CHOICE MISCELLANY
America and Art.

America will still remain the great buyer of the finest and most costly things. the prices of which are set by the competition of American fortunes, and these alone. Nobody in Europe has yet dreamed of paying for a Van Dyck or a Rembrandt the prices that have been given. as a matter of course. during the last two years by a tram way magnate iu Philadelphia and a steel magnate and a dry goods mag nate in Fifth avenue. Twice only. by a gigantic effort. a public subscription in England has defeated them and their brethrcn-of whom there are at least a dozen-in the case of the Ne- lasquez and the Holbein. But such ex- ertions can only be made at long in. teryals, and it is very rarely that a government can be expected to take the burden upon itself. The lesson of the Yerkes sale will probably be that it will bc easy enough to buy back moderately good things at perhaps less than the American collector has paid for them. but pictures like the llches- ter Rembrandt and the Warwick Van Dyck have gone and will not return London Times.

The opportunity is afforded Bis bee for a monster Fourth of July celebration cOmmemorating not only the Independence of the United States but our own independence as well The bill enabling us to form a constitution and become a state has been passed by congress and signed by the President. It is eminently fitting that we should add to the Fourth of July celebration the state hood feature. The local Fourth of July committee has ifs hands full in preparing for the events already upon the program. The Review sug sests that the Chairman of the Re. publican City Central committee and the Chairman of the Democratic City Central committee meet with the Fourth of July committee for this purpose.

Of all the incongrous things that have arisen during the statehood agi tation it Is doubtful if anything more incongruous has arisen or could arise than the action of the Douglas repub- Iican club. One of the first actions of this club after organization was to pass a set of resolutions denounclng the senate statehood bill. It was termed obnoxious, iniquitous and hu- initiating and a telegram or letter, we forget which, was sent to Cameron urging him to work against the bill and to secure the passage of the Hamilton bill. The resolutions were strong in expression and so was the message to Cameron. Now this same club is sending telegrams to Cameron. Beveridge and others con graduating and thanking them for the passage Of the same, horrid. in- iquitous. humiliating senate bill.
 After the passage of the resolu tions by the club the territorial ma chine "got after" the Douglas club. They were talked to and were told where to get of and get on. Ad- ministration organs criticised them adversely. And now comes the change of heart. the congratuIatory telegrams on the passage of the bill that was once so bad and horrid and is now all good. Certainly the pow CTS that be of the republican party in Arizona must have put the gad" to the Douglas republican club. The ac- tions of the club. however, remain inexplicable and contradictory.

NEW POSTAL BANK BILL AND ITS EFFECTS

A postal savings bill Of some kind seems likely to become law. Both the senate and the house have their favorite measures, but there will be an agreement forthwith and the re- suit will be signed by the president.
 II need hardly be said that both measures are marred by compromises and by differences to vested interests For example. the effort to keep re- ceipts in the vicinity of their deposit is frankly absurd and every hnancier knows it Money goes where it is needed as surely as water finds its own level.
 But half loaf is better than no bread. and there will be many to- morrows to atone for the mistakes of today. The new postal banks viii empty the old stockings and the holes under the hearth. and their contents will be thrown into circulation. Large sums Of money that are now sent to Europe for safe keeping will remain here, and thrift win be encouraged by an institution that will command the confidence of even the most cautious and the most suspicious. One dollar will open an account at the govern. ment banks, and those to whom even a dollar is a formidable amount may

DEMOCRATS sTEADFAsT FOR STATEHOOD.

The Review has no desire to de- tract in any way from the credit due Hon. Ralph Cameron and the re- publican members of congress for the part they played in granting state hood to Arizona, but our republican friends should not permit their en- thusiasm to blind them to the truth Hon. Jos. E, Morrison. fin an in terview last evening. said:
 It seems entirely proper that the people Of Arizona should fully appre- eiate what the republicans. through their delegate to congress. have done for them in securing statehood. We promised you statehood if you would elect Cameron: you elected Cameron and he has secured you statehood and in so doing the repub. hcans have fully kept their pledges. something that the democracy of Arizona did not do for twenty years.
 The political history of both par ties on the statehood question shows that for twenty years the democratic national platform has declared in fay- or of statehood for Arizona and during all this time the democratic members of congress have been ready and willing to grant statehood. only to be met with determined oppo- sition on the part of the republi- cans. On three different occasions Hon Mark Smith succeeded in pass ing a statehood bill through the house and the republican senate promptly killed the bill. In 1900 the republican party for the first time inserted a plank in it's national plat
 
 form favoring the admission of Ari- zona to statehood. but when the bill reached the senate the platform pledge was forgotten and the repub- licans killed the bill. The democrats in congress have never broken their  platform pledge favoring admission of the two remaining territories. The opportunity has been afforded the republicans for the past twenty years to join hands with the democrats and grant us statehood It must be ad. mitted. in inc face of the record. that the democratic party is at least entitled to a share in the credit for the final passage of the statehood bill.

An alleged improvement upon the now widely known international lam guage Esperanto is the result of the labors of a subcommittee appointed by the international committee on arts- iicial languages which met in Paris under the presidency of the famous chemist Ostwald in l9O7. This new interlanguage is called Ido. It has it's dictionaries, grammars and read ing books prepared for the use of readers of eight or nine existing lan- guages. It has been described as a -quintessenee of European languages. % and it's advocates claim that it is simpler and easier 10 learn than Els peranto and that many are adopting it.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

A movement has been started in New Mexico having for it's purpose the holding of a constitutional con vention composed of non-partisan delegates. the idea being. We sup pose. the framing of non-partisan constitution. So far. in Arizona. we have not heard of any movement looking toward the choosing of non partisan delegates to Arizona's con stitutionaI convention Such prop osition would be useless. Partisan lines will be drawn in this territory and closely drawn. The annuiment of our primary law and the abolish ment of our educational qualification law by the republicans of congress. all of which was done for partisan political advantage. has had the ef- feet to prevent any non-partisan prop osition being entertained.
 Under the provisions Of the state hood bill the election laws which are found in the Revised Statutes of Ari- zona for 1901 will govern. Political parties will hold conventions and place in nomination the number Of delegates apportioned to each county and at the same time, no doubt, each party will make declarations and pledges to the voters on those issues which will play an important part in the making of the constitution. The people will insist. and have a right to know, how delegates to the constitutional convention will vote on those issues they favor. The making Os a constitution is in the hands Of a majority of the people, which will be delegated to their rep resentatives. If the delegates follow inc wishes of the people on the i'm Dortant matters it will not be nee essary to call the convention to- gether the second time. Their failure 10 follow the wishes of the majority of the people in the framing of the constitution means a further delay in statehood.

Collapse of Derrlcks Delays Work on the
Government Building.

Just a few minutes before noon
Saturday the big derrick just erect
on the front of the govern
ment building, now in course CT
construction two doors below HE
WAToHMAN office, fell and did
considerable damage. According
to the best information obtain.
able the cause and results are
about as follows: There were
two derricks on the building, the
larger one having just been erect
ed to hoist the large blocks,
weighing four Or five tons. One
of the blocks had been placed
across the columns successfully
and as the second one was nearing
it's position, it seems, the boom OF
the old derrick was swung around
and struck the guy-rope fastened
to q tree in the rear of the build
ing and across North Church
street causing it to break. This
threw the strain on the other
ropes which were neither in the
right position nor strong enough
to hold the great weight. The
upright portion Of the big derrick
wavered and fell to the ground
carrying the scaffoldlng as it
went, disfiguring and breaking
numerous large, handsome and
valuable stones which were
laying about awaiting their turn
to be placed in the walls of the
building.
The roar and crash were terrific
and it IS wonderful that some one
was not injured, for the workmen
we're on and about the building
and numerous onlookers were
standing in reach of the falling
