the coming season that has been grown

connection we also recommend that
"Longberry" wheat be grown instead OF
"FuItz" wheat, as there seems to be an in
creasing demand for Delaware and Mary

purposes and mixing it with western

Longberry wheat and yellow corn is that
there is usually brisk demand for them,

AN UNKIND PRESS.

There seems to be a determination
on the part OF some OF the eastern
editors to make Lieu tenant Greedy
and his little band of heroes appear
infamous in the eyes of the world
And yet there is perhaps not one of
these editors who would have done
differently from the survivors under
similar circumstances. Greedy de>
MES that he was guilty Of cannibal-
ism, and asserts that he had no
knowledge that others of his party
ate the flesh OF their dead comrades.
But suppose he had known all the
truth; suppose even that he had con-
sented to or ordered the cannibal-
ism, would there have been any
harm in it? If it had not been for
the flesh which the bodies of the
starved aud frozen victims provided,
the few who were rescued would
have gone with their dead COM
paDions, and ali the world would
have had to show for the three
years. expedition and twenty
five brave men, would be a
little pile OF bones. In condemning
the survivors, people should reaec,
that men do not become cannibals
from choice nor from vicious ID
stincts and inclinations; only the
pangs of starvation can overcome
the natural and cultivated prejudice
against devouring fellow creatures
with death staring them in the face
and only a few hours distant, and
hunger gnawing at their stomachs.
men may be able 20 smother the
repugnance which under less des-
perate circumstance would restra u

injurious, unjust assaults upon
Greedy and his fellow survivors.
and direct their efforts toward
stopping future expe iitlons to the
inhospitable Arctic, they will be
serving humanity in a much more
Christianlike way. Cannibalism
can be prevented, but it probably
will not be, while men more brave
and daring than wise are allowed tC
go in search of the pole.

"We recommend that moderation

served in all these ceremonies, rem

and remembering that our mission
is not to wreak vengeance en- the

White Bread.

II appears to be a fact that this
small quantity OF alum whitens tho
bread. In this, 80 in 30 many other
cases OF adulteration, there are two
guilty parties = the buyer who
demands impossible or unnatural ap-
pearances, and the manufactures or
vendor who supplies the foolish de-
mand. The judging of bread by its
wilderness is mistake which has leo
to much mischief, against which the
recent agitation for "Whole meal" Is,
l think, an extreme reaction.

THE THIRSTY WALL.


In sill kindness we suggest TO the
several correspondents who have
eeen writing regarding water for
the north bench, that in our opinion
it is vain for them TO look for relief
from what they are pleased to term
the "surplus" waters from City
Creek. No degree or amount of
censure heaped upon the City Coun-
Gil can induce that b-dy to divert
any portion of the stream to the
bench while there is 'demand on the
creek, from the older surveys and
such demand ia quite certain to con-
tinue until the city derives lis sup
ply of water for culinary purposes
from some larger and better source
than City Greek. We are also con-
fdent that were the Council
to undertake to divert a
part Of the stream as it is being
urged to do, an injunction would
be served to prevent it, for even the
Council ia powerless to do more
than control the water for the benefit
OF those who are entitled to its use
by priority of claim. 1t is possible
the time may come when the
benches can draw their water sup
ply from City Creek, but that time
has not yet arrived. PERHAPS when
q system Of storage reservoirs has
been provided, or consumers are in
ductd to economic by means of
meters, the north bench can be pro-
vided with City Creek water, though
the prospect is not at all tlattering.
Another suggestion The HERALD
has to make to its correspondents
is that this is in no sense religious
controversy, and religion ought not
to be brought into the discussion. 1t
is not a question of whether Mormon
CT Gentle should have water, nor
whether Mormon or Gentle should
supply the demand; nor is faithful
ness to church a matter to be taken
into consideration in dealing with
the perplexing problem. We have
noticed a disposition on the part Of
some to bring religion into the
question, insinuating that the mem
bers Of the Council should exert
themselves in behalf of their fellow
worshipers, and intimating that
the Councillors are not performing
their whole religious duty by failing
to provide their church brethren
with water. If men will reflect a
moment they must see the incon-
sistency of giving religious phrase
to a matter of this kind.
THE HERALD's sympathies are all
with the dry bench sufferers; it has
cheerfully published their appeals,
and done what it could to lay theil
cause before the public, and to help
them in their struggle for relief; IL
proposes to assist them in the future
not only by printing and circulating
their doleful walls, but by urging
that everything that can be lawfully
and legitimately done to help then
bedone;at the same time it must in
sist that the di. cHssion be carried OF
in temperate tone. and that reason
govern the controversy, and abov,
all, we shall expect that matters en-
tirely foreign to the subject viii
not be forced into it.
