The republican party has received new accession in the person of Colonel J. Hampton lIoge, the Nirginian who was appointed consul to Annoy. and on reaching San Francisco found his appointment revoked because he had tanked up on the way. It takes hard dose to convince q democrat of the error of his political ways, and Colonel Hoge appears to have had that kind of a dose. But THE OASIS would feel better satisfied with his conversion had he emulated consul to Annoy whom President Grant re- moved for the same reason, who turned prohibitionist. and devoted the rest of his life 10 delivering temperance lectures for d consideration. He was his own frlghtful example.

Among the tiresome things of this age are the half-baked philosophers and would be reformers, who fail to perceive that institutions are a mat ter of growth and environment which can be radically altered by legislation no more than an act of congress can make plum tree bear potatoes, but who are always ready with some econ- onic nostrum, application of which is guaranteed to cure all the ills of the body polite. One proposes industrial education, another the single tax and thethird the referendum, or, inception of legislation by the people as in Switzerland, while a fourth will offer something else. Now, for in- stance, of what use is industrial edu- cation t0 man who can ind no place to apply his knowledge? Hard times and suffering don't come because peo- pie don't know how to work, but be- cause there are not enough jobs to go around among the people who do.

Because President iIexOtto insisted upon unconditional surrender by the Brazilian insurgents, some we'll mean ing people are expressing a fear that the recent collapse of the rebellion is to be followed by scenes of reprisal and butchery l. would seem. how ever. that such a fear is unfouuded. Was not unconditional surrender the sole condition given the defeated confederates in our own war? Was that unconditional surrender followed by hutchery. 1t will be observed that in such cases the fear that there viii be butchery always emanates from England, that exemplary, christian nation, which made an example of the Sepoy mutineers in India, by tying scores and hundreds of the leaders to the mouths of cannon and blowing them into shreds.

CERTAINTY TT WILL.

Capital and immigration are botn
 suspicious of a territory That ls
 "why Arizona wants and must have
 statehood. Its present growth,
 though gratifying is nothing to what
 it will be after admission. And it
 lis not right to condemn the common
 wealth to remain iu a territorial con
 'dition until it can make a better
 showing, when that is just what mil
 ''itates against better showing. ''- THE OASIS.
 "All of which is very true, but will admission to statehood remove the "suspicions" -Coconino Sun.
 Certainly it will.
 With tue conditions appertaining to state all are familiar, for more than sixty millions of the sixty-fye millions of people in the country live surrounded by such conditions. They are satisfied with their own surround ing conditions, and they assume that in any other state conditions prevail that are equally satisfactory. Conse- quently they are willing to embrace the superior opportunities offered in the new states to settlers and invest ors.
 On the other hand there is a differ ence between state and territorial con iitions. What that difference or it's possible effect upon his individual for tunes the ordinary settler or investor new location, does not dearly comprehend As a natural he is distrustful of the ocaIity under territorial condition. with which he is unfamiliar, and pre- 'ers to locate where the more familiar of statehood is offered.
 The facts above set forth were forced lpon the attention of THE OASIS edi- or some years ago. In lSS7-S he was n the real estate business in Phenix: md he put in many months showing -astern visitors fine lands with good water rights, for sale cheap. In May, SSS. he was offered an editorial posi- ion on d daily newspaper in southern which he accepted. There le met some of the very men he had hown property in the Salt River Valley
 They had paid sl50 to s200 per acre or California lands. They invited he editor to inspect their purchases. When shown the lands he said: ''l ifered you land in the Salt River Val ey, just as good as this, or better. with better water right, for S30 an ere. That land will produce all this gill, or more, yet you have paid Sl5o n acre for this when you would moi ,ay $50 for the Arizona land. Very rue" was the invariable response, but California is state, while Arizona is only a territory
 With the foregoing the Coconino ,un certainly does not need pair ef toseet that statehood makes he same quality of land five times he value it is under territorial con- itiOn.
