C0fRCIVE STATEHOOD
 MOST NI0LERABLE
The New York Sun on the Proceed.
 iDes in Congress.

The New York Sun may not always be right but that newspaper has a fac ulty for saying what it thinks and in respect of the statehood question 1t has assumed an attitude acquired by logical reasoning and unprejudced in- vestigation. If the New York Sun had the settling of the statehood question Arizona would have "sCuare deal" Tn any event 1t is pleasing to know that the territory has so powerful and influential a defender in the great American metropolis. The Sun of the 14th says:
 This idec of coercive statehood-that is, tha surrender and subordination of the American population of Arizona to
 the political master:- of the Mexican population in New Mexico-is sufIi- ciently repugnant to the sense Of fair
 play and decent procedure.
 The proposal to accomplish this off Fand by caucus machinery, unde. the party whip. stiflins the opposition that i recognizes no craftsmanship with regard to' this question, shutting off full dis cJ,ssion. shutting out the facts wnict other, is intolerable.
 There Is no more reason this yea i than last year or any other year fOl ! fCicing Arizona into a union with New MeXico-that is, no reason unless il
 can be shown by a separate vote oi
 her own people that sentiment in the
 territory is marvellously changed. That demonstration is open to the
 advocates O. COint statehood for Ari-
 Zona and New Mexico. There Is, il i our opinion. no other respectable set tlement Of tha question.

WOES OF TIE ARNDTS
 FORMERLY OF PHOENIX
The Husband Seeks Proof that His
 Wife is UntrGthful.

Probate Judge Phillips yesterday re- eeived q letter containing tale of woe from George W. Arndt. of Fl Paso. Arndt is an agent for the Equitable Life Assurance society. but his present trouble has noth.ng to do with the in vestigation Of the New York lagisla- tive committee. Neither did Judge Phillips receive this letter in an off clal capacity. butiin the capacity of a former landlord of Arndt and his wife, both of whom left here about ten days ago.
 They went to Fl Paso ana soon after their arrival the papers of that city had a stirring account of a meeting be- tween Arndt on one side and his wife and her alleged lover on the other. The alleged lover is also said to have been { an employe of the life insurance com pany. All this is referred to Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston, who thinks he knows all about insurance irregu- larities though there are great many little things like this Of which he mas never heard going on all the time.
 Arndt in his letter to Judge Phillips said that his wife told him that the CAlIlleAAt VI tiiA Aitl liot slal t0 sfAtll her. and tcat sie would have to go to , the home of her mother in Iowa. Alter she had gone. Arndt said that he sus- pected that she was going to Fl Paso where the man whom he supposed a { Le her lover was. ATndt resolved to go there himself, and either satisfy ! himself of the worst or else prove to
 his own satisfaction that his fears had 1 been grounGless.
