seen upon the earth since the DAYS
OF Jesus; ard even then there might
not have been the same union that
exists to day in the quorum Of the
Twelve, citing ii as mere instance.
In the quorums organized in Kirt-
land, disunion existed. Ore of the
greatest blessings the Latter.
day Saints enjoy is the
power to love one another. and
to be united. 1t Is illustrated in the
erection Of this Temple. God has
greatly blessed this people in secur.
ing to them that union. You do
not find to~day the dissensions that
existed in the days OF Kirkland. I
feel thankful that we have arisen
to plane of union that was no
where exhibited in any day. 1t
would Ee my dt sire that I ask God
that He may confer on me spirit
of wisdom, rather than give to me
any great personal manifestation of
His power; that ! may never be
found in the path Of apOstacy; that
l may arise in heart and spirit and
prove equal to the requirements of
the Great Father. This is worthy
the prayers of every man and
woman. May God grant to this
people the blessings Of still
walking ia the paths ofrectitude and
holiness; that when another epoch
arises, and when there shall be
another choosing, we may be fully
and fifty prepared for the duties that
may come to US. May Cod bless all
the holy priesthood; in the name of
the Lord, Jesus, Amen.
The choir then sang an anthem.
President Taylor then arose and
said the time, now being well spent
he would not detain the people. AS
it was impossible that all who de-
sired to witness the dedication could
be- present to-day, it rad been de-
cided to repeat the services
on Sunday morning, and If il
be necessary. on Monday
The repetition would depend
on the capacity of the room to &C
commOdate those who wished to b.
admitted. He also stated that as i
would be a general desire among
|, those present to go through the
Temple all opportunity would b'
given, only the utmost quiet anC
order must be observed, for this wa
sacred place and confusion mus
be avoided.

A Great Express Suit,

The Wells Fargo Express company las noti-
fed the Northern Pacific that they shall require
cars and conveniences for doing an express
business throughout the entire line of the
Northern Pacific commencing March 1. The
latter has directed its officials to eject all ex-
press matter from its trains belonging to the
Wells-Fargo company. If the latter succeed
by legal process in forcing the Northern Paci-
fic to carry their matter, retalitory measures
will be instituted by the Northern Pacific Ex-
press company, by establishing express routes
on railroads now controlled exclusively by
Wells, Fargo 4 Co. There is great excitement
in railroad circles where the facts are known.
A hard fight is expected.
The railroad company. which had mutually
satisfactory contract with the Northern Pacific
Express company, will defend the latters in
terests as far as it is able. The officials say
the company will not refuse the Wells & Fargo
people what they ask, but will insist upon grant
ing the cars and conveniences necessary only
upon terms which are equitable and just 1t
is the intention of the railroad company to pros
ecute the matter to the utmost limit, and it is
generally expected that testimony will be adj
duced showing some inside history of express
concerns, and their manner of doing business,
that will be particularly interesting to those in
terested in such matters

The Washington monument at the
national capitol has now attained a
height of 410 feet, and there is on hand
sufficient amount of money, about
$3.50, 900, to complete the obelisk to its
apex, which, at the total height of 555
feet above the base line, will overtop all
other structures in the world. The ag-
gregate amount of the various Congress
ional appropriations for this work is
5000, 900 and about 5000, 900 has been
contributed by private citizens and 10
cal organizations throughout the coun-
try. A late number of Harper's Week
ly had page picture of over fifty of the
tallest structures in the world, showing
the relation of each to the others, and
the Washington monument reached far
above all the rest. Yet, seen anywhere
save at its base, it's height is hardly re-
allied, partly from the fact that it is on
the lowest ground in Washington.
Were it.on an elevation, like the capt.
toll, or even the White House the effect
would be different. But it is observed
by all observers, with wonder and de-
light, and probably will continue to ar
rest the attentions of many generations
cf patriotic Americans as we'll as peo-
pie of other lands.

There is a good deal of dissatisfaction
In Manitoba arising from various causes
and sensational newspapers are endeav-
oring to make few pennies by inculca-
ting the idea that revolution is at hand
that will disconnect that province from
the Dominions and annex it to the Uni
ted States. This is the boldest clap
doodle, as Greeley would say. that can
be imagined. The same sort of stuff
formed the staple OF unprincipled news
papers i'll regard to the Rel outbreak, a
few years ago. Sensible people should
not be deceived by such nonsense. The
integrity of the British Empire is not at
all endangered. 1t will be maintained
at any cost of treasure and blood and
against all odds. This is fact, lament
able, perhaps, but nevertheless a fact.

The Incorporate use of spiritual
liquors, in some of the larger towns, is
not SO common this winter as usual.
Nearly all the first class saloons are
provided with Liebi9's extract, and men
when asked to take drink" do not
hesitate to repudiate five cents and call
for glass of "beef tea" The hot water
craze has also been good thing. Moth.
ing Is more common than the call for
goblets of hot water. which is leisureiy
slipped, and q nickel handed over the
counter. Steady drinkers confess that
hot water is soothing to a stomach that
has been inhamed with liquor, and that
its effect in cleansing the kidneys is mar
velous. Be this as it may, thousands
hug the belief that beef tea and hot
water is better than whisky-and who
shall say that it is delusion.

When the Forty-sixth Congress
passed the act cutting the duty off qui-
nine the dealers threatened that the
price should not be reduced, and fol
years an effort was made to retain.
through business combination, the
charges which Legislation had interfered
with. The monopoly was successful
for time, but has now come to grief.
owing to the copious supply of the drug
which has become too large for control
The break in the confederation has been
followed BY drop in the wholesale
price of the drug about fifteen per cent.
and still further reductions are looked
for. As quinine in some parts Of the
country may be said to rank as one o
the necessities of life, and as it is every
where i'll use as one of the most valued
remedies, this failure to neutralize legis-
lation and keep up prices is source Of
wide rejoicing.

Attempted Double Murder in Dakota.

Parker, Oak, Special:-The town is excited
over at attempted murder at Finlay, five miles
southeast of that place. man named Matt
Miller has been living during the winter with
an old couple in Woodbury. county, Iowa, and
induced them to sell their farm in Iowa and
come with him to Dakota, representing that he
owned farm that they could work. They
bought two teams, took the rest of their money,
and all three started for the territory, arriving
at Finlay, he induced them to go to an old
house which has stood vacant for long time,
telling them they could stay in it all
night and in the morning 60 on
to his farm Miller alighted
from the wagon, and as the old gentleman got
out Miller dealt him heavy blow on the head
with a club. A squabble ensued, during which
Miller procured an ak and attacked the man,
knocking him senseless, and then attacked the
woman, knocking her down. He did not get
any money, but turned to run away just as the
old woman was reviving. She soon found her
husband, who was also recovering his senses,
and the two went to another house over mile
away, giving the alarm to the neighbors, who
came to the place, and notified the
sheriff, and he is now in pursuit 1t is supposed
that Miller intended to murder them both, take
their money, and leave the country, but was
i'll some way.

Mr.. Valentine, agent of the Wells,
Fargo Express company, estimates the
gold product of the last year at $2S, 1885,
$40, and the silver at $40, 900. 900. The
production of silver does not vary ma
terially from that of late years. Recent
important gold discoveries in the north
west, and more efficient mining in other
sections, are expected to make the gold
product almost if not quite equal to the
silver. Whatever may be said of silver
there is no danger of glut of gold.
