The apparently interminable Nor
mon trouble has just developed new
case of interest. 1t will be remember
ed that in July last ten Mormons
brought suit against the Utah COM
missioners for 81 900 damages each for
refusing their votes at the election of
August, 1882. When the case came
up in the court the commissioners de-
INJURED ON the ground that they were
quasi-judicial officers, and not person
ally liable for whatever errors of judg-
ment may have been committed in the
exercise of their official functions.
Judge Hunter of the United States
court, sustains the demurrer in five
cases. The others have not yet been
tried, but the result will be the same
in these as in other cases. This de-.
cision of course, has aroused the ire of
the polygamists.

In reply to question from Z. J.
Royen, county auditor Of Marshal
county, Attorney General Hahn has
'endered an opinion which is very
important, inasmuch as it settles th'
question of salary, which has agitated
The minds of large number of county
officers. The attorney general holds
that reelected officers can not draw
double pay for the two months jan
uary and February as many had ex-
pected to. He argues that as the
official term expires on the first Mon
lay in January 1884, the salary of.the
newly elected officer will commence
1t that time. The salary must end
with the close of the official term and
the effect of the amendment is to short
n the term two months and to lessen
The salary to that amount.

There is much in the present aspect
of politics that is suggestive of the
question, are we to have reorganiza-
zion of parties? For several years
there have been occasional spasmodic
attempts to start a third party move
ruent, ending in ludicrous failures.
There is no more promise of success in
this direction than ever, save in as far
as Gen. Butler may be able to attract
TO his standard few demagogues
and malcontents. But there is one in
fuence at work within the two old
PARTIES which might, under certain
circumstances work the long-expected
result of disintegration and rearrage-
ment without a change of names.
Proof of the possibility of such hap
.pening lies in the election of Mr.. Car
Isle as speaker. If he shall continue
firm and determined in advocacy Of
gradual but steady tariff reductions,
and if he can hold the support of a
majority of his party, then there may
be some interesting developments in
the course of next few years. In other
words, the elevation of tariff reform to
the rank Of a distinct and leading po-
litical issue would almost Immediately
be followed by a REIMBURSEMENT of ex-
isting political relations. Both of the
great parties are hopelessly divided on
this point. No force is potent enough
to drive the Democrats represented by
those who supported Mr.. Randall into
the camp of those whose ultimate,
though remote, object is the establish
ment of free trade. Even now they do
not acquiesce in the settlement of the
speakership question. Sullen silence
is the most that party discipline can
impose upon them. If they should be
that progressive tariff re-
form is the established policy of the
future, nothing could prevent them
from breaking away. On the other

The Fisher Bulletin is offering it's
leaders some good advice regarding
| heir present dilemma with the Mil
| !er's Association. It urges farmers to
give up the raising of wheat and turn
heir attention TO stock raising. 1t
says: "That this will have to be the
ultimate hope of the farmer we do not
ioubt, for although the Red River
Valley will ever be able to compete
with any and every producer in the
foreign market, yet there cannot but
he some misgiving that the great In
liam empire will be a serious COM
oetitor. 1t would not surprise us if
eighty cents per bushel became
he price of No. l hard, even under
the best circumstances, and farmers
must look at the question whether
raising wheat at that price is as good
rs raising stock. We think not, for
our splendid lands offer inducements
to stock raisers not to be bettered in
the wide, wide world. Wheat at the
present moment is worth really about
eighty cents per hushel, and which
price, we have no doubt could be OBJ
tanned but for "the rascals". Yet this
year cannot be called, Iby any means,
me which brought forth great yields
to the farmers, and had the other states
Of America had an average yield, or
large one like last year, wheat would
have been drug'in the market. Let
us look this matter boldly in the face
like brave men. Suppose next year,
as there is every probability from the
present outlook, similarly large har-
vest to last years is garnered in the
United States, would wheat be worth
eighty cents? Certainly not, if Hun
gary, Russia, and other wheat gro w
ing countries were likewise favored.
1t is we'll known rule of trade that
supply and demand fix the price
ofa commodity, and Europe surely
will not buy American wheat if she
can get any other at a cheaper rate,
even though ours is better. Well,
then what are we to do? We earnest
~ reply: Farmers, raise stock. This
,fcourse, cannot be done by all at
'nce, but it can be done gradually and
efiectually. We ask, what would
have become of Illinois this year had
they depended solely on their corn
crop? Gentlemen, you have no right
to tempt providence by putting all
your eggs in one basket. By raising
stock, then, viii be found another
good and successful Way of Escape"

CH|ATTANooGA Times, Wednesday: "The
Kansas City and Memphis railroad was
formally opened for business yesterday.
w. T. Rogers, passenger agent OF the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, sold
the first ticket over the roa from this
city"
The Mexican Central railroad has or
dered a considerable quantity of American
steel rails, in order thai track-laying on
the northern section may be pushed with
out delay. This is said TO be the first
transaction of the kind on record. The
mpan is also said to have ordered its
bridges from England, but owing to "intol-
cradle delay''-whatevcr that may mean
the orders have been cancelled.
THE absence of continuous brakes from
atrain caused a fatal collision few months
ago on a Scotch railway. The Jealous law
officials Of the district seem to have
thought that the engineer had the brakes
in his pocket but forgot to put them on
and they had him arrested and tried fol
manslaughter. The jury, however, did
not regard it as Il part OF an engineer
duty to fit out his train with air-brakes
and they acquitted him.

applied a few days ago nj the offices OF thu
Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antoni,
railway in Houston, Tex, for a pass, claim

pass was refused on account of lack of ere
dentials, and investigation showed tina
the fellow was Il thorough fraud, the New
York paper repudiating him. Railwa.
officials never ought to be taken in by DO

tives OF the press can easily prove thei
identity.
A Prominent master mechanic assert
that a locomotive drawing a train of 81
coaches and burning soft coal throws on
from 40 to 80 bushels Of sparks in
run OF a 100 miles. This indicates the al
noyance and danger arising from the nor
use of spark-arresters and every travelc
is reminded that there is still room for i'll
ventive genius in the direction of dimiT
ishing this evil. 1t is claimed by son
that the use of the extended smoke-bo'
furnishing a place of deposit for the spark
insures economy in fuel, cones, netting
smoke-stack, etc, while giving more fire
and regular steam:ng qualities, p%reventin
fires and avoiding dirt and danger to tn

as much as 20 per cent. in fuel has bee
claimed for the extended smoke-boX con
