FoB the information Of members of the legislature, who are under the impression that THE CITIZEN office IS not prepared to print current bills promptly, we take this opportunity to say that it is ready to do such work and in good order; and could have done likewise at each of the two pre- vious sessions. In 1871, not one bill was printed. In 1873, but one of one page was printed. We are not making a bid for work, but members having called to see if we could do it, we regard this notice proper

NEARLY all our readers are patrons of large papers which have more space than useful ideas or news. As such will review the past year and tell what ought to be done in this, but set no example by their own practice, we will leave that old, stale and superfuous job to them, and simply hope for Happy New Year to all mankind.

The most notable and needed, too, inl- provement Of the year. is now going on by James II. Toole in the property occu- pied by Lord X Williams and the postof- tice-John B. Allen, contractor. An open space in the rear reaching sixty feet back to the warehouse, is 10 be converted into a fine retail Store-room with counter on each side and large space between for customers. This addition will form the long part of an l., the eastern end conncc- ting directly with a store-room, and the western with the old retail room on Main and Congress streets. The pOstoffice room will be entirely reconstructed and be made the most convenient in Arizona. There will be one hundred and twenty-eight glass and thirty-three lock boxes-appli- cations for which can be made at any time. The box rent will be put low; and right here it may as well be stated that all the revenue from boxes goes directly 10 government and mol 10 the postmaster as many believe. The boxes will face on Congress street, with the same entrance as at present, with the addition of anoth- CT entrance by an archway from the Main street room Of the store. There will very properly be no public entrance 10 the in- terior Of the postal department. After all the Improvements about the establishment are complete, we'll again make a note Of them.

The unwritten law Of personal inter
course Is constantly violated by the
conductors of our street cars. Now,
the conductors know that we are, and
have been, their defenders against
many of the accusations made against
them unjustly, as we think, and that
we have supported them and spoken
for them when from other quarters
they had only reproaches and de-
nunciatinn. But we cannot Gp-
pear as uE~ defender In this
respect, as u -Aich there is
not a little complaint, although it is
not publicly made. Many Of them
rarely allow a lady to enter or to leave
a car without taking her by the arm.
They 'pass her IN" or they ''pass her
out" and they not unfrequently put a
hand upon a woman waist or shoulder
This Is done, we are sure, without the
slightest intention or consciousness of
impropriety, partly from good nature,
and partly with the intention to
'huITy up" matters a little. But it is
none the less offensive to most Of the
women who are subjected to such hand
ling on the part Of a strange man.
Unless a woman is lame, or decrepit
with age, or weakened by illness o. by
fright, she would much rather be left
to her own capability Of locomotion
than to be hoisted or pushed
about by a stranger, even with the
best intentions; and IN the exceptional
cases Of age, illness, and so forth, the
manual assistance rendered her must
be marked not only Dy kind intentions
but by a conscious and ndmanifestrespect
TO meet the welcome which even It's
benevolent purpose deserves. We are
sure that the ladies will thank US for
saying this; and therefore the conduc-
tors shouldn't least not take 1t IN
kindly.


Is it not, however, women only who
are daily annoyed IN this respect. Men
object almost as strongly as women do
to the unnecessary familiarity with
which they are often treated in
the street cars. Some conductors
seem Is have lost their tongues. Their
way Of intimating that they would
like to receive five cents from a male
passenger IS by piuchng his arm, or
by giving him a prod with stiffeneG
fOrefnger in the thigh, if he is sitting,
II the shoulder, if standing. Open
complaint Of this Is rare; but only be-
cause the men Who most dislike such
personal liberties are Just those who
most dislike to make a scene IN a car.

a single case Of consumption which Origi-
mated upon the table lands OF on the sides
of the mountains more than 600 feet above
the river. In the country traversed by him,
with population Of over 1900 living on
these table lands there was not a single
original case Of consumption. There were
cases, but they originated in the valleys
and had come upon the mountain in search
of health.


This is certainly a remarkable fact, and
would indicate that the elevated table
lands of the ridge are peculiarly blessed.
No such exemption from consumption has
been reported to exist in any other locality.

THE Berlin h,dustric BIatter states
that eggs may be preserved In condl-

solution of water glass or silicate OF soda.
There is chemical compound formed
upon the shell which is impervious to
air. and which closes the pores of the
shell. The solution of water glass must
be concentrated until it is of sirupy
consistence. The fresh eggs (newly laid
are cleaned and put into a shallow pan
with the solution, and turned SO that
every part of the shell is exposed to the
water glass. After half an hour the
eggs are taken out, dried, and packed in
chaff in a dry, cool place.

The startling report from Georgia that
a negro insurrection has been discovered
in Washington and jefferson counties
may be accepted with a very large
grain of salt The idea that the negroes
in two Georgia counties had planned to mas
sacre all the whites on a given day is as
preposterous as any tale that has been told
of late. Washington county has, according
to the census Of 1870, 1880 whites and 1912
blacks jefferson has 4, DAT whites and 7,943
blacks. The two counties lie in the eastern
middle of the State in the latitude of Macon,
and in the cotton region. Wherever, in the
South, the negro is more numerous than the
whites, the planters live in secret dread of a
negro insurrection, and so living they are
very apt to lose their presence of mind on
very slight pretexts. But there is no danger
of a negro insurrection anywhere in the
South, and least of all in Georgia, where the
blacks have been kept under, and where
they think good deal more of moving west
ward to some other cotton State than of
numbering their white neighbors. We trust
that the Governor will see to it that a
InorouSn lh'estlSaCloh VI tHls IePort Is maue,
so that no injustice shall be done. 1t will,
probably, be discovered that some ruffans
have lawlessly interfered with the rights of
the blacks and aroused these to self-defence,
which they are too apt to decline. This is
the most probable explanation of this negro
insurrection story. The fact that eighty
blacks were arrested and put in Jail without
opposition, or fight or bloodshed, shows
sufficiently that the negroes had not put on
their war paint and if fight is precipitated
we fear it will come from unruly whites
rather than sanguinary blacks. Governor
Smith discredits the story in refusing to send
the militia to find the insurrection.

The trustees of the free excursion fund
announce that they are unable to give
a picnic this week for the reason that
there is not money enough in the treas
ury. This will be sad news in many a
home; for thousands of children are still
looking forward to the holiday they hope to
enjoy under the auspices of the fund.
Already seven thousand boys and girls of
tender age have been taken away from the
city for a delightful sail on the Sound, q
bath in clean tide water and a ramble in cool
and shady woods. The expense was
81, SS6 o., or about forty-one cents for each
child. For this insignificant sum abundant
food of excellent quality was provided and
all kinds of amusements furnished, such
as bands, shows, games. When we con-
slider how much has been accomplished by
thoughtful and honest expenditure it is sur
prising that the trustees should be compelled
to ask for money. These free picnics have
done great deal in the way of elevating the
character of our street children, a fact well
known to those cognizant of the nature Of
these waits. 1t Isl therefore, great pity
that charity which secures so rapid and
great return should be permitted TO lam
guish for want of funds. Contributions

nothing The truth is that if a second term
proper. SO long as we leave it optional to
the President to be q candidate for re-elec-
tion and to politicians TO have it in their
power to nominate him so long we have this
danger of Cesarism. The logical application
of the argument against the third term is an
amendment to the constitution limiting the
Presidency to one term. We cannot accept
as sincere declarations against the third term
which do not take this form. President
Grant is to-day the strongest candidate in the
republican party. SO long as men as emil
nent and Independent as Judge Pierrepont
act in silence and say nothing in favor of the
one term principle, they encourage Cesar
ism. SO long as State conventions like those
of Minnesota Ohio and Pennsylvania do not
close the door against Grant, but leave it
ajar, so that he may or may not be a candi-
date with their unquestioned support, we
shall have his nomination a living question.
This more especially if the wild men Of Ohio
and the Western States insist upon denounc-
ing every holder of bonds as a coupon

The policy of Grant and his followers is to
nurse some exciting issue into gigantic inn
portance-so something like initiation in the
West, or war with Mexico or Spain-and in
the emergency thus created to force his
nomination and reelection as a necessity"
The halting phrases of republicans like
those in Minnesota, the meek meditations
of the Attorney General at the spouting
springs, instead of preventing this calamity
will only encourage it. We have as yet to
hear a single declaration from any republican
of importance or from any representative re-
publican convention that would make it i'm
possible for them to support President Grant
if he became a candidate for a third term.
The republican party is committed to the
third term issue. The only way to make its
record worthy is to accept the teachings of
Clay and Sumner and Greeley, and to avow
it as fundamental principle of republican
government that our chief officer shall hold
office for one term and be ineligible for re-
election.

In spite ofan earnest effort to admire the tone
of Mr.. jefferson Davis letter there is some
thing laughable in the reason he assigns for
declining the invitation of an agricultural
society in Illinois to deliver their annual
address. His reasoning is cogent enough,
and we do not see how he could have pur-
sued any other course, but at the same time
it was vain hope in him to expect unani-
nous consent upon such an occasion. We
are not near enough to the millennium for the
fools in the West to be all dead, and we are
surprised that Mr.. Davis expected any such
consummation. 1t is gratifying however,
that, even under the exasperating circum-
stances which made Mr.. Davis letter neces-
sary, he preserved so much good temper as to
exceed any former effort he may have made
toward the restoration of friendly feelings
between the sections. There has been great
difficulty in the way of his uttering the
phrase, ''fellow countrymen;" but when he
uttered it at all it was with reference
to some short-sighted persons who
objected to hearing him address an
agricultural fair in a Western State. No man
in the country was better qualified for such a
task, and the letter shows that the interests
of the West and the Southwest would have
been benefited by the full expression of his
views. Both sections must gain by promot-
ing mutual confidence and cointelligence,
and in calling attention to this fact Mr.
Davis has done much toward the restoration
of better feeling and, while we regret that
he is not to have the opportunity to make the
address he had contemplated, we are pleased
that the occasion of the invitation was
turned to such excellent account. His letter
is frank and manly, and must do good, espe-
cially in the North.

1t is the season of tramps, and they are
abroad tramps of all sorts. But the worst
sort to our notion, is the political tramp, and
we would warn the people, especially the
Western people, to be on their guard against
this dangerous customer. Against the ordi-
nary tramp heavy built yellow dog, with
short tail that won't wag, is sufficient
security. But what yellow dog will prove
defence against that roaring Cyclops of Ohio.
old Allen, on his paper money tramp, at the
very sound of whose voice any well bred
animal would retire under the woodshed
And is it not evident to the experienced that
if that other resolute tramp, w. d. Kelley, OF
Philadelphia, should raise his voice in Michi-
gan, as he threatens, the dogs will subside al
they might if they heard the myriad echo OF
''the VOLTS long howl on Onalaska's shore Z"
Letno one, therefore, rely upon his yellow
dog in presence of this pest of the season; for
the dog will be silent and even the
most disrespectful pup-a terrier OF
three months old that would screech
his thin note against the village parson-
would probably slip away through the grass
like lizard at the aspect of the regular polit-
ical tramp. An ordinary tramp is only a lazy
rogue, disgustingly favored with his unadul-
terated humanity or with the odor of his
humanity little softened, even little
sweetened, by the odor of bad rum and
worse tobacco. If one analyses the intellect
ual operations that have made him tramp
he must find it made up Of virtues and pleas
ant notions; for what should take this gutter
snoozer away from his handy grogshop in
the slums, save that his fancy, like the lying
Jack Falstaff, 'babbled O. green fields ?" Is
it not an aspiration to lie under the hedges
and the trees. to fill his nostrils with the
s%ss p = ~ NJ 5SsS
fragrance of the hew fiown hay and alto
gether to dilute his vileness in the amplitude
of the rural purity? Is not this the taste that
Chaucer gloriies when ''longen folks to go ON
pilgrimage?" But the political tramp has far
less amiable impulses. He is afraid that the
people will be honest and pay their debts
and that he will be the poorer man for it, and
we give them timely warning to beware OF
his Establishments
