Editor Joseph Medill, whose death occurred at San Antonio last week, was possibly the most prominent journalist in what the east calls '4the west" As an editor in his late years MT. Medill was not in sympathy with his party in many tenets of faith, but he could al ways be depended cn to support the ticket, and his strong individuality and wide influence will be greatly missed by the republicans in the middle and western states. As a great and suc- cessful journalist, his loss to the news paper world will be equally noticeable.

THE TWENTIETH LEGISLATURE

There can be little consolation to the
 democratic party of Arizona in review
 ing the work of the Twentieth legis- lature. The utter failure to carry out
 vaingloricpls ante-election boasts and pledges will scarcely permit our demo- cratic friends to view with compia- cency shattered platform blanks and broken party promises.
 Their loudly proclaimed policy of economy gave way to the most waste full extravaganza, and legislation for private gain seemed to prevail. The democratic statesmen CD at tempted to abolish the board of control board of equalization, capitol site con- mission, loan commission, etc, and succeeded in covering themselves with glory CD by destroying the efficiency of the national guard of Arizona. They passed an imperative and n0ndescript act to abolish the loan commission, which does rot abolish. They hastened to legalize the acts of certain assessors and treasurers in collecting unauthor- ized fees; gave salaries to supervisors,
  to the treasurers of first-c,ass counties deputies at a salary of LOGO per year each, etc, etc. They authorized and paid nineteen extra employees more than the. number allowed by the United States, most of whom were notoriously incompetent. They did nothing to increase the |. portant of all duties. Nor did they cure the conspicuous evils of our cleo ton laws.
 They passed acts dividing the county of Pima and creating the new county of Santa Cruz; providing for codifying and revising the territorial laws; ex- empting reservoirs and canals and ''all ! other property used in the development | of water for mining, manufacturing and development purposes" for term | of fifteen years; exempting railroads I, to be constructed within a certain time | from taxation for term of ten years; | increasing the tax on insurance com panies, and increasing the fees of ter ritorial officers, to be paid by insur- ance companies; providing that a citi- zen of tine territory must first pay a poll tax and hold a receipt therefor before he can vote; providing for the normal school north, situated at Flag staff; appropriating for the completion of the capitol building, and several other unobjectionable laws of minor importance.
 There were many individual mem Oers of unprecedented integIity, who worked conscientiously, and there were other members who, to say the least, deserve severe criticism. While very little vicious legislation succeeded, much was attempted, and much was eft undone which should have been lone for the good Of the territory. So ar as carrying out democratic patty pledges the legislature was a ridicu- ous failure.
