IT is remarkable how loosely many newspapers observe current events. Half the exchanges coming to TIE OASIS have asserted that Utah became state on the l7th inst The facts are that on that date the president officially approved an act under proyi- sion of which Utah may become a state sometime in November or De- cembcr, 1895. The bill provides for election of a constitutional convention in November next. It will assemble in March next. The instrument it frames will be submitted to the peo- pie at an election in November, 1895, and if adopted the president will pro- claim the new state-proyided he IS satisfied the constitution assures a republican form Of government and meets other requirements of the en- abllng notably the perpetual pro hibition of polygamy. So Utah is not yet state, and will not be for at least sixteen months.

IN Yayapai AssemDlyman Film paid a fine of sl0O for ''sassing" a grand jury, and in Maricopa Editor Wofey paid S3OO for criticising judge. The courts ought to publish sche- dule of rates, showing just what it will cost to indulge in little leyity with any and all of them from just Ice of the peace up. Then the public will know just what each individual will have to pay for indulging in any personal opinions about courts or juries.

TIE army regulations provide that no unnecessary duty shall be done on Sunday. At Omaha private soldier named Cederquist refused target prac- tice on the Sabbath. He was court martialed for disobedience of orders by his superior officer, found guilty and sentenced to punishment. The Amer jean Sabbath Union will take up the matter in the interest of the soldier, and make it warm for the war depart ment.

ton and obviate the dangers which
have lurked in our midst so long,
only waiting for division among
the whites to rear their horrid
heads. That division is now more
than apparent. The reality is
upon as. The people through their
representatives i'll the Legislature,
and in Democratic conventions, have
time and again demanded that such a
convention be called. Those news
papers which claim to be Democratic,
and which antagonize this great
reform, are either blind leaders
of the blind or the servile tools of
the conspirators.
We warn the white men who love
South Carolina and would see con.
hnuation of good government and
the rule of IN intelligent white
majority to thrust aside aud pay no
heed to the arguments of those who
seek to blind them to their true
interests. After long years of strug-
gle the opportunity is presented to
them of, fixing this thing forever.
Alfquestions tossbe passed on by the
convention eau be discussed when
the election of delegates is to take
place. It is : SANDER and an insult
to say that the people have not the
patriotism and intelligence to elect
men from among themselves to frame
an organic law bester suited tosoar
wants than that imposed on us by Che
carpetbagger and alien. The wisest
and best of our citizensip can be
chosen to perform this delicate and
patriotic duty without regard to
faction once the convention is order
ed. The point which we would urge
with all the vigor al our command is
that the opportunity is now here. 1t
certainly is not likely to soon recnr.
If the people fail to seize it and the
evils of mongrelism, governmental
debauchery and politlca! demorailza-
ton shall decend upon the State
after the next election they will have
none to- blame but themselves.

otic white men 60 to the polls on the
