[Gazette.


 The practice of the past of pillng up charges in Washington against public men is getting to be 8 serious matter, and a halt ought to be called to this questionable proceeding. We criticise and fight with our officials at home, but the pernicious and disreputable meth ods of piling up charges and counter charges in Washington ought to be put a stop to, and that at once. If an in diyidual has a spite or even an imagin- ary grievance. he for thwith formulates charges, regardless of truth and decency and sends them to the department at Washington; and the government, and the officers, and even the citizens are thus kept in constant turmoil and strife. The investigation of Judge Baker is one ofthe many that has been inaugurated Ill Arizona the past three years. Sam Webb has had dozens of charges filed against him by unreliable and irrespon- sible parties, as has also nearly every official in the territory. With the con- pletion ofthe present filed against Judge Baker, we hope and trust will come an ending of this species ofvandalism. Let us do our qurreling at home, but not jump at every conclusion and take ex- ception to everything that is not to our liking, and file charges against public

san Frauc1ScO Call.
 The report made by Chas. F. Hoff Tn a Call interview concerning affairs in Ari- zona is highly encouraging. Under the stimulus of prosperous year for cattle, an extension of irrigation and the devel- opment of numerous gold mines, the cities of Tucson. Phoenix and Prescott are eager to make improvements which shall put them abreast ofmodern cities, and for this purpose are appealing to congress for permission to issue bonds each to the amount of $I00,00O. Natur- ally these progressive people chafe un- der the cumbersome Territorial regula- tions which require them to seek author ization from congress for the perform ance of acts, the value of which they alone are competent judges, and accord ingly are moved to secure laws which will permit them the exercise of wide liberty of action.
 The interests of California are so closely identified with those of Arizona that nearer relation than has hereto fore existed shonld he established, and the influence of Caifornia's delegation to congress should be thrown into the scale with Arizona S needs. Unlike ev- cry other state or territory of the great west not bordering on the ocean, Ari- zona has no mountain barrier separat- ing it from the coast. It is naturally a part of California, beiug very similar in climate and other conditions to Southern California. Under a higher state of development 1t would be Tn a position to command the commercial facilities of the Pacific, both by land across California and down the lower reaches of the Colorado river to the Gulf of California.
 The development of Arizona would mean draft upon California for some of our most valuable products. includ- ing lumber and bitumInous rock. It would have the further effect of creat- ing a local rail traffic which would tend to reduce the overland transportation charges with which California is bur- dened. Being convenient to Mexico, the Territory is in position to estab- fish commercial relations with the re- public which would be valuable to our entire nation.
 California and Arizona represent the best opportunities in America for the investment of capital in the develop ment of rich native resources. While our state is much better known, Arizo- na, with all it's vast wealth of soil and minerals, is practically an undiscovered country; it's development, rapid as it has been in recent years. not nearly approaching the volume of it's native wealth. It can produce many of the fine products which have given Cali fornia it's fame, it's climate is wonder fully healthful and It lies convenient 1 to the markets of Mexico and the southern states.

the harmony of the convention was nearly destroyed by the Mckinley sen . tlment developed A bolt from the Plat administration was promulgated in the shape of a resolution to substitute anti-Platt delegates-at-large instead of Platt and Lauterbach, and to instruct the New York delegation to vote for Wm. Mckinley for President. Out of 74O votes cast on roll call forced by the Platt leaders on this resolution, 109 were in favor of turning down Platt and Lauterbach. With the result of the vote came an outburst of Mckinley sentl- ment that shook things up for about ten minutes, and nearly caused the collapse of the Plattites.

Mir. M. A. Hanna, McKinley's mana ger, says his favorite' battle cry will be "McKinley and Protection" It was upon this issue Mckinley made his great record in the past, and upon this same issue ho will succeed in the fu- ture. Protection is the bedrock of Re- publicarism, and the very life of the Republican party will depend upon whether or no the St. Louis convention will uphold this first and chef doctrine of the Republican party. This creed should simplify matters for the people of Arizona. Nothing like knowing just where you are at."

ARIZONA'S ADMISSION.

The Senate Committee on Territories has finally agreed to report favorably on the oill for the admission of Arizona as a state. Out of the eleven members comprising this committee, but six were present when the action was taken, as follows: Senators Davis, Shoup and Thurston, Republicans and Senators Bate, Call and White Democrats.

GOV. L.. c. HUGHES.

In this issue we publish the official announcement of the removal of Gov ernor l.. c. Hughes, of Arioona. Per- sonally, we have never met MT. Hughes and know him only officially and in his capacity as governor, and as the highest official of the Territory. Whether he has conducted his high office with tonor or not is matter, though, we feel able to answer, and our reply is, undoubtedly he has. That he has made mistakes must be admitted, but who is free from errors? Not even the highest executive in the land. As Democrat. we were proud of the fact that Arizona was gov erned by one of that political faith. We were content at that. and gave our Dem ocratic governor our entire and heartfelt allegiance, the same as we shall give his successor. Our policy has always been, and with the help of our glorious Democratic principles, {may they grow even stronger), ever will be, to adhere to our party leaders in public office, through success or diversity. So they are not wilfully vicious, we are theirs through thick and thin. That Governor Hughes has made good chief executive for Arizona none can deny. He has been progressive and public-spirited :: he has used his exalted position for the enhancement of our interests, and his record in that line will carry his name down the annals of Arizona for all time. What we write is our own opinion, and we assume the responsibility with the most cordial cheerfulness. We never cultivated nor sought the reputation of the "snarling cnr." but rather we pre- fer to emulate the mastiff, i.e.. fight our own battles, and they keep us fully em- ployed. Accordingly, We feel no surfeit of glee at the downfall of MT. Hughes, nor do we considersit becoming on the part of his personal enemies to glOat and hoot at the o"tcome of their ma chinations. He was our governor, what ever his faults, and his public disgrace ought, to magnanmous enemy atone for greater faults than those attributed to Governor Hughes A noble and whole-souled man has no room in his heart for aught but compassion at the resulting outcome of his desires the annIhiIatiOn Of his enemy

A Great Victory.

News from Havana, Cuba, under date of March 2S, gives an account of the downfall of the Spaniards' strongest supply point, Pinar dei Rio. This city is in the western part of the island, and is, or was, city of about twenty thousand inhabitants. It was of incon- ceivable importance to the Spani ards, as they relied upon it as base of ope- rations in that district during the rainy season. Maceo and Gomez commanded the insurgents, about nine thousand strong, and were entirely successful. after desperate battle. The city was garrisoned by four thousand Spanish troops. Maceo. following out his old
 tactics, set fire to the city, leaving nothing but mass of smoking ruins.

 The appointment of Col. B.L. Franklin to the position of governor of Arizona IS a worthy tribute to an able, honest man, a man who will perform his duty to the public without fear or favor, and always be loyal to the democracy of the territory. Temporary promotion too often enlargeS the headiof the recipient of public favors. Men forgets their friends and the party to whom they owe their elevation; but the Gazette has an abiding faith Tn the integrity and sterl- ing good sense ofCol. Franklin, and we, in common with the democratic party of the territory, feel that, under his guidance, the old party will march to sn easy victory this coming fall. The past is gone. let it repose in peace; but let us move on ln harmony to achieve democratic success.

Ir IS openly asserted in political cir cles in New York state that Governor Morton's presidential boom is simply a scheme, intended to keep the old gen. tleman out of the gubernatorial race, and to keep the votes of the state to- gether for trading purposes. Another good and sufficient reason is the fact that at least fifteen prominent New Workers are candidates for gubernator- ial honors, and each aspirant is intent on placing an insurmountable barrier in the way of Morton to the renomination, by persuading him to believe his presi- dential prospects are very bright.
