EDITORIAL NOTES.
r.n col Wilson withdrawi

necessary.
 Col. Wilson has the opportunity of his life now to demonstrate ms political sagacity by withdrawing from the congressional race.
 They have a head of a woman at Bridgeport, Connecticut, which has b cen identified as belonging to s'H different women who are missing.
 The voters of the country will show their confidence in the rePub- lican President and administration by increasing the republican majori- ty iu the House.
 al will be ,icklcd to death that did not get the nomination, II you fellows put up Col. Brodie," was the remark of one of the prominent candidates before territorial demo cratic convention.
 The more prominent the truth IS made about every movement of the war. the greater credit will be given to President Mckinley and his able management.
 The sooner tho eminent gentle men selected by President Mckin- lev to investigate the entire con duct of the war conclude their work. the sooner will the sensation mongers have to take to their holes.
 The territorial republicans have
 recognized the gallant Rough Riders
 by selecting Col. Brodie as their
 standard bearer, and he will make
 as brilliant a charge against the dilapidated democracy of Arizona
 as did his noble band of heroes at La Quisina and Santiago.
 Admiral Cervera dropped hint in
 Washington that after the treaty oi } peace was concluded Spain would like to buy, for cash, the Mauser
 rifles We captured during the war. As this government will have no
 use for the guns, there seems to be no valid objection to selling them , back to Spain.
 r There are only two parties this . year. One is the republican party ' the party of progress ever since its 1 birth, and the other the democratic party, the party of obstruction aud fault finding. The former is now T divided and enthusiastic; the latter
 is worked up over internal dissen' ] sions and lacking m enthusiasm. Our democratic friends are just , now engaged ia a frantic effort tc convince Col. Brodie that he is s
 democrat and not republican al
 all, and hence cannot accept the nomination for delegate. or course
 they are just now very nice and sweet to him in the hopes that be will not assist in their defeat.
 Democrats who expect to be land ' ei into office this year on the bacl I of that ''gold bug" shout. will b, disappointed. Voters are not sc e densely ignorant as some demo l cratic orators and writers affect t' ,- believe.
 0 Col. Brodie IS being as roundl! D abused now 0y democrats and dem
 cratic papers as he was praised {
 short time since. He IS just as gooC
 a man and as good citizen as h. eyer was, and abuse of him, nov = that he has been nominated for del l. egate to congress will have no ef f feet on voters. They understand }, the object of it, and if influenced al :: all by such tactics, will be inauen Q ced in bis favor.
 Tine Flagstaff Gem rises to remarl ' that "The mass of the people prefe statesmen to warriors. Major Brodl We presume, has a military educa ton, and may make a good militar. officer, but he would be out of plac -' in congress-" IT any one has eve accused Col. Brodie's opponent o
 being a statesman we have neve '- heart i'. As to Col. Brodie's beiD, . out of place in Congress he will b at hone in any body of intelligen II men where Col. Wilson would fee
 at ease.
 France may not experience a rev
 olution at arms over the Dreyfus af
 fair, but the indications are that sh ,- will experience one of the greates e political aud social upheavals eve a witnessed in that country. As ne' :" light is shed upon the affair thrOugl 2 tbe confessions of those who partiC r. ipated in the Dreyfus affair, it be k comes more and more apparent tha e his trial and conviction was one 0 a the most damnable, diabolical plot
 ever enacted iu a civilized country l. Yavapai democrats are very pro 3. fuse in their praise of the late Cap l. tain O'Neill and the Rough Rider: r. but no other recognition was give a of them, except the passing of e meaningless and insincere resolution l. iu regard to them. Now that tw b of them have been placed in nomIn -s ation for official positions by tn s republicans, the insincerity of tn e democracy in passing those reso f lutions is coming to the sur !. face, as they are doing all il e their power to discredit their candi J. dacy. The tactics are so plain tha t they disgust the intelligent men 0
 their own party. The difference be
 tween the two parties is, that tn II republicans, Tn praising the bray IL soldiers from Arizona. who achieve,
