The admission Of territories is not y

that the admission Of Arizona in the
light OF Der development and the recla
nation of her arid lands is O question
that comes n the purview of this con-
gress. The District syetem, under the
Wright law in California, shows that
they have found It necessary to
bond some idistricts to full extent
Of actual assessed valuation, and
in many places as high as $50
per cent Of the assessed valuation.
Would this congress call it right if tram
melted by national law theae districts
could only have bonded as high 40 per
cent. The tremendous amount OF arid
land in Arizona, and the mighty volume
of water that flows through the cafiops
in time OF food, az high az 800, 900 cubic
feet per second indicates what difficulty
individual effort would have against
such mighty forces. There is neces-

in California, and this cannot be done
because of Harrison's law restricting i'm
debtedness to per cent. OF the actual
valuation. In consequence of the char.

Guilty residents have had in overcoming
the opposing forces OF nature. they have
had little time to acquire classical lore,
but their indomitabe will, untiring
energy and characteristics consequent
to the primitive method OF being had
enabled them to overcome those mighty
obstacles, and today you will find the
citizens of Arizona intelligent, energetic
and az broad guaged people as can be
found in the civilized world.

The Government In Hawaii.

When Mr.. DoLPH was speaking In tho
Senate Of the Provisional Government OF
Hawaii. he was interrupted by an inquiry
as TO how many people had established
that Government. AS many as ever es-
tablished any Government on the islands"
he replied. and then continued his line OF
argument.
The supporters OF monarchy in Hawaii.

suffrage. are insisting that no recognition
could have rlghtfully hoen given by Mr..
STEVENS TO the Provisional Government.

that 1t needed to represent, because 1t

strength OF the islands.

A Better Prospect.

An intelligent correspondent In Washing
ton reports that 1t is quite probable
that a motion will soon be made In the
House OF Representatives TO turn Professor
WILSON'S tariff bill back TO the committee
with directions to report instead tariff for
revenue only.
This is n most cheering report. Nothing
else could happen that would be Of such
benefit to tho Democracy and the country.
When the question comes to DO consider
ed under ouch instructions. the scheme OF q
revenue tariff, which We have once or twice
presented to our readers, will DO In order.
It will bear examination We think:
/. Be It enacted that on every article i'm
ported into the United States from snJ foreign
country. there shall be levied an import duty
OF thirty. Eve per cent ad valorom.
III. There shall be no exception to this rate
OF duty, but It shall be levied and collected in
the case OF every article imported. saving only
the goods Of foreign Ministers accredited to
the United States
III. Whenever at the end OF any fiscal rear
the aggregate revenues derived from import
duties shall exceed By nifty millions OF dollars
the necessities OF the Government. when hon
estly and economically administered. the
President shall DO authorized to issue .
Proclamation reducing the rate Of import duty
on all articles thereafter imported from thirty
I've per cent to thirty per cent. I'D valorem.
". This act shall take effect on the nrst day
Of January. 1894.
The passage OF such tariff as this would
redeem the promises OF the Democracy, fill
the country with hope and satisfaction. and
revive business and industry from the de-
spair In which they are now sunk.

Joe Doe.

themselves by commenting adversely upon

Secretary of War. JOSEPH. go they aver.

iictions used TO express anonymity and

publicans, have stood for pretty much all
the correspondence on the Hawaiian ques-
tion so far. and 1t is n delicate compliment

exclude foreigners. unless that right has
been surrendered by treaty. As for our
own country the decision OF its highest
tribunal in the case OF CHAN Pro, rem
dered May 10 1889. was that the power
OF exclusion Of foreigners, being an In
cident OF sovereignty belonging to the
Government Of the United States, can
not be granted away or restrained on
behalf Of any one" The famous BcoTT
act OF 1888 Is the one portion Of our con-
nected aud progressive Chinese lcgisla-
ton which has been properly most con-
demned on account OF its operation against
Chinese who before its enactment had gone
from this country with certificates In their
pockets emitting them to return, and yet
had boon prevented from landing, at San
Francisco. and had been compelled to
return 10 China. Nevertheless. tho Btu
premo Court declared In case arising un-
der this law. that at must be conceded
that tho act u 1888 is In CONFIRMATION OF
express stipulatons OF the treaty OF 1868.
and Of the supplemental treaty OF 1880: but
it Is not on that account invalid. or to be re-
stricted In It's endorsements" Certainly
nothing could more strongly illustrate the
sovereign political power possessed bya
nation to exclude foreigners.
China and the Chinese residents OF this
country have now before them the facts
that the policy Of suspending the lmmigra-
ton Of Chinese laborers has been In opera
ton nearly dozen years; that consent to
any suspension absolutely short Of prohl-
bition was expressed by China In the treaty
OF 1880: that nothing but the persistent
and defiant smuggling OF Chlnamen
caused the enactment OF tho severer
laws OF 1884 and 1885; that the law
OF 1892 In continuing the exclusion policy
also furnishes protection against arrest;
thAk the Supreme Court of the United States
has affirmed the constitutionality Of that
law; that the act OF 1893 is one Of concession
to q body Of Cinnamon. numbering. as Is
estimated. about 5000, who. except for 1t,
would be liable to exclusion under the law
OF 1892; andlly. that the law OF 1898 was
passed by the overwhelming vote Of l7s to
in the House Of Representative. the Senate
concurring without any amendment.
With the enactment. therefore. Of the
present measure. providing for the ex-
penses OF registration. which may result In
tho beginning OF this work on tho Pacific
coast within the next ten days. we may
expect a general conformity to its require
ments. and also. so for as can now be seen,
the closing OF fundamental legislation on
this subject for the present century.
