A REPUBLICAN RAID.

ALREADY the raid upon the feder
al treasury has begun In earnest.
Within forty-eight hours after the
opening of the present congress
bills calling for over $10,000,0OC
for public buildings alone were in
troduced.
In addition to this public build
ing extravaganza, which will be
added to as the season progresses
congressman from every section OF
the country are clamoring for a
share of the swag in the shape of
appropriations for various purpos.
es. Among these are the follow
ing:
Mr.. Frye, of Main, makes a grab
for 100000 for memorial bridge
across the Potomac.
Mr.. Gallinger, of New Hamp-
hire, has his fingers in the pie to a
tune Of 100000 for a dry dock at
Portsmouth, N. H.
Mr.. Squire, of Washington,
calls for 100000 for statute of
Gen. Grant to be erected in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Squire ofWashington, calls
for the modest sum of SGT, 100000
for coast defenses on the Pacific
shores.
These will do for starters. 1t
looks very like another session of
profgacy and jobbery.
Nothing but the presidents veto
can, apparently, save the country
from another "era of good steal

THE bill Introduced in Congress
for leasing of school lands in Ariz-
ona for the benefit of the public
schools has become law. This is
q good measure, one calculated to
aid our school very materially.
Graham County's school will de.
rive great benefit from this law as
there is large amount of school
land now being used and cultivated
by private individuals, which here
after, instead of being of no value
to our schools, will become source
of considerable revenue.

National Committee, in st. Louis
a few days ago, Captain Charles
A Power, ofIndiana, declared in

to that issue they would win.
That's tn. doctrine. Silver is in

ENTITLED TO STATEHOOD

THE following editorial on State
hood for Arizona appeared in the
San Francisco Chronicle:
IF the territory of Arizona is
entitled to the honor and dignity
of statehood, as everything seems
to indicate it should be beneath
the consideration of congress to
allow any arguments, except such
as are founded on equity and
justice, to enter into the discussion.
The population of the territory be-
ing sufficient, Its resources amply
developed and its people hav-
ing given satisfactory evidence of
their attachment to the republican
form of government, there is really
nothing more to be said.
The admission of the territory
to statehood is, it is true, left
within the discretion Of congress
but that is manifestly what is
known as legal discretion, not to
be exercised whimsically or with
out due consideration, not to be
made dependent on partisan poll
tics, and not to be confused with
any issue for the public welfare
which congress may have before
it. To exclude a properly equip
ped territory from statehood fol
fear it's senator's and one or more
representative may disturb the
status of congress is not within
the purview of the constitu
ton.
Even more than this, it isa gross
and objectionable outrage upon
the people of the territory, wht
are citizens of the United States
and who are entitled to come t.
full stature of civic manhood. LIE
the proposition be made, wher'
such a thing imaginable, to reduc
a state to the rank of a territory
and then we should see at one
how much the American value
his privilege of state citizenship
If, then, Arizona is ready 70
statehood, she should be admitte,
at once. Ifshe>is not ready, tina
| fact. should be made public, an
g must operate as stay of proceed
ings. The other alternative, tina
. of financial party in congress OF
posing the admission of Arizon
because such admission might SUI
ply three votes to party whic
: differs from ii, Is unworthy sue
body as the United States cor
,and we do not believe 1T ca
prevail. The contest between gol
and silver is not to be determine
by two senators and a represents
tive from Arizona, and if this b
the only obstacle in the way G
admission, it should be brushe
aside at once as not worthy of cor
sidsration.

BUTLER ON ELECTORAL FUSION.
Doesn't Think Tom Watson's Speech
Was Correctly Reported.

Washington, Sept. s.-Chairman
Butler, in AN interview to-day, said:
There is a strong feeling in the
South that there should be a co-opera-
tive ticket, one composed of men who
fully share each others views on the
great issues of the day and stand to-
gether in every way as representing
the masses of the people. In Bryan
and Watson, there is q cooperative
ticket, IL is a better silver ticket than
Bryan and SewalI. believe that half
the Democrats are satisfied that mis-
take has been made in nominating
Sewall 1t will be admitted on every
side that the Populist party is entitled
10 the Vice-Presidency.
Il do not believe that Mr.. Watson
is correctly reported as saying that If
Sewall is not withdrawn Bryan win be
beaten, because it is principle of the
Peoples party to put patriotism above
party. He certainly did not make a
threat"

one-third the entire line, is now completed
Russia now possesses a direct route from St
Petersburg to the Yenissei River, distance OIL
3,056 miles.
1t appears that the Russians have learned
from Americans a method of overcoming the

Our Forests.

The subject of protecting American forests
from destruction, thus preserving the water
supply and preventing foundations, is one that
promises to receive favorable attention at this
session of Congress. The meeting of the
American Forestry Association in this city has
shown increased interest in this subject. This
Association is doing good work all over the
country, and has more than doubled its mem
bership this last year, now numbering 6l3 MEM
beers. 1t is only recently that public interest
has been aroused in this question. Some of the
States in recent years adopted legislation to
preserve the forests, but the great need is for
National legislation. Bills this subject
passed both Senate and House in the last Con-
gress but they failed to reach conference and
as each house had its own ideas and as the
Houses differed the subject, the legislation
failed The bills have bsen re-introduced this
session with every prospect of becoming laws,
as shown by tho report of the Executive Com-
mittee presented by L. A. Bowers at the meet
ng of the Forestry Association last night.
