The Binkley hotel at Sherman, one of the
best constructed and most convenient hotel
buildings in the state, has been rather I'M
fortunate in its propretorship for several
years past. IT, hosts have promised great
deal and performed but little; but we are
more than pleased to announce that at last
its management has passed into hands. the
simple announcement of which is sufficient
to bring smile of satisfaction to the face
OF every gentleman who visits Sherman.
Mr.. j. II. Brown, for some time past Of the
Lindsey house at Gainesville, known to
every tourist who visits this section as one
of the most successful hotel men in the
business, is now RAINING the Binklcy, and
a general and agreeable change has taken
place in the management of that hostelry
This simple announcement is sufficient to
inspire guests with full confidence Of the
best of treatment. Mr.. Browns genialty
and liberality are too well known to need
our praise.

Domestic Life Among the
BattaS.

The Balta does not make his
morning toilet in the house, but at
the special bathing places, or pant
jltrS, with which every village is pro-
vided. These places are arranged at
running stream or canal made
for the purpose, by fixing water
pipe of bamboo in euch a manner
that man standing or sitting under
it can have the water run sll over
his body. Such baths are taken
morning and evening. Separate
pan5urS are provided for the women.
1t is one of the morning duties of the
women and girls, even down to
children of four and five years old, to
bring drinking water in the gGrgitis,
a water vessel made of thick stick
OF bamboo. The size and strength OF
growing girls are generally measured
by the number Of gGTgttds they can
carry.
Let as follow a woman into one OF
the inelosed dWelling-houses. The
floor is made OF round bamboo beams
about 80 large Us one's arm, across
which are laid split bamboos far
enough apart to let the water and
dirt through, and make sweeping IN
necessary. Broad raised seats and
lounges, covered with mats of var
ious patterns and styles, are arranged
on either side, In the corners are
fire. places of a primeval simplicity,

THE TRAMP.

In times past Salt Lake has been
moderately free from the national
nuisance of tramps. Our isolation
has been a protection, and the harsh
treatment given the loafer8 hasalso
heIped to keep them away. But a
change has come; the town is liter
allv alive with the thieves and
bummers, who are encountered day
and night prowling about the
streets and lettering in low saloons.
The numerous assaults on footmen
at night, and the many burglaries
and thefts recorded in the news
papers, may be attributed to the
lazy, dirty loaferS who infest the
place. The time has come for in
augurating a raid upon the tramps,
and it strikes US the place to begin
it is at the police court. If they
viii persist in coming to Salt Lake
make them earn their board. There
is nothing the genuine tramp sc
much dislikes as work, hence labor
is what should be his portion
There Will be no difficulty in spot
ting a score or more of the worth
less nomads, and if the rule be tt
sentence them to fifty or one hun
dred days labor with the chain-ganl
on the streets, the town will no
only be free, but the result will be-
beneficial in causing tramps to steel
clear of Salt Lake. Few of then
will risk a second sentence, and the
Rulcted ones will not be slow tc
warn the fraternity against the I'M
healthy atmosphere of this locality
The police justice can place the
community under obligations to
him at this time.

JUDGE VAN ZILE must be ex-
tremely anxious to misrepresent
the people of Utah in Congress,
otherwise he would never have
shown the broadside of impudent
cheek which was displayed in his
protest against the issuance of the
certificate of election to Mr.. Game.
The Judge probably had the idea
that the commission was composed
of men Of the moral, intellectual
and mathematical calibre of Gov
ernor Murray, who insisted that
1881 was a larger number than
1865. AS it was the Commits
sinners happened to be better edu-
Gated in mathematics than his ex-
cellency, and had a higher regard
for the voice of the people than he;
hence they properly and promptly
sat down upon the carpet-bagger,
and showed him that votes and not
bluff counted in the case. Judge
VanZile, if he chooses, may carry
his silly protest to Washington,
where he is certain of receiving
another snub.

LIBERALS LOSING GROUND.

The vote at the late election WIS
not SO full as was expected, but it
was much larger than is usually
cast elsewhere, even when the con-
test is exciting. The total returned
to the Commission, and upon which
the certificate of election was issued,
was 1885, or 81 per cent. of the
total number of persons registered.
Some precincts have not been re-
ported, and THE HERALD has had
some returns that for some reason
have not yet reached the Commits
sion. The votes cast would probably
reach Sc per cent of the total num-
Der entitled to vote. Three-fourths
Of the registration is everywhere
considered a full vote. The number
of ballots deposited in the boxes on
the It'll instant, shows how earnest
the people were in the matter, and
what a little campaigning will do.
The result of the ballottiGg is all
that was expected. The Liberal
candidate drew cut the full
strength of his party, and re-
ceiYed less than 5000 votes, while
over $4,000 were east for the
Peoples nominee, whose majority
was 6,155. These figures show very
correctly the relative strength of
the parties in this Territory, and
also verify THE HERALD's figures
published before ," . registration be-
gan, namely, tt -, Peoples Party
numbered four to OF Liberal. The
returns also demonstrate that the
Liberals are gaining nothing in the
Territory, while the People areI
advancing. In 1874 the Lib
eraI nominee polied 4,57S votes, or
only 3GG less than were polled for
VanZile last week. At that election
