OBJECT TO THE AR ENACTMENT

The governors recommendations for redistricting the territory for fu- dicial purposes was better one than the Dill which has been introduced bv Senator Ives. The reason given bv the governor for his recommendation was that the first district composed of the counties Of Cochise. Pima and santa Cruz. all border counties mt too much of a burden on Judge Davis which is probably true. All will agree that Cochise and Graham shop,d he in one district Gila county should De with Graham and Cochise if fus,ica IS 10 be shown 10 the people of tba. county Gila county is directly tribu- tEy to Graham and Cocbjse over +ba Glia Valley, Globe and Northern rail- way. The objection urged in Graham and Cochise county to the Ives biU is that Pinal county is attached 10 these two counties. Judge ,Doan lives in Final county and will most certainly continue the federal court al FIoraTca
 
 under such an advancement as r-o. posed by Mr. Ives. We assume tba- Judge Doan will be no more cousid.. crate of the desires and wishes of -ba people of COchise and Graham conn 'les n the matter of where the United states court shall be held than he has been Of the desires and wishes of GiIs and Graham counties in the past If Judge Doan would agree to move the federal court to either Graham or Co ehlse county no would urge any oh Jection 10 the Ives bill, so far as Ora ham and Cochise counties are con- ceTnd, but no doubt the people of GiIa county would protest strenuousIv against being sent to federal court at Phoenix, much greater inconvenj- ence than to attend this court a+ Flor e1ce. which is very great. Ii occDrs to us that it would be a convenient arrangement to put Pima. Pinal and Yuma in one district. Gila. Graham Cochise and Santa Cruz for another district; Maricopa and Yavapai in one district and the four extreme northern counties in the fourth and last dis tr1ct The representatives of Ora ham and Cochise counties should see 10 t that the second judicial district is not made up of the counties sug- gested by Mr. Ives.

when applied to Arizona But when the consummation of our desires re garding statehood, calls for the giving aw9y of our birthright, losing our iden- tity, and becoming a subject, as it were, of the New Mexicans by any such unholy alliance. is going beyond human endurance. It is true that the new consolidated state would be re publican, but this would not necessar- fly be the most serious objection. New Mexico with it's larger population would absolutely dominate the new State. Arizona. virtually, would still remain a territory, looking to New Mexico for aid instead of the national government. The state appropriations would be expended in New Mexico not in Arizona; the state capital would
 remain at Santa Fe not al Phoenix: the main at Santa Fe. not at Phoenix; the judiciary would be composed Of New Mexican lawyers. not Arizonans; the Sldlt tOASllIul-Ou NOull Be dNOplSO by New Mexico and Arizona proper would find herself sadly in the minor ity in every convention whether it was political or constitutional
 Arizona has nothing to gain by an alliance with New Mexico but all to lose Statehood is not so dear that Arizona will consent to the sale of her independence and the laws of her identity and history. of which we have occasion to feel proud, in order to gain. Great harm is being done by 3 seeming countenance CT any compro. mise measure al this time. The omni,
 bus bill is still before the senate and there must be no weakening at this end in the fight Arizona has no com. promise 70 offer. We are standing on
 our merits, possessing the necessary i population and the necessary taxable wealth. demanding that the solemn pleSges made in the national platform of both parties be fulfilled.

DOUGLAS AND AROUND
 BEGINNING TO WARM UP

There was a suggestion of the trop- ical in Douglas last Thursday, but she was out in her best Sunday clothes just the same. They have a suburban car line now The equip ment consisted of two comfortable open trolley cars, and the cunningest little engine on the turf. It looks like a piano box with windows in it., but it gets there about supper time just the same.
 The funniest thing we saw, and one that illustrates the scarcity of power on our overworked roads, was Naco- zari engine with it's tender on an E. P. & s. w. fiat car. Oh, there are some great combinations on that road.
 The building outlook in Douglas is astonishing. The number and sub stantial character of the buildings erected or in course of construction would do credit to the leading cities of the territory.
 The big company store is nearing completion and will be one of the largest and finest in the territory It is put up 10 stand a thousand years. The Brophy bank building is a hand some combination of tufa anu brick.
 The Mcguire building is just start ing of across the street east of the SuIlman corner. MT. Kline has com, pleted a business building near the International hotel, it has a tufa front and a 'dobe posterior, 9 sort of a cross between a cathedral and a warehouse.
 It is with pleasure we observed the great prosperity which our sister city is enjoying and hope when We return again her wealth and population will have doubled

QUAY MAY COMPROMISE

Under the above caption the TucsCl Star has joined forces with the Pres colt Journal Miner in it's advocacy of the consolidation Of Arizona and New Mexico, and their admission into the union as one state. The exact att:- tude of the Star towards statehood has been, and is yet, in the dark Speak ing of the proposed compromise. the Star has the following in its issue oi Wednesday morning:
 Better have a republican state than a democratic territory. Or course those who expect to be elected sena tors for Arizona, will oppose the con solidation. to which add those hoping for official recognition under the new state. Their disappointment is oi little concern 70 the people and car result in no harm"
 The above paragraph is preceded by the statement that in the event O the consolidation with New Mexict one of the republican senators woul be Colonel Andrews of New Mexico whom the Star says is man of marl ed ability and would be strong in 6. curing appropriations for the ne, state.
 Better have a republican state tha a democratic territory" is sound logi

No Answer From the Powers.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The responses
of the allied powers to Castro's last
proposition to submit Venezuelas case
to the arbitration of The Hague tri-
bunal have not yet been received, but
it is believed that the answers will
not be much longer delayed, as 4
continuance of the present state OF
affairs on the Venezuelan coast is not
viewed with satisfaction here. The
blockade is understood to be working
injury to American interests, there
fore the desire is strong to see the
protocol, which will include pro-
vision fer termination of the block
ade, speedily agreed upon. Mr.. Bow
ems advices show that conditions
there are very much disturbed;
that internal revolutionary troubles
have intensified and that President
Castro is sorely beset.

to the effect that the fatal shot must
have been fired by some one who was
close to the sleeping man. Mrs. Lille
had told witness that Mr.. Lille car
ried S7250 insurance in her favor.
Mrs. Lille also had said that she was
uneasy the evening before the murder
because she had much money in the
house. although she usually had 800
to $3.50 in the house. and gave as an
other reason the fact that two Of the
bloodhounds owned by her husband
had been poisoned.

this place. on account of whose resig-
nation the president ordered the post
office here closed, left Indianola last
night for Birmingham, Ala, accompa.
MED by her mulatto assistant. 1t is
now thought there is little danger OF
further trouble, and although the
sentiment of the people is against the
action of the government in closing
the office and causing a partial paral-
ysis of business, no violence is antici-
pated. Before she left Mrs. Cox made
a statement, in which she denied that
she had been subjected to any indig-
nifty. and stated that no violence had
been offered her. She said, however,
that she would not again take the Of
flee OF postmaster under any circum-
stances. Her husband, who is en-
ployed in the United States railway
mail service. also made a statement,
in which he said his wife had not been
threatened, but that the condition of
the race question in the south caused
her to give up the place.

Rebel Army Reported Marching On
the Capital.
Berlin, Jan. 6.-Grcat Britain and
Germany came to an understanding
four days ago to enforce the blockade
of the Venezuelan coast, precisely as
though the negotiations for arbitration
were not going on. 1t was doubtless
in consequence of this understanding
that the vessels landed marines at
Puerto Cabello, though both the for
eign office and navy department are
yet without advices showing that Ven
ezuelan vessels were taken or marines
landed.
Commodore Schroeder telegraphs
that the Germans on Saturday seized
number of large Venezuelan sailing
vessels at Puerto Cabello. The prizes
were towed to Los Roques, where they
remain under guard. Otherwise there
have been no developments at Puerto
Cabello.
