A stampede seems imminent am,

A stampede seems imminent among the newspapers which heve been trying to boost Arizona into the union of States. Tie Graham County Bulletin says: "Sorry to see that some Arizona papers heretofore advocates of state hood are weakening on the proposition. The Wilcox Stockman remarks: "A great many are being converted to the belief that our move for statehood is somewhat too previous, in which belief we are forced to join" The Florence Enterprise expresses the opinion that after ar the expense created by the at tempt to achieve statehood We will only have acquired an additional burden of debt The Coconino Sun says that ad- vocstes of statehood In that county are few and far between. The fever in favor of statehood that few weeks since caused the pulse of the Tucson Citizen and Star to give now and then e convulsive thfob has been succeeded by & more healthful beat. The Nogales Herald is now in favor of letting well enough alone, and is showing becom- ing attachment for Territorial govern ment, and, doubtless, will not oppose the practice of setting pewter plate, containing little salt, upon the still born State for the purpose of preven- ting the swelling of the belly and con sequent difficulty in closing the coffin.
 Besides the BELT, the only papers which have not faltered in their oppo sition to statehood are the Yuma Sen tinel and the Prescott Journal Miner, which deserve credit for their uncom promising stand; knowing their position was right they have had the moral oour age to maintain it in the face of the strongest opposition. Their fight IS against the proposed wilful waste of Arizona's substance that the hand of toil might create State officers for pred igal sons of refined tastes and indolent habits Time having effected this much in behalf of taxpayers, what further concession may not be expected, either from the convention or the people who may be called upon to express an opin- ion, ''yes or no" in regard to the ac ceptance or rejection of the mental effort of the convention in the event Of the submission of constitution for the suffrage of all extremely free and inde pendent male bipeds over twenty-oue years of aga, excepting Indians not taxed, and those who are here to-day and some where else the day after the election
 Inasmuch as the law providing for the holding of the convention confers the right upon the delegates to protect those who will nave ito pay the piper, it is to be hoped that they, in framing the contemplated charter, will sufficient iy guard their interest in the all impor- tant question as to whether the tax payers themselves shall elect that i'll addition to the S3, 300, 900 they are already bound to pay, they are willing 10 incur an additional obligation that will enslaYe our infant industries for a decade or more.
 And now, that the Territory is only financially out at the elbows, it is the duty of the convention 10 so legislate as to preserve the coat, and in doing hibit no feebleness or relaxation of purpose.

1t is peculiar inconsistency and
one worthy of note, that the prohibi-
tionists preach and write against the
liquor traffic, and at the same time
educate their children from Their ev-
enue derived from this "damning
curse."-B0Huar County Reuie,C.
Ever since the Prohibition move
ment was organized in this State ten
years ago Prohibitionists have per-
sistently demanded the enforcement
of the saloon revenue from the COM
mon school fund, and it was in re-
spouse to this demand that it was left
out by the late Constitutional COnven-
ton and the whisky advocates depriv-
ed of one of their most deceptive but
most potent appeals for fostering the
saloon. If Prohibitionists have hith-
erto educated their children from the
revenue thus derived, it was because
the old Constitution, for which they
were not responsible, made the saloon
revenue q part of the common school
fund, and they were forced to accept
it in this way or decline to educate
their children in the public schools at
all. There being no moral quality in
a dollar, per Sc, they chose the for
mer.

Farmers Grievances.

The following extract from an able
editorial in the Meridian Standard
presents the farmers grievances in a
clear and forcible light, and furnishes
food for reflection to aspiring states
men:
Small is the wonder with the
thoughtful man, that the farmers are
becoming FESTIVE under their burthens.
The products of the mine, the mill
and the furnace protected; the bond
holder petted and untaxed; monOpO-
lies built up and fostered through in
capabilities and unjust determinations;
the few growing rich at the expense of
the many-the rich growing richer, as
the poor become poorer. One class
reveling in pride and luxury; God wot
another, such is the case, pinched by
penury-pressed by want. The pro-
tOtype of CrOesus in the palace: the
skeleton of want in the hut. The horn
of plenty in the city; hOllOw-eyed
poverty and empty cupbOards in the
country. Bonds and stocks current as
collateral in national banks; money
at 3 per cent to per cent i'll Wall
street; the price of products of the soil
at the mercy of the bulls and bears of
trade. The farmers credit discounted;
his land and tenements under ban
tabbooed in financial circles-ostra-
cised from the world of change
through the oppressive edict of gov
eminent, which prohibits the privi-
legged bank from making a lien on the
unprivileged land of the poverty
stricken farmer, who, to relieve wants
or meet pecuniary obligations, must
seek out syndicates and accept the
terms of protected Shylocks who or
gaHize them. A prey to wolves of
trade, and made so by the govern
ment, his very land, which political
economists and financial theorists de-
clare is the basis of wealth, unjustly
placed by the government under the
cloud, and wickedly Disseminated
against as collateral, is there any
wonder that there exists in the heart
of the farmer hatred to our national
legislation?
With such state of facts, is it not
time our national law-givers were Civ
ing heed to the cries of distress going
up from agricultural communities, and
examining into the grievances of those
who people them? Is 1t wise to shrug
the shoulder or attempt to whistle
down the wind to escape the wrath of
the approaching cyclone9 Is it wise
to poopooh the efforts of the farmer to
get relief from this torturing condi
tion7 Is it safe thing simply to de-
clare the sub-Treasury scheme i'm
practicable and to do nothing to bet
ter the condition of those who propose
it9 Denunciations of the single tax
idea and the sub-Treasury scheme,
because of their impracticability will
not serve to stay the storm of indigna
ton rising all over the country in the
breasts of the pOpulace. This farmers
bill may be wild and chimerical, but
there is more in it than appears on the
surface. Wild or what not, it is born
of the spirit that prompts the drown
ing man to catch at straws. From it,
statesmen must learn lesson. They
must work good from it, or it will be
found loaded full of ruin. Suffering
patience and endurance have their
limits.

MillSaDS College.

At the meeting of the Board OF
Trustees at jackson last week, the
contest for the location of Millsaps
College narrowed down between Jack
son, Winona and Grenada. Jackson
offered 500, 900 in cash and 20 acres of
land, Winona $27, 200 in cash and 20
acres of land and Grenada $4,000
and II acres of land. After consider
ing the subject two days the Board
adopted the following resolutions and
adjourned:
ReSolred, That jackson, Winona
and Grenada, i'll the judgment of the
Board of Trustees, are suitable places
for the location of Millsaps College,
either of which would meet the wish
es of the Methodists of the State.
ReSolred, That the donations pro-
posed by said towns not being in
shape and the particular sites for the
college buildings not being definitely
stated or conveyed conditionally, a
committee of two members of the
board be appointed to confer with the
citizens of said towns touching the
premises, and report to a meeting OF
the board to be held at WinOna the
18th of March, at 9 p. m, for the tinal
determination of the question of To-
cation.
ReSolred, That in response to the
inquiries made of the board as to the
times of payment of moneys Offered
for the location, we answer that one
half of the offer must be paid into the
| bank before the contract for the build
ing is let, and One-fourth by Oct.
1891, the remaining fourth by Jan. l
1892, and each town and city compel
ing for the location shall give goo(
and acceptable security for the per
Torrance of the above condition, anC
said security must be given before thu
question of location is settled. .
ResOlred, That we call attention tt
the requirements of this board, passed
at former meeting, as to the neces
sity for making secure the offers fo
! location, and that we must have a
least $4,000 for necessary building
! $4,000 would be better), and at leas
twenty acres of land for a building
site.

Declaration of Principles of the
Prohibition Party of
Mississippi.

We believe the saloon system the
greatest curse Of our country, moral
ly, socially, financially and politically.
We are opposed To saloons. lottcr-
les, gambling deus, aud houses of
prostitution, aud We demand that they
be abatcd 10y law as public nuisanccs.
We are opposed to- all menopolies
and all false systems of taxation by
which labor is cheated of its proper
rewards.
We favor cooperation and harmony
between capital and labor, and settle
ment by arbitration of any difficulties
that may arise between them.
We are especially opposed to the
giving of the public domain to cor
pOratious.
We believe that the ballot should
represent morality and intelligence,
and that all elections ought to be held
fairly under the law, and that every
lawful voter should be permitted to
vote without restraint and have his
ballot counted. We believe that the
time has come when every citizen
should vote under sense of his per-
sonal responsibility, and not as die
tated to by party leaders, themselves
the servants of the saloon bosses. up
held in our midst 10y the whisky trust
of the Nation.
We believe that the protection of
the lives aud homes of the people, the
delverance of public men from the
yoke of bondage put on their nccks by
the saloon combine, the saving of the
millions of money worse than wasted
in the saloons of the land, the pre-
vention of decentralization and crime,
and the uplifting of society, of more
Importance than the integrity of par
ties which for % years have shown
their inc0mpetency to deal with the
greatest evil of the age. Failing to
rise above party and sectional preju
dices, for party purposes, they have
made the race question a political is
sue, thereby encouraging race conflicts
and preventing the races from uniting
and casting their ballots for principle
instead of Il party. We believe the
situation demands party pledged to
the support of State and National
Prohibition.
Therefore, we invite all citizens,
without regard to race or past politi
cal affiliations, to unite with us to
further the principles above set forth.

A minister at Robeline, La, re-
Gently got mad and took it out of his
congregation in farewell sermon, in
which he declared that church was a
curse to the town and its people, and
that during his five months passionate
he had chopped the wood, carried the
water, made the fire, cleaned lamps
and lighted up the church, conducted
the prayer meetings, held Sunday
Schools and preached every other
Sunday, and the members of his
church had paid him only $40. No
wonder he was angry, especially since
the ladies would give parties prayer
meeting nights, in spite of all he
could do OF say.

who votes this year will have to regis
ter anew. In this county the new
registration will begin at the Circuit
Clerks office March 9Th and continue
ten days. The Circuit Clerk will then
visit each precinct in the county and
spend one day to allow those who
failed to register during the first ten
days an opportunity to do so. A list
of these appointments can be found in
