Whom newspapers favoring state. hood for Arizona allege that the only additional expense to ax.payers in maintaining q State government would be the amount now apEropria- ted by the federal government toward the support of our Territorial nstitu- tions {about S25,000) they state wbat they know Is not true, with the view of misleading their readers. There is no State in the Union, except little Della ware, whose annual expenditure, ag- gregate less than S25o,000. 1t is safe to estimate the additional cost of statehood fer Arizona at $l2j,000 and proeabIy $l50000 annually. Are tax payers willing to assume so large an additional burden in order 10 provide more offices for politicians to wransle over?

The partial investigation of the probable extent to which artesian wells can be employed in retaining lands m the arid region is highly CT. eouraging, although the inquiry by the Irrigation Bureau was limited to Kansas, Colorado, a part of Nebra ka, North and South Dakota. Texas and New Mexico, and embraced only an enumeration of all artesian wells bored in those States and tho number of wells now flowing. In many of the districts covered by the investigation artesian wells are an important source of water supply, and are largely cm- ployed Tn irrigation, notably in the San Luls valley, Colorado, where there are more than 5000 artesian wells which irrigate lS,000 acres.
 No doubt if systematic search for arte,ian water, by competent en. gineers, was undertaken large sup ply could be developed in almostevery State and Territory in the West. Ii is to be hoped that the reports sub mitted 10 Congress by the engineers of the Irrigation Bureau will induce the government to pursue the investi, gation, and locate artesian basins where the indications for securing flowing wells are most favorable.

LOUISIANA I0TTERx,

John A, Morris formal proposition 10 the State of Louisiana to pay an nually the sum of one million dollars has been raised by the offer of B. Newgass to contribute to that State one million, two hundred and fifty thousand dsllarS for the privilege of conducting lottery upon the same terms as that proposed by tho Louis iana Lottery. The grant asked for is for twsnty-fve years with the advan- tage in favor of the NewgasS offer, of six million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the entire time, with security Tor the fulfIlmsnt of the agreement, which Morris singu. larly omits.
 What is now asked of the leglsla ture Is to take steps to amend the con stitptien of the State, in order to an nul Article i72 of that instrument, which declares gambling a vice and makes it incumbent upon the General Assembly to enact laws for its sup pression, The value of the franchise FiSibly swells, like a goose's liver un- der the manipulation of French cook, Morris has made another offer, in aa- dition to his first, with a view of securing the Aladdln's lamp now in the possessIoR of the Pelican State, which, evidently, is not disposed to sell for song and lose the tune be- cause of having omitted to take securi- " for the fulhllment of the contract.
 In reference to the lottery bill, then under consideration, by the House, on the 18th, the following was dropped from the lips of MT, Shattuck, mem- Der, representing a rural district; "Gentlemen object to Its continuance because the Northern papers are Op. posed to 1t. What reason do those papers give for thls opposition? They claim that it drains their sections of money which is poured into Louis jana; good commercial reason for keeping it.

This same gentleman, accor- ding to a Baton Rouge dispatch of the 20th, when addressing the House, caused members to prick up their ears, by stating that Newman, of New Orleans, was ready to pay Sj,O00,O00 annually, for the franchise, He also said, 1t is believed that the governor will veto the measure, if passed, and

A MISTAKE.

The propriety of abandoning Fort Thomas as a military post, we are in- formed, is questioned by officers famll' far with the necessity of it's mainte. nance for inc purpose for which it was built The situation, on the verge of the San Carlos reservation, where are congregated several thous- and Indians, Is an admirable location. The reason assigned for the removal of troops now occupying it, that 1t is unhealthy, is not borne out by the official report of deaths.
 The proposition now IS to use It as place for the instruction of Indian children If unhealthy, 1t should be entirely abandoned. The water is pure and cool, and the alleged mias- matte influence arising from the waters of the Gila, If true, applies with equal force to the San Carlos agency also located on the margin oI that stream, and to where a part of the garrison stationed at Fort Thomas IS to be removed. Had the Secretary of War had personal knowledge al Fort Thomas and its surroundings we credit him with too much sense to have issued the order withdrawing the troops, thus giving the Indians free access to the Graham mountains and the San Simon valley and afford. ing them the opportunity of murder ing settlers on their way to Sonora.
