SAYS the New York Sun: "The ex- istence of most intimate offensive and defensive alliance between the Russian and French Governments is no longer disputed. This means that the Czar virtually has at his disposal the inn mense naval armament of France, as well as his own considerable navy. It follows that, had our State Department cabled word to St. Petersburg, French and Russian squadrons would have occu- pied all our important harbors before the Itallan,ironclads could have rounded Cape St. Vincent. The certainty that at a pinch we can rely on the interposltion of the house of Romanofr is one of the pillars of our diplomacy, and for that reason patriotic Americans are slow to think or speak evil of that dynasty. Fresh it ought to be in all our minds what happened when Lord Palmerston | desired to make the Trent affair pre- text for intervening on behalf of the Southern Confederacy. It was naturally feared at that juncture that British fleets might threaten the principal har- bors of our Atlantic and Pacific coasts. It should never be forgotten that in that hour of need Russian squadrons sud denly appeared at New York and San Francisco. The Russian admirals came under sealed orders, whose purport, however, was as quickly and clearly un- Fderstood in London as in Washington.

WHATEVER people may say oi Senator Stanford's ideas on other questions, there will be no dispute over the cor rectness of his ideas on education as he hopes to see them developed at his new university. In a recent interview he said. "If l thought the university at Palo Alto was going to be only like the others in our country, should think had made mistake to establish a new one, and that l had better have given the money to some of the existing insti- tutions. I want it to be on a different plan. When finished l expect it to furnish a complete education from the kindergarten to the post graduate. am satisfied that the kindergarten system is the true one to teach children habits Of observation and thought. l want to have my schools at Palo Alto admins tered with the greatest economy; not Tn mean way, but economically; to teach that it is the duty of every body to prac- tice economy. Then want the students taught to respect labor, and that it is every mans duty to do something that will provide him with bread and butter {; that labor is natural and honorable, and that when he does not produce he is liv- ing off some one who does produce. l want them taught that labor always has it's reward and that certain amount of physical and mental labor is not curse, but blessing" If these ideas will be carried out in the new university it will indeed be blessing to the country.

 Resolved That it is the sense of the Pima county Republican Central Committee that the county convention which nOmInates delegates to the Constitutional Convention should pledge it's nominees to oppose the submission of any constitution which does not provide for a test oath to voters, on the question of pOlygamy, similar in spirit to that provided by the State constitution of Idaho.

 Governor Irwin yesterday honored the news paper crait by appointing Edwin Gill, of THE ARIZONA REPUBLIcAS, Adjutant-General oi the Territory, vice W. o. 0'Neill, resigned. MT Gill is an enthusiastic National Guardsman Of ex- celent executive ability and will infuse into the militia of the "sun-k kissed land" the life to place it upon basis of efficiency and useful ness The appointment is amost creditable one and rebounds to the honor of the administra- tion.
 From the Cincinnati Times.Star April 'Ol
 Word comes all the way from Arizona of the success of an old Cincinnati boy who went West some years ago to grow up with the country. About four years ago Ed Gill, handsome, good natured, companionable little fellow, who used to gather up news for the public, went out to California. From there he drifted to Arlzona, where he became editor of THE ARIZONA REPUB- LICAN, one of the leading journals of the Terri tory. Recently the Adjutant- General of the Ter ritory resigned and Governor Irwin appointed MT Gill to succeed him. Ed left good reputa- ation behind him here as straightforward and reliable young man, and his friends are glad that he is climbing the ladder so rapidly.

ON THE CURBSTONE.

IwAs somewhat amused at the talk in some of the. papers a short time ago about the spelling of Phoenix, and have noticed how some in the North per sst in their ignorance by spelling it without the "o." l was talking with Captain Hancock, Uncle Lum Gray and several other old-timers recently about the spelling of the word, and all said the name was given by Lord Donald Du Par, and his idea was to name the town Phenix, after the fabled~ bird Oi that name, signifying that here on the ruins and ashes of the prehistoric races new city should arise.
 Said Captain Hancock: "I surveyed Phoenix, and remember well incidents connected with the naming of the town. The first settlement was about four miles east ot where the present city is, and in sight of the great mound and ruins east of town. Lord Du Par, who is clas- sical scholar, had examined with great deal of interest the courses of the old irrigating ditches and the ruins of the ancient city. When we came to lay out the new town he immediately said, We will name it Phoenix, for here, on the ruins of the old, will arise a new city like the Phoenix which, when consumed, arose from it's ashes anew.'"
 Lord Du Par also named Tempe, giv- ing the name in honor of the "vale of Tempe."

ONCE in a while Western man does go "back" home, but soon returns. He finds his brother, his older brother at the old farmhouse. That brother, the hero of his youthful days, he finds a narrow-minded man who, while "piOus" to the extreme, has yet too strong a love for penny to be exactly honest; the milk is skinned, the butter no better than in California or Arizona; the trees are cut from the rivers bank ; the pretty maidens of his youth are buxom matrons now, with disagree ably prominent offspring; the girls, children to his remembrance, are not apprec' 'ated, the villagers, all, seem to lack the fire, snap and yigor of the West. He sadly thinks that all has changed. But he is mistaken. Noth- ing has changed. save himself alone. On the breezy Western plains his nature has been broadened and liberated from the petty shackles of conventional life. He cannot exist within the cramped social sphere of the old home, and back in the West he is again to be found ere many months.
