Kansas reminds us of nothing SO
much as beautiful, half-spSiled girl
full Of caprice and whim, but sweet
withal. She is never the same for two
consecutive years-scarce for two con-
secutive weeks or days. One year she

burned to a white heat. She bids us

perfect carnival of beauty and bloom,

wintery blizzard which almost frightens
as to death. "How is that for high?"
she asks in her sweetest slang way,

chattels and prepare to leave our way

smiling face upon us, and with the
softness of blue Italy in her eyes, and
With the balm of Paradise for breath,
0he charms away our anger and we stay.
Her wayword moods are over, we stay,
and we build, and plow, and SOW, and
prepare to be happy. Then she let's
loose untold millions of grasshoppers.
and they ravage all the land until it
looks worthy of its early name-"The
Great American Desert" ''This is too
much," we say, 1--WE will give away
our possessions if some one will kindly
take them, we will leave Kansas for
ever" Then she waves her hand and
earth seems Paradise regained. She
brings up baskets of lucious fruit all
covered with golden medals. She

The Ph@nicians have introduced a novel way of laying up treasure in
 Heaven. The Herald of that city says
 there ''was an experience meeting at
 Mrs. Cotton's and Mrs. De Forest
 Porter's." Each attendant deposited n dollar and then was entitled to tell how she acquired it. The fund thus ob. tained is placed in the treasury of tho Lord, for the purpose of paying preach CTS for spreading the gospel. One of the ladies corraled dollar by the ex- penditure of elbow-grcaso in bathing window glass emitting light into rooms of the Cotton block And as fright smart chance" of dollars and dimes was hiyod on that occasion, tho Herald is tongue-tied as to what other ladies said concerning the manner in which they acquired tho coin bearing the inscrip- ton, in raised letters, "In God We Trust, which leaves it to be inferred that they sat on cushion and sewed up seam, while others also sat on a cushion examining their husbands pockets during his protracted morning nap, for the requisite dollar, and per haps, in some instances, leaving them without a dime for their morning tod.

Judge W. II. Stillwell of Tombstone, who has done some tall figuring on state expenses under the new constitu- ton, estimates the increased expense over and above the present cost of maintaining the territorial form of gov ernmont at s75, 900. This amount add cd to the $40, 900 of territorial indebt- edness annually incurred will make an annual indebtedness of Sl15, 900. What the benefits of statehood have to offer against this is yet to be demonstrated.

Apropos of the reopening of the Anaconda mine, it is stated in some quarters that nothing in that direction is likely to be done unless some ar. rangement IS made between the Ana conda, the Boston and Montana and the Butte and Boston companies, where by production will be reduced 20 per cent, or so as to keep market prices at a profitable point. In the same quar- ter it was also stated that Mr. Haggin is disinclined to resume work under present conditions, but there is a grow ing belief that Anaeonda stories will last for some time and be made tool for speculative manipulation of the market.

Late newsfrom the capital city, (which IS erroneously inscribed on Territo- rial maps as Ph@nix,) announces a eau GUS of Democratic bosses who think and act as though the party Of the Tefrito- " was bound to become corn to their mill, but as their mill is an ovsrshot,
 built on a spring branch, they will not be long in discovering that the power IS wholly inadequate to run the ma ehinery of the party of the Territory.
 They are credited with having en- tered Mark Smith, of Tombstone, and Dr, H. A. Hughes of Phoenix, as sen atorial candidates in the event of Ari- zona becoming a State. In this they seem to have overlooked the fact that there is central and northern Arizona, likely to claim representation, in that fog bank, the Senate, and which, con sequently, will not look with favor upon the action of bosses at the capital. They however, are little premature in expressing preference. It would have been prudent for thom to have bottled and corked their choice of can hdates until Arizona becomes Q State.

On our first page of this we present
 Random Thoughts for the People to Ponder" from the facile pen of the Hon. Charles D. Poston, and VIC rec ommend it for their perusal. Colonel Poston is one of the earliest Arizona pioneers now living, and no one is more familiar with the wants of his adopted Territory than he. In the communica- ton referred to, he says: "A great deal needs to be done in the reformation of domestic affairs before going into ex- hibition as a State. It is no use going to Washington with q constitution founded on political iugglery; and un- less the constitution receives the solid support of the voters of Arizona in De- cember it will be useless in my opinion to present it to Congress at all.

The resurrection of ex- President Bal maceda, of Chili, who suicidsd in San tiago, in that republic, is announced by Dr. Francis Rivers and signor Carlos del Rio, who state that they expect to meet him either in New York or Europe. Inasmuch as there is but a single recorded instance of the revival of the dead, we must conclude that the late chief magistrate played possum, in order to escape the vengeance of the Congressional party who were after blood.
