A letter recently received from Gov ernor Murphy, who is now in Washing
 ton laboring with his WE ARE usual industry and per
 HIS'N. severance for Arizona
 and her welfare, gives rather a gloomy view of the statehood question. In other words. Arizona will not be admitted. She Is on the wrong side of the fence. politically. We had our opportunity and lost it. There is no use crying over spilled milk, Yet we cannot help deploring a loyalty Ito the silver fetich that overlooked the main chance. If we were a state We might obtain much legislation that would help us greatly now. Without state hood we have absolutely nothing to swap. Neigh ho! We are sorry. but there Is no help for it. Mark comes high, but we've got to have him.

 Or a spent swimmer Breasting angry waves to save a life, With dying eyes fixed on the rescuing boat, And knowing it is all too late, Makes till his strokes grown feebler With each laboring breath-yields not The life he gives his own to save:
 This is not failure, Nor bird nor swimmer gives up pur- pose.
 Long, long centuries Agone, one walked the earth. his life A seeming failure; Dying, he gave the world a gift
 That will outNast eternities.

A week later Senator Quay was amazed to receive an indignant ledter demanding why he had not kept his promise about the post-office. Af- ter an almost endless series of letters Senator Quay learned that his only es- cape would be to appoint the man, and then Senator Davis told him he h-.d his revenge.

The business edifices are for the most part of creditable character, and beautiful homes are the rule and not the exception. Shade trees are in almost unbroken line on either side the broad and regularly platted thoroughfare.
 Phoenix is not only the capital of Arizona, but is as we'll the county seat Of Maricopa county, the most import ant political subdivision of the terri tory. containing within itself one-third of the territory's taxable wealth.

 In her representation in the United
 States senate. It will
 OUR only be necessary to SENTI- mention those of the MENTS last half century whose EXACTLY. influence in the senate
 was second to none Stephen A. Douglass, Lyman Trumbull. John A. Logan, David Davis, Richard Yates, Richard J. Oglesby and John Nj. Palmer. All of these have passed away but their names will live as long as the country whose laws they helped make shall exist. One of the crowning gio- ries common to these eminent men was that they were of the people; they were self-made men and poor. No tlInt of trusts or of corporate greed ever rest ed upon any of them.
 It is no disparagement to these hon Ored representatives of Illinois in the United States senate to say that i'm partial history will place the name of Shelby M. Cullom on the roll of fame alongside of theirs. He was born and reared upon a farm; he knows what it is ito be poor, hence his sympathies have always been with those who la Dor on the farm, in the factory, the mine, or the counting room. He has made a record of honesty, ability and industry as representative in the state legislature, in the house of represen- Natives. as governor and as senator. 1Ihe state has done him the honor of a third election to the senate; she can not honor him more than this, but she can honor herself and retain her great powers in the senate by electlng him again.-Springfield News
