very little information was obtained direct
from the physicians concerning the condit-

The absence of all reference in the bulletin
to the general condition of the President

sooner, this time, could have taken one thousand

Submit Ii Again.

Not long ago the council of this city, by unanimous
vote, adopted resolution asking the legislature to
submit to the people proposition to amend the con
stution Of the State by striking out the prohbitory
clause adopted last fall, and petition embodying
the request expressed in these resolutions has been
circulated for some days past and is being signed by
nearly all the business men of the city. The Cesou
tions of the council referred to in the petition, set
forth the fact, which probably no unprecedented man
will deny, that great many persons voted for the
amendment last fall without proper consideration
and without comprehending the probable effect of
its adoption. Many persons, actuated simply by q
desire to eradicate the evils of ntoxcation voted for
the amendment because they supposed il to be a
measure for that purpose, but did not give it the
careful thought necessary to enable them 10 that
il was an mpraeticable project, and that its effect
all restraint from dram shops and make free trade
in whisky, thus aggrayatng and increasing the very
evil which the voter desired to diminish. In fact
there is reasonable probability that such will be its
effect in all those PORTIONS of the State where liquor
permitted to be sold Mt the time of its adoption
for the 'dramshop act which heretofore Regulated
the traffic, permitted hquor-selling TO be licensed in
those communities that desired it, and allowed il to
be prohibited in those communities that did not de-
sire it That is, no liquor could he sold under the
old Law unless public sentiment permitted it. and
all experience goes to show that prohibitory law,
in communities where il Is not sustained by public
sentiment, cannot be enforced and that its effect Is
TO all restraint and make the traffic perfectly
free.
But aside from all this here certain facts which
cannot be disputed IL the people voted for this
measure, last fall, under Misrepresentation Of its
character they ought to be permitted to correct their
Mistakes if they understood the measure. and voted
for IL inteligenty, the majority that carried it
once carry il again; and in any event, there
be no wrong and no danger in giving the people
fair chance TO be heard, hence the request have
able and proper, and ought to be granied--Lea'en-

The Utah Northern Marrow Gouge,- as some
term il, pays taxes to this County on IS miles of
grade. This road is pushing toward Butte the best
mining town in the Territory. 1t would be quite
novelty for people in the States to see how the
buildings were constructed in towns on this road
while it was building from Ogden up through the
mountains Houses Of all kinds, hotels stores. and
dwellings, were made in sections, somewha, similar
to the Tabernacle Of old, with a view to taking
down, loading on cars, and moving, when the termi
nus moved, they being no longer needed in that
place, after the road passed. Thus it may be seen
that town of 500 or GOO inhabitants might prosper
and fourish for time, and in few short weeks, the
place that knew it once, only be known by a single
depot surrounded by mountains, the real town be-
ing thirty or forty miles farther on Just think of

week, and the next week teachers scholars and all

~ A correspondent of the Chief recently ex-
pressed the opinion that the Speaker had con-
stituted the Congressional Apportionment Com
mittee of the House for the especial benefit of
the Third District, and for the purpose of plac-
ing the other two Districts in the back ground,
as far as giving them any choice in the Appor-
tionment was concerned. From the complaints
of the papers, the misgiyings of our correspond
cnt were well founded and the Committee have
reported most outrageous bill. But the wild
Texas steers have no power to carry their bill
through. Let the members from the First and

TROY, KANSAS:
Estate Alliance ,

We have received circular and Constitu
ton of Subordinate Alliance" from person at
Topeka who writes himself Secretary of the
State Alliance. The circular calls upon farmer,
TO organize Alliances everywhere, and to write
to the Secretary for Charter. The Constitu.
tion has two features which stand forth promi-
nently, and seem to be the leading ideas of the or
ganization. The duties of the Treasurer and Fl
nance Committee are laid down at length, which
means that the farmers who go in, must pull out
their pocket-books at the door, and keep them
out, that the officers, grand and subordinate,
who expect to live at their expense, may not
suffer for funds. The other special feature makes
the Alliance political organization, which of
itself should damn it in the eyes of all genuine
farmers.
We presume the farmers Of Kansas have sense
enough to learn from experience, and with the
Grange fresh in their memories, long drawn out
through the Greenback humbug, they will not
soon bite again at such elap-trap organizations
The farmers spent thousands Of dollars in the
Grange movement, and received benefit.
Where did the money goi A few lOafers who
managed to keep themselves at the head of il,
gobbled up the funds. The farmers of Kansas
almost bankrupted themselves running after the
Grange and the Greenback movement. Since
they have got their eyes open, and gone to hard
work, they are gradually coming out from be-
meath the burdensome mortgages on their farms.
Now another evil has beset the farmers, in the
matter Of transportation and freights, and the
occasion brings forth its men. We have State
Alliance, headed by lot of sharpers, who want
good salaries to live on, paid out of the pockets
Of farmers, and gang of unprincipled dems-
gogues, who have killed everything they ever
touched, whoare ready to place themselves at
the head of this new party, and ride into office
by the votes of duped farmers. The farmers
need redress, but we warn them not to seek it by
throwing themselves into tine clutches of these
frauds. The existing evils are bad enough,
without the additional one of being trified with
and swiDdled by those who put themselves for
ward As their allies and benefactors.
