The Railroad War.

The Denver Tribune says of the Santa Fe: ''The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe ticket men were on hand early Monday morning and worked late. At noon the Santa Fe bulletin ed the fact that 1t was selling tickets to Kansas City, s and a chromo, to St. Louis, S5 and a chromo, to Chi oego, $7 and chremo. The chromo WGas a folder of the Atchison, Topeka x Santa Fe, with 8 picture of the late Montezuma hotel, About six o'clock in the evening General Shep perd hired b2nd to play in front oi the SaEtta Fe office to attract a crowd This pulled the crowd from the Union Pacific corner across the street. MT. Olmstead immediately went out and offered the bandmaster $35 to play in front of the Union Pa cific office The band would pot go. He then offered pass to the river to each of them if they would leave town on the Union Pacific train. It was in vain. Mir. Crosby next came over to the Santa Fe corner, and gave the leader $15 to play Hail to the Chlef-Scalper,' At 9 o'clock the war was over and the doors closed"

we do not believe that Judge How ard will, for u moment, seriously consider 1t. Several litigants are al raedy here from abroad to attend the June term of Court, and letting the term go by would be imposing a greater hardship than Mohave- where ID term is definitely expected would suffer by being subjected to little delay. Tho wrong that Mo have complains of should not be righted by wronging Yavapai.
 The above is from the Prescott Miner. The best thing the much abused people of Prescott can do, is to get an extra Judge and have h1m ali to themselves. Let him sit on the bench at Prescott all the year round, business or no business. They might be satisfied then. but we think not. If they got one Judge all to themselves they would soon want cwo. One regular term of the Dis trict Court has already been held in Prescott this year and if our mem
 cry serves us correctly a special term also for criminal business, in addi
 ton to a session of the Supreme Court, and all this in less than six nonths. This would be enough tc satisfy any community less selfish than Prescott. There was no ques
 ton of letting the June term at Pres colt go by, it was only matter of two or three weeks postponement at the most, but we know that even that Is very hard on the dear people at Pres l colt. They are so used to running everything to suit themselves that such a momentous question as the postponement of the District Court causes them much mental perturba
 tion.. However they have got badly left this time, as Chief Justice How ard has recognized the justice of ou1 demands and is even now holding Court here. When the capitol ques
 ton comes up again, they may be even more badly left than they have been in the matter under discussion

Cur New CiaI,fJustice.

People residing in the States where all the public officers are chosen by themselves from their own number cannot, without some effort and brushing up of the history of our government, fully understand or ap- preciate the general feeling of anx- iety prevailing in the Territories when changes ale made by the mother government at Washington, in the personnel Of our judiciary. So much tor good or for bad in our Ca reer depends upon the character, qualifications and conduct Of those who deal out public justice that this feeling has recently been doubly ill
 tensitied by the peculiar condition of affairs in Arizona. when it was known that a change was made in the office of Chief Justice Of the Territory. The new appointee was a stranger to most of the people of the Terri tory, and. while tbeIr curiosity as to his character and qualifications as a gentleman, citizen and lawyer. were very soon after his appointment made generally known through the public press. and although th1s knowledge of his great worth had fully treasured our people upon tbose scores, Yet 1t was not until af- ter they had seen him clothed In the ermine, holding tbe scales of the blind Goddess. and still then, not un. til after they had been able to see his manner of dispensing public justice that this intense feeling of anxiety was fully relieved. But to say that after our people had waited patiently for the arrival among them of Chief Justice Sumner Howard, and still further had patiently waited until they had seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears his manner of handling and dispos
 ing of the business of our Court here that their anxiety was relieved would not express half that should be told. Not only are our people relieved but they are highly pleased. The cour- teous and d'gnifed manner in which the new Chief Justice listens to coun- sel of the respective parties, his quickness of perception, and his cer- tain grasp of the legal propositions and hls power of close, accurate and perspicuous analysis, has in day's time given him the highest rank as a iurist in the estimation of our bar and all the lawyers from abroad at tending our court, while the nature of his decisions has clearly demon strated that causes gre and will be determined by him strictly upon their merits. Arizona IS indeed for tunate ln the acquisition of the Hon. Sumner Howard for her new Chief Justice, and we trust that he and his estimable family may be content to remain with us and become perman ent citizens of the new State, for whose foundation he will do so much to prepare the way. We say a most hearty welcome to Arizona to you and yours, Mir. Chief Justice.

As far as the people of Mohave are concern cd the matter is viewed with almost total indifference, if anything Tucson being tnelr choice for the reason that they can reach that place by rail fo2agithout the long and tedious
 ge ride to Prescott or Pnenix Ppr people have staged it enough in he past to be able to appreciate the ease and comfort of railroad trave in the future. Can anyone tell us what the people of Prescott have done in return for the capitol? We hold thatsif the capital Is moved next winter, and there seems to be but little doubt that 1t will, 1t should be moved permanently and the matter settled ases @ all. Also that a suit hu Ili.R be at once erected al the expaHs of the Territory, con tain1ng aH tne necessary accommo- dstions for the Legislature and Fed eral officials. Whichever city may be selected, should be required to donate to the Terrltory a suitable piece of ground for the capitol build ing, not less than five or ten acres. and required to fence it ir and planl 1t in trees and flowers and keep It in good order. If Mineral Park should be selected, we will do that and more ' too. We will do more than the peo pie of Prescott ever did for it.
