The people of the south find that

Ramon O. Williams, Cleveland's
consul-general to Cuba, has shown his
fitness to bo allied to the present ad

ity to blunder just as well as tho man
who placed him iu ofiico. Ramon is
loquacious but indiscreet. In gross
violation of all diplomatic ethics, ho
had himself interviewed in a Cuban
paper, in which lie made a number of
caustic criticisms of tho Cuban govern
ment and practically stated that he
desired to soo tho rebelssuccecd against
it. Spain is naturally indignant and
demands the recall of this one of
Cleveland's diplomatic blunders. Her
request is . perfectly reasonable and
should be complied with at once. No

The legislature can do no better
,vork tlian to' pass tho bill for tho.rerrw-
val of tho territorial ponitontlary from
.Yuma to Prescott. Tlio roasous" for Iho
onactmont of tho law making tho
change aro manifold and every one of
them is cogent. Yuma is situated in
an out of tho way place, diflieult and
costly of access for most of the com
munities of tho torritory, while Pres
cott is a central locality, approachablo
from anv cnuntv. The expense of
maintaining convicts at tjio present
prisou is enormously excessive of what
'it-should tie. .Vero it iu a place
where supplies could bo easily obtained
a great savliig could be effected. Iu
1891-92 It cost a littlo over nincty-scv-ou
and a half cents per diem to keep
each prisoner. For the years 1893-94
it cost nearly eighty-sovon cents. This
was for actual mamtonauco and exclu
sive of official salaries and moneys
speut for repairs;, et cetera. Jfhere is
no reason, except tho iuconvouienco of
the present location,- why this should
not bo reduced at least ouo half. Dur
ing tlio years 1893-91 there have boon
57 pardonsgranted, and In almost every
instance executive clemency was exer
cised because of the great injury to the
health of the prisoners caused by tho
excessive heat of Yuma, notwithstand
ing tho expensive fan system in oper
ation in the prison. This wholesale
turning loose rf criminals on the com
munity at large has been ocourrlng
ever since the institution was created
and will continue until it is placed
where the climate is endurable by tho
human species. The people aio bound
to be affiliated with an unnecessary ex
pense of thousands of dollars and the
outpouring of a large number of crim
inals annually until tlio penitentiary
and Yuma aro divorced.
Tho bill for the creation of an im
migration bureau should become a law.
Arizona has tho laud and oilier natural
resources to make a state, and a great
one. .All she needs is men and money
to develop them. The tiilu of immi
gration lias been ffuwing westward for
years, but still this country is practi
cally unsettled. Tho frigid Dakotas
and Minnesota have been peopled with
industrious husbaudmeu, tho glorious
states of Colorado and Montana are
being worked in every spot where
minerals, grain or grass can be pro
duced. Idaho and Utah possess their
full quota; tho muddy, fog encom
passed states of Washington and
Oregon arc being worked to tho limit;
awl in California, tho land of much
advertised climate, there aro thniis
amis subsisting on ozono. The reason
that these states havo bounded ahead
of Arizona is that they have advertised.
This country is just as good as any of
them, and better in many respects, but
pcoplo don't know it. They think
Arizona is an arid waste, teeming over
with murderous Indians and cutthroat
whites. An imhiigralinn bureau,
composed of mou of tho proper calibre,
clothed with tho necessary power,
could soon make this couutry what it.
should have been long ago a couutry
tilled with prosperous farmers and
miners working pay dirt. Let the
outsido public know that we havo a
good thing and people will soon evince
a desire to participate in tho enjoy
meut of it.
