the democratic party of Arizona. More over, the resolution bears the stamp of Delegate elect Wilson's approval. The democratic senators at Washington, pressed and harassed by the democracy of New Mexico and Oklahoma to ac- cept joint statehood as a compromise, will naturally make no further objec tion upon being officially informed that the democratic party of Arizona sup ports the same scheme. Heretofore, our senatorial friends have insisted that joint statehood must mean separ- ate statehood when Arizona attains a population of 100000, and have insisted that q yearly census must be taken to keep track of the growth of population. But if democrats learn that the demo- cratic legislature of this territory does not stand for these provisions, and re- quires, merely, that the constitution shall be approved by the territories
 
 separately, will they insist further upon any provision for dividing the state? With Delegate Wilson support irg this resolution as the only proviso contended for by Arizona, will demo- cratic senators urge anything more re- strictive? Does any sane man believe they will?
 As matter of fact, republican and democratic senators alike will consider the resolution as, a feeble attempt on the part of Arizona to let herself down easy after her long and persistent cam paign for separate statehood, and will accept the voice of the legislature as conclusive that the people of this ter ri:ory are ready to accept statehood with New Mexico for all time and un- der practically no restrictions.
 At this writing, it appears reasonably certain that an extra session of the Fl1Iy-elSnln congress VIII De ca1iSu to convene on the 5th day of March next Thursday. Whether it will be necessary to call the house in extra session also, depends upon the passag ge of the appropriation bills. But in any event the advocates ot statehood for New Mexico and Oklahoma will at once begin a campaign in the new sen ate. and all the preliminary work will be done toward pressing an enabling act as soon as congress meets in De- cember. Irretrievable injury may be done to this territory if the house adopts the resolution and if Delegate Wilson-who will be our delegate from and after noon of next Wednesday, shall be considered as representing the views of Arizona on the statehood Ques stion.

CUR E ENT
 COMM ENT
Political Changes ill England.

The Irish land question, which has been the source of so much political agitation in the United Kingdom, is just now passing through an interesting phase in its history. It looks as if 1t were about to produce new align ment of political parties. The Irish na- tionalists in the house of commons have suddenly changed front. They have abandoned their past aggressive and uncompTomising opposition to the gov ernment and are manifesting the most friendly disposition. On the other hand a marked defection seems to be in progress from the ranks of the union- ists.
 These changes have been conspicu- ously in evidence in the debate in reply
 to the kings address. Eighteen of the
 unionists voted squarely for the vote censuring the war secretary and con-
 demning his army organization scheme. Others held aloof from voting The bond which was formed between the liberal unionists and the conservatives
 when Gladstone introduced his home
 rule measure looks at present as if it were on the eve of breaking. There ls | evidently tremendous strain upon Y, | and the unionist leader-Chamberlaln | is absent, and, therefore, powerless to
 prevent a rupture if he desires to pre-
 serve the ist-conservative rela-
 tionship intact.
 The attitude Of the nationalists on
 the amendment to the reply to the ad- dress censuving Brodricl has not been
 reported. The presumption is that they 1 either refrained from voting or joined | the government benches. But when the
 refer ence to the Irish land question
 was reached John Redmond, the na- | tionalist leader in parliament, offered i a harmless amendment (which was
 subsequently, withdrawn by him), the 1 sole purpose of which seemed to be to give him an opportunity to deliver the
 most friendly speech to the government
 which has probably ever been heard ! from an Irishman in the house of com-
 mons, and to give Balfour a chance also
 to evirce his friendly disposition toward | Ireland and the settlement of it's agrar-
 ian troubles The unionists were oni- i inously silent.
 This situation has been brought about 1 by a conference between the Duke Of 1 Abercorn and other influential Irish | land owners, representing the Irish | landlords, and the nationalist leaders,
 at which a plan of settlement of the land question, satisfactory to both sides was reached Under the arrangement agreed upon, the tenant farmers in Ire land will be privileged to buy the land | they occupy at a price which will be | fair compensa tion to the present own i CTS The government is to assist the | tenants to purchase by free grants az Sregating S11O, 1000, GOO and the loan of
 $500, 100000 more. It is understood that
 the government favors the scheme, if
 the chancellor Of the exchequer, Wynd-
 ham, can devise q means of raising the
 money. It is surmised that the union
 ists will oppose the proposition be-
 cause they must share in the new bur-
 den it will impose. The government is,
 therefore, apparently relying upon na-
 toinalist support whenever the unionist
 break takes place.-San Francisco ! Chronicle.

Why Authors Degenerate.

A recent dispatch from London may
 partly explain why so many contem
 porary authors get to producing the
 veriest stuff" almost as soon as they
 have gained Q little reputation, and
 quickly lose their hold on the favor of
 the public and publishers. Constance
 Smedley is at present the most sue
 cessful young writer in England. Al though she is but 9 years old, her works are having an extraordinary sale. In consequence, almost every
 publisher in London is praying her to write something for him to print so that he may share in the popularity
 and profits her books are bringing to hous4s that issue them, and Miss Smed- ley it is said. finds it impossible to supply the demand for the produce of her pen.
 It does not require much prescience to foresee what effect this extra ary condition of affairs will proba bly, have on Miss Smedleys writings. Un i less sine possesses a strength of mind and character such as is allotted to few mortals. literary and otherwise,
 sine will attempt to satisfy the demands of the publishers. She will have dreams | make them come true by working fast
 CT or longer hours than heretofore. But
 the capacities of the human body and
 mind are limited. The greatest genius 1 can do no more than d certain amount 1 of high class work in q given time Ii
 he attempts; to do more. the quality of
 his work will degenerate, or nature will

 writers of fiction. the former result seems commonest. The powers of an | individual ought to increase and, con sequently, the quality of his work i'm prove with the passage of time and the acquisition of experience. Yet there is hardly a single novelist among the many who have gained celebrity in
 England and America in recent years
 whose writings have not grown rapidly
 worse instead of better Their early books, written when they were striving to obtain recognition, usually show
 some of the effects of sustained effort and frequently bear traces of the arts Of style and characterization But those written under the pressure of the pub fishers demands are almost invariably fiabby and phiegmatic or painfully gilt
 teling in style. false to nature, and de- ficient in every feature. The books of kipling, Mary Johnson, the American Winston Churchill. Booth Harrington,
 Mir Dooley, indeed of almost every contemporary English and American writer of humor CT fiction, have suf- fered the same degeneracy.
 The conclusion is forced upon us that the liberal treat tment modern publish
 CTS give promising writers does not
 tend to raise the standard of literary
 production Most authors are accus-
 toned to penury, and when one of them
 strikes it rich he is seldom able to stand prosperity It would be very dis
 agreeable for the authors. but it might be better for literature. if professional

The New Financial System for the
 Philippines.

This session of congress, notwitn- standing the great waste of time by the minority of the senate in filibusterins against the statehood bill. will be mo-
 table for very important legislation
 The Aldrich currency bill, for iliustra-
 tion, is quite certain to pass, and this,
 with the new monetary system for the
 Philippines, will make up the most sig
 nificant financial legislation since the Sherman repeal bill engaged the atten-
 ton of congress nine years ago.
 The bill providing for a Philippine financial system provides for a gold
 peso of the weight of 12.9 grains gold
 nine-tenths fine. as the unit of value
 in the Philippines. This unit will 0e exactly one-half the weight of our standard. which is 25.S grains, and,
 therefore, its intrinsic value will be fifty cents. This unit will become eff
 fective when the government In the
 Philippines shall have coined and made ready for circulation not less than five
 million of silver pesos, which together with the seventy-five million Of addi-
 tional coinage, shall be a legal tender
 in the islands except where provided
 by contract. The coinage ratio of these of the United States shall, it is pre- posed, be legal tender at the rate oi one dollar for two pesos. Provision is also made for a subsidiary silver coin kage of fifty, twenty and ten centavos, such coinage to be under the authority of the government of the Philippines and of such amounts as it may deter
 mine with the approval of the secretary
 of war. The law makes provision for
 the issue of certificates of indebted ness, limited in amount to $10000. 900,
 or twenty millions of pesos, such cer- tifcates to be used for the purpose of | maintaining the parity of silver with
 the gold standard. The Mexican dol lars and the Spanish pesos heretofore 1 used in the islands are to be receivable | for public dues at a rate to be fixed
 from time to time by the civil governor, | preference being given, however, to the | Philippine coins and certificates.
 The legal tender quality imparted to l these new Philippine silver coins is ex- | pected to insure stability of the cur rency, which will also be aided by the | provision for maintaining parity, and | likewise by the limitation of the peso
 coinage to eighty millions, exclusive of the subsidiary coinage, the volume oI which is to be controlled by the gov ernment of the islands. The eighty
 millions of pesos provided by the jaw | will doubtless be ample to meet the re- | quirements of the islands, and the new pesos will in all probability gradually displace the Mexican dollars and the l Spanish pesos, which, it will be ob- served, are made receivable for public | dues at a variable rate. based upon | their bullion value, and also upon SUD-
