WE have received neatly prin- ted and well gotten up report from Secretary of State, Frolich. His
 report is a fine oue, giving com plete official record of the Territo- " and State from 1919 to the pres ent time. The report furnishes much valuable information iu gen eral. Mir. Frolich has served the State well during three terms. While in it he has not only made the office self-sustaining but a source of revenue, which few ot his predecessors ever did. He re tires with reputation for honesty and efficiency and deserves the credit, "well done thou good and faithful servant" from the people.

The Legislature.

Our State Legislature meets next Monday. It will have some important work to perform, and 1t is to be hoped will go at it with the determination to do it well. The PicAYUNE has lately advoca- ted a number of important matters, the majority of which will come be- fore it, and will now in condensed form review them, and respectful ly ask our legislators to earnestly consider the same.
 The election of United States Senator to succeed J D. Walker, will take place, and not only the PlcAYuNE, but dozen other pa pers and prominent men in differ ent portions of the State, insist that the Hon. J. K. Jones be chosen. None of the aspirants for the posi- ,iou are more capable or possesses more integrity of character.
 The question of establishing a Slate Normal School for teachers south of the Arkansas river will come before it. As said in these columns before, since other DOT tions of the State have been favor ed as to educational insttutions, it will be nothing but right for this Normal School to be located Tn Sonth. west Arkansas, and no bet ter place than Prescott could be selected. Our town, in point oi intelligence, business enterprise and healthfulnesS, stand among the first in the State.
 Our legislators undoubtedly sho Il amend oar criminal laws as applied to murder. Something ought to beIdone to abridgc this cNli. Anu WHSii ohc to toiliiiit''u or attempted and likely to prove fatal, the law should be changed and made Tot balabie. As it now stands. if a man is fatally hurt the combattant can give bond and make good his escape.
 It would be we'll to estab fish a State Exposition bure tu, as it would be of incalculable benefit to us in causing an influx of capital and immigration. A small appro priation would do this work. The s.ate's exhibit now at New Or leans could be so added to and ar ranged in a neat office in the Capl- tai. as to show of to great advan' tage, and coupled with proper ad' vertising would accomplish great things.
 The'subject of anew road law has not only been discussed by us but also by many others. We trust our representatives will enact good road law, either by assessing a spe- cial tax for the purpose, or letting each county use it's convicts for road work, or give us some law that will improve ..our roads. The law as it now stands is a perfect farce.

opium into China against the will and
wishes of the Government at Pekin, Eng
land has had two wars, and the Chinese
remember them with bitterness and
were not compelled to carry any
old man of the sea. The in
dications now are that the United States
have put him upon their backs in the
form of prohibiting Chinese to come to
this country, save under prison rules and
restrictions To remove this old man
from our backs will be difficult task for
Colonel DENLY. If he is right in his
views concerning the attitude of the Gov
ernment at Pekin, that it does not care to
have its subjects quit the empire, and
does not feel unfriendly because certain
countries have forbidden them to emf
CRATE 10 them, then he may be successful
in restoring our prestige at Pekin,
and turn to our shores the trade that
is tending elsewhere. 1t is great
trade and one that should be fostered. AS
Colonel DENLY says, America can have
no possible designs upon the integrity of
the Chinese empire, while all other ma
tions which are seeking her trade may.
Russia is her hereditary foe, and England
in India is too near for China to look upon
with complaisance and Indifference, while
her late unofficial war with France hand
leaps that country, and Germany is ap-
preaching her through Madagascar. Our
position is the most favorable OF all the
nations to get control of China's trade,
and should be the most friendly What
part American i-Chinese animosity
will play in endeavoring to get that con-
troll, no one knows Minister DENLY
goes with friendly feelings and without
prejuice, and this is much.

THE NEW CABINET.

"The king is dead, long live the king"
That is the cry when one king dies and
another comes to the throne it is the old
English theory that ''the king never
dies" he is an institution and part of the
Constitution also. So it may be said con-
corning the Ministry. The men may pass
away, but there is ever a Ministry
But two weeks since and Mr.
Gladstone was Prime Minister and
the Liberals were in power. To-
day Lord Salisbury is Prime Minister,
and the Conservatives are in power If
the Preacher were living doubtless he
would say if he saw the change which
has been wrought in England's political
situation during the past fortnight, "And
this also is vanity"
The new Ministry came to power
under very peculiar circumstances, and
their case has no exact parallel. 1t is
customary in English politics for a
Cabinet TO resign when it fails
TO carry special financial measure, as
the budget gives to the government
the sinews of war. The Gladstone
Ministry was beaten on proposition to
increase the tax on beer and spirits, but
the opponents scarcely expected
the defeat and had no meas
ure prepared to offer in substitu-
ton. 1t was custom which made the
Ministry resign on its defeat more than
the importance Of the measure that
was defeated. The consequence is that
the new Ministry, with Lord Salisbury at
its head, has not the support in the
House that is necessary TO successfully
carry out any line of policy. 1t was
owing TO this fact that his lordship hesi-
tated so long about accepting office,
and which made him desire to exact a
leagues that they would offer no obstruc-
tions TO his policy. 1t was scheme to
make an active enemy passive ally. 1t
would seem that Mr.. Gladstone has made
some concessions TO the new Cabinet, but
what they are is mere conjecture. He
has asked Lord Salisbury to permit him
to make a statement in the House to-
night regarding the arrangement between
the Liberal and the Conservative lead
ers. In all former arrangements Mr..
Gladstone has never yet lost by them,
and it is safe to say that he has not by
the present one.
One of the first problems with which
the new Ministry will be confronted, is
the Afghanistan frontier question, as al
ready, if report speak truly, the Russian
Ambassador, Baron de staal, has been
instructed by his government TO insist
that the Zulfikar Pass should belong
to Russia, so that Russia might be able
to check any advance that the Afghans
might make into Russian territory
There is very great danger of /

THE CHINESE MISSION.

When California did not get the Chi
nese Mission there was much disappoint-
ment on the Pacific Coast, as on the Coast
it is generally thought that the question
or problem of Chinese emigration and
labor is much better understood there, and
is of more vital interest to that portion of
the country. Certain it is that California
has had much more experience with the
Chinese and their ways and their
worth than any other section. Cali
fornia may be said to be entirely
against the Chinese, but so bitter
is the controversy there that it is
impossible to get correct idea of the
question from that source, ard in Utah
the Chinese have either been so few or
peaceable or profitable that their presence
has created no comment. 1t may be,
and apparently is, true that the Chinese
do not cease to be Orientals in habits of
of living or in habits of thought when
they come TO this country. That they
are frugal and industrious is admitted by
all, and to an observer who contemplates
the question from afar, these seem
to be among the crimes charged
against them. 1t is impossible
to believe all the terrible tales
that are told about them, with their
secret courts, issuing mandates that none
dare to refuse obedience TO; and if they
are so horrible and prevelant as charged,
they do not rise TO the surface so frequent
ly as to draw universal attention. What
ever may be the facts in the case, there
is no denying that there exists hostility.
and an intense hostility, to the Chinese
on the Pacific Coast.
Prior to the anti-Chinese agitation and
Legislation the United States occupied an
enYiable position in China, and one that
Will not be SO easily regained as it was lost.
Whatever may have been the cause, it is
most true that the Chinese Emigration
Bill was most hostile to the Cinnamon.
and could have no other result than TO
ALLEVIATE the sympathies and trade of
China from the United States. AS has
been said our more formidable rival for
the trade of China was England and she
had to carry the burden and stigma of
her opium wars with China. To force

CONNECTION.

1t is strange that the visit of Mr.. Joseph
Smith, the President of the Re-organized
Church of Latter-day Saints, no matter
what its object, should create so much
commotion among the Mormons. To
what extent this commotion pervades the
masses we cannot say, but judging by
the tenor of some articles in the NeWS
during the past few days one cannot
help thinking it must be consider
able. 1t is surprising that even the
NeaDS should be so worked up over
the visit of Mr.. Smith, as the proselYtism
of his church has never been very great
among the Mormons. 1t cannot be that
the NeCS seriously thinks that Mr.. Smith
will convert many of the adherents of its
faith. In fact, it is generally believed in
Utah that when man leaves the Nor
mon church he does not ally himself with
any other sect. 1t is very difficult task
to convert Mormons and Catholics, once
having surrendered their faith, to any
sect. Mr.. Smith has a perfect right to
come to Utah to try and convert the Nor
mons, or any other religious denomina-
ton, to his religious faith, if he chooses,
and people have a right to accept or re-
ject his religious faith if they choose.
The NeaUS seems to consider Mr.. Smith 8
visit as a part of hostile campaign
against the Mormons, and on Saturday
last had the following to say about Mr..
Smith:
eff that gentleman chooses to humiliate
himself by acting in the capacity of a tool in
the hands of those who are working an in
Jury to an innocent and conscientious COM
munity, that is his privilege. The dignity
and manliness of such position, however,
is open, to say the least, to criticism"
If we understand Mr.. Smiths position,
he came here to hasten forward what he
believed to be Gods work, and thinks
that the way was never SO clear as now.
The Nea0S and its church also think they
are doing Gods work. Very good, does
that make any difference to any one, in
cluding God himself? That which
makes the NeUS the angriest is the fact
that Mr.. Smith claims the power of rev.
elation. In this connection, it says:
"Joseph Smith may reel imitation
revelations by the yard, but when any
thing of that character comes through
the Presiding authority of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints it is the
genuine article" That is very true, if
one believes it to be. All revelations are
true to those who believe them true,
and there is no way of proving them un-
true. The trouble is, there is no process
by which the person who gives
them can be compelled to come
into court and testify as to
their genuineness. OF course the man
who promulgates them can, but he is the
receiver and not the giver, it should be
remembered. 1t might help the Ne,os to
arrive at calmness in the matter of Mr..
Smiths visit, to remember that the gift
of revelation, like other mental taints, is
often hereditary.

such an advance on the part Of
the Afghans, and Russia is wise to say
and insist that the Zulfikar Pass should
be declared to be Russian. 1t shows one
thing very plainly, which is that the
criticisms and clustering and posing OF
the Conservatives when in opposition
have not frightened Russia. What they
