Yrs singular how craftsmanship con trols the every action of many men. For instance, Mir. Xulick introduced a bill Friday providing that the Legislature should henceforth meet upon the second Monday in February. He explained" the measure as designed simply to avoid the spring freshets and consequent blockades to the railroads in Arizona, about as thin an assertion as was ever evolved in that statesman's vulcanized cerebrum. And he said it with the most innocent air of candor imaginable. The reason for the change might as well be explained, however. It will upset no ones apple cast. The Democrats are encouraged by the result of the off year elections in the belief that the next President will be of their politics. Now, if that happy oonsummation came to pass and the Legislature expired by limitation about ten days after the in- auguration, verily as the matter now stands there would be little time ad interim for the appointment oi GoN- ernor for Arizona, especially if compli- cated by the customary Bourbon row. For this reason, therefore, there is rail roaded through both houses bill that would allow thirty more days to the Democratic Messiah, and, if hopes be not in vain, the busting of every Repub- lican ofiice-holder within the Territory. Taking good look at the situation, it would appear as though numerous chickens were being counted before the eggs were laid. But, ""The best laid schemes O mice and men gang aft a-gley." The next gentleman to occupy the presidential chair will be James G.. Blaine, one of Maine's most distin- guished citizens, whose name is not un- familiar in the West.

Noted in Arizona by an Old Resident of

 From the Tucson Star
 A Star representative, in conversation with Mir. Samuel Hughes yesterday, learned that the recent floods which have swept down the Gila are not the first that have visited Arizona by any means. MT. Hughes has been in Ari- zona for more than thirty years. He states that in 1888 tremendous flood swept down the Gila and covered nearly the entire syite of the present Yuma. At Gila City, eighteen miles east of Yuma and for miles below and above the river covered the entire valley, and forest of cottonwood trees, which was one of the attractions of the valley, was swept away-root and branch.
 The Santa Cruz and other rivers which empty into the Gila were all run- ming high, and 80 great was the snow and rainfall during that season and the two years following, that the Santa Cruz flowed surface stream from its source to the Gila during '6S, '68 and 70, some thing unheard of since, as the stream is subterranean more than three-fourths of the length of the valley through which it flows.
 Mir. Hughes says that the present flood in the Gila is largely due to the fact that the snowfall in the mountains of the upper tributaries of the Gila was quite heavy this season and the coming on of the warm rains caused 1t to melt suddenly, redoubling many times the rainfall. He thinks the rainfall during the present year will be unusually good.

THE REPUBLICAN will earnestly watch city, county and territorial affairs with the utmost ieal- ousy in behalf of the people.
 By following the course laid out, with the introduction of new and desirable local features that must cause THE RE PUBLICAN to be more interesting than it ever has been, it is hoped to make it in- dispensible to all who want the news of the day. It will be welcomed 70 every counting-room, and by every reader, as an instructive, pleasant visitor; and Valued Friend and Advisor

TIE Denver Republican says: "The Hood in ArizOna, which destroyed large amount of property, is doubtless looked upon as a great disaster by the people of Phnnix and that vicinity. It ought to call their attention to the fact that by building storage reservoirs floods of that sort could be avoided and at the same time large area of land which is now barren could be reclaimed and made fertile. There is probably no part of the arid region in which the storage reservoir system could be adopted with more profit and greater success than in Arizona. There are two rainy seasons in that Territory. One comes in the summer and the other in the winter Although the total amount of the annnal rainfall Is small, the precipita- tions during these two rainy seasons is sometimes very great. But large pro- portion of the water escapes in floods and does the country very little good A great deal of this storm water could be impounded and kept in reservoirs until there would be occasion to use 1t in irrigation. Some day millions of acres of now barren land in Arizona will be reclaimed in this way"

THOSE who would cripple the Terr,. tory by abolishing every office within the gift of the Governor, find in the veto of the Attorney General salary measure new field of action. Conse- quently President Hughes, in the Coun- cil, and Speaker Clark, in the House, simultaneously come to the front with bills to abolish the office in toto, leaving Arizona without an advisory officer and at the mercy of the legal profession in defending and prosecuting the causes of the Territory before the Supreme Court. Summing up the situation in regard to the attempt to abolish this office, an un- prejudiced observer is forced to the con clusion that those in favor of the meas ure are either ignorant or are actuated by personal feeling or partisan bias. The matter has already been exhaust iyely discussed in these columns and further comment is perhaps not called for, yet 1t must be said that we do not see how any man of intelligence, after @~~"5 N'Si 'hO otakutS heaaSu AtlOf- ney-GeneraP' can consider the office a sinecure. It is an office by means of which thousands of dollars are saved to the Territory, a legal champion being through 1t secured for a retainer dispro- portionately small as compared with the number and importance of the causes tried. The work of the Attorney-Gen- eral is arduous, important, indispensa- ble. If it be not placed into the hands of q regularly constituted and responsible official, 1t must be done by specially employed lawyers. If experience of the past be light to the future, such a course would cost the Territory about $2o,0o0 year.

IT'S funny, oh, so funny, to read the warm and grateful articles printed ir the Tucson Star, of March 1, pouring commendation by the bucketful upon the Council for passing the Woman's Rights bill. No commendatory adjectives were too strong for use. But the Star hadn't learned that the Council had promptly reconsidered the bill and laid it away in the legislative graveyard.

WITH the filling of the only vacancy in the next House of Representatives that which existed in the Second Rhode Island District-the House seems to be divided thus; Democrats, 237; Repub. licans, S7; Farmers Alliance, 8. The Democrats will have majority of 142 over all, and lead of 150 over the Re- publicans.
