THE LAWS DELAY.

IL has been decided by the Ohio constitutional convention that in civil cases verdict in which not fewer than nine out of twelve jurors con- cur shall be conclusive. This Is a change which appears to be quite un- objectionable and which it may be supposed that most suitOrs would ap- prove It would expedite the process ses of litigation by lessening the risk of mistrial. and anyone who has had any experience with the laws delays is painfully aware that there is great need of this reform. Justice may be sure. but it is apt 70 be deplorably slow, anu almost any change of prac- tice that tends to hasten its course by simplifying it's methods will be gen orally welcomed.
 Philadelphia is not the only city where the court dockets are so over crowded that cases drag along year after year until the long suffering plaintiff is at end alike of his cash, his patience and his hope These con- JitiOns are general. They are grow ing worse rather than better, and they explain in large part the popu- lar dissatisfaction with which the jul dicial system is getting more and more to be regarded. It is felt, and not un- reasonably. that the procedure by which justice is administered has be- come obsolete and inadequate; that it is clogged by technicalities which ought to be radically revised or who'll ly discarded: and that in the clumsy complications of it's mechanism, in the boundless opportunities which it provides for a calculating and eXpen- sve procrastinatiOn it fails to meet the pressing needs of modern times.
 There is a demand for simpler, cheaper. more expeditions methods which more and more is making itself known and which will certainly con- tinue until it shall be wholly satisfied. It is the demand which had led to the institution in Chicago and elsewhere of the municipal courts through whose instrumentality litigants are enabled to secure at a small expense a prompt and final judgment, and unless the prevailing practice is radically re- formed the people who suffer from it's inefficiency, and whose name is le- zion. will seek and find some new and extra legal way of relief. They are indeed doing so already.

VALENCIA MADE
 GOOD GETAWAY
Trail Followed Four Miles and a Half and Lost in a Maze of Footprints. His Wife Still Lives.

Jesus Valencia, the Mexican who all
 but beheaded his wife on "Wednesday
 night and escaped in the darkness, is
 still at large, with odds in favor of
 his escape to old Mexico, though ev- apprehend him.
 Deputy Sheriff Lew Mickey took up his trail early yesterday morning and followed it from the Valencia home to the river. There it became difficult to keep in touch with and about four hours were spent in tracing the tracks four miles up the river The trail finally led out on the north side and to road that runs up by the Cross cut canal The tracks were followed for half mile up the road and were finally lost in the multiplicity of foot prints. Mickey had to give up the trail. He says he has no means of knowing but he believes the man re- traced his path back as far as the railroad track and there took the ties where he could travel without leaving d sign.
 Whether he came back into Phoenix or went on east or south no one knows, but presumably he is heading for Mexico. He has a brother living in Nogales or Douglas and it is under stood he has been talking of going there, though if he does he will doubt less give his brother a wide berth just now. knowing he would be looked for in the vicinity. If he gets near the line at all he will doubtless try to cross it and lose his identity among his countrymen. It is believed that once away from the settlements he will find all kinds of help among the Indians and MeXicans in the southern desert sections as they seldom peach on bad man through fear of his re- turn to do them vengeance.
 Mrs. Valencia was moved to the Sisters hospital yesterday and was reported as in a very critical cOndi- ton though hopes of her recovery were still entertained.

A CHARGE DENIED.
To the Editor,
 Arizona, Republican:

To the Editor,
 Arizona, Republican:
 Sir:
 An article referring to the Labor Convention held in Phoenix in Jan uary. appeared in The California So- cial Democrat" on the l7th of this month. under the heading of Arizona Trades Unions Declares fer Social ism" Now, to say the least of it. this is very misleading. and the writer of that article. MT. Bradford, of the So- cialist party of Phoenix. absolutely refutes the responsibility for that headline.
 The writer of this fully endorses a portion of that article, >Viz. Indus trially the formation for the purpose of greater solidarity among the Un- ions of all crafts of the Arizona State Federation of Labor" but amongst these same union men, are many who are not hanging on the tails of any political party. but who eff I may be permitted to coin the word) l term "Laborites" These would like to see all political parties nov existing drop ped from labor bOdies," and so strengthen and solidify their own-the Union Labor Ranks-and thereby present an unbreakable wall to any party outside their ranks
 Unfortunately one of the great Ob stacles to this is the political stand of No Compromise" and because of this, our ranks are divided more than they need be, and those of us who are not politicians only gain anything from the body by hard fighting and oftimes causing ill feeling, whereas if political controversies were dropped whilst union men were in session, they would soon become one man and all he would then have to do would be to say to the powers that be-no matter what party--"I require so and So" and I venture to predict the de mands made by him would be granted at the very first asking, for would he not then represent the predominasiag party numerically. aye. and in many if not all other matters pertaining to the uplifting of humanity at large. Now, whilst the writer favors some portions of the various political par ties propaganda, which we could use to advantage. as they have done with labor, he draws the line at "Obstruc- tionist," and this is what, to his mind. No Compromise" means. he prefers "Opportunist;; now in the time we. the Union men of Arizona, should grasp the opportunity. stand together and drop party politics as our plat form and come out in our true cOlOrs Labor Men, pure and simple, de- mand for ourselves what is our due, combining with that true manhood and independence. This was done at the Labor convention held in Phoenix, Arizona. and for that reason. I think the headline already mentioned. mis- leading, especially to those who are not acquainted with the majority at the convention.
