THE ABOLITION OF THE STATE
PRINTERS OFFICE.

Yesterday there was passed in the
Assembly, under suspension OF the
rules, a bill abolishing the office of
State Printer. 1t is but fair that 1t
should be stated in the outset that this
does not affect the present incumbent
of the State Printers office. The law,
if perfected, will not go into effect I'M
til January 1879. This, as it behooves
the APPEAL to acknowledge, is most
righteous act of Legislation. The au-
thor of the bill is of the opinion that
the duty devolves on him perhaps
more strenuously than upon any other
to do this much of justice toward the
State. He has had his share Of the
plundering of the Treasury which is
invited and justified by the old law;
and it is scarcely less than just and
right that he should so far make
amends for his legaliZed robberies by
doing what lies in his power to stop
the leak. Under the present statute
the prices are simply monstrous; and
the State Printer is merely contrac-
tor with the statutory privilege
of charging exorbitant prices
for doing its public printing.
When we state that the rate
of payment for composition under the
present law is one dollar and sixty
cents per thousand Gems" and that
the current rates under the Printers
Union in this State are but seventy
cents per thousand, while in Califor-
mia they are less than sixty cents, the
folly of longer permitting this law to
exist is apparent. The fact is, it is one
of the relics of an age of recklessness,
ignorance among legislators relative
to printing!, and uuiustifable extrav
agance. If it shall be pleaded, as we
think it probable it Will, in opposition
to this bill, that it provides for the
letting of contracts fer doing the lar
ger part of the work in California, we
have the ready answer that every
L
has had all his book work and nearly
all his Reports done in San Francisco.
And why should the State pay State
Printer more than double the current
rates for work which he has done for
the State under contract with CalifOr-
MIA Job and book printers? Why
should the State, on these extravagant
terms, employ middleman AS to
the other plea or averment which may
be made that the author of the bill had
an eye to the possible benefits of the
APPEAL office in making provisions
tor the printing of the bills and other
work needed by the Legislature, to be
done in Carson, the answer is that
there are already two other offices in
this city besides the APPEAL office
(the Tribune and State Printers office;
as, also, that every body and anybody
either with or without printing mate
rails can compete in bidding for the
work. The APPEAL would be glad
enough to get the contract at profitable
rates, but if the Printing Commission
do their duty under the Act the work
will be done as by the terms of the
lowest bidder, and by none other.
What this bill does is to rolieve the
State from the obligation, self-imposed
hitherto, of being most mercilessly
plucked and we are glad to note the
promptitude with which the Assem-
bly, passed the bill. We hope the
Senate may display corresponding
alacrity.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE.

On Monday evening the town of Mount
Carmel, Illinois, was struck by a cyclone or
tornado. The Court house, two newspaper
offices, three church buildings, many business
houses and about one hundred residences
were destroyed. The loss of life was terrible,
as appears by the following:
Mount Carmel, Ill June 5.-The direction
of the cyclone yesterday was from southwest
to little north of east, and its line of destruc-
ton embraced all of Fourth street and large
part of the territory between Third rnd Fifth
streets. The duration of the wind did not ex
coed two minutes, but rain continued to fall
for some time after the cyclone passed The
velocity of the wiud is estimated at $50 miles
per hour. During its prevalence the air was
filed with flying roofs, windows, doors, lumber
rails, clothing, etc Much of the debris was
carried more than a mile away. Thirteen
persons were killed and many others will I'M
dOubtedly die. Several are reported missing,
who are probably buried in the ruins. 1t
being a rainy day, many farmers were here.
The County Court was also in session, which
brought many people to the city. Men,
women and children were blown distance of
400 feet as if they were feathers. The best
part of the town is destroyed. Some seventy
families are houseless and much distress is
anticipated Search for bodies still continues
St. Louis, June 5.-The Republicans spec
ial gives the names of 1919 of the killed in the
cyclone, and says two of the wounded have
since died, but their names are not given.
The total number of wounded is not reported,
but will probably reach seventy or eighty.
There are eighty five buildings in ruins, a
number of them being among the largest bust
ness houses in the place, containing valuable
stocks of goods. The loss of property is vari-
ously estimated at from 500, 900 to $500, 900

THE HERALD'S MAN IN UTAH.

Under date of New York, June ), We are
informed that the Times correspondent tee
graphs from Salt Lake as follows:
General Crook expresses the opinion that
no more troops are needed in Utah; that per
| haps, 50 far as he can see, Utah is as peaceful
as ever before. The alleged attempted assas-
sination of a correspondent of New York
journal seems to be generally diScredited.
am now at the same hotel, and do not see
how it could have been possible. Even the
alleged attempted assassination, which was
bloodless, is not laid to Mormon agents. The
Territory is as quiet as Massachusetts, or
Connecticut, and as far from Wal. or blood
shed.
This confirms our notion Of things. The
Herald started out to have a bloody shirt of
its own That paper has a silly policy Of per
hitting its correspondents to set up sort of
newspaper terrorism at times. They hold the
club Of their small authority over the heads
of people who can be terrified by the fact that
a fellow with lead pencil in his hand and
who has access to the columns of widely cir
colated daily print can annoy them. Grants
Presidency had the Understanding accusation
Of Gaesarism flung against it and stuck upou
il out of resentment to his quiet exclusion
from his private car of self-important puppy
and demanded admission as such. The saucy
scribe was set off at a switch-or possibly with
one-and then arose the cloud Of the Herald's
epithets. The Country has every reason to

thinks there is no hostile movement or inten-
tions among the Mormons. Why should
there be! 1t is not at all probable that there
will he any further proceedings against the
Saints on account of the Mountain Meadow
Massacre. We suspect that the conviction
and execution Of John D. Lee was the result
of tacit agreement. He was the Mormons
blood offering for a nolle prosequi-so we
think. Indeed there could be no conviction
for the murder of the Arkansas emigrants
without Brigham consent. So that there IS
no reason on the earth for the Mormons' arm
ing for self protection aggressive move
ments The Herald boots at the ''bloody
shirt in the South where the political muir
ders are to be numbered by the thousand, and
cuddles Hayess hermaphrodite policy But
it makes bugaboo of Brigham Young and
his Danites, his Nauvoo Legion and his war
paint, for no better reason than the saleable
of it, The Herald must continue to
advertise itself The Mornons never Will en-
gage in any war with the Government Of the

OF the value Of alfalfa as a reliable crop in
California, the Bulletin says:
If any further proof of the superior value of
alfalfa as a forage plant in California were
needed. the present dry season has furnished
that proof While all other kinds of hay VIII
be scarce the supply of alfalfa will be even
greater than last year If alfalfa had not been
introduced and cultivated, and such drouth
had come upon us with the same amount Of
stock III the State We now have, it would have
been impossible to have carried the fourth of
them through till the fall rains, without even
saving anything for their subsistence after
that time. There are two Important lessons
taught our farmers by the present season, VIZ.
To save all the straw from either wheat, or
barley, oats, to meet emergencies like the
present, and 20 put down more land i'll perma-
nent alfalfa meadows or pastures. Every
acre of alfalfa in the State, on good productive
soil, is, for this season alone, worth from $50
to so, and many acres will bring their own
ems from 500 to $500, and even more. We
have much more good alfalfa land i'll this State |
than is generally supposed, as the present sea |
son will prove. In fact, any land that will |
bring a good crop Of wheat or barley, when |
once well seeded in alfalfa, will also bring |
good alfalfa, even III the dryest season.
What holds good in California concerning
he cultivation of this hardy clover, applies
With equal force to Nevada. 1t is a constant
wonder to us that people who have the means
the land and the money-to carry on large
plantations of alfalfa do not do so more gen
rally than the case at present shows. 1t is

We do not think we should like to be III

that an accused indicted and ncarcerated man
will wear out or outlast the personal embar-

although it is true that Rover is holding his
own surprisingly against the very hard lines

still one has an inclination to feel contented
with something less agtating ard uncertain
condition than that in which he finds himself.
In yesterday Reno journal we are informed
as follows
On Monday next the famous case of the
State VS.. Rover, charged with killing J. n.
Sharp near Winnemucca year or so since
for which he has been convicted twice and
once had hung jury, will come up in Reno.
This trial IS intended to be thorough one.
Everything bearing upon the case at all will
be produced. A careful survey has been
made of the place where the tragedy occurred
and the clothes Rover wore, which are said to
be covered with blood and show other unmis-
taxable evidences of the struggle and blood
shed will be added to the evidence produced
at his last trial This case has attracted
great deal of attention. Rover looks forward
very cheerfully to the trial.
