THE city of Jonnstown, Pennsyl- vania seems to have been selected as a special victim to the wrath of the elements. Not content with the ter rors'of the flood, that filled it's cup of misery, a sweeping fire has destroyed much of what remained and had since been gathered. It's doubly unfortu- nate survivors have the sympathy of the whole civilized world, and it is of the practical kind that does honor to the generous givers.

THE Attorney General of the Unit ed States having set at rest all ques- tion of the legality of the law provid- ing for d constitutional convention, it now only remains for the people to make the best of it and, regardless of opinion as to its wisdom, put their best foot forward to accomplish some- thing commendable in their first step towards statehood. It is of no avail at this time to discuss the advisability of hOlIinga a convention, for the law providing for it cannot be evaded. We may as well accept the inevitable and proceed to perform our share of the work involved in a manner creditable to our county and its people.

THE question of the propriety of drawing par.y lines in the election of delegates to the Constitutional con vention is being discussed by the press of the territory and few papers strongly urge the selection of quail fled men irrespective of partisan affili- ation. While this plan would doubt less be productive of good results in framing a constitution, we must look still further ahead before acting upon it. If the mere drafting of a consti- tuition and its subsequent ratification by the people were all that is neces- sary for the admission of Arizona to statehood, the plan suggested might possess sufficient merit to receive some attention. But when we have perfected an organic law to our com plete satisfaction we are then depend ent upon the caprice of a partisan Congress for the favor we seek, and unless we can present some evidence of our political harmony with the ad- ministration we will erect an almost insurmountable obstacle in our path and probably defeat the very object of our labors. Every thinking person will readily recognize the importance of displaying clear working republi- can majority in the constitutional convention which, though matter of little importance in itself, will com mand the early consideration of Con- gress simply upon partisan grounds. In speaking of the opinion of Attor- ney General Miller upon the legality of the territorial law providing for the convention, the St. Louis Giobe-Demo- crat sounds the keynote to the situa- ton. It says: "In order to get into the Union. however, it will be necessary for her Arizona] to show that she can be relied upon for a arepublican majority There can be no question as to the practical wisdom of this suggestion and in such an emergency it will no only be proper to draw party lines but policy upon the part of the demo erats who really desire the admission of Arizona into the Union, to concedt something to the exigencies of th' situation and permit the opposition tC show such strength as will insure tn, favorable action of Congress when tn, question of its admission comes be fore that body. We believe that !: fair partisan test will demonstrate tha our Territory can be relied upon tC give clear republican majority, but t, insure success some concession shoult be made to the caprice of Congress il its discretionary severance of tn umbilical arteries that now sustain our dependent existence. After W become state and seek no partisan i"NOlS' tllO hSCSeslly iOt OlhpTOIlllS of this character will cease to exis and the full party strength will be ir voked in the distribution of ofiici; service. Our suggestion is worthy ( the attention of the people at thi time and in the interests of the whol territory we trust it will be considere in an amiable and conciliatory spiri as temporary necessity.

THE republicans of New Mexico made overtures to the democrats, through the respective central com mittees, to allow them a liberal repre- sentation in the Constitutional Con vention of that territory to be held on September 3rd, and to dispense with an active campaign by placing but one ticket in the field.

AericulturaI Experiment Stations.


 The first document published under the authority of the secretary of agricul- ture is Experiment Station Bulletin No of the newly established office of ex- pertinent stations of the United States department of agriculture. This pam phlet contains a large amount of infor- nation regarding the history and pros- poets of the agricultural experiment sta tions, which are now conducting scien- tific and practical experiments in the different states Such institutions for scientific investigation in behalf of agri- culture have been long in operation in Europe. The first one in this country was begun in Connecticut in the chemi- cal laboratory of Wesleyan university fourteen years ago. Other states fol- lowed the example, and in 1887 congress appropriated $l5.000 per annum to each state and territory for the purpose.
 All the states now have agricultural ex- pertinent stations. Some have two; Louis jana has three. The total number now in operation is forty-six. or. counting branch stations, nearly sixty. They em- ploy more than 370 scientists and agri culturists, and receive this year $595, 5,000 from the national government, and about $l25, 900 from the state and other sources. A feature is the cooperation between the stations and the depart ment of agriculture at Washington, which is charged by congress with the duty of supervising and aiding the sta tions in their work. The office of ex- pertinent stations. acting with the Asso- citation of American Agricultural Col leges and Experiment Stations. is able to accomplish much in this line. The bull letin contains an introduction by the secretary.
 Copies of this bulletin can be obtained by application to the office of experi- ment stations, department of agricul- ture, Washington, D. c.

All the crimes of the catalogue, from simple petit larceny to the most brutal murders are found in the daily budget of news.

BY reference to our weekly sum- mary of temperature in this valley it will be seen that the thermometer reg istered one hundred and nine degrees last Sunday, an equivalent of about eighty-fve degrees in Chicago or St. Louis. The heat was not oppressive and no one suffered the discomforts that exist upon an ordinarily hot sum- mer day in the states. The rapid evaporation of the free precipitation keeps person cool, much like the porous ollas operate in keep ing water pleasantly cold even upon the warmest days.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Sem
ate met at IL o'clock to-day and spent
quarter of an hour getting quorum, az
ter which it resumed consideration OF
the Tariff bill, the pending question be-
ing the amendment offered yesterday by
Plumb to strike out of Paragraph 557 the
words "except when frozen or packed in
ice or otherwise prepared by any process
for preservation" so as to let the para
graph read simply "fresh fish free."
Plumb spoke in support of this amend
ment, which was opposed by Hoar and
supported by Reagan. Hale moved to
strike out the paragraph; that he said
would leave all fresh fish under the duty
fixed in another part of the bill, half a
cent per pound, and then New England
would fare no better in that respect than
other parts of the country. The discus
sion was continued at length by Blair,
Spooner, Stockbridge, Palmer, Teller
and others. Allison and Evarts favored
Hale's amendment.
Finally Plumb's amendment was with
drawn, and Hale's amendment agreed
to; yeas 90, nays 13, and fresh fish was
placed on the duitable list at p cent per
pound without division.
On motion of Allison, Paragraph 603,
"leather, old SCRAPS" and 636, mica
and mica waste" were struck out of the
free list.
Paragraph 627, mineral waters, was
passed over informally. So was Para
graph $50, "molasses testing not above
Sc degrees by polariscope.
All the paragraphs relating to oils,
Paragraph ga to 677, were laid aside in
formally, so as to have the verbiage
changed.
Having reached Paragraph 100, as to
cedar and other woods manufactured,
.Aldrich moved to strike out of it the
words "osier or Willows" stating that
the object was to put them on the duti-
able list at 10 per cent. Agreed to.
The end of the free list having been
reached at paragraph 795, Allison said he
supposed the Senate would finish the
reading of the bill early tomorrow, that
is the administrative sections of it. He
would propose, he said, to spend the re-
mainder Of the day on the omitted para
graphs in the free list, after which he
would propose to take up the paragraph
as to guns, cutlery and few miscellan-
eous items of that character. Early next
week he wished to proceed with the wool
and wooiens schedule, which had not yet
been touched. Adjourned.

THE CHICKAsAw ARBITRATION,

Secretary Villas, who had been re-
quested to arbitrate in the contest for
the Governorship of the Chickasaw
Nation, to-day sent telegram to Messrs.
Bird and Guy, the contestants, in which
be cited the Chickasaw constitution re-
garding the canvassing of votes, etc.,
and said that in the execution Of its pro.
visions William L. Bird had been de-
clared by the Speaker of the Chickasaw
House, in the presence of the members
of both Houses, Governor; he had taken
the oath, delivered a message, and since
acted as Governor so far as the contest
permitted, although the returns appear
to have disclosed majority for Guy.
No right to review the constitutional
action of the Speaker, in the presence
and with the approval of the Legislature
in joint session. can rest elsewhere than
in the courts of the Chickasaw Nation,
even if they have such jurisdiction.

He presented to the committee copies of
the Samoan Times, published at Apia, CON
tanning an account of the unprovoked
and unexpected attack by German
warship upon natives and of meeting
of consuls of other nations denouncing
the act also the misleading and unfair
statement by the German Consul. Sew
all spoke of the studied, systematic eff.
forts of the Germans in sending out news
from Berlin concerning Samoa, to give
the impression that America was the
aggressor in every case of trouble.
German oppression, ne is further said
to represent, is entirely responsible for
any apparent division of the natives into
hostile faction. He described Tamasese's
followers as comparatively handful who
were threatened by an unpleasant
dilemma. If they failed to keep up
agitation against the native government
they feared death at the hands of the
natiyes, who considered them traitors to
Samoa.
