the other day to the effect that Arizona would have to attach itself to the re- publican party before she could hope for admission as a state. The Times takes this position unblushingly, while at the same time admitting frankly that Arizona has the strongest possible case in her demand for admission The Times says:
 Arizona has made remarkable prog ress during the past decade. No longer distinctively the Hand of sunshine and silver" she is now the land of copper and gold and cattle and agriculture. It is not at all improbable that within ten years from now the last named in dustry may by no means be the least. but the chief of these which contribute to the progress of the territory. As far as horticulture is concerned. Arizona stands today about where southern California was twenty-five years ago, when we were just emerging from the .'cow country era Life and property are as safe today in Arizona as they are in any section of the United States. and indeed far safer than in many of our large cities. The territory has of late been filling up with class of in telligent settlers from the eastern states. With the introduction of sys- tenn of national irrigation of the arid land-of the Uncle Sam. not Governor Murphy brand-we may see in Arizona, during the next decade. development somewhat similar to that which has been witnessed in southern California during the past twenty years.
 It may. therefore, safely be granted that in population. in natural resources and in social conditions the territory of Arizona is ripe for statehood. Doubt less a majority of her citizens desire statehood
 Everything the Times says about the resources and the growth of Ari- zona is well inside of the actual facts. AriZona's mineral wealth is undoubt- edly greater than that of any other territory or state. She is destined within a very few years to rank first in the production of gold. copper and silver. Her agricultural and horticul- tural possibilities are enormous. She will doubtless in time become tn. greatest producer of livestock in the union.
 Arizona has an intelligent and en- terprising population. In fact. she pos sesses all the qualifications for state hood. ''

Yuan Shi Kai, the successor of u iHce in which Pekin and Tien Tsin are situated is one of the craftiest personages in high position anywhere in China, says the Providence Jour dant of the young emperor in 1898, when the sovereign, attempting to in- augurate reforms, found that he had not soldiers to obey his commands Yuan listened to his plaint and after learning all the secrets of the reform CTS went to the empress dowager with the whole story. Yuan will also be remembered as the Chinese general who was sent to put down the Box CTS upon their first movement toward Pekin. He allowed them to follow his retreating soldiers to the capital, and thus made them all-powerful In the city. This appointment is a bad one for the concert, and there will be trouble if the powers put their faith in the man, who is a Manchu, and as proud as Ii Hung Chang was amb;- tious. But the same edict by which Yuan was named brought forward a very different man as his assistant This individual. Wang Weng Shao, is moderate in his ideas. But he is very old, and his services will not be what they would be if his mind were more vigorous.

According to a French writer, M.

According to 8 French writer, M. Pierre Quillard. the world is again to

 that the sultan, who in addition to being the most cruel mon- ster known to modern civilization is one of the shrewdest diplomats in the world. has an ulterior purpose in keep ing the attention of the powers dis tracted by bubbles over financial questions while he carries out his evil tians in Armenia.
 The last detailed news which we have from Armenia is dated She latter part of July. This is the horrible sit uation which reigns in the Moush dis trict: Every Mussulman believes him self at liberty to kill every Armenian he may encounter. and the harvests are abandoned in the fields because no peasant dares to leave his house. One cry alone is heard on the lips of the poor Armenian peasants, and that is for death. deathi
 The hero of the plain of Moush is Alai-bey, the commander of the Turk ish army. He wishes to be the scourge fl the Arr,1enians. At this moment all tee Sassoun mountains are covered with the tents of the Kurdish tribes. Alai-bey has planned to have the, Sassouniotes descend from the noun tains and inhabit the plains In order to intiinidate them the government has sent architects and engineers with 500 soldiers to construct barracks on four points. GhenilS. Guellieh, Guzan and Talori. The government wishes to de- stroy the Sassouniotes. and considers that to take away from them their na- tive place will be a mortal blow to them.
 From the date of this information (which is accompanied by accounts of a score of murders of Armenians) the silence is absolute. the silence of death; the state of siege has been proclaimed Eight battalions sent by BitIis sur round the Sassoun and devastate the plain of Moush, others are en route from Erzeroum. From all parts of Erzinghian, Kharpout. and of Diarbe- kir rumors of movements of troops and of nlassacres are circulated, and to accomplish his work at leisure the sul- tan stops the transmission of consular reports to the ambassadors of France, Russia and England. The worst crimes are perhaps accomplished. Zekhi Pacha gave all his talents to the work in 1894, and Ali Pacha, the man of Spanghank, has shown himself a worthy subaltern of his immediate chief and Of Abdul Hamid, his sov- ereign. Without doubt it is already true that the lamentabie prophecy made by an Armenian in the middle of July has come to pass: Behold Moush and it's plain in fire and in fame-be- hold SassoCn in agony"

CROOK, THE UNKISSED.

Professor Crook, of the Northwest.

by asserting that he 'never Rugged or
kissed a woman" says the Baltimore
American.
Professor, Oh, Professor,
Did you never slyly slip
Your arm around a damsel with a red
and pouting lip?
Did you never feel a culver
From your finger to your toes
When you sought to kiss her rightly,
and carecned upon her nose?
Professor, Oh, Professor,
Did you never take a drive
When the moonlight and the Made n
made you glad you were alive?
Never guide the horse O~ne.handed.
Or, thr0 one part of the trip,
Let him amble slowly homcw ard with
the lines wrapped round the whip?
Professor, Oh, Professor,
Did you never feel a tug,
at your heartstrings, when the mo.
ment was approa ching for a hug?
Did you never get the Jingle,
Like a strong magnetic breeze,
"hlcn is the pc .culiar symptoms of a
frank wa honest squeeze?
Professor, Or, Professor,
In your tan -a%nd.freckle days,
DID you 'lever try 'postonce" and
such o~seulating plays?

Never56iss you on the cheek

Professor, Oh, Professor,
OF your failings l take note,
And it's hard to think that really you
have got a right to vote!
And my only hope, Professor,
III It's tue you've not been kissed
Is that Fate has fixed it some way so
ycu don't know what you've miss'd.

THE OIL SHOOTERS WORK.
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
His first step Is To ascertain the
depth of the well and the distance to
the Observation-Disclosures spot where
the charge must be set off. The reel
carrying the cord used in lowering the
exploding parapherualia into the we'll
is fastened to the fly wheel OF the en-
CINE and the shooter pays the loose
end OF the cord into the tubing of the
well, watching it carefully as it un.
winds. 1t is u matter OF vital i'm.
portance that the reel should work
smoothly, as any hitch, or ever a kink
In the rope, in lowering the nitro.
~glycerine into the well might prove
fatal.
First OF all, some small tin supports
known as anchors are sunk in the
we'll. They serve as a platform to
hold the exploding charge above the
bottom Of the shaft at a height where
1t IL will have the most effect on the
Oil-bearing stratum. Next, the shell
itself, the tin cylinder which is to re.
ceive the charge Of liquid destruction
is hung in position at the top of the
shaft. The shooter brings forward
the cans of nitro-glycerine and places
them within easy reach on the plat.
form at the mouth of the we'll.
The critical moment In the whole
process has now arrived, and this is
the time when spectators, except the
Grew that operates the well, usually
retire to a safer distance. The shooter
opens his cans OF nitrO-glycerine, re.
moving the two shoppers in the upper
end OF the can. One of these Is to
serve as an outlet for the explosive,
the other as an ingreSs for air, so that
there shall be no bubbling or splash.
ing as the charge runs out. Anything
of that kind might sweep crew, der.
rick and all, from the face of the
earth-or 1t might not. That is one
Of the pleasing uncertainties of nitro.
