 IN DREAMY OLD MEXICO .
(By Frank Alley

What luxury to ramble away of in this wonderland of shimmering dist ance, where the fair melodious echo of ancient Aztec civilization is fading away before the distant rumble of modern American progress, and where balmy. delicious indolence pervades the very air. A land whose majestic peaks. surrounded by a mystic veil Cf azure haze. seems the earthly haunt of the wraithes of the Montezumas. A land whose fertile plains and valleys will soon resound to the rude awak- ing' of iconoclastic American enter prise. in the light of which nerveless ideals and Utopian dreams shall soon be dissipated. A land of startling con trasts; land with laws. which Colum- bia the empress of the continent could well afford to imiate, and land with other laws that outrage every conceiv- abe principle of justice and common sense
 Here is a land inhabitated by men, whose tender, noble hearts are abso- lutely incorruptible. and a land whose bosom provides sustenance for other creatures, in human form, whom Sa- tan's shrewdest emissaries overlooked in their search for past masters in the art of villainy and torture. A land where senoritas of languishing intoxi- eating beauty. are lined up with wrink- led, wretched. presidential viejitas. be- fore whom the hideous hags of Mac beth would look like angels.
 A land where the brilliant colors oi pa;rician vesture are reflected against the meagre, filthy, vermin ridden hab- ilaments of the shivering. starving hopeless peon; where heavenly music accompanies the most revolting eXhi- bitions of butchery and torture; where sunshine and sugar cane are omnipres- ent factors in the existence of the masses. Where the dogs grow fat while the horses are starving to death; and where the pigs sleep under the bed and soothe the husbandman to heavenly s,umber by their complaisant grunts.
 A land whose fiiligree and drawn work would throw an American woman into hysterical exs. acy; where one can obtain cigar. in the wreathing nebuia of which he hears the ravishing melo- dy of guitar and harp, touched deftly by the dainty jeweled fingers of an gelic beauty. the while guam wretch edness stalks forth in every form, with youth groping in ignorance and crime, manhood wasted in indolence and vice, while "old age, cold and pitiless" goes shivering to the grave.
 Yet this wonderful" country of un- paralleled natural resources, is rapidly awaking. She is rubbing her eyes after her long sleep in the lap of bar barism, and will soon stand upon her feet ready to fall into the grand pro crosession of modern progress. And until her beautiful eyes have become accustomed to the light, she may lean upon the sturdy arm our of Uncle Samuel.

ADDITIONAL COURTS A NECESSITY

The following from the pen of Joe Hammil editor of the Globe Silver Belt. shows a gross misunderstanding of the proposition to establish a cir. cult court system in this territory When all things are considered the extra expense would be nominal and the convenience and satisfaction well worth the outlay. In its last issue we find the following:
 With prospect of the early edmis- sion of Arizona to statehood, it was hoped that the customary flood of bills and asking unreasonable appropria, tions for old ones would be withheld. but judging from the editorial eXpres- sions of several of our exchanges. the treasury looters are already marshal ing their forces to assault the terri torial treasury. A poor farm, an agri- cultural college and a new school of mines are among the early demands and now the Bisbee Review has ex. humed that old cadaver. the proposi. tion to establish additional courts, which has been before every Arizona legislature for the past twenty years
 While We admire the economical streak thus displayed in the editor re. siding in the mountain city, we are forced to take issue with him regard ing his attitude against any additional courts. The court business in this territory, both civil and criminal, dur ing the past five years. has more than doubled, without any increase on the bench, As result cases are contin- ned from term to term and prisoners Are housed in the county jails await ing trial, at great expense to the counties. annoyance to attorneys and general dissatisfaction to litigants.
 : On the other hand the supreme court of this territory is not what it should be. There is a decided ten. dency to affirm each and every decis. ion, rather than affront a member of the supreme bench, who in this terri tory, is also the trial judge in the lower court. While practicing attor neys have failed to express themselves vigorously against the present system their silence can only be attributed tc respect for the court. Federal judges in Arizona are now receiving a snug little salary from the territoJS in addi tion to their fees from the United States government The amount, to gether with saving in expenses in the several counties. wodld mo: than pay the judges forming the ci' cult court. who under the propo SC, arrang ement would have jurisdiction i7 all county cases. :lp federal iudg ?! hearing only Uni:ed States cases an sitting as the slpren2 court of the uei ritory
 There is TO other interest at stalk in the proposition for a circuit cour in this territory except the welfare an convenience of the public. The tim' is coming when the circuit court sys tenn in Arizona will become a neces sity that no man can deny.

London. March 2.-The gale was re-

night and continued Sunday, but with
less violence. Vessels are still talk

been seen off the coast of Northumber-
land and the indications point to the
wreck OF the British ship Cambrian

from the south of Ireland says that
the gale was exceedingly fierce. The
British steamer Pharsalia went

Ihe iron fingers of Denton would
close on the throat of Neslerov and it
seemed as though the struggle would
end that moment, but Neslerov would
wrench himself free and leap at his

cried Nesleroy.
A swinging, crashing blow from the
Americans right hand sent the gov

Denton in Russian. 81 don't want to

He turned without look at the fall

dastardly Neslerov had feigned. He
had risen to his feet and was creeping
upon his eaemy with dagger drawn.

Denton rs he drew his revolver LET

While it might be that not one of the
villagers sympathized with Neslerov,
yet his act was not a crime to them.
With their sordid understanding of
women having no rights. no freedom,
no liberties save what their lords and
masters gave them. the men of this
place looked upon the eagerness of
Neslerov to be married to so beautiful
a girl as natural.
One of them, realizing that the gov
ernor's safety was necessary to their
own, sprang upon Denton and drove
a knife through the fieshy part of his
arm.
The pistol fell to the earth near that
of Neslerov and two villagers picked
them up and hid them.
Like flash Neslerov was upon his
unarmed foe, and his knife was raised

answered that she knew it. She pre-

Neslerov felt his right arm getting
weaker. Denton's knife had slashed
through the sleeve of his coat and
found the bone near the elbow An ar
terry must have been cut, for the blood
was thrown from the end of the sleeve.
Made desperate, he gathered all his
strength for final effort and sprang
bodily upon his foe.
Denton seeing an opportunity and
knowing that nothing but deathblow

plunge and drove his knife into Nesle-
