THE sentiment in this territory in favor of statehood is practically unam- inous. The one great thing desired just now to encourage immigration and capital; to develop our great and mex haustible industries is stathood with all its rights and privileges. In our rock ribbed mountains lie concealed the wealth of ages; in our valleys; on our mesas through our broad savanahs lay the virgin soil awaiting the caress of the the thrifty husbandman; our hill sides furnish grazing for countless thousands of herds; our waterways are arterys of life flowing through the body of land which is to be changed from the wild pastures of Jed to the fields of Ruth and Boaz. This good can in all probability be reached the coming con- gressional session if Arizona falls solidly unto the republican ranks. There is one thing very certain, however, that Marcus Aurelius Smith with his democratic toga will attract very little attention from a republican house and senate. The intelligent democrat, how ever strong the Jacksonian idea may have permeated his cranium, will see in the political situation this fall, strong reasons for voting the republican ticket. Geo. w. Cheyney, on the floor of a. re- publican congress will accomplish much good for the Territory, where his noble roman competitor would simply be grasping at the wind.

CALIFORNIA capitalists are beginning to turn their eyes thls way. They could not set their gaze in better direction. Arizona offers better returns for capital judiciously invested than any other patch in Uncle Sam's big garden.

SOME weeks ago the CITIZEN had oc- casion to announce its belief that the Zacetecas Lottery was a fraud and a swindle. Since then We have learned that our opinion was very properl! gauged. From Mexican papers it it appears that this lottery was an or ganized thievery, practicing its mani pulations entirely away from home. If any of the brethern of the Arizona press, are wiser in experience and poor CT in space for its rascally performances, it would be we'll to draw valuable les son therefrom and charge all unknown itinerants in advance.

THE question of our Territorial Cover nor is still ap open one. Since the removal of Gov. Wolfiey there has been practically no indication as to who the coming man would be. If it is to be an inside party the president will make no mistake in the selection of Hon. N. O.
 Murphy. Mr. Murphy is a gentleman who has shown his ability and trust worthiness, in his present pro tempore position as executive. He has been en- dorsed for the position by unanimous and enthusiastic vote of the Republican Territorial Convention, and by the Unit
 ed Territorial Repu press. More than this he has the commendation of many democratic papers. MT. Murphy enjoys the respect and confidence of all republicans; he commands the admira- ton of democrats. As the head of af- fairs his standard would be a rallying point about which the republi- can hosts could gather without faction, and press forward as a harmonious whole. We have not yet heard single adverse sentiment to the appointment of Secretary Murphy from any quarter, and for this reason and others named. and because we have confidence in the man as a man, and as an official we re- peat that President Harrison will make no mistake in the appointment of Hon.
 N. O. Murphy for Governor of Arizona

HE press of the territory, withou exception, is unit on Hon. N. O. Mur- phy for governor, and his appointment to that high office would give general satisfaction. He is popular at home and abroad and if favored with the distinguished honor in question will make a governor of whom the en- tire territory will be proud. The late Republican Convention endorsed him to a man, thus proving his popularity with the people through their representa- hves.

THE saYi n

THE sayin ange is everyw here observable is a true one. Not many years ago this territory was sad and silent wilderness. To-day it commands the attention of capital and immigration that will soon make it one of the most prosperous states in the Union. And why not? We have the soil, mineral and climate to make it such, and we are rapidly acquiring a population that ap- preciates them.

cate has been postponed, or perhaps defeated,
by the minority Interest, representing less
than one-fifth of the property. The minority
towns claim that the road is worth more
than $1,5OO,OOO, but claim as reason for re-
fusing to consent to the sale that first lien
upon it is not sufficient security for $780,

The death of the King of Holland is hour
ly expected. He has been, to al iptents and
purposes of ruling, through imbecility, dead
Ior some time already, and his demise now
can have little effect except to change the
head on the stamps and coins of the realm,
ana to put new name Oh the state papers,
In this connection it is well worth while to
consider for moment the bodily and men,
tai health Of the crowned heads of Europe
at the present time. King Otto of Bavaria
is raving maniac, and has been for years.
as was bis predecessor, Ludwig. The King
of Spain is only four years old, and is proba-
bly,, in the eye Of the law, an imbecle. AL
exander III. the Gar of all the Russias,
from the use of morphine and stimulants, is
fast approaching imbecility or insanity, if he
has not already reached it. The King of
Portugal, too, has exhibited many indica-
lions of weakened intellect, and there are
not few people who consider the high
flown and extravagant utterances of young
Emperor William of Germany little more
than the first premonitory symptoms of the
approaching insanity which is said to be in
store for him before many years. Adding to
this list Queen Victoria, who is said to be
rapidly approaching the point where medl-
cal skill can no longer stay the ravages Of
disease. the number of frst-rate powers, the
sovereigns of which are well in health of
body and mind will be found to he verv small
indeed. And yet, despite the insane rawlings
end sick fancies of the monarchs, there are
none of these nations where the wheels o.
government are stopped. Affairs run on il
their accustomed round, and the laws
saAd or bad, are enforced as well withou
the king as with him. Louis XIV.'s famou
saying, "L'etat c'eSt moi" would be only
hollow mockery uttered by a crowned hea'
now, however true it was when he said it.

THE BURNED MAIL CAR.

Race of tho Engineer to Reach the
 Water Tank-At Lightning Speed fer
 SIX Miles-One Hundred and Fifty
 Eight Sacks Of mail Destroyed.
 OGDEN, Utah, Feb. 2S.-There was an in- teresting and excitin9.race on the Central Pa si6o road yesterday morning near Blue Greek, thirty-five miles west of here. It was . race against time, and the goal was the water tank six miles distant. As the west bound fast mail reached point six miles east of Blue Creek the engineer discovered that the mail car, which was filled with through mail, was on fire. An effort was made to put it out, but there being no water near the engineer opened the throttle and re. solved to reach the water tank if possible in time to save the valuable cargo. Each min ute the burning train was mile nearer the promised rescue, and six minutes landed the burning train under the spout of the tank. but too late. The interior was . mass of flames and one hundred and fifty. eight sacks of through mail was almost totally consumed. Word soon spread through the coaches that the train was on fire. The greatest excite- ment prevailed, and the lightning speed of the train prevented the passengers from jumping from the cars. Thomas Orchard, chief clerk of the railwaylmail service ofOgden, was on the train. He says that he is unable to give even theory of the firing of the car.
