 The JOURNAL MINER makes its pro, found bow to Governor McCord, and congratulates him on his ap- pointmeut, and at the same time cougratulating President Mckinley on the appointment.
 Secretary Wilson is very hopeful of good results from his experiment of shipping American butter to Europe; also of his distribution of sugar beet seeds to twenty thousand farmers. He is firm believer in practical, rather than theoretical ways, of helping out farmers.
 The following presidential ap- pointment were made yesterday: William W. Morrow, of California United States Circuit Judge, Ninth Judicial Circuit; George Morgan Thomas, of Kentucky, Solicitor of Internal Revenue; Passed Assistant Engineer Frank Eldridge to be Chief Engineer.
 The controversy now going on be- tween General McCook and John A. Logan. Jr., seems rather beneath the dignity of those two gentlemen. Logan says McCook was the aggres- sor and accuses him of circulating stories about him until patience ceased to be a virtne, and he took notice of the assertions in language more forcible than polite.
 Unless President Mckinley inter feres. H. C. Hayemeyer, the million aire sugar king, J. E. Searles, also a millionaire, and a member of the sugar trust, will spend a month in the common jail of the District of ] Columbia. These men refused to
 answer certain questions of the com

 The JoURxAL-MNER had an extra ol
 the streets of Prescott within les
 than fifteen minutes after the new was received here, but did not thinI , it worth while to mention the fact as such little feats of enterprise a this are quite common with Ar zona's oldest and best newspaper.
 The Phenix Herald, which ha
 been one of the most active anti McCord papers in the territory, ha
 the following to say in reference t his appointment: "Hon. NJ. H. MS Cord was today nominated for Gov
 ernot of Arizona by President No [ Kinley. The President has exam ined he opposition to NIT. McCor . and has evidently come to the cor elusion that there is nothing in Il ! Mfr. McCord is strong and eticien
 political worker; ons who under
 stands the political situation m tn territory, and who should be able { , harmonize the party which has bee divided for some years. As bus 5 ness man and one well versed l public affairs, McCord is we'll know and much will be expected of hiI
 in the management of terrltori' ? affairs. He will have 1t in bis powe ? as governor, to do much toward th l development of our various II l sources toward maintaining tt credit of our territory, toward as surfing public prosperity. The He ! aid hopes he will use his high othC for the highest and best purpose both in building up his party and
 securing the business prosperity - the people. The Herald congratl d lates Mfr. McCord on his success" Our democratic contemporary ha Y been very active ip its opposition F the appointment of Col NJ. H. NJ, D Cord as governor of Arizona. Go MeCord is a republican from prime $ pie, and as chief executive of il
 territory, will not be influenced ( @ controlled by democrats. or cours .- it is but natural that designin Ii democratic politicians, as well { F democratic papers, should like i- see some one in the gubernatorii e office who could be controlled mol '- or less by that party, for it's 'beneG t hence the bitter fight made again n I MoEDr1 His record and action
