.a et the Arizonians Alone."

Finder the title of Let the Arizon- ians Alone" the Hartford Courant' staunch republican newspaper, ana one situated in a locality in which lN is supposed that there is constant effort to minimize the number or sage hr,ssh senators, has the following. OH the joint statehood question:
 .sNFr Fowler of Phoenix is in Wash ineton. and has been talking to Washington Post reporter. Hes the man whom the Arizona republicans ran for delegate this year against the invincible Mark Smith, and he came within a few hundred votes of smash ing the invincibility tradition. He tells the reporter:
 '''The people of Arizona are VltalIy terested in the bill before congress combining it and New Mexico into a single state I do not believe that II IS exaggeration to say that 95 per cent of the population of our territory are bitterly opposed to statehood if 1t can be had only by this union l have never heard a man in Arizona say he favored it. As far as New Mexico IS concerned. there may be bare ma jority of it's citizens who indorse the bill. but a large element are as hostile as we are in Arizona
 "This tallies with all the other infor- nation that has come to us on the subject. and the wishes of the people out there should be conclusive with congress What would be the sense of forcibly joining two territories each much larger than the largest of the older states on this side of the ississippi-against their will or the will of either of them? MT. Quay is dead and buried. The surviving Penn sylvanians who have interests in Arizona can wait, and they should be made to wait"

The Washington newspaper men think they know that Major Edwin H. Conger. now of Pekin, is slated for the embassy in the City of Mexico when General Clayton quits it next spring. After his ten years of diplo- matizing in South America and China, the major should be equal to the bus1- ness requirements of the position. Whether he will measure up to the Mexican Herald's rather exacting standards as regards ambassadorial stature, looks and manners is another question.

The Humbert Case in Detail.

Circumstances in the inner circles of high finance in Cleveland, Pittsburg and elsewhere revive interest in the famous Humbert case in France. Ev- erybody recalls it in general but de- tails are of interest just now. A sketch of the episode was published in 1902 in England, written by T. P. O'Connor.
 From this it seems that the Ma6arIa Humbert, who cut such a swath, was of the humbIest birth, but full of am bition and deviltry. At the age of 13 she had committed forgery. Her name was Therese Daurignac. One of her early games was when her engage men was announced (by herselD to q rich young man in another town. She did not want to marry him. but vas accepting what was decreed. To meet the situation suitably she had to have a fine rousseau. The rich young man in prospect was sufficient excuse for giving her credit. So she got every thing she wanted; and then, alas. the engagement was broken, but she kept the outfit and never paid for it.
 In February she married Frederic Humbert, a son of M. Humbert, who became miuister of public justice. Be- tween then and her acquisition so cas- fly of a fine wardrobe. she had perpe- trated numerous swindles. laughing at the swindled in the way that some people can do and others cannot. Af- fairs were now ripening for her grand coup. The story on which her great frauds were based was this: In 1877 she saw a rich American, Robert Crawford, taken suddenly dreadfully sick while alone in a first class rail- way carriage. Leaping from the third class carriage where she was travel ing, she made her way to him and cared for him. In his gratitude he left her by will all his property which was about s2O,0OO, ,OOO. That was her for tune.
 But, if she had it out-and- out, she would have to show it. She had no Fri Reynolds to hold it for her in a sealed packet. So it came about that two nephews of the departed Crawford turned up and brought a new will. Did he disinherit her in that? Not much. He made three parts of his vast prop erty and gave her a third. She ob- jected The nephews insisted. Liti- gation followed, and all hands signed an agreement that the entire estate should lie sealed up in safe until the litigation ended. The agreements were cleverly drawn and demonstrated to the satisfaction of smarter men than Cleveland bankers that the stuff was there.
 On the strength of that splendid pile of assets she began her coura geous and unparalleled borrowings. She fairly slung the money she got She had a grand mansion in Paris in which the coverlets were valued by experts

Let us be just even to Vardaman' given even a Vardaman his due. He has the tongue of blackguard, but some of his executive acts shame the futile ineficiency of more than one governor in the gentleman class. He has enforced the law vigorously against the mob, and reports como from Mississippi that with the help of Pinkerton men and other men hes making the ''whitecap" region of the state too hot for the cowardly, brutall night-riders.

It is good news that Paul Morton has consented to stay on at the navy department after March 4-probaoIy not for the whole quadrennium, but anyhow for year or two. He could make many more thousands per an mum in his old business; but his con sent is public spirited The country will have the service of an executive man of the first force, natural or ganizer and accomplisher, in depart ment where ability of that sort is greatly needed. Then, too, as long as Paul Morton remains in the cabine-, President Roosevelt will not have to go outside for a competent adviser in interstate railroad matters.

at $4OO each, the sheets at $500 a pair, and pillow eases at $50 each. There was buffet done for Diane de Poi tiers as fine as anything in the Cluny. Everything was magnificent. She had twenty-five smaller houses in Paris and a country place and a farm and vincyard Her box at the opera was that or the late Baron Hauss.s ann and s1e got it after beating the minister of Greece who was bound to have it.
 The manager of a small bank at El- beuf killed himself in despair at not being able to meet the demands pend ing the end of the lawsuits. He left a letter to his directors reciting the situation and saying that, if he lived, he was to be the sole manager of the. srand estate. She had worked that trick, too. His courage failed and he Gidn't live, but his faith lasted as long as he did. The letter said: eff live I shall have the sole management of this fortune. They will pay the last penny. I have their word for it." Her debts rolled up about 12,5O0,O00. Among the creditors were bankers merchants, brokers, lace makers and so on. The sums owed were royalty prodigal. For example, claims were for s1.4OO.OOO, $1,24O,OO0 s1,200,OOo. SS4O. 900, $64O,OOO, and so on. As far as known, she had never paid beyond s7OO, ,OOO back of all that she had bor- rowed. Eventually the sealed safe was opened and it was empty-not even Andrew Carnegie's forged sig nature in it.
