The legislature.

1t is gratifying to know that the
press of the state is beginning to take
notice of the prohigacy of the present
legislature. Some of the newspapers
have adverted to the supposed fact
that it is not costing anything, but
this is a great mistake, as the pay
of the officers goes on the same as il
there was d regular session, and the
stationery bills still pile up. If the
house should see to it that a fair pri.
mary bill was passed the people might
forgive them in measure for the man
ner in which they have conducted
themselves. AS an evidence of what
the press of the state is thinking Of
the legislature we subjoin an article
from the FreepOrt Jorunal of recent
date:

An Impudent Claim.

On the heels of bank panic which
was brought about largely by a bru-
tally crude system of taxation and
treasury management, republican
yawpers persevere in claiming that
their party is alone responsible for the
manifold blessings which Providence
has bestowed upon the people of the
United States.
To the ordinary intellect, as says the
st. Louis Republic, it is nothing less
than partisan impudence to deny credit
farmers and miners who dig wealth
out of the ground, to the operatives
who create wealth in the factories and
to, the transportation agencies which
enhance wealth by carrying commodi
ties from the places where they are
produced TO the places where they are
cOnsumd
Everybody who is not a republican
Bourbon knows that our exports OF
cotton, wheat, meats and other food
stuffs are Indispensable agencies in
bringing into this country hundreds oil
millions of dollars every year to keep
our factories, railroads and CONNER
cial establishments going Unless il
can be shown that all this wealth is
created by republican brain and Drawn

asked TO believe that we owe thanks

sons, or TO the department of agricul
ture for the fruitful soils which re

To people of ordinary understanding
| it appears that the country has pros
pered in spite of the republican party
| rather than by reason of it. The stead,
prosperity of the country might hav,
proceeded uninterrupted by bank panic

when business needed every availabl,

itself fraud and false pretender
It's best claim to popularity at TIL
present moment rests upon its adoption

nouncing a little while ago. and it can

Yhe HrgusDaily Short Story
In Little Springs Canyon.-By Addison Howard Gibson
> Cunningham)

AS the pony picked its way up the
wild, rock bordered canyon Ivy Norris
took in great breaths of the ozone of
the Arizona foothills.
"This is living" she cried, throwing
out her arms. 1.-THE folks back home
would not know me- These three
months spent in this wonderful eli
mate have made me strong and young
again. And this weather! Back In
New Hampshire they are having snow.
while out here it is golden sunshine all
day long. My heart is full of the day
Thanksgiving! When 1 write back
home that 1 spent my Thanksgiving
out in the foothills all alone the folks
won't believe me. They'll simply say
I'm learning western ways fast-to
manufacture some big ones to boom
the country"
The last of August IVY Norris, pale.
thin and thirty, had arrived from the
east to teach the Lone Mesa school.
The cowboys on Mr.. Towers ranch,
where she boarded and lodged, treated
the coming of the cultivated little wo-
man as a great joke. Her short skirts,
the boots and the handsome little re-
volver and cartridge belt furnished
them material for comment for weeks.
Even Warde Hughes, the foreman, was
amused at her first attempts to mount
and ride Pilot, the gentlest pony on the
ranch, but he equally enjoyed the pluck
with which she persisted in learning
to ride and the use of the little revolver
that looked so comically dangerous in
her small white hand.
On this Thanksgiving morning the
handsome foreman had reined in his
COW pony behind thicket of mesquite
trees and was watching faithful old
Pilot carefully bear his fair rider VI
the trail of Little Springs canyon. All
at once he became aware of the fact
that a few months had wrought 4
great transformation in the school
teacher of Lone Mesa. The thin form
had rounded out into graceful curves
the pale face had become plump and
rosy. and her awkwardness in the sad
die had given place to an easy manner
that could no longer be ascribed to @
novice.
"She's like a girl of twenty" he SO
liloquized. "By Jove. she's the neat
