Gov. Kibbey, chairman of the terri torial republican committee, and E. E. Ellinwood, chairman of the democratic territorial committee, have called a meeting of their respective committees to meet in 'Phenix on the 27th of this month for the proposed merger of Ari zona and New Mexico as states, Every community in the territory is asked to send representives. to enter protest against the consolidation of the territ tories. The people of Arizona and New Mexico have nothing in common to warrant annexation and congress should heed the protest of the people in the matter. The best people of New Mexico are opposed to the deal and in this territory more than ninety per cent are opposed, and he sentiment against it is still growing. The two territories are big, populous and wealthy enough to make separate states.

Murder and Suicide.

Last Friday evening Frank Harper
 shot and instantly killed Lying JiD,
 an Indian policeman, in the Mohave
 Valley, some miles below old Fort
 Mohave. The causes leading up to the
 tragedy are stated to be as follows:
 Harper and his squaw had been having
 trouble and Pete Lambert, chief of the
 MOhave tribe, had induced the squaw to leave her husband and take up her residence in his wickeup Harper made complaint to the policeman and asked that Lam bert be arrested for alienatiDg the wlfe's affections. This the police. man refused to do and Harper was much incensed. Fe made com plaint to Superintendent McArthur, of the Indian school, and Lam bert was called in and the two men finally agreed on settlement, Harper signing a bill of sale of the squaw. The disconsolate hus band then rmed himself with a rife and went out on still hunt after Lying Jim and found hiu down in the valley gathering wood. Without a word of warning he fired, shooting him through the eye, the man dying with out struggle. Again shooting the man through the body Harper passed up the valley to within short dis tance of the Indian school. He sent a note to his sister asking her to meet him, but having heard of the killing the woman refured to meet him. The next morning Harper came into the school and gave himself up. He was placed in the guard house, where dur. ing the following night he committed suicide. The deed was done with an old rusty, broken knife, the blade be- tug less than two inches in length and so dull that it appeared to have been a physical impossibilit, to have ndone the work with it. The mans head was almost severed from his body, and he must have suffered torture while com hitting the act. The body of Harper was turned over to the Indians and Sunday it was placed on a funeral pyre and burned to ashes. Frank liar per was half breed Mohave, his fath CT being Jesse Harper, white man who had settled in the valley in the early sixties.

The big Mormon dam, about seven
 miles above St. Johns, burst with the great body of water that came down
 from the mountain last Tuesday night, and within sbort time had swept through tbe town and down the valley, where it did vast amount of damage to farms and live stock. The town of St. Johns was but slightly damaged, the water melting down few old adobe buildings At Woodruff and other towns in the valley the damage was confined entirely to farms and live stock. The people of Holbrook with their effects had hied themselves to high ground, but when the flood had reached that point its force had failed, owing to the miles of almost flat country the river traversed on it's way from the mountains, and only the lower portion of the town was inun. dated. The loss was very small and the people have already returned to their homes. The damage to the peo pie of the upper Little Colorado is es- tinated t nearly 4OO,OlOs, nd as the people are poor the loss will be SC verely felt. It is probable that the government will be asked to put in per manent dams in the Little Color ado river valley.

properly applicable TO the Philippines as to the
western parts of the United States! Upon what
principle of reason, logic or equity is that whlch
is right for the Choctaw and the Sioux to be
accounted wrong for the Moro and the Tagal!
And if, as DR.. Abbott well declared to set
apart territory to be forever sacred to barba-
'rism" in Montana or Oklahoma was "a foolish
pledge. better broken than kept" why should
the making and the keeping of such pledge DE
required of us in Jolo or Samar?
We can perceive no rational ground upon
which to make a distinction between the two
cases. The Filipinos are to US foreign in race,
in language In customs and in religion" mat
is precisely what DR.. Abbott said of the Amer

Indians have resented and resisted our control
There is no argument for the abandonment OF

for the abandonment Of the Indians; there is no
argument for the civilization Of our wards In

the same right in MindRnao that we have In

That is the wholesome and profitable lesson IN

4 QUESTION OF STANDARDS.

Ex-Mayor Low put the significance OF the
MayOralty campaign in nutshell when lie salo
at Carnegie Hall that the question at issue was
n question of standards Mr. Mcclellan is ask
ing reelection on the ground that his personal
character is good and his personal Intentions
are honorable. But the Tammany Candidates
admitted integrity cannot avail to cloak the
odious theories Of administration which TAM
many, and every nominee Of Tammany, stand
for Mayor Mcclellan years ago cast his for
tunes with Tammany Hall, and he has never
shrunk from accepting and defending It's con-
ceptons of government He euleglzed van
Wyck In 1901 and advocated Van WycKs re-
election. II e has never QuarreIled with the Tam
many system of honest graft'-a system under
which, as the Hon. George Washington PIunk1tt
describes it, politicians do not steal dollar
from the city treasury; they just see their OPP
"portunities and take them"
Mayor Mcclellan has said on the stump that
his administration has been honest efficient
and economical" But with all his personal
ideals of honesty, Mr.. Mcclellan, as Mr. Low
justly puts it. sis willing to lend himself to the
Service of an organization whose every prin-
"cpIe is inconsistent with either honest, eff
Client or economical government. His admin
"istration may have been honest, in the life
insurance sense of that word, and in the same
sense it may have been economical and 1t may
have been efficient But a system such as
Mr. Plunkitt has described in his recent book
cannot be honest and cannot be economical
land cannot be efficient in any just sense of
"those words"
Whatever professions Mr.. Mcclellan may
make, he must be judged by the standard of
public administration which he accepts, and
those who vote for him must take the RESPONSE
bility-if he is eIected-of fastening upon the
city for four years more the odious system Of
plumber devised for their own enrichment by the
Durhams, McNicholls McCarrens and Murphys.

THE TWO INDIES.

Dr.. Lyman Abbott's presidential address at
the Lake MOhonk conference last week was
filed with valuable suggestion The conference
was called for the discussion of problems con-
corning our dependent peoples" not from
tyrannical or an "imDerialistc" but from a
friendly and philantiropic point of view: and
DR.. Abbott sounded an appropriate keynote
when he said that it was the conscience Of the
American people that was asking what we
ought TO do There will be few, we imagine
who viii dissent from the answer which the
speaker himself proceeded to give TO that cues
ton He swept away the obsolete idea that
barbarians had a right to remain forever bar
barians In the heart Of a civilized country, and
that we should protect them forever in that
right Whatever pledge this nation ever made
10 that effect was a foolish pledge better
broken than kept" The problem is no longer
how TO protect savages in their savagery, but
how to do away with that saVagery and TO i'm
pose civilization upon numerous people for
eign to us In race, in language, in customs and
in religion. That is the proposition which Dr.
Abbott put before that conference Of friends OF
the Indians and other dependent peoples, and to
which that conference addressed itself with
characteristic earnestness.
There VIII, we have said be little if any dis
sent from the views expressed by Dr.. Abbott
1t viii be observed that he was speaking par
ticularly about the North American Indians and
our duties toward them. IN such application his
words VIII meet with universal approval But
why should their application be thus restricted?
There are other Indians than those in those
other Indies which Columbus was seeking when
he stumbled upon America Why should not

if they were caught and punished the class
would be able to secure their pardon. That Is
a consideration which may properly lead college
authorities to hesitate before yielding In any
measure to the petition or the demand OF class
which voluntarily writes itself down com
pany of lawbreakers; and it is well that most OF
the class upou more mature reflection, decided
not to adopt so evil a course.
