MARRIAGE FAILURE OR A SUCCESS
On the question of marriage as failure or
success, the Norfolk Landmark says
"We believe that those who are failure
in marriage are failure out of marriage.
The great error that is made by many men
and women is that they expect marriage to
make of them what they are not-as success.
This is about as practicable as it ia for
youug woman to marry confirmed drinker
or opiun-eater with the idea of reforming
him, or as probable of accomplishment as
for the young man to marry woman in
toxicated with fashion and gaiety and ex-
pect to make her contented and happy as a
wife and mother. The conditions prece-
dent control the success or failure of mar
riage-malriage is mere incident, an i'm
portant one it is true, just as special educa-
tion or the adoption of a profession is. Its
success or failure depends upon affection,
character, honesty, self-restraint, truthful
ness, fidelity, continuity, grip. manliness
and womanliness. Therefore all the discus.
sion about the failure of marriage is mere
smoke. Talk abobt the failure of men and
women, the failure of integrity, the failure
of education, but not about the failure of
an institution which is much more a result
of conditions than cause. Marriage is an
effect, if the conditions and causes from
which it springs are evil or uusound then it
may be a failure-it cannot be, otherwise.
We have no sympathy Or federation for
either the people who chatter about the
failure of m arrisge or those who think they
find it a failure.

and railroad communication west Of

The town Of Yuma was undel water
and considerable damage has been

There is a washout about eight

A considerable portion Of Solomon
vile was washed away and the water
has been a foot deep in Solomon's
tore. Many families are left without
a home.
The water came down the canyon in
which Clifton is situated, last Wednes-
night and fixed the railroad track so
it was impossible to get an engine
across. All of the engines belonging
to the company were in Clifton,
and there has been no railroad COM
m|uuication since. The water went
down, but before repairs could be
made it came again, and washed out
all the the bridges except the iron one,
and took away the approaches to that,
took the depot down stream, washed
out President Shennan's house, and
played the dickens generally with the
town.
President Sherman, with his usual
energy, set men to work making re-
pairs, and has telegraphed to Tucson
for a narrow gauge engine, by the aid
of which it viii be possible to get
