How TO MEASURE AN ACRE. = Few
farmers know the size of their fields, or
how many acres they contain, though it
is desirable at all times, and sometimes
necessary that they should. An exchange
referring to this matter says: A measur-
ing cord should be part of the furniture
ON the farm. To make one, procure "
feet of strong rope, one inch round;
make loop or fastsn ring on . bar ct
each end, and make these precisely 66
feet apart. This is four rods. One acrN
of ground will be piece CT four OF thess
cords (chains) long and two and one-half
wide, equal 10 sixteen by ten rods, max
ing 100 square rods 10 one acre. The
advantages OF the ring or loop il that one
person alone can measure alone by duv'
ing stake in the ground 10 hold the
rope while he stretches il out. The
rope should BE- soeksd in tar and dried,
which WIN prevent Il from shrinking

Johnny explained to him that we
thought he would pay us for our teeth
so that We could help our poor father.
The dentist began to laugh, and said
he didn't pay for teeth; but he would
give us q letter that would make it all
right.
So he wrote letter, and sealed it, and
told Johnny to be sure to give It TO
Father. He kept Laughing all the time
he vas writing Il, and We thought he was
the pleassntest man in the world.
when We got home, johnny said we'd
better wait till after dinner TO give

TIE GOVERNORS OFFICERS.

Elsewhere i'll this issue Of the
HERALD viii be found the names
of the persons designated by Cover
nor Murray to occupy certain offices
IN this territory. As is well I'M
derstOod, his eXcenency claims the
right to appoint. by virtue Of the
clause in the sundry civil bill au-
thOrizing him to fill vacancies
caused by the lapse Of the August
election. 1t is not the intention at
this time to comment on the Gov
errors selections, but merely
to say that the present incum-
bents will not surrender their
Offices before struggle to
retain them. The governors right
to appoint IS denied quite generally,
not alone by the of1iciais them
selves, but b.. thejbar with remark
ably few exceptions, these latter be-
ing interested parties. Several of
the leading law firms Of the Terri
tory have been retained to defend
the incumbents in their rights to
"hoId over" until their successors
are duly elected and Hqualifed as
provided by law. It is denied that
there are any vacancies that can
be filed by his. .exceIle1cy, and
there will be no surrender of Office
il the law will sustain the incum-
bents in their positions. 1t is evident
that 8 lively, persistent, hard fought
and interesting legal struggle will
begin at once. Nobody can more
than guess as to the end of the bat
tie. for if the Governor appointees
sh4I exercise the same degree Of de-
termination to get the Offices
as will characterize the present
holders to stick, the Igear
resources of the Law and the
shrewdness of lawyers viii be ex-
hausted in the contest. Meantime
the people need lot be excited or
alarmed. The affair is not killing
one. It can be settled in the courts |
without wrecking thingsIvery badly. !
It will be seen that his exceIlen2y, !
long as his list is, has provided for
only about half of the counties, from
which fact it is presumed he has
either run out of material, or does
not consider that "vacancies" exist
in the counties to which no appoint
ments have been made.

The Law SUSTAINED.

The decisions Of Judges Hunter
ana Emerson, affirming the validity
of the woman suffrage law, are sad
disappointments to the liberals, .
who were confident almost 10 posi-
tiveness that the ruling would go
the other way. We are not so sure
that a good many of the Peoples
party did not expect a different
opinion to the one that has been
given. They believed the suffrage
act was a good law, and felt that it
ought to beimaintained; but in these
times Of acknowledgements and
Iessenings of the Peoples votes by
tricks and bubbles, not a few
rather expected advantage would be
taken Of some teehnicality to get rid
Of the women vote. However, the
judges have risen above party feel
ing and party prejudice, and sus-
tanned the act. Their hOnOrS are
entitled TO the credit that
is due a judge for decid-
ing as he finds and believes
the law to be, without regard to the
consequences. The legislature Of
Utah wanted to confer the right of
suffrage upon women they believed
they had the right to do so. and in
good faith they undertook it: the
action has stood unquestioned for
twelve years, the Congress Of the
United States acceptiHg it, the
people Of the country recognizing it,
md those most interested in the
natter, the residents of Utah, being
with it. Only a few sore
read were displeased with the oper-
tiOns Of the law, and their objee-
ions arose from the fact that the
women persistently refused to vote
Jr them or their friends. The dis
sought the oyerturning
the law, and it is believed that
,ickery was to be employed, but if
}, the conspiracy failed, and the :
latter came up where it could be
iirly and publicly argued, and
le validity Of the law shown.
he result has been the sustaining Of Z
Ie act, and the women will be per-
tilted to vote as in the past. After
e attempt on the part of the
liberals" to deprive the women Of a
e right Of suffrage. it is hardly to
expected many of the ladies will
te the liberal" ticket. :.

THE REGISTRATION for the city
complete shows a total Of over $500
names Ton the list. This is in the
ratio Of one voter to every four and
a half of population. If the proper
ton holds good throughout the ter
ritory, as it probably will, provided
the same energy and earne8tness
have been manifested elsewhere as
here, the registration will come up
very nearly to the HERALD's first
estimate Of $4,000. The city regi-
strati0n has been very complete, and
we believe is quite correct. Remark
ably few persons entitled to vote
have failed to register, and close
watch Of the registration has shown
little or no listing Of persons in
eligible under the Commissions |
rules. 1t will be seen by the returns !
publish ed elsewhere that the female |
is quite large, being
about two-ffths of the total. This
is larger than was anticipated, and
if the proportion holds good
throughout the territory, the woman
vote will amount to nearly 1900.

You MAY gamble that it will
cost the Governors officials more
than the salaries of the respective
positions to which they have been
assigned before they are duly in
stalled; and all the time they must
feel that they are just the persons
the people do not want in Office.
The harder they fight for the places,
the less respect will the community
have for them.

THE venerable Pigiron Kelley says, in an
interview, that he believes Kasson wants

sequence is not clear, but perhaps there is
more than ordinary anxiety depicted in
Kasson's manner when he propounds the
polite enquiry.
= But we may say, without fear of success
ful contradiction, that if every person who
thinks the venerable Pigiron has seen his

WE HAVE but two suggestions for our
esteemed friend, Major Hams, in regard to
the improvement of the Flats and Harbor,
of which he has just taken charge. One Is
to steer clear Of the noble army of 'sani-
tary engineers who will inundatc him
with schemes. The other is to begin his
operation by compelling the railroad COM
pany to remove their wretched dam, which
they call a "causeway," and to substitute
in its place bridge that will not obstruct
tho flow of water at any stage, and that
will present some architectural merit as
well. There can be no effective reclama-
tion of the Flats or restoration of the upper
harbor so long as that dam Is allowed to
stand. That fact is clear to any observer.
To A MAN up tree it is easily apparent
that the Readjuster bosses have made a
blunder in beating DIR. Jorgenson for tho
Congressional nomination in tho Petersburg
District We do not know who Mr.. B. s..
Hooper is, but we do know that he will have
to be nominated and elected several times
before he becomes as useful oras influential
legislator as the Doctor. But, apart from
personal considerations, the defeat of Jor-
gensen bears unmistakablc evidences of q
spirit of bossism and tendency to inilict
punishment which are altogether too pre-
cocious for thepermanent welfare of n party
so young as the Readjuster party is. There
can be no doubt that the defeat of Jorgen-
sen was set up from the beginning. 1t will
be remembered that he was trihe slow
about giving in his adhesion to the coali-
ti0n programme, and even when he did
acquiesce, it was mainly through the bull
doing of the ReadjusteI- Republican
ministration organ hero in Washington,
with the knowledge that the President,
with his patronage sat behind the screen to
"bank the game"
Jorgonsen has carried that district for
the Republican party time and time again
when Republicanism in Virginia was a
forlorn-hope, and now it seems rough to
make him ono Of the first sacrifices to pro-
pitiate the new gods.
If the President and his organist, Brother
Gorham. conceive that tho proper aud
practicable way to revolutionize the Solid
South is to begin by slaughtering the few
Republicans who made successful battle
thcro when it was solidest, they will probab
ly not remain long unapprised of their blum
der. The defeat of Jorgensen, at the be-
hest of the Readiuster bosses and with ta'
unmistakable connivanec of the President
and Brother Gorham, will not advance the
fortunes of the now deal; but will rather
serve as warning to Southern Republi-
cans that the new deal means everything
to take and nothing to give. This is the
most fatal chamcter that any now pollti-
cal movement can assume. Aud tho Re-
adjuster party will soon discover that 4
does not pay to drive of two Republican
in order to win one Democrat.
