In a debate on the woman suffrage
bill, before the Arizona territorial coun-
ell, a speaker said: I've do not propose
TO degrade the ballot TO the level Of
woman; We propose to bring woman up
TO the standard Of the ballot" To a New
Mexican those words appear to be al in
suit, and the Arizona legislator. in his
opposition to the bill, undoubtedly forgot
himself, for he evidently lowered his
manhood by his gratuitous comparison
Of the ballot to the womsn"-the latter
80 much superior TO the ballot of to-day,
and especially the ballots being cast in
several state legislatures for United
States senators where corruption and the
use OF money are rampant.

TREE PLANTING.

Editors Citlzen.
You have had several excellent arti.
cles OF late on tree planting. and as now
is the time to plant, let US hope you will
continue TO urge the Importance OF trees
OF all varieties In and about our city.
Let US have a genuine ArbOr day this
spring, and lei us urge the governor 10
name the day not later than the 10Th Of
this month, as trees planted later do not
do rs we'll as those planted earlier or In
the fall. There are many trees that DO
well here beside the m~uch-abused but. II
properly cared for, excellent cottonwood
One OF the very best shade trees for
this valley is the box elder, and II can be
procured from the mountains near by
and from our nurseries.
Several varieties OF standard fruit
trees also make excellent shade. The
city pays for millions of gallons OF water
that IL does not consume, 10 there il real
ly no good reason why trees should not
be planted along all u streets, and they
a be well cared for by the city prison
ers At small expense.
IL we could have a 'city improvement
society" II would materially aid our city
authorities in tree culture and other i'm
p%royements. In any event. let us have
al early ArbOr day and plant lots OF
trees. II. 8. SLOWER.

with him. l confessed myself in the
wrong in our business difference and
yielded all points in the new agreement
that was then and there drawn up.
When that was over, we were the best
of friends.
l could not quite forbear taking ad-
vantage of our renewed friendship to
speak to him about Leonard.
"Well, Frank, as to that, said he,
eve had change of sentiment. Since
Uncle Billy"-he always called his
brother uncle-"has been so ill I've had
a softening of the heart. have told
Leonard to follow his own inclination.
l guess he and Daisy will patch up a
peace and be married by and by. He
can marry whom he pleases, for, be-
tween you and me, Frank, all the mon
ey goes TO him.
l knew that this was not true, but l
was glad Uncle Henry believed it, since
it had led to the happiness of Leonard
and Daisy, and l could not help specu-
lating upon the result to Mildred. Could
l win her AGAIN. This thought was in
my mind all day, battling with my
pride, for / was still suffering from the
sting of her treatment of me.
We were all at Uncle Billy's house
in the evening He lay up stairs very
near his end, and only the doctors and
nurses were admitted to him. There
was gloom over the old mansion, and
we spoke in whispers in the parlor,
where the great lamp on the center ia
BILE was shaded as if that room, too,
were sick chamber.
The atmosphere of grief was Cypress
i've beyond my endurance, and went
out upon the veranda for a glimpse of
the moonlight and breath of the even
ing air. To my surprise, found Daisy
and Aunt Harriet there. l could have
sworn they were in opposite corners of
the great parlor, but instead they were
sitting side by side on a rustic seat in
