IT is entirely in harmony with the
 past course of the Star to see It now posing as the champion of pure, un-
 adulturated and straight laced Dem-
 ocracy 1t must be source of
 infinite amusement to the uDterrifled
 of Arizona when they look back
 over the consistent ?)career of Hugh es. Four years ago, when our towns~
 man Ivy H Cox was on the Demo. cratic ticket for Supt. ot Public In~ structlon, the .Stor bolted the nomi- nation and placed al the head of it's columns the name Of NJ. H. Sher~ man, the Republican nominee. Two years ago when Judge Porter made the race against Oury, the Star of- fered, for q consideration, 10 support the former and throw Oury over- board. These are samples of Hughes Democracy. His paper has been re- pudialed by the leaders of the party in lS------7-z7J1.z1Jy- 5srisbSis sY3tE- out a political friend to support him or, political principle to animate him. He IS an Ishmaelite, with hls hand against every honest man. Sordid, mercenary, vaccilatIng un- principled and unreliable, his course is more an subject tor pity than crit> icism. Coin is the only aim and gain the only god that he worships. And this is the man who assumes to speak for the Democracy of Ari, zonal We say assumes, for we know that his barking has about as much effect as that of dog baying the moon. Poor Hughesl His Star which for some time past has twink led dimlY, is about to touch the hor> izon. When it shall set forever, the Democratic party will be relieved of an incumbus they have long tried to shake of. Every honest and les gitimate enterprise in southern Ari- zena will be the gainer, and decent and honorable journalism can well exclaim, for this relief, much thanks.

THE Tdtzfags is decidedly of in it's article on the Maricopa railroad bill, and it's article is the evidence that the matter has been misrepre- sented to that journal There is a petition in existence to-day, which contains the names of almost every business man h the valley, asking that tie railroad bill be made law in the shape in which it became law, and without the clause requir- ing a vote. There is no law propos~ ing to punish the supervisors if they fail to issue the bonds, and the article of the 7'a0tngs shows the lie on the face of it, when after making such statement there is added that a commission is provided for to issue the bonds. It would scarcely require common sense to perceive the incongruity and inconsistency of such set of provisions in the
 bIll.

Eastern weather.

A correspondent Of a Michigan pas
 per, writing from k'nnesota, thus
 describes the late cold weather at
 Minneapolis:
 Twenty-eight to t'airty degrees be- low. Bahi that's ice cream and mint tulip weather up in this country.
 Mercury frozen solid and the spirit hasn't had spirit enough to crawl up out of the bulb of our thermometers since the mid- de of December, except once. A week or so ago the wind goi around into the soueast by sou three quarter sou' and the spi t did get up enough spunk to crawl Up to thirty degrees below. And, oh my what time! All ths old women ii lHe city went to cleaning house, all the boys were out playing marbles and the river was SO full of bathers that naviga- tion was impeded for several hours. The linen duster, straw hat and palm leaf fan trade was simply immense. Fifteen cases of sunstroke within sight of my office window and the tin roof melted off the court house. But more serious disaster than all caused by this sudden freak, was averted by the prompt action of our iiremen. During the cold weather and on Christmas day the Academy of Music was burned. The flames leapt into the air fifty feet, a gust of wind struck one of them, broke It into fragments, the fragments frozo solid and fell onto the roofs of adia- cent buildings. When this sou east by sou three quarter sou wind struck them they thawed out and set the roofs all on fire. 1 tell you it looked dark for Minneapolis about that time. Why it was so cold on Christmas that regular old fash> toned Jonathan Edwards orthodox sermon, two hours and forty minutes long, didn't make the least impress ion on the frost on the windows ot our Presbyterian church here. If we could only have had that place here, which we hear 50 much and know so little, on that day, we could all have put on our fur overcoats and gone skating on solid birthstone.

Democratic doctrine sadly mismans
 aged by the Democratic party. It
 appoints both Republicans and De,
 moerats 10 office, doctrine where at
 both parties hold up their hands in
 holy honor. Why all this? There
 is a new party at the helm. Call it whatwe may; paint it white, or black, or rcd there is a new house under the pant whatever the color The chief executive of this nation at the head of this new party seems to be just the man for such a place, for such emergency. He seems to know what he knows and proposes
 that he will not be the tail of the dog to be wagged at will. He pro poses to be deg. himself and the De- mocratic and Republican parties must be the tall or he will have no tail. Now among these two old parties he has a vast number of ad> mirers who are ready to drop the old party habilaments as having served their time and to put on the new dress as most conductive to the and health of lhe nation. The new party has it's haste and fol> lowers.

THAT bright little paper, the Ta1 fngs, is doing up the Star in good shape. Private advices from Tucson state that the respectable people of the town have become disgusled with the venal and mendaeious course of Up. h." and are giving their support and patronage to the honest manly and outspoken journal con- ducted by Harry Brook. It is only a question of very short tlme when Hughes creditors must throw up the sponge.

IF an edItor omits anything, he is lazy. If he speaks of things as they are, people are mad. If he smooths down the rough points, he is bribed. If he calls things by their proper names he is unfit for the position of an editor. If he does not furnish his readers with jokes, he is a mullet If he does, he IS a rattlehead-lack- ing stability.

Is it not about time for the old
 Democratic and Republican parties to tumble to the fact that nel0 parS ty has control of the government? To be sure it took the reins of office under the name of the Democratic party and would never have got these but for the socalled portion of the Republican party. But the men who now are at the head of govern ment affairs are neither Democrat nor Republican as those terms have
 been known in a party sense for the past forty years. Old things have become new, before they knew it. The party now in power is not re- juvenated Democratic party. 1t holds to-day. as represented by Cleveland, Phelps and Manning to no single doctrine of ancient Democracy. It insists on the civil service method of doing things, Republican doctrine sadly neglected by the Republican party It sits down on free trade. a
