FOR STATEHOOD.

Notwithstanding the fact tbat TIE REPUBLICAN has announced that it fa- vored statehood under a constitution acceptable to Congress and President Harrison, the Gazette sees fit to make the assertion that we are opposed to statehood.
 As matter of fact TIE REPUBLICAN is the only paper in Arizona supporting statehood in an intelligent manner. Others have urged nasty, hot-headed ac- tion, with the result that the territory has been plunged into much useless and unnecessary expense. Had the calling of the constitutional convention been postponed until an enabling act had been passed by Congress, not only would the expenses of the convention have been paid by the general govern ment, but the chances for admission would have been greatly improved.
 As it is, with the views which Presi- dent Harrison has expressed upon the subject, there is no hope for statehood under this constitution, and the work must all be gone over again. TIE RE- PUBLICAN believes that should Congress pass an enabling act, and convention be held under that act, and a constitu- tion framed to meet the requirements pointed out by the President, Arizona would be admitted, but time and money spent urging it's admission under the present constitution is absolutely thrown away.
 THE REPUBLICAN, as the true friend of statehood, urges that it's advocates go about this matter in reasonable and intelligent manner, which means that we must commence again at the begin ming. Time spent in trying to bolster up a constitution condemned in ad- vance is utterly useless.

agitating the question of it's abolish ment.
 The secrecy feature of the existing law is justly condemned as opposed to the interests of the public and the pro- lection of such rights as even q con- demned person retains. It is not, how ever. the only bad feature. There is another, even more offensive to the sen timents of humanity prevalent in this age, and that is the mutilation of the dead. Tho compulsory autopsy was abolished in England over fifty years ago as relic of the times when the bodies of executed criminals were quar- tered and otherwise barbarously treated. It has been for the state of New York to revive the inhumanity which England has long outgrown. The mutilation is, of course, not q punishment of the dead, but an out rage to the feelings of the living re,a- tives, in all probability already borne down by the shame and notoriety of the execution.
 The most obnoxious incident of capital punishment is the disgrace it brings on the family of the criminal. There was no more worthy and cultured family in Massachusetts than that of Webster, who killed Dr. Parkman. Notwithstanding the fact that the kind ness of friends sought in every way to soften the blow, they could not endure the ignominy, and they left their native land to live in misery and die in exile.
 Other more recent instances might be mentioned. And the shock to the inno- cent must be much more cruel when the body delivered to friends is mutilated beyond recognition. Where there are friends to claim the remains of a crimi- nal mutilation should not be permitted without their consent.

= Newspaper Laws.

The following are the laws laid down
by the United States Government for
the protection of newspapers: :sg
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered az
wishing to. continue their subscription
Ifsubscribers order the discontinuance
of their periodicals, the publisher may
continue to send them until all arrear-
ages are paid. <s 81.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers and
papers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the Office before
removing and leaving them uncalled for
is prima facie evidence of intentional
fraud. r =ss. ~ ..s ..< 49,:
Ifsubscribers pay in advance, they are
bound to give notice to the publisher at
the end Of their time. if they do not
wish to continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it on and
the subscriber will be responsible until
an express notice, with payment of all
arrears is sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspap ers can under
law, arrest any man for fraud who takes
a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under
this law it is dangerous trick for man
to allow his subscription account to run
