THE REASON WHY.

1 The Riverside Enterprise of Cal
 ifornfa, discussing the admission of
 Arizona and New Mexico to the Union
 says:
 Arizona and New Mexico will again apply for admission as States during
 the next Congress and it is probable
 that the question will develop one of the lfveliest debates of the session
 Both are amply entitled to Statehood on other grounus as population and material resources Arizona will make q special plea of the worse than incompetency of former Territorial Governors under whom swindIes of various kinds have been perpetrated upon the Territory. It is understood that the fear of receiving four addi- tional silver Senators is the only reas- on why these sections shall be con tinued under the tutelage of he Ad- It is not q reason which will bear very vigorous discussion such as is very certain to be directed it it by the silver men in both Hous- es."

Inasmuch as about S20000.OoO will be expended upon River and Harbor Improvements, under contracts previ- ously made.d during the next fiscal year there is quite q strong feeling in Con gress ill ravor of emitting the usual River and Harbor Appropriation bill at this session. No agreement to that effect has actually been made, but it will not be surprizing should that be the result of the exchanges of opinion on the subject now going on. Under s3ich action San Pedro would be left with her door half open and Los An geles would have an opportunity to swear.

The War Department seems to be after Ft Whipple. In the Harrison administration the active work of Gov. Murphy saved the post for the time and in the Cleveland administration other influences were necessary to re tain that post from destruction; again it is reported an order has gone forth for it's abandonment and Gov. McCord is endeavoring to save it. The press of all northern Arizona andof Phoenix has repeatedly discussed this matter and has repeatedly shown the neces- sity of the retention of this post. Lo- cated as it is the forces established there are available either in cases of trouble with the Indians on the White Mountain reservation. the Navajo res ervation or among the Indians in the northwestern portion of Arizona. Thus it is the only necessary post in the north and is most eligibly To- cated where its troops are available at the shortest possible notice in all northern Arizona and by our present railroad connections the WhippIe forces could be set down at Nogales on the Mexican border or at any point along the Southern Pacific road before troops from Ft. Grant, located in Southern Arizona could reach those points The people of Northern and Central Arizona are not merely ask ing for the retention of Ft. Whipple for the amusement and benefit of the Prescott people; they ask for it on the more substantial grounds of the great and best interests of the people of The whole Territory.

Senator White of California has en-
 gagged in a fight against the admission of the Hawaiian Islands thus distinct Iy lining himself up with that combin- ation of sugar capitalists with the SpreckIes family at it's head who have secured the free importof theHawaiin product into the United States and are endeavoring toand do largely con troI the islands themselves to their personal benefit Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, is another of this crowd who are fighting the admission of the islands because they think they can make more out of those islands as they now exist. The sugar trust is at the bottom of the business and Senator White is it's tool while Sena- White announces that he is so poor that he is considering the matter of making no attempt to be reelected to the Senate. Should his opposition to Hawaii continue it will be useless for him to make further attempt to stay in the Senate whether he will or no. The people of the Pacific Coast want to see the annexation of the Hawaiian islands; there is nothing to lose by their annexation and everything to gain for the Coast and the country at large; those of our Representatives and Senators in Congress who oppose the measure will be held to q strict accountability.
