New York Sun: Our esteemed contem

cheering information comes from tht
West that the coinage OF silver dollars
must cease unless the country desires 9

find that such an intelligent journal as
the Globe can be cheered by the pros
pecs OF a monetary crisis. But has our
contemporary forgotten the letter
which President Cleveland wrote to Mr..
Warner some seven months ago, in
which he said that a monetary crisis
pregnant with the most terrible conse.
quences was close at hand unless the
silver coinage was stopped. and that the
working people especially would expert

coinage was not stopped, and the ire.

assurance that the silver 10 not to be

SATURDAY W.. SEPTEMBER 10. 1885.
A POINT IN TELEGRApH LAW.

A question of practical interest to
brokers and their customers is decided
in an opinion just reported of the Ken.
lucky Court Of Appeals. A broker in
New York telegraphed a client in Ken.
lucky that he had bought certain stocks
on his account. The next day the stock
began to decline. For several days it
went down rapidly and then advanced.
Not hearing from his client, the broker
sold the stock at a great sacrifice. 1t
subsequently appeared that the telegram
had been transmitted to the Kentucky
Office, but had not been delivered. The
customer sued the company for the loss
he had sustained. He alleged that if the
message had been delivered to him he
would have RENTED a margin sufficient
to prevent the stock from being sacri.
feed, or he would have ordered it's sale
at the beginning of the decline.
The Court holds that he cannot re-
cover, for the reason that the loss was
too remote and too uncertain a conse-
quence of the compauy's negligence. 1t
says: elf the complainant had re-
ceived the dispatch he might or might
not have acted on il. 1t does not nat.
nrally follow that be would have been

the ordinary result of the failure te

Pioneers Day, and when General How
ard poses as political prophet. it is inn
possible not TO recall his political vagaries
when at the head of the Freedman's Bur
eau. The reputation he made there was
not the most enviable in the world,
and he may be desirous OF blotting
out the memory of that affair
by attaching himself to 4 cause
that he knows to be popular.
When military man turns demagogue,
he is the worst demagogue in the world.
Especially is this the case when there IS
attached to such character prayeriul
disposition and an irresistible tendency to
call upon the Lord to guide man in his
military movements, rather than relying
upon the maXims of the art OF war and
the rules OF Jomini When Cromwell
told his soldiers to trust in God and keep
their powder dry, he encouraged the
religious ardor of his Roundheads and
made sure of Gods aid by laying stress
upon keeping their powder dry. Napo-
leon recognized the truth Of Crom-
Wells advice, but changed its form
by saying that God was on the
side of the heaviest artillery.
In the Nez Perce war it is said that Gen
eral Howard trusted in God but utneglected
the powder provision.
One good may come OF the ''whim' OF
the CITY Marshal, and that is to teach the
people of Utah thGt the feelings OF the
country towards tb-m and their unlawful
practices are such as NOT 10 be trifled with,
and that they can very easily provoke
such an outburst of wrath that reason will
be lost and only passion rule. The press
comments upon the "whim" of the Mar
shal that have been published in the
local papers should be enough to teach
them this truth. General Howard s
representations are sensational and with
out foundation, but they plainly show
how easily the people OF Utah might
bring calamity upon themselves. We
trust they will be more wise in the future
than in the past.

MAKING REPUTATION.

Yesterday We had occasion to refer to
General Howard's remarks upon the
probability OF an outbreak here on the
Twenty-fourth No such probability
exists, and General Howard's political
probabilities are about as worthless as
General Hazen's weather probabilities
From few days sojourn in Salt Lake
City the General assumes to speak with
oracular wisdom concerning Utah affairs
1t is impossible to avoid the suspicion
that General O. O. Howard is seek
ing to make some reputation
out of the flag affair He
has written the President regarding the
probabilities of an outbreak, and seems
to have put the case so strongly that the
President has telegraphed him directing
him to keep all posts ready to move at Il
moments warning. General Hatch, with
the Fifth Cavalry, will be ordered to re-
main at 0gallalla, ready to proceed by
fast train to this city in case OF an emer-
gency. We wish the Government would
send the Fifth Cavalry and two or three
more regiments of cavalry and infantry
TO Salt Lake by fast train and quarter
them here permanently, as it would be a
big thing for the town and would greatly
aid in reviving business. By the way, what
has become of the scheme for establishing
a military school, like the one at Leaven-
worth, at Fort Douglas? Now would be
a most excellent time TO found such an
institution We do not believe that any
of the Federal officials here, whether they
be civil or military, think there is the re-
motest probability of any trouble here on

Mr.. Randalrs Views Of The President.

Something has happened which every
| body anticipated. There has been fee
bic wall from the disappointed.
Yet we have a vast amount of eompli-
mentary comment on the Presidents ac-
tions, such as no President has received
since Jackson. Lincoln was supported
rather than complimented; he really re-
ceived an unconscionable quantity OF
censure at all times, both from ADVERSE
ries and from political affiliates. The
peculiarly in the case of President Cleve-
land is in the Il praised by all Think
ing men Of hQtA pAfties, and is censared
by Senator of his own party who had
no sufficient title to cepsure him.
1t is evident that the opposition on the
part of the Republicans i'm 1888 to Presi-
dent Cleyeland's reelection will be only
half-hearted. They are astonished to
find the principles of civil service, which
they professed, but omitted to practice,
put in practice by one of their opponents.
They are not likely to get over their as
t0nishment in time to make their next
political campaign. The habits Of a half
century have indoctrinated the minds Of
the na:ion with certain expectations, ac-
cordant neither with the national we'll
being nor with the welfare OF parties
themselves. 1t will be a long time be-
fore people get used to the novel sensa-
ton of good appointments. based on
merit, and cease to experience surprise ut
every onward movement of the admins
trxiion. The consequence is enevitable
the majority for such a policy in 1855
will be overwhelming. If the Democrats
were blind enough to run spoils man,
the Republicans would run the honest
administrator and win, and justly.
The peonle now hare two minds re-
garding President Clevcland's qnalifia-
tions; even those who are chagrined at
their failure to procure appointments on
personal grounds do not doubt his quail
ications. The recognition of the sturdy

portment: and when his time in the Sen

LABOR.

In addition to the general good
condition of crops in this State,
the increased acreage, improve
ment in standing and freedom from,
overflow, attention should beeall-
ed, as an important factor in the
States prosperity, to tue excellent
manner in which labor is every
where behaving, and the zeal, car
nestness and industry being shown
by all the agricultural laborers in
Louisiana, both white and black.
The reports from all portions of
the State agree on this point, that
there are fewer idle hands than
hitherto, and more work being
done by those employed.
1t is but evidence of what the
Southern press has always claimed,
that under Democratic rule the
negroes, freed from the disturbing
elements engendered by the Re
publicans, would do better, raise
larger crops and become more
prosperous. The tendency has
been in this direction ever since
the Republican party was over
whelmcd in the South. When
Cleveland carried it there were not
a few Radical papers to predict
that this would cause great ex-
citement and uneasiness among the
negroes, and that many would
leave the South to settle in other
States. On the contrary, the col
ored labOrcr Is working moro ear
nestly and doing better now than
ever bef0re.-T-Ds

LOUISIANA VS.. TEXAS.

i HISC 1isiuc Tit tSStitiOu tIisft
Louisiana is a better poor man S
country than Texas. ] have lived
in Texas 80 years, and this State
sour years, and stick to the asser-
ton. While land is cheap here it
is high in Texas. Texas land is
worth from 3 to $40 per acre, and
one-third must be paid in advance
almost invariably with prompt
payments on the residue. Build
ing lumber is high-from 81 to s.
per 100. Rails in the tree, from
25 to 40 cents per hundred, and IS
cents to 81 for splitting. A great
deal of the musquite land is hard
to clear. Water is not reliable
only in the hilly portions of the
State. There are some good springs
and wells on the prairics and gar
dens fine in the spring, but as un-
certain as the wind in summer.
Here in Louisiana you can get land
on your own terms, with houses
already built and rail and board
timber on the ground-lltiie labor
no money out-moye in and go
to blowing. Also, in addition to
this you have an old time orchard
with figs,apples, peaches, etc.
As to crops, let US compare pro-
ducts and prices. The profits on
corn and oat crops of North Loui-
siana and Texas is three to one in
favor of Louisiana. The yield of
the cotton crops are about the
same per acre, but cotton can be
gathered much cheaper than in
Texas. Potatoes grow so we'll
till like Gov. Ircland's census re-
port of Texas-a count cannot be
kept of them. Stock, with the
same care, will do as we'll as in
Texas. In 1868 my losses in cat
tie and horses in Texas was 70 per
cent; in 1879, the loss was so per
cent, and in 1884 5Fper cent, and
this was the loss on average in
Middle and Western Texas.
Here / have wintered 100 head
