EDITORIAL NOTES.

lu& cOu0Sei TOT QeIanQant h tne Hill-Sharon divorce case, stated in an interview that the effect of the supreme court decision will tie up the whole matter until an appeal on the merits of the case Is heard by the supreme court, which if the appeal takes its reg ular turn on the court calender, will not be before 8 year.
 A movement for the admission of New Mexico as a State is al- ready under way. Congress will be asked at the coming session to enact the necessary legislation. Col. Pritchard, late U. s. District Attorney, in speaking of the merits of the scheme, says: New Mexico is, I believe, the oldest organized Territory we now have. It has a population of 160,0O0, and the welfare of its peaple would be improved by admission. On the other hand the Republicans say that before any Democratic Terri- tory is admitted the majority in the house must listen to the claims of Dakota and until jus tice is accorded to this Territory they will never listen to the de. mands of New Mexico.
 The report that Blaine and Lo- gan were to take the stump for Foraker in Ohio is pronounced by the Cincinnati Commercial Ga- zette Eat least premature" The same authority doubts if MT. Blaine's participation in the cam> paign will be anything more than an informal speech in commenda. tion of the Republican ticket. At the same time it declares that the "spirit of the Blaine campaign in Ohio" was in the Convention which nominated Foraker, and we think it is right. The method of nomination was precise imi- tation of the memorable Blaine nomination at Chicago. It was secured iu advance by the same Machine methods, and then put through with similar "outbursts of enthusiasm," yelling, brass. band music, and flag-waving. The platform, as we have already pointed out, is the Chicago one warmed over. The reception of the Conventions work by the State is also much like that which the country gave 10 Blaine's nom- iuatiOn. There is something very like "sickening thud" audible, accompanied with renewed Dem- ocratic confidence. In view Of all this similarity, it is to be regret ted that Blaine and Logan are not to take the stump. We should like very much to see the campaign of 1884 in Ohio fought over again without the assistance of Marshal Wright in Cincinnati and the secret aid of the Mclean ring.
 The small measure of sense possessed by the head of the Indian Bureau is shown by his comment on the petition of Ari- zonians for the dIsarming of the Apaches on the San Carlos reser- vation. He says when the cow boys are disarmed it will be high time to talk of taking their rifles from the poor Indians. Of course, this kind of talk may do for the East, but any one who has lived in an Indian country knows what arrant nonsense it is. The Indians at San Carlos are fed during the greater part of the year hy the Govrnment; they are we'll sup> piled with arms, although they don't make a parade of them; when they take fancy to go on a little raid for cattle or scalps they arc allowed to do a certain amount ot killing and cattle steal. ing, and are then brought back with their plunder. This farce has been carried on for ten years, and if the Indian Bureau has its way it will be continued for ten years more. The citizens of Ari> zona, however, are determined to put an end to the Apache nuis- ance, and the President will be forced to take some notice of their appeal. They say if the
