NOT YET AWHILE" "

Arizona. through it's Governor, is asking to be admitted asa State The request for Statehood will be submit ted to Congress at the coming session
 Numerous reasons are set forth by
 the Governor, in q pamphlet of some length. why favorable and speedy ac ton should be taken on the applica ton; and some of these reasons might but for certain conditions now exist
 ing in the country at large, be regarded as good and sufficient. NOtwithstand- l ing these conditions, or, perhaps, be | cause of them, on the question of ad-
 mission, should it be brought this win
 to vote. the votes of Senators and
 Representatives from California and
 elsewhere on this Coast will probably 1 be unanimously for the proposition The desire, which is natural, if it is not always right to entertain it, to in
 crease the power of this section over
 Federal legislation, will alone serve to
 consolidate ther representative strength
 of this section in aid of Arizona in it's
 efforts to become State. But still,
 it is certain that its admission will not
 be yet awhile.
 The Governors pamphlet offords matter of pride to the people of Ari- zona. and to those of other divisions of this Coast region as well. It makes god showing as to population and alIudes jubilantly to it's voting strength.
 One of the Governors positions. in his pamphlet, is impregnabIe. He declares and shows that Arizona has as much wealth as the average of the twenty-two states admitted from 1791 to 1876 had at the respective dates of their admission. His showing in this regard will satisfy any mountain or Pacific Coast man. though it may be difficult to convince many of the east This wealth is largely estimated. it is or in the bowels of the and people who are accus- toned to think only of visible property | may doubt the Governors word. All | the same the wealth is there, and the 1 country at large is having the benefit | of it.
 The difficulty in the caseis political. | In the last Presidential campaign, -he Republicans of Arizona were wise md accepted the gold plank of the St Louis platform They were badly 1 beaten in the election for a delegate O Congress, but they succeeded in all ying themselves with the best and element in the Republican xtent a widespread prejudice against eceiving any more free silver States. But so long as the deIusion shall exist hat free silver" is desirable at the atio of 16 to 1 or any other false ratio nd the country is threatened with the revalence of this delusion, so long lrizona will have to wait This ap- ears to be well understood in the Ter { itory. for bill is preparing there by

 This sentiment was voiced by Rep resentative Heatwolc of AIinn., when he said: Tn my opinion. this Congress should get through it's routine work by May 1 and adjourn. The smallest amount of legislation will be of the greatest benefit to the country. and if we can finish and go home by that date, q good many millions of our countrymen will rise up and call us blessed" Speaker Reed says he sees no excuse at present for making the session q very long one.

It is interesting not to say amusing
 to compare the various and varying
 opinions that are published concern
 ing the Presidents message One is
 almost led to believe that men and
 newspapers seem to be dishonest with
 themselves, they surely are with the
 public, when from the standpoint of citizenship in the country, contempIat- ing the development and advancement of the great general interests of a great people. claiming a desire to pro mote the general welfare of the nation, should condemn on the one hand, approve on the other. or recog-
 nize only indfferently on public pre- sentation of the great questions in volving the nation and the recOmmen- dations of the President thereon. who it is fair to presume is beyond person al bias, sectionalism, ignorance The facts are the variety of opinions ex- pressed are the outgrowth of personal interest alone. Few men now days allow themselves to have ideas be yond their personal and selfish ends Even when q man in these times goes to the polls he casts his ballot not so much with d view of eIecting the man whose name is on that ballot as in the hope, the strong desire that the cleo tiOn of the candidate will develop for the voter, position, favors, honors, or cold dollars National loyalty, under circumstances, is set aside and replaced by absolute selfishness; perhaps the majority of men do not know what disinterested loyalty to the nation is; there is no sentiment of the kind much less is therea principle of the kind in their make up. News papers, so far as they are concerned, | reflect the sentiments of their locality, their constituency

Speaking Of the attitude Of England
in the Grace Turkish imbrogllo, Pre-
mier Salisbury said on Tuesdy: "The
sympathies Of England for Greece are

ligious conviction, X but such con-
siderations could not be suffered tt
guide the policies of nations. the policy
is to maintain peace" If not inhu-

Encourage the Toad.

An exchange says: "The great value
Of the toad to the pomologist and gar.
dener has been fully established, on &C
count of its destroying insects, es.
pecially those injurious to vegetation.
We should, therefore, cultivate its

Of birds. Every tidy housewife detests
the cockroach and other vermin. Two

the coast clear of these. The toad is
possessed of timid and retiring nature,
loving dark shady places, but under
kind treatment becomes quite tame.
Many instances are cited of pet toads

doing valuable service. All that is
necessary to secure their co. operation

and safe retreats by day, convenient
access to water, and they will 20 forth
