STATEHOOD AND IRRIGATION.

Gov. N o. Murphy returned from Washington last Saturday, aud accord ing to the Phoenix Republican,, he Is uot hopeful of securing statehood, or the passage of any general irrigation bill pledgiug government aid The nutavorable outlook for statehood he attributes to the apathy of the great railroads, the banks and oiher corpora tions of the territory and further de clares that Arizoua'S statehood repre- Sentatives at Washington conld not show to the congressional committee that there aas suy desire m Arizona for statehood. There are very many peo- pie who doubt fl Mr Murphy is siu cere in his advocacy of statehood. but now that his term of office is nearing the end, it may be that they'do him an injustice
 The fact of the matter is, as MT. Murphy should know, that tue repub. licans in the senate are unalterahly against statehood for the territories ( n purely politically grounds. They 70 not intend to hazard the chance of cr. atiDg three new states which would more than likely send six democrats to the United States senate. and thus en- danger republican supremacy in that ol'garchy of lawmakers. Republican promises of statehood for tbe terri,o. ries have all along been in-incere.
 As to irrigation, the difficulty of se- curing congressional assent to national aid is complicated by the efforts of inst such men as Governor Murphy at Washington lobbying for some private scheme. The Murphys and their fol- lowing at Phoenix are the worst ene- mics Of national irrigation, because they are working for the control by corporation of the most available res- eryoir site in Arizona that would be absolutely essential to any comprehen. sive system of national irrigation in this territory With opposition and dissembling among prominent men of the west, the eastern congressman has a very plausible excuse for not voting for national irrigation bill.

THE MARSHALSHIP WRANGLE.

BeDlsmin F. Daniels seems not in the least disconcerted over the uuen- v,sble notoriety he has gained by reason of the charges preferred against him in the United States senate, and which lead to the recall of his commis- sIen as United States marshal for Ari- zona. He speaks of the affair with \ nerve, but without entering denial or attempting to explain the grave and bnmiliating charges that he is an ex- convict He has asserted that his re- cent letter to the president will explain matters to the satisfaction of the latter, bnt Washington dispatch of the 18th inst, to the Phoenix Republican, con yeys different impression. It states
 'The president and the department of justice have received facts which will prevent the commission being lsrutu 'O Dtu bhhitis hs HihThih or Arizona. Daniels has written letter to the president, winch is not satis- factory, and he will not be allowed to assume the duties of his office.
 This disagreeable affair has gained wide notoriety, and some of the eastern press have seized upon it as a delect- able subject for editorial comment, which although following facetions vein, is nevertheless very damaging to Arizona's good name and tends to in. crease the prejudice against the terri tory which so largely obtains in the east. This is the more deplorable, oc- curing at this time when Arizoua is making an earnest effort to present her inst claim to statehood before con gress.
 Under the heading of "The Cowboy iu Office, Public Opinion reproduces the comments of several influential eastern papers on the Daniels fiasco, from which we make the following ex. cerpts

There appears to be an indifference to the presence of contagious diseases and the uusauitary condition of the town that is inexplicable. We have n quarantine of patients suffering from one disease, while those afflicted with more loathsome and equally con tagious (if not so dsngeruus) n naady. are permitted to go about unre- strained to scatter the pestilence. Whether the eruptiye disease, of which there are five or SIX cases, is chicken pOx, Cnban itch or smallpox. we are convinced that every effort should be exerted to check 1t. Eradicate the disease first and dispute about its character afterwards that is our ad- vice, and We believe most people in the town will agree with us, Oar streets and alleys are in filthy condition
 hotbeds of corruption and breeding places of disease. IL is false economy not to renovate the town now and quarantine every person with con tsgious disease or who has been exposed to one. It would cost much less to carry ont these measures for the protection of health now, than to triae with the question until diseases become epi. demic. We hope 10 see the pnbhc mipd aroused on this subject, and de- cisiye action taken.

them by giving readings of passages.
AS preface to his general remarks
he sad
Literature and vocal expression
are one. Neither can live and flour

expression. Silent reading may give

to impart the soul" q
Shakespeare furnishes the best of
food for the orator. His writings are

truth appears in the garb of beauty"
Mr., Southwick closed his address
with the recital of the speech Of Mark
Anthony. A finer recital has never
been heard In Akron. The speakers
manner was perfection, his delivery
intensely dramatic and thrill
ing, and he held the audience breath
