JUSTICE OR BLACKMAL?
Hurd Amer Brewster and his Min
ions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Congressman
; Frank Hurd, Of Toledo, Is after a scalp.
He states that he will soon ask the
House to investigate Attorney General
Brewster and the department of Justice.
He will do this In consequence Of a
number of charges made by responsible
citizens. In reference to the nature OF
the charges he said, briefly, that the de-
partment Is run by set Of irresponsi-
BILE detectives; that the whole outside
business seems to be confined to a gen.
eral agent, as he is called, who has col
lected about himself men discharged for
improper practices from other depart
ments, and who is using the authority
of the Government to blackmail and
persecute citizens all over the country.
"Who and what is the general agent%'
said Mr.. Hurd. "There is no authority
of law for any such Office, but the per.
son who calls himself by that title bears
the name of Brewster Cameron. OF
course cannot say, until the evidence
In support of the charges is presented,
what the result of the Investigation will
be: but i'm view of the statements which
have been made to me ] have no other
alternative than to ask an investigation,
I am not the only member to whom il
has been reported that the department
of Justice needed looking into, and 1 do
not think the House will refuse to or
der an investigation
"Do the charges affect the Attorney
General himself?, was asked Mr.. Hurd.
"That l will not say" he replied;
tother members have told me that they
do. will only say this, that if the
evidence shows that If the detectives of
the department have been guilty of do
ing things with which they are charged
and the ATTORNEY General was cogniz-
ant thereof, and permitted them to go
on with their prosecutions of persons
whom they could not use, or had for
any reason spite against, he ought to be
imprisoned, and in my judgment will
be impeached."

One of the queerest curiosities on the
globe is man with silver skull, who
is now visiting in Louisville, Ky. Dur
ing fiercely contested battle in the
late war he was struck in the head with
piece of shell, which tore away the en-
tire top of his skull. leaving the brain
most horribly exposed. Strange to say
he survived the terrible wound, and a
surgeon succeeded in fitting a silver
plate over the opening, which shielded
the brain equally as well as the skull.
This plate is about the size of mans
hand, and works on hinges, and may
be raised up and down at will. The re-
skulled man does not experience the
least pain, and as he wears a wig all ev-
idence of shattered skull is concealed.

Renting Farms.

OF all that appertains to agricultu.
raj matters that of renting farms is the
most unsatisfactory. In 80 cases out
of 100 both the landlord and the one
who rents the farm are not satisfied
with the result 1t matters not how
good condition farm be in, year or
two of renting will have destroyed its
productiveness The tenant may be
the very best kind of a farmer, the re-
suit will be the same. 1t is kind of
law of nature that rentirg of farms is
Improbable to the owner as we'll as to
the occupant. In journeying through
the rura. districts, farm that is rent
ed can always he'selected from those
which are worked by its owner. The
dilapidated state of the buildings, the
broken gates, the tumbledown fences,
the mammoth crop of weeds, the un-
thrifty general appearance-the air of
desolation and destruction, are all too
fragrant not to be observed. The rent
ed farm is free to be plucked IN every
possible manner. 1t is like the poor
boy at the frolic, it has no friends.
In plowing the object is to "cut and
cover The whole object, too is to
secure the utmost dram on the soil
get everything off without returning
any of the fertilizers necessary to make
it productive. Now, if a man has a
farm and he can not work it himself,
he had better let it remain idle rather
than rent it. We can speak under
standingly on this matter. We have
tried lt.-Farm, Herd and Home.

A government making laws should see
that they are enforced or repeal them.
As long as the agencies Of the govern
ment remain as they now are misgov-
eminent must exist and nulllification
or worse must, fear, as n sequence fol-
low in the future. The trouble Is or
ganic. Two bodies cannot occupy the
same space at the same time. IftO-day
every act of Congress was repealed there
would be left i'm Utah an ecclesiastical
government intended TO meet all re-
quirements as to the temporal affairs of
man in his dealing with fellow man.
For over thirty years such government
has existed there and intended to be so
established that 1T may not legally be
questioned Time has strengthened
the usurpes and will continue to do
so. Half way measures will not an
swer and delay is dangerous. Innocent
blood of Mormon and Gentle will
eventually be shed in establishing good
government in Utah, the vast adjoining
territory of the West being occupied by
this power. Time will not and can
not prove the remedy"
"wHAT DO YOU SUGGEST"
"Either one of two things. First,
that all laws passed by Congress be re-
pealed. and II Il be the purpose to over
look crime against the flag and the
lesser crime against the law, polygamy,
that the fact should be officially deter
mined and announced, In order that the
people of this great region may know
what to expect and how to arrange their
family and business affairs"
"And the secOnd?n
IA homogeneous Legislature has been
appointed under the Edmunds act to
meet in January next. If that body
fails to repeal all laws respecting the es-
tablishment of religion and those
statutes nullified by Congress, and fails
to pass laws fOrbidding polygamy, -and
fails to recognize the authority of the
United States as the sovereign political
power, then Congress should repeal that
section of the organic act and assume
control in the government"
'"That's very well so far as itgoes, but
where lies the remedy?"
Itcannot be expected that Congress in
Washington can understand the details
of the territorial want so well as men in
the Territory, any more than pilot in
lighthouse at Sandy Hook could guide
vessel across the Atlantic. The pilot
should be on board. Congress should
establish another agency in Utah. In
lieu of the Legislature now provided for
by section of the organic act (Which
in reality is creature Of Mormon ap-
pointment) there might be legislative
council of three or five or more to be ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate, which shall secure, un-
der act of Congress, government not
only for the people, but by the people,
"Then, Governor, you desire the peo-
pie of the United States to learn from
your official lips that the chief danger to
the national government is that which
is to come from an organized sover-
eighty in Utah, whose every action is
hostile, and whose continuous attitude
defiant?'
ayes; sovereignty now strong and
growing every year."
"And that the one remedy?"
''Is to abolish the Legislature, repeal
the organic act, and appoint a territori-

Mistakes in school Rooms.

1t is a mistake to thrOng a primary
room with a multitude of children.
This mistake has hygienic as well as
educational aspects. A primary school
should never have more than forty pu-
pills.
1t is IA mistake to group elementary
pupils in large classes.
1t is IA mistake to think that pri-
mary teacher can give efficient instruc-
ton without appliances. Here the ma
ture of the work calls for many and
various objects suitable for cultivat-
ing the senses.
1t is IL mistake to confine young pu-
pills five or six hours in the school room.
1t is a mistake to treat children with
less consideration as to their health
than we do larger pupils and adults.

The Civil Service Commission.

The civil service bill is law, and
the next step is the appointment of the
commissioners. They should not be
politicians, or even eminent public men
who have been closely identified with
the old school of patronage. The
choice of such men would excite sus-
picion and create general doubt as
to whether the work was undertaken
in good faith; and even if they entered
upon it with honest purpose they
would be deficient in the essential
qualifications for its successful prose-
cutiOn. What is wanted is a commits
sion made up of men who thoroughly
believe in the reform, who understand
the practical operations and require
mehts of the public service, and who
are able TO impress themselves upon
the opinion of the people. The execu-
ton of the measure should be entrusted
to the care of its friends. No opponent
should be placed on the commission.
1t is not necessary that its members
should be conspicuous in the public
eye, but it is of the first Importance
that they should be masters of the
work to be done, and that they should
have the standing and character to
command entire public confidence
