ACCEPT AND DIVIDE.

VIII pdSn db tue dpplOdCulHB 5cpSlOH of congress. The idea of the Post is that the intention of congress is to say in substance to the people of Arizona by passing the enabling act: Here is your opportunity to get into the union. It is up to you to come in or stay out"
 That is what THE OASIS has al- ways claimed. There is no doubt that the temper of the people Of the east is against admission of the two territories as separate states, with their present population. Among other issues before the Ann erican people in the recent election was this very one of joint state- hood, and the overwhelming popu- lar verdict is against separate
 tatehood, for which the democ a- tic platform openly declared. The republic Ii platform was silent, but the republican house of representa- tives had passed the bill for conso- lilation of the two territories into a single state, and that made the bill the party policy. By increas- ing the republican majority in the house from less than fifty to more than one hundred the people of the United States have set their seal of approval upon all the policies of the republican party, joint state- hood among them. Why not ac- cept the inevitable and make the most of 1t?
 It will be at least a quarter of . century before either territory will be separately admitted to state hood; and 1t may be half century. As the great states of the east con- tinued to increase in population the more averse will they become to admission of any more states with population sufficient only to entltle them to single congress- man each, and they will be advan- cing the standard of population, necessary for admission, which will serve to extend by many years the time when admission separate ly will be possible. But there is nothing to prevent division of a state that has secured admission. United into a single state, with two senators and two congressman working for the measure, Arizona and New Mexico can secure divi- sion and erection into two separate states many long years before they can secure separate admission from a territorial condition. In order to secure votes of the Arizona sen- ators and representatives for their own pet schemes, those in the house and senate from other states would vote for bill dividing the state out of the counties now com- prising New Mexico, when they would not vote for separate admls- sion of the two territories. With two votes in the senate and two in the house, Arizona would have a great leverage in trading votes for

The Worlds New Ships.

According to the annual report Of Lloyds Register, the total number of vessels, exclusive of warships, launch . ed in Great Britain during the past year was 679, of 1,19O,61S gross tons. Of these 632 were steamers. Elsewhere 549 steamers of 79S,2S5 tons and 4O4 sailing vessels of 156,SO8 tons were launched, in addition to 7S war vessels of 239,21O tons displacement. The new tonnage in the United States was 3S2,- coo, in Germany 1SLCC0 and in France 93, OOO.
 In Great Britain the sailing tonnage decreased by about 92,OOO tons, while the steam tonnage increased by 497, 900. Of the tonnage launched in Great Brit ain 99% per cent was steel. A feature of the French ship-building is the abandonment of the construction of large sailing vessels.
 The wreck returns for the year show that the tonnage of all nationalities totally lost, broken up, etc, amounts to about TABOO tons, of which 419O00 was steam tonnage. The net increase of the worlds mercantile tonage was about 1,4O2O GOO tons.

Just Every Day Heroism.

It is SO much more spectacular to risk sudden death in the sight of the multitude that the word "hero" is not generally applied to the men and women who perform acts of fnconspic- uous bravery. For this reason it is probable that the average newspaper reader gave but passing attention to the brief dispatch from New York which related that a number Of the physicians and nurses at Bellevue hos pitaI have been stricken with tubsrcu- losis.
 According to the hospital authorities. members of the staff have been greatly run down by overwork, and thus be- came peculiarly susceptible to the dread disease. Negligence on the part of the tuberculosis patients, they say is the direct cause. Persons in that ward should, under the regulations expectorate in receptacles provided for such use, but the doctors say when ever an attendants back is turned the patients spit on the floor and thus gen crate germs which are certain to spread the disease if inhaled by per sons in the least run down physically
 Physicians and trained nurses every where recognize that constant danger attaches to their attendance upon con- sumptive patients, and every year large numbers are added t5 the list of these martyrs in the medical and nursing professions. But nobody ever heard of a doctor refusing to lend his services on that account. And nobody ever heard of a doctor refusing to min ister to a case of indignantly contag- ious disease of any kind. Their qureu and transformations heroism is taken as a matter of course by the public.

The Convention Should Instruct for
 Hearst.

Tha democrats of Maricopa county will meet in convention today, to elect delegaI Ies to the territorial convention at Tucson. The delegates to Tucson will participate in the work of selecting delegates to the national democratic convention at St. Louis. IL has been confidently expected that the county convention today would instruct the delegation to Tucson to use all honor able means to secure an instructed delegation for MT. William Randolph Hearst. The indications were last night. however, that the convention today would not favor instructions for Hearst.
 We hasten to protest against this turn of affairs. Is Mir. Hearst to be buncoed here and at Tucson as he has in numerous states Of late?
 We fear that such is to be the case. With painful regularity, states which were counted surely for Hearst have held their conventions. and instead O. instructing their delegates to St. Louis for the peerless Californian-New Yorker, have adopted, merely, resolu- tions commenting young MT. Hearst us an able democrat" 'sterllng democrat" the "arch enemy Cf the trusts" and so on. In other words, instead of getting instructed dele gates. as he had a right to expect, MT. Hearst has been getting large chunks of hot air. The first indicat ton of a purpose to give Mir. Hearst the same bunco treatment in Arizona was the gleeful announcement made by his chief journalistic boomer that all would be harmony at Tucson; that the Hon. Marcus Aurelius Smith and other leading democrats opposed to Hearst had consented that modified instruc- tlons might be given. That is, it was explained, the delegates to St. Louis might be instructed to vote for MT. Hearst provided there was a chance for his nomination when they got fhere What show will MT. Hearst have if all the delegates to St. Louis hnvc such a string tied to their in sisuCtions? He has a right to expect something better of Arizona. What Kind of treatment is this to receive for and in consideration of a generous be- stowal of expense money?"
 The lawyers have phrase, "caveat e,nptcr," which they sometimes quote, and which means, Let the buyer be- waFe." But who in all Arizona's do mains warned MT. Hearst to beware? He had a right to suppose that he was dealing with friends when the local DoEges assured him that they would deliver the goods.

sign his position or probate judge of Cochise county the county supervisors, being democrats, would appoint a fem ccrat to succeed him! The people of the territory will have no patience with such an excuse. MT. O'Brien is TO doubt a capable probate judge, and 1t is evidence Of his poularity that re was elected in a strongly democratic county, but after all. the personal phase of the subject does not interest thu public.
 It is desirable, of course, that the county offices at Tombstone shall re filled by republicans, if possible, but the situation does not present an in- superable difficulty for the territorial administration. There gre 1!3,GOO square miles and 72 million ec-es in Arizona, and surely, in all these trcad acres some other republican c5ud te found who would be competent to fiji the office at Benson, and thereby per- init the office of probate judge at Tombstone to continue il.

But would the same catastrophe at tend his resignation oC the office at Benson?

4 Possible Solution of the Difficulty
 at Benson.

Acknowledgement is made of an in visRtion from Superintendent O'Brien os the reformatory at Benson, suggest Ing that a member of The Republican etsf be sent to examine that institu- ton and report whether it is properly conducted.
 T. 9s not necessary for us to go to that trouble. It Is manifest that so long as Superintendent O'Bricn dis charges also the duties of his office of probate judge of Cochise county and divides his time between Benson and Tombstone. towns 29 miles apart he cannot give the Benson industrial school the attention which the law intends he ehall give. There is not another office In the territory which calls for more constant vigilance and more competent management than the Benson institu- tion. It is net enough that the in mates are properly guarded and that none Of them get away. The indus trial school is intended 10 be a reforma- tery in the truest sense, and if Super tntHadent O'Prien possesses talents for reforming juvenile offenders he cannot So his duty by his charges when his ErTVices are available cnly part of the time.
 Hut the mere fact that he is willing to be absent from his post of duty part Uf the time argues, we fear, that he does >Eo' take the interest in his work which he should. The executive head of a feformato"y institution should have a natural liking and aptitude for the work, and If he have these qualities hs is not likely to absent himself from his duties voluntarily. Proper. zeal in le0king after the welfare of the way wasa children placed In his charge ~osid cause him to remain on duty every day, one would think.
 The only excuse advanced-so far as NC have ncted-for the extraordinary situation at Benson is that MT. O'Brien Is republican, and if he were to re-

On Eating Too Much.

Professor Chittenden of the Sheffield scientific school of Yale cortiauee to preach with vigor lis do.trira that people eat too much. Tn q paper read before the National academy uf Sci ences at Washington lasl week, the professor made the assertion that the average healthy man eats from two to three times as m1cn as he needs to keep him in perfect phycm Il and men tai health.
 Professor Chittend4n said u,ee classes cf men were eXpcrhneutcd cn several professors et tho s,lco!, :r- cluding Pr lessor Chie.ande himsdf: several students and squad of United States soldiers. There was gradual reduction of meat and ether proteid foods. with little if any increase in starch and other foods, in nearly all the tests. No fixed regimen was rcquir- ed in any case, the endeavor being to satisfy the appetite of each subject. In only one case was the meat entirely eliminated from the diet. At the end Of the experiment, which lasted nearly a year and were concluded only a few days ago, the entire lot of men who had been Professor Chittenden's sub jects were in the best of health. Their weight in some cases was almost ex- sctly the same as when the experi- ments were begun. and in some slight ly lower Their bodily vigo- was greater and their strength was much greater, partially owing to their regu- lar physical exercises, and partially owing Professor Crittendeu believes, tc the smaller amount of food eaten.
