WE CANNOT understand why
Judge VanZile should object to be-
ing called a carpet-bagger. He an
swers the popular Interpretation of
the term exactly. Now, if there is
any disgrace in being a carpet-bag-
ger, why does he so persistently fol-
low the vocation2 Nobody compels
him to be a carpet-bagger. The
truth is he sought the position and
title, and has since done all he could
to retain both. Then why should
he complain about being referred to
in his true characterF There is
something radically wrong in Judge
YanZiIe's composition and temper
ament. We imagine he must be
given to complaint and fault-find-
ing. 1t is evident he is a hard man
to please. Perhaps if we were to
say he was no grip-sacker he would
Immediately declare his undying
love for the grip-sack as something
deserving of political distinction
and reward. How is anybody to
satisfy man so unreasonably con
trary as he?

TO the Public and Whomsoeoer ii
mag Concern:
I have this day sold to the john
w. LEVEL Wagon Company, of
which I am president and principal
stakeholder, my good will and stock
in trade and buildings.
[ take this occasion to tender nv
sincere thanks to the public at large
for their generous patronage for the
eleven years I have been in business
here, and especially to those warm
friends who have taken such an in
terest in my welfare. But few DAYS
have elapsed for years without some
new customer saying tome; 81 was
recommended to come to you by Mr..
-, a friend of yours" Kind
friends, your friendship, sympathy
and assistance will never be for
gotten.
Messrs. Justin Z. Morse, John
Farmer. Martin O. Johnson and
Carlin D. Joslyn, who are the other
directors and own the balance of the
stock OF the new company, are all
young men who have been in my
employ from four to seven years,
and are pretty well known to the
general public. We shall continue
the same line of business as hereto
fore, and trust that the John w.
Lowell Wagon Company will merit
and receive fair share of public
patronage.
Yours, very respectfully,
JOHN w. LOWELL.

CONGRESS AND UTAH.

Utah has both hopes and fears Of
the present Congress next winter.
One faction hopes Congress will
again wrestle the local problem,
and this time go farther than ever
before in vicious legislation; while
others Efear more will be done
in the way Of injurious law-makiRg
for the Territory, We believe the
very large majority are not exer-
cised in the least by these hopes or
fears. The senseless howl about
Utah eliminated last spring in the
passage of the Edmunds act. There
have been spasm0dic yelps since,
but the refrain began to
subside when the law re-
ceiYed the executive appr oval,
and has grown fainter and fainter
ever since until the present, when
not one person is talking or think
ingof Utah, where there were one
hundred doing both last winter. To
be sure it is possible that Congress
viii soon again try its hand at spe-
ciaI legislation dealing with the
Mormon question. but it is not
probable that it will do so. Con
gress may insist upon being incon-
sistent and childish, but we do not
believe it viii this winter. The
Edmunds act goes farther than Con-
gress has ever before gone. 1t dis
franchises without complaint or
trial q large number of persons, de-
priving them both of the right to
vote and hold Office. 1t takes
the whole election machinery
out of the hands of the people and
places it with persons who may do
right or wrong, their personal honor
and ideas of justice alone restrain
ing them from the preparation of
grave ontrages. 1t radically changes
the law in regard to bigamy, and
deals with an offense that Congress
has never before assumed to legis-
late upon.
Having gone SO far it is but rea-
sonable to presume that Congress
will wait long enough to give its law
q chance and see the results of a
fair test lit were going TO apply
amore stringent act, why should it
have gone through with the farce of
enacting this one? 1t is not
reasonable that the law will
be superseded before it has gone
into operation, and it cannot pos
sibly be put with effect before the
general election next August.
Another reasonEwhy nothing is
likely to be done this winter is the
fact that this is the short session.

CAPITAL Punishment in France.

An execution i'm France has become
so rare since NJ. Grevy's ascension to the
Presidency that recent event of this
sort, which was the second only within
three years, has created something of q
sensation. The number of executions
since the beginning of the century has
been steadily decreasing both in Paris
and in the provinces. In the first quar-
ter of the century the average of the
whole of France was about 120 year;
and in the second half, during which
the forging of bank-checks ceased to be
a capital offense, only 999 persons were
executed out Of i, 1858 sentenced to
death, this being equivalent to an aver
age of rather less than 40 q year. Dur
ing the ten years from 1906 1860 there
was further decrease of 2S3 executions
out of 5O2 capital sentences. or 90 per
annum; while between 1860 and 1870
only 119 persons were executed, or only
10 each year. In the nine years from
1871 to 1879 inclusive there were SO exc
cutions. %-ssse s. ~
