Unmindful of their future hopes.

II has been said by some one that it
were better to have newspapers without
government than a government with
out newspapers, and we believe that he
was about right, for they are so indis-
pensable that we may call them kind
of government within themselves.
They play their part as great iuminaries,
shedding light upon all the world. They
tell us of other days, when there was
bread and work for all; and the lark
sang loud and high when peace and
plenty smiled upon the land, and there
was happiness in the nutshell. They
tell us of the tales of love and romance,
and thus the young minds are bathed in
the soothing waters of Imagination.
They tell US of far off lands-of what is
going on at home and abroad. They de-
tect the crimes of unfortunate men
hunt than down and, bring them to- jus
tice. They spread the eloquence of the
learned far and wide, and thus supply
the food and nourishment to the minds
of all who peruse their columns With
out them, my little readers, we should,
as it were, live in darkness. We should
know nothing of what is going on around
us. Ny dear little friends, there was no
need of newspapers in the days when
that beautiful garden existed of which
l am obliged to speak so often II was
there that erR was planted in the human
heart, and the times of the present show
what stupendous growth it has taken:
1t has reached the very soul of thousands
of what the world terms our very best
men-the leading men of the present
day. All, my friends, the money craze,
the greed of gold, the concentration of
power into the hands of the few is fast
dev0uring the peace and happiness of
our once blest country. How must it
appear in the minds of the learned.
How their heart must bleed tn think of IT,
My little friends, very bad news from
headquarters comes To Us Through the
medium of the pressl tainted with dis
onor, &e,,-and if Uncle n. .misresents he
is not responsible--and we may say what
the good book says of men, that they are
all liars" Now. whilst we can get along
without the new woman, we think that
we need new men-at least, better men
To manage the nations affairs-and they
must be selected from among the bright
est boys who viii have to take the places
Of those who now hold the reigns of gov
ernt-so look out, my little lads. begin
now to brace mp yourselves for the work
before you. Consider yoar responsible
titles In high places as well a. the honor,

Not Enough Women.

It is pretty welI-known by statisticians that there are not women enough ;sto go around ." That is, summing up the whole population and dividing it into two great groups, males and females, there is found to be shortage of females amounting to about i've or six for each one hundred males. The case becomes still more dls- dressing, says the Illustrated Aneert- ea1', when the comparison is limited to single men and women. Here the shortage is considerably greater, showing 0 lack of about fourteen women to each hundred men; and this, too, in spite of the thousands of buxom Irish, German and En- glish lasses landed on our shores every year. In the western sections where have already been discovered the most healthy states, as we'll as the largest ability 10 read and writes only little over half of the single men could find mates. Nor is this because the Mormons have catpured all the women, for in most the shortage is only twenty-three, while in California it is forty, in Colorado forty-six and in Wyoming fifty eight. The great west would there fore seem to be the place for single women to migrate to, aud since it has been found to stand so high in literacy, education and health, it need no longer be considered so ''wiid" as to be objectionable. The fact that there are any single women at all would seem to indi- cate that the girls out west must have rather tall notions about marriage, or that men care little for home life.

Senator Dorsey.

A San Francisco dispatch says: Stephen w. Dorsey, former United States senator from Arkansas and now of Denver, arrived here tonight from Colorado. About year ago Dorsey and William Teller, brother of Senator Teller, secured control Of large group of low-grad gold bearing claims at Picacho, about thirty miles from Yuma in San Diego county. Last winter they interested English capital in their properties and began development Senator Dorsey was unwilling to divulge his plans for the future, but he admitted that he hoped soon to have a large force of miners at work in the Picacho district. His plans also include the erection of a large stamp mill on the Colorado river not far from the mines.

"I've been Q bachelor ever since
 I reached marriageable age," de- clared the man who was wearing a mustard plaster, slipping hot whisky and smoking an imported cigar in his luxurious quarters. "Now I have retired permanently from so- ciety. You couldn't get me to a reception of the royal family if l was cabled to come as the guest of honor. Pm out of the swim and Pm out to stay.
 "Of course, I've gone great deal and have been recognized as a sort of social convenience, to be called upon when needed, but there came a straw that broke the cameps back Some of the girls at 8 ear-by sum mer resort recognized 6 scarcity of the male element and sent an i'm perative call for me.-I showed my usually accommodating spirit and went. They gathered around me like files around 8 sugar barrel and kept up such an internal buzzing that 1 could only make a fool of myself by splitting sentences and ideas in trying to say something. They took me in bathing and they were so attentive that I had to be lowed ashore by the custodian of the grounds and resuscitated.
 "They kept me rowing, or sailing till I couldn't move without ereak- ing, sang to me Hntil I have what the doctors call telephone ear on both sides; and wound up by send ing me home with a mother and @ baby who received message to come at once. As the mother was prostrated with dread I took care of the baby, coddled 1t, carried 1t, and even complied with it's tyran- meal demands for the bottle. When we struck town it was raining tor rents and we walked two blocks to get a street car On that car there were a dozen of the fellows that knew me. At first they just looked at me and sniggered, Then they all filed solemly by and congratulat- ed me. The baby set up yell, the other passengers gigglcd and l blushed deep red for the first time in 30 years I may attend an oc- casional stag party, but woman now hath no charms for me-"

 which lies between the pump and
 the point where the water will be
 delivered by canal on the land, about four miles below the bridge: The work on the big canal will also be commenced in few days at the
 head of the proposed canal. The convicts were started to work last
 week, and in few days the entire force will be earning seventy cents per day for the Territory, much to the discomft of those who don't pay taxes, and are opposed to the prisoners working for their support. Arizona is entering upon new eras
 There will be great change for the better. Governor McCord is getting the Territorial craft fairly under way. The result will be all the Star has predicted for his administration, yes and much more; and the grandest achieve ment, will be the converting of the time of convicts into vast tracts of reclaimed lands, and thus adding large taxable values to the Terri tory as well as reforming convits through industry. The sunshine of prosperity is now beginning te gleam on old Yuma county. Her future Is exceedingly b-ight.-Star.
