Should the senate pass the joint statehood bill the people of Arizona and New Mexico will have their fate in their own hands. If state hood per SC is the inestimable boon we all insist, it will be accepted by the people when the constitution framed under provision of the act now before the senate, is submitted for their consideration. If they prefer remaining territories they will reject the proposed constitu- ton, and that will be the end of it.. The matter will be up to the people at the election upon adoption or rejection of the constitution. And they are not going to secure state hood upon their own terms, They will have to accept it upon the terms prescribed by the states al- ready within the Union-just as Nebraska and Utah have had to do. But it will rest with the peo- pie of the joint state to accept the terms or reject them. Congress in its wisdom can impose the terms. Afterward the people of the pro- posed state will have an oppor- tunity to pass upon the terms set forth. But it will be that or nothing.

Mike 0'Msra Shot.

Late yesterday afternoon word came from Washington Camp by telephone that Mike O'Mara, sup erintendent of the Old Soldier mine had been shot and seriously wounded by a Mexican. Doctor Russel was sent over from Wash ington Camp to attend the wounded man, and Sheriff Turner started at once to run down and arrest the would be murderer,
 This morning 1t is reported that while serious the wound is not fatal. The account of the affair is that while O'Mara was sharpening a drill at the forge, the man, who had been hanging around and ask ing for work. fired at him, the wound penetrating the side wall of the abdomen, but not entering the abdominal cavity Mike siezed the red hot drill and chased his assail- ant down the hill. He went to the camp and sent John Brickwood IT,. over to Washington Camp for Doc TOT Russell
 At last accounts the wounded man was resting easily, with every prospect for recovery. All his many friends will hope for his speedy restoration to health.

offending official to a grand jury.
 There is probably no exaggera- tion in the assertion that there is not county in Arizona where county officials are not regularity selling supplies of one kind and another to the county, and con cealing their interests in the trans actions by filing the demands upon the county treasury in the name of a clerk or book keeper This practice is prevalent in town governments. When the demands are presented everybody knows that the man in whose name they are made has very slight interest in the transaction, and that the man really interested is prohibited by law from having any interest in any such tranaction, frequently sitting upon the board, passing upon the bills and voting for their payment.
 It is well that the issue has been raised in Graham county, and should have long ago been raised in some county. T h people of Arizona have a right to know whether the laws they have made to govern their public ser wants have any binding force. If there is such binding force in them to compel their observance in all the counties and severely punish any offending official who violates them. THE OASIS fails to see why a careless cowboy who gets tangled up in his knowledge of brands should be made to suffer for one legislative enactment, and at the same time a banker or a merchant in public office can continually and regularly and increasingly violate other legislative enactments de- signed to protect all the people. while the law the cowboy violates was enacted for protection of part of the people only If the act now k in g enforcement in Graham county cannot be enforced then it should be repealed. It is folly to burden the statute book with useless laws. Hence the out come of the indictment of Chair man Caruthers of the Graham county board, and his trial by a Graham county jury, will be ob- served with the keenest interest all over Arizona. If Mir. Caruthers is acquitted repeal the law If he is convicted, town and county officials all over the territory should begin putting themselves within the pale of the law by ob serving its provisions.

4 TEST CASE.

MUcH interest is manifested throughout the territory in the in- dictment and trial of Eugene Caruthers, chairman of the board of supervisors in Graham county, for violation of the law, which for bids any territorial, county, city, of town official having any in- terest, direct or indirect, in any contract with the territory, county city or town, in any sale of mer- chandise or property thereto, or in the purchase of any of the pro- perty thereof. The prohibitory en- actment has been always upon the statute book, yet it is probable thao there is hardly county or town in the territory where the law has not been violated.
 In the case in Graham county it is charged that the county bought from Charles Solomon a parcel ot land for a poor farm, which in reality was the property of Caruthers. and had been con veyed by him to Solomon in order to conceal the interest of Caruthers in the transaction with the county and thet Caruthers was the real beneficiary of the transaction that when the transaction was undertaken and completed Caruth- CTS was chairman of the board of supervisors, and holding that position the sale of his property to the county through Solomon, was an indirect interest in a business transaction with the county, such as is contemplated by the law prohibiting any county official hay ing any interest, either direct or indirect in any such transaction.
 As hereinbefore asserted, there is probably not county in the territory where such violations of the law are not continually taking place. In one county the presi- dent of one of the leading banks was chairman of the board of supervisors, and his bank dis counted county paper To ease his conscience the chairman of the board refrained from voting when warrants presented by his bank were ordered paid. But easing his own conscience in that way did not satisfy the law although it doubtless did satisfy a com plaisant district attorney. who had never the sand" and courage to perform his duty and present the

NO NEED TO WORRY.

There seems to be considerable unnecessary heat in both Arizona and New Mexico over the joint statehood bill as it has passed. To all disposed to be severe in critic ism THE OASIS would suggest that the time has long since passed in which commonwealths were urged to come into the United States upon terms of their own making. In order to induce some of the original thirteen states to enter the Union there were put into the Con- stitution a number of compromises which afterward proved very troublesome and irritating in the machinery of government. Among them, for instance, was the provis- ion that those held for labor in any state escaping to another should be returned, and the provision re- cognizing the African slave trade by putting it's abolition twenty years away. There was already arising in the new republic senti- ment against slavery; but those favoring its extinction had to con cede those two points to the slave holders or shut oIt from the Union six of the thirteen states, which would have been fatal to the plan proposed. And long thereafter the slave power forced admission of states that failed to meet the re- quirements that had been accepted as necessary. Then when the country was in the throes of civil war-a war precipitated by the slave power-the other side pro- duced one or two half ripened states. Even then there were put upon the new states restrictions and limitations which seemed hard, and doubtless were hard ; but they had to go if the people wanted statehood. For instance Nebraska was compelled to accept negro suffrage before the fifteenth amendment extended the iran chise to the negroes through out the country. Upon the initia- tive of Senator Charles Sumner the people of Nebraska were called to accept a provision in their con- stitution conferring suffrage upon the negroes Had they preferred a territorial form of government to statehood with the negro a citizen, all they had to do was vote down the proposition when presented at the polls. There were many who did prefer remaining a territory, and they so voted; but the proposi- tion carried

following account Of ner cure from dis.

"For five years of aud on I was
treated in vain by different doctors for
relief from q stomach trouble which
showed itself in frequent aud trying
spells Of vomiting. Part Of the time I
was able to work and again I7would bs
confined to bed for three or four days in
succession.
my stomach was at times 80 delicate
that it would not retain even plain water.
The spells would sometimes occur at in.
tervals of half an hour, and would leave
me so weak that I would be compelled
to lie down between them. would
have several Of them during the night
following day of such attacks. Finally
I became 10 weakened that I had to give
up working altogether. I weighed only
ninety-four pounds.
"Last January I read about DR.. vii.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale Reople in one
of the Chicago daily papers and bought
q box and began to use them. After I
had used half q box I found that I could
keep on my stomach the food ai3. I
was encouraged by this and kept on
using the pills for four months. At tho
end of that time the vomiting spells had
ceased altogether and my weight went
up to 142 pounds and is still growing.
