THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

The situation of the Democratic party is one to excite commiseration in the hardest heart. The acknowledged leader, Mir. Thur man, can no longer be depended on for the reason that he has suffered certain defeat in the Ohio election. and will soon be retired to private life by tue election of MT, Gar field as his successor in the United States Senate.
 Besides in following the leadership of MT. Thurman, they have committed blum ders from which as party they cannot hope soon to recover. Their coRsternation is such that they hardly know which way to steer the Democratic ship. They are in waters which have never been charted, and the salvation of the ricke,y old craft is a n. alter of very great uncertainty to the crew itself. If they head in the direction of Bourbon Democracy they find themselves sailing against tide which flows north ward with such turbulence that the rusty machinery is unequal to the strain. If m "PpOsite Couise thcg aio SeAe"'" so A~NN high on the bOach. If midway between they try to reach the open shorelesssea ofun' limited currency inhapon. there stands in their way the adamantine rock of hesump- ton. Verify no mariners ever found them selves so absolutely without harb"r of safety as these political seamen. They seem not only to be without definite course but there is no competent man to put at the wheel. "Give me another star" said boy at the helm who was told by the officer to head for a certain point in the heavens, "I have sailed past this one." So comes out of the political night the cry sf the Demo cratic mariner now.

A Western Incident.

Tue Silver Belt in commenting on the MINERS remarks concerning the dry con dition ot the streams ot Arizona aud New Mexico. says:
 The Arkansas river, in Kansas, where the old "Saata Fe ana Independence tIail' threaded its banks, was also dry in 63 Freighters and others were obliged to dig for water in its bed. At the mouth f N ai. nut creek there was q small pool of water. but no where else on the route along the Arkansas. That year Mack Morris, Eugene Leitzendorffer and the writer were travelling rom Las Vegas, N. M., to El Paso, vla the Fort Stanton route and were as dry as a chip, had been so for many weary hours and felt that something must be done or 1" pass in our checks" An earnest consul tation was held and nothing definitely ar- rived at until Leitzendorffer suggested pray. CT, and as that mode of procedure, even in an extremity, was new to the party, it was not immediately accepted as last resort, and when agreed upon, the question as to who was to petition the throne of grace, presented itself. LeitzendUrffvr was wiling, nay, anxious to do anything in his power to relieve us from our dilemma, but unfortun- ately his religious instruction hau been simply confined to making the sign of the cross, therefore, it was concluded that he would not do. Hackney was next suggest ed, but he, though early taught to recog- nize the efficacy of prayer, had a swollen tongue, and could not artIculate, and for that reason, he was not urged to the front. Mack Morris was then appealed to, to save us from dying for want of water, Lut his religious education had not been such as to fit him for the performance of so momen- tous task he had not even been to Sun- day school and all that he had. to recon mend hIm was beng the son of pious mother, and 1t was thus that Ou. fate hung tremblingly in the balance. when Mack re- marked he had heard his mother say ask, and II shall be given you" and if you will but stop the ambulance, we will hold a prayer meeting right here and l will lead, The vehicle was stopped and Mack stepped revel eutly to the ground, when immediate | ly in front of him he discovered the jaw bone of an oY sticking in the ground, on which was hand pointing to the mouth of canyon and the words, Water up this canyon, c. W. Beacn.m Thus ended our | first prayer meeting on that dry route. - Beach's index finger saved us, for we found water up tie canyon as stated, and in sub sequent conversations as to how dry we were then. we have never tailed to recog- nize Beach as our temporal 6aviopr.s The above is neither fiction nor implety, but we'll founoed on facts.

AN OLD CITY.

Right here, where Prescott now stands, can be traced the walls of an ancient city
 and if we are to judge from the wearing down of mountains and the covering Of earth that has almost hidden the buildings from being traced, we should say that many thousands of years have passed and gene since the people who once inhabited a prosperous city, where now stands Pres colt, the most beautiful village in Arizona, toek their departure or became extinct. That a large and flourishing city once ex- isted here there can be no doubt, as the evi- dences are proof positive, and deny contra diction. Very often, relics are taken from excavations of great depth, and we are in- clined to believe that the former inhabi- tsnts of Arizona were a curious but a some what civilized race. Again, the gcologist sr antiquarian have a rich field for study in Arizsna, for go where you may, you are continually treading on the homes and graves of a race of whom nothing IS known, ether than that they lived in houses and had lsrge buildings of worship.

We sish our Moruae1 citizens in nArizona well in sverythiBg that nrlsiss to fheir pros psfily snd saecess n building ap eonf.rt- abe homes We would even encourage them iH tbeir immigration to oar Territory. becaase. as a rule, they are peaeesble, indus rriols ciiixens, who improve the face of every country In which they settle. They esa come nearer making farms on bArfsn rocks and ia desert sands. than any other people. Resioes that no9thsr people could reduce to state of ferulIty and beauty, they make very garden of delight snd the home Of plenty.
 When the Mormon leaders were going down into Salt Lake Valley some thirty yesrs ago. they were told Oy old cApsaia Bndger. that he would pay them hundred snd fifty dollars for every ear of corn they xould produce in the valley. Bat there .isnds the besuiiful city aud vide sxpanse of farms on the margin of sAlf Lake, and an the hanks of the Jordan River as the re- sult of slseir marvellous industry and ener. gefic deserminauon- All this is commend able and praireworthy. and for these ad- .nirable qualities they are very desirable a citizens, and their coming can be encour- aged. Bat there Is one feature of their sys lem which Is not only undesirable, but n

 the same time recognized part of th'
 United States as a community. Would
 not be clearly the duty of the Goyernmen 10 interfere. Not only would the Govern
 ment recognize its duty in the case but th civilization of the nineteenth century woul'
 imperaiively demand the suppression of th
 practice.
 Polygamy is not only violation of th , laws of the United States, but it IS at vari } ance with the foundation principles O Amencap social life. It is vile relic 0 barbarism. and WAS invented by the Mormel
 leaders as a defense fer licentiousness. l

BRADSHAW TO oIL4-Err.

The last session of our Legislasure sppfo- prissed 0,e00 for the opeairg of psblie highway between Bradshaw City sad Gi!- lett. Bonds to that amount were issued ln accordance with the act and disposed Of to San Francisco at discount Of ;5 per esnt Commissioners were appointed 10 see that the road was built and the money properly expended. Six miles of the road had pre-. viousIy been built by the Tptop Company commencing at Gilleit and runniag to ths shoot, or within four miles of the TipioI mine. The commissi0ners.s same days sinee. commenced the construction of the routr. taking up where the TiPtop Company hA0 left of, and we are informed by many citi zens of this county that the gap between the shoot Gsd the Tiptop minv, dis tance of four miles, sill be completed witi the Seo,000 in boads appropriated by th' liberal Legislature. Thus we are taxed t build four miles of road. The span be tween GilIett and Bradshaw Is to be lef just about the same as though DO money bad been appropriated Tor building Toad. "' were always under the impression that good road could not bc built with sh' appropriation, still, VIC did think and shall continue to think that road, ove' which light vehicles could have been con ductcd, might have been made with the money, and VIC do not believe that 4 miiei of road for s20,0oO, is going to suit the tax payers of Yayapai County, and unless square deal is made, the bonds may be re pudiatcd, and those whosquander the money made to put up for misappropriating Twenty thousand dollars iudiciously cx pended would have went far toward open ing the public highway between the point designated in the law. Again it will b' remembered that there were men who ofiere' to give bonds and construct the entire roa' for the money appropriated.
