A REFORM T THAT REFORMS. When Mark A. SwliU and Henry F. Ashurst were elected to the United Uiro tho time required was twenty two minutes. Tho legislature had been directed in this action by a sen atorial primary In which our present benators wore victorious. A.t Ijucoln. Nebraska, iast week, a legislature which is decisively in con trol of tlie democrats on joint ballot concluded the e'ectiou of George ,V. Norris, republican, to tho United States, tenate. On the sanif day, Mr. Norris, at tending strijAly to his business In Washington, roporlsd an Imjiortant bill from the house committee on judi ciary He knew he was going to bs tlected, bocaubo the people of Ne braska, voting under the Arizona plan at the polling In November, had lo Miad their orders to the legislature to olect him. On the same day ar Salem, Ore., an oerwhelmingly republican legislature. elected Harry Lane, democrat, to the sotiate, under the same procedure. Oregon thus gains the distinction of being rprM.ntod by two democrats fa the senate, both elected by ropub.

The New Yori senator iaid a nice compliment to tltc good sense and in telligence of Arizona cltizena who placed puch implicit 'trnsr in- then representatives.

Tht Arizona Federal judgeship is still hi tho air Tho friends of Judge Sloan have given up all hope of confirming him, but are working to have tho president give him another position! that would take bim from the state. How this will work out 's problemat ical as yet. The Review gives the above for the purpose of pointing out the dry humor of Senator Mark Smith, who, when lie loft Arizona for Washington wa tompelltd to purchase an extra trunk into which he packed several thou sand lottery and notifications of appli cation for positions at the political pie counter. Besides the applications there were other thouands of letters of endorsements. No sus It. Arizona believes that there will be any scarcity of appli cants for federal offices. In fact they arc a numerous almost as grass hoppers during a plague year in the state ot Kansas. And no one knows this better than our senator. It Is ail right to "string" Senator O'Gorman with a line of talk about our people being busy with building roads ant school houses, but the number neck ing offlcn amount to a stunning figure. Congressman Carl Hayden has in troduced in congress a bill providing for pensions for all the old frontiers men yet living in Arizona and other states who were engaged ia fighting and subduing the hostile Indians be tween the years ol 1SC3 and 1803. A timely effort to recompense by this government many pioneers of the vouthwest who "risked their lives In the work of redeeming for civillza tion and industry this once Apache-, ridden country.

There is some question as to how tho new battleships will be christened and the champagne famine may provo' a great setback in this respect. The!
