An Unwise Thing.

Whether we insist on calling "thc United States a plural or singular noun, every American distinctly claims one state as his own. Migratory as most are, married or divorced, dead or alive, rich or poor, blonde or black, blonde or brunette, the genuine American has his home and fixes his pride in Kansas or Louisiana, or, if he be very fortu. nate, in California. Consequent. ly, the effort to have congress pass a bill offering statehood to Arizona and New Mexico as one state grossly affronts the citizens of both territories. Arizona has a history of her own. Her peo. pie have made to a great extent, their own laws after their own peculiar needs they have their ambitions and their affections. Why should they be forced to transfer it all to New Mexico, lose their names and the memo. rials of their history. Were New Mexico and Arizona both willing the plan ofjoint statehood would would be a good one. Wher
 both are unwilling and injured besides, there is little profit in a congress trying to make a new state with legislative glue. Sta
 tes are not made that way.-Sar

The anti joint statehood com mittee from this territory have been heard by the House com mittee on territories. And from all reports there were stormy scenes at some of the hearings.
 Before the committee Former Governor Murphy made a heat ed speech, denouncing the repre- sentatives that said railways and mining interests were using corrupt methods to defeat the joint statehood bill.
 "l hereby denounce as false, li- belous and slanderous any charge of corruption regardless ofwhere it comes from" said Murphy. "I feel it utterly futile for us to appear before the committee and discuss our views on statehood. the verdict is signed and sealed agalnst us, but l cannot refrain from denouncing the charge Of corruption against our party. It would be just as fair to credit the report that hands are being put into the governments pocket to take money for buildings to be used in passing thejoint state hood bill"

redhot or white hot metal plate it

rates quietly and slowly as it rolls
about the plate. Now, suppose that
the drop on the plate is Il volatile liq-

ARREST MAY DISRUPT BOARD

of the arrest of John E. Heating one

Running as Exercise.

The fact that person is capable of

Origin of net.

The origin of croquet is certainly in

are of the opinion that it is founded on
the old game of pale maille," or pell-
NELL, from which we have the street
Pail Mali. This is described by Cot
grave in his dictionary as "a game
wherein round box bowie is with a
mallet struck through high arch of
yron,'' and q picture of this in Struts

"Reform has taken o deep hold on Della
ware" says the Philadelphia Record
"Allee is now strongly opposed to the use
Of money in elections. Addicks disbmsed
sparingly at the last election-so spar
ingly that his followers were reported to
have appealed to the Regular Republicans
for funds. The du Points have annonced
that they will not finance the Regular
faction this year, and now Alice declares
that he would rather retire to private
life than cringe 10 the money power.
4 intend he says 80 urge my party
not only to prevent the use Of money
within our ranks, but to stop its use in
other parties Evidently the supply Of
funds is running out"
We believe the change Of heart is due
TO something else. Funds may be "run-
ming out" so far as Addicks and Alice and
Layton are concerned, but there are others
who have money to spend on corrupting
elections and who, Judging by the past,
have no moral compunctions about ex-
pending it for this vile purpose.
But a change has come over the situa-
ton. A movement has been inaugurated
having for its object the suppression of
bribery and vote-buying at elections in
this State. It is supported by public
sentiment and backed by law. Il pro-
poses TO invoke the aid Of that law in sup
pressing the crime Of election debauchery
which at the last election in Delaware
reached appalling proportions.
Herein, we believe, may be found the
secret of the virtuous resolves Of Senator
Alice, and possibly Of others, not TO use
money at this years election for the pur-
chase Of votes. They are afraid that the
anti-bribery organization which is TO be
formed may send them to prison If they
undertake to engage in the devilish work
again.
The anti-bnbery movement has accom-
plished this much already. Il has made
the vote-buying conspirators afraid. Wher
il shall be organized and in effective work
ing order as Il will be before many mort
weeks, who can doubt that It's mere exist
ence to say nothing Of the effective worl
