A. C. R., in our contemporary thii
 morning, says that there are two
 classes of citizens opposing state
 hood; one is a class of old-timer.
 who, having passed the best years oi
 their life in the territory, know noth.
 ing of the benefits of a state govern
 ment, and being naturally conserva.
 tive. listen to the cries of the penny
 a-liner that taxes will be increased.
 the Mormons will control the state,
 and such other campaign fakes, un. til they think that, should Arizona
 be admitted, all the accumulations of years would be swept away, and, destitute and pennyless, they will have to begin again the struggle for competence. Another class is the politician who has comfortably sucked the federal teat in some capacity or other since he cursed Arizona with his presence, and fears the change would cut of his sup plies and compel him to devote his time and talents to some industry in which he must take his chances, where the victory is a survival of the fittest." For the benefit of this dark lantern scribbler. who seems ashamed of his identity. we will state that he can find, if he tries, among those who do not favor the constitution many of the best citizens of the territory. "Old timers" who have lived here for years and helped to blaze the way of civilization in the territory. Young timers" who have put forth ts~s- se-t e.ss seies ill dSvSfopfng rfic resources of the country and whose efforts have been crowned with sue cess. Men who have never held a federal office in their life or sucked the federal teat," as A. c. R. puts it, and who have no fear of taking chances of success along with a non- descript scribbler for a newspaper. or an ambitious democratic polite ian or any one else. The fact is that opponents of statehood will com | pare favorably with its advocates | either in intelligence, enterprise, | amount of taxable property or in my way one may want to make the comparison.

paying nearly three times the

paying nearly three times the amount of taxes for the support of her territorial government that the citizens of Washington Territory were when admitted. And even with this enormous difference, Ari- zona is adding to her debt annually while Washington was paying cash for every thing and piiing up . surplas in her treasury vaults. Un- der the circumstances, as stated. she could well afford to pay the differ ence between the territorial and state government, but with the above showing of our finances, can the tax payers of Arizona afford itf The JouRsAL-MNER is as heartily in favor of statehood as any one, but looks upon the question from a practical financial standpoint, of "can we afford it." Out of debt or with a small debt and low rate of taxation we would shout for state hood too. But with a debt of l2 per cent of our taxable wealth and tax rate equal to good rate of in- terest the proposition is entirely diff ferent. Is it good business propo- sitioni Advocates ofthe new consii- tuition do not deny that statehood under it will increase expenses, but they try to allay the fears of tax payers by saying, "oh you won't feel it. The difference will be so slight that it will not be noticed" That is another "oily" argument. The difference between theory and pr.c tice is very frequently, ::very great. After the experiment is tried and has proven unsuccessful, and unsat- isfactory it will be too late to rectify the mistake.

The last territorial -legislature

The last territorial legislature
 passed law providing for a railroad
 commission. The commission met
 recently in Phenix and the result of
 It's actions is thus commented on bv
 the Tucson Star: "The Star. has
 many times in the past maintained
 that when our legislature attempted to tinker with railroad legislat;on the people would be sure to oct tba worst of it. We have an illusfrat;on at hand; the last legislature created . board of railroad commiss;onars and law governing them; as a re' suit thereof, Tucson merchants ara to be denied the advantage of a iobo bers' tariff, and the people who con ssume the goods will have to pav tba | increased rate of freight. And who | IS to b!amei Not the railroad. hut those who created the law; for inc board of commissioners has cited fbe company to appear before it to an- ,wer for the violation of the law and inc company, to settle the matter ;n ne shortest way, has discontinued he jobbers' tariff. It is simply con orming to the law"

Ex-Governor Zulick visited Sar
 Francisco recently and according to
 the usual custom of this ssawed-off statesman he succeeded in havine
 himself interviewed, from which it
 IS evident that he has but little more
 regard for the truth than he had
 when governor of the territory. He
 starts out by saying that the terri

 population of between 10000 and 5000, more than Idaho when ad- mitted," he says-a dual falsehood In one assertion. The census of 1850 gave the population of Arizona at little less than 6O,OOO and it has not increased 5000 since. Idaho when admitted had S4,3S5, or over 4,OOO more than the highest number claimed by Zulick. Doffing his statesmanshipgarb and donning that of Cincinnatus the stubby little fellow then says: "Three or four years ago, at the close of my term of omce, went over into the Salt River valley and located a desert claim of $40 acres. It cost me SIPS an acre 'o-day it is worth s10O an acre, and | n less than five years it will be worth SoOO an acre." An article is said to 'e worth what it will bring and with 'ut consulting the tax roll of Mari 'opa county we venture the asser- ion that there is very vast differ nee between the valuation of the x-governor's highland farm on the ax roll and the interview" value.

Now, take look at Arizona's
 condition, as compared with Wash
 ington when the latter State was ad-
 mitted. The fact of this State hay
 ing contracted the debt spoken of
 under the condition she was in, i,
 not in itself of an alarming nature,
 and could Arizona be admitted mn
 der similar conditions, it would not
 of necessity be any occasion for
 alarm to her citizens. But the con- ditions here are alarmingly differ ent at present. Instead of hay ing a cash surplus in the treas ury, our debt, territorial, county and municipal, amounts to | twelve per cent of the amount of our | taxable property according to the | report of Governor Murphy, while the average rate of taxation through. 1 out the territory for all purposes. to the same authority is S.S on the hundred dollars. Here in Prescott it is four per cent. With our territory running behind each year in her expenses, we are paying q cents on the dollar for territorial , axes alone, the treasury report rom which the statement 1, fhe ef.ta oe vr, ngton was obtained. says: i The rate of territorial tax levy was l educed in 1882 to two and one-half ' hills on the dollar for 25. cents on c he hundred dollars) and continued g that rate until the present year, |, sO."

Water an Sahara.

A large body Of water has been discov-
cred at III Golea, in the Sahara Desert,
about 100 feet below the surface. 1t
throws up nearly 40 gallons minute at
present, and il is expected that the vol
ume win be much greater when more
perfect access 10 the water is attained.
The discovery is regarded of high inn
portance, as this ia the first time that
water has been found i'm the Sahara at
such slight depth underground.
The Sahara, the largest desert in the
world is about 5000 miles IN length, 10
average breadth about 900 miles. and a
total area Of about 2 ZOO 600 square miles.
Parts OF il could be made very produc-
tive if liberal supply of water for irri-
eating purposes were secured by means
Of artesian wells.

Manufactured SILK.

1t is stated that DIR. Lehner, OF Augs-
burg, Germany, has solved the problem
Of manufacturing artificial silk. The
fabric is said to be superior in luster 10
natural silk, and can not be distinguished
from it; and that limited company is to
be constituted to work the invention. If
this is true, and is found to be thoroughly
practicable after fair trial, it will reyo-
lutiomze the whole industry of produce
ing and manufacturing raw silk.
