 Grandmother ZuIick is trying
 have to get Hughes out and Zulick
 in as governor. If President Cleve-
 land has any grudge whatever
 against Arizona he might square
 himself by making this change.
 Labor organizations seem to be

 them. Chief Arthur of the Broth
 erhood of Locomotive Engineers is
 said 10 be worth upwards of S1O0.-
 0O0 Powderly is also accredited
 with having made a fortune out of
 the organization of which he was
 the head.
 4 jury at Jacksonville, Florida,
 has rendered 6 verdict acquitting Jim Corbett of prize fighting. The men composing the jury evidently concluded that the brief set to be- tween Jim and Charley was not worth being called prize fight.
 The Examiner says that 'Con- gressman Pence of Colorado is not bigger than 3 healthy lad of l5, but some of the Representatives who have bumped against him would have difficulty in realizing the fact" It fails to state though that the fellows who did the pumping act were able bodied democrats.
 The JoURNALMINER favors a city ticket composed of good men who have the interests of -Eha-ai4y-at heart. It does not favor a ticket composed of meu whose sole aim and purpose is to put this man or that man into office. The selection of officers should be a secondary consideration.
 The Washington correspondent of our contemporary, who evidently writes from a democratic stand point, very frankly admits that the democratic party is incompetent to manage the affairs of the country, and unwilling to redeem its pledges to the people. It says: Ut isn't pleasant, but unfortunately it is true, that the signs of the demo- cratic senators getting together on the tariff question are not as prom ising as they were. They all agree that we must have tariff reform, but | a few of them have ideas which | they have so far refused to be ar gUed out of as to what constitutes tariff reform"
 "If Prescott can only succeed in keeping that fellow Miller out of | jail a while longer, that place will | again resume the lively airs of the times long past for which that re- zion seems to yearn." The above eontemptible little slur at Prescott comes from the Phenix Herald, a source certainlynot expected. Until the shooting of Chief of Police Ar chibald by Constable Miller there had not been a shooting scrspe in Prescott for six or eight years, and when the Herald intimates that ''this region seems to yearn" for ''shoot up" reputation, it libels our people. If some irresponsible tramp writer from the outside had written such a slander it might not have created much comment, but to come from a neighbor and supposed friend, is inexcusable.
 Senator Lodge gave the following IS his reasons for voting against Peckham's confirmation: There were a large number of protests against Mir. Peckham's confirma- ion and a great deal of serious testimony as to his not possessing he proper judicial temper, of which lis dispatch to Judge Caldwell re- in violent language an 'rder of the court was an unfortu- !, late example. But that which weighed more against him with me vas the manner in which patronage 7 appeared to be used by the admin stration in the attempt to secure 7otes for his confirmation, joined with the exertiou apparently with s every sort of influence ofwhich the | head of the government was capa- V Die. cannot conceive of anything worse or more demoralizing than to F nave confirmation to office secured !, oy appointments to other offices or I by threats of removal. Against |, such methods 1 propose always to s, protest and vote in accordance with fl my conception of plain public l, 1uty." N
