force and would like very much to see Captain Wheeler. of the old rang CT force kept on duty here if'it can be arranged so that he may receive justifiable compensation.
 The abolishing of the office of pub lie examiner was an economical meas ure and grew out of the general be- lief that the oG'ce vas a useless one and had been used more in the inter est of the Republican party than in the interest of the territory or coun- ties thereof. During the continuance of this office some excellent work was done in the several counties; uniform systems of bookkeeping were inaug urated which was something to be desired, but with these systems com pleted and some questions of differ ence as to the fee bills settled there was nothing more for the ex- aminer to do. The board of su. pervisors have the power to provide and cause an investigation of any county office whenever they may be- lleve there is cause for it and each grand jury empaneled may do the same thing, hire men capable to make the examination
 There has been no special legisla- ton though some was attempted which would have atrac!ed attention here had it been successful. Some laws have been passed which will in some ways affect the operation of mines. but there was none of a radical na- ture
 The railroad commission provided for will begin the work systematical- ly it is hoped to bring before the interstate commerce commission the true conditions existing in Arizolia in relation to railroad freight rates and fl it is found that some reiiet can be secured for those who are bringing freight to the territory that 1t win be promptly forthcoming. This commission has not yet been named butsit will be in operation fin few days; under the law creating it the commission has no authority to fix any rate but it is claimed that it viii serve good purpose as a means of bringing complaints of the ausrucss men of Arizona to the attention of the national commission.
 One of the measures eractod by the legislature was what was known as the anti-boleto bill. This measure provides that whenever any mining company or other corporation gives to any emDloye any evidence of indebt- edness must be redeemed in cash. This measure was supposed to effect the company store business in various section Of the territory. but it is claimed by these store managers that the bin will not effect any system which they have had in operation. Those who favored the measure claim that under the anti-boleto biI the ac. count books given to the Mexican la. borer will come under the bill and that in the future these "cateras" win be redeemable in cash instead of merchandise.
 One of the good laws passed was that providing for police judges in all the incofported cities in the territory and conferrins upon these courts jur- isdiction for the trial of all cases arising from violation Of city ordi- nauces. Under the decision of Judge Doan rendered last year the justices of the peace were without authority for the trial of cases for violation Of city ordinances
 A great many good laws win bo to the credit Of the twonty-ifth leg isiatuse and only g few have been passed which wnI deserve criticism.
 Republicans have been loud in their denunciatIoh of the legislature. but Republieans have simply been trying to play politics and the Democrats need have no fear that the record og the twenty-fftA legislature will Tozuis in lessening the Deriocratic vsse.
