THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

There could hardly be anything more undignihed shas the situation created by the controversy between the president and congress. says the Boston Financial News. No important legislation is expected from the short session Of congreas just before tho inauguration Of aew president. So that there win be no disappointment on that score. but To witness the spec tacle now presented Of the president and senators calling each other names and trying to blacken each others characters Is certainly one that the country must be ashamed of The merits of the ciaerent eontrover- sies excite but little interest, as the average man cares rothing for any thing but the most important legisla- ton. sHecdng the business or nnan cial conditions. or which may have some bearing on onr relations with other nations. It is q matter or inalf ference with most men whether Till man or the president is right. but fl does excite a feeling of disgust to see men in such high reees eondeseeld- ing to such language as both have used.
 A prominent journal. noted Tor it's independence and fagnoss, expressed the feelings Of 8 great many when t said that while Air Roosevelt may have raised the moral tone Of the bus. iness world. that he had decidedly low- cred the tone of ?. blic fife. That he nas been an auyocrat and cared little for the restraints o' the las, has been well known. and 'ha; he has cared nothing whatever for the restraints ot his position and tAe dignity of the presidential office, is evident to every enc. That the country now has dif fsreat idea of what.a president can be goes without saying, but while the unthinking may applaud thc antics of the spoiied child, the thinking man looks at the effects CT character after ward, and only harm can come from lowering the tone of the presldenus office.

The rangers have done a vast amount of good since this police force was pro vided for and it will remain to be seen whether it's abolishment will be mis- take. The feeling for cutting down the expense of the territorial govern ment to the minimum Is said to be strcEs among the legislative members and in the general retrenchment pro gram 1t is said that the rangers are slated to go.

We extract the following from an interview with Gov. Kbbey publish ed widely in the territorial press:
 "As a matter of fact congress should have nothing to do with Arizona's constitution. The people are supreme in that matter"
 What has become Of the suggestion of Governor Kibbey that to reassure the eastern opposition to Arizona's claims for statehooi that a provision be. included in the Arizona statehood bill which would gigs the president or congress the power to approve or re- iect the constitution of the new state, though 1t might be republican in form and not in conflict with the United States constitution? It looks like the governor is hedging CT this unhesrd of proposition.

SECURING DEPOSITS.

IL Is quite likely that three state leg is.atures will. during the next few months. follow tho lead of Oklahoma in tho matter of passing law proyid- iag guarantee for all money depos- lted in state banks. These states arc Kansas. Texas and Nebraska In Kan sas both the republicans and demo crats favor tho measures in Texas the democratic majority have promised the law and the sane is true of the democrats of Nebraska
 The question or guaranteeing bank deposits by the sta,es and the nation was widely discussed dg-ins the lasl presidential campaign, but the discus sion left the sentiment og tAe eoan- try widely divided cn the question q its merits and demsrits. t has beea stated that the Oklahoma banks have drawn cercsiis from both Texas and Kansas hoeause of tLo guaranty law and this may be one reason why these states are hasteniag ia tals na,toT. as means Of keeping t4eir money B. home.
 The bankers of the eoantry are d yidcd on tho proposition of a law which win provide absolute state guarantee Of all money deposited. Ns tionaI bankers have generally oppos cd the plan and especially are the na tional banks of Texas opposed to tho measure.
 1 Opponents Of inc law claim that il Is B species of interference with pri yate business ana there is no nor, reason why the government or state should guarantee the debts Of bank ing firm than the iebts or tao mer chants or manufaeture-s should be guaranteed. The tank guaranty laa is not g guarantee vaich would cost the states anything to carry it out but it provides a rlan by which ths banks themselves shall provide 8 funt which will insure eepositors ag2insi loss.
