A Chicago telegram of recent
 date says: "A public meeting oi
 the American Health Association
 was held here tonight and was
 largely attended. Dr. Penu of Paris,
 the accredited representative of the French government to find suita-
 bio climate for consumptives, re-
 ported that this had been discover
 ed at Las Cruces, New Mexico. Drs.
 Danter of Toronto, Robartes of Bos-
 ton. Eggert of Santa Fe, Seward of
 New York and Hartley of Califor-
 nia united in stating that all of New
 Mexico, Western Texas, Southeast
 ern Colorado and Southwestern
 Kansas had health giving climate
 possessed by no.other territory upon
 earth. Dr. Andrews of Detroit re-
 ported favorably upon Honolulu as
 resort" Had the physicians above
 named visited Arizona, they could
 have found a climate equal in its
 health-giving properties to the sec
 tions enumerated by them in their
 report. In fact, Arizona Is possess
 ed of & diversity of climates that
 one can scarcely fail to find in some
 section all the advantages that can
 be found in any single place under
 the sun. Prescott, for instance, is located at an altitude of about 5,6O0
 feet, or little over mile above the
 sea level. It is thus happy mean
 between the severities of the win
 ter of higher attitudes, and the in- tolerable heat of lower ones. Its
 summer are particularly delightful,
 the air being dry and bracing, and the temperature moderate. The town is surrounded on three sides by forests of pine trees which add greatly, not only to it's beauty, but to its health-giving climatic infu- ences. While the winters are not | severe, as compared with those of l the eastern and middle states, the l temperature falls lower than in many other places, and in some few cases the winter climate might prove to be too severe for some particular cases. In such cases, Phenix, Yuma, Tucson, Florence, Globe and other smaller r towns in lower attitudes, offer all advantages possessed by dry and mild climate. In some cases, where invalids have come here for their health, they have found the boon for which they were in search by spending the summers in Prescott and their winters in one of the above towns. The particular advantage possessed by the Arizona climate is the absence of humidity. As an illustration of this, take the winters of Prescott. With the mer- cury at zero, no more inconye nience is experienced than with it at twenty degrees above in the eastern or middle states. The same is equally true in regard to the intense heat of summer in the lower attitudes. While sunstrokes are common in the east with the mer- cury at SS and upwards such thing s unknown in Arizona, and men and animals suffer no inconvenience l rom work with the mercury at over I 100. We would advise those French : doctors and savants to pursue their Ss little further west I han they reached before, and can V 'ssure them that they will find eli ! natic influences equal, at least, if !, lot superior to those sections rec 
 The Idaho Statesman does not o 'lace any reliance in promises of O he Mormons to divide their votes p ereafter, as it says: "The dis c catches announce that Utah has in- D reased during the decade from 1880 !, o lS9O, 63,957, percentage of .45. VI , md tho Mormons in their recent '. pointing to these figures, v six why Utah should not be admit G sd to the sisterhood of states, par T cularly as the Mormons have re- o' ounced polygamy, and the church C, O longer exercises any political in- T. uence, the members of that church h' aving divided among the Republi- c' m and Democratic parties, and ex- ressing an intention of hereafter cting independent of each other in Il matters of political opinion. It
 not likely that any one will take ock in this protestation of extreme irtue by the Mormon Church, 4 hough no doubt exists that in the E Ity of Salt Lake large number of V le younger Mormons are opposed the practice of polygamy and Ill no longer submit to dictation om the church authorities. But an lis young generation of Mormons an not the majority of the Mormon We hurch of Utah, and the ignorant vii asses who do constitute the ma ss, rity of the Mormon Church have sn, n 't foresworn polygamy nor rigid of, ,edience to the priesthood. Itwill Of ke another generation before they for n be trusted.p va
 onr One member of the Constitutional c., .has come out squarely and ainst the adoption of the consti- wei tion framed at Phenix. as will be .Oa .ua en from the following from the ,rOr obe Silver Belt: "For the infor- n ation of those who credit the re- E Tt that MT.
