If the silver conference comes TO an
agreement-as it is earnestly to be hoped
that it will-the only mode of putting
the agreement 10 force, so far, at least,
as the United States are concerned, is by
legislation establishing the ratio agreed
on between silver and gold in the coin.

authority Of each nation represented
should pass such an act the great none

WASTE y WANT.

Either man must be content with
poverty all his life. or else deny him
self some luxuries and save to lay the
base of Independence in the future.
But il a man deties the future, and
spends all he earns whether his earn
ings be one or ten dollars a day. let
him look for lean and want at some
future time-for it will surely come, no
matter what he thinks. To save is
absolutely the only way to get a solid
fortune; there is no other certain mode.
Those who shut their eyes and ears to
these certain facts will be forever poor,
and in their obstinate rejection OF truth
mayhap will die in rags and filth. Let
them so die and thank themselves.
But no! They take a sort OF recon-
I pense in cursing fortune. Great waste
of breath. They might as well curse
the mountains or the eterne! hills. For
we can tell them fortune does not give
away good aud substantial goods. She
sells it to the highest bidder. to the
hardest and wisest worker fol- the boon.
| Men never make so fatal a mistake as
when they think themselves creatures

world. Every man may make or mar

GENERAL COMMON FOR Gov
ERNOK OF UTAH.

The Geutiles of Utah are making a
strong effort TO Lave Governor Emery
removed. 1t seems he has ranged
himself socially and officially on the
side of Mormonism, declining to
affiliate in any sense with the liberal
element of the Territory. In short,
the Mormons have captured" him
as completely as they did Governor
Axtell some years ago. The early re-
moval of Governor Emery being con-
sidered a ~foregone conclusion. a move
ment has been inaugurated in San
Francisco to have General Common APP
pointed as his successor. The General
is a much respected citizen of Eureka,
and while we regret to lose him, We
can but wish that he may secure the
place if he desires it. General Con-
10 has once before taught the Nor
mons a wholesome lesson and
in him Utah would be certain
OF a fearless and sterling Executive.
Alluding to the fact that Utah needs
a firm hand at the helm, the Alta has
the following:
The favorable circumstances alluded
to suggest that il would be a proper
thing for President Hayes to appoint
at the present time sotue n To the
Governorship of that Territory who is
familiar with its issues, and who has
in a measure the confidence of the peo-
pie. and as the name of General T.
Edward Common has been forwarded To
Washington by his friends here, as a
proper person to be the Governor OF
Utah, we c~heerfuily add our in
dorsement to this recommendation.
as we think that gentleman a very
fitting person for the Executive chair.
General Common is a man of hard
sense; is not a fanatic on anything. and
is as capable of looking at facts Impair
TALLY as any man we a think of. His
military career is unblemished; his
readiness to favor and promote the in
terests of the people of Utah has cost
him tens of thousands of dollars, and
his fidelity to the Government is be-
yond question. His appointment 10
the Governorship OF that Territory
would be satisfactory to the Gentiles
and to the Mormons, and we hope that
President Hayes will give it his care
full attention.
