The Statehood Committee.
IFrom the Phoenix Gazette.l

The statehood committee met yester- day in the office of Chief Justice Street. The attendance was large and the committee feels much encouraged over the numerous letters received from the outside counties. Col. Christy, owing to illness resigned, and Jerry Millay was elected chairman of the finance committee. The committee by unan- imous vote added the name of Jessie Grant to the visiting delegates. The committee on transportation received advices from the Southern Pacific that half fare rate would be given visit ing delegates between Arizona and New Orleans, while no kink of rates could be secured from the Santa Fe. This is an illustration of the feeling entertained by the two trunk lines to- wards the citizens of Arizona. The finance committee has assurances that the committee will be able to collect from $2000 to 5000 for statehood pur- poses. This the committee will utilize at the earliest possible opportunity, and will proceed at an early day to send suitable men to Washington in the interests of statehood.

Prediction Being Fulfilled.

Here is prophetic utterance of Lincoln embodied in letter, written shortly before his death, to an old time friend. He said:
 ''Yes, we may all congratulate oar sel yes that this cruel war is so nearing its close. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. The best blood of the flower of American youth has been freely offered upon our country $ altar that the nation might live. It has been indeed trying hour for the republic: BUT I SEE IN THE NEAR FUTURE A CRISIS APPROACHING THAT UNNERvES ME AND CAUS. ES ME TO TRFMBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF MY COUNTRY.
 As a result of war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of cor ruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country vii, endeavor to prolong it's reign by work ing upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroy ed. I feel at this moment more anx- iety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicious may prove groundless."

SINCE Colonel Epes Randolph became division superintendent of the South ern Pacific in Arizona that railroad has made many friends out of men who had heretofore been avowed enemies. This has been accomplished by fair and honest management which has dealt with all alike. The principle oi ; fthe people be d-d," as applied tr railroads and other public utilities under corporate control, does not enter into Colonel Randolph's plans. On the contrary, he takes hold with the un. derstanding that in upbuilding Ari- zona he at the same time is advancing the interests of his company, which is the correct theory.
