Postal notes are becoming common,
and TO parties wishing postal money
order facilities for small sums will
prove of great convenience and de-
cided benefit. They are n modifica-
ton of the money order system and
are issued in sums Of less than five
dollars on payment OF only three cents
more than the amount of the note pur-
chased. They are issued at all money
order offices and made payable to
bearer, at the Office on which they are
drawn, if presented within three
months from date of issuance. II
presentation for payment is delayed
beyond three months a discount OF
three cents per month is made on
every month thereafter. This is done
to prevent them from going into gen.
eral circulation as currency. II q
postal note is lost there IL no redemp-
ton. They are printed on yellow pa
per and divided into sections. To the
left are two columns, one OF months
and the other OF years. To the right
are three columns, headed dollars,
dimes, cents. When the note IL is
sued the date OF issuance and amount
of the note are indicated by punching
out the month, year. and the figures
to the left representing the value Of
the note. This is a safe and sure way.
These notes will grow In popularity,
aud their cheapnsss will prevent .
great many people from sending green
backs through the mails,

How the Mormons increase their
power and numbers 10 thus explained
by Salt Lake gentleman: "The new
converts, taken from all parts of the
world. are, as rule, superstitious and
Ignorant. They are brought here un-
der false promises, and before discov-
ering the lies they have been told, are
made to marry several women. That
done, the church tells them they have
sinned against the laws Of the United
States, and that their only safety now
lies In keeping their faith wit the Nor
mon clans. They are too ignorant 10
doubt this; they are in coils; In debt,
and they have to stay"

A curious war against wire fences
has broken out in Texas. Miles and
miles of them have been broken down
and destroyed, leaving the stock to
run at will. The governor has been
asked by the leading stockmen to call
out the militia, but he has refused,
and they have determined to take the
matter into their own hands.

There has been a war for a few
weeks between France and Tonquin,
the latter being claimed as a province
of China. France has won the fight
ir Tonquin, but now China talks of
going to war with her. Commodore
Shubrick, so we'll known on the Pa
cific coast, says:
'In my opinion China has no good
cause of war with France. In 1874
France made treaty with the king
of Anam, sovereign power, and
without any protest from the govern
ment of China. Any violation of that
treaty is a question between Anam
and France alone, China, of course,
possessing the right of protecting her
own boundaries. The relations of
every first and IDENTICAL cal with with
modore intimates that our treaty with
Corea may expose us to just such in
reference on the part of China as she
is now manifesting toward France.
In point of fact the French have as
much right in Anam as the English
in India and Burmah, or the Dutch in
~ VI t-HiiAotio, Va thC DptulSH Ill
the Philippine Islands. The truth is
that there is an irreconciliable antag-
onism between the Chinese people Of
every grade, and the people of every
Caucasian nationality. Legislation,
indeed, on the part of the United
States, has been no more unfavorable
than of the English in Australia, the
Dutch in Java, or the Spanish in the
philippines. The prospect of war,
therefore, is simply a pretext for an
outbreak in all open ports where Chi
nese reside. Those only who have re-
sided in China, perhaps, will realize
the uncomfortable character of the
Chinese on such occasions. The au-
thorities are not only ignored, but, If
need be, are crushed. 1t is this dam
ger which foreigners have to appre-
bend at the present moment in China.

The Seattle Herald editorially says:
One of the subjects which ought to
engage the early attention of the in
coming legislature is the enactment
of registry law so framed that no cum
ming attorney can find place in it to
nullify its provisions. A great many
worthless characters now exercise
the elective franchise who have NO
right to do so and who are potential
in the election of men to Office who
have no right either to represent or
reflect public opinion. Registry laws
do not always serve the purpose for
which they are framed, but any fail
ure in this direction is the fault of a
cowardly and vitiated public senti-
ment and not of the great principal of
which the law is an outcome and ex-
ponent. 1t is bad enough that the
right to vote is held by men who sell
the high privilege to the scoundrels
who buy. 1t makes it worse to know
that interlopers, for lack of the neces-
sary legislation, are afforded opportu-
mites not only to offset legitimate
votes, but to receive money for so do
ing. The incoming legislature will do
well to heed the general demand for a
registry law. And while they are
making it let it be good strong one.

We think we are keeping pace
with the rest of the settleme hts
our county, according to the facili
ties we have, and the drainage we
have on us from time to time. Our
enterprising men have much i'm.
proved the appearance of our city
the past year in erecting fine build
ings. 1t is evident therefore that
they do not intend to be left out in
the cold.
Mr.. W, II. Hush s. Sons, mer-
chants, have built a very fine brick
store and warehouse, two story, 38 by
50 feet, which will cost $4,000 when
completed. It will be stocked with
the best of our home made and i'm
ported furniture, which they pro-
pose selling at very close margin.
We have one of the largest and
best theatre buildings, of brick, GO
ing up now in the Territory, except.
ing Salt Lake City. 1t is being
built by shares, and will cost about
$4,000 when completed. The walls
are up and rooted.
To-day the people held mass
meeting in the meeting house. in
relation to building a district school
house. At a previous meeting a
committee was appointed to draft
plan and make an estimate of cost
which was presented before the
people and accepted. The building
| is to be of brick and two stories,
ffty-tWo by fifty-tWo feet-four ap-
partments. Lower story fourteen
and upper story thirteen feet in the
clear, making the building thirty
| feet to the square, and the dome or
belfry thirty feet more; total height
in front about sixty feet. The esti-
mated cost is about 81, 000,for which
the people have assessed themselves
| Q per cent, and the calculation
is to erect and finish the building
this season.
