VALUE OF WHEAT STRAW.

In this great wheat growing country
the people Loose sight Of the value OF
the straw and this is one Of the diff
culties in the way of profitable wheat
growing. The straw is in most cases
dragged away from the machine i'll the
cheapest way, often covering acres OF
ground, and in that condition it will
sometimes remain for years. 1t Is
scattered on the ground too thin to rot
and yet it does not dry enough to burn
In that case not only the straw is lost,
but also the use Of the ground on which
it is left. 1t is difficult to say just what
the straw is worth, yet we some
times hear farmer say that the only
net gain in wheat crop is the straw.
1t is estimated that if it is we'll taken
care of that it is worth at least ten cents
per bushel OF the wheat threshed from
it. If that is true, then tho straw 10
worth per cent. on the value OF the
wheat: but in many cases it is worth
more than that, for when it is in reach
OF a town where the straw can be sold,
it will bring far more than that, but to
take the face Of the country, what ts
lost by burning straw, and the loss OF
ground upon which it is left, would
more than pay for the seed wheat for
the ground OH which it grew. Much
could be said OH this question, but let
hint be sufficient. If wheat is to be
raised the straw must be turned to
soma account or next to nothing Will
be made. If straw is we'll put up 1t
affords cheap shelter for stock, and at
the same time gives cheap food and
bedding, and if a little care is taken In
the selection of thin place to stack it
OH it enriches the ground on the farm
that is most In want of it, thereby re-
paving the farmer for the labor and
time bestowed. Great fortunes result
from small savings, and in turn want
often comes of small leaks.

The CALIFORNIA Democrats held
their State convention sat Stock
ton, last week. The telegraph
brought synop is Of the platform
that was adopted, but the following
resolution did not come, hence we
give it here:
Resolved, That we reaffirm our doc
time laid down in the San Jose o slform
Of 1882, that the Democratic party is Cd.
posed to all legislation of a sur ptuary
character and all laws intended TO re-.
strain free and full enjoyment Of every
citizen of his religious and political opin-
ions 30 long ss he leaves others to enjoy
their rights u2melested; that the presant
system of imposing an excessive license
tsx upon certain classes of business is
contrary TO the true spirit of Democracy.
This resolution is commended to
the consideration OF the gentlemen
who held what they were vain
enough to call q Democratic conven-
ton in this city the other day.
They are asked to compare the doc
trine hel e laid down with their own
declarations. True Democracy is
opposed to sail laws intended to
restrain free and full enjoyment
by every citizen of his religious and
political opinions 30 long as he
leaves others to enjoy theirs unmo-
lested." But this is not Democratic
doctrine according to the local
standard. It is suggested that the
gentlemen who held the convention
in Salt Lake last week, get them
selves together again, and resolve |
hat the gentlemen VINO adopted the
platform from which the above
plank is taken are not Democrats.
md that it is Impossible for them to
e Democrats so long as they enter~
ain such hereto views.

CAPTAIN ROOSEVELT.

| Information was received by tele

Consul at Bordeaux, France, Cap
George w. Roosevelt, had beer
shot at by "a French soldier who
mistook him for an officer against
whom he bore a grudge. Cap
tain Roosevelt was brave
soldier in the Pennsylvania
volunteers during the war, and was
promoted from the ranks until he
became captain on account of his
bravery in one of the battles on the
Rappahannock. He went into the
battle of Gettysburg at the hesd of
his company which was decimated
almost to a man, himself being
among the number left for
dead on the field on the
frst night of the battle.
Next day he was picked up and re-
moved to field hospital. and thence
to Baltimore, where, thanks to his
iron constitution, he pulled through
with the loss Of his left leg, the
wounds in his body, three or four
In number, having done no vital in.

THE EXPLANATION.

The Hon. S. R. Thurman, OF
Provo, in a communication which
appears elsewhere in this issue,
states one, and perhaps the chief,
cause for the delay in the enforce
ment OF the law and the execution
of the murderer Hopt. It is the
same thing that has been referred to
in THE HERALD on more than one
occasion, and when the United
States Supreme Court reversed the
Judgment of the local courts a Sec
ond time, this journal expressed the
hope that in The next trial the over.
weening desire to convict the GRIM
inal would not cause the court and
prosecutor to be reckless, to do any
thing that should not be done or
leave uldone things which should
be done. If proper methods had
been employ ed-ff the Courts had
not accepted as conclusive that the
man was guilty, but had established
TIE fact in the correct and Legal
WAYS provided, there would havel
been no reversal of the judgment by |
the Supreme Court, and no second
trial, and long ago the law would |
have been vindicated,s instead OF
standing to-day a menace to good
people in that it is made to protect
the laWless in crime. The courts
are to blame for these years of de-
layeG justice. and they are held
responsible by the people.
AS to the other matter referred to
by Mr.. Thurman, that Of attributing
the Edelay Of justice to anti-Mcr-
mon influence, there is certainIyI |:
nothing in it. If any proof were
necessary the facts cited by our cor
respondent would be sufficient. A
minister of the gospel, an unvise
man and 8 religious fanatic, foolishIy |,
made The remark reported by al!
