 The annual report of the secretary of the interior has been submitted.
 He reviews in an able manner $ the
 mining, agricultural and other inter ests of Arizona, but when the state
 hood and like propositions como up
 affecting our financial conditiony the
 report is fiat" in recommending our
 admission, and, if anything, odfs.ble
 secretary discountenances Arizona
 'monkey.ng" with statehood when
 she has neither wealth nor populs- tion.
 The silver convention will meet
 next Tuesday in Fl Paso. It is
 stated that the principal motive of
 the gathering will be to have con
 gress annul the law levying tax on
 the lead ores of Mexico, thus per
 hitting foreigners, particularly Euro peans, to again flood the country
 with lead. If we are to submit to
 such proposition, particularly
 under the guise of silver agitation
 and for the sole benefit of few
 foreign monopolists, the sooner the
 sentiment of the convention is known
 the better.
 The white caps of New Mexico are
 still terrorizing parts of that com
 munity. The governor is powerless,
 while the press is dumb as an oyster
 from fear of vengeance. Private in
 formation is the only channel
 through which any information is
 given out of several killings there re-
 gently, besides the destruction of
 thousands of dollars worth of prop
 erty. They are composed entirely of
 Mexicans and dictate the politics of
 that land as we'll as lay tribute to
 every interest. Probably statehood
 would be good for New Mexico. A general railroad strike on the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
 systems is imminent. The Brother
 hood of Railroad Photographers claim
 they have just cause for grievance,
 and the railroad employees contend
 against running their trains, for the safety of the public, without the as sistance of the operators. In this latter move the railroad men have the good will of the people and their action in so doing is generally com mended. The strike promises to de- velop into long tie up of the traffic of both roads, and is another obstin- ate contest between capital and labor.
 The PheniI papers are engaged in a very unproftable warfare on each other just now. The Gazette has been making ominous threats for month or more that it intended to scalp. the Herald, and in its issue of Sunday morning proceeded to carry its threats into execution in the fol- lowing classical language: "we beg the pardon of the Gazette read CTS, while we scalp the bandy shank ed, fish brained slur on humanity that with gall, a handsaw, scissors, and haachet, edits the evening flu 
 W. A. Rowe is receiving a whole lot of free advertising by an item going the rounds of the press to the effect that he walked fifteen miles to vote for the constitution. His fifteen mile walkwas not prompted solely from such patriotic motives, but from the more practical busi- ness one of receiving his 8 per day attending a session of the board of It is true, however. that in addition to attending to his 1uties as a member of the board he Toted a great big "yes" for the con- 'titution. The prospective future 'tate of Arizona possesses bright political hopes for MT. Rowe.
 When democratic legislature 'Michiganized" Michigan, expecting hereby to divide the Presidential vote of the State, it is possible that heir vaulting ambition o'erleaped tself. Now that the trick is thor 'ughly understood a strong reac- ion of sentiment has set in against t. A tidal wave is confidently ooked for next year which will ,, 'ury the democratic party out of fight, or, at most, leave them not nore than two of the Congressional listricts and that number of Presi- lential electors. The American 'eople may be led very easily, but hey rebel against the driving pro- ess, and they don't like to be gery- either.-Ex. In recent issue of the JOURNAL q lINER, pr. Hughes, of the Phenix s tazette, was implored not to carry a is threat of opposing the Worlds @ air appropriation into execution, as
 was admitted that if the doctors n onderous influence was set up in O pposition to it he would surely de- a at the appropriation. It seems r lat We over-estimated the doctors b 'ility. as for giving him this credit sl } calls the editor of the JOURNAL ic INER "an old imbecile." Now doctor, 3 are not old, in fact have just el rned forty, and as for being an u lbecile we seriously question your m ility as a doctor, to pass judgment pi any one in regard to imhecilitv ar
