They conceive it to their interest to keep down the number of senators from the west and particularly the southwest; and for this reason alone has this | amalgamation scheme been concocted. l
 ''The supporters of the measure say | it is fair, becauseit leaves to tie peo pie of the proposed state the ratifica- tion by their votes of the constitution of the new state. giving them the power to reject it. The dishonesty of the claim-the subterfuge contained in it-is disclosed when it is shown that New Mexico, which is wiling enough for the smalgamatiop, has just vice as many registered voters as AriAona and would be able to absolutely con. trol any election of the character so naively proposed by Senator BeveIidge and his associates. Almost every man in Arizona would prefer to have state. hood postponed decade, two decades, or even half century, rather than be swallowed up by New MexicO-for that is what the present scheme would mean-but under the proposed plan of submission to the peopleArizona would have absolutely DO voice iE the decis- ion.
 Nothing short of giving Arizona equal voice with New Mexico would have any measure of justice. This is provided for in ID amendment proposed by Senator Forsker; and if the New Mexico. Arizona proposition is not stricken from the bill. certainly the Fozaker amendment should be adopted.
 But it would be far better to put through the Oklahoma proposition and let New Mexico and Arizona wait. In very interesting and able speech. Senator Bard, of California, champions the cause of Arizona, whose people and whose interests are well known to him through his rssi- dence in southern California, with which Arizona has close relations Senator Bard emphasizes what is ] brought out in all other responsible testimony that Arizona has sbso- lutelyInothing in common with New Mexico: that the .population is of totally different !characteI, the geo. graphical conditions make for separa- tion.s ali interests are separate and dis tinct.

PREMONITIONS

during General Grants closing cam

the year 1900, let me speak of several
striking premonition instances
Captain Z. A. Brown, of our com
pany, was a singer and belonged to
the regimental quartette One even
ing in August, 1862, he told the lead
er to find someone to take his place in
the quartette.
Why, Captain?' asked Lieutenant
Harris.
Never mind why, boys was the
answer.
Our regiment had taken position in
line of battle just after crossing An
tietam creek, the night of September
10, the night before the great battle
the day which General Longstreet
declared was the bloodiest of the war
when Captain Brown said to Marston:
Lieutenant, there will be a great
battle tomorrow. Hold yourself in
readiness to take command of the
company at a seconds notice Do not
ask why, but be ready"

pictures Of his wife and childrn, re.

Just as was approaching the point
at which the 95th was ten minutes be

GREENE ASKS ADVANCE MONEY
superintendent of Insane Asylum
Says Fee Must he Paid before
Treatment is Given.


In a recent issue OF The Bee the fact
was mentioned that the Douglas county in
sanity board had committed TO the Lin
coin asylum a young man addicted to the
drug habit. This was done under a law
PASSED by the last legislature providing for
such action In the case of persons COM
planned Of for the excessive use Of in
toxicants, drugs OF narcotics.
The law provides that SIS per month
shall be paid by the county from which
patient is sent for maintenance. In a
communication to the county commission
ers Monday morning Clerk Of Courts
Broadwell notified the board that DR..
Greene, superintendent OF the Lincoln asy-
lum, insists on having payment in advance
for three months. The commissioners de-
ferred action on the matter until they
could be advised as TO the provisions OF the
law.
Attorney Charles Elgutter, the legal
member Of the insanity board, said re-
garding the communication:
Personally, had not heard of the de-
mand OF DR.. Greene for payment in ad-
vance. II he asks that s45 be paid for
each patient sent before he shall be re-
ceived that means that the counties would
have to advance payment for three months
treatment and keep. I seriously question
II the superintendent has the right to make
any such demand under the law. We shall
take the matter up, with the county author
tiles and find out just what the rights Of
the counties are in the matter OF commit
ting these unfortunate people,"
