A CHANGE NEEDED.

The rioters whom Sherifs deputies killed at Morwood, Pa., yesterday morn- ing were Hungarians, it appears, subjects of the Emperor of Austria--so their friends have appealed to the Austrian Consul In Pittsburg and there is talk Of a demand from Austria upon the United States, similar to that made by Italy, on the ground that the men killed were not violating the law nor intending to violate 1t when they were fired upon.
 We may not know the whole story, but the men who were shot were cer- tainly out between or 8 o'clock in the morning, with mob that had cut tele- graph wires, smashed windows and sacked buildings, was advancing upon the Morwood works and had answered with shots a command to halt. Sotheir case looks pretty bad as a prima fdcie proposition.
 Nevertheless, we hope the Hungarians will appeal to Austria to help them, and that Austria will interfere. We might as we'll settle this thing here and now, and for good, and let the world and the foreigners within our gates know where we and they stand.
 It might be a good idea to offer any resident foreigner, who does not like the way we run this country, the choice of holding his tongue or going home again. In Europe they ''escort over the frontier" foreigners who make them selves obnoxious. We could buy ours steerage ticket and see them safe aboard.
 As for foreign dissatisfaction with our treaties, if any nation does not like the way we make and carry out treaties, we do not know that it is forced to have treaty with us. We can get along with out treaties with them better than our friends the Europeans could without treaties with us.
 In short, the time has apparently nearly come for the United States to give Europe to understand that it will conduct its own affairs in the way that seems to it best, and that those who do not like our way can leave us to our own devices. Uncle Sam has been too easy going and too hospitable. The Euro pean kings and emperors think the old gentleman is "soit," and his guests do not appreciate his kindness. It is nec- essary that he should clear up all this misunderstanding. We have been too much inclined to conduct our foreign in- tercourse and diplomacy upon European ines and models. There is a great deal of imperial dignity and royal style about that sort of thing, of course. But a change to natural, off-hand, breezy American style seems called for. Such a change would be a great shock to the gentlemen across the water, but it would save us a sood deal of trouble Tn the long run, and do them great deal of good too.

THE formation of the commonwealth of Australia is the rise of another great nation in the world, the first step to- ward the instiiution of another conti. mental republic. Australia will, in due time, separate amicably from the mother country, and proceed. in due time, to dispute with the United States for the commerce of the world. The area Of Australia is 2,945, ,227 square miles; that of the United States is S,6O7 ,6OI. Aus tralia has splendid harbors, a coast line that is unrivaled, a soil that will grow anything, rich mineral deposits, a eli. mate suited to white population and the population will no doubt increase rapidly as national independence grows nearer

HoN. GEORGE F. EDMUNDs, who re- signed his seat in the Senate Wednes- day, had been a member of that body since April 5, 1866, and, with the excep- ton of Senator sherman, was the oldest member of the Senate in point of ser vice. Senator Edmunds is native of the State he so highly honored, having been born at Richmond, Vermont, February l, 1928. He studied and prac. ticed law and was elected member of the Legislature in 1854, '55, '57, '5S and '59, serving the last three years as Speaker. Then he was sent to the State Senate, and was President pro tempore in 1861 and '62. He was first appointed to the United States Senate to fill tLe vacancy accustomed by the death oi Solomon Foot and was successively re- elected by the Legislature. His term would have expired March 4, 1893. Senator Edmunds has for years ranked as one of the greatest constitutional law yers in America, and held the position of chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. He was also member of the Committee on Foreign Relations and several others of importance. His name has been several times promi- nently mentioned for the Presidency, and it is thought by many tha. the opportunity for reaching that exalted p'sition having passed by, il had much to do with causing his resignation. As statesman he will ever rank high in American history.

Lincoln Haters.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 The Democrats are so elated over the election of General John NJ. Palmer that they refuse to allow his name to be as- sociated with that of any other favorite son of Illinois except Douglas. They even spurn the name of Lincoln as un- worthy place beside that of Palmer on the roll of honor for this State.
 In the Democratic Judicial Conven- tion which met at Centralia last week, this was made clear by the discussion of series of resolutions regarding Palmer's election. The committee which drafted the resolutions was so unfortunate as to couple Palmer's name with two revered names in this State-Lincoln and Doug. las. The committee no doubt regarded this as a compliment to Palmer, but the convention did not view it in the same light. The Centralia Sentinel in it's re- port of the meeting, says that when the report was presented, the Hon. w. A. J. Sparks, United States Land Commis- sioner under Cleveland, "took the floor and made a rip-roaring speech against a Democratic convention applauding or experimenting the acts of Republican. de grew warm under the collar as he worked himself out into the aisle and ground out his words between his clenched teeth" Another bitter op- ponent to the resolution, was Monroe Hagy, of Salem, who ''in a loud voice declared that he was opposed to sully- ing the names of Douglas and Palmer with that of Abe Lincoln" Kagy of fered motion to strike out the name of Lincoln.
 The Hon. G. A. Koerner, of Belleville, who was once Republican, tried to quiet the disturbance, and sought to show these Bourbons that they could not help Palmer by attacking the name ol Lincoln, but it would not down. The resolution as drawn by the commit- tee was adopted by vote of sixty-six to eighteen, the Clinton and Marion county delegates voting solidly against it be- cause it contained the name of the Ma tion's great martyr President.
 Marion county is represented in the Legislature by Mir. Cockrell, the Farm CTS Mutual Benefit Association man who posed as an independent just long enough to make the election of an inde- pendent possible, and then deserted him to elect Palmer. Mir. Cockrell will no doubt be able to get an indorsement for his action at home.

THE resignation of Senator Edmunds calls attention to some of the oldest members of the Senate both in years and point of service. Senator Merrill, his colleague, IS IS years older than Mir. Edmunds, having been born in lSlO. Senator sherman is five years Edmunds' senior, having been ushered into fife in 1923. Both Morrill, and sherman en- tered Congress at the same time as members of the Thirty-fourth Con- gress elected in 1854, thirty-seven years ago. Sherman was first elected to the Senate in March, 1881, and with the exception of four years as Secretary of the Treasury under Hayes has been member of that body contin- uously since his frs. election, period of 30 years. His term expires in March, 1893. and if he so desires he will un- doubtedly be reelected by the people of Ohio. Morrill, did not reach the Senate until 1867, six years later than Sher- man. From March, S65, till elected to the Senate in 1867, Senator Merrill was out of public life, while that of Seaator sherman has been continuous, being the longest continuous service in the civil Government of any man in the Nations history.

It affords pleasure to the management of THE REPUBLICAN to be entitled to ac- knowledge steady and marked increase in the circulation. This, doubtless, is the best, as it is the most substantial, evidence that cou,d be given that it is gaining the approval and confidence of the people. The more so is this gratify- ing, as the new subscribers rank among the best and most substantial residents of Arizona; these invariably have mani tested their kindly feeling, not simply by becoming subscribers, but by their accompanying favorable and kindly ex- pressions of appreciation.
