arAurryu1 APPEAL.

Henry George of California is the
author Of the following beautiful appeal
for Drawer and nobler efforts on the part
OF mortals here below: "All the efforts
OF science have failed to trace back Of it,
self the springs and sources of that sub
tie thing that We call life. and we know
not what it is. So far as we can 60 is to
discern back of each living thing some
other living thing. Yet SO widely are its
germs scattered, that, given but the con-
ditions that support it, and there will life
appear. And so it seems in the moral
world. Whenever in human history oc-
casion and opportunity await the man,
forth he steps, and asthe common worker
is on need transformed into a queen bee,
so when circumstances are favorable,
what might otherwise pass for a common
man, rises into hero or leader, sage or
saint. So widely has the scattered
the good seed; so strong is the germina-
tive force that bids it bud and blossom.
But alas! for the stony ground and the
weeds and the tares. For one who at
tains his full stature, how many are stunt
ed and deformed.n

TEE NEW YORK SENATOR'S.

A mixed dispatch Saturday evening led
the SENTINEL. into the commission OF an
error editorially on Sunday morning with
reference to the choice Of U. S. Senators
in New York. Warner Miller was chos-
en- to succeed Plat and not Conkling.
Lapham was not elected at all, bat seems
to be in striking distance. In yesterdays
balioting he was but five votes short OF
an election. The administration mem
bers are confident they will be able to
elect him to-day. The Conkling men adj
here to the standard of their leader with
a tenacity seldom equaled in the history
Of partisan strife. But it is apparent
that they must go down ultimately.
Lapham, being the caucus nominee, we
regard his election as morally certain be-
fore the expiration of the present session,
possibly within the next day or two.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Salt Lake Tribuna.

Whatever may be the reports from the
Eastern States and elsewhere, the business
outlook in Utah at present is remarkably
promising, and the trade Of the merchants,

compared with similar periods Of preceding
years. :.
Everything goes to show q remarkably
promising state Of affairs at present. Men
whose business throws them In daily con.

tory, say that reports are favorable from
all sections, and that the crops will be I'm.

and is not yet all in. The yards about the

Merchants say that they have never be-

remain at a steady figure, and, as well as
trade, hold their own from week to week.

EARLY IN THE FIGHT.

The Times Review brings forward for
the Democratic nomination for Governor
next year the name Of Captain Matt.
Canavan Of Storey County. The editor
Of the Times Review is a close personal
and political friend of Captain Canavan,
and no doubt speaks by authority IN
mentioning the Captain in this con-
%nection. 1t is almost a whole year too
early to begin to talk about local politics
and the CLAIMS of candidates, but as the
Times. Review has seen proper to start
the ball. the SENTINEL feels called upon
TO announce the preference Of that jour
nal as a matter Of news. Without gong
farther at this time, because it is ont OF
season, the SENTINEL may say that 1T
concurs with it's T~uscarora contemporary
in the %latter's estimate Of Captain Can
avan's ability to fill tho place in question.

by a minister, but he passes round the

used to be a bill poster in Chicago, and
does nothing but cover his patients with
porous plasters. The cemetery is run by
a couple Of actors, but they work off the

Eaten by FIJI Islanders.

The Fiji Times Of May Is contains the
following:
A strange tale OF c~annibalism has been
reported with all apparent circumstan-
TALLY; from the interior OF Win Lew.
The native teacher stationed at Ma Drau,
on being supplied with food by the town
folk, was Mortified to observe that a por-
ton Of it was human flesh. He at once
exclaimed against the food and refused to
eat it. Those who brought it to him adj
mitted that it was human flesh, and said
they had killed and cooked the Govern
ment officer, and if he persisted in refus-
ing to eat they would kill and cook him
also. In terror of his life he ate a little,
but took the first opportunity of escaping
from his terrible entertainers, and made
his way to the coast, where lie reported the
crime and subsequent abomination that
had been perpetrated. The report seems
almost incredible, but it is given on
authority which leaves but little doubt as
to its authenticity. Dissatisfaction with
the Government, of which the officer was
the representative, is said to have been tae
cause of the murder.

CnrroN ExrosIrInx.

There is every indication that the
great International Cotton Exposition, to
open at Atlanta, Ca, on Oct. 5, will be
a most emphatic success. The Director
General has issued a circular, in which
he announces that the l~iveliest interest
is being taken in the affair in all parts
OF the country; that the subscriptions
have been liberal, the entries large, and
that there is a certainty of an immense
throng Of visitors. OF course the ex.
position will have an excellent effect ON
the South, and for this, if for no other
reason, it should be literally encouraged.

London Cats in the Autumn. rFro,,, the at Jannps, Gazette-l

AS usual at the present season of the year, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has made an appeal to those who are leaving town to make due provision for the support of their cats during their absence. That such remonstrance is needed there can be no doubt; but, seeing that it has been repeat ed annually from the same quarter for many years, we are afraid that 1t will not have much effect. Cats are really very perfectly domesticated animals, and even the best con- ducted of them lead an extremely irregular life. It is impossible to keep cat within bounds like dog and, except in rare cases, nobody takes the same amount Of trouble about the first as the second. It would happen that anybody would leave dog ownerless to wander about the streets while he was away from home, or that dog should be shut up in an empty house without food But this is common fate for London cats in the autumn, and although they have a strange way of getting on under precar1ous conditions of life, they must undergo large amount of suffering. The proverb that cat has nine lives, it may be suspected, relates rather to the animrrs ability to escape dan OCT than any powers that it possesses of un- dergoing extraordinary suferlngs-and nun ger is among the most severe kinds of suffer ino to which most animals can be subjected. If is we'll known that horses that have been friehtfully mutilated in battle and left on the field have been found grazing with good aDpearance of appetite on the grass around them the next morning. There is no reason to suppose 1t otherwise with cats, or that the bangs of famine are not sufficiently severe with them as with horses, to overbaIance even extreme pain from physical injuries. The conclusion from which IS that, II people cannot or will not take care that their cats are not starved during their absence from home,1t would be far more merciful on their part to provide them with the means of euthanasla before they leave town.

The Shetland Wrecks.


 About calamity such as that which has befallen the Shetland Isles there is, after all, very little to be said. When kings and princes fall Actims to crime or accident the minutest details of what has happened are known and recorded. The sufferers are watched by observant eyes down to the very moment of the disaster, and among the sur vivors are sure to, be some who have taken note of every particular in the great mans bearing under the trial. It is not 50 when the victims are obscure fisherman, little skilled in the observation either of themselves or of others We can faintly picture to our selves the fine fishing weather of Wednesday week-weather which sent every available boat to sea, and promised to send them back with heavy takes and full purses the clouds that gathered as the night drew on, to burst with a suddenness which left the crew with their boats now far out at sea and their nets and lines set and the dread with which the wives and children of the fishermen watched the waves from day -break on the Thursday, dread which only went on increasing as the hours during which return was possible passed too quickly away. But beyond these generalities of misfortune there is nothing to be known The lost boats will yield no suf- vivors, and the seas of Shetland are 10th to give up their dead. Nowhere is the breakup of family life so sudden and so unrelieved as in the wrecks of these northern waters. In a thousand different ways women may be widowed, children left orphans, and parents deprived of the sons who are their only sup port But usually the dead are brought back and there is a little interval of silence ana
