At the Opera House

Last night at Reid's opera house the Psyton Stock company offered for thoir second nights bill Uncle Joshua Whitcomb" a New England comedy, full of local coloring, and constructed for the purpose of provoking laughter, and as performed 1t admirably filled it's mission.
 The house was filled, and the audi ence was an extremely apprecistive one. Every point made by the performers was picked up and approved either by hearty laughter or enthusiastic ap- plause.
 The story, or what there is of one is built around "Uncle Josh" a unique character as presented by Mir. Payton whose touches of pethos occasionally revealed during the general merriment are only indicat ons of the true manli- uess of his character almost hidden by his eccentric exterio-. Mr. Paytons humor is simple, natural and spOntsne- us and his performance was even and finished.
 Miss Keene as 'fTot'' gave an excel lent interpretation of the part. and con- tributed largely to the success of the piece. Her song in the second act was extremely we'll received. The support ing company had not a great deal to do except to act en masse as foll to "Uncle Josh" but that was done cleverlv. Tonight the company offers Sidney Goundeys three act comedy, regular fix, and series of the new famous living pictures, and there is every indi- cation of the house being 1ammed to the door.

REPRESENTATIVE HIT, of III, the rank. ing republican member. of the house
 committee on foreign affairs, who is one
 of the best posted men in congress on
 international affeirs which relate to the United States, is after Secretary Gres- ham with a sharp stick, as the saying is. MT. Hit wants to know all about Secretary Gresham's offer of S425, ,00C as compensation for Canadian sealers seized in Behring sea, and has offered a resolution calling for the correspond ence which led to that extraordinary offer. In vIew of the fact, which he points out, that ten of the eighteen vessels seized were owned by Americans and flying the British flag for purposes of registration, and that the entire claim submitted to the arbitration tribunal on behalf of the Canadian sealers was only s439,OOO, of which it was admitted that S357, 7,000 represented pro- spective profits on catches expected to have been made if the vessels had not been seized, MT. Hit thinks Secretary Greshsm's offer entirely too large and proposes to oppose appropriating the money to make it good, unless the cor res spondece shall furnish some justific- ation now unknown to him.

THE Silver Belt vigorously resents the statement made in reference to the dissolution of Gila county and says:
 No county should be dissolved with out urgent necessity thereof, and then only upon the application of the peo- pie of the county in question.
 GIla county does not desire to relin- quish her franchise. Neither Yavsphi, Graham or Pinal we presume, care to have any part of it added to their domain. No one interested in the pros perity of any of these counties should care to effect the proposed segregation. What object is there in the change? The proposition is something new to the people of Gila county, which the Sulphur Valley News characterizes as an unfortunate county" and how un- fortunate-pecuniary or otherwise?
 The gratuitous, sympathetic refer ence made by our esteemed contempo- rary, should have been reserved for other counties more deeply in the financial mire, particularly, one of which, according to the governors re- port of ,93, had a debt of s44SO0Q, bearing 2 and 8 per cent. interest. It is also of interest to note that G1la county has an indebtedness less thBn any other county in the territory in proportion to her taxable property.

ALL the talk of the speedy throwi

ALL the talk of the speedy throwing open of the Fort Bowie reservation amounts to practically nothing. Ex, ecutive orders creating reservations are common enough, but scarcer than an gels visits to Phoenix when it comes to reopening them to public occupation and settlement. There are reservations in southern Arizona that have been abandoned for more than twenty-five years that are still held by the govern ment, and although occupied by many settlers who have made homes thereon, no title can be acquired. This may be due to the weakness and personal inef- ficiency of our congressional represen- tation. and probably it is. With Mur- phy in Washington we have hopes for a change in that direction.

NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.

It is hoped that Senator Faulkner, who is chairman of the senate commit tee on territories, will do his utmost to secure the passage of the bills admitting New Mexico and ArIzona. Both these measures have passed the house, and they await now the action of the senate. It is understood that the president would sign them both if presented to him.
 The democrats may be said to be committed to the passage of these bills by the action of their party in the house, and republican senators would, we are sure, offer no opposition. Both territories are prepared for statehood, and 1t is unjust that they have been kept out of the union so long.
 The suggestion that there should be provision in the New Mexico constitu- tion against the use of the Mexican language in public schools is unwise. In the first place, that is matter which should be left to the people Of New Mexico to decide for themselves. There is nothing in the constitution of the United States or the principles upon which the union was formed requiring English to be taught or spoken. There is nothing escred in the English langu- age; and it is not the only tongue in which the principles of liberty may be taught It is true that it would be we'll if in sll parts of the union the English language were dominant, for 1t is the one commonly employed by ninety per cent. of the population. But the people of New Mexico would suffer more than the other inhavitsnts of the United States if thelr language were foreign to the one spoken by majority of the people.
 The foregoing phase of the subject loses its importance, however, from the fact that English is rapidly driving out the Spanish. Doubtless Spanish always will be spoken in New Mexico, or at least for several generations, but it will be only little while until the Mexican inhabitants will find it necessary to learn English in order to transact busi- ness. Unquestlonably English ought to be taught in the public schools of the territory, but the common sense of the people will prompt them to insist upon that. The dominion of the Spanish will endure but little while longer.
 The erection of state governments in New Mexico and Arizona would stimu- late the the growth of those territories for it would cause an influx of both capital and immigration. The natural resources of each territory are great, and 8 large population could be man. tsined. Justice to the people now living there, as we'll as regard for the welfare of the whole country, should prompt congress to pass both the enabling acts.-Denver Republican.

THE streets of Tucson, with all their slush and mud, are not 8 bit worse of today than they were two hundred and fifty years SEQ, and tbe complaint against them is as ancient as the town and just about as effective as 1t was in the days when the Apaches came on a frolic to cut throsts and lost their moocasins in the mud. A few days of dry weather and the puddle will dis appear in puIverized dust on the gentle zephyrs of the southwest, and then in- stead of mud on their boots our citizens will be given the usual opportunities of slowing it away in their lungs.

DARBY, district sttorney-elect of San Diego county, who recently committed suicide by hanging, was elected as populist. Darby had, before the late campaign, been a member of the un- washed democracy, and great surprise was manifested when his announce ment appeared that he had abandoned the faith. Since his death it has been generally conceded that the man was crazy at the time he forsook his party and later recovering his senses. and re slizing what he had done, deliberately took his own life as the surest means of hiding his modification and chagrlr at having been elected as populist This may be rather hard conclusion to draw on the ''pops," but as Darby's sue cessor will be 8 republican, there IS compensation sufficient to justify the mans rash act.

A CORRESPONDENT wants to know what "free silver" means, and why il is used as kind of term of opprobrium is thus answered by the Boston Travel. Ter. It means that any citizen who has either gold bullion or silver bullion, may, whenever he wishes, take either to the mint and have it converted into coin, paying the legally fixed seigpior- age, or charge, for having it done. The rare or proportionate relation, between the two metals is another matter. The theory is that nobody will ask for coin- age unless it is needed for business, and those who insist on the old rate of 16 to l maintain that the chief cause of the depression in the price of silver is that demonetizing it destroyed the mint demand, leaving only the commodity demand for use in the arts, and that If the mint demand were restored the price would at once rise to near the old figure. As for the opprobrium, that is all partisan. There ought not to be anything of the kind. It is a question of policy wholly.

THE annual report of Governor Hughes is at hand. It is one of the best reports ever issued from the ex- ecutive mansion and will, we think, dc much good for the territory. It is noi only comprehensive in its details but its methods of dealing with important issues is fair and on the whole as rell able as patient research can make them. All through the report the territory ap- pears to advantage and her resources are described in manner which will, we think. attract the attention of out side moneyed men.

IT is barely possible that Uncle Sam is tired of being prodded in the ribs by every little European sprig, that imagines he has grievance, and pro- poses to do little prodding as return favor. The weakneness of the democra- tic administration is largely chargable with the shutting out of American pro- ducts, by the various countries in Europe, and unless something is done by way of retaliation and other countries brought to a realization of the situation our export trade, so far as Europe is concerned, will practically cease.
