 Maricapa democrats and republi- cans are making an issue out of the Graham killing. The sheriff of the county is threatened to be strung up by the thumbs, after the style of Private Iams.
 A New York paper says ex-Secre- tary Bayard is taking vacation. Yes, and its a long one, too; he's been taking it ever since the 4th of March, 1889.
 The good points of the last House  of Representatives, which was re- publican, have been strongly brought out by the entire lack of good points in the present House, which has made the defeat of the democratic party certainty.
 The new zinc process of McCann Bros, of Prescott, is receiving very favorable consideration throughout the territory. Its success is set tied fact, and through it the only method so far given for the cheap and practical reduction of rebellious ores is assured.
