a Los ANGELES telegram to the
San Francisco papers announces as
fact that the former city is to have
connection with the Denver s. Rio
Grande railway within two years i.
Nothing is given in the dispatch,
however, upon which the announce
ment is based. As a general pro-
position it may be assumed that the
ID. &. r. G. will soon seek the Pa
ciic. Its arrangement with the
Central Pacific may now be entirely
satisfactory, but railway agreements,
like the white man in the estimation
of the Indian, are mighty uncertain.
4 road stopping here in Utah while
there are three or four through
lines, can hardly be regarded as oc>
cupying solid position. We hope
the Los Angeles reporter knows
whereof he writes, and that the
Little Giant will soon move along
towards the setting sun.

THE ILLINOIS appellate court has
just rendered a decision which ought
to be generally understood. A
couple of years ago Blooming on
merchant INSTRUCTED the sidewalk
with some oil barrels, in consequence
of which man was hurt and sued
the city for 5000. He was success
full 10 the extent Of recovering $3.50
and costs. The corporation then
sued the merchant for the amount
it had been obliged to pay out for
damages resulting from his act.
The case was twice tried in the
circuit court, and once in the
appellate, which latter has now
decided that the city must
recover from the merchant all it
paid Eout with interest on the
same. This seems to be good law
and the right method of getting at
the business. Incorporation was
responsible to the individual for not
enforcing its ordinances for his pro-
lection, and the violation of the law
is responsible to the city for the
damages resulting from his law
breaking.

| TIE BLUE book of the United
States for this year is nearly com
pleted, and will soon be ready fol
distribution. This biennial register
contains the names of all persons
who receive money from Con
gressional appropriations. The
first volume contains the names
and amounts received by each, of
all the employees in the various de-
partments of government. There
are $4,000 of these names. The
second volume is devoted exclus-
lively to employees Of the postal
service, and contains $1,000 names.
1t will thus be seen that the
army of ofice-holders over
which Arthur is the general
and cOmmander-in- chief numbers
10000. With remarkably few eX-
captions these are all expected to
vote the administration ticket, no
matter what their personal prefer
ences may be, and they are also
counted upon to contribute to the
political fund of the Republican
party. Failure to do both is equi-
valent to a discharge from the gov
eminent service. Besides these

The LADIES of Washington Ter
ritory, upon whom the legislature
has conferred the suffrage with all
that it confers, are not content with
their improved lot. Mrs. Duniway,
the editor, lecturer, agitator and
''righter," was the leader of the
suffrage movement and did more
than any other person toward pull
ing the measure through the legis>
lature, and now it is proposed that
she be rewarded with the governor
ship of the Territory. Petitions
to this end are being num-
erously signed, and will be
forwarded to President Arthur. The
President is understood to be a good
deal of a ladies' aan, but it is also
quite as well under stood that his
admiration of the sex Edoes not ex-
tend to those women who are am
bilious to usurp the places heretos
fore filed by men exclusively. In
other words, Arthur is a great ad-
mirer of women out of politics, but
not in. AS consequence. Mrs.
Duniway's petitions1 will doubtless
find their way to the executive
waste basket, and the ambitious
lady will have to content herself
with such minor Official distinction
as her voting sisters may choose to
confer upon her. Our personal
knowledge of her suggests that she
would make most excellent pound
It never struck US that
her ambition would soar higher than
the "bossing" of one man, and as
she mas been doing that pretty
effectively during a long and ap-
parently happy married life, It'll
seems that her aspirations should
now halt.

DEATH OF GENERAL KANE.

Hon. George @. Cannon has re-
ceived Geographic advices announc-
ing the death on Wednesday morn
ing. at his home in Philadelphia, of
General Thomas L. Kane. We need
hardly say that in this death the
Mormon people have lost one of the
bravest and best friends they ever
hal outside the church; for it is q
Well-understood fact that from their
early history General Kane publicly
and privately defended them against
the assaults and schemes of their
detractors and prosecutors. From
the time the Mormons were driven
from Illinois until after the John.
stol campaign to Utah, the history
OF General Kane WAS closely con-
nected with that of the church. In
his early manhood he espoused their
caus out of pure sympathy for an
oppressed and ilI-used people, and
all through a someN hav prominent |
life he had the moral courage to |
stand up in their defense. It |
was largely due to mis- manly and |
Intelligent efforts that the 'Buchan-
non War" was bloodless and turned |
into a blessing instead of curse;
his flying trip across the isthmus
and overland to Utah, is a part of
the history of the country, and the
success of his mission Will ever re-
fleet credit upon his wisdom, good
Judgment and craftsmanship Gen.
eral Kane belonged to one of the
Oldest and most highly respected
families of America, the descent be-
ing through Chancellor Kent, the
brilliant jurist, and one of the good
old Knickerbocker families He was
a brother of the famous DR.. Kane,
Arctic explorer, ana many other
relatives, like himself, have distin.
guished themselves in the fields of
science, adventure and war.
The General was a scholar of
ARE attachments. His famous
ecture descriptive of the sacked
md ruined Nauvoo, after the driv-
ng out of the Saints, is among the
elO0uent and beautiful thinps in
he English language.
The news of General Kane's
lesth will occasion heartfelt sorrow
throughout Utah, where the mourn
ng will be as intense and honest as
t is in the neighborhoed of his own
home, where he was loved for his
lobleness of heart and uprightness 8
If character, his charity and
lis benevolence.

CONGRESSMAN HEWITT, of New
York, is one of the largest iron mill
owners In the country, but he
doesn't want any tariff protec-
lection" Recently he missed a
large order because English manu-
facturers could undersell him one
fourth Of cent per pound. Instead
of squealing about it and coming
out for higher tariff, he said, when
asked If he did not want protection !;
"Noi let the duty be taken off Of
scrap iron, the raw material, and
then I can compete with the world"
II Mr.. Hewitt can do this, so also
can the other ironmastars, who are
ontinually clamoring for higher
Vs.. !.

THE NEW YORK Central railroad
has adopted the lowest passenger
fares in the world, the reduced rates
being on the line between New
York and Poughkeepsie. It sells
624 trips, one each way for every
week day in the year, for $40. The
distance is seventy-three miles, and
the rate, therefore, is little over
three mills mile. Similar tickets
to Yonkers, fifteen miles, are sold
at the rate Of xix pills peG mile.

Railroad Rattle.

Again our pcople are talking railroad,
and this time more earnestly than ever.
The last excitement was caused by the APP
pearance here "Wednesday afternoon of II.
l.. Marvin, the chief engineer Of the Kan
sls City, Lawrence and Southern Kansas
road. He did not make any great buster
about what his people were intending to
do, but announced that lie was here for the
purpose Of looking over the country be-
tween here and Harper and then west of
this place. He gave ont the information
that the road would possibly be extended
west from Harper at IN early d,y, and that
IL any extention was made it would be to
Medicine Lodge. Rumor has il that he
even said the road would be here within
thirty days from the time he returned to
Harper. He may not have said this, but
We have no doubt Mr.. Marvin knows what
the railrOrd people will 10.
AS we figure il out, the Lawrence and
Southern people see that the Fort Scott
and Wichita road is heading in this direc-
ton, and that IL they, the l. & S. people
would secure and retain the cattle trade OF
this section and the Territory south OF here
they must extend their road from Harper.
and this without delay. In doing this they
will not only cat out the Fort Scott road,
but they will also secure considera bic tr.lde
that now goes to the SAINT, Fe at Caldwell
and Dodge City, and stop shipments that
are inclined to go to the San Francisco
road ut Red Fork.
The terminus may not be permanently
established here, it way be southwest Of
here; but this place will be the live stock
centre, business terminus. The extention
Will be nothing more than "plug' road,

Before another month has passed we
will all know what to expect. The LAW
