It seems to need the smiles and
Establishments of to bring our
legislators in Washington up to the
necessary enthusiasm to pass ma
tionaf laws with promptitude. The
Chicago Tribune tells OF a female
lobby operator called "the Comanche,''
Once she was a bright, handsome girl
in st. Louis, where she began the
business of life as a school teacher.
But she was too fond of indiscriIl-
mate attentions from men, and ulti-
mately ran away with another wo-
mans husband. Finding her. way to
Washington her attractive appearance
secured her employment as a pro-
fessional lobbyist, and for years she
has been following her d~isreputable
calling. Her employers, of course,
dress her in almost regal attire, and
her wiles and seductions have secured
the passage Of many q bad congress
sional act. Some years ago she mar
ried a poor, miserable fellow, and her
children are growing up neglected
and unloved. In order to get good
laws passed it might be a wise thing
to send a band of superior, we'll
trained to the capital to whee-
die senators and representatives, such
as we unfortunately have in our de-
generate times, into a proper dis
charge Of Legislative duties.

PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. "a.
This morning George &. Bates, a
lawyer OF the firm of Sutherland Il
Bates, published a card, saying that he
has been served with an order from
the Second District Court of Judge
Foreman, Of Beaver comfy, Utah, TO
appear before him on the first Mon
DAY in April, to show cause why he
should not he punished for contempt

During the White Pine excitement,
George G. Bates, an attorney from Chi
cago, wrote a series of letters to the
newspapers there about the great min
eral resources of the West. Subse-
quently he went to Utah and was
made United States District Attorney
for that Territory. Latterly he has
been practicing law in Salt Lake City,
in partnership with a Mr.. Sutherland.
It appears that the firm has now got
into very serious trouble in conse-
quence Of having made certain propo-
sitions towards surrendering Nor
mons implicated in the Mountain
Meadow massacre. They addressed
q letter to Judge Foreman proposing
that the criminals should be allowed 10
give bonds in $4,000 each, without be-
ing subjected to the indignity of arrest
and detention. As q result of this eff
fort or the part of Sutherland and
Bates, the Judge has cited them to an

cause why they should not be dis
barred. 4N

members can drink, play cards, and
amuse themselves generally without
being obliged to come in contact with
the common herd. No person will be
eligible for membership whose moral
character is not good, unless he be
rich, and consequently the club will be
heightened and exclusive. 1t is anus

NEWTON BOOTH FOR PRESIDENT.
The San Francisco Chroniele has q
long article ~endeavoring to prove that
Governor Booth is the coming man at
the White House. In pointing out his
qualifications 1t states that lie is opposed
to monopolies, has always been an en-
envy Of moneyed combinations, and is
In full sympathy with the industrial
classes. He possesses = we'll balanced
and cultivated mind, and has good ex-
ecutive ability. If to Newton Booth"
says the Chronicle, "should be intrust-
cd the bearing Of the banner of the
Republican party through the next
Presidential contest, we know OF no
reason why the entire strength of all
the Republican factions might not
rally around him and why he
might HOT achieve for the party
, political victory" At the time
Booth was elected Governor of
California the SENTINEL pointed out
the fact that, owing to his success in
that contest against railroad and other
monopolies, he was likely To become
an eligible candidate for the Presidency
in 1876. We are sufficiently free from
partisanship to sincerely desire that
the best possible man should become
our next President.

FRAUD BY A PUBLISHING FIRM
Lippincott & Co., publishers in Phila-
delphia, made arrangements with r.
Il w. Chambers, OF Edingburgh, to
issue in this country an edition of their
celebrated Encyclopedia. In the orig
inal, free trade was spoken of as an ac-
cepted doctrine, but in republishing
the work, Lippincott altered the text so
as to make it say quite the reverse,
though Chambers name was appended
to both representations of the subject.
On the case being brought to the notice
of the Edinburgh publishers they
made a rather ugly exposure of the
trickery by which their great work
had thus been tempered with.

THE KING OF THE COMsroCK.

Frank Leslie's illustrated NeVspd-
per for February 9th gives a likeness
of our 10 Senator, along with some
interesting particulars of his mercan-
tile and speculative career, from which
we extract q few notes: Villa m
Sharon was born OF Quaker parents in
Jefferson county, Ohio, Jan. 9th, 1921.
When seventeen years Of age he
bought an interest in q fiatboat, and
made q trip to New Orleans. AT
Louisville the boat was wrecked, and
his partners cheated him mi of every
thing. Having returned home he
worked on a farm for three years, then
went % college, but left in two years,
and for a TIME thereafter devoted his
attention to farm work and reading
law. Having studied law under the
late Edwin M. Stanton, he was adj
mitted to the bar at st. Louis. He
next went into mercantile business in
Illinois, but left there for California in
1S49. In Sacramento he was washed
out by the flood, and then went to
San Francisco, where he made $780,
600 by operations in real estate.
Having gone into the mining stock
business, six months cleaned him out
OF his fortune, and be was then Sent
to Virginia City in the interest of the
Bank of California. "He is" says
the paper we take these items from.
ITO day the acknowledged King Of
the Comstock, by reason of his many
controlling interests in mines located
on the great ledge, and in the mills
and railroad which are their necessary
adjuncts. He has control of eight
mines, a large interest in three 9TH
ers, and receives, it Is said, a revenue
Of $4,000 per day from his crooked
railroad"
Our State in sending two such rep
resentatives of our wealth in precious
metals to the Senate, as Jones and
Sharon, is certainly taking a very eff
fective way Of advertising our i'm
. resources. By the representa-
lions that are made of their wonder
full success in accumulating large for
tunes, both capital and population will
no doubt be directed to the great West.

several specimens to Paris with the purpose
of taking them to the United States as curl
osities. Although they are not "Anthropo-
phagi and men whose heads do grow beneath
their shoulders" they are men that "do each

Their king is hedged in with peculiar
African divinity. His mother must be of the
blood royal. He must himself be immacu-
late, and free from all defect of body or
mind. He must eat and drink in solitary
grandeur, and never touch beer, of which his
subjects are very fond. He must abide by
his word at all cost. IT, in his wrath, he says
he will butcher and eat one of his five hun
dred wives, he must fulfill his oath. His
drinking water is brought by women under
guard, from wells covered with cloth, to pre-
vent the effects of malignant magic.
He carries the Koran in his hand, wears a
crown and has an umbrella of ostrich feathers
spread over him. His courtiers crawl on all
tours when they approach him. When he
dies his eldest son succeeds, but the eyes of
all the other sons are put out. His army of
10000 infantry and 5000 cavalry necessisates
heavy taxes.
The King gets eight out of ten of all fish

pounds of ivory, 10000 cattle, 5000 camels,
