HARRISON AND MCKINLEY.

The republicans of Indiana have in vited Governor Mckinley to come over the Ono line and to open their state campaign. He has consented, upon con- dition that the state committee of lndi- ana will use its best endeavors to induce General Harrison to accept the invita- tion of the Ohio committee, and to pass from Hoosierdom to Buckeyedom, and there to inaugurate the campaign of protection and republioanism against democracy, free-tradeism, and sugar trustism. It is to be hoped that General Harrison will not stand upon the cere- monies or traditions of the presidency, but rather will again assume the rank of citizen leader. There is no good cause why passage from the dignity of the presidential chair shall doom its quondam occupant to be thenceforth mute and lnglorious. If general Harris on will make such speeches in 1894 as he made in 1888 he will contribute large ly to such republican victory in 1894 as wss won in 1888.
 Of the services that Governor Nc Kinley can render in Indiana 1t is need less to speak at any length. No man living can marshal fact. figure, and argument in more effective array than he, nor is any man more amply endow- ed with that victory-presaging quality called magnetism that he. Indiana has done we'll ID calling him to inspire her republican troops with confidence. It wall be strange if other states do not urgently solicit his aid.
 It is pleasant sight that Indiana and Ohio present. Each has its favorite son m reserve for the potentIalities Of the next presidential campaign, yet each in honor exalts the other. Ohio asks Harrison to lend the fire of hls epigram- matic rhetoric to its republican troops; Indiana calls upon Mckinley to bring his massive artillery of argument into the service of that state. Between the two honored chiefs there is rivalry as to which can do the better service toward restoration of that national prosperity that is the unfailing con- comitant of policy of protection, ad- ministered in accordance with repub- lican policy.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE great tunnel and canal which are
 to furnish drainage to the valley of
 Mexico is nearing completion. It is one of the most important sanitary measures ever undertaken anywhere. It IS noth- ing less than the sewering of @ country for which nature provided no outflow. The valley of Mexico, situated at an altl- tude of 1000 feet above the sea, Is sur rounded on all sides by mountains. with out a pass through which the water can flow out. The canal, thirty-four miles in length, and the tunnel, six miles long, will open a passage for the outflow, and it is believed that this, one of the most beautiful end fertile valleys in the world will be rendered nealthful and free from fever. The canal will be opened this year. It vas begun 300 years ago. The cost will be SlO,OCO,OOO and 100000 hu- man lives.

the matter at once. and tend to relieve the government of the odium of juggling with the property rights of Its citizens. Some further leg station would seem to be necessary to put at rest the perfect" grants which were accepted from the two years limitation of the statute, and these two objects could readily be accomplished in the same act.
 If the supreme court refuses to enter tain the appeals on the ground that the land court is not a tribunal upon which the judicial power under the constitu- tion can be conferred, though the de- crees of the land court might be final, that would not necessarily end the matter. The claimants with adverse decisions would be in position really not mucy worse than before the act of 1891 was passed-they would not yet have had their "d8y in court" It is within the peculiar province of the iu- dicial branch of this government to de- termine property rights; until the ju- dietary has had a chance to so deter mine, the claimants may still thunder at the doors of congress for the ap- pointment of a constitutional tribunal to adjudicate their title.

THE Gazette evidently does not take stock in Governor Hughes professed labors in behalf of statehood, but the governor says he worked for 1t, and by force of circumstances should know what he is talking about. He has been to Washington and can speak by the book. The constitution is confessedly bad, and should have been rejected at the time of it's adoption. In this there is no sen timent. When the constitution was be- fore the people its defects were as fiaring then as now, and public attention was directed to them with force and concis- ion, but the overwhelming desire for statehood led to its acceptance. That desire has increased, rather than dimin- ished, and Arizonans look with disfavor at any attempt to ride out the shortcom- ings of a constitution at time when public expectancy for statehood has been famed to fever heat. The time to have fought the constitution was when it was before the people and pot now. At that time the Star defended its short comings and urged its acceptance by the voters of the country. To be consistent it can do no less today than to forget its weakness and press its acceptance upon the senate, in whose hands it now IS. Of course, until we are convinced otherwise, We must perforce believe that the gover- nor is honest in his declarations for statehood, but unless be forbears on the weakness of the constitution, he will confirm the public in different way of thinking.

THE Valley Bulletin is full of enthu- sissm for Judge Edwards for democratic candidate for congress-vice Mark Smith shelved by popular consent. If the figuring of the Bulletin is correct it is useless for the people of Arizona to go to the expense of an election, and the money mIght be used to buy silver platter upon which the judge could be handed his commission.
 He would says the Bulletin, easily be elected by thousand majority, or more. Edwards could carry Graham county by not less than 300 majority, Maricopa county would give him at least 300 and Gila county would give him a warm support and majority of 150 to 200. He would make stand of in Cochise, PInal, Yuma ana Apache and the rest of the couGties cannot beat him if he did not carry them. We believe Pima county would give him a small mai 1iity.
 From our knowledge of Judge Edwards we are inclined to believe that he will wait for another county to be heard from before packing up for a protracted stay in Washington. He is too old 8nd wise bird to be caught with chaff however adroitly it may be

THE PEOPLES SAVINGS DE-
 ICREASE.

The .eurnal of Commerce and Com mercial Bulletin states that "eight say ings banks in this city (New York; re- ceived from depositors for the year end ing June 30, SIS, 3,162,353, and paid to depositors SIG, ,539, ,55S, an excess of s. 377. 7.205. The excess of withdrawals over deposits in five Brooklyn banks was not quite p per cent; in eight New York banks 1t was fraction over D per cent"
 This statement clearly shows that the savings of the people are very seriously diminishing in New York state, for what is true of New York City and Brooklyn is DO doubt equally true of other towns throughout the state. With 9 per cent. more money withdrawn from the banks than was deposited during the year end ing June 30, 1894, we have clear evidence of the unfortunate condition of the peo- pie, who, pending the threat Of Free Trade, have been compelled to use their savings in order to secure food.
 To other construction can be put upon this fact, because the investment markets all show serious declines, and that the people, where possible, are holding on to their money rather than placing it out at interest. During such year as we have just passed through under a democratic administration, it is to everybody's in. terest to keep their savings, because the tariff bill now passed by congress will simply be the first step toward abso lute free-trade, it being openly scknowl edged by the free-traders that they

IN discussing the county apportion- ment few days since we intimated that Pima county had been discriminat- ed against We said this on the impulse of the moment and whithout making due inquiry the subject demanded.

G, Stew art, at the last general election, and as Pima county was not so eyerlastlngly enthusiastic over "Mickey" she cast but 63S vote in his behalf which number clearly entities us to but thirteen delegates.

THE impression generally prevails that the democratic leaders are opposed to statehood. We do not say that all are of this way of thinking, but we do Say that :he most influential members of the party are. Their public expressions, however, disguised all trend in that direc- tion. This statement largely affects the territorial administration and even the judiciary are not excluded. But all the same We hope for statehood. We do not care whether it be under the old constl- tuition or under an enabling act, so long as Arizona is admitted. If admitted un- der the old constitution it Can be amend ed where necessary, and can be done after our admission, as we'll as before it, and at no greater expense. This Is the opinion of a leading senator, whe says: "Tt would be better for Arizona if Rd mItted under the constitution presented to congress, as congress would probably not appropriate the expenses for more than one convention" As the expenses of the next convention wonld have to be borne by Arizona anyway, we had better. or at least as well, bear it as state

Ezeta not Safe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. H.-It be- came known today that warrants for the arrest of Ezeta and three other refugees from San Salvador have been here since Tuesday but owing to dissen- sions among local representatives of the government of San Salvador, the docu- ments have not been served. The gun boat Bennington continues to cruise be- yond the three mile limit. The trouble here is due to the fact that the consul ship is held by man who owes his appointment to President Ezeta and who is still loyal to the deposed presi- dent though the new government has recognized him as it's official representa- tive. Carlos F. Yrigoyen is local consul
 More than three weeks ago he left San Francisco suddenly and went to New York and it is sad now that his purpose was to meet ex-President Ezeta when be should arrive there. Soon afterwards vice. Consul Kelly departed

 ENGLAND IS a shrewd dealer in money. China is in the market for loan and the greatest money center in the world springs nimbly to her relief with the enormous sum of seventy-five million dollars. China takes the loan at its face value on 8 gold basis, but the money lenders of London shrewdly cane ln for the pound of flesh by stipul- ating that two thirds of the loan-that Is fifty million dollars-shall be pad in China in silver As silver is now sui fering from the evils of aD enormous discount the bond holders will pocket the difference.
