No DOUBT the Democracy feels sure of a complete success this fall but it only shows how, sometimes, intelligent peo- pie can be gulled by fallacies. They never have convention but that it ends up in kilkenny cat fight, ard somebody goes away with nipped am bition and guile in his heart. This is Democracy, and one thing is conclu- sively shown by it, viz., ''that office and the emoluments thereof is the one prime object of Democratic candidates. Yesterday morning the expon ent of Democratic fai tn in this country, the Gazette, raised the cry of "job' "bosses" and with it's early beginning the Republicans may rest assured of a brilliant success in the fall elections. The Democratic majority upon which they are relying will be nowhere when the people get another pass at the ringsters,

TIE LARGE number of people coming into Arizona at this for the purpose oI looking over the country with view to settling, is very encouraging as they also seem to go away fayorably inn pressed and with the svowed intention of returning. Many of them have re- turned already and others will come.
 People from the outside IS what we want though we want to keep those we have, at the same time. This matter of trading jack knives with each other is good as long as it lasts, but every ef- fort to secure the investment of foreign capital should be put forth and me ct with the hearty support of all.

THAT Democrats fear the arguments of Governor Mckinley ia manifest in their anxiety to have him return to Ohio to attend to official business.
 While James E. Campbell was gover- nor of Ohio he spent the greater part of his time in New York looking after pri. vate business, and the Democrats did not miss him from his post of duty. But when Governor Mckinley takes a short vacation from his official duties in August, and makes q few speeches up in Vermont and Maine, the Buck eye Democrats want him to return to sign requisition on the governor of h. diana for chicken thief. It is pleas ant to know that the Democrats miss Mckinley when he is away from home. It shows that they appreciate Repub- lican in the executive office.

THERE has been consultation" and consternation, and hurrying to Gray Gables the past week, such as the bug zards have never before seen. Tn ere are indications that there is something loose in the stufiiug of the "stuffed prophet" The Sun alone of the Demo. cratic organs seems to enjoy the situa. ton. In kind of "l told you so" way the Sun says of the disgruntled condi- ton at headquarters: "Mr. Harrity's blue eyes looked heavenward for re- lief, and Mir. Whitney pulled his gold. trimmed glasses down over his nose and gazed quizzically through them. The Mugwumps announced that Mir. Har- rity's literary bureau was preparing a statement in reputation of Mir. Peck's report. Neither Mir. Harrity nor any of his associates has direction any such programme"

TODAY's LITERATURE.

Has it ever occurred to you that the literature of the Nineteenth century if found in the newspapers? Whether il has or not it is true just the same. few years ago the newspaper was only supposed to be retailer of gossip and to set forth a very light branch of liter. ature. Today everything that is worth publishing appears in the newspapers The Sunday editions of the great dailies contain the latest criticisms on art, the most profound dissertations on theology brilliant and cutting essays, the gems of modern verse, and the flowers of fiction, which is afterwsrd passed upon by the greatest critics of the aye. What an i'm. menss, in foot, boundless field has jour. nalism, and how should its great infiu. ence be wielded for the best?

 Mir. Boutwell, says:
 With the experience of a century fin mind we arc forced to look upon the electoral col lego scheme as 1t was then understood, as m amiable delusion, but still delusion.
 In theory tho colleges of the several states were to bo composed of persons not pledged so party or to candidates, and who, with & clear ness of vision undimmed by venal or low con- siderations, wero to survey the whole field and call to the high places of state the truly great and eminently worthy of the land.

Can Come from the same State.

Can Conie rom the same State.
 Hon. George $. Boutwell, writes in the Boston Globe to show that there is noth- ing in the United States constitution to prevent president and vice president from being residents of the same state. This document declares only that the electors in their respective states shall vote for president and vice president, one of whom shall not be resident of the same state with themselves. Even If the country wanted president and vice president from the same state, the difficulty could be got around by the electors from that state simply emitting to vote, and leaving those from the other states to vote for the nominees.
 But the provision in the constitution imposes no limitation whatever on con gress as to whom it shall vote for in case Of failure to choose by the electoral col lege. The house is simply directed to choose for president one of the three persons having the highest number of votes for president, while the senate is directed to select a vice president from the two candidates having the highest number of votes for vice president. Thus there is absolutely nothing to pre- vent the Democratic house from elect ing Mir. Cleveland president and the Re- publican senate from choosing Mir. Reid as vice president. It would be some thing new to have a president and vice president of different political parties, but it would not be unconstitutional, and the wheels of time and government would still roll on.
 Mr. Boutwell, calls attention to the fact that the country has drifted quite away from tho political intentions cs

between learning language by the natural method and learning it out of books, which is not acquiring it at all. The natural way is by using the ear and tongue, and in no other way will any human being ever be able to talk for eign language, though he pore over grammar and dictionary a century.
 This great truth is beginning to be recognized. Professor Schliemann mas tered Greek by reading it aloud and ac- customing his ear to the sound of 1t. Then when he went to Greece he under stood the common talk. Professor Blackie, of Edinburgh, in five months became as familiar with German as with his native tongue simply by going among Germans constantly, listening to the sound of their talk and initiating it. The new method of learning foreign language is exactly the method of 8 child when it first begins to speak. Five months of faithful work by this plan will enable anybody to become familiar with foreign tongue. In this great age of the intermingling and fraternity of nations every person ought to speak at least three languages.

Not only does this great country sup ply Europe with bread, but it is now go- Ing to supply it with fruit. The flying steamer Majestic took the first load of California fruit across the ocean to Eng land recently. The luscious pears and peaches were shipped in refrigerator cars across the continent from Califor- mia to New York, thence to refrigerators in the great steamers hold and on to England. When the packages were opened they were in good condition and the fruit was sold at auction in London. It does not seem as if the fruit raising business would be overdone in Califor- mia yet awhile.

An electric wagon, run by storage battery, has appeared in Chicago. It might be useful and available, and may yet be, but there is the same old trou- ble. The battery which generates the electricity, and which must be hauled about in the wagon, weighs ton--as much as one of the largest of draft horses. At present the motive power costs as much to maintain as pair of horses, so there seems no advantage except the greater cleanliness and more room in the streets. When shall we have an economical and convenient way of getting electric power? The stored battery for vehicles would come near the mark if it could be made cheap and of light weight.

Gladstone.

Once more that fine old Tory, Queen Victoria, has had opportunity to display her high spirited temper by snubbing Mir. Gladstone and the Liberal party, just as she did in 1880, when Gladstone succeeded Disraeli to the premiership. Gladstone was prime minister from 1868 till 1874, and again from 1880 till 18S6 The term on which he is about to enter will therefore be his fourth one in this great office.
 Should he survive in good health and with undiminished intellectual power the disturbances and excitement incident to the changes of the next few months, there is no reason why he should not go on peacefully until he sees the actual accomplishment of that which he declared in his first speech to the new parliament had been his "pri- mary and absorbing interest" for seven years-home rule in Ireland. He stood the almost unparalleled fatigue and ex- citement of the late political campaign fairly well, and his opponents were doubtless grievously disappointed to hear him speak in the new house of commons for one hour and quarter without break or quaver in his voice.
 Often an absorbing purpose keeps q person alive for years, when otherwise he would die. The prospect of at last getting home rule for Ireland will be an inspiration of health and vigor to the aged statesman. There seems no occa- sion to apprehend that he will faint be- fore he reaches the goal
