A Majority Of
 BLdtherSklteS
Phoenix Democrat

It would take more than a sneaking printing graft to lead the Democrat 10 insult public intelligence by continued asser- tious of the angelic statesman like qualities of the late consti tutional convention. The truth is, the majority of that gather ing was a narrow-minded, ignor- ant, disreputable aggregation, and the people of Arizona real ize this fact.
 Never before in the history of Arizona has such gang been called together for any legiti- mate business. If the Democrat had not put the fear of God into the hearts of that corporation purchased crowd they would have made 8 constitution that would have disgraced Arizona forever. The people of Arizona want statehood; the corporations of Arizona are opposed to it: and the corporations elected and controlled the convention. It was only fear that kept these hirelings within the bounds of common deceney. That is all there was in it.
 Had the Democrat lauded these ignoramuses it could have had a printing contract. But no self. respecting paper could afford to call such fellows as Parsons, the loud mouthed blatherskite from Cochise; Winsor and Short of Yuma, and many others we will mention later on, as statesmen" and patriots without violating all the rules of decency. These men are a disgrace to the demo- cratic party and the territory in general as constitution makers, and uo amount of slobber will ever make the Democrat say otherwise.

The plan is to ask the govern ment 10 foster the enterprise, the argument being that such rail way might prove of inestimable value in case of warif an invad- ing army should succeed in SC curing part of the Pacific coast railroads or mountain passes. But two short stretches of new track would be necessary, one extending from Lewiston, Idaho, to Huntington, Oregon; the oth CT from Elko to Carson City, Nevada.

It is the man and not the ma- chine that makes flying possible, in the opinion of the air ship expert of the patent office. He says that successful flights are due three fOurths to the nerve and alertness of the operator and only fourth to the wings and motor.
