The action of the republican majori-
 ty of the Colorado legislature in decid.
 ing the gubernatorial contest in favor of James H. Peabody. with the under standing that he should immediately resign the office in favor of Lieut.. Gov. J. F. Me Donald is m infamous job which no honest citizen, regardless of his political afliliation, will uphold. The investigation of the late election in Colorado disclosed good deal of corruption and fraud perpetrated by both political parties, but it left no doubt of the election of Ava Adams, the democratic candidate for governor, by large majority. Governor Adams has conducted himself throughout the heated contest with becoming dignity and with desire to maintain peace and save the state from any further dis grace that could be avoided, preferring to sacrifice his own right and ambition for the good of the commonwealth. Upon his return to his home at Pueblo he received great ovation from the people. conquerer iu defeat, Peabody ratified the humiliating bargain which he had made by resigning in favor of Mcdonald, and dispatch states tha, the latter accepted the governors chair reluctantly, doubtless being ashamed of his part in tue dsgraceful plot.

Had the republican party us a national organization disapproved oi joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico, it would have so declared in a national platform; and that would have been notice to the house caucus to re- verse the action already taken.
 "It Is unnecessary to go into the de- tails of the last campaign in Arizona and the strenuous efforts of republican newspapers and platform speakers tt disavow the open and declared policy of their party as presented by re publican caucus in the national house of representatives, and acquiesced II by national convention"

FEW LAWS WERE ENACTED
Only b9 Ont of 27l Bills Passed Both Houses. Twenty Died in Hands Of the Governor

In all there were 27l bills introduc ed in both houses and 69 of these be came laws, says the Gazette. There were 3 council bills and l5 house bills died in the governors office. Some ol these were meritoriOus measu res but so drawh that they would have been imperative. In the case of other bills that met the pocket veto" at the hands of Governor Kibbey were MT. Bailey's registration bill which would have allo wed the residents of Sonora to vote in Arizona legally instead of illegally as is often the case under the present law.
 House Bill 59, in reference to the collection of delinquent taxes, and which passed both houses and was af. terward reconsidered by the house when it discovered that under the pro. visions of the bill boards of supervis. ors would be allowed to compromise back tax matters, was another of the bills that died in the ''pocket veto"
 The other measures that died in the governors hands were
 c. B. 35-An act exempting certain persons from jury duty.
 c. B. 44-An act relating tO actions for personal injuries.
 C. B. IS-An act relating to actions for personal injuries resulting in death.

A Better Job

A certain distinguished minister who is unusually plain in physical ap- pearance, tells this story on himself He was visiting at country house and was being shown around the place by his hosts little daughter, a pretty and precious child of six. She was somewhat shy at first, but gradu. ally grew accustomed to her distin guished visitor, finally asking him, with serious face:
 ''Did God make all things?"
 ''Yes my dear."
 "Did he make you?"
 "Yes, He made me, my child"
 And did He make me, too?"
 "Yes."

The legislative council very properly turned down the bill which the house had passed authorizing the governor to call special election to obtain an ex' pression of the voters of Arizona re. garding joint statehood. Col. J. F. Wilson is said to have advised against the passage of the bill on the ground that if such an election as is proposed should be held and the sentiment of the territory should be shown to be overwhelmingly against iointure the congress if it should persist in passing a joint statehood measure might not give the territory the benefit of pro- vision similar to the Foraker amend ment of the bill which has just died Such an election could serve no good purpose .sand would be heavy ex- pense.

Quarles in Wisconsin. Senator Quarles was discredited and retired by the vo- ters of his state, and his appointment to the federal bench for the eastern district of Wisconsin is an uncalled- for slap at the voters of that state. Ger tainly if Senator Quarles was not wanted as U senator he was not wanted as judge, both officers being servants of the people.

The closing hours of the legislature were prolific of personal criticisms, some of which were so spirited as to cause threats of personal violence. This Is not an unusual thing as ma. lority of the members do not get to know how they have been deceived and hoodwinked throughout the ses- sion till the curtain rises on the final acts and scenes. Then longer conceal ment Is impossible and each one is brought to a full realization of the double dealings of some of his fellows then indignation becomes ocal.-Flor- ence Blade.

One of the best measures enacted by the Twenty third legislature Is the law creating the office of public examiner, whose duty it will be to examine from time to time the records and accounts of the county treasurer and of other officers of the several counties in the territory. The operation of this law should minimize losses to the counties through defalcations, and render cn- necessary the employment of special experts to examine public records. A very competent man has been ap- pointed to this office in the person of w. C. Foster, of Phoenix, who is at present city assessor and tax collector. The question whether or not MT. Eos ter can hold both offices at the same time Is under consideration. If not he will resign his municipal office, his term in which will expire in less than six weeks.

The deadlock in the Missouri legis- lature over the election of United States senator was broken on Saturday last, the last day of the session, by the republicans uniting on Maj. William Warner of Kansas City. While the senator-elect IS man of character and ability, the republicans in the legisla ture have discredlted their party by their failure to elect their caucus nom inee, MT. Neidringhaus, to whose ef- forts, as chairman of the republican state committee, the republican victory in the election last November was largely due. It is q safe proposition that the republicans will not be suc- cessiui in carrying the state at the next election.

Mermaids Growing Scarce.
From Field and Stream.


The strangest of all strange fish must
surely be the manatee and the dugong. The
latter is the mermaid of tabled lore The
dugong lives in flocks along the shores of
the Indian ocean, the Red sea and the Gulf
of Manaar, where they browse on seaweed
and river vegetation. They are very af-
fectionate in disposition, and especially is
this shown in the love of the mother for her
offspring, which is much stronger than her
instinct of self-preservation. Neither will
the male leave the female il she is attacked
and instances are on record where the COM
panions of the manatee gathered around
and made an effort to withdraw the deadly
harpoon 1t is supposed that the rude ap
proach to the human outline observed in
tho shape of the head of the dugong; the
attitude of the mother in clasping her young
to her breast with one f1ipper, while SWIM
ing with the other. holding both above the
water. and suddenly diving and showing
her fish-like tail when alarmed, gave rise to
the mermaid myth, first told by the Arab
seamen. Jules Verne gives thrilling de-
scription of the capture Of dugong in the
Red sea, when its flesh was desired as food.
Naturalists tell US that the flesh of the
manatee and the dugong much resembles
well-fatted pork of pleasant favor, and is
highly esteemed as food. For this reason
they were much hunted, and are fast be-
coming extinct, showing only too plainly
the effect of mans unceasing war on those
whom he has marked as his victims.
