The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1883-12-07

WHEN THE President of this great
Republic, leading men of the ma
ton, mighty newspapers and prom
inent divines, talk as they are talk
ing now, about Utah one can not
help blushing for the craftsmanship
and reasoning powers of the coua-
try's leaders. Mr.. Arthur says there
are 1900 men and women-at least
tWo-thirds of the number neces-
sarily being women-are guilty of
wrong-doing, and he virtually pro-
claims that the fifty millions of
people with all the money and legal
machinery required at their back,
are powerless to deal with the in
significant handful without resort
ing to s'heroic" and outrageous
measures. The spectacle is indeed
a pitiful one, and suggests that il
American craftsmanship is so puZ'
zled, bewildered and desperate ovel
a little affair of this kind, there
would be real danger to the country
were questions of vast proportions
to arise.

SENATE BILL 223S.

3 In that part OF his message relat
ing to Utah and the Mormon!
President Arthur recommended tn
passage of bill number 223S, Senat
} calendar. The text of the bill az
pears elsewhere in this edition o
The HERALD. The original bill wa
said at the time to have been drawn
by the the n District Attorney O.
Utah, Judge VanZile. 1t was pre-
sented, by request, by Senator Ed
munds, on December Is, 1882, reaC
twice and referred to the committee
on Judiciary, of which that gentle
man was chairman. 1t was amend
atory of the Edmunds law, and
contained three short sections,
numbered 10, IL and II, the first de-
claring that in prosecutions for
bigamy or polygamy, the lawful
wife shall be competent witness,
and may be compelled to testify
against her husband; the second
section provided for the issu-
ance of an attachment for
witness without previous service
of subpoena. and the third re-
pealed the statute of limitations in
prosecutions for offenses against the
Edmunds law. The committee
held it a month and reported a sub
stitute bill, which we publish in
another part of this paper. 1t will
he seen that the bill now Oh the |
Senate calendar, proposes to make I
the husband or wife a competent |
witness against the other in a prose
cution for bigamy, polygamy or I'M
lawful cohabitation; to allow the
issuance Of an attachment for the
attendance of witness
with previous service ola subpoena,
% extend the time in which prose =
buttons for polygamy may be COM
nenced from three to five years to
provide for the registration and
of marriages, those
olemnizing as well as the
principals to the marriage being
liable to prosecution for mis-
emeanor for failure to com.
ly with the law in reference to the
ecord; to repeal the woman SUI
rage law, and to abolish the pre-
snt legislative election districts,
ew districts and apportionment,
} be arranged by the Governor,
ecretary and United States judges. !
This is one of the most sweeping
leasures that has ever been pro-
osed for the coercion of Utah. 1t t
full Of evil possibilities, which !,
once become probabilities when
e reflect upon the character of the
ersons who would likely have the G
1forcement of the statute. When q
[r. Arthur rocommends the adops T
on of such an extraordinary mea- C
Ire for dealing with the problem" a
J this one, it is evident (
lat he contemplates vigorous t
,tion in the event of Congress
ntying his hands and giving him t
Ill swing according to his ambition a
Id inclination. However, we do y
ot apprehend the occurrence of 2
lything very serious or radical
the immediate future. 1t is true, b
r. Arthur has gone farther than q
~ of his predecessors in the mat Il
r of recommendations, but if We +
ill take the trouble to recall events q
the past dozen years, we will b
lderstand that the anti-Mormon y
orm that is raging throughout the
nd is little if any more violent
an were the storms that broke out
st previous to the assembling of "
ongress every winter within the u
collection of people of this genera :

A New Prime Meridian.

Most of the maps made in this coun-
try use both the Greenwich and Wash
ingtOn meridians, placing the Green
witch longitude at the top and the
Washington at the bottom. This can
be done well enough, for Washington is
almost exactly II degrees west of Green
wich, and the meridians, on maps where
great eXactness is not required, may be
made to correspond. For scientific
purposes, however, only one prime me-
ridian can be used. The British use
that of Greenwich, the French that of
Paris, while the Germans stick to the
old one which used to be the edge of
the world before columbus sailed the
ocean blue" and which is now the line
of division between the hemispheres-
the meridian 20 degrees west of Green
wich.
1t is highly desirable that all civilized
nations should agree on some common
line from which to reckon longitude,
and, eventually, time; and there can be
no question that before many years
pass an agreement will be reached.
The meridian used by the Germans is
for some reasons the best prime that
could be chosen. AS has been said, it
is accepted by geographers as the di-
viding line of the Eastern and Western
hemispheres. It passes through the
Madeira Islands, runs pretty close to
Cape Verde, on the African coast, and
cuts the South Atlantic into nearly
equal divisions. It cuts Iceland in two,
and touches the east coast of Greenland.
On the other side of the world, it passes
through Kamtschatka, and between
Australia and New Zealand. There
need be no national prejudice aroused
in adopting it. and it divides the hemi-
spheres better than any other meridian.
Butwhether this or another be adopted,
the main thing is to have single
standard from which all nations may
reckon longitude and perhaps time

Apples should be very carefully
picked and handled, whether intended
for home use or for market. When
packed in barrels, they should be
allowed to stand open for few days to
''sweat" and dry off, After heading up
the barrels should be set in a cool place
until ready to be sold or stored in the
cellar. 1t is an excellent plan to line
the barrels, before packing, with brown
paper, or newspapers; this will often
save them from freezing when on the
way to market

mackerel thirty per cent. more than
those at this period last year. Mr..
Blackford said: ''At the beginning of
the mackerel season the prospects were
exceedingly good, and it was expected
the fish would be extraordinarily album
dant and cheap; but all such expecta-
lions were speedily destroyed. From
all along the Massachusetts and Maine
coasts the mackerel disappeared to an
extent never known before. Vessels
came to port with light catches, if any,
and prices, of course, went up at once.

a barrel for salt mackerel that could

Within the last three days the mackerel
have reappeared all along the coast that
they deserted early in the season, and
ere both numerous and fine, but there
is no hope that they will be taken in
sufficient numbers to bring the catch up
to that of an average year.

their tracks were as thick around my
house as cat-tails on the snow!"
Had your pick, eh?''
'Pick! I could have married any
body, from my hired man up to q chap
who owned section of land and four
saw-milIs. They came singly and in
dro7es. They came by day and by
night"
''And you-you-?''
"Say, your she exclaimed, as she
drew herself up, edo 1 look like an
idiot?''
''No, ma am"
"Well. when 1 fling my three children
at the head of a second husband and
give up the $500 in cash in my pocket
you can call me an idiot. No, sir! I
repealed EN-
land they got?'
"They had to. Susan hand me that
second husband repeller. It's in the
back end of the wagon"
The girl hunted around and fshed up
a hickory club four feet long, and the
woman held it out for inspection and
said:
There's hairs of six different colors
sticking in the splinters, and these
blood-stains are the pure quill. You
can judge whether they sat there and
made love, or tore down the front fence
in their hurry to reach the woods.''
''By George!' whispered the smith,
after long inspection. ''Well, 1
guess you don t want to marry"
''K'rect, sir. If you have any old
widowers in this town, or if you know
any one between here and Indiana who
wants a headache that will last all win
ter without any letting up, just put 'em
up to begin to ask me if my heart don't
yearn for love and my soul rattle around
for some one to call me darlingn'-De-

The Diamond Trade.


What has become of all the diamonds
mined from the earliest times is a queS-
ton to which no determmate answer
can be given. Some have been buried
to escape the ruthless grasp Of invaders,
Others lie at the bottom of the ocean,
while considerable quota has been lots
by fire and other accidents. Allowing
for disappearances by these causes, dia-

value must be stored in private hands
India is suspected by many as being the
great absorber. The old mine stones of
extreme beauty and value, and which
never fall off in price-stones gathered
ages sirce-are still objects of search
IN European Turkey and throughout
Central Asia, and are among acquisi-

South African diamond fields, fortu-

Brazil supplies limited qualities of ex-
