WHAT DID IT.

The Democracy did not defeat the
Republican party at the late Prcsi-
Dental election. 1t was the Peoples
party which did it. Weaver. not
Cleveland, defeated Harrison. That
Is to say, if the Peoples party had
not been in the field, Harrison would
have beaten Cleveland. If you do
not believe this, examine the returns.
You wall find in addition to the five
CT six States which the Peoples
party wrested from the Republicans,
that in all formerly Republican
States which the Democrats carried,
the Peoples party polled vote
which, added to the Republican vote,
would have easily given them to the
latter party. Now three out of four
Peoples party voters in the northern
States are former Republicans, men
who in lack of third. party ticket
would presumably have voted the
Republican in preference to the Dem
ocratic ticket The inference is that
if the Peoples party had not been in
the field Harrison would have carried
every northern State west of the
Mississippi, would have also held
the lake basin and Ohio basin States,
including Indiana, and been elected. |

THE AYERS CASE.

Inc most remarkable murder case
ever known in annals of California
crime is now being unraveled by the
authorities and newspapers.
The facts so far established show
that GEORGE Jefferys, an engineer
fell in love with Miss Aver, a station
agent at Brighton, and although he
had wife and two children, became
So infatuated with Miss Aver, a tel
egraph operator, that he married
her. Then to conceal the evidence
. of his bigamy, he killed her and
burned the station.
Two witnesses have now came for
ward and stated that Jefferys offered
them money to kill Miss Ayers. 1t
is also shown that the woman who
had the regulation of being a deter
mined old maid offered Jefferys S10,>
900 to leave bis wife and marry her.
This offer is in Miss Ayers hand
writing over her signature, All in
all it is one of those strange cases of
infatuation where human passion
seems to have so dominated the wills
of both parties that they were no
longer controlled by reason or judg-
ment.
Jefferys seems to have used every
endeavor to break the net which en-
closed him, but when in the pres
ence of the woman, he, alt though
strong willed man, was mere child
in her hands.
The question of human affinity,
although scoffed at by the majority
of people, seems to be well illustrat>
ed by these disclosures.
The magnetic influence possessed |
by many people is wei established.
1t draws others 10 them by some
mysterious force, just as the iron
leaps to the magnet.
1t may be that some human beings
are governed by the same law that is
the basis of Edison's duplex telegraph
invention.
He arranges three batteries at each
end of wire. He takes 1000 ohmes
as the standard of measurement and
stores his batteries as follows:
On one side the strength of the
batteries are 500, 500, 400, ON the
other side 200, 500, 600.
Sending three messages over the
same wire at the same time, the cur>
ent from the battery of 800 ohmes
will seek the battery of 200, because
it needs just that strength TO make
1000, the 600 current will fly unerr-
ingly to the 400 ohm battery and the
500 to the 500, irrespective of inter
rupting currents to perfect an cleo
trio equilibrium.
Could science measure the animal
in human beings, it
might be able to show why some
people become attracted to each other
by bonds which defy all law and rea-
son.
Thomas Edison, the greatest living
holds that every atom in
the universe, is the electric complI-
ment of some other atom, and that
there is always an infnitesimal mag
netic current passing between the
TWO, no matter what distance they
may be apart.
There seemed to be hypnotic in
luences which governed Jeffries' ac
lions against his will and he finally
the influence by killing the
origin of it.

The Silver fight is on in the House.
Arizona republican., 1893-03-18
The Weather or Some
 thing was Wrong.
The Defeat Temporary and
 Perhaps Permanent
Of the Mehan Bill to Prevent the Carrying of Explosives on
 Mixed Railroad Trains.

There was more than the usual degree of turbulence in the house yesterday and why it happened no one is able to explain. Perhaps the weather had something to do with it for on other days matters of equal or more moment have been more quietly settled. Any how everything was at criss-cross and what was done was accomplished with much opposition.
 MT. Mehan's bill prohibiting the car rying of explosives on trains carrying passengers was a signal of division. The bill was vigorously fought on the stated ground, not that the bill was particularly prejudicial 10 railroads, but that it would work hardship upon miners and others who require ex- plosives. The bill was defeated, but notice of a motion to reconsider the vote today was given by Mr. Hunt.
 Nearly every measure which offered an opportunity for a dispute was taken advantage of and the deliberations of the house were continued long after the usual hour for go ng to dinner.
 The afternoon session, however, was devoid of interest in the house, the storm having spent itself in the morn ing session and an early adjournment was taken.

A CoIored Higher Critic,

There is refreshing artlessness about the negro preacher who is told of in the New York Observer. He became touched with the "higher criticism" idea, and elaborated a new theory of the exodus, to wit: That the Red sea was frozen over, and so afforded the Israelites a safe passage, but when Pharaoh with his heavy iron chariots attempted to cross he broke through and was drowned. A brother arose and asked an explanation on that pint" Said he: "I'se been studyin' geography, and de geography say dat am de place whar de tropics am, and de tropics am too hot fo' freezin'; de pint to be 'splained is bout breakin' though de ice." The preacher strengthened him. self up, and said "Brudder, Fse glad you axed dat question, for it gives me 'casion to 'splain it. You see, dat war a great while ago, befo' dey had any gographies, and befo' dere war any tropics"

THE POWER OF WATER.
Constantly Working in One Form or An.
 other to Destroy the Land.

Constantly Working in Ore Form or An-
 other to Destroy the Land.
 A southern engineer contributes an article on Geology and the Mississippi Problem" to the Engineering Magazine. In it he says:
 "We find in water the only tireless agent that works in the modification of continents; and instead of being the great renovator of the aand it is pop ularly conceived, it is the great destrov- CT. The destruction of ancient Rome has been attributed to time. But it was due simply to the moisture of the at mosphere working through chemical agencies. It was water, invisible but penetrating the very stones of the wonderful city, that caused her to crumble into ruins, and gave to modern Rome grade greatly elevated above her ancient grade. But it works not alone in the cities and towns. There is not hill on earth that has not been shorn of something of its altitude by this subtitle force, and there is not q mountain on earth, if not fitfully re- newed by volcanic action, that has not
 
 been compelled to lower it's peak be- fore this universal leveler of the ex- alted. It may be a dreadful thought, indeed, but we do not know absolutely that we are not dependent on the earth quake and the volcano for keeping our continental habitat above the level of the ocean; for water not only destroys, but it has the persistency and force to carry off to its burial place in the sea all that it has caused to perish. It may take long time at its task, but, work ing either in it's gaseous, it's liquid, or it's solid form, it seems to be the most persistent thing on earth, never perish ing, and, however divided and invisible at times, always ready to unite it's forces for supreme effort at the degradation of continent"
