STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.
ABSENT-MINDED.

great many funny stories are told of the numerous curious things that ab- sent-minded people do, but in all of these cases we do not recall oven enc in which the victims mind was perpetu- ally absent. But there appears to now be a genuine case of this kind on record in Phoenix.
 Yesterday morning we referred in these columns to the remarkable idio- syncracies which seemed to affect the editor of the Gazette, but we weresuftici- ently hopeial at that time 10 believe that it was only temporary and that the edi- tor would soon be restored to his proper senses.
 But yesteEday's' 's'issue of the G0zeLIe causes us Co abandon this hope, for, fl possible, his mind seems to be more ab- sent than ever.
 One of the peculia- features of the unfortunate editors malady IS the i'm agination on his part tbat somebody is jealous of him, that some one desires to rob him of his Sampson locks and the power he wields with King Kalakaua, President Cleveland and other princes and potentateS, and in the vacuum caused by the absence of bbe wandering mind the green-eyed goblin fits 10 and fro like a bat in a barrel until the editor IS driven te exclaim wildly and incoherently:
 The danger signal ls hoisted; the "states. men" are on the run. The nickel in-the-slot politician dG2't run the affairs of Arizona we are glad t9 say. The Gazette is amply able so attend 10 its own affair, and come 10 think, we don't need any "sAtesmen't" advice It will re- quire something more than public receD- tiOn" and brass bands to secure appointments to office in ArizOua The falling leaves of discontent te where sleeps the po- liucal schemes of Arlzona. Decay and dry rot will oark their political future. It looks as though the Undersh0tt boom had iz- zled. such irothy propositions usually die young.
 Then after exhausting himself in these mad rawlings he appears for a mo- ment to enjoy lucid interval, but only for an instant. Says the editor:
 Jealousy should always give away to the cOuutry's good.
 But the absent mind seems then to soar farther away than ever for the edi- tor lapses back hopelessly into his former state and writes the following unintelligent item:
 A correspondent watts to know which is the best time to sell horses. We'll we should think the best time is when people want to buy.
 The friends of the afflicted gentle man, and the writer is one of them, deeply sympathize with him in his mis- fortune and hope that Cleveland will send him to Patagonia or some other quiet place, where a four-years' resi- dence may restore him to his absent mind. From a scientific point of view, however, the case is an interesting one, and it will afford some of the new-fan- gled mesmeric-fsith-Ch Christian science

NOT A TRUE FRIEND.

The Gazette in it's recent issues clearly proves that it's friendship for the terri tory is not of the kind that means statehood and prosperity.
 It attacks every measure for the good of the people when that measure does not emanate from It's coterIe ot pros- pective and would-be pap suckers.

TIE DEMOCRATIC theory is that the destruction of the protective tariff would stop immigration by removing the inducement of better wages now offered to foreigners who come here. American workingmen will not, how ever, be satisfied with such a solution of the problem. It would be too mnch like cutting off ones nose to spite his face.

ELECTION ANOMALIES.

The Chicago Tribune observes that the vote of Nevada fell off from l9, ,G9l in 1876 to lO,695 in 1892, and adds:
 It is singular that the people shopld submit as patiently as tley do to such an absurd an- omaly as that Illinois, with eighty seven times the population of Nevada, should have only eight times as many presidential votes. The matter is one which congress can and should attend 10 by annexing the Territory of Utah, with 2OS,OOO people, to Ne1ads, with is 5000, thus making state with respectable popu- lation.
 The matter of annexation we presume would have to be submitted to the state itself; but Nevada should not object to it. It is not fair that Illinois with S7 times the population of Nevada should have but times as many votes in the electoral college.
 The absurd anomaly of which the Tribune complains IS even more striking when we come to consider that little Nevada with her l0,695 votes has an equal representation in the United States Senate with New York with it's ,5OO, ,OOO votes.
 There are some other inequalities of this kind in our electoral system which ought to be corrected, but are not likely to be under a Democratic and Solid South administration. A large percent age of the people of Mississippi and other southern states are disfranchised, but this is not permitted to make any difference in the congressional repre- sentation of these states. If we are to remedy matters with reference to the borough state of Nevada we should cast about and see what can be done in the same direction down south-where the emergency is even more urgent.

DENVER. July 1.-THE mass meeting

to-day. The building was crowded with
thousands of delegates from every
section Of the state, who had come To sec
what could be done towards crystaliiring

of silver. There appeared to be but one
feeling in all the gathering and that was
"free coinage or nothing. In his ad-
dress. calling the meeting to order, Presi-
dent Merrick said:

We will accept nothing less. Tho crime

far-rcaching that It does not involve cNag-
geration to predict that IL means another
phase of the old question of slavery over
again. II is the starnation OF business,
the paralysis of commerce"
At the conclusion of Thomas remarks
there was q call for Governor Waite. The
echo was taken up in n mighty shout from

Governor Waite concluded his remarks
by saying; "If the money power shall at
