RESULT OF OVER CONFIDENCE.

RESULT OF OVER CONFIDENCE.
 The defeat of statehood appears to have been the result of over confidence: the people of the territory were lily prepared to hear so soon after the converting of congress that the bill would not pass.
 For more than year MT. Murphy has assured them that he would pre- sent statehood to Arizona as Christ mas present; and can there be any doubt that he intended to do so? Ger tainly there is none as ito the people phcit confidence which the people placed in his promise.
 MT. Smith succeeded in passing the bill through the house on two occasions with a partisan majority against him. therefore the people had the utmost confidence in the ability of Republi- can delegate to pass the bill through a Republican congress, and of course Mr. Murphy never for moment sus- pected when he pledged the people statehood that he would be unable to redeem his pledge. So we say the hu initiating defeat of the bill, without even a hearing, must be charged to over-confdence-not to a want of ability on the part of our representa- tive in congress. Neither is the defeat of the bill due to want of diligence, for MT. Murphy has been very dilligent in assuring his constituents that the bill would pass.
 Too much confidence tells the story. Had the people possessed less conf dence their disappointment would be less severe, and had Mr. Murphy made fewer promises the people would not have been led to expect of him that which he could not perform
 Even the promise that Arizona would not be radical on the silver ques- tion and the assertion that the silver problem was "a mere incidental issue" seems to have had little effect and leaves the Republicans of Arizona in a somewhat equivocal position.
 But there is one thing for which the people ought to be thankful. The bill has been killed early in the session and attention can now be turned in some other direction. The people can make their plans based on territorial government for several years; while Mir Murphy can attend to his duties on the postoffice and post roads committee without Interruption We need more postofices and better post roads and MT. Murphy ought to be able by '1abor- ing very hard" ito earn his salary in that direction. But eveh should he fail to do so, the lesson imparted to not be over confident will be worth all it costs. The people will have less conf dence in ante-election promises here after and suffer less disappointment if they are not kept; and the value of that is not to be underestimated
 Too much over confidence always re- suits disastrously and the people of Arizona are not the first to learn that fact

If President Cleveland had the Me Kinley bill back of his administration he would not be so much worried by the Morgan syndicate. He would have no bonds to sell.

Every one will admit that MT Cleve- land seeks to restore confidence in our financial system. The only question is, what sort of confidence game will he play?

SOUND BUSINESS SENSE.

SOUND BUSINESS SENSE.
 s. w. Allerton of Chicago has writ ten to Congressman Cannon, who rep resents an Illinois district, urging a restoration of the policy of commercial reciprocity as necessary to the welfare of the great meat industry. MT. Aller- ton says in the course of his letter: "You must restore reciprocity. The shipments of dressed beef to the New England states and the foreign ship ments since the passage of the Wilson tariff bill and the repeal of reciprocity have fallen off 560,0O0 cattle and the shipments of live cattle for export have dropped more than one-half. The importation of foreign goods threw the New England people out of employ ment and, of course they could not eat beef and the repeal of reciprocity re- duced the shipments of cattle and hog products to France, Germany, Bel gium and Switzerland Restoring the tariff will not furnish immediate relief to the government. It will check the importation of foreign goods until the importer has sold out, then he will be clamoring again for free trade. Re store reciprocity, open the markets of the world for our cattle, hog products and canned goods, remembering that we can 100000 head of cattle per year, and that 80 per cent of these goods are shipped abroad"
 MT. Allerton calls attention to the fact that France and Germany have put an excessive high tariff on these goods, making it almost prohibitory, and, besides this, have prohibited our pork products and cattle, claiming that they were diseased, when the facts are that MT Allerton and many others have shipped live cattle for a number of years and have never lost one single steer by disease. Since the repeal of reciprocity, although there are less hogs and 60 900 less cattle than in 1S93'' says MT. Allerton, "catt1e and hogs have dropped $1 per hundred. The foreign exchange is made south and west of the Alleghenies. Restore re- iprocity-farmers products will in- crease in value and will be shipped abroad, and immediate help will be given the government if we can export to the markets of the world
 1.-The farmers products were never so low as they are at the present time, and they and the government are both in distress. We have elected a Repub- lican congress and expect that they will try to do something, and not sit like bump on a log and say I can't, for the expression I can't would never raise a crop of corn in the great state of Illinois, D
 If all the farmers and business men who have been injured by the foolish ruthless and next to criminal destruc- tion of the system of reciprocity would write to congressman representing their various districts, as Mir Allerton has done, there would be such a gener- al shower of letters that the stream would be swelled to the proportions o1 a flood by the time it reached the con gressional desks. It would perhaps be the most effective method of calling at tention to the general disgust and dis

The Amerlcan people never fully realized the. benefits of a protective tariff till they were deprived of it. Ruined industries, bankrupt treas ury, bond sales, and general hard times have taught them a lesson that the present generation, at least, will never forget.
