OuR local contemporary has just
made another exhibition of its ina
bility to observe the rules of pro,
priety in journalism. In its frantic
efforts to attract attention, the priv
ate affairs of secret societies are
nosed out and paraded before the
public. The Good Templar lodge
Of this place has ranked, ever since
its organization, as one of the most
creditable and deserving institutions
of the town. 1t is at least schooling
our young people to become TEN.
perance men and women, though it
may not be rapidly reclaiming our
drunkards, and its membership is
largely y made up out of the most res.
pectable and worthy residents Of the
town. And this is not all; the mem.
bers of this lodge are quite capable
of managing their affairs without
the aid of outside parties who have
no right to meddle with them. The
meetings of the lodge are held with
closed doors, and what transpires
there is no more public property
than are the doings in any private
family. The columns OF a newspa-
per should be devoted to that which
the public has right to know, and
NOT to retailing the private affairs of
any family or corporation. Its pub
fishers should either refrain from ex.
hibiting the traits of a scandal mon.
ger or choose another field for their
operations. But then this dirty sheet
has so uniformly rallied at everything
OF q moral nature that it has long
since proclaimed itself outside the
pale Of legitimate journalism. We
may next look for it to tell what the
have for dinner.

The Treasury officials

which the committee relied cannot
be made available, and therefore
they mast wait until Congress meets

fear of this investigation. The fact
is significant, and the more informa.
ton we receive here relative to this
point the more contemplate appears
their position. The late sudden dis.
appearance of Federal witnesses to
bull doing in Louisiana, and their
supposed assassination, carry alarm to
Northern Democrats, who have de-
Tended the psss of the rebels 10

facts are told by Democratic wit

Resumption is now so well assured
that the Treasury officers are promis
ing to pay out gold if required in
all parts of the country as well as al
the Sub b.Treasury in New York and

find that they can have gold fo'
greenbacks they prefer the latter.

During n recent visit to Corinne,
Utah. the writer inspected the extern
siye establishment Of 1Iessrs. George
Ford & Co., who are engaged in ship
ping dressed meat from that place to
San Francisco. They buy about three
hundred head Of cattle per week. and
ship regularly from four to six car
loads Of dressed beef to the coast. The
Tiffany patent refrigerator cars are
used in the transportation of the meat,
and we were informed by Mr.. Ford
that during the six months his compa-
ny has been engaged in This business,
not a pound of meat has spoiled while
in transit. The company made during
that time u clear profit of nearly TWEEN
ty thousand dollars. The cattle pur-
chased by this firm are driven to Cor
inne from the Snake river country,
where the winter grazing is excellent.
We would suggest to our e~nterpris-
ing stockmen and other business men,
that this Is a branch of trade that
could be established here with great
profit to all concerned. Our beef Is
certainly of as good quality as any pro-
duced in Utah; our markets are also
ear at hand. The advantages, so far
as the weather and climate are con-
cerned, + without question on our
side. Dressed meat could be securely
transported in refrigerator cars from
Cheyenne to st. Louis or Chicago dur
ing the twelve months of the year.
1t has paid our stockmen well to ship
live cattle to eastern markets; 1t will
pay them still better to establish a large
Strengthening establishment here, and
to ship their beef dressed and ready for
the retail dealers on its arrival in the
great cities. The percentage of losses
will be less, and they can always secure
a fair price for their beef, not being
obliged to place their property in the
hands of the spectators who hang
around eastern stock-yards, and who
generally get the lions share Of the
profits made in the sale of live cattle.
We should be pleased to hear what our
leading cattle breeders have to say OH
this subject.
