Gan act to prevent the burning {

-"An act to prevent the burning or
cremating of human bodies after death"
was introduced in the Pennsylvania
Senate recently by Senator Nelson, OF
Wayne County, on the ground that "such
bodies are generally imported from other
States for cremation, and the practice is
contrary to the instincts Of humanity,
the Christian civilization of the age and
abhorrent to the masses of the people Of
the State" The penalty proposed is a
fine of from $500 to $1,000, or solitary
confinement at labor for from n to
three years, or both.

"A six-months experience with the
Brush electric light, in a large railway
station in California, thirty lights being
used every night an average of five hours,
gives an average cost for light per hour,
of eleven cents. The company making
the experiment reaches the conclusion
that "while the station was brilliantly H.
Illuminated by electricity, and better than
gas could possibly do it, yet that sufficient
light could have been obtained from gas
for half the money!

A Wagnerlan Adventure.

The strangely exceptional patronage
with which Wagner was favored by King
Louis II, may have had something to do
with this, as it is we'll known that tho
Bavarian Kings melomania has not been
pleasing to other German sovereigns,
owing to the public comments which it
has provoked. 1t was not quite so graft
flying to Wagner himself as has been
generally supposed-that is to say, that
some of its manifestations were at times
rather embarrassing. When the King
shut himself up with Wagner at Hohen-
schwagen, refusing to see his Ministers;
when he ordered midnight performances
of "~Lohengrin" at the Theater Royal for
himself alone, Wagner, who had an ear
for the murmurs Of the multitude, must
have unused uncomfortably on the fate
which is apt to overtake royal favorites
in times Of popular connection. Baron
ter of the Kings household, once wrote
to him peremptorily, Mmustse see the King
this afternoon, 50 arrange the matter
without fall" but Wagner had no more
power to contrive an audience with the.
King than he had to bestow u lock of the.
monarch's hair. A little adventure which
once cost him a bad ducking, and might
have had still worse results, illustrates
the precarious footing on which favorites
stand with a sovereign highly sensitive a.
to his dignity. A water party by moor
light had been organized on the lake neal
King Louis's summer palace, and q cele--
brated prima donna had been invited to-
sing some of the duets from Christian and
Isolde' with the King. Wagner, in his
fancy dress, and a page, who sculled,
completed the quartet in the royal boat.
It was all very poetical, and the lady,
carried away by the romance of the &C.
casion, made so bold as to administer a
gentle caress to the King, who resented
this breach of etiquette by a push which
sent her overheard. Wagner plunged
after the soprano, whose tuneful voice
was being raised with rare force, and
succeeded in rescuing her; but it was
q doleful party that presently stepped on
shore-Isolde sobbing and wringing out
her clothes, the Meistersinger creaking in
his shoes, Tristan murmuring as he stalked
away with an injured air, and the page,
no doubt, laughing in his sleeve, after
the manner Of his ~irreverent kind.
Wagner used to say that the King had
always given him more than he should
have dreamed Of asking, but that he had
been cured of profering requests by the
significant tone in which his Majesty
said "Nein" the first time he was asked
for something which it did not suit him
to grant.-LOnGOn Times.

Mr.. JOHN c. GAULT, just ap.
pointed commissioner for the Pacific
coast pool, may as well round up
his shoulders for savage and united
attack. He says he viii not go to
San Francisco, as the climate is
Objectionable to his family. In the
minds of the Californian, the
easterner who doesn't go into &C.
stacies over the San Francisco
climate, is a base wretch, ignorant
and foolish. A man may be suffer
ing agonies from the climate of the
Coast, and yet if he values his life
he will be careful while in San
Francisco to declare the atmosphere
and temperature the very perfection
of weather. AS a matter of fact,
Mr.. Gault is correct. The San
Francisco climate is simply abomin-
able to one who has been accustomed
to reputable weather. The four
seasons manage to crowd themselves
into one day, and if a fellow keeps
up with the changes he will do little
else than change his apparel, and
light and extingulsh fires,

INDIAN PoHYGAMX.

Commissioner Price, Of the
Indian Bureau, has taken upon him.
self tho work of abolishing polyg-
amy among the Indians, and judg-
ing from the outlook. he will have
quite as difficult a task as the gov
eminent is having in the effort to
stop the practice among the whites.
1t is well known that all OF the
semi-barbarous Tribes of Indians
are polygamous either in practice
or sentiment. Wherever the males
can afford it they have as many
wives as they desire, there being no
moral or other law known to them
prohibiting it. Naturally they do
not take kindly to Commissioner
Prices restrictions in the matter
and in some instances have openly
declared their intentions to disObey
the order. The Commissioners
plan is to form a court, the members
of which shall be Indians, to try
offenders and pronounce judgment
1t is provided that these judges
shall be selected from the respec-
tive tribes in which they are to
have Jurisdiction, and among the
qualifications are these: that they
shall be over q years Of age, and
monogamists. The agent of a
numerous tribe in New Mexico, de-
clares that he will be unable to form
the court, because all OF the intelli-
gent men in the band, of the desig-
mated age, are polygamists, and
none of them is willing to make
himself eligible by surrendering his
extra wives. It will be interesting
to watch the progress of Mr.. Prices
The Indians cannot
appeal to the law in the matter,
they will have to. submit to the
order, or reject it and defy the COM
missioner. Should they adopt the
latter course, what would Mr.. P ice
10 in the premises? He will hardly |
go to the length of imprisoning the |
Stubborn bucks, and yet it almost |
seems that he will have to do this |
,r admit that his order is a failure. |

EXTEND THE MAINS.

THE HERALD is not opposed to
the Improvement of the sanitary
condition of the city, as some Of cur
contemporaries, as well as the
plumbers and contractors, would
make it appear, from our opposition
to the sewerage scheme. We are
opposed to sewerage for the good
and sufficient reasons heretofore set
forth, and the confirmed belief that
under the present condition and
circumstances, it would prove inju-
rious rather than beneficial to
public health. If anybody will
devise a workable scheme for help
ing Salt Lake sanitarily, he will
find no more earnest advocate for its
adoption and execution than The
HERALD, which has ever been
found in the foremost ranks in any
progressive movement.
This journal has repeatedly
urged the extension of the water
mains as the best sanitary measure
that could be adopted. This can
be done, and should be, even to the
neglect of other improvements,
if necessary, or the increas-
ing of the taxes. 1t has
been demonstrated beyond doubt
Shat the rate of mortality is much
higher in those districts of the city
beyond the mains. Persons who
have given some attention to the
matter, and taken pains to gather
information on the subject, assert |
that the death rate is fully twice as
great where water from wells or
bitches is used for domestic pur-
poses as where the article is drawn
from the pipes. People accustomed
80 the hydrant water do not wonder
that this unfortunate condition
should exist when they taste
the water from wells in
the lower part of town.
Being fully aware of the low state
Of the city's finances, we neYerthe-
less think it is the duty of the corr
poration to extend the mains, carry
ing city creek water as far and fast
rs possible over the town, and
into disuse the wells that
are breeding disease among the peo-
pie. Net only should this be done
as a sanitary measure, but as an att
of justice and fairness to the tax
payers, whose money has already
gone into the WaterWorks.

A CABLE street railway in Salt
Lake sounds well, being suggestive
of wealth and Importance for the
city as well as better accommodation
for the public. We understand it is
the purpose of the company to ex-
tend the cable road along Second
South street from the railroad de-
pots to the eastern limits of the
city, and thence across the military
reservation to Fort Douglas, pro-
Yided of course grants can be OBJ.
tained. So far as the city is con-
cerned, there should be no doubt as
to the required permission being
given. and the enterprise encour-
aged in every reasonable manner.
A cable road means the expenditure
OF not less than $75,O a mile. and
the better accommodation of tie
public in it's operation than can
possibly be given on horse roads,
Second South is one of the few
populous and central streets that is
without street railway service at
any point 1t will be a good thing
to provide it with a cable line.
