SWEARING.
Society Formed to Put "A Stop TO The
Bad Habit

Swearing. says the Republican Stan
dard, is not only wicked in the sense
of being damning, for the Good Beck
says "swear not at all" but it is also
without dispute the indication of Il
couse, vulgar nature, or a vicious Ild
unrestrained temper. The introduce
ton of oaths and lesser swear words
into conversation for emphasis is a
habit that easily grows upon the .un-
cultured person, but it never ceases to
be obnoxious and repellant to the
nearer, who has any small degree of
refinement and culture; AID 50 FAR
from imparting an emphasis to the
remarks, ii rObs them of thei" value,
as showing the low degree and uniu-
tored quality of the speakers mind.
Swearing as vent to ones untaned
temper and unruly spirit is like hold
ing up the Y ray and revealing all of
ones miserable imperfections and lie
spicable nature.
a movement has been strated in the
city of Chicago looking toward the
curing of this wretched habit. A So
ciety of Non-Swearing Knights has
been formed. which includes in its
membership 2,1O0 railroad employees
5000 printers and all the mule driv-
ers in the State.

KEEPING WARM IN ALASKA.

The EsquimauX of the Yukon region
have mastered the art of keeping
warm with little or no fire. They can
live when the thermometer is at 60
degrees below zero with no other heat
than that given by single lamp, re-
inforced by that of their own bodies.
The lamp is lighted and set in the
middle of a hut so low that no one
can stand upright in it. Around the
side of the hut is shelf, generally
made of frozen snow, and covered ov-
er thickly with furs. On this shelf the
Indians lie in their sleeping bags, all
crowded together as closely as they
can be packed. The entrance to the
hut is through q sort of tunnel so CON
structed that the outer air will be en-
tirely excluded. The hut is thus al
most wholly without ventilation, and
when the lamp is lighted its heat. to-
gether with that of perhaps a dozen
human bodies, make it possible for
any one to live through the winter in
the hut. provided he can stand the I'M
speakable foulness of its atmosphere.

THE wORDLESs VOICE.

A dweller in q hut alone, fed from dish
of wood.
A drinker of the flowing brook. child
of solitude,
A sleeper on a bed of leaves may find
that life is good.
And hear high music on his way that
bids his soul rejoice,
If his wise ear has learned to hear-to
hear the Wordless Voice.
The Wordless Voice it speaks not in the
sylables of men;
'Tis borne along the night wind down the
gimmering of the glen;
It talks among the rushes in the tlutter-
ing of the fen,
1t flows along all valleys where any
brook can flow.
Where any stream can catch the Eleam
of sunlight or of snow.
1t speaks beside all pathways that wind
beneath all trees,
And speaks from all the chanting shores
that circle all the seas
And from the hills that know no plough,
and from the shadeless leas,
1t speaks a language, not of men, but
plainly understood,
BY men who love. below above, all things
and deem them good.
The noises blown about the world be-
meath the scornful stars,
The cannonS of the Captains and the
thunder of the wars:
The sound that tears the tangled years
and all their music mars,
Cannot drown down the Wordless Voice
that from the silence speaks;
'Tis blown to men from every glen and
floats from all the peaks.
Dark for the world would be the day
that saw that Voice Withdrawn;
Then would the day be emptiness, the
race of men but spawn
No twilight peace would fall at night
no hope would come with dawn;
No dreams would haunt the sky line, nc
fancies throng the glen,
The wretched weight of iron fate would
crush the hearts of men.
Up from the deeps of silence the awfu
mountains rise
And I'm the deeps of silence are archec
the sacred skies
And In the peace of silence sleep tht
eternities;
And from the soul of silence that was eel
time began
Comes forth the Voice that bids rejoice
and speaks it's word to man.

Counting the Cost.

The Tribuncs hysterical article of this
morning shows that the Republicans
stand dismaycd at the prospect of the
contests. IL greatly Cxaggcratcs the prob
able expenses when it places them at
100000. In point of fact one contest
would cost as much as four. the same
facts are to be brought out, the same wit
nesses to be examined and the same
expenditures to be incurred so far as
the taxpayers are concerned Scranton
Times.
The Times betrays ignorance both of
facts and of law. 1t is not feasible to
lump four contests into one. any more
than to lump four indictments for fell
ony into one. Each will require a sep
arate set of commissioners, separate
subpoenas and a separate hearing
throughout. Multiply the cost OF serv-
ing 10000 subpoenas by four. add the
witness fees, the commissioners fees
and the miscellaneous expenses, and
see whether 100000 is an exaggerated
estimate. The recent contest in Dun
more cost $1,000. Dunmore's voting
population is less than one-twentieth
of that of the entire county. At the
same rate the present contest would
cost to exceed 100000.
The Republicans are not "dismayed"
They can stand it If the Democrats can.
But the great bulk of the taxpayers
representing both political parties have
small relish for such a load of wan
tonly incurred expense, borne not by
the oftice-seekers whom the contest
chiefly affects, but forced under the
law upon every citizen, Democrat or
Republican resident in the county.
If this outrage is consummated we
will undertake to fix the responsibility
where it properly belongs.

THE citizens mass meeting ct the Court House in Florence last Saturday evening presented feasible plan for pushing the proposed Buttes reservoir proposition, and our citizsns are en- thusiastic in the matter. Steps were taken to raise fund forthe purpose of sending Rev. I. T. Whittemore east, in order that the true condition of the In- dians on the Sacaton reservation may be presented to the various religious bodies who have the welfare of poor Loi so much at heart, and who seem to have control of the Indian department. It can be easily shown that with the completion of the reservoir, the In- dians would be supplied with an abund- ance of water and thereby become self supporting, whereas, they are now in half-starved condition and dependent almost entirely on the Government As civilizer alone the Buttes reservoir would be gsod investment, to say nothing of the fact that it's cost would be nothing compared to the increase in the value of Government land brought under cultivation, now valueless, and the saving in supplies furnished the na- tion's wards. Mir. Arthur P. Davis, who recently made an exhaus tive survey of the site for the Government, sets these matters fully forth in his report to the Director of the U. s. Geological Survey, and his arguments are unanswersble. As the matter stands, it is in good shape for presentation to all likely to be in- terested, and this is what the people of the Casa Grande valley now propose to do. There can be no tangible opposi- tion to the project from any source, and none so far as ever developed. Our delegate in Congress, Hon. Mark Smith, understands fully the de- tails of the proposition, and will make it his special business to work on the ungodly and interest them in the matter, while Parson Whittemore will handle the humanitarian side of the question for all there is in it. With such combination, we feel like a liberal appropriation for commencing the great work is assured this com ing winter.

SAYS Missouri exchange: "The Honorable Lyman J. Gage intimates that free coinage will bring no relief to the upright debtor, because he will refuse to pay his debts in depreciated dollars. According to Mir. Gage's standard of uprightness, the honest creditor would refuse to receive his debt in money of appreciating value. It is surprising that we have never heard of creditor who voluntarily sealed down the debt due him because of the rise in the value of money since 1873. Perhaps there are no honest creditors, or it may be, according to Mir. Gage's idea of morality, that it is only incumbent on debtors to be hon. est. MT. Gage is one of those honest bankers of Chicago who returned tc 1 the assessor the enormous amount oi not quite fifty-six thousand dollars as the total money and credits of all ths banks in that great city for the year .I 1894. As there are over one hundred banking institutions in that city, Mir Gage's bank may have had as much al five hundred dollars of money ant credits on hand at the time of the ass essment. As the banking business O Chicago during the year runs up int, billions, the state auditors books O
 Illinois show just how honest Mir Gage and the men of his like are."

THE Tucson Citizen has this to say about. the proposed new railroad through this valley: Good things it would appear never come singly. Within the past two years one rail- road has been built down the valley and now the indications are good for a second. For the past three months a party of surveyors have been at work in the valley and it is understood that another railroad is to be built, but by what line no one appears to know. This new road will, it is said, enter the territory about twelve miles from Cliff ton, thence to the Gila and down it in the direction of Globe, which will be left about twelve miles to the north, and across the country via Florence to Phoenix. It is also said that by the first of the year graders will be at work on the reservation and that the Garland road, now built to Geronimo, will be pushed rapidly in the direction of Globe"

home life be furnished for tbe Ind;ar and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as a consequence. He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at a d;s- taHee where they are kept Gas it would seem) for mere pnrsoses of show. After being instructed in the arts of civilization for a time they arereturned to savagery, to become more unhappy and discontented than if they had never received the questionable advan- tages. We feel that the present poliam of the Indian department is all wrong in this regard.
 S The Pima and Maricopa Indian reservation contains 350, ,0O0 acres of as fertile land as lies within the bound- aries of Arizona, and is admirably adapted for homes for these people, as weilas the wandering Papagoes, who are now compelled to prey upon the herds of our farmers and ranchmen for subsistence.

Ar the University of California, Berkeley, Cal, last week, Prof. o'Neil, of the department of chemistry, in the course of lecture on 1.-The Trans mutation of Metals" declared that the idea of making gold from silver and other metals is not an unreason- able one. The professor believes that the old alchemists who searched for a means of manufacturing gold aid not waste their time, as the science of chemistry is based upon results they produced. He says "there is ground for thinking that gold can be made out of silver or other metals" and that it is not scientifically improb- able"

SOME people say the newspapers are no good, and yet their recent exposure of the proposed twenty-million-doIlar steal from the Government by the re- organization committee of the Union Pacific railroad, in which of course Federal officials were to get slice, has been so thorough and complete ss to upset the plans of the conspirators. An Associated Press dispatch from New York, dated October 26, says: "The reorganization committee of the Union Pacific railroad to-day received an acceptance from the Attorney General of the United States of the offer of an amount equaling the full claim of the government against the main line of the Union Pacific railroad which is some 5S,OO0, 900. Therefore the sale of the road will proceed with out interference, it is assumed"
