A NEW SCHEME
To Annex San Diego County to ArIzons

An exchange in San Diego makes the following proposition:
 'one of the best plans to benefit this country yet suggested in connec- ton with State division is that which contemplates it's annexation to Arizona and the admission of that Territory into the Union as State. Viewed from a purely business standpoint there is probably no scheme that would do as much good both to Arizona and to San Diego. It would give to Arizona deep water connection with all the world through one of the finest natural seaports in it, and would make of San Diego the ocean me- tropolis of great State. The first immediate result of the consummation of such plan would be direct rail- road to the East. The second womb be substantial recognition of the claims of San Diego Harbor in Con- gress. When appropriations of millions of dollars are made for the construc- tion of an artificial hnrbor and of dry docks in an open roadstead like San Pedro, and all through the efforts of a single wide-uwake Senator, it is not too much to assert that with two Senators from the new State, working together for the only harbor in it. the same benefits could be secured for it. Los Angeles has so often wished us in Mexico that she could not with decency ooJect to our annexation to Arizona. Much more could be said in favor of this plan, and we propose in the future to show the many advantages of it in detail, and advocate it in place of State division, as we believe that the srea- ton of the new State, with San D ego as one of the counties of it, would i've us the naming of one of the Sena ,ors and Congressman, beside a solid delegation to work for us in all ns val matters. Instead of being relegated to the last place after every open road stead in the country had been heard we would be placed in the very first rank as the only seaport of a great State"

FLORENCE has been plunged in a vortex of pleasure this week, some thing going on every night. This fact in connection with the sudden depart ure of the foreman of the printing office and the further fact that the editor was on the U. s. grand jury, has had a tendency to slightly cripple this issue of the TRIBUNE; but it is still in the ring, and will make up for lost time in the future.

HOME RULE FOR ARIZONA.
Bill In Congress to Allow Arizona to Elect
 Her Officials.

The Gazette says that just before the adjournment of congress Delegate Smith introduced bill giving Arizona the right to elect her own officials from governor down all along the line. The United States marshal and attorney were excepted. Delegate Smith thinks that if our statehood bill fails this bill will become law.
 The measure is an eminently just one and ought to appeal to the fairness of the lawmakers of the nation. The bill gives the power that now makes the territorial appointment authority un- der prescribed conditions to remove an official; first, however, such official must be impeached by the courts of the territory before the Washington authorities have jurisdiction in the matter. All salaries as at present are to be paid by the United States, but if if we are to be debarred from state hood, we con at least have say as to who shall be our governor, secretary, judges, etc.

AN exchange truly says: Eviden

AN exchange truly says: Evidence of prosperity in any community is apparent in the prosperity of the news paper published for the benefit of that community. Generous patronage of the newspapers not only indicates healthy condition of local trade, but it also serves to strengthen and energize the public spirit, without which the stimulus of business becomes apathetic and eventually dormant.
