 Marshal :. Williams, appointed associate justice of the territory to succeed Judge Sloan, is at present district attorney of Maricopa coun- ty. Attorneys here who know him say he is fine gentleman and good, sound lawyer.
 \ Kentucky vendetta occurred the other day in which only one man was killed. When two armed factions meet in the Bluegrass state with such slight results as this, the meeting is considered failure. Ii is true that several others were wounded, but that don't count in Kentucky.
 Statesman Morgan R. Wise and Statesman C. Meyer Zulick are representing Arizona in the United States Senate on behalf of state hood. What a brilliant pair this is to advocate anything before honest and intelligent men. And yet the prospect seems good for the Arizona admission bill to pass the Senate in spite of them.
 It is a duty that the board of trustees owes to the community to see that the special school tax, if the election carries in favor of it, is collected with the least possible expense to the district. The only objection yet heard against it has been that judging from past expe- rieuce some individual will be paid several hundred dollars to collect the tax.
 Tt IS announced that democratic senators will refuse to allow any hearings on the tariff bill. They are no doubt in the same frame of mind as the Arkansaw justice who announced to litigants in his court that they might introduce all the testimony they wished, but the mind of the court was made up in regard to the case.
 Elsewhere in this issue will be Found a beautiful but merited tribute to the late Geo. W. Childs, than whom, a greater philanthropy ist, or nobler man has not been produced during the present cen tury. Although a private citizen the death of MT. Childs was national loss. The article in ques- tion is from the pen of e1-Chief Justice J. H. Wright.
 They seem to have made dis covery in Washington, recently, which was known all over the coun- try before, but which seems of sufi- cient importance there to telegraph abroad. IL was the definition of a democrat, "a reform democrat, so called. \ democrat is one who be- lieves in free trade in everything except what affects hIs own per sonst interests. He believes in high protective tariff for that par ticular industry. 4 democrat who has no ax of his own to grind is an out and out free trader.
 Mark Smith has won his first victory with the present administra- ton in securing the appointment of Jake Marks as receiver of the land office at Prescott. The Hon. Mark has had candidate for every posi- ton in the territory, but in every in- stance thcv havc failed to be recog- nized by the department. As a matter of fact, our delegate has not carried much weight with the ad- ministrstion. The appointment of his candidate as receiver was due iargesy to the fact that circum- stances favored him, and such being the ease it seemed at least a sem blaDce of courtesy to the Arizona delegate 70 appoint his candidate. It was in reality the man himself and not the delegate that secured tho appointment.
