OUR would be Democratic cotem> porary has put on it's war paint
 brandishcs its little ax furiously, dances on one leg, turns contoEted
 summersaulis, whoops and yells in
 fiendish rage, and says "the Repub> licans have thrown down the gaunt- let" and it is going to annihilate the whole party. Keep on your shirt,
 ncighbor, it's not very clean any
 way, and the neither garments might have holes ID th,m.
 "The Republicans have thrown down the gauntlet" Indeed? Does our fast and furious seeker for Dem> ocratic favor remember that the par ii ans of the party il is trying to inn pose itself upon dug up and tried to besmirch tue character of the dead Garfield at iIs ratification meeting in July-stooped, hyena like, to des- ecrate the grave of as pure man as ever breathcd the free air of Amer> iea? Does il not not know that it invites an examination of the record of the party every time it publishes its county platform? Does it not know the record can not be inyesti- goted without o1enIng up charnel house that we do not believe the public is much interested in? But when d party as in the case of "a man, is dared to do a thing, it is likely to be done, even though il should of fend the nostrils of those who make the banter. IL looks just little in> consistent that the 'dare" should be thrown out and such an awful howl of despair and frenzy raised ill the party by its attempted driver who seeks 10 stir up old and buried bit ternesses to make itself "solld" with the party to which it sold itself.

THE ARIz0NA CANAL.

The greatest ehterprlse ever un-
 dertaken in Arizona is now ap~
 preaching completion without os> tentation, but with persistent energy and the expenditure of upwards of
 half million Collars. The Arizona Canal Company, within twenty-two months, have cut channel twenty> six feet wide at the bottom, with
 banks seven and a half feet deep with a slope out wards of one and half feet to one foot in depth, and forty miles in length, whereby the waters of the Salt River may be conducted around the outside of this valley and emptied into the Agua Fria, and this gigantic undertaking is now nearly completed, so quietly that our people seem to faIl to real> ize the magnitude. of the great work. The work has never stopped nor Jagged since It was commenced.
 Hurdleds of men and mules have been employed and many carloads of powder have been used in the construction But while this work ln itself is very great, far beyond the comprehension of any who have not studied it, yet the great effect it
 will have upon our beautiful valley cannot well be over estimated. The canal will furnish water to reclaim upwards of one hundred thousand acres of land and water power to drive enough mills and factories to creale d ely by its borders, and water for this city, under pressure of 130 feet for domestic, municipal, and fire purposes. IL IS not too much to say that it will entirely now existing here. This city aud the valley on this side of the river will be guaranteed the permanent use of the waters of Salt River, and the guarantee IS sufficient to insure the most rapid developm ent of the whole valley; the construction of a branch railroad for an outlet, and the erection of reduction works for all kinds of ores; the building of extensive wine cellars, beer vaults, pork packing establishments, fruit canneries, and sugar mills. The soil and climate will insure prosper fly and all that follows in the wake of prosperity to a population of fifty thousand people. We pre- dict that thIs will be the great city of the extreme southwest, and this prediction is supported by ;he facts. There is no other P -ce possessing equal advantages of geographical location and natural resources ID the whole country west of the Mis- souri river. .

AN editor is q fellow that listens

AN editor is fellow that listens patiently to the woes and troubles. the mplaints and advice of a whole community-listens quietly, says ''yes," and continues to thInk as he pleases and 10 conduct his pa- per as he pleases. And yet he will be condemned by individuals who have. unasked, unburdened their private troubles and opinions to him, because he didn't insult them by telling them just what he really thought of them, or tickle theIr vanity by taking up their petty affairs as subjects for lcng editorial and vltuperous vindi- cation of private squabbles and per- sonal heartburnings, The editor has to deal with matters of putlic inter> est, Of public affairs, and concerning the public welfare, and needs only to touch upon individuals as they in some way connect themselves with public affairs Sometimes it is not only Tn his province but is his duty to condemn, and again it his duty to applaud.
 He sees the weaknesses and foibles the trickery and egotism displayed in all their peculiar colors, daily, almost hourly, and what a sensation he would create if he were to say what he knows to be facts. What volumes he could write of the inner life of men and of society. He has strong onvictions-cannot avold having them and probably in ninety nine cases in hundred understands the secret and hidden motives of men in a way that would sta-tle them did they suspect that his per, captive faculties are as active as hls exterior is calm and apparently quiescent.
