CACHE RAILROAD TROUBLES.

A Logan correspondent tells OF
the bitter feeling entertained in
Cache Valley against the Union
Pacific railroad. This intense hat
red has not come in a day, nor is it
the result of single act Of oprres-
sion on the part Of the railway. 1t
has taken years of meanness by the
company to excite the enmity of
tbe Cache community as it is now
excited, and as our correspondent
suggests it is doubtful if the bitter
feeling can readily be overcome.
The railway company has itself to
blame for this unhappy con-
d;tion of affairs, and it
can censure nobody if its
conduct will result in an opposition
line through the valley. Its. treat
ment of Cache has been outrageous
in the extreme; and it has carried
;ts "cussedness" so far that its
friends in the county seem to be con-
fined to its employees, and even
these condemn the conduct OF the
CON, many VT ere hey can do SO with

THE Rock RAILROAD project has
fairly reused the natives. 1t begins
to look as if the wisest course the
incorporates could pursue would
be to withdraw their applica-
ton for right OF way
along North Temple Street and
through the Eighteenth, Twentieth
and Twenty first wards, and seek
another route to the quarries of
Red Butte. In view of the very
pronounced and earnest opposition
that has sprung up. the propriety of
constructing the road on the line
indicated in the petition to the
Council. even should the latter
grant the request, may well be
questioned.

DELAYED NOMINATIONS.

President Arthur is taking hi
own time, and other peoples also
in nominating to the federal Office
in Utah. One of these-the Distric
Attorneyship-has been vacant fOl
months, and is among the most i'm
portant positions in the Territory
Besides it's prominence. it is also
regarded as among the fat places al
the disposal of the President. The
fact that Mr.. Arthur has not de-
signated the man for the office would
indicate that he does not take kindly
| to any of the many applicants,known
and unknown, for the position. If
this be the case, Utah must
acknowledge itself under some OBJ
legations to the President, for so far
as the names of those anx.
iOus to get the Office are
known, none of the gentlemen
would prove satisfactory. A new
man is preferable to any of them.
The President would find it difficult
to select a person more Objectionable
than some who are aspirants for the
place, and it is not likely that he
will appoint a more offensive man
than the most agreeable of the APP
plicants.
AS is also well understood
the Office of Chief JUS
tice has been occupied for months
by hold-oyer. This condition of
things is unusual, the rule being to
nominate successors before rather
than after the expiration Of the in
cumbent's term. 1t has long been
an open secret that Judge Hunter is
DESTROYS of being his own successor
and we believe his denomination
would meet the approval of the bar,
and public. His career on the
bench has been creditable and COM
plimentary to him, rather than
otherwise. II he erred in judgment
at times and misinterpreted the
law early in his term, the mis-
takes were from inexperience and
not exhibitions of righteousness.
His long service on the berch. and
his familiarity with our laws and the
community have qualified him for
the duties Of the important position.
Whoever succeeds him VIII have to
learn as he has learned, and may re-
gard himself as fortunate if he com.
mits 80 few blunders as the pre-
sent chief justice has scored.
However, satisfactory as it would
be were Judge Hunter continued in
Office, the long delay in nominating
to the place cannot be regarded as
other than ominous of his retire-
ment. 1t would seem that if the
President had intended to retain the
Judge the re- appointment
would have been made long,
ago. It is apprehende1 that
the opposition 20 Judge Hunter
has had its effects upon Mr..
Arthur. This view Of the matter
seems the more probable since it has
appeared that Governor Murray has
the President, it being
that the Governor is Hun
ter's bitterest aud most active and
personal opponent. Arthur has
yielded to Murray most obediently
in other things, and why not also in
thisImatter of the ChiefJ usticeship?|
We hope for better things but the
prospect is not promising.
This wish, however, all will coin
eide with, namely: That the two po-
sitions be promptly filled, whether
by local men or others. The sus-
pense is unpleasant, not alone to as
pirants, but to everybody interested
in the courts of Utah.

self assiduOusly to religious study,
He was stupid lad in the matter of
the arts and sciences, and in fact
cared for little in the books that
did not relate to religion. From
the earliest period ID his life of
which there is any authentic in
formation, he seem- to have had in
his mind the assumption of pro-
phetic powers, and the proclamation
of himself as thej Mahdi who had
been foretold by Mah0met. In his
early manhood he succeeded III be-
ing ordained Shiek, whereupon he
retired to cave On the White Nile
and began Systematically the work
Of inspiring among the simple, sup
erstitious people OF the region a
feeling of reyerance and veneration
for him. He would fast for days at
a time, was most prayerful and
pious, burned much incense, and
manifested deep interest in the poor
and afflicted. It is something
oe a mystery where ne
obtained his wealth, but it
suddenly 6awned upon the people
that the fellow was one Of the
richest sheiks in the land. He had
numerous followers, and his fame
had spread throughout the region |
to such an extent that four years
ago he was regarded as possible |
disturbing element. The authorities |
began to take notice of him, when |
in 1881 he announced himself as the |
Mehdi and declared that his mission |
on earth was to reform Islam. He |
preached the doctrine of the COM
munist in its stricteSt sense
equality of all, universal law and
religion, community of goods, and
the destruction of all who did not |
believe in him and his mission. His |
march to fame and power since then |
has been wonderful, and well cal
culated to impress the simple Arabs
with the belief that ne was inspired.
Success has attended al his ven
lures, and his promises have been
fulfilled with such eXactness as to
turn even skeptics towards him.
Ell Nehdi must now be regarded as
at the zenith of his fame. His
slaughter of the army of Hicks
Pasha has made it absolutely neces.
ssry that he be punished and
brought under subsection. If Egypt
cannot do this, other powers will be
obliged to aid the Khedive. But
whatever be the fate Of the 'false

The Barber's Pole.

The BARRIERS pole grew into its
present style from the fact that the
practice Of trimming boards and heads
of hair was combined with the prac.
tice of some Of the arts Of the surgeon.
The original pole was the staff held
by the patient during the operation
of being blei. The bandage with
which the arm was tied in drawing
blood, was, after the operation was
over, tied to the staff and wound
around il. After some time the bar
ber set his pole outside of his shop as
a sign; it was painted red and striped
around with white paint to indicate
that he followed the business of bar.
Der. From this came the colOrs of
the BARRIERS pole. II is curious fact
that In 1897 Lord Thurlow said in his
speech for pOstpOning the further
reading Of the Surgeons Incorpora-
tiOn Bill, that "by a statue still in
force the BARRIERS and surgeons were
each to use a pole" Thus were bar

Constitutional revision. The only
only objection yet urged is the great
expense Of having a convention. The
objectors are short sighted. A new
Constitution would correct abuses
