 EDITORIAL NOTES.
 The Courier has a hen on, evi. dently.
 Say free trade" to democrat and he commences to yell "force bill"
 California will apply for space at the Worlds fair for a new and lead ing industry-that train robbery.
 The Tucson Star is pulling for headquarters to remain at Los An geles. Evidently our southern friends are afraid of Prescott.
 Silver King mining stock has de- clined to nine and ten cents a share on the New York market. Phenix of Arizona is quoted at 54@55 cts.
 The new s. F., P. & P. road is at tracting considerable attention in the west, and leading papers seem to think its destination is San Diego. "Phenix's climate is beginning to assert itself" said recent enthu- siastic arrival in Prescott from that town. But all the same he couldn't stand the assertion"
 Arizona democrats are squabbling over a site to hold their convention. Phenix and Flagstaff being unde- cded on, we suggest Ehrenherg as proper place.
 A Kansas artificial rain company Is operating very successfully in the '. southwest. They furnish one-half inch of rain for Sl,OOO. What is the matter with having them come to Prescott.
 The President has selected Sena- Allison, of Iowa, and Jones, of Ne vada, Representatives McCreary, of Kentucky, Gen. Francis A. Walker, of Massachusetts, and Hon. Henry W. Cannon, of New York. as dele gates n the international monetary conference.
 The transfer of further bloodshed in the Tewksberry Graham vendetta from Yavapai to Maricopa, we sup pose will be chronicled by the Phe- nix press as another evidence that Maricopa is still the banner county of Arizona. You are welcome to it al, neighbor.
 Phenix is tiring of the notoriety given it in the Graham-Tewksberry vendetta. Aside from the heavy ex- pense the county bears, it is now feared street fight between the two factions will occur, to give its fair name an everlasting stain as shoot. 'em burg.
 This is year of journalistic duel ling Medill, of the Chicago Tri- bune, has three challenges in his pocket, aud the probability = that if the Phenix press do not let up soon on the Graham -Tewksburry row, the epidemic will reach the Salt river valley in Arizona. The latest reports from the scene of the California train robbery state that nothing new has developed in capturing the robbers, although they are "located." Ten men from Arizona were recently imported by the Southern Pacific, which demon strates forcibly that either Califor- mia officers are weak and "bluffy," or that Arizona has the best mate rial to effect capture when it comes to close quarters.
 Several successful tests have been been made recently with giant pow der explosions to produce rain in Southern Arizona, near Tucson. From 3 to l50 pounds of powder have been exploded on prominent peaks and in remarkably short time the immediate section has been deluged. We do not know whether the city council of Prescott will burn a little powder or not, but would recommend them to try the experiment just back of the reser- yoir, where suitable elevation can be had.
 Sam Webb, who until few years ago was frantic politician in the democratic party, is now as ener- getic in the journalistic cause in Maricopa county. He is at present visiting Prescott to seek campaign funds through subscriptions for the Gazette, and if we mistake not will make the cohorts" step up as grace fully with the hard stuff, as it has been demonstrated in the past, that without the prestige of Maricopa democracy, and the 'huence of the Gazette. the good things usually set on the legislative table, at the dem ocratic hotel, will only be rehashed to suit the financial palates of its guests.
