BISHOP HAMILTON of the Method ist church has succeeded in making himself very unpopular by espous- ing miscegenation. In Los Ange- les, recently. the learned divine said that he "would marry an in- telligent white girl to an intelli- gent, cultured negro" Defending his position, the bishop says, the human race, being a unit primarily, will eventually be a unit again, and that ''intermarriage of races will bring it about" Condemns ton of Bishop Hamilton's attitude upon the question of intermarriage of the races cannot be too severe. His suggestions, approval and re- commendation of such a course, is an insult to the Caucasian race, and if nothing worse befalls the gentleman. he should be forced to discard his ministerial garb.

HON. LUcIUs BARRow's bill before the legislature, requiring the use ol the International Typographical Union label on all territorial print ed matter, is g good one. It pre- vents outside frat" printing con- cerns doing printing at low rates, because they pay their non-union printers starvation wages. Some of the legislators who are trying to side-track this bill will no doubt be surprised to learn that the Typo graphical Union controls the me- chanical departments of $500 printing establishments in the United States, and has contracts with 90 per cent of the newspapers in the American Publishers asso- ciation.-Winslow Mail.
 Right! And a law should also be enacted prohibiting territorial printing from being done outside The code now in use was printed in St, Louis, and the work could have been done better right here al home. Encourage home industry and out out the idea that better work can be obtained elsewhere It cannot.

THE eight-hour bill, which passed the house early in the session, and which was held up in committee when it reached the council where, finally, it was amended so as to in clude underground miners only, was referred back to the lower house, passed as amended, and is now in the hands of the governor. Little other business, however, has been transacted, with the exception that the house has adopted the mi nority report on Secretary stod- dard's office, and a bill appro- priating the funds of that depart ment to the territorial treasury is likely to be enacted by the assem- bly,, in which event the council will undoubtedly kill the measure.

GRAND CANYON
 March 5, 1903.

Mrs. Seloy came this week from Los Angeles, to spend some time at the Canyon.
 w. K. Vanderbilt, IT,, and his (Fair) wife were visitors at Bright Angel this week.
 With new faces in the ticket office, postoAice, and the curio room, things seem all turned around.
 March came in with a little too much gusto to be pleasant, but the snow which has fallen within the last thirty days, without cessation, will be of great benefit to all within it's reach. The snow now lies over a foot deep in this vicinity. It is disappointing to the visitors at the Canyon, for they cannot get about, but we must remember that "March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers"
 Bright Angel will be deserted by most of it's home folks, this week. Mrs. Buggeln intends going to Los Angeles to visit her daughters; MT. and Mrs. Ferral are going into the Canyon for a months recre- ation; MT. Lumsdon, the engineer, and his wife, leave tomorrow for Los Angeles, to remain about two weeks, and Miss Alice, their daugh- ter, who has been there since the middle of January, expects to re- turn with them; MT. Teed, who has been agent at Bright Angel for the past year, has resigned, and will go with his family to his old home in Kansas. G. s. Kyle will succeed MT. Teed as agent here.

The Assembly on Statehood

Last Monday it was brought to the attention of the house that telegram had been forwarded to Washington in which it was shown to be the united sentiment of the Arizona legislature that this terri tory and New Mexico be admitted as one state As no such action had been taken by the house, Mr. Rowe, of Yavapai, submitted the following seathing resolutions. which were unanimously adopted;
 Whereas, council concurrent res olution No. -, which passed the council February 27th, recites that Arizona, under certain conditions, would be willing to enter statehood jointly with New Mexico. There fore, be it resolved:
 1st-That this house repudiates the sentiment embraced in said res Olution, and it resents the action of whoever was responsible for the tel egram to our delegate, which con- veyed the impression that said res olution was the joint action of both houses.
 2d-In behalf of that band of pioneers who have wrung from the savage this fair land of Arizona, in behalf of the citizens of Arizona who have fought it's battles and de- veloped these conditions under which we now happily exist, this house resents the imputation that our members or the people of Ari- zona will consent to any scheme by which it will lose it's identity and name and it's grand history that has been marked by the. expenditure of blood, treasure and privations.
 3d-Therefore this house repudi- ates, so far as it concerns itself, any use of the name of this house in the telegram which gives publicity to the idea that that sentiment em- braced in said resolution was the joint action of the Twenty-second legislative assembly.
 4th-Therefore, this house in- struots its chief clerk to transmit to the Hon. Marcus A. Smith, by telegram, the sense of these resolu- tions, which is, that Arizona will always fight against any policy, even by implication, through which she may lose her name, identity and history.
 Upon receipt of the above reso- lutions, at Washington, Delegate Smith wired the following reply to Chief Clerk Miller:
 "Am sorry the council passed any resolution looking to any com promise. Both houses, in my judg- ment, should pass a memorial against any sort of a union with New Mexico"

nine chances. Stolte put up good
game at short. The clever pitching of
Ellis was feature and Butler and

stopping many hard low balls. The

Monday Mornings Grist Was Record

Every body who has studied the sub

to Woodstock Jail for 10 days. "Bill'
