Brother Gardner Addressing Detroit Lime-kil
Club.1
Folks to Keep Away From.

"Dar' am sartin folkses want to keep away
FROM" began the old man as the voices of the
Glee Club died away on the last strains OF "Sa-
rah James baby" mean that class OF people
who groan ober de wickedness of de world, an
who have heartaches an sorrows to peddle
aroun de kentry at de reg lar market rates.
Dar' am de old man Turner. He comes ober to
see me now and den, but he can't sot still kase
somebody stole his dog or hit him wild a brick
bat, or beat him out Of seventy-fve cents. He
fully believes dat de world am gwine to smash
at de rate of fifteen miles an hour, an it would
eanemost kill him to lose his old wallet an'find
q man honest huff to return it."
"De Widder Plumsell comes ober to borry
some butter for supper, an she draps down on
a char an heaves sigh as big as barn doah
an goes on to say dis am cold an unfeelin'
world. 'Cordin to her tell all men am dishon-
est, all women extravagant, an all chil'en just
ready to come down wild de measles. Tears run
down her cheeks as she tells how she has to
work an plan while every body else has money
to frow inter Lake Erie, an she wipes her nose
on her apron as she asserts dat dis wicked world
can't stan mo- dan fo' weeks longer.
deacon Striper draps in to eat popcorn wld
me of Friday ebenin' an he hardly gets out
from under his hat befo he begins to tell what
his first wife died Of; how issecond ran away;
how histhird broke her leg by fallin' off fence
an cost him $28.14 for DOCTORS bill, an befo'
he gets frew you couldn't make him believe
but what he hull world was dead agin him. He
predicts late spring, hot summer, poor crops
high prices, bloody war, an goes home feelin'
dat he am stoppin on airth only to accommodate
somebody.
"I have no sorrow of my own, I've been
robbed but dat was kase / left winder up.
I've been swindled, but dat was kase l thought
fo' queens would beat TO- aces. I've bought
lottery tickets which didn't draw; I've been
sick unto death an I've bin shot in de back
wild hull brick yard, but do not sorrow an
do not ak for sympathy. De world am plenty
good huff fur de class of people livin' in 1t;
Honest men am not lonesome for company, an
honest women am sartin to be appreciated. De
janitor will now open fo' windows an we Will
purceed to biZness."

THE operation of the Edmunds anti-polyg-
amy bill will be watched with interest. Under
it all registration and election offices of every
description in Utah Territory are va
Gated, and provision is made for the appoint
ment of commission by the President to
register voters, conduct elections, canvass
returns and issue certificates of election.
The commission is to have five members, to
be confirmed by the Senate, and to be divid-
ed between the political parties. The act
further deprives polygamists of the privilege
of votingor holding Office, and, what with
this limitation of suffrage and the commits
sion to enforce it, it is believed that Legis-
lature of non-polygamists, and one not sub
ject to the control of polygamists, will be
chosen. The first Legislature to be elected
hereafter (under the provisions of the new
act, of course), will have authority to re-es-
tablish and refill the election and registra-
tion offices which the appointed board super
sedes for the time being. 1t is of the utmost
importance to have the commission COM
posed of able men, sound anti-Mormons,
and with wills of their own. President Ar
thur is reported to have made up his mind
to appoint no resident of Utah to the board,
and in this he has reached wise decision.

OSCAR Wilde

A prominent New York
Artist photographed a
short time ago Mr.. Oscar
Wilde, the Esthetic apostle,
i'm many positions which
are very characteristic, as
being explanatory of the
doctrines of this new dis
ciple. Among many of the
compositions which were
emblematic, were some,
with the dim and shadOWy
patterns of sunfi0Wers and
lilies OH the walls, and used
as acce sOries in the interi-
Ors, and when exterior
compositions were used,
then the artist was equally
happy i'm their arrangement
The proof of the negatives
gave Mr.. Wilde the greatest
satisfaction, as does the
Esthetic and other poses of

RUTLAND Herald: A very small portion
of male voters ever held office, and would be
no more likely to be voted into offices for
which they were not adapted than men;
women have Just as much time for political
duties that deserve their attention as any
busy man has. Is any women buster with
children and household cares than busy
lawyer, doctor, merchant, manufacturer or
railroad superintendent? The dramatic or
operatic stage does not make women vulgar;
the lecture platform does not make them un-
lovely; the women who have succeeded as
doctors and lawyers are not unrefned nor
offensive in manner or character. Shall it
be said then that the public exercise of the
suffrage by such women as choose to exer-
else it cannot be made a practical expert
ment without every wife and mother becsm-
ing as noisy and vulgar at the polls as
Tammany precinct on election day? The
success Of the Wyoming experiment would
