for the building of new structure.

 We were Just as certain that the democrats would get their feet in 1t
 as we are of life. They DISGUSTING. always do 1t. They can
 always be depended on to do the right thing at the wrong time and in the wrong way.
 The Enterprise of last evening ex- hibited a specimen of political folly that amounted to positive genius. In order to distract the attention of our citizens from the real issues of the campaign, 1t devoted a column to a malicious and libelous rehash of tales so ancient that they could not possibly be galvanized into a semblance of life. against Governor Murphy and Dr. Vtckers.
 What Governor Murphy or Dr. Vickers have to do with the issues in this campaign is beyond our ken. We will not stultify ourselves by a reply. The only result such me thods can pos sibly have is to disgust the decent members of the party that adopts them to such a degree that they will vote the opposite ticket.

The fact that the Adams adminis- tration was conducted on $20,OOO less than the present democratic one, and that $l0,000 was saved out of the rev. enuts, while the present council has run the city in debt $20,000, is a stub born fact that democratic apologists are continually stumbling over. Like Banquo's ghost It will not down. Abuse won't answer it. It rises up in faces of complacent taxpayers, with a cold. rigid stare that compels consid- eration. When men pause to consider they usually vote right.

The statement of the city's finances recently printed in The Republican has
 caused the taxpayers of NOT A Phoenix to consider POLITICAL the question of whither QUESTION. we are drifting. This
 statement shows that the present council has plunged the city into debt to the extent of S20, GOO In two years. This deficit is not an imag- mary one born of desire for political advantage by the republican party. The statement Is taken from the rec ords. It Is real. No attempt is made to deny this fact by democratic apolo gists. The question before us Is simply this: Do we want to continue to pile up deficits? Do we approve of the course taken by this council? Is 1t wise or good business judgment to continue expending the peoples money extravagantly when there is no money in the treasury?
 This Is not political question. It is purely business one. If the can didate for mayor. or either of the candidates for alderman on the demo- cratic ticket be elected the present course will be continued. and should be continued. because the people by their votes have approved 1t and sane toned It.

world is full of hearts that hunger for 'lovt. And 1t Is passing strange that while we freely admit this passing fact, we exert ourselves so little to. assuage such hunger. Happiness Is life's goal; yet in our eager desire for gain we for get the secret way. Tn striving for rich es and for fame we forget the riches of hurnan love and human appreciation. Tn lsazing at the stars we overlook and trarbpleon the beautiful daisies and for get4me-nots at our feet. We forget.

The evening democratic organ shows wonderful powers of reasoning. It's
 logic Is acute, not to POOR say profound. It gives OLD evidence of possessing DEMOCRACY. wisdom and discern-
 ment far beyond that universally accredited to Solomon. In effect 1t says that a man who changes his political belief from rspublicanism to democracy Is a gentleman and sl scholar, while he who changes vice versa Is scoundrel. Mir Willis has sl perfect right to his convictions. So. too. has Dr. Ford, Mir Luke. MT. Con. xales and others who have backslidad from republican righteousness. Mir. Gonzales Is backslider who Is so zealous that he recently brought in Q band of Yaquis and had them regis- tered as Mexican democrats. Poor old democracy! How 1t does squirm! And how 1t Is put to the rack to answer fact with fact. Our faith in its ability to misrepresent is almost equal to our contempt for it's puerile methods. But what more can be expected from an aggregation of political odds and ends. of rag-tails and bob-tails. of silver republicans. of populists, of mugwumps. all huddling under the democratic blanket like rats in a storm? What else could reasonably be expected from such mongrel off, spring. led by gang who would rather win on any proposition than be right--men who don't know the differ ence between good government and an influx of poor relations!

 Despite the direful predictions of the pessimistic Bryan the country was never so prosperous as now Arizona never hoped to see such gladsome times. Our mines were never so busy. our crops never so abundant; our timber and stock industries never so fiourishing and prosperous.
 The Issue last fall was not. as the Citizen desires to make 1t appear. the success of Murphy or GALVANIZED. Smith. It was never TUMBLE-BUG. a question of men,
 but one of policy. Neither man ever claimed to be a saint. We believe; but Murphy's elec- tion would have given us statehood while Smiths will not. Although the facile pen of the editor of the Citizen be as nimble as a galvanized tumble bug. 1t cannot change the minds of thinking men on that score. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

A<"st hiSHt we stoou oil the street CoT- ner and listened to words and songs
 that thrilled the soul. MORAL Major Cole. the evangel- COURAGE ist. was there, with Rev.
 McAfee. Rev. Cowan, and a dozen or 80 men anu women who possessed the courage of their convic- ttons. After a few songg--the singing was touchingly sweet-and a prayer or two. a few more people gathered to see what was going on. The crowd was not. at any time, so large as would gather around n montebank or fakir. Even the sale of old furniture would collect . larger congregation. Why this be true we cannot, for the life of us. say.
 Tho evangelist talked he did not preach--and his voice was low and ten- der. befltting the occasion. His lam guage was simple. 20 simple that child could learn and understand. And this simplicity. to our mind, is the quintes- sence of eloquence. His tale was old so old that it was nellow--mellow with ages of love. of charity, of unselfsh- ness. of devotion. for 1t was the old. old story of the Christ-Child.
 And aa he talked the major became lost to the throng and to the world. His face, clean-sahveE and good. be- came glorified. And this was not strange. neither was it miraculous for truth clarifies. and purifies and enobles whatever 1t touches. and the major was telling the truth. He became conscious only of the lesson he taught. and so absorbed was he in the telling, that he loGt sight even of the lesson, and the words poured forth even as Q balm to the needy and afflicted.
 The story posseased a charm all it's own. The simple pathos of love went clear down to the roots of the soul. and stirred the tenderest, the gentlest emo- tions As the minutes sped they took, one by one. the leech-like thoughts of greed. of envy. of unclean and leprous things away with them and left ciari- fled visions of better, nobler ambitions in their stead. And ih this clean condi- ton the hearth of those around about were fit vessels for the words of gold that dropped Into them
 And they were words of gold, for they rang with the ring of truth They aroused no foul desires; they sowed no seeds of greed; they inflated no pas sions bad. They invited all to higher deeda. to loftier thoughts. to simpler and purer modes of life. They sketched a picture of holy Man as an example of right living.
 And We thought as we listened that a doctrine of love could not be bad for the human family; that teachings of purity and moral cleanliness could not be very harshly condemned; that creeds that made men better, that caused them to want to do right always and to ev- cry one. that quickened the conscience to keen perceptions of right conditions, could not be justly criticised. And the longer We listened the greater our won- der grew that out of all people who thronged the streets so few cared to know the better way. and so many de- tired the reckless abandon of thought leasness.
 But after some time 1t did not seem 90 strange after all. For of the hund- reds whoprofess to follow Him in Phoe- nix, but handful had the moral cour- age to meet with Major Cole and ac- knowledge. in this public fashion, their

NOT HEREDITARY

In the main, consumption is not hereditary; it is infectious. People are too afraid of heredi- ty; better not think of the sub. jcct at all. Infection occurs continually.
 Low vital force is hereditary; which gives consumption its chance. And infection plants it.
 Between the two, the crop is a big one: about one-sixth of the human race, so far as is known.
 We suppose it needn't be 5 per cent, if people would take fair care and Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil.
 The care saves life in all ways; the emulsion is specially aimed at the lungs, beside its general food-effect.

Evidently the men of this city. the lords of creation. are ashamed of their
 wives, daughters and SEND sweethearts. So far as THEM We have been able to TO THE learn no woman has WOODS. been appointed on any

They are good enough as singers in saloons. to mend the socks of the men moguls. to even pay taxes and assume all religious and moral virtues and obligations; but as social equals. as entertainers of royalty. they are not worth a picayune. To be sure there will be some ladies with the invading party, and It would seem to novitiate that they should be met by ladies and entertained by them. But of course We are mistaken. We have lived in the backwoods all our life and are not up to the ways, man. ners and customs of polite society. No doubt 1t Is right and proper that all our ladies should be sent into the mesquite thickets during the presi- dents visit. Some of the distinguished guests might see them. then how We would blush for very shame!
