DIR. WINSLOW CREMATED.
Reduced to About Five Pounds of Ashes u
hVo Hours and 50 Minutes.


Salt Lake City, July S1.-When DIR. G..
F. Winslow's remains were placed in the
cremation furnace this afternoon, at 62O
the body weighed 1875 pounds. He died
on the 7th ofJuly, and the body had been
embalmed and the heart and bowels ia
ken out. The multitude were permitted
to view the face as the body lay in plain
coffin, with flowers stTewn on IL. Nearly
one thousand persons passed around the
coffin rapidly, Immediately after which
the door of the furnace, which had al
ready reached red-heat, was opened,
and the body quickly pushed in on an
iron plate, the door closed and the fire.
man began his work in earnest.
The furnace was constructed with
double hues, 80 that tie flames came di-
rectly in contact with an envelope above
the body, large current of air being ad-
mitted. The first appearance, as seen
through the mica apertures, were that of
roasting but in twenty minutes nearly all
the flesh was consumed, and the bones
had begun to crumble. Half an hour
later very little could be seen of the
form of the body. At "a o'clock, DR..
Hamilton opened the door of the furnace
and only one or two pieces of bones could
be seen, and they Crumbled under the
weight of the ashes. At S:55 the process
was pronounced complete and successful
by Drs. Hamilton and Smart. The fires
were drawn, and the ashes left to cool
short time before being removed.
Before the body was placed in the re-
tort, short speeches were made by Dr.
Hamilton aud Gen. M. NJ. Bones, and
DIR. Smart, Surgeon at Camp Douglas, DR..
Smart gave history of the science of
cremation, and spoke of the system Of
burial as injurious to public health, say.
ing that the practice Of cremation would
increase with civilization and growth of
population. No prayer was said, nor were
any religious words uttered. This was in
with the injunction ofthe de-
ceased doctor.
The fumes from the furnace were un.
perceptibe at a distance from
the scene. The cremation was successful
being the shortest time on record, 2 hours
and 95 minutes. The weight of the ash
es, which contained few calcined frag-
ments of bone, was four pounds and liz
ounces.

AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL
FACT.


After the argument upon the Florida
case before the late Electoral Commits
sion in Washington, Judge Bradley wrote
olt his opinion and decision in full. He
completed it at about 6 o'clock in the
evening on the day before the judgment
of The Commission was TO be announced,
and read it to Judge Clifford and Judge
Field, who were likewise members of the
Commission. 1t contained first, an argu-
ment, and secondly, conclusion. The
argument was precisely the same as that
which appears in the published docu'
ment; but Judge Bradley's conclusion
was that the votes of the Tilden electors
in Florida were the only votes which
ought to be counted as coming from that
State.
This was the character of the paper
when Judge Bradley finished it, and
when he communicated it to his col
leagues. During the whole Of that night
Judge Bradley's house in Washington
was surrounded by the carriages of visi'
tors who came to see him apparently as
to the decision of the Electoral Commits
sion, which, as we have said was to be
announced the next day. These visitors
included leading Republicans, as well as
persons deeply interested in the Texa'
Pacific Railroad scheme.
When the Commission assembled the
next morning, and when the judgment
was declared, Judge Bradley gave hi
voice in favor of counting the votes o
the Hayes electors in Florida The ar
gument be did not deliver at the time
but when it came to be printed subse
que ntly, it was found to be precisely thu
same as the argument which he had orig
inally drawn up, and on which he ha'
based his first conclusion in favor Of tn
Tilden electors.-N Y. Sun, 4th.

1ET RoRKINa MEN REMEMBER.
These gripingtImes affectsseverely labor

These gripping times affects severely labor
and honest business These times set in
at the panic, September, 1873, and have
been getting worse rather than better.
The party in power passed the Re-
sumption act as a remedial measure, but
it does not prove such. We are not
aware of any other measure Of the party
in power calculated by the Sherman
managers to relieve workingmen and
the honest trader, unless it was the de-
monetizing of silver some several ago
and which the Democratic House of Con-
gress last winter remOnetised, but which
the radical Senate defeated.
The present hard times are the result
of the policy and management OF the
party in power, and laboring men should
consider this essential fact, The radical
leaders, however, persist in this same
public policy and disastrous rule, regard.
less of all consequences, They propose
no vital change. Their talk Of civil SER
vice reform is mere talk. Their leaders
in Congress opposed every step of the
Democratic House to cut down expen.
ditures, and return to economy OF ad-
ministration. The forty millions of dol"
lars of reduction last year was only done
after bitter contest between the Demo-
cratic House and the Republican Senate.
The Republican party had full sway in
every department Of government since
March 4th, 1861. The only exception
was in the last Congress, when the House
was Democratic. The House, in their
two years, with opposition from Re-
publican President, a Republican Senate,
and all Departments of the government,
forced down expenditures to the extent
of some fifty millions.
At this time, when working men are
suffering, when honest business men feel
the pressure seriously, this noble
retrenchment forced upon the party in
power by the Democracy, should not be
forgotten.
Labor needs relief from the terrible
exactions of Government. The people
require more just mode of administra-
ton, and more honest public policy,
that all may bear an, equal share of the
public burdens.
To bring about proper retrenchment
and reform, an entire change Of admin
istration is demanded. To bring this
change, union is necessary of all oppos'
ed to the evil policy of the radical Sher'
man leaders. Workingmen are espec-
tally interested in this change. The
Democratic party is fully committed to
system of public policy based upon strict
and eyen-handed justice, and to economy
of administration. All this is the great
need of labor and honest business. Let
workingmen consider.

THE ORIGIN OF THE LABOR
TROUBLES.

The whole financial policy for the past
ten wears, has the inevitable tendency to
increase the power of money, and to en-
barrass enterprise and lessen the recon-
pense of labor. The railroad strike is
simply symptom pointing to the condi-
ton Of labor in all departments of pro.
ductive industry. Utter loss of employ.
ment to some and a constant reduction of
wages to others, have driven men wild
with desperation. The means of keeping
them employed have been curtailed or
destroyed. Under the influence of bale
full legislation, the enterprise of the coun-
try has become deadened. While the
machinery is all ready for vigorous ac-
ton, it stands still for the want of oil to
facilitate its motion. The contraction of
the currency is the one mighty evil that
has crippled business and begot distrust
and stagnation in trade. When the cir
culating medium of a country, is largely
diminished, it's ability to engage in use
full enterprises and furnish remunerative
employment to labor, are corresponding
ly decreased. In these few simple propo.
sitions are found the origin Of the labor
troubles.

NEITHER Republican county conven>
tions, nor Republican State conventions
denounce the counting in of President
by fraud, They do swallow their bile
and bitterness, and suppress their curses
at Hayes's weakness in not holding on
to South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida;
and dawdle over the patriotism Of Pres
ident Hayes and approve his patriotic
purpose to restore fraternal relations be-
tween the North and South and, OF
course, laud his efforts to purify the civil
service, which efforts are not visible.
The usual efrontery, Inconsistency and
falsehood were shown at the Stark coun'
ty convention. A committee, consisting
of w. T. Bascom, A. c. Wales, A. J..
Kicks, F. E. Case and E. N. Hartshorn
reported the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted.
ReS0lVea, That we express our undi.
minished confidence in the patriotism
and integrity of President Hayes, and
the able men he has chosen as his
advisers; that we approve his patriotic
purpose to restore fraternal feeling be-
tween the North and the South; that we
endorse his efforts to purify our civil
service. that we favor the reconciliation
of silver and all efforts looking to the
return of our material prosperity.

We have always rather respected, even
admired the Constitution of the United
States. The first sentence provides for a
government to establish and secure JUS
tice and liberty not fasten upon the peo-
pie injustice and moneyed despotism.
The document rather realizes the right OF
all to live, and hence it makes no provis-
ion to compel one man to sell his labor
to another for less than the market price;
or force one to buy the labor Of another
at more than the market price. Neither
does it contemplate that Congress shall
so legislate as to rob and plunder labor
and honest business to benefit certain in
terests.
