THE REPUBLICAN SPECIAL EDI-
 TON.

Orders are coming in rapidly for copies of the special edition of 10000 which The Arizona Republican will issue February 2S. This is gratifying and shows that the effort is meeting with appreciation. MT. Anderson, who has the matter in charge, says he has been very successful thus far in selling extra copies in advance. This is an excellent opportunity to let the people know what Phoenix and her enterprising citizens are doing. Every one who is interested in the welfare of the territory should encourage the enterprise by sending out copies of this issue. It will be worthy of the widest circulation.

SHREWD EMPEROR WILLIAM.

When word first came that two Ger
 man missionaries had been killed in
 China the world paid but little atten-
 It was simply a one-day's sensation and the matter was apparently forgot ten by every one save the German em-
 peror. It was not long, however, be- fore word came that Germany had landed some sailors at Kiao-chau Bay and demanded reparation and all that sort of thing, usual in incidents of the kind. Then Germany despatched a fleet of two war ships to China in charge of Prince Henry of Russia. In the meantime, however, the Germans had forced China to grant them lease of the bay for ninety-nine years. Now the Chinese emperor has made another apology to Germany and has ceded to that country zone thirty miles wide for the construction of a railway that is to run two hundred
 miles to the capital of the province.
 While Germany was quietly and de- liberately accomplishing all this Rus sia and Great Britain and Japan were
 sparring for points. Thus far both
 Great Britain and Russia have failed to make any headway in China. The latter country was ready to accept from Great Britain a loan of $6O,000,- 900, in return for which certain privi- leges were to be granted, but it was understood that China must have same, Russia offered to make the loan on certain conditions, even going fur ther than Great Britain, while also threatening to do certain dire things if England's assistance was accepted Thus China, with both horns of the dilemma poking in it's face, hesitated and word comes from Peking that the Chinamen will worry along without the loan, leaving Great Britain and Russia out in the cold. But Germany had no such questions to stand in the way. It had quietly planted it's flag at Kioa-chau Bay, and that settled it. Without any buster or waste of time, Germany secured foothold in China, while Great Britain and Russia had to cool their heels on the outside.
 When young Emperor William took charge of affairs in Germany he was set down by the rest of Europe as sort of hot-head, impetu- ous and void of diplomatic sense. He kept springing surprises, in the way of speeches and telegrams, much to the annoyance and amusement of old | er statesmen. Suddenly, however, he i loomed up in China as the master, thus far, of the situation. There is more in the young emperor than his | rivals imagined. They have discov- cred, too late, that he can act as we'll | as talk.
 Just what Russia and Great Britain are to do under the circumstances the statesmen of those respective coun- .ries are trying to discover. It begins o look as if Russia and Great Britain would have to form a combination )f their own to the extent of demand ng that China accept loan from both countries with privileges similar o those granted to Germany. Elm ,eror William has taught both the gar and Lord Salisbury a lesson in low to do it and do it quickly and ef- actively. He saw his opportunity, when two German missionaries were and he seized it. Young William keeps his eyes open for the main chance.

The question that is agitating the ma
specting our new possessions is shall
they be territories or colonies? AS
territories they would have govern
ment similar to that of Arizona and
the same tariff and other laws con-
trolled by congress would serve them.
AS colonies they would probably be
patterned after the British colonies iH
which more extended privileges may
be granted in some respects controlling
the tariff laws, in which case a dis
crimination nfavor of the United
States would probably be the position
in the matter of tariff. Practically the
territorial form of government would
mean free trade with the new posses
sions; the colonial form of govern
ment might mean free trade but more
likely a modified tariff, as under this
form those possessions would be ex-
pected to support their own govern
ment, as for instance, Canada does
and the colonial form of government
would give more latitude to the gov
ernment of the islands, but no doubt
would keep them in the position of COL
onies for all time to come. As terri
tories the day might come some time
when they would be broken up into
states of the union.

The citizens of Maricopa county
have duty to perform, which if left
undone will simply stand in their way
and against their best interests. They
want the best business men on either
ticket for the county offices; they
want the most responsible able and eX-
perienced men on either ticket for the
legislature. The class of men desired
will be found on the Republican tick
ct, without exception. The Herald
has repeatedly named the ticket and
spoken of the candidates individually.
1t has done so carefully. advisedly. 1t

MADE BY THE INSANE.
Curious Tools to Assist Them in Their
Fancies.

DR.. E. A. Down. of this city, says
the Hartford Courant, in his official
capacity as member of the state
board of charities, visits periodically
the various insane asylumns in the
state, and he has had an opportunity
to make the most unique collections
that were ever gotten together. One
consists of a number of primitive tools
manufactured by the inmates of in
sane institutions for purposes of escap-
ing or defense or attack. Many insane
people are possessed of the delusion
that they are the objects of some spe-
cfal persecution. and in order to protect
themselves against their supposed per-
secutor or in order to be prepared to
attack him when they chance to meet
him. they work in secret and prepare
for themselves some very unique wea-
pons. More commonly their efforts
are expended in making tools for pur-
poses of escape. The materials which
they have at hand for this purpose be-
ing very limited, they are compelled to
use whatever they can find, and the
greatest ingenuity is often exercised by
men that to the casual observer would
seem quite incompetent. DR.. Downs
collection of these primitive weapons
and tools is quite comprehensive in its
line, and each article in 1t carries with
it a thrilling story of escape or at
tempted escape.

spoon which a patient at an opportuue
time smuggled to his room from the

Cowan's report on the Indian school to
the department of the interior. To this
valley this school is becoming a mat
ter of great Importance. In eight years
1T has grown from a school of so pu-
pills and one building to a school of
thirty buildings and $50 pupils and its
appropria tions by the government have
increased from $4,000 eight years ago
to $4,000. This is all new money
brought into the valley from the out
side and which goes into the channels
of business here. Every business man
in this city and valley should lend his
assistance to have the school extended.
4 1000 pupils will mean an annual eN
penditure here of atieast 100000 in
their maintenance aside from the large
additional investment in buildings that
will be required. Every man that has
a friend at Washington in any capac-
ity should ask him to lend what in
iuence he may be able to exert in Sc
curing further appropriations for this

EUROPE IS LEARNING.

1t is not improba BILE that the Ameri
can manner of dealing with the mur
derous Spaniards in Cuba, who were
thrown off this continent for their hor
rible atrocities against their own sub
jects, has had the effect of stiffenine
the purpose of the European powers
in their dealing with the unspeaka Bile
Turk, who has been very tenderly
handled during recent years while he
perennially slaughtered his Christian
subjects. At last the powers have
dealt summarily with the Sultan's
army in Crete, first interposing be-
tween it and the Greeks of the island
and compelling 1t to cease its murder
Gus assaults, and finally demanding in
joint note that it shall leave the is
land. The Sultan has yielded and
promised to deport the troops. The
Christians of Crete will be delivered
from cruel Moslem rule. One step
may lead to another, and the powers
may unite in demanding fair treatment
for the Armenians and the kingdom of
Greece. Weak procrastination has
given place to firm determine ton. The
beginning is welcome; we hope 1t will
be followed by the imposition of other
restraints upon the bigotry, injustice
and cruelty of the Turk. After all, it
is the more intelligent citizenship of
that is responsible for Spain's
punishment. There is no such pressure
IF public opinion in Europe, save pos
Silly in England, as here, and it is not
