The Atlanta Constitution says;
"Instead Of saying that wheat has
fallen so much, or that cotton has
declined so much, it would be more
reasonable to say gold has gone up.
This is what the shrinkage of val
ues means. The falling prices of
our staples and of labor and labor
products, indicate corresponding
rise in the value of the gold dollar.
AS matter of fact, gold is now at
a premium, but this premium is
expressed in the prices Of products.

The ruling of Archbishop Satolli
on the status of liquor dealers as
members of Roman Catholic socie-
ties is causing no little stir in New
York and other large cities. Those
engaged in the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants feel the force of
the ruling laid down by the Pope's
ablegate, and since it is too plain
to be misunderstood and too au-
thoritative to be disregarded, there
is no little concern manifested as
to what the outcome is likely to be.
The "Wine and Spirit Gazette" I"

interest in the United States, while
admitting the unequiSo,al nature
of the judgment, makes the pre-
diction that it either cannot or will

Arizona's AdmissiOn.

. The Globe-D ,mocrat of st. Louis
gives the Arizona Admission propo-
sition some hard knocks and thinks
that the territory will not be ad-
mitted with its present constitu-
ton. A late Washington dispatch
in that paper says: "Arizona state
hood has encountered serious OBJ
struction. The subcommittee to
which the senate committee sent
the bill to admit Arizona decided
unfavorably. Before it could re-
port Senator Hill moved to dis
charge the subcommittee from
further consideration of the Ari-
zona bill. This carried, and the
proposition is now before the com
mittce without action and Will
probably remain there until next
session.
"It seems that the chief pro-
moters of Arizona statehood have
bungled things badly. Instead of
getting up a bill to enable the ter
ritory to frame constitution and
come in under it, the Arizona peo-
pie asked for direct admission
under constitution that was
framel by a kind of volunteer con
stitutional convention some time
ago. The people of Arizona did
not look upon the constitution
making as a serious matter while it
was under way, and the result was
/. draft with many loose features in
it. The proposed constitution
lacks the usual provisions against
gambling and lotteries. 1t is
framed in such a way as to afford
basis for interminable litigation
about water rights. In brief, it is
not at all the kind of constitution
that Arizona as state ought to
have, yet the bill which the senate
committee on territories has hung
up provides for admission under
this constitution.
The explanation is that some of
the Arizona politicians were In too
much haste to rush into the Union
and to divide two United States
senatorships. They have spoiled
their own game"

A contemporary seems tofancy
that a Congressional enactment
against lobbying would shut out
presidents of great corporations
and prevent their haunting the
corridors of the Capitol. It is
mistaken, however. If such reg
ulation is ever made it will be
oftener invoked to shut out people
Objectionable to the corporations
than the representatives of the
corporations. Indeed, the latter
as rule, prefer to have Congress
men come and see them at their
hotels rather than to visit them
themselves at the Capitol. It is
only in rare cases that the head of
a great corporation makes his ap-
pearance on the hill, so he would
not come under Mr.. Aliens defni-
tion of an habitual inhuencer of
gislation.-Chronicle.
