THINGS TO FORGET.

NJ you see a tall fellow ahead OF a crowd
a leader of marching fearless and proud
And you know OF a tale whose telling aloud
Would cause his proud head in anguish be bowed,
It's a pretty good plan to forget It.
III you know of a skeleton hidden away
In closet, and guarded, and kept from the day
dark and whose showing, whose sudden display
Would grief and and lifelong dsmay,
It's a pretty good plan to forget It,

or a woman, girl or boy,
That will wipe out smile. or the least way annoy
fellow any gladness to cloy.

Neglect of Spelling.

AT an examination of students of
an eastern university, recently, II was
developed that many of the students
who stood high in other branches
were remarkably deficient In orthog'
raphy of common words. At the eN-
animation referred 10, the prize for
best spelling was awarded to young
student who had received his ele-
mentary education at country
school. But even the country schools
are giving less attention TO the mat
ter of correct spelling than formerly,
as multiplicity of studies abridges
the time formerly devoted TO this
fundamental branch and the country
boys and girls. like those of the iity.
are leaving school with smattering
of much rather than a thoroughness
of any.
IL would be a hard matter for a
poor speller to convince the world
that he Is an educated person, for
correct spelling is one of the best
evidences of culture, and there really
is little excuse for sloyenly orthoS.
raphy. In these days, when every
body reads more or less, 1t is an easy
matter to observe the form of words,
and thus detect any error. in ones
own spelling. Dictionaries are cheap
"a very good hand dictionary can
be had for twenty-five cents, and
where there is a growing family of
young people, there should be both
hand dictionary for ordinary use,
and an unabridged for more particu-
lar definition. A very profitable way
to spend the evenings of the coming
winter would be to have periodical
spelling matches, where several fami.
lies of friends could meet at each
others houses, and find both enter
tainment and culture. Many of our
elderly people remember with pleas
ure the spelling matches" of their
youth, and these could be revived
with profit to all.

A sTIFFNECKED SINNER.

Our friend the Journal Miner does not receive our kindly direction of its attention to its errors in that spirit of repentance which shows that the seed has fallen on good ground where it may bring forth fruit an hundred fold. Instead it persists in a stiff necked enjoyment of its sins and evil ways and gives further offense by as sailing its representatives from this county for opposing the three cent fare bill which it admitted and still admits To be an negotiable measure.
 only, now the Journal Miner con- fesses that that it was not for their opposition to that bill that it chided and admonished them but for frequent and earlier short comings. What were they, We would like To know? There had been no earlier railroad legisla- tion;none in which they had to take sides with either the hated corporal tions" or the people. They had it is true opposed the anti-gambling legis- lation but We are informed that they had no instructions regarding their course in that or in any other matter At any rate the wrath of the Journal Miner if it had not been bottled up was called out solely by the action of Messrs. Davidson. Burke and Hull with respect to the three cent fare bill
 The Journal Miner rescnts the Re publican's alleged reflection upon the gentlemen who signed the petition which was received by the legislature. in speaking of them as unknown out side the city limits of Prescott Their want of fame is not against them but their injunction to their representatives to vote for any kind of anti-railroad legislation is certainly not creditable to fair minded citizens.
 Regarding the pancity of the sigma lures, only fifty, the Journal Miner in- forms us that they were all written within an hour We are now ready to believe anything. We do actually btlltNt AlldA Al4DSt SEE us eh Hftt written by each of the gentlemen wIth one hand. What might they no; have accomplished if they had used both?
 So much for the three cent fare bin. the Journal Miners opposition Of it. its opposition of its representatives l who oppose it also and its qualification of the gentlemen who demand any kind of legislation, just so is is anti railroad legislation. But wherefore this funeral silence concerning the | mine taxing bill the real inceRt!ye of the Journal Miner to it's recent cratic 1 course?
 The Journal Miner informs us rather 1 flauntingly that it does not draw its inspiration from the Arizona Republi- ] can The gods be praised.

The Alaska Yukon exposition which received the attention Of the council yesterday. is to be one of the great world fairs and different in at least one important feature from any other ever held. It is designed to be in s,ructive rather than amusing and may therefore probably be without a Midway Plaisance" or "The Pike" All the money expended is to be de- voted to the education Of visitors con- corning the great west and the north west and therefore the project is made to appeal to the serious rather than to the curious. for it is the seri- Ous visitor alone who assists in full filling the purposes for which these expositions and world fairs are held.

THE ENUMERATION OF MIR.

If we were any one of those forty two senators who voted in favor of MT. Smoot yesterday we would abstain for a few months at least from at tendance at church conventions, wo- man suffrage association assemblages. W. c. T. [. congregations. federated club meetings and such places where women are liable to be found in over wholming number.
 While we do not believe that the women were right in the first instance when they demanded the expulsion of MT. Shoot. the senate. not by its vote yesterday but by its ly-darying with this question has given the wo- men a grievance against itself. The charges which were made against Mir. Smoot were of a character which could have been completely investigat- cd within a month after they were made. IL was known in fact at the time thc.- were made that Mir Shoot was not a polygamist, but on the con trary that he was an able and honor able gentleman. holding the respect Of all his neigbbors, Gentle and Mormon. lis enemies were either political or religious.
 According to reports received from time to time ", were informed that tic reputable ministers Of all dcnomi- nations s,mDathized with MT. Smoot. And We were informed by one eminent divine of that city. Bishop Scanlan. that the Utah senator was a gentle man of lofty character and of great ahi ity.

AS TO SCHOOL BOOKS.

At almost every session of the legis- lature bills are brought forward to safeguard the parents of school chill dren against changes of text books.
 That is the result af a general and al- most universal misapprehension of con-
 ditious in this territory. The misap- prehension may be traced to a knowl- edge of scandaloUs transactions be- tween school authorities and school
 book publishers elsewhere, for such scandals have been frequent and wide
 spread throughout the country.
 The other day bill was introduced
 in the house requiring that sixty days
 notice must be given before a change of text books can be effected. There
 is already such a provision in the law, which further limits the period within which changes can be made at all
 It is a fact that there is probably no state that is. no progressive state. in the Union where changes have been so infrequent as in Arizona. The Apple ton readers now in use in the schools have been in use for twenty years. Comparatively few changes of other books have been made.
 Within the present school year the pupils have been compelled to have mental arithmetics of a designated kind, and it was construed that the school board had inflicted a sudden and costly surprise upon the parents. As a matter of fact, these mental ar ithmetics had been prescribed years ago. but to the shame of the school they did not compel the teaching oi mental arithmetic, and it came about that what the average pu- qil knew of arithmetic, mental or writ ten. was a disgrace to himself. his everybody concerned and the school system generally. We under stand that there has been some slight of the situation. or per haps only a tendency toward improve ment. as the time which has elapsed since the reform was inaugurated has been too brief for noticeable improve ment.
 However. we did not set out 10 crit | icise the former method of teaching or l neglecting to teach arithmetic, but to relieve the apprehension of buyers of l text books of the suspicion that they | had become involved in an endless and | ever-changing chain of text books.

So gess will trie and bic sum of these peaces of gold furniture fur yue to sell. you otter be abbel to git good prices fur them there. (even sec ond hand ones) The boys here play with gold marbels and the hens are fed on golddust so they lay golden eggs. A man the other day tried to sell me some gold stock" I don't know what kind whether it were hogs. CT cOwes, he said they were watered fine.
