THE SEARCH FOR DONALD GORDON.
On the journey south, my spirits being
now mounting like mercury in the sun, |
could not resist the temptation to spend an
hour or two in Edinburgh in the delcctablr
diversion of making my old comrades cn
vioUs. The achievement was not difficult.
i few sis snilicant hints and the sight of my
letters ard drafts brought every man OF
them as near to bursting as the frog in the
fable Some cnvicd me the money, some
the adventures, others said it was the beau
tiful combination of both that took their
fancy, and all agreed had certainly ecn
born with the coveted silver spoon in my

there win still remain the hope of c presidential veto.
 The criticisms of the Eastern press have as rule been temperate and con fined Co the most salient points, and oily one, 80 far as we know, Che Balti- more American, has been unfair, or can be accused of traducing Arizona and her people,
 The Christian Advocate Methodist) of Jan. afd, discussing the proposition to admit the Territories of Arizona, New Mexco and Utah, says "The number of people, the resources, the character of the population and the prospects of these Territories afford reasons for going vory slowly in the work of turning them into States" * No interest is suffering while these Territories wait awhile for re- oognition as States; but many inter- ests may be endangered should they be lifted to that prerogative prema, turely."
 A recent editorial in the San Fran cisco Examiner, disapproving of the admission of Arizona as State, must have been very distastefal to the zeal ous statehood men, as the Examiner is the most influential and widely read Democratic paper on the Coast. Its sources of information, especially on matters pertaining to the Western States and Territories, is reliable, and therefore it's opinions carry weight. The Examiner declares that the ex- penses of the State will be about twice as much as those of the Territory. A pleasant prospect, truly, for the al ready overburdened taxpayers.

 The newspapers of Arizona advocat- ing statehood are quick to resent any Allusion by the outside press, to the lack of qualifications possessed by the Territory, seeming to forget that they Themselves, as well as all the State conventions held in Arizona, have been convicted of falsifying the rec ords. They have persistently exag- gerated the population and taxable wealth of the Territory, and misrepre- sented the condition of the mining and. five stock industries, which were form erl.y Che mainstay of Arizona, and have eunningly sought to conceal the fnan. sial embarrassment under which the Territory is laboring.
 The question of the admission of new States is of real importance to other States and sections of the Union, and the claims and qualifications of any Territory for admission is legiti- Ihate subject for discussion and criti- cism; and so far as we have observed Che comments of the press in other parts of She country upon the question of admission of Arizona have been, not only fair, but far more truthful than the assertions made by Arizona newspapers favoriRg statehood, which have been invariably misleading. These misstatements deceive no one having any knowledge of Arizona, of her depleted treasury and insufficient revenues (S35,0O short of meeting She annual expenses of government, of her deficiency of taxable wealth, of her sparse population, of the slow de- yelopment of her resources, and of the serious depression prevailing in the live stock and silver industries.
 Certainly, more unfayofable time for assuming the responsibility and in- creased expenses attending State sov. ereignty could not have been chosen by Arizona than the present, and Con. gress must be fully appIlsed of this, but political expediency has out. weighed more vital considerations, and by party division the bill for Arizona's admission has passed the House. Fortunately it's approval by the Senate is by no means assured, and should opposition. in the Senate fail,

The Hawaiian news Is as varied as ihe colors of chameleon. To-day it is flashed over the wires "all quiet in Honolulu," which the lightning as speedily contradicts by saying fight ing in that city has occurred in conse- quence of the provisional governments refusal to recognize ex-Queen 'Lil'' as the reignIng monarch. That there has been fighting on the Island is disered- tied by the Secretary of State of the United States, and the Administration also denies the rumor that the AIneri- can Minister had been given his pass port and had arrived in San Francisco bay on the steamer Corwin, from which no one is permitted to go ashore, or communicate with persons on land.

The Arizona Enterprise, January 4th Says: "FHE ARIZONA sIbvRR B111 faib- fishes strong editorial on the Towks- bury cfse, which will impress it's read ers Chat it comes out squarely in favor Of q man found guilty of murder by twelve jurors, and recommended to tie mercy os the court
 What the BEET said, and now TO- peats, was a reference to tho fallibility of jurors, that Jurors are but men, anu in all ages have shown full share of frailty." We tlien said, and still be- heye. thnt tho jury that rendered a compromise verdict in the Tewksbury Case had not tue evidence before them so warrant their conclusion. In mak- ing that statement We were convinced that the accused. from that cause, failed in receiving mir expression of the jury, and in that event, the statutes of Arizona expressly grant a new trial.
 Inc BELr also stated the further fact that Tewksbury never plead to the indictments fatal omission -conse- quently, there was no'issue for the jury, and therefore the verdict of the jury was anullity. I6 is a recognized principle of law that until an indicted person has pleaded, he is not in jeopardy, though jury has been sworn to try him, or even when the forms of a trial are ob- served and verdict of guilty rendered and the conclusion as set forth in the editorial of the BELT has been con drp,ed (Japuary 6th) by Judge Sloan in granting new trial in tho Tewks- bury case,
 The Enterprise further says; "Why the BELT should deem it necessary to defend Tewksbury fo the extent of dis- torting the facts for tbe purpose of assailing the jurors in the case, it alone can explain. The BELT rises to ex- plain. Il nevar distorted" the faets; t makes il a rule to present things as they are and not as we would have them. It is essentially a newspaper, and the first duty of a newspaper is to publish the truth. Following this course in tho TewksbGry case. the BELT publishedcouclusions drawn from the plain unyarnished facts The BELr 5s not an advocate of felons, nor pub hshed in the interest of criminal classes. It advocates law and order It is a sorshipper at the shrine of justice. Its motto is equality to all men before the law. Can the Enterprise say as much
 In order to see whether tue Enter prise lives dp to the high aims and endeayors which it has prescribed for the press, we quote the closing sentence of their editorial "The press, above all other institutions, should not, If il wishes to gain the respect of the peo- pie, plead the cause of 8 felon charged with Ehe gravest crime in the calendar
 ." It has escaped our recollection as to it's comments up on certain public crimes. We there. fore ask, did the Enterprise in its zea for justice reprobate the attempted as sassiuation of John Rhodes in oper court in Phoenix, August 9th, 1898 and subsequently in the saue city, th' assembling of mob for the ayoweC purpose of Iynching Tewksbury an( who were only deterred from the com mission of their fell purpose by th, Knowledge that the sheriff was fuAy prepared to resist it.

The Liberal Arts building, on the Chicago Worlds Fair grounds, ''the largest building in the world" was burned on the sth inst. Other valua- ble buildings on the fair grounds were also consumed. The fire is supposed Co be the work of two eiected tramps who left in the direction of the Casino building. The loss in the Manufac- turers building alone is rumored to be $10, GOO, 900, but that is contradicted by President Higinbothsm, who tele- phoned the general manager of the Associated Press, saying, 'the total loss to the exhibits will not exceed Si00, GOO" He also said the contents of the liberal Arts building, all told, did not exceed in value $l00, 000.
