John Burns will be perfectly at home as the next sheriff of Yavapai county. He served one or two terms in that capacity in Montana. In addition to bringing experience to theofiiee be will add dignity to it. also.
 The JOURNAL MINER, in its issue of the early part of July, had the hon. or of first suggesting the name of Col. Brodie for Congress by referr- ing to him as the next delegate to congress from this territory.
 The Phenix Republican tells about a watch, which was stolen from a prominent citizen of Yavapai county about a year ago, being re- covered in Phenix. The owner has been requested to claim hIs prep erty.
 Our contemporary recently re- marked that Col. Brodie was nomin- ated and elected before he knew of it. While intended as sarcasm, the remark will prove prophetic. Some truthful sayings are often made in jest.
 In the JOURNAL MINER's report of the Tritle- Fisher marriage, the name of one young man, who form ed part of the bridal party, was omitted unintentionally. It was that of Tritle Spencer, who officiat- ed as page on the occasion.
 It will take something more sensl- ble than the senseless ''taxless toot- ing" about "gold bonds" ''boodle bugs" "O'Cord McMurphy gangs" "illela al validities," and all such worn out political straw, to frighten voters this year from the support of Col. Brudie and the republican ticket.
 An individual who professes the greatest political foresight and who claims to have been the first to mention the name of William Me Kinley for president, omits to men tion that as soon as Mckinley was nominated he ''fopped" for Bryan. and remained anti-McKinley for nearly two years. He evidently thinks that people have short mem ories.
 Fred. Fl. Breen, supervisor of the Prescott and San Francisco Noun tain Forest Reserves, came in from Flagstaff last evening, and will re- main here several days. Prescott is MT. Breen's headquarters, but since assuming the duties of his position, he has been so busily engaged with his duties around Flagstaff and Williams, that it is his first visit to Prescott.
 NJ. J. Enright and Miss Martha Lane were united in marriage Sat urday evening in this city by the Reverend Father Quetu. The groom is one of the best known mining men in Yavapai county, and in addition to that has great many admirers. His bride is also a very estimable lady who has resided for years on Big Bug, and has be come endeared to large circle friends. MT. and Mrs. Enright en- ter matrimonial life surrounded with many wishes of happiness and prosperity.
 The man who can turn four po- litical somersaults within the space of two years, is certainly a political acrobat worthy of notice. From democracy to republicanism, and then back to democracy within three months, from democracy to populism within the next three. and then from populism to 'I don't know-where-I-am-at" in the next six months and then back to repub- licanism within the next six or nine months is gymnastic feat that few men have accomplished, yet it has been known to be done.
 The JOURNAL MINER has been ad- ding at the rate of from thIee to five names per day to its subscrip- ton list since the meeting of the two republican conventions in Pres colt. As this addition is being made voluntarily and without any it is very gratifying. In many instances the orders are ac- with very compliment ary allusions to the paper as well as with cheering news in regard to the prospects for the success of the re- publican ticket in the various sec tions of the county. The JOURNAL MINER has labored consistently for success in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
