Jumps of sugar carefully into the mid
die of the cup; if the air bubbles re-
main in the centre Of the cup, it will
be fine; if they rise rapidly and go at
once to the sides, it will rain all day;
If they gather in the centre and then
go in cluster to one side, look out

And not the least of democratic fol- ] lies has been this matter of the free zone. It has finally strengthened out
 and under the ruling embodied in the
 circular published, the trade which
 has grown up at Nogales under former
 regulations will not be interfered
 with; but there has been annoyance,
 vexation and delay which have been
 expensive.
 The question naturally arises why is
 the democratic party so impotent? One cause is the fact set forth earlier in this article, viz: that it is not an ad- mlnistratiye party. It is most effective in opposition. When entrusted with power it is lost. 1t don't know what to do. It's entire inception and exist ence have beento find fault with what was done and to find reasons for not doing what was proposed. As the querulous individual who is always finding fault with his surroundings. yet does nothing to mend them, never succeeds in accomplishing anything, so 1t is with a party. Both the con structive and destructive faculties are not given in an eminent degree to parties any more than to individuals.
 Another cause for the utter failure of the democratic party is the lower standard of intelligence in it's rank and file. There is a world of truth in the confession once made by Frank Heney in a speech at Nogales that republicans generally are more intelli- 1 gent than democrats. No fountain can rise higher than it's source, and the official representatives of a self 1 party lacking intelligence cannot turn out anything but very small potatoes and few in ahill. And | their most capable leaders and officials | are either republicans or ex-republi- | cans. Instance Senator Palmer, Wayne | Mac Neagh Geo. William Curtis, re- ! gently deceasedl, and host 0f equally I brilliant men, in the east, Governor John Dunbar and others in Arizona, and K. D. George and Steve Aguirre, holdoyerS from q republican administration right here at Nogales. It is such men as these which give democravic oiiicialdom what little standing it does possess.

LAST week three drummers from eastern houses went into Sonora, and are reported doing very heavy busi- ness down there. The same week an- other drummer returned from that state, reporting that he had done an immense business at Hermosillo, ,Guay- mas and Minas Prietas. The point to this is that in Sonora there is q trade which should be commanded and con trolled by Nogales houses. The stocks should be here and the drummers should go tout from here. There should be established here business houses which will control all that trade.

If the Citizen is SO anxious for the greatness and advance ment of Arizona as it contends, it should be willing that Nogales should advance with the rest of Arizona.

WHAT terrible row our democratic friends on the other side kick up when their idol of clas Cleveland is hit by some well directed and well deserved criticism. Mr. Cleveland has been treated very gingerly by his political adyersaries. When it is recalled how democrats abused and yilliied Lincoln and Grant the candid mind is lost in wonder at what they would say with the opportunity were Mr. Cleveland a republican instead of a democratic president.
