ANOTHER BURGLAR alarm has
been invented, and the inventors
think SO much Of it that they are
taking course to keep it all to
themselves. It resembles wooden
mating, and consists Of strips of
wood four feet long, an inch aud a
half wide and an eighth of an inch
thick, fastened together with cloth
so they can be rolled up. Every
other strip is Cited with wires and
brass springs which separate two
series of fiat brass plates, to each OF
which is attached wire which con-
meets with a battery and an electric
bell. When one steps OF the mat
ting the two series of plates are
pressed together, and the circuit is
made. This rings the electric hell
and simultaneously turns on
and lights a gas jet, if desired.
TIE mating, like the telephone, is
not to be sold, but rented. the charge
being five cents a day for each piece
furnished. as ordinary homes
would require from two to six
mats, the alarm would soon prove
a good deal more expensive than
the burglars. The house owner
would make money by calling the
burglars together quarterly or semi
annually, and declaring dividend,
giving them half of the movable
valuables in the residence. So also
in the matter of the telephone; ii

truancy it would pay to switch eff

THINGS LOOK as if Ben Butler
had made mistake in becoming 2
candidate for reelection. 1t was
the ambition of his life to be Gov
.ernor of Massachusetts,, and having
succeeded, both in his struggle and
in his administration, he might have
been satisfied, and retired to enjoy
his cid age and his hon0rs. How
ever his ambition was too much tor
him, and he has gone In again. this
time to be left. It was all right to
be defeated before, for failure then
carried with it no censure nor dis
approval; now, a rout means repu-
diation of the man and his admins
tration. The better element in the
Democratic party is doing all it can
against Butler; it is doing so much
in fact that it is believed his cleo
ton is impossible.

On THE CARS.


- October 5, 1888.
Editors Herald:
Our excursion over the great
scenic route of America to Chicago
and st. Louis, left Salt Lake city on
the 9th ult. The party stayed to-
gether until they arrived at Colorado
Springs, where some remained a day
or 80, while some went Oh to Dena
yer and others straight through to
their destination. all seemed to en-
JOY themselves to the fullest extent.
Those who left home in rather deli
cate health have found a good appe-
tite. How could they do otherwise
in passing over a country where
such profusion of grand and beau
tiful scenery exists along its entire
length? There are mountains of
every conceivable shape and size:
secluded parks, containing long
stretches of the fairest farm land:
foaming torrents and broad rivers |:
wild, dark canyons; dense thickets
and mirror. like lakes nesting be-
meath green mountain slopes. The
topography constantly changes;
now the eye rests on the widest
grandeur, and where the elements
hold uncontested sway; then the
scene is mild and beautiful, with
rich simplicity. at one time con-
fusion, at another perfect order !;
Arctic heights this hour, summer
loWlandS the next. Farms are lost,
only to reappesr beyond the forests
which intervene; tiny streams be-
come wide rivers, and changes are
wrought as quick as thought while
moving on from town to city. The
Black canyon of the Gunnison is
deep, dark and beautiful. It never
tires, never becomes common
place. Here water -fall starts
from a dizzy height, is dashed
into fragments by lower ter
races, and, tossed by the wind,
reaches the river in fine white
spray; there another cataract leaps
clear of the walls, and thunders un-
broken upon the ground beside us.

the canyon narrOws, and is full of

At the junction of the Gunnison

gorge, from which the beauties of
the canyon are seen at their best.
SOmhre shades prevail, the streams
fill the space with heavy roars, and
the sunlight falls upon the topmost

dark red walls. Huge boulders lie
scattered about; ftful winds sweep
down the deep cliffs; nature has

and the place is one appealing to our
deepest feelings. 1t greets us as a
thing Of beauty, and will remain
in our memory a Joy forever.
We soon arrived at Salida, where
we were overtaken by. the shades of
night, and splendid supper of

over in the night, and may give ii
attention on my return. Every
effort is being made by the Denver

all along, will surely have liberal

THE PROMOTERS OF the Salt LAX e
Mining Institute are meeting with
fairly good encouragement. The
soliciting or finance committee re
port that the project is well re-
ceived by the miners and business
men, and subscriptions are coming
in satisfactorily. There is no longer
any doubt as to the opening of the
institute, and there should be no
question as to its permanency. The
benefits to be derived from the
institution are readily recognized by
intelligent, progressive people, who
are therefore glad to extend it en-

CRIME AND THE COURTS.

ing wiser, the portion Of it included
in the United States seems to bt
growing more wicked. During the
past few weeks there has been g
steady growth Of crime, until very
large proportion of our telegraphic
columns is filled with accounts of
murders. suicides, rapes, lynchlngs,
defalcations, and so on through the
whole caller dar of criminalities and
misdeeds. Column after column of
these recitals come over the wires
every day. The reporters and press
agents have seemingly drunk of the
spirit of the thing, for they dilate
upon the crimes glowingly, and re
count the details much more fully
than they do the affairs of state, or
the proceedings of a church congress.
The mania is not confined to any
particular section, east, west, north
and south each contributing its fair
proportion of the deplorably large
aggregate. If one would take the
trouble to collect from the daily
papers for a single month. the stor-
les of crime and wrong.doing, he
Woald find himself in possession of
material for a large and highly sem
sational volume-one that would be
mere awful as a whole and more
disgusting in detail than the aver
age books of crime that are put
forth to entertain the depraved and
morbid.
The seeming tendency of the
times in this matter suggests more
vigorous and effective work for
both the church and state-the one
as a moral reformer, the other as a
restrainer and punisher of Grim.
inals. The church can find
as fair opportunity for missions
here at home, in the midst of
civilization and refinement, as
among the pagans of Asia and
Africa; and certainly there is as
great need for redeeming efforts
here as abroad. But the looseness
in the administration of tie law,
and the uncertainty of justice, are
largely responsible for the alarming
increase of crime. We do not be-
lieve the brutal Iynchings in this
Territory a few weeks ago would
have occurred had the 1awlacquired
a reputation for swiftness and eff
fectiveness. The people felt that
Justice was as slow az it was I'M
certain, hence they disregaried the
law and civilized modes of proceed
ure, and disgraced the community
by madiy adding another crime to
those already perpetrated. Generally
speaking the same unhappy condi-
ton of things exists everywhere.
The law has been administered in
such manner as to excite
contempt for it. rather than
fear or respect. The criminal
is more afraid that he will be una
BILE to obtain the services of a
shrewd lawyer than he is of suffer-
ing the prescribed penalty for his
crime, no matter how severe punish
ment the statute may provide. The
laws are good enough, generally
speaking. The evil lies in the lack
of enforcement.
The prevalence OF crime and the
growing mania for wrongdoing,
with the plainly apparent disregard
for the threats of justice, should
spur the courts to greater activity
and thoroughness. If something be
not done in the matter, it begins to
look as if there would be no need
for criminal courts. Every man
will become his own protector, and
communities resolve themselves into
lawless avengers.

He is after Pharoh's chariots, and the

damage by frost was very severe IN the
northern half of the state, and light in the
southern half.
The condition of the following crops is in
comparison with full average crop or con-
dtion represented by 100 per cent: Pota-

than these estimates No further crop re-
port will be made this year, except the final
one in December, giving the final estimates
