A PninfiII Accident.

A painful accident happened to Mr.. Ella
Chilini, the Capitol hill grocer, at noon yester-
day in the neighborhood of the Columbia
engine house. He was driving horse at
tached to a grocery wagon when tho animal
became frightened and dashed off, throwing
Mr.. Chelini out, cutting his head badly and
otherwise injuring him. 1t is feared that
some of his ribs are broken. He was conveyed
to his home, corner of Second street and
Pennsylvania avenue east, and a physician
summoned.

Give Him the Cnts.

Several interesting experiments will be
tried by Mr.. Harry Goodyear with cats and
parachutes from the capitol dome, if per-
mission can be obtained from the authorities.
Mr.. Goodyear has taken much interest in
balloon matters, and proposes to make q
series of observations during the descent
from the dome of different sized parachutes
with cats attached to them. The animals
will be firmly fastened, feet downward, to
the parachutes and thrown outward from the
dome, so that they will clear the roof below.
He would much prefer to experiment from
the top of the Washington monument, but
as workmen are engaged there now it cannot
be done. This gentleman is also engaged in
constructing mechanical apparatus for
balloons by which they can be steered and
their speed slackened or increased. The APP
paratus resembles wind mill or largo pro-
peller. Mr.. Goodyear will be remembered as
the American who experimental some years
ago in Europe on flying machine.

THE following extract from the newly
published autobiography of the noted
English novelist. Anthony Trollope, is
a piece of candor seldom met with in a
public man. It only echoes the senti-
ments of many a man of this world.
He says:
eff the rustic of a woman's petticoat
has ever stirred my blood; if a cup OF
wine has been a joy to me; if | have
thought tobacco at midnight in pleasant
company to be one of the elements OF an
earthly paradise; if now and again |
| have somewhat recklessly futtered a e5
| note we a card table, of what matter is
that, to the reader? I have belonged to
| no woman; wine has brought me no
sorrew. Tt has been the com~panionship
of smoking that I have loved, rather
than the habit. I have never desired
to win money, and / have lost none. To
enjoy the excitement of pleasure, but to
be free from its vices and i'll effects-to
have the sweet and leave the bitter I'M
tasted-that has been my study. The
preachers tell us that this is impossible.
It seems to me that hitherto [ have sue
ceeded fairly we'll. [ will not say that |

The report of Governor Murray, of
Utah, to the secretary of the interior is
an able one, inasmuch as it handles the
Mormon question without gloves, and
shows up it's sins and enormities in no
enviable light. This is a question which
interests all the territories bordering on
Utah, as the members with their polyg-
amous doctrines are being scattered each
year farther from the heart of the dis
ease and may eventually, ifnot checked,
convert some Of the now Gentle terrific
ries into the same state of laWlessness in
which we find Utah to-day. AS a mean
of choking off 'sthe twin relic of bar
barism" we add Governor Murray rec
emmendation to congress, which we
believe will fix it: ut cannot reasona-
bly, be expected that congress at so
great a distance, and with the wa hts
of a great country to care for, can know
in detail the wants of a territory SO well
as men interested in its business, and
who live in the territory. A pilot in the
lighthouse off Sandy Hook cannot
guide a vessel across the Atlantic ocean.
The pilot must be on board ship; so I
take it congress must establish another
agency in Utah, n familiar with the
wants and requirements of the territory,
familiar with its localities, and bound
up in its welfare with their lives and
fortunes, and who bear honest allie
glance to the government Of the United
States. If it be true that the govern
ment for over thirty years has had an
unfaithful agent in Utah, is it not right
that it should dispense with such ser
vice and establish a faithful agent there?
Is it right that the government should
do less than an intelligent, careful bust
ness man would do under like circum-
stances? In order to keep this side of
what might properly be termed the he
role remedy, / present in hope and on
fdence my former recommendation.
Intelligent observation and experience
confirm me in the necessity and wisdom
Of that course. In lieu Of the legislature

OVER 700 families, a%ggregating some
$500 persons, have emigrated from Da-
kota to the country tributary to the
Canadian Pacific since May. So say
the railway authorities. The Dominion
papers are very jubilant over this bit Of
news and try to argue from this fact that
a large emigration will soon start from
the United States to that country. That
is a small beginning to start a boom
with even if true. twenty-five hundred
people would not be a marker for the
number of emigrants brought into this
northern country by the northern Pa
ciic this last summer.

THE irrepressible Ben. Butler is out
with two characteristic documents. In
his letter to the democratic state central
committee, he goes for the Judas Iscar-
lots of the party whose detection made
possible his defeat, and says further that
the late campaign has been the Bunker
Hill and not the Waterloo of their party.
Ben's Thanksgiving proclamation was
to minister, pulpit Or church. The
scripture quotations are numerous and
border very closely upon irreverence,
and for this reason we suppose it was
not read in many Of the thanksgiving
services of the commonwealth.

THE failure of the Rev. Pierce, of Salt
Lake City, with debts amounting to
$4,000, and assets practically nothing,
shows a curious phase of religious finan-
ciering. 1t seems that he had borrowed
money Unfortunately wherever he
could, without thought Of a future pay
day. The reverend gentleman, with a
salary of 81, 900 a year, was living at an
expense of $1,000, as a great many others
are doing.

The old saying that distance lends en-
chantment to the view is well illustrated
in the case of the following telegram,
hailing from st. Paul, and now gradual
ly working its way westward to its birth
place: Reports state that great ex-
element prevails throughout western
Montana over rich mineral discoveries
in the Occur d'Alene mountains. Old
miners and prospectors who have re-
turned state that there has been nothing
in the history Of the western states and
territories to equal in richness and vol
N the newly discovered fields. The
minerals consist Of silver tellurium and
free milling gold. One hundred dollars
per day per man are being taken out of
the rim rock of the gulches, while in
the gVlches $3.50 to $400 to the mar per
day are being PANIED out. Claims con-
sist of twenty acres each, and are located
in the gulches of Eagle, Pritchard. and
Beaver creeks, streams running into the
Cmur d'Alene river. The Pritchard is
the chief stream, which flows 1000 in
ches Of water, and it is said does not
freeze up, the altitude being only 2,40O
feet. Nuggets found have been sold for
5000, $136, 500 and $50 respectively. The
streams are in the northern part of Ida
ho, Eagle City being forty miles from
Heron, on the Northern Pacific rail
road. A wagon road is being cut up
Trout creek by which the distance will
be lessened twenty-six miles. There are
now about 500 people in the camp, but
tits estimated by old miners that before
June there will be 10000 people if the
season opens early"

THE new project of the Northern Pa
cific to dam the Missouri river for irri-

city. The tall cliffs in the canyon above
Tostin's ferry are to be thrown into the

powder. This will fill up the bed of the
stream and raise the water many feet SO
1t can be used on a million of acres of

"NINE THINGS NEEDED.o

The new sensation in journalism is
John Swinton's paper, published in
New York. It is anti-monopoly, anti
capital, in fact anti almost everything
as society and the body polite now ex-
lists. AS a sample of a few OF the many
changes asked for in our laws, we give
the mine things needed, - as the paper
puts it..
i. The revival by congress of the in
come tax, as a means of relief from or
binary and oppressive taxation.
2. The public ownership of railroads
and telegraphs, as in the free Belgian
system.
3. The enactment of such land laws as
will prevent the holding of great tracts
Of our country by corporations and in
dividuals, including foreign landlords.
4. The establishment of government
industrial schools and colleges, as in the
French system.
5. The establishment, by congress, OF
| efficient boards of health and education,
| and of public works, under a compre-
hensive system and policy.
e.. The establishment Of postal banks,
with branches of insurance, annuities
and savings, and all that the term i'm
plies in the British system.
Z. The establishment, by congress, OF
a national board of industry, empowered
to collect labor statistics of all kinds,
embracing the data of cooperation, the
| eight-hour question, the toll Of factory
women and children, and other things
underlying the welfare of the country's
workers.
(, s. The freedom of inventions, as in
Holland and Switzerland, but with
royalty system.
8. The public ownership of coal, iron
| gold, and other mines, and of salt de
posts and petroleum wells.
