The new District of Columbia

rood toward becoming Sheppard

st. Louis Democrat says the new
District Commission have re-award-
ed contracts aggregating 5000, 900,
and the sap is thrown to the most
favored contractors under Boss
Shephard's rule. The most notori-
GUS contractor was John o. Evans.
His contract is revived for Tagging
Belgian pavement, etc., on B street,
between Twelfth and Seventeenth
streets. This contract was started
with an estimate of Sl47, sol. II, and
when s24l, s56.5O was spent, a mis-
take of 100000 in the estimate
was whispered, found in the con-
tract, and was exposed and virtu-

The Alligator-F Farmer.

Nobody has ever questioned the
devotion and self-sacrificing interest
that the toiling secretary of the Ma
tional Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry has in the agricultural
interest Of the country. Not only
does he draw his pay regularly, and
distribute his valuable tracts to en-
bryo oranges, but he is constantly
securing some new and useful arti-
Gle of special service to the farmers
of the Great West, for whom his
devotion is only equaled by the
regularity with which he makes
them pay their dues. He has Sc
cured some valuable grass-seed
from Africa, which he is carefully
distributing among the Minnesota
| oranges. He has obtained a wild
! mule from Brazil to improve the
stock of mules in Colorado. He
imported a valuable weed from
Hayti, which he sent tothe farmers
of illinois, who are now struggling
to master its spread in the corn
..eIds, and visiting upon the poor
secretary that earnest condemna-
ton from which he now suffers.
Looking over his failures hereto
fore, this worthy leader OF the agri-
cultural interest of the country
! determined by a bold movement, a
coup d. etat, to at once %ingratiate
himself firmly in the hearts of the
farmers of the land, preserve his
failing reputation, and achieve at
once glory as a benefactor, renOwn
as a discoverer, and honor as a prac-
teal farmer; and so, at great ex-
pense, he has secured a young alli-
| gator, which he now keeps in his
backyard, protected by a barricade
Of dry goods boxes, and EMPLOYS
himself feeding the animal with fif-
teen pounds Of fish daily, besides
what other food he is able to col
lect. Those who have witnessed
this hardy son of Toll in his devotion
to this new agricultural animal
speak in terms of the highest COM
phi nent.
Circulars will be Immediately sent
out to the oranges for orders for
crocodiles, and every organization
is expected to take at least a photo
graph, to which the secretary will
afix his-the secretary's, not the
crocodile's-autograph. These val
liable additions to the agricultural
literature of the country will adorn
the walls of the l~odge-rooms, and be
q monument to the wisdom of this
wise and ~far-seeing man.
Whether they are intended to be
generally introduced into active SER
vice Is not known. 1t may be that
1t is intended to let them take the
places of the Brazilian mules and be
| used as beasts of burden. What
would be more novel than to wit
ness a fine team of crocodiles slowly
pulling the pillow through the corn
field?
In fact, it Is difficult to estimate
the revolution that this novel move,
ment may produce. If we have in
dulged many captious, irrevereni

the country of preserving the

THE utah Territorial electic

THE Utah Territorial election,
which came off Monday, appears to
have been attended by riotous and
disorderly proceedings at Salt Lake
City. Instead of maintaining order
and protecting peaceable voters
against the rowdy element, the
Mormon police INDUCED in most
disgraceful assaults ON the Gentle
citizers and the United States Of
ficials who sought to protect the
ballot box against frauds.
This disgraceful demonstration Is
only another evidence that polyga-
NOUS Mormondom must be put, and
kept, under the strong arm Of the
law. The result of the election Is
not announced, but it is only fair to
presume that, under instructions
from the Church, George Q. Can.
non, Brigham Young's right-bowerl
has been reelected to Congress.
In view Of the fact that Congress
has most emphatically pronounced
against the future admission Of
polygamists to seats in that body
the reelection of Cannon, the self.
confessed polygamist, is simply 9
deliberate insult to the American
government. Out Of self-respct
Congress cannot afford to permit
Brigham's chosen ambassador to
deliberately defy the national laws

BEFORE expanding any more
money on Hanscom Park the City
Courcil ought to adopt some per-

architect to devise a plan that will

With such q place before them it
will be easy for the engineer in

Without such a plan all the labor

stalwart young whaler was shocked at
the GOODNESS with which his promised
bride received his caresses.

pale as the white wedding.gown she
wore. The VOWS were exchanged, and
the gray-headed priest blessed the mar
ried pair. And then they returned to
the whalcr's cottage, the guitars were
touched, and Pancho led out his lovely
bride in Spanish dance. They had
scarcely taken step, when cry from
the beach brought everybody to the
porch. A boy was seen standing on
The bluff, shouting wildly:
"Down to the boats the English
man is drowning! To the boats, or he
will be lost y
Before the wedding throng fully com.
pretended the alarm, a white figure
burst from their midst. Like the wind
she dashed down the bluff, then over
the rocks, now dashed by the angry
waves, for the tide was high and
strong Northwestern blowing. At her
feet-aliyc, yet not struggling at all
with the breakers-lay Thorpe, his face
full of the agony Of death. Juanilla
sprung from the rock with a wild
shrek, and her arms encircled the
drowning man. And then, before even
her husband could reach the cliff,
mighty wave came and drew them both
far out into its depths. An hour after
ward, the sea gave up its dead. The
arms of the bride still eneircled her
lover. and one Of his was clasped in the
rigldity Of death about her neck, and
upon his face was smile as Of enc
content. They were buried. side by
side. in the sea.washed graveyard. I'M

The Press and the Publishers.

The power of the daily press to CEN
tralize trade. especially those branches
of trade which are not dependent upon
facilities, natural or artificial, for ship
ping and carriage, has hardly been ap-
prcciated by the public. The grain
produced by the Western States will
naturally seek the quickest and cheap
est transport to the best shipping point,
irrespective Of all other considerations.
Great commercial centers are fixed by
good harbors, easily accessible from
tudes of manufactures which may be,
and are, carried on anywhere. without
reference to the circumstances that fix
the centers Of commerce, and other
things being equal, they seek centers Of
influence and advertising facilities. A
bright, enterprising, influential, daily
press, II any town. IS centraliZlng
power for all these interests. The press
advertises the locaiity.-is the exponent
Of its life and Spirits the center Of
its moral, political, and social influence,
and does more, perhaps, than any other
agency to attract the organized indus
try of its near and remote neighbor-
hood.
The city Of Springfield, in Massachu-
sets. is, perhaps, as good an illustration
of the power of a daily press to CEN
tralize trade and manufactures as any
that the country offers. We wonder
whether the residents Of that city know
how much they owe to their daily press
for their constantly increasing mum bers
and their constantly growing prosperi-
ty. For twenty-five years they have
had daily press whose enterprise, IN
dustry, intelligence and influence are
believed to have been without precedent
or parallel in the history of provincial
newspapers throughout the world. We
think. indeed, that this is but just
statement of the fact; and there is moth
ing in the location Of the town and its
relations to the country to justify the
supposition that it would have reached
its present status through other causes.
The town is known throughout the
whole country by its press. and that
press has magnified its Importance and
influence everywhere. 1t has been
center Of intelligence and center Of
attraction. and has done, in one sense,
more than anything else to make the
town what it is-one of the brightest
and most enterprising towns in New
England.
