men Of proved ability, high character
and enyiable reputation.
The plan by which information is
being secured as to how the people
desire the management Of their dis
tricts, TO large extent eliminates
politics from the matter, because the
delegations appearing before the
board are composed Of Democrats
and Republicans, and their main OBJ
ject is to have a district formed that
will put their respective towns as
near the center as possible. This Is
done in the hope that representatives
Of these towns will mostly be Sc
lected as delegates to the constitu-
tional convention to look after their
places as possible county seats. This
is the way the matter appears now
and the representatives Of the vari-
ous towns are n good looking, well
appearing, intelligent lot Of men.

Muskogee, Okla, July H.-There
will be two or three thousand Chero-
KEGS on the rolls who will not get
land as their allotment, but receive
money instead, because there is not
enough land to go around. These

will be those last enrolled, the
greater part of whom are Cherokee

Alleged Conspiracy to Muir.
der Former Governor

Denver Colo, Feb Governor
Mcdonald stoutly resents the charge
that he violated either custom or per
sonal rights in signing extraditon pa
pers for President Meyer, Secretary
Haywood and G. A. Pettibone of the
Western Federation of Miners, six
hours before they were arrested. He
says:
Il had ample opportunity to make a
thorough investigation of the charges
The evidence appeared TO be good, and
/ signed them Saturday morning. Moth
ing was made public about the matter
till the men had been arrested. The
men are not notified, aud are not given
the privilege of a hearing, as there is
danger of escape"
Publication was made here today Of
the complaints on which Governor
Gooding of Idaho. asked requisitions
for Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone,
the latter former member of the
executive committee of That labor or
ganization.
From these il appears that the men
were charged directly with the muir
der OF former Governor Frank Steuh-
enberg OF Idaho and not merely with
being accessories to the crime.
The complaints and acquisitions ~
the three cases are identical. and
charge the accused men with having
discharged the bomb by means Of
which Steunenberg was killed at Cald-
wen. ldah3, December 80, 1905. The
specific charge of murder was made,
it is explained in order to forestall
habeas corpus on behalf Of the accused
men. but no attempt will be made to
prove that they were in Idaho at the
time of the commission of the crime
It Is alleged. however that they con
spired with others to murder Steunen'
berg and furnished friends to carry
out the plot.

wlLL ARIZONA egr JusrlcEf

The debate on the omnibus state
hood bill IN the senate yesterday is the
beginning cf the first Intelligent con
sideration which has been given the
measure since Il was projected. The
biz vas discussed in the conference OF
Republican members OF the house Of
representatives for several hours by its
advocates, but its opponents we're al
lowed only fifteen minutes for reply. 1t
was rushed through the house under
gag rules on winters afternoon, and
its opponents we're aglin ignored. Now
it has come up in the Senate where for
the first time it will be considered on
It's merits
All the arguments in its favor IN
their last analysts are that If the four
territories are not brought into the
Union now as two states, they may OBJ
tain admission later as four states. thus
increasing the representation Of the
West in the Senate by eight. 1t is
further feared in some quarters that
these eight new senators may be
Democrats. Therefore all considera-
tions Of selegoyernwent and justice to
the people Of the territories are to be
prostitrted to sectionalism and parti-
san politics.
II mgst be admitted TO the credit of
the Il EASTERN press and people that
these arguments have not found gen
eral support in that section Many of
the ablest and most influential news
papers cf the Eastern states have
spoken out Boldly against the state
hood bill, denouncing it as un-Ameri-
can in principle and vicious in its in
justice and narrowness. The Eastern
people also have shown a spirit of emf
nent fairness in the matter. A con.
gressman representing a Brooklyn, N.
Y. district consulted his constituents
upon the question and found that
majority Of them were opposed to fore
ing the homogeneous, progressive
American citizenship of Arizona into
rnion with the dominant Mexican
population Of New Mexico.
AT first the Kansas City Journal
stood almost alone among Western
newsrapers. outside cf the territories.
in pointing ont the injustice OF the
measure but as soon as the question
became fully understood and the fact
was developed that fully 9S per cent
iof the people OF Arizona wele bitterly
opposed to the ill-assorted union with
New Mexico. strong popular opposi-
ton has been aroused against IT, Per-
haps the worst feature of the bill is
that It violates the American sense of
fair play. The people of Arizona are
the under dog. helpless to defend
themselves against oppression, and the
attempt to impose on them hateful re-
strictions and conditions calculated TO
Impair their American civilization has
attracted public sympathy aud stirred
up strong sentiment of protest, especi-
ally here in the West.
The issue in the Senate is whether
the people of Arizona and New Mexico
shall be allowed to vote separately
upnn the question OF their admission
as one state. This right has been con-
ceded TO every territory hitherto ad-
mitted TO The Union. and II Is difficult
to understand why It should be denied
the people Of these territories. Let us
hope that il will not be,-Kansas City
