EDITORIAL NOTES.

EDlTOklAL NOIES.
 Charles F. Mayer has succeeded Wm. Garrett as president of the Balti more & Ohio railroad.
 The Flagstaff Democrat the leading democratic paper of northern Arizona, has come out squarely for county divi- sion.
 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the-city of Phenlx IS the way the average PheniCian reads his Bible.
 Gen. Eb Williams. Of Mohave county, Is a candidate for associate justice when the supreme court of the territory Is remodeled.
 Representa,ive-elect, ]. C. Jones, of Gila county. favors memorializIng con gress to set aside as government reser. vation that portion of Apache county containing the famous petrified forest.
 One branch of the next legislature will De democratic, while the governor ,s also a democrat. If there is any cor rupt legislation 1t cannot De charged tc republican legislature.
 Brother Hughes, of the Star. says II was through the census f 1880 that the capital was moved to Prescott in 1876. Come now L. C. give us better logic than that. The legislature oi 1876 certainly did not anticipate that big census of 1880.
 Our contemporary quotes paragraph this morning from an exchange giving 3 ''pointer" as to the best course for Phenix to pursue toremove the capital, This IS entirely unnecessary as Phenix IS up to snuff" on that subject on every point even to raising 'boOdle" sack
 Denver seems to be having an all the year round boom, not one born oi spasmodic efforts, bu. substantial one based on merit. She reports real es- tate sales last week amounting to $I.ooo,ooo. This for the winter sea son IS certainly a remarkable showing.
 The following Cut at democratic congressman comes from a democratic paper, the Albuquerque Democrat |; "There IS now a vacancy in the New York congressional district formerly represented by Perry Belmont But this condition Is not radically different from that which existed there before Mir. Belmont resigned.
 Cleveland has rewarded Mir. Bailey, the Indiana stump speaker, who origi- mated the 'dollar day story" and sev- eral other campaign lies against Gen eral. Harrison. during the recent cam paigh, by appointing him United States district attorney in Indiana. There IS very strong probability, however, that Mir. Bailey will not be confirmed by the senate
 The editor of our esteemed contem- porary, the Globe Silver Belt, has been somewhat astonished to find that he was recently indicted, by a United States grand jury, m Prescott, for cut tIng timber on government land. We anticipate with pleasure visit from Judge Hackney in January, although Vt cannot endorse the proceeding which 1 forces him to come
 The Tucson Star, whose editor has been up to Phenlx to take lock at ;bs 1 capital removal poodle sack, and who | evidently had the privilege of lingering II, intimates that if Governor Zulick does not resign on the 5th of March. charges will be preferred against him Ir making this threat the Star IS simply 1 doing the bidding of the Phenlx hood- lers to attempt 10 intImiGate the gov- ernor 10 stand ID with ,heIr corruption scheme
 A recount IS ID progress IF San Frau | cisco which shows up the most glarIpe | frauds perpetated by the democracy | The official majority of CiuDie. the democratic candidate for congress from 1 the Fifth district, was announced a, ~ over Phelps, republican. As far a, inc recount has progressed, in that pat of the city belonging to the aboye dis trict, Phelps has gained 70 votes-more than enough to elect him. IL IS pfobable that a recount will be ordered in th, district, and California will gain an other republican congressman thereby.
 The Tombstone Prospeotor takes very superficial view of the situation when 1t claims that the papers which advocate abolishing the office of terri torial superintendent do so from desirt to abolish" the incumbent of the office. Mir. Strauss will be duly abolished in January without any legislation on the subject. The JoURNAL-MlNER advo. caied abolishing the office before NJ Strauss was ever heard of or known to be m existence outside Of Tucson. Iii favors It now, also the abolishine of the office of commissioner of immigration. Both of these offices are slnecures. and of no real benefit to the territory 'n their voracious greed te gobole IP the earth. Phenix papers become rattled occasionally. One of them an that Judge W. C. Hazle6ine, he we'll known attorney of Albuquer lue, IS candidate for governor of l. Arizona. Judge Hazeldine S not for governor of any territory, ut he has received the enthusiastic er . lorsement of a large portion of the ,er- itorial press of New Mexico for eoy,r-
