ln this connection We publish the
following letter from the Piltsburg
Poa written by a wotkingman,
which fully expluinS to bis fellow,
workmen the reason why they
should not vote the Republican

"some time ago I read by chance

Congress, with the approval Of

attached, and which l had looked
upon as the laboring mans friend,
could be guilty of such hypocrisy.
"What does the laboring man

whether Blaine was married in

act Of James q. Blaine and the Re.

foundation Of this Government has
anything been done that has so
completely crushed and blasted the
hopes of the laboring man as this
most infamous and accursed act.
That one act is enough to damn
any party for all time to come.
II believe, after all, that the
Democratic party is the poor mans
friend. The very fact of their
passing the bill prohibiting the i'm
por!ation of contract labor (al
though defeated by a Republican
senate) convinces nae that the Ia.
boring man must look to that party
for protection"

What d tribute to Governor
Cleveland is the persistent attempt

production Of stories raked from

now forty.seyen years old, and was
firstknogn in public life fourteen
years ago. He was sheriff Of his
county, mayor of his city and gov.
ernor of his great state-executiye
a Commonwealth greater
than some Of the famous monar.
chies Of the Old World. Had
Blaine held these Offices, his ad
mihistfative history would have
been simply picturesque array Of
services done TO great corporations
and rewards received for those
services. One term in Albany
would have stepped him to the
eyelids in official corruption. But
against Cleveland republican op,
ponen!s cannot make out the bis.
tory Of one crooked dollar. They
cannot even hint at bribery
against him; and while they rloat
over whatthoy call d democratic
they go delicately about
II, because they know that Me
democratic" opponents are against
him only because ofhis downright
honesty in Office. In short the
scandal tacticsaro a glaring adnis.

last night at Grace NJ. L. church, taking
his text from the fourth chapter and part of
seventh verse of Proverbs Wisdom is the
principathing he said. The heather had en-
ploycd himself in securing wisdom. Relg-
ion was the principal thing about which
wisdom should be sought, and such wisdom
must bo in subiection to wisdom and look up
to it, and worldly pursuits must bo subordi-
nate to divine wisdom. He then defined the
limit OF divine wisdom, pointing out the sins
and pollutions which should be avoided, with
their usual associations.

BUTCHERY OF SHEEP.
The D. & r. G. Runs into a Flock
and Does Some Heavy
Slaughter.

AS the Utah Central and D. & r. G..
trains were running towards this city
yesterday morning, very nearly abreast,
the passengers on the first named saw
that a flock of sheep had congregated
on the D. & R. G. track, and that unless
the train slowed up" there would be
some frightful havoc among the animals.
The engine whistled several times but
made no signs of diminishing its speed.
Just before the train reached the herd,
the sheep had piled up in fright directly
on the track, and the spectacle, as the
engine ploughed through the pyramid,
was said to have been hOrrifying one.
Geo. G. Min was passenger on the
Utah Central, and he expressed himself
in the most unmeasured terms against
the needless butchery. Two gentlemen
who were also on the Central informed a
HERALD reporter that the D. & r. G..
could easily have stopped before reach
ing the sheep. One said that the animals
were thrown up over the smoke stack,
tossed aside like feathers, heads severed
bv the wheels and whole bodies cut In
two. The sight of the bloody remnants,
and the sound of the bleating is described
as having been fearful in the extreme,
and the u. G. passengers were loud In
their denunciation of the other train.
The profound ignorance that usually
reiens in such affairs at the railroad
Office existed at the D. 81 r. 6. when
a reporter called to make inquiries and
lust how many sheep were killed or
manned or to whom they belonged, it
was impossible to find out.
