ARIZONA FOR ORANGES.

IA repetition this week of the disas- trous frost which visited the orange growing sections of Florida two years ago takes that state out of the list of safe orange producing states. The climatic conditions there have under gone a change which makes orange culture dangerous undertaking. Authentic reports say that hundreds of orange groves were killed, and tha loss of that portion of the years pro- duct remaining on the trees was com plete. There is a certain degree of risk in all semi-tropical regions in the culture of orange trees, but there are some places where the risk is not SO great as in others, and these places are in the desert valleys of ifornia. In Arizona the cul- tivation of orange trees has passed the experimental stage and the trees have stood the test of severe cold spells without the slightest damage. There is defined orange belt in the Salt river valley, and as long as orange groves are planted within it's limits there will be no danger of their de- !struction by frost. That this is also true of the valleys of southern Califor- nia was shown only last week when frost killed number of promising young groves which were crowded cut of inc nrot ecti0n Of inc mountains Inv the older groves. The Salt River val ley has proven it's virtues as an or ange growing region, not only in the shelter it receives from the cold but also in the quality of oranges pro- duced here. Orange culture in the valley undoubtedly has bright fu- ture.

TO PURCHASE NEW TERRITORY.

MT. Lodge has introduced in the senate bill to purchase of Denmark the little islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John in the West Indies, and the fact has called forth the ex- pression of strong and widespread sentiment, particularly in the east, in favor of the proposed purchase.
 Denmark has long wanted to sell these islands, and this country at one time, during the Johnson administra- agreed on being $S,00Oy00O, but Charles Sumner, out of pure spite toward the administration, defeated the scheme. The island of St. Thomas has a sp,en- did harbor that could be made a strong coaling and naval station for the United States, close to the north ern coast of South America and for the command of the Caribbean sea, but aside from this purpose the islands would be of little use to us We should have strong position, un- doubtedly, in the West Indies and close to the South American coasts, but whether we ought to pay millions for thE location is anofAr question. We must begin to obtain coaling sta tions and docks and points of rendez- vous for our navy in different parts of this hemisphere if we expect to con- trol the new world, and a start at St. Thomas would be an admirable be- ginning.
 The main consideration for the pur- chase of these islands just now, how ever. is the possibility of their pur- chase by an European power, such as Germany or France, in the event that we refuse to take them. Den mark has offers from others, and may attempt to transfer them to some of the bidders. In that event we should have to abandon the Monroe doctrine or become involved in a serious quar- rel The Monroe doctrine covers the case of a transfer of original posses sions to another European power, and not for $S,000,00O or twice that amount could we afford to abandon the doc Urine or go to war.
 In this view of the case it may be the best and cheapest policy to pur- chase the Danish West Indies and so kill two birds, so to speak, with one stone-obtain strong foothold a thousand miles further south and a commanding station in the West h. dies, and as to the Atlantic coast of south America, and at the same time avert possible trouble with some am- oitlous European nation. We cannot always remain indifferent to the ex- tension of our strategic positions and naval advantages in the southern DOT tion of this hemisphere.

The record established under the Franklin administra ton, of 79 per cent of cases cured at the territorial insane asylum, is so far in advance of that of New York and other so- celled centers of scientific progress that we may reasonably look for the advent of many insane persons, to say nothing of insanity experts who may desire to study the methods employed so successfully by Dr. Hughes.

When Spain goes a ste pfurther and recog- nizes that fighting can do no more with the Cubans than offers of auton- omy, she will be ready to pull out of the island. The Cubans are now pre- pairing to force the fight and aid Spain in speedily reaching the latter conclusion. Success to their plans!
