roo MUCH ROMANCE.

THE imaginative liar of the As sociated Press has again broken out with another account of great and sanguinary battle between Va quis and Mexican troops at some point, not mentioned, lone hun dred miles east from Ures," in which it is alleged one hundred on each side were killed. That this story, like all other yarns with reference to Sonora emenating from Fl Paso, is an invention pure and simple, there is no doubt. But six weeks ago THE OASIS editor trav- ersed the region where the alleged battle is said to have taken place, and there were neither Yaquis nor soldiers in the vicinity, nor within one hundred miles. The Associa- ted Press is very culpable in per hitting the Fl Paso correspondent to continue his yarns and spread them broadcast throughout the country. Remonstrances have been sent, but they are uuheeded.
 
 Since the foregoing was in type the Associated Press has broken out in new place-at Tucson.
 Last week the correspondent at that place put upon the wires, and spread broadcast throughout the United States, an exaggerated ac- count of the recent unfortunate murder of Mir. Gaxiola, near Her mosillo, attributing the tragedy to the depreciation of Yaqui Indians, when there was no foundation whatever for such story. These unfounded yarns work an injury to business interests in large area of country.
 The mission of the correspond ent is to give the news of his own region. He should not take ru- mors emenating from region sev- eral hundred miles away and spread

PLAYING POLITICS.

Under free government, where the people select their own rulers, and where the the public official IS public servant, there must of ne- cessity be an array of electors up on opposing sides; and in leader ship of men for political action there are developed political activi- ties of various kinds-some of the highest order, which are satisfied with only the best and truest well fare of the body polite; others of a low order which sees in public of flee only private snap, and in place and power only opportunity for plunder. The latter class of men frequently liken the struggle and contention for political leader ship to a game, and they speak glibly of playing politics" in a flippant, of hand manner, as they would say playing poker, play ing golf" or playing any of the numerous games by which people amuse themselves or risk their money. All such have no concep- tion of a character which takes part in the struggle from a strong and earnest desire to see the right pre- vail and to aid in its prevailing Upon the make themselves, and in politics to make money, by any and all methods which may suggest, they think all others like themsel- ves-gamblers in place and power; and as they would noi hesitate to cheat and defraui, they think all all others are likewise.
 To the man of public spirit who takes a part iu the moulding of public opinion and shaping of bo litical affairs, it grates upon his nerves little to hear the great con- tentions which may mean veal or woe to a city, county, state or a nation belittled and demeaned by being flippantly described as playing politics. 7"
 (The first time the writer ever heard the expression 1t was used by slick little person who acquir- ed notoriety as an accomplished master of the game" but has since been frozen completely out, having been caught with too many cards up his sleeve, dealing from the bottom and "laying for sleep ers,")
 But after all said and done, poli- tics is good deal like game, and to observe the various conce ptions thereof possessed by various men

 In more ways than one it resem- bles various games of cards; and like games of cards among gentle men, the dishonest player is found out sooner or later and ruled out of of the game
 Now some men play politics like some others play poker-all bluff. They "put up good front" and carry things very nicely for while; but sooner or later some one calls" and upon the "show down" everyone wonders what the "bluffer" thought he was doing.
 Others, as intimated hereinbefore, play, as the skin" gambler plays poker-with cards up their sleeve with short cards" and with trick cry in dealing, and other ways that are dark and tricks that are vain." But like the buffer, " sooner or later they meet with dis aster dire.
 And there are men who play politics" like the experienced and honest poker player, who deals fair ly and squarely, and insists that all playing with him shall do likewise. Knowing the game" is all in the "draw"he follows the deals patient ly, chips along with care and cau- tion when his hands are poor, studies his opponents "play' and 1" hands," is careful not 10 scare him out when the opponent has a weak hand' against his own strong hand" and plays his hand "for all 1t is worth when good hands" are out all around the table, and stakes are high.
 Others play politics like chil- dren play any kind oi game, for getting that it is"all in the draw and that tue game is not out until it is played out" they lose their temper at the first check they re- ceive, " throw down their hands and quit the game, giving it up to their opponents when had they stayed in" they might have "won out"
 Did the reader ever see the game of "panguingui?" If there be any game to which playing politics" may be likened it is that. The players sit at the table with a dozen packs of cards upon the table, all mixed up together, and they alter nately draw cards from the pile into their hands" and play from their "hands" to the "board' according to certain set rules. The cards drawn at one time may be of no value when drawn, but turn in the play may make it so; and the players draw and play, draw and play, and the game is seemingly never out. Just so in playing politics" The successful players are those who keep drawing cards and keep playing. They don't trick or cheat, they don't bluff" thev don't Hthrou douo and ntIit.D

COPYING THE JOURNAL.

Al every session oi the Legislature
more or less time is spent over the
copy ing III the journals Of the senate
and assembly. This job is con.
sidered plum to he given to some
relative or friend OF IL member whu
hns sufficient influence to rakc down

matter racks the brain oi our states
men aud III II measure units them for
tackling the more important quea.
tions that come before them. BE.
sides 1t consumes time and involves "a
heavy expense To the people.
The present assembly has already
wasted considerable time fouInIg with
thus matter. The senate iarmed out
the job without much trouble. The
time wasted Toy the assembly has al.
ready cost the Stat, over 1890 and
the end liz not yet. II tie tight is
kept up. II is likely tn cost the tax
payers over Il thousand dollars be.
fore the favored one gets the plum.
In addi ion tO the expense ui Civ.
ing ont this job. each branch OF the
lrgtslnture pays slOh Tor copying it's
journal. THIS makes the to,nl cost
OF the work very near $1,000 Tor each
session of the legislar uro. This sum
ehouli he saved aud there is no good
reason VIII, it should not be.
The present Legislature should
pass IN Act making it the duty OF
the Secretary ~ State to copy the
journals Of each session without cX-
ira comp-nsarInu. Tins would re-
move considerable friction from the
Legislative machinery, and be ii
positive benefit to the State.
The Secretary of State liz not all
over~orkrd official. He has plenty
OF time, paid Tor by the State, to de-
vote Ia hi- private affairs. This extra
work would not interfere with his
other oiiiciIl dutIes iIs would stIu
