THE visit of Hon. John G. Carlisle to Mexico is likely to result in great good to both nations. In his address in the City os Mexico he assured the Mexicans of the friendly feelings en- tertained by Americans toward them. and the statement, coming from a man of his prominence in public affairs in this country, produced marked effect, as evidenced by our exchanges from the City of Mexico. Instead of run ming off to Europe every year, it would be more profitable for our prom inent men to take jannt down into the land of the ancient Aztecs.

THE Citizen tries to make a point against statehood because of an alleged letter from Reavis favoring the propo- sition, saying that he wishes to get rid of the present federal officers. By making this statement the Citizen tries to convey the false impression that Reayis would have better chance of carrying out his swindle under a -State- government, when the editor knows (and if he dap.t VI will inform him) that the only federal officers that have any jurisdiction in the matter of land grants will continue to be ap- pointed by the Presiden. and hold office after Arizona has been admitted as State. The question of statehood will neither increase nor decrease Reavis chances of success.

As far as that is concerned. to a man up tree it would appear to be about stand of between Cameron and Reayis.
