EDITORIAL NOTES.
Thomas E. Parish is out of the

maker, with aparty of friends, IS visiting Los Angeles.
 Both of Arizona's want -to-be- Senators, Mark Smith and Meyer Zulick, opposed the nomination of L. c. Hughes as governor.
 Our contemporary this morning contains rather violent attack on Editor Hughes of the Star, the prospective governor of Arizona.
 "The democrats are jubilant over the appointment of L. C. Hughes, of Tucson, to the goyernorship of Arizona. ."-Phenix Gazette. Of course they are-that is, all except a few disg ones.
 Governor Hughes will have to get a lively move on himself to get to the seat of the territorial govern ment before the legislature ad- journs.
 Ingratitude is one of the basest of crimes, whether on the part of men in the highest or lowest stations of life. This has been said thousand times before, but circumstances make it peculiarly timely at present.
 Anent all the talk about hoop skirts coming into fashion again, it will be remembered that Jeff Davis broke up the fashion before, by donning them, to escape arrest, after the breaking up of his Con- federacy.
 The election of Carter Harrison as mayer of Chicago does not speak we'll for the future of that city. Mir. Harrison is generally credited as being anything but honest in pulp lie affairs.
 The populists seen to have be- come unpoplaaIar already in Kansas, as les 1eVldenced by the big republi- can majorities recently given at the polls at elections held throughout the State.
 Now that southern Arizona has been honored by the selection of a governor from that section, what is the matter with selecting a secre tary from northern Arizonai
 Governor Hughes. who is already popular in northern Arizona, would add to his popularity by the ap- pointment of s. P. Behan as super intendent of the territorial prison.
 John Dunbar, of the Phenix Ga zette, telegrsphs from Washington to his paper, that the position of secretary of the territory was ten dered hIm, but promptly declined Johns greatest fault has always been his modesty.
 The JoURNAL-MINER was correct in it's conclusions, that the announce ment of the appointment of Cap tain Eads, as governor of New Mex ico, was an April fool joke. Wm. T. Thornton, lawyer of Santa Fe, New Mexico, has received the app pOintment.
 Delegate Mark Smiths vigorous protest against the nomination of L. c. Hughes, for governor of Ari- zona," availed him nothing. In fact, it strengthened Hughes. There is a time coming in the not very distant future when Delegate Smith may wish he had kept his fingers out of the gubernatorial fight.
 John Dunbar does not seem to be a good prophet. He telegraphed from Washington a couple of weeks ago that the appointment of gov ernar would be made March 29. Last Saturday he telegraphed his paper that the nomination of Hughes would surely be sent to the Senate on Monday, but up to date nothing has been heard of it.
 W. K. Meade is mentioned as be- ing the next superintendent of the territorial prison. Mir. MeadeSwas formerly United States marshal of the territory, and left the position with an excellent record. He was a firm and unswerving friend of L. c. Hughes, at Washington, dur ing his canvass for the appointment as governor.
 "The James G. Blaine of Arizona democracy" failing to receive the nomination for governor, causes our contamp. to uttsE- following sigh this morning: Well, there is one consolation-we will soon have statehood and get rid of officials who are not the choice of the peo- pie." Some people make mistake, at times, in regard to who the peo- pie really are.
 If the JoURNAL-MNER eriticises democratic official, our contempor- ary immediately Yells out that it is abuse. If, as is the case, We occas ionally find something to commend in the act of a democratic official. then there is significance" about it. If our contemporary will kindly outline 8 policy for us to pursue towards these, at times cratic, and at times semi-sensible democrats who are holding offico, why We will
 -do just as we see fit about it,
 While the JOURNAL-M MINER is in line with all good citizens, who de- sire to see a pure and good admin istration of territorial affairs, in con gratulsiihg the territory on the ap-
 Eminent of l.. '. Hughes as gov ernor, 1t does not overlook the fact i that Hon. N. O. Murphy has given i Arizona one of the best adm;p;s+r,
