 How often do we hear the word par tisan berated, as though to be a parti- san were something deregatory or ap' prehensible. An honest partisan Is neither more nor less than an honest patriot. None but impracticable dreamers deny the value of parties Tn shaping governmental affairs. The unity ot individuals in a common cause se-indlviduals actuated by com mon purposes and agreeing upon common plane of action for the ad- vancement of those purposes.can alone accomplish anything. Erratic visionaires may clamor against parties and exalt the glories of untrammelled individual effort; but so long as we recruit our voters from the ranks of level-headed people, and not from the lunatlc asylums, or those who seem to be qualifying themselves for such asy- lums men of kindred convictions will band and work together as a party, knowing that in unity there IS strength, and believing the nation $ mot to, "The many in one" (E pluri- bus unum) applies to the unity ofpar- tlsans as well as to the unity of states.
 So long as men will differ in their convictions upon great public ques- tons, just so long will those of uni form convictions be found arrayed against similarly compact body of opponents. It Is good for the country that such is the case. The sharp ri- valry or parties IS the best guaranty of the nations advancement. That party to achieve the greatest good for the pubic veal will have the surest passport to popular favor, therefore no country could tail to be benefited by a competition for the honor of do- ing it the greatest service.

 The West! How few realize the significance of the term, the extent of its resources, or in few years at far thest, the preponderating influence it will wield in national affairs, the wealth it will possess, or the extent of its population. We are often remind ed by our conservative Eastern and English friends of Western exaggera- tien-of our proneness to indulge Tn hyperbole; and yet its actual develop ment has even now outstripped the predictions of the most sanguine en- thusiast. As an evidence of its mar vicious growth, we may mention that on what was known a few years ago as the confines of civilization with a dug-out as the only evidence of set clement, may be foun&clties teeming with an active, pushing, intelligent population, possessing and enjoying all the comforts and cenveniences of a higher modern civilization. Electrlc lights, high schools, churches, street cars, daily papers, hotels, etc, are special features in localities where, within the memory of a young man, the Indian was monarch of all he sur veyed, and the buffalo ranged almost unnolesied. Even the supposed ster- ile American desert has yielded to the demands of civilization, and grain and vegetables grown thereon are shown, which challenge comparison with the best productions from what are known as the older agricultural States. Peo- pied by a go-ahead, ambitious, diff cuIty surmounting element of society denied, by excessive competition or home-cramped surroundings, the op' portunities craved for (which the linn itless growing West alone affords, who brings to tbe1r new field of labor patriotism essentially American, ar enterprise whetted by temporary diff faculties. and the knowledge gleaneC from the experience of an elder world It requires no stretch of the imagina natlen to presume that it affords specially advantageous field alike fol the efforts of these who are willing tt wait for results, and are not afraid 0 manual labor:

Death by Electricity.

Dr. Richardson writes en this sub feet in the Ascleplad as follows: "In
 some researches on the application of the electrIc discharge for the painless extinction of the lives Of animals to be used as food, the details of which 1 recorded in the Medical Times and Gazette for the year 1869, this mode of death was anything but certain in Its effects. Sheep, strIcKen apparently
 into instant and irrevocable death by electricity, after few minutes showed signs of fife, and if they had not been dispatched in the ordinary way by the knife would have been restored to CONSCIOUSNESS. The same fact has been observed in attempts to kill dogs by the electric shock, and 1 once pub lisbed ar instance i'll winch large dog, struck into perfect unconscious ness by the stroke from a powerful battery, was submitted to a surgical operation, while lying, to all appear ances, dead, and was yet so little af
 fected as to make an easy and sound recovery. It need not be inferred from such facts as these that the cleo tric shock will not kill at one dis charge-in most cases It will-but exceptionally, instead of killing out right it will simply stun. and may induce the semblance of death instead of the real event. It will be only common humanity, therefore, for the authorities of New York, when they begin to give the coup de grace by ths electrlc shock, to supplement- the pro, cess by a post-mortem examination ot the victims, so that the act may not be crowned by burying the victims alive.

Water Storage.

If there ever was time at which the necessity of water storage was ap- parent it is now, and it certainly would be a splendid investment for some entsrprising capitalists to organ ize themselves into a company and prepare to husband for future use the abundance of water which floods the country and passes on unused and without profit to the valley. If prep CT reservoirs were constructed and the water stored therein, 1t would afford an ample supply to meet the require ments of the driest season ever known. From parties who are in positions to know, it is learned there are many places along the Salt, Verde and Agna Fria where reservoirs cohld be con- structed reasonably cheap, when the vast benefits to be der1ved from them are considered. During the best sea- sons there are always times when great supply of water is required. With these reservoirs located at con- venient distances, the whole of these valleys could be put under high state of cultivation and such a thing as a failure of crops would be an unknown happening. As to the proGtableness Of such an enterprise there can be no question, and the Gazette does not deem it necessary to discuss this point.-Phenix Gazette.

 A man living near the limekilns has been catching quail in peculiar way. For three weeks he has been spread ing grain in the road near bis place. where quail ground. On the day the law was cut he put wheat in the place as usual, but had previously soaked the wheat in whiskey. Watching the place he saw the quail come cut, eat get drunk. and, in a short time, lie down stupefed. He then went to them and gathered about one hum dred into sack that he earned with him. A few that were not fully drunk were easily caught by his dog. He has practised the same method since successfully.

He Memphis. TcnE., Bridge.

Work on the great bridge which IS to span the Mississippi River at Mem phis, Tenn, has been commenced. The bridge proper is on the cantilever plan, and will consist of a channel span 770 feet in length. This Is said to be the longest single span of the kind ia the world. and its construction Is a difficult piece of engineering. The bridge will also have two spans each 62O feet in length. The bridge will be thlrty-four feet in width, and while only enc railroad track will be used at present, the strength of the bridge will be such that two tracks can be laid. The plans already contemplate a wagon road for vehicles. The bridge will be approached from the west over an iron trestle 5,20O feet in length and an embankment of 1900 feet in length. It will be approached from the east over an iron trestle 1000 feet long and over an embankment. The bridge will be seventy-fve feet above high water mark. The estimated cost is 2,2OO.0O0.

Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
f.Journal-BIiner.)

Visitors to the Grand Canyon of the
 Colorado River, near the northern
 boundary of this county, agree that it
 is one of the grandest sights in nature
 to be seen on the American continent. The walls rise almost perpendicularly from the bed of the Colorado River to a height of over 1000 feet. and stand ing on the summit and lesking down
 on the river, which at this point is
 from one half to quarters of a mile wide, the stream leoksike band of silver stretched along the ground. Owing to the long distance necessary to travel from the railroad to reach seventy-fve miles-there gre compar- atively few people who care to make the trip even to see this wonder of all wonders, and as a consequence the ac- cemmodation provlded fer sight-seers is rather poer, but parties whe have recently returned from there report considerable improvement in progress now, according to Flagstaff exchange. It is situated about mile and halt east of MT. Hance's place, the termi- nus of the wagon road to the canyon, and consists of a huge reservoir, exca- vated and constructed by Philip Hall, Jr., and his brother, at an expense of about $1 GOO; it covers about sixty square rods and averages fourteen feet in depth. The same spot had been used by ye ancients for the same pur- pose some years previous, just how many we cannot say, but hugh mon- archs of the forest had to be cut off the site before the ten feet of mud and and water could be cleared cut. The old wall, consisting Tn the main of original clay and earth, cut into straight and smooth, were plainly vis- ible as the day they were made. The bottom Is en bed-rock-a sleping ledge and nearly all the water running in comes through gravel strata on top of this ledge and does net run over the surface. The Hull boys constructed it to water their sheep from, as this is their winter headquarters. Some day they hope to see a railroad and hotel out there, and say that they have pllsted several Eastern capitalists at different times along the canyon, and that all talked railroad and hotel very strongly. They Say that two different artists have made paintings of thlS section of the canyon, each 10x14 feet, one being sent out by the Pullman Car Company, and we wonder that the people do not make an effort to herald to the world a knowledge of this, probably the greatest natural curiosity on the globe, and certainly holding that position in the United States, by going far, yes, very far, be- yeld anything else in It's vastnsss, sublimity and awful and imposing grandeur. We dare say that not one person in 10000 throughout our en- frightened nation has ever heard of it, aud the information of nest of those who have is so meagre that they have never given it second thought and have no conception of the vastness and and terrible sublimity of its awful depths. Prescott Junction Is the most available point for a railroad to the canyon, and from the terminus of the present wagon road the most beautiful portion of the whole canyon may be viewed. To have railroad from here
 te the canyon will be but natura
 result of advertising its beauties.

The Rio Tiuto Company, which pre- duced about 26.OOO long tons of cop per last year, has just declared an interim dividend amounting to E325,- 900. which means that in the half year it has made profit not far short of s2.5OOO0O, if due provision has been made out of the profits for interest and sinking fund on tue company's bonds, which item amounts to about G140,O00. This Is the property which the Spanish Government could not. work proGtably, and consequently sold to an English company, and this when in the year of sale (l873) the average price of Chili bars was f85 ton and the average price of that and the pre- ceding seven years, during which the poor management of the Spanish Gov ernment found it improbable to work, was f74 los.

The history of popular suffrage IS constantly confirming and demonstra- ting the wisdom of the plan that gives the ballot to all the people. There IS nothing more clear than that ths way to get the majority of men to do right, or try to do right, is to give them free opportunity of cholee, and then apply motives. The masses of men are ln- stinctively patriotic, and they love their country and its institutions; and they love advance and progress. The history of the ballot in thIs country Is the history of security and honesty. The exceptions may be notorious; they are not disastrous, nor of long contln- nance.
