serve that the Arizona Citizen of Tue
 son. the Globe Times TRIO OF and that alliterative
 ARIZONA journal, the Pima Par SAGES. agon, of the Upper Gi.n
 valley. are engaged in felicitating one another on account of their views of matrimony They have prepared a c-ie of rules for the con duct of those aSout to enter wedlock as we'll as for those who have already entered and barred the 9Cors behind them. All this is to the end that the world may be happier and better. The editors of the Citizen and Times we know to be unmarried men. We have n> doubt that the sage of the Paragon is also single. else he would not have rushed into th.s discussion. It is a well established fact that all essays on matrimony have been written by callow boys and girls. old maids and old bach elors. Married msn to whom We would naturally turn for information regard ing conjugal matters have been silent and wood saving. Now and then a man whose marital ties have been severed by death or the div.rce court and who has in consequence nothing to fear un5ridies his tongue. An appeal is always taken from his judgment on tho ground of prejudice and the matter is carried up to such untrammeled philosophers as the ed- tors of the Citizen. the Times and the Paragon.
 They are at present engaged in sit ting on the case of the Duke and Duchess of Manchester We may pass over many cf their findings and dwell upon this one: That the wedding is foredoomed t1 failure because the duchess prostituted herself for title and the duke abased himself for gold Love having been unconsi,ered in this match there can be no ultimate happi- ness. It Is to be inferred from this final judgment that l5ye as incomrati- ble with rank and gold.
 Within the last half century there have been a great many marriages be- tween rich American girls and titled foreigners A very large percentage Of them presumably have been happy, since there has been no consequent dis turbance in the world; a much larger percentage than we would have ex- Pected, taking into consideration the different modes cf life to which the con | tIactng parties had been accustomed. | the widely different character of the | circle of friends of each. NJ any of these | marriages have no doubt been mer- csnary, but so are many American | marriages. A woman who, for fifty | thousand dUllars or ten thousand or two thousand, marries a man she does not love is as mercenary as If she had | married for a dukedom Love Is not nearly so likely to be obscured by rank and wealth before marriage as 1t is to be driven out by poverty and ad- versity afterward.
 The advice of the N rth farmer to his son is wisa. He was not to marry for money. but go where money is" Poverty and obscurity are not essentials to the highest hymencal happiness.
 Of all the recent marriages between title and wealth, the last one pleases Us most Manchester is a democratic young man and must be c prince for Aherallty. for after spending his own fortune, he incurred debts to the amount of nearly million. He is hand some, athletic and lJvable. Though a duke he was not ashamed to earn his bread as a newspaper worker.
 We know less of Her Grace. She is the daughter of humble German and her mother was brought up on an Ohio farm. Her father, Mr. Zimmerman, as a maker of beer We can not help loving the Duchess when we ook upon her through the amber tinted memory of Cincinnati beer, which in its day was most famous MT. Zimmerman kept creating oppOr- tunities and rising to them so that by the time hc hal amasse1 millions le was a practically educated man. a
