Attorney General c. M. E

Attorney General c. M. Frazier rendered an important opinion to the teachers ot the Ter, itory this morning. The question was whether teachers at- tending joint institute in another than their own county were entitled to mileage. Under the law 1t is plain that all teachers attending an institute iL their own county were entitled to mileage but there was doubt wheth- CT teachers going into another county to attend a joint institute were en- titled to mileage. Mir. Frazier holds that they are and that the teachers who attended the joint institute re' gently held in Flagstaff shall receive from thsI county superintendents a warrant for the mileage expended in making the trip. -Pbosnix Herald,

GIVE ARIZONA HOME RULE.

| The citizens of Arizona have been appealing to Congress fur years for admission into tho Union us state, but so far their appeal has been in vain.
 For political reasons we have been kept out of the Union, and have been imposed on for years by corrupt and exlravagsnt officials imported from the states who were unworthy of any position of honor or trust. and unfit to administer the affairs of a free people.
 In order to remedy this great evil and save tho Territory from bank ruptcy and ruin, we should petition Congress to grant us the right to elect our territorial officers from governor down.
 This right was granted to Utah before her admission, and we know of no reason why this right shouldn't be granted to Arizona. Her citizens are as intelligent, and should be as free as any citizens in the states.
 Her imported rulers are not respon- sible to her citizens. and have no in- terest in the Territory further than to draw their salaries, and waste the taxpayers money in useless and ex- travagant expenditures.
 Under such corrupt and extravagant expenditures the rate of taxation grows higher while the territorial in deb,edness is increasing thousands of dollars yearly with bankruptcy. repu- diation and ruin in sight.
 The only way to avold this ruin. and to save our homes, our property and our freedom is to get Congress to grant us home rule or the right of self government.
 There is no politics in this, it is a common cause. and appeals to every citizens who loves his home, his fam fly. his neighbor. his country and his freedom to work and pray for home rule until Arizona is redeemed from her interruptions rulers and tyranical masters. Let Arizonians govern Arr izona.
