owing to its holding out 80 much longer than

THE DEMOCRACY.

The present outlook of The National
Democratic Party is no. pregnant With
probabilities of future victories. It
seems, en- the other hand, that the
party, or. rather. its representatives in
Congress, is counting population BY the
srals,demoeratie masses and consequent
ddefeaI and ddi.istegration. TheDemo-
cratic Party has reached another crisis
in its own history; aud it remains yet
within the power Of our representatives
to meet the crisise,in democratic and
sta.esms1ike manner, seize the oppor-
,unity presented and make the party
an instrument of untold benefit to the
people of the lard. But they are
fri..ering away the time. allowing the
favored moment te psss unntilised
and disappoinsm eus. dis'sass aud resent.
ment are beginning to take the place OF
the entire confidence reposed in the
Democratic majority one year ago. As
We said above, the majority can yet regain
the confidence of the people, but the
redemption of the party can be wrought
only by means Of works relieving US
from the burdens left by the Repab-
licans.
The people repadiated the Republican
party by an overwhelming vote and
committed the eusire government into
the hands Of the Democracy. But this
~ssdeae With certain clearly implied
Democratic platform
and wien these conditions are not full
filled the party will prove itself recreaut
To- The trnst imposed in it, and, will be
repudiated. If the Democrats Of Con-
4eress sssrevsoa soabe4sabsersient to. o.the-pro,.
tected classes aud fail to give Us relief
thsDsne must in|self defence get ridof
them and elect new men who will have
some respect for the pledges of the
party they claim to represent. A thor
ough overhauling Of the party will be
necessary, or the true democrats Of the
nation will Snd themselves in the same
position as the true democrats of South
Carolina now occupy, that of afhliation
With an organization non-democratic IN
every respect save that Of name. They
will have either to repudiate the fore
sworn representatives aud purify the
party OF leave it.
There are many of the Democratic
Con gressmeu who are laborlug to carry
out their pledges and earnestly desire the
enactment of laws for the relief of the
country, but they 6ud themselves ham
pered by other so-called democrats who
have either gone bodily over to the
enemy, OF absent themselves and allow
the Republican minority to dominate
the situation. One class is as untrue
to the party aud the people who elected
them as the other. The first are open
deserters. while the others are cowardly
skulkers, and both should be held
accountable at the polls. They are
using the surest means within their
power to wreck the Democracy and they
do SO knowingly, for they are we'll
aware that the party as whole will be
held accountable for the unredeemed
pledges, whose redemption was pre-
,ontod hv the desertion Of the party.

barons. He desires strict construc-
ton Of the party platform in respect to
the tariff, and asserts that it would be
better for all parties if this view should

how it would be possible to secure to
such tariff measure the support OF

REVOLT, dissention, factionaI fights and so on is the rule in the Democratic camp this year. The agony is over in South Carolina, and the opponents of the Tillman faction met and adjourned thelr convention without nominating 8 state ticket. They labored long and up. roariously, and after three delegations walked out the convention concluded not to nominate an independent ticket The solid south is not as solid as it was once upon a time.

discovered.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN
 The lines are sharply drawn between the contending forces in the congres- sional campaign in Arizona this year. On the one side the can dldate presented by the Repub- licans stands for peace, plenty and prosperity. On the other stands the candidate of the Democracy for desola- tion, degradation and despair.
 Repu blican principles mean the best interests of all the people and general prosperity of the whole country. These principles advocated in congress have always resulted in the continued well fare of every citizen in whatever condi- tion of life he might be. A quarter of a century of good government, content ment and happiness to the people and prosperity to the nation is the record of Republican principles carried out in congressional action.
 Democratic principles, as advoc ated by the man who leads that ticket in this territory, mean idle mines, bank rupt sheepmen, impoverished farmers. These principles advocated in congress have always resulted in business de- preston, financial disturbances and un- rest among the people. One year of Democratic ascendancy filled the country with panic. depression and dis tress.
 These are the lines between the con- tending forces. On the one side pros. perity and on the other diversity. The people of Arizona will choose and they will not select the side that has given so many object lessons of incompetency within the past two years.

thin the past two years.

ALTHOUGH Americans as a class are considered a sober people, we manage to distill a large amount of ardent spirits annually. Last year we dis titled s7, 7,346,SS4 gallons of liquor not including 1,43O,3 gallons of brandy, making in all sS,777,1S7 gallons of alcoholic spirits. Expert barkeepers estimate 63 drinks to the gallon, and there were therefore 5,6O1, ,O62, ,S91 drinks produced. A conservative esti- mate shows that about 37,OOO,OOO gal Ions of whisky, brandy and other dis titled spirits were imbibed across the counters, or in other words we drank 5,090, 900 glasses of whisky for which we paid over $6.6O9,OOO or $5,. 100000 more than all of the annual ap- populations combined. This repre- sents consumption of 100 glasses of

SAYS THE Tucson Citizen: The can- didate who hopes for election to office through the influence of a drink of whiskey, ought to be defeated. The price of Arizona manhood is not so cheaplv purchased and candidates hop ing to win must have more to their credit than a reputation for liberality with fred eye." Fitness for the office should alone make mans candidacy acceptable to the people.

What He Wanted.

At the hospital the other morning, says Life, one of the patients was just recovering from an attack of delirium tremens, and, as is usual in such cases, desired to dress and go home more than anything else. It happened that one of the young ladies connected with the flower mission saw him, and, approach ing, said: Il have some beautiful roses here. Wouldn't you like some?" No response. Again she said: ''Wouldn't you like to have some of these roses?'' Slowly his head turned, and, slightly opening his bleary eyes, he said, much to the embarrassment of the young woman: 'I'd blamed sight rather have my pants."

necessary number to start with, the states of Oregon, Vermont and Maine having already voted and voted most commendably. It has IT still to get.
 The next house can be made re- publican house. We hope for, and ex- pect, success in that undertaking But the man who stands up on a platform and tells roomful of Repu ublicans that the thing is going to do itself-in other words, that it can be done without hard work and plenty of it-either talks to hear himself talk, as the saying is, or has confidence that is not according to knowledge. In either case he is spouting pernicious nonsense. The Boston Journal has rendered the party a service as timely as it IS inn portant by making sober, careful study of the election returns of 1892 and embodying the results in tables which may be retarded as a political war map of the country.
 These tables show 12s sure republican districts, Oregon's two, Vermont's two and Maine's four being included in the total. They show 156 sure democratic districts, a very large percentage of which are in region of the country where the entire election machinery next month will be Gas in previous years) in democratic hands. They show sure populist districts. In 61 districts now represented by democrats and in 6 districts now represented by populist. the anti-republican plurality two years ago was less than 2,50O. "From these 67 districts" remarks our Boston con temporary, "or from others apparently less promising, the republicans must gain the 51 seats necessary to give then majority of the next House."
 It can be done. we say again, but no by folding our hands, and saying that this is republican year, and take it fol granted that things are coming out al right. We must make them come ou all right. A strong, clean aggressive cam paign to begin with an intelligent, sys tematized, thorough canvass; & ful vote on election day-these are the in gradients of succesR. It's very ole recipe, but an improvement on it, O. any safe substitute for it, is yet to b' discovered.

LIFE'S USES.

Man looks into the darkness through his tears And life seems but tangled skein; He looks adown the dreary path of years, All blinded by this fearful rain. This problem of existence seems Too much for him to understand; And so he trembles in the dark, But touches Gods right hand. He feels the hand that lifts him higher, At last he sees the light; He hears voice that says; Aspire, And thou shalt know the right Oh human soul in darkness boundt Thy chain shall drop away, And Heaven shall prove it's wondrous sound When sins of earth decay; And you shall grow to know that life Was shaped by good and i'll, And that the soul climbed to the light By climbing up lifes hill. So trusting, toll. and toiling, trust; Cling to our Fathers hand, And from the weakness of the dust You'll reach the better land.
