innocent-looking paragraph in the legis
 lative. executive and judicial appropria tion bill was the cause of the grand de-
 nouement. The paragraph alluded to
 provided that s'the New Mexico legisla-
 ture which convenes in December should
 hereafter convene May f." At first
 glance, one would say nothing very startling in that; but look at the result ard what the arch-conspirators in- tended. The Republicans, of course, expect to elect their candidate for presl- dent the coming fall Such being the case, it would follow that the governor of New Mexico would be Republican; j; at least, very soon after the presidents inauguration, March 4. Accordingly, how much mere convenient it would be for the Republican place grabbers to have the territorial legislature convene May l. to sanction the gubernatorial ap- pointments to fill the territorial offices now held by Democrats, than to be com pelled to wait until the regular sesslon of the legislature in December. The Republican party could thus derive the greatest amount of good in the least possible time, for the enhancement of their cause. It was cunningly planned, but grossly perpetrated. They figured without their host. Of what avail is the puny cunning of Catron and Elkins when they come up against such pol itician and statesman as David B. Hill? As we'll might they attempt to dam the Falls of Niagara Hill, the champion of Democracy, always on the alert, all ways quick to detect the salient points in practical politics, saw through it at a glance and denounced it as Repub- lican trick, and moved to strike the pro- viso from the bill. Senators Cockrell, Daniels and German joined with him, and the way Catron and Elkins were roasted in Hills inimitable way was caution. Elkins took offence at the ex- pression used by Senator Hill in refer ring to his (Elkins') manner of engraft- ing the proviso on the bill-"sneaked," but sneaked it remained until the pro- viso was stricken out Such methods of sneaking through measures may be practiced in the territorial congress, and passed over as facetious bits of political but they become extremely reprehensible when attempted by callow and irresponsible representatives in the Federal Congress, there they are not so lightly passed over, but are viewed in the light of senatorial affront. The onus of such efforts drop scathless from the shoulders of the representa- tive, but are visited on the poor deluded people, the (mis)represented.
 Moral-In selecting delegates to rep resent us in congress, let us strive to choose man, one whose garments are not smirched with political filth.

STATEHOOD.

Now that statehood for Arizona seems probable, it is natural that we should look forward to it's ultimate consumma- ton and ask ourselves, candidly, the question, Are we prepared for state hood? Have we the proper material? and if so, can that material be used ir- respective of the political machine? In other words, can we fill our state offices with men who have the brain, the inter- est and the honesty to place at the dls- posal of the new state for it's enhance ment and success, or must We go on as a state laboring under the same disabil- ities, politically, as We have in tie past under territorial form of government. We don't mean to insinuate for a mo- ment that the territory is barren of men possessing such moral attributes. On the contrary, the history of the terri tory proves the error of any such con tention No, We have any amount of brainy men, but to fill the state offices with them, faye, there's the rub" And to give the new state wide and local rec ognition in office, there's another prob lem. To careful reader of the south ern territorial press covering the past two months, the political status in that part of Arlzona cannot but be fraught with grave apprehension on this subject. Where one county out of the twelve sends almost as many delegates to the territorial convention as all the balance of the territory, the chances for improve ment in this respect strikes us as slim. What more natural than the desire among the residents of the northern tier of counties for representation Does iU follow that because of their local isola- tion they must needs be careless of how the government is run by the more fa- vored localities7 Not bit of it, the people of Northern Arizona are just as patriotic, as loyal Americans, and as much interested in the welfare of the new state as their more fortunate neighbors of the sun-favored south. Statehood is fervently desired as the culmination of all that is good for the territory and it's people. Rarely is a voice raised in dissent, and only then on the question of whether or no the political manipulators of the machine yr;lI ar uilI not aocord ms a pronortiOn ia share in the state management. If our northern interests are subserved, we'll and good. Let us have statehood by all means. On the other hand, If we are to be ignored because, forsooth, we are in the minority, then why is it not as well to have our territorial govern ment matter of federal patronage as local territorially.

DID you attend the Republican con- vention last Monday at the court house, St. Johns? From information, we learn it was ,veritable love feast, and that the exercises consisted principally in smiling namely but blandly on the few who were present, and (to casual on- looker) without being moved thereto by any apparent reason. All of which leads us to infer that they must have been rehearsing for the expected obse- quies of the devoted Democrats the coming election.
