Mr.. KEYS serious speeches are his best. II is
to be hoped that he will persevere in gravity
Now. that California viii surely elect a
Democratic Senator, Duke Gwm may be ex-
pected to Ienounce his allegiance to the
Government OF Mexico.
Hazing is a practice unworthy of any stu
dent, hut most of all of a student who expects
TO be an officer, and ought to he gentleman
Ii is surprising that Gen. Schoficd should have
had occasion TO revive the subject by new
order.
1t is a terrible story Of human suffering that
is told elsewhere in the letter of an army Off
cen in Texas, and exceeds, in some of its
deiails, what would seem probable in fiction.
The happy deverauce of the soldiers from
their troubles Is a pleasant sequel TO pain
fu history.
An interesting glimpse of the intrigues al
ready surrounding the question Of a successor
to Bingham Young, can De had in a Salt Lake

and having had few opportunities for practice,
the British Team are under manifest disadyan-
tages; but there is no lack of pluck on their
part, and next week they VIII DO their level
best. Let us hope that they will push their
score up 10 point where even defeat is
honorable
Mayor Ely deserves the thanks Of the COM
munity for ending the dsgraceful inactOn
which has allowed the bodies OF the victims Of
the Thirty -ffth-st. fire 10 remain buried be-
meath the ruins without so much as an effort
for their recovery. Since neither the Police
nor the Fire Commissioners felt themselves
justified in mourning the expense OF a
search, they can hardly be blamed for refus-
ipg 10 exceed the bounds Of their au-
thority. In this dilemma, the responsibility
for the delay rests, and can rest only,
with the owner OF owners of tie building.
