SHAVING ON SUNDAY is LAwFUL.-The
case of the State VS. Geo. Fl. Williams, on
complaint and conviction in the police
court for shaving on the Sabbath day came
up on appeal in the circuit court, before
Judge Stewart yesterday. The defendant
waived jury, and the case was tried by
the court on the evidence taken in the po-
lice court. The defendant, Williams, was
discharged by the court, who intimated
that it was needless to argue the question
involved He held that the law must be
construed with reference to the customs of
the country. and people at the time of the
passage of the act called Sunday Law"
and at that time it was a common usage to
keep barber shops open on Sunday morn
ings, and in that view, he should as soon
think it was a criminal offence to bathe as
to shave on that day Madison Union.

THE HIeH PRICE OF PRINTING PAPER
The Madison Union truly says that gold
may 90 up to 900 or down to l. so, but
the price of printing paper remains about
the same all the time No such monopoly
as the paper monopoly has ever existed in
this country before. The tremendous
power of the press seems impotent to
shake it; Congress buckles to ana helps
to sustain it, and the people are taxed to
support it, If the tariff on paper were re-
duced to anything like reasonable rates,
publishers could import their paper from
Europe, and get much better article than
they get from American dealers, and at
greatly reduced rates. As it is now, the
tariff furnishes no revenue to the Govern
ment, but merely enriches paper dealers at
the expense of newspaper readers.

The MINES OF UTAH.-Governor Durkee
of Utah, in his recent message to the Ter
ritorial Legislature, says that during the
past year some progress has been made in
the development of the unquestionably
great mineral wealth Of the territory. As
says and other experiments would seem to
demonstrate that Cottonwood, Rush Val
ley, Bingham Kanyon, and Minersville
mineral districts are equal in richness to
any yet discovered upon the continent.
The Governor wishes the Legislature to
encourage mining enterprise, and suggests
the formation of a collection of mineral
specimens showing the resources of the
ting territory in such wealth.
