THE NATIC Al GUARD,
from the X. c. Star.

n
In d well organized militia lies the
safety Of the republic" The first troops
that reported at Washington in 1861 were
militia: the Eighth New York and the
Skin Massachusetts. the latter attacked
10y a mob during its march through Bal
timore. The majority OF soldiers who
fought at the first battle of Bull Run
were militia, whose commanders in
many instances afterwards became IA
NOUS generals, aud great numbers of its
rank and file wore the stars" before the
war ended. By the militia the union
was saved.
Congress during Mr.. LincoIn's admin
istration passed i most comprehensive
bill organizing the national guard, hence,
since that time, very properly. our state
troops are no longer called militia. 1t is
alleged that the measure was inspired bv
William II. Seward. aud of course the
title was taken from the guarde rationale
of France. Perhaps because OF Its
foreign extraction the name has
not been so generally adopted lev
the masses, nor has the organization re-
Ceived that attention and care by the
states that 1t merits. Certainly the
representative companies camped in
NdLIstS NltN toudt, dIe as me looking
and intelligent an assembiage OF young
men as are to be found anywhere: whose
manner and bearing show that esprit du
corps which characterizes the efficient
soldier of any nation, and of whom any
commonwealth may be justly proud.
The states generally should be more
liberal in their appropriations for main
tanning our national guard, and keep it
up TO that standard where It properly Is
a reflex of the military prestige of the
country. and in case of trouble it NAV be
depended upon 10 promptly respond. d.
the old militia did 50 nobly in the ma
lions emergency.

The political gossips about Washington
City have become SO completely dis
gruntled at the long continued amicable
relations between the president and his
cabinet that they are almost desperate
and are bound to kick up a rumpus IN
the administration family. A few DAYS
ago they had break between the presi-
dent and Secretary Blaine worked up
almost to the point of actual separation.
but the secretary is still at his post com
plaicently performing his duties in his
usual eyen-pempered and satisfactory
way. Now the Cossips have Secretary
of the Interior Noble on the eve of step
ping down and out, with the president
in waiting attitude for his resignation.
There may be changes in the cabinet be-
fore the end of the administration term
but there Is no real ground FOR expecting
1t at this time. With those who origin
ate such canardS the wish is evidently
father to the thought.

THE PENETRATING DUST.

The clouds of flying, penetrating, health-destroying dust is nuisance that is universally condemned and loudly calls for abatement. It's presence shows that the present system of sprinkling is wholly inadequate. The health of the housekeepers demand that the dust be laid and that thoroughly and effectively. The work is too large an one to be done by private enterprise, and on the other hand the city government say that they cannot afford to assume the whole bur den.
 What is needed is a committee on Ways and Means. TIE REPUBLICAN suggests compromise-the creation of a special fund to be known as the sprinls ling fund. It would suggest that the city advertise for bids for the sprinkling of all the streets in the city for the period of six months. We have no doubt that all would be surprised to see how cheaply it could be done. The water company can be relied upon for liberal conces. sions, if they are needed. The cost Of the work once ascertained, the fund might be created by diverting one-hal of the required amount from the treas ury, the balance to be made up by pri vate subscription, amateur entertain ments, festivals and other means. Every business man in the city car afford to give literally towards this fund TIE REPUBLICAN has no doubt that tho good ladies of Phoenix would consider il a favor to be given an opportunity to dc something in this direction. No ont suffers more from the penetrating dus than the housewife. It finds it's way into every nook and corner, to the in jury of furniture, carpets, linen anc clothing, not to say anything of the per sonal annoyance and discomfort. w, are not sure but the ladies would initiat, the movement if given little encourage |

A TELEGRAPHIC FRAUD.

On the 20th inst, the Tucson Citizen and the Tucson Star published the fol- lowing as Press dispatch, under the heading of "What Does This Mean?" WAsHINGToN, May l9.-The appointment of Geo. Christ as Collector of Customs of Arizona was most bitterly opposed by some of the Fed. eral officials of Arizona, principally the Gov ernor and Surveyor-General It is understood that General Noble interested himself personal ly in Christs behalf, notwithstanding the ap- pointment comes through the Treasury depart ment. Senator Allison and Clarkson have shown much interest from the beginning in Christ's fight, ss he was formerly leading pol itcian in Iowa. It is claimed that some changes in Arizona appointments are liable to fellow.
 As TIE REPUBLICAN takes the full As sociated Press dispatches it is in posi- ton to say that this is fraud, unworthy of any newspaper. It has every appear ance of having been written mainly in order to enable the use of the head which it was given. It is clearly piece of work in newspaper circles known as ape-vine"-written in the home of flee for temporary purposes. Consider ing that the editor of the Citizen is also Register of the land office, mainly by the aid of those whom this pretended dispatch seeks to injure, it seems that he should have exercised greater oversight of his columns.
 In this connection the very friendly letter from the President to Governor Wolhey, directly relating to this sub ject, would seem to give the lie dierct to this dispatch. So far from Mir. Christ's appointment having any influence on existing officialss, it seems to be agreed that Mir. Christ shall not in the future aid in antagonizing Republican harmony, but that on the contrary he will join hands with the Governor and all true loyal Republicans in working for the best interests of the party and of the Territory.
 The hopes of the malcontents will turn out to be Dead sea fruit.

CHRIST'S APPOINTMENT.

To the appointment of MT. Christ as Collector of the Department of Arizona there was considerable opposition, both of personal and political nature. Among those who protested against the appointment was Governor Wolfley, who based his objection on affidavits and statements forwarded to the Department by former friends and associates of MT. Christ. He stated his objections in a manly and straightforward way, direct ly to the President, with full privilege to have them shown to MT. Christ, that he might have an opportunity to refute them, if possible.
 A letter to Governor Wolfley from the President, which will be found on an- other page of today's REPUBLICAN, indi- cates the motives that actuated the ad- ministration in making the appoint. ment. The President need have nc fears that the nomination of Mir. Christ will in anywise jeopardise the future Of the party in the Territory, no matter how repugnant it might be to many oi the party leaders. Governor Wolfley will recognize the new Collector as he would any official of the government and will cooperate with him, beyond q doubt, as he always has, with other officials, in the best in terests of the service and the party. | any evil will come to the public service by this appointment it will come iron MT. Christ himself, who, should he bt confirmed, as he undoubtedly will be will have an opportunity to show him self worthy of the confidence reposed il him by the President.

THE coming head of the Southern Pa cific system is Col. Fred. Crocker. Pres- ident Huntington is an old man, whose years do not rest lightly on him and whose trembling hands show the rav- ages of time. He cannot hope for many years of activity. His natural successor is Col. Crocker, young, able, earnest, ac- tive. His life has been spent in the service of the company and among the people of the Pacific. He is one of them and in his hands their interests will be safe.

WHILE at San Diego the other day, President Huntington, of the Southern Pacific, said "that he was impressed with the advantages that would result from the Southern Pacific constructing line to San Diego" and that Che was of the opinion that the best way to reach that city from his road was by line from Yuma through Lower California. Further, he promised to at once order a survey of the line made. While THE REPUBLICAN would prefer to see a short line between Phoenix and San Diego, in- dependent of the Southern Pacific, any direct outlet to tide will be vel come boon.

THAT the Republic must sooner or later check immigration is fact recog- nized by all classes and one that is now engaging the consideration of our wisest statesmen. Our population is growing too fast and the foreign element is not being assimilated. This is particularly true in large cities, though noticeable throughout the country. Gen. Fremont's plan to stop all immigration for thirty years might be put into operation with out injury to our institutions.
