance OF Prayer

Prayer is, in the plan of God, a vital
force in the universe--as truly a force
in the moral world as electricity OF
gravitation is a force in the world of
nature. 1t is, therefore, not enough
to say that because our Father know
eth what things we have need Of be-
fore we ask him, we shall gain moth
ing through an attempt to make known
to him our need and desires. God
has chosen to condition certain gifts
to us on our request for them, and u1-
less we pray accordingly we have nc
right to expect or receive these gifts.
The Son of God while he was the Son
of Man realized the Importance OF
prayer'for himself and for his loved
ones, and he enjoined on his disciples
the privilege of prayer. If we would
be blessed we must pray for ourselves.
If we would have others blessed we
would pray for them. 1t is often the
case that we can do more for those
whom we love by prayer in their be,
half, than by any other mode Of en-,
deavor. And to know that those who
love us are praying in Jul behalf, is
something to be profoundly grateful
for. God may honor the prayers fol
us of those whom we prize but lightly.

DR.. Stokes is Unseated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., juno 1.-Con-
gresham Stokes, of South Carolina, es-
capped by the skin Of his teeth to-day. He
lost his seat temporarily, but considers
chat better than having lost 1t altogether.
The House this morning, by a vote Of
100 to 125, decided against both Stokes
and Johnston. and declared the seat
vacant. The case has been n of the
most holly contested of this session.
When the House re assembled this morn
ing the friends of Johnston made despe-
rate efforts to get in absent members.
They were aided in this by the pending
veto of the President on the river and
harbor bill.
Stokes and his friends saw yesterday
that the only chance to defeat Johnston
was in joining the Republicans who were
in favor of vacating the seat. Stokes
fully realized the critical situation aud
placed the management of his interests
almost entirely in the hands of Congress
man Latimer. DR.. Stokes feels that to
Mr.. Latimer is due in q large measure
the success of the combination, although
the other members Of the delegation aided
In every way possible. One of stokes's
best friends was Congressman jenkins,
of Wisconsin, who had charge of the case
In com mittee and on the floor. MI. Jen-
kins did not want to give In to the pro-
gramme this morning. but did 30 for
Stokes's Sake. Congressman Codding,
another Republican, also proved a good
friend. All the Democrats voted to de-
clare the seat vacant.-NeUs and Courier.

Shot Her Rival.

New ORLEANS, May 27.-Lsst Saturday
the Headlight, a sensational weekly. pub
LEGATION of this city, contained a "write
up'' of John Locourt and Mrs. Ella Car
lin. For some time past Mrs. Locourt hos
charged that Mrs. Carlin has been robbing
bar and her children of the support aud
affections of Locourt. She demonstrated
on several occasions, but he paid no heed
to her.
Mrs. Locourt then realized that she
could accomplish her purpose by having
her husband and Mrs. Carlin published in
the weekly and sensational papers. She
called at the office of the Headlight and
gave information which resulted in the
publication. Mrs. Carlin went to the
Headlight Office to ascertain who wac 80
sponsiule for the publication and the ed1'
tor told her Mrs. Locourt was. The lallsr
was sent for and on her arrival at the OF
flee the women commenced to abuse each
other and finally came to blows when
Mrs Locourt drew a pistol and shot Mrs,
Csrlin, it Is thought, fatally.
Mrs. Lncourt was locked mp to await the
result Of Mrs. Carlin's wound.

= For a number of months the New
York Herald has been publishing letters
in response to the question, How far
may q oma 60 to encourage q man to
propose marrisge?" A prize of 500 was
offered for the best letter. Over four
Thousand letters were received. The
Herald has just awarded the prize to a
letter signed 'Becky Sharp" who turned
out to be Mrs. James Gilmour, of Brook
lyn. The chief points In her letter are az
follows: "Select the man on whom you
intend to bestow the privilege Of your
attention. lnIyour after companionship
with him never compromise yourself by
any indecorousness. Seek his society in
such q manner that he is not cognizant OF
being sought after; be bright ans5 cheer
iul in his presence, ympalbize with him
in his troubles, stimulate him to best
efforts in his busintss a1fairs. Dress be"
comipgly for him, but never gaudily.
When be is absent from you write him q
few interesting, chatty letters. Above
all, prove yourself a good listener. Do
not always agree with him; it is some
times wiser to agree to disagree. You
might vouchsafe him just one kiss-some
night at parting. But If he attempts to
return it do not permit it. IF you have a
spark of wit In your nature you ought by
this time to have made yourself 80 me-
cessary to his existence that he will miss
you sauly when absent" Mrs. Gilmour,
who, much to her establishment, won the
prize, vigorously resents the accusation
that she proposed to her husband. Sho
says that she was wooed and won in the
usual manner.

tionable means, all Of which in their
last analysis come from the earnings
of the ~toilers and grind the faces Of
the poor. Widows and orphans whose
husbands and fathers left them stock
or bonds in a great railroad have lived
to see it wrecked by unscrupulous
schemers and by the time the wreck
ers had done with it their stock and
their bonds were worthless. Daniel
Webster got a fee Of $40, 900 for max
ing a speech in the Myra Clark Gaines
case, and it was noised by the press as
an enormous fee, but now a common
lawyer gets $50, 900 for bringing the
money of e wrecked railroad into
court. An incorporated company ac-
cumulates q million dollars surplus
and asks the court what to do with it.
There was ne fight, no contest, but the
lawyers who took the decree are
awarded SIS, 900 for bringing the mon
ey into court. Receivers and lawyers
prey upon the .carcases Of corporations
like buzzards upon the carcases Of
brutes, and but little is left for credi-
tors or stockholders. These are the
things that fill the people with dis
trust and disgust and paralyze indus

lady, and she is sitting rear me now,
whose father left her $1,000 of stock
in a railroad in Alabama. 1t was good
stock and had good prospects, but the
schemers got it into court and had q
receiver appointed and it was wrecked
and sold to the bondholders for a song
and she lost everything but the GER
ti6cate. When she comes across it
now among her archives I hear her
humming that sweet old song, "This

riding out with a friend and observed
that one Of the horses had a hole in
each ear On inquiring the cause, he
learned that it was to keep the horse
from jumping. "Why," said he, "a
horse doesn't jump with his ears"
"You are much mistaken replied
his friend ; "a horse jumps as much
with his ears as with his feet. Unless
he can have the free use of his ears he
cannot jump. He ties the two ears

PUT THEM TO WORK.

Below will be found a couple ot articles taken from the StGr and Gaeette. We endorse all they say and know from personal obServa- tions~ Shat the facts therein cOtain ed to be trase.
 One can go any day to the prison and sec in the yard where they are confined men laying in the shade of porches, buildings and trees, singing and sky-larking, reading the latest newspapers and period icals ofthe day; joking and con versing with each other and all in all having a grand old time and ali at the expense of the tax payers who toll day in and day out to Keep these men guarded and from committing depredations on them selves and their loved ones.
 It Is well-known here that the prison on the hill is more a place of recreation and amusement than servitude.
 Let them be put to work and that at once is the voice Of the people in this community.

THAT PRISON CONTRACT.

A few zealous, very zealous patri- ots in Arlzona are infating their lungs preparatory to indulgiEg in heap of wind work in reference to the contracting of the prison labor. We think the contract is a somewhat loose-jointed affair, but as to the far-reaching and disae- trouS results of the instrument predicted by those aspiring states men, it Is absurd and ridiculous. The clap trap about the additional cost is buncombe, pure and simple. The prison labor on that great canal scheme is a mighty small portion of the expenses of the project, and the result of letting such prison labor to aid Tn this work under the contract referred to will be far from damaging Arizona. The Ga=ette has no ln- terest in this proposition aside from the public good, but we dislike to hear the clamor and twaddle in- duIged in by men who aspire to be bosses in Arizona. The prisoners are now and have been for years fattening in idieness in the terri
 iorial prison, living on the best in the land and got earning q dollar. Now we say-ifany scheme can be devised whereby these mer can be turned to aid in the develop
 ment of Arizona by building canals
 railroads, highways, public build imgs or otherwise, even if not ; cent of remuneration is given. Vt say put them at work. Hundred: of Mexicans commit crimes or purpose to be incarcerated in that prison, where they get plenty tC eat aud no work. Now if these crime-stained citizens were put at hard labor they would lose that ambition to become criminals The opposition generally to the contract is clap trap. and has nc foundation in either facts or justice -pEOe72ir GHzpffe.

Kellner is quoted as saving he clears $20 Ter acre from all of his alfalfa land, this after paying for water and all kind. of labor, which Is probable half the cost of its production. Yuma has richer land, richer water and that in abundance. While Salt River valley has about half the water supply needed. The work Is to be all done by prison labor, all the cost of machinery and cash expenses is to be born by the contractors. The prisoners as now, are to be fed, clothed and guarded by the territory, and the contrac. tors do the rest, and the Territory receives one half of the proceeds of this large tract of lanG. What will this be as compared with Salt River Valley? if it is all pat to alfalfa, the least iemunerative crop, not less than forty dollars per acre, one half of which goes to the prison or $80,000 per annum, this IS the simple fact. More than enough to maintain the prison, the Insane asylum, and the Normal school, and all from prison labor. This IS what the contract of the prison labor by the Board of Control means, and this is not all, but 1t means water rights earned for this land of the territory to the value of $40,000, for this is what these water rights are selling for today. It means more, and that Is the two thousand acres of land now valuless, will become an asset of the territory of cash value of not less than $50 and more likely $lOO per acre making q total value of from, one to two hundred thousand dollars, not a small matter. These are but few of the good results which must flow from this leasing of idle prison labor, and the people will be the beneficiaries

From the Tucson StaI.
 The Courier is very much cxer-. eiseG over the prison labor contract and declares that the Territory has been swindled, because the prison CTS have been leased at 70 cents day., and the Territory is required to feed, cloth and guard them. Well what q discovery. The cost Of maintaining the prisoners per capita per day last year was under 50 cents a day, and this includes salaries paid to all officials, guards, etc., in fact every expense connect ed with the maintenance of the institution. as we'll as clothing, feeding and guarding the prisoners, and the contract price of this prison labor is 70 cents day. That may not be a good contract for pOliti- clans, or those who want to fatten at the public crib, but 1t is a good contract for the taxpayers. The Star is prepared to establish by facts, that if the prison contract is carried out, strictly 10 the letter, that the Territorial prison will be self-supporting within the next six months, and as soon as the farm is put under irrigation, that the re- turns. therefrom wilt not only SUD- port tho priscn, but the asylum and the normal school as well. The leasing of the Arizona prison labor, of per the contract with the State of Arizona Improvement com pany means more than the support of these public institutions by pris- on labor: It means the ccnstruc- ton Of the largest irrigating canal in the United States, and the re- clamation of more than one hund- red thousand acres of the most pro- duetive land in Arizona, and tbe adding of the tax roll of the Terri tory of more than a $5,000,000 of assessable property. And when we come to think of it this prison labor has been lying idle for the last eighteen years. The contract is all right. 1t is in the interest of econ omy and the taxpayers, and they will sustain it as will the courts.
 THE reclamation ofthe two thou sand acres of prison lands and put under cultivation by prison labor, as contemplated by the con- tract of the Board of Control, means the product of two thou sand acres of land of the richest soil in Arizona irrigated by the most fertile water on the American continent, will be very large. If compared with the lands of the Arizona Improvement Company in Salt River valley, let us see what will be the result. After paying expenses Of labor, and water it is claimed there IS a profit of more than s25 per acre per annum,
