STATEHOOD NEXT CONGRESS
rlark Smith Speculates As to the
 Probable Outcome

Delegate M. A. Smith in a letter published by the Arizona Citizen says:
 "But what about the next congress? There's the rub. The next congress, under Cannon 's leadership, will rush through joint statehood bill, and | the admi iniStration forces, With the long session to work in, may tire out or whip out the democratic minority; but we may at least hope that no bill can pass the senate without giving us the right to a separate vote on the adoption of the constitution. l dread the long, hard fight, and dreading 1t as do, am already getting prepared to make it.
 "The president is, and always has been, strong friend to the joint statehood scheme, aud is the most avowed and potential enemy of our cause. He told Rodey he would veto the separate state bill for New Mexico if it came to him as 1t had passed the senate, aud showed, am told, some temper discussing the matter. By | what right Gov. Brodie in the last campaign represented to the people that the president was not in favor of the house joint state bill, it is i'm. possible to discover, for his strong in terest in that measure is known to all men here, aud do not hesitate to say that with his opposition out of our way, we could get separate statehood within the next Swo years. l deplore the presidents attitude against the true interest of ArlzDna aud New Mexico. Why he wishes to visit this awful wrong on us, aud in the face of our universal protest, is as inexplic- a ble as it Is inexcusable and defense less.
 "The outlook for us is not inviting. Nothing can save us henceforth ex- cept the democratic party in the senate of the United States. Our only hope lies where It has always aoldeo, with this handful of patriotic aud just men, who believe in local self government and the equal rights of men. l am writing in no partisan spirit. No man exceeds me in admi. ration of those brave and true repub icans in the senate who stood 80 staunchly by the right and treated with equal contempt the threat of party discipline and the blandish. ments of party promises. Long may the hohored names of Foraker, Gal finger, Hansorough, and those other republicans who helped in the hour of our greatest peril be treasured and reyered by the people of Arizona.

can be taken from the earth, the in- vestment Tn mining is certain to secure greater returns. For it is not, as Tn commerce, case of profit arising from what you can get by passing wealth or produce from one pair of hands to some other; it is case of wealth de novo. Mining and farming are the two industries that really increase the sum total of new wealth, and the former in a manner more easily appreciated than the latter" This very sensible state ment of the nature of mining invest ments the Mining World says. is backed by statistics showing that the total metal production of the United States amounts to much more thau $500, 900, 900 per annum.

THE GOVERNOR AND Ills JOINT
 STATEHOOD ELECTION

We sincerely hope that the legisla- lature will not act upon Governor Kib- bey's advice to hold special election for ;the purpose of obtaining an ex- pression from the voters of Arizona on the question of joint or single atate- hood. In view of the fact that the people of the territory have repeatedly given expression to their uualterable opposition to jointure with New Mex ico, by protests to congress, through resolutions adopted by public meetings, boards of supervisors and commercial bodies, and through an outspoken press, it is apparent that the sentiment against joint statehood in Arizona is practically unanimous.
 Furthermore, congress and the country at large have been so well ap- prised of this sentiment of our people that no further expression at this time would seem necessary. An election such as has been suggested would be an expensive as well as an absurd pro- position. Is it possible that Governor kibbey, with the zeal of new ap. pointee to federal job, hopes by holding an election, to create divi- sion of opinion on the statehood ques- ton that could be used by Czar Can non and young Senator Beveridge against us in the next congress?
 We would hesitate to impute such a motive to the governor, but A federal officeholder is very apt to favor admin istration policies.

THE LE0lSLATURE

The session of the Twenty-third legislative assembly will expire by limitation at midnight Friday, March IF. We had hoped to present a re- view of what has been accomplished in the way of legislation up to noon today, but owing to telegrsphic communiea- ton being interrupted most of the time during the past forty-eight hours, oar Phoenix correspondent has been unable to reach us. However we are indebted to President Hunt of the council for several short messages which indicate the course of events and give some encouragement to those who hope that the result of the ses- sion work will not be disastrous to the financial interests of the territory.
 In the council six or seven honor able and earnest members, among the foremost of whom is President Hunt, are making valiant and apparently successful fight against the grafters and treasury looters. The circuit court bill, an unwarrauted measure, that had it passed, would have cost the several counties of the territory thousands of dollars annually, was defeated by tie vote. The reductions made by the council in the appropriation bills, if finally effected, will save the territory nearly one hundred thousand dollars, although the fight for economy was not yet won, as Roemer of Cochise and others of his class, whose prodigality in spending the territory's money knows no limit, were making desperate efforts to have the appropriations cut ont by the council restored If the territory is not financially swamped by this legislature i. will be saved by the efforts of the few able and honest mem bers of the council.
 Very little legislation of general in | terest and importance has been en- acted or is likely to be in the few hours of life remaining to the session. which will not be regretted by those most interested in Arizona's welfare. |
 The Twenty third legislature ap- pears to have been no better than many | of it's predecessors, and we hope no worse.

For four days there has been four column advertisement running in the Review for the Globe X Arizona De- velopment company of Globe, which speaks for itself It is only fair to say that the simple fact of She Copper Queen people seeming control of the old Dominion and United Globe prop. critics, eXpending millions of money in the mine and in the new shelter and concentrator, which are now produc' ing over 10000 pounds of blister copper per month, and are already in creasing the capacity of the smelteI to point that will insure a yearly output of 30,OOO,OO0 to 35,00O,00t pounds, is an endorsement of the Globe district that is far and away above the reports of all the experts that eyer saw that country.
 The Globe & Arizona property is located on the great mineral zone oI the Globe district, and joins the Old Dominion properties. From the may it can be said that they have splendid chance for a good mine.
 The people who are putting Globe &ArizOna forward have the highest recommendations from Substan tiaI Globe mining and business men. The latter are unit in expressing conf dence in the integrity of the Globe Arizona folks and in expressing con tidence in the ground they are putting forward.
 Mir. Saint, who has been in the city during the week putting the stock of the Globe Arizona on the market, has met with much encuuragement. Peo- pie in the city who are acquainted with the Globe district have already taken up a considerable block of the stock issue that has been made, and more will doubtless be placed here du ring the next week, by which time many who have investment in view will have had time to investigate the proposition to the extent they desire before putting their cash into the ven ture.-Bisbee Review.

NOT FRENZlED A BIT

The so-called Standard Oil Bank of New York has perpetrated piece of tinanclering that does not present any aspect of frenzy. 1t seems to have been wholly sane. The facts are these, says the Boston Journal.
 The government sold to the bank a certain site in the metropolis for &, 265, ,000. On this the bank paid S50,- 900, retaining the rest to add to tue government deposits ordinarily carried. It had the use of this large sum, and there is no supposition that the money lay idle. But the government still needed quarters until the completion of its custom honse, and had to rent from the bank. Sl30, 600 year being the price. This arrangement, it was assumed, would last ten years. In this time the government would have paid Sl, ,306, 0OU rent, and the use of the governments money would at ordinary interest have netted Sl ,2S6, GOO, total of S2, 1892, 900. There must be added to this s750,0OO saved by the refusal of the bank to pay taxes, it advancing the excuse that the title of the prop erty rested in the government, grand total of 1912. 900. From this is to be subtracted the $500 really paid by the bank. A little simple arithme- tic then shows that institution not only exacting from the government the whole price it was supposed to pay the government, but forcing the gov ernment, to add clear profit of Sl27,- 900.
 If there is any frenzy in this it was not on the part of the bankers. An explanation from Secretary Gage would be studied with respectful attention.

COST OF THE NAVY

The president asked the navy de- pertinent to estimate the annual cost of maintaining the naval establishment when the vessels now under construc. tion are completed. The figure given is S77, ,000,000 That, of course, makes no allowance whatever for the appro- priations for new construction. We have seen it stated that the expense of running first class battleship like the Maine for ye.r was about $550. .000, that including the pay of the officers and men and the cost of provisions and supplies, including coal.
 While these figures include slight re- pairs and also the allowance for prac- tice ammunition, they do not cover such general overhaulings as are given to our ships from time to time Nor is there any depreciation figured, and yet warships do deteriorate very rap idly. Vessels that were considered first class only few years ago are now quite out of date, so great has been the advance in the power and tonnage of ships, the fighting efficiency of their armament and the resistance of their armor.

In very interesting article Tn The World Today, by Henry F. Cope, the
 legitimacy of mining investments is very strongly argued. The writer ex- plains how the day of the prospectoI and bonanza seeker has passed away and in their stead has come the large concerns which are doing the real min. ing of the west today. Concerning the mining investment he says; "Outside of the market manipulations of the stock investment in the larger mining companies of the west is as conserya. tive and safe proposition as invest
