TIoN2
One day this week Mr. George l.. Spear
OF Brantroo, the new Democratic collector OF
internal revenue for the district Of Vermont,
appeared In Brattleboro by the early train for
the professed purpose Of looking over the pa
pers Of the several applicants and satisfying
himself by personal investigation az TO which
Of them ought TO have the appointment to
succeed II. Il. Taylor as deputy collector. IL
we may trust the Democratic version OF the
days proceedings, however, the glimpsea
which the faithful got Of Mr.. Spear we're few
and far between. They allege that this new
and guileeas official was pounced upon by
willy Republicans tho instant he set foot on
tho station platform, and that these wicked
men never once let him out OF sight during the
day. All day the Democrats followed in their
wake, In the eager hope Of getting just look

selves up In a row of 20 in front Of the Brooks
House, Just in season 10 see Mr.. Spear go TO
the 10 p. NJ train In charge Of two Republi-
cans, one carrying his grip-sack and the 9th
or holding him tightly by the arm on the 9th
or side. As the forlorn aud astOunded twenty
rubbed their eyes next morning and pinched
themselves to make sure that the rascals had
really got to go, they began to ruminRte on
"what kind Of Vermont Democrat the new
collector is anyhow" and as their righteous
indignation rises they vow that they will have
him removed for being an Offensive parti-
san" But these brethren should learn to
possess their souls in patience, and in due
time the powers that be will speak. They
should remember, moreover. that I'VE Re

A big dredge sank in the Suez canal early
this month and caused blockade which it
took two weeks to raise, OBTAINING over hun
bred steamers meantime at either entrance.
This incident is cited to prove that hostile
power might sink half dozen vessels in the
canal, causing delay of several weeks, and
meantime disastrous consequences might re-

The COurt Speaks at Last.

Last Saturday Hon. Royal Tyler, Clerk of
Courts, received notice from Judge Taft of
the Supreme Court that the Court had decid-
ed not to grant S. M. Waite's motion for a
re0pening and rehearing of the case of the
First National bank against his estate. United
States Attorney Haskins Immediately mott
fed the Comptroller of the Currency of the
decision and the stockholders once more hope
that the promised dividend will be paid to
them. There would now seem to be no rea-
son why it should not be paid at once.

Natalie Old Maids.

Look at the list: Elizabeth of England,
one of the most illustrious of modern
soyereigns. Her rule over Great Britain
certainly comprised the most brilliant
literary age of the English speaking peo-
pie. Her political acumen was certainly
put to as severe tests as that OF any other
ruler the world ever saw. Maria Edge
worth was an old maid. 1t was this
woman's writings that first suggested the
thought of writing similarly to Sir Walter
Scott. Her brain might well be called
the mother of the Waverly novels. Jane
Porter lived and died an old maid. The
children of her busy brain were ''Thad-
deus of Warsaw" and "The Scottish
Chiefs" which have moved the hearts OF
millions with excitement and tears. Jo-
anna Baillie, poet and playwriter, was
lone of 'em.'' Florence Nightingale,
most gracious lady, heroine Of lnker-
mann and Balaklava hospitals, has to
the present written "Miss" before her
name. The man who should marry her
might well crave TO take the name of
nightingale. Sister Dora, the brave
spirit of English pest houses, whose story
is told as helpful evangel, was the bride
of the worlds sorrow only. And then
what names could the writer and reader
add to those whom the great world may
not know, but we know, and the little
world of the village, the church, the
family know, and prize beyond all worlds.

WESTERN DYNAMITERS.

The news from Denver in regard to the
doings of dynamiters is not such as to
give great assurance of a peaceful solu-
ton of labor troubles between employers
and employees. Several attempts have
been made TO blow up trains on the Den
yer and Rio Grande, and it was only good
fortune that saved them. kilograms of
yesterday state that the residents in the
western part of Denver were aroused at
an early hour yesterday morning by
severe explosions, and on investigation it
turned out that a barn belonging to a
mill-owner had been blown up. The rea-
son for charging the crime to dynamiters
is that some months ago the owner of the
barn discharged some hands from the
mill, as they demanded an increase of
wages and the demand was refused.
Explosions and the destruction of life
and property are but poor way to settle
differences between laborers and capital
lists. Workmen have their rights, and so
have employers. 1t is doubtful whether
such outrages as the ones which have lust
occurred in Denver always proceed
in the first instance from the discharged
workmen, as in all places of anv
considerable size there are plenty
of idle vagabonds who are always ready
and anxious to do anything except work,
and in times of trouble these men come
to the front and in great measure direct
the discomfort of the workmen and often
lead them into excesses. They do this by
stirring up the worst feelings in man, and
tell long tales OF how they themselves have
suffered, but they have resolved TO suffer
no longer. They play the part of the fox
to the geese. The great strike of 1877,
with its attendant train of pillage and
outrage, was in great part owing
to the Vaccinations of this
idle and vicious element of society.
The miners and railroad hands
had their grievances, but when they laid
down their tools and refused to work at
the cut wages they were asked to take.
they did not dream of the wild satur
MALTA which was to follow their action.
That was the work of just such men as
are to-day using dynamite in Denver and
along the track OF the Denver & Rio
Grande Railway. Their theory Of right
ing wrongs they have derived from
the Socialists of Germany, the Mill
lists of Russia, the Communards of
France and the Dynamiters of Ireland
1t is a theory which teaches that all
things are wrong in this world, and they

Miss Cleveland On Woman's Tears.

God sees in the fearful cry OF the bruised
and baff1ed mother, sister, wife, his own
argument for the utter extinction OF in
toxicating beverages-the suppression,
root and branch, of the liquor traffic. And
in that cry he makes his argument to
men. A chancelor's philosophical grasp
ing, in its mighty sapience, cults and
sciences which we poor women cannot
even name, has, as yet, failed to aPpre-
hend that chemistry of heaven which
distills from a Christian mothers tear the
first drop OF that mighty gathering storm
whose full and final outbreak shall sweep
away forever all refugees and lies which.
sincere or insincere, are the bulwark of
the liquor traffic. "The children of Israel
sighted by reason of their bondage, and
their cry came up unto God; and God
heard their groaning, and God remem-
bered his covenant and God looked upon
the children OF Israel and had respect
unto them. ."-Letter IN n. y. Sun.

THE REST.

The public is getting a rest for a short
while on the cry OF Crusade" and 'raid. :"
Why there should be any cessation OF
the cry is rather hard to see, unless it be
that not quite so many new cases for
polvgamv and unlawful cohabitation are
coming before the courts and commits
sioners as were. But the rest from
the cry is a good thing any way,
as it will allow people to think
the situation over little, for they have
had no time in which to think, having
been so busy crying persecution or prose-
cution. 1t is well for all to consider what
has been done in Utah in the past eight
or ten months towards settling the Nor
mon problem. In that time more has
been accomplished towards making the
laws supreme than in twenty-five years
of haphazard efforts to suppress polyga-
my. And how has this been done? :?
Merely by determined and never-ceasing
effort by the United States officials to do
their duty. Perhaps the men who have
been most prominent in this enforcement
of the law have been men OF superior
learning and ability to those who have
been here in former time. They have
known the law as it is, and have not
been under the necessity Of APP
pealing to Congress to pass new laws
to aid them in their ignorance.
Much of the trouble in Utah has arisen
from the ignorance and imbecility of
Federal officials, and it was owing to
these things that it has always been said
the Utah problem could not be solved
without additional and extraordinary
legislation. There has been some addi-
tional legislation, and it has helped mat
ters. Such was the Edmunds law.
But until the advent OF the
present Chief Justice there was not
man on the bench who knew
what there was in the Edmunds law
There is in that law the power to forever
suppress polygamy in Utah, and the suc-
cess that it has had proves that it will
have still greater success. These are
things which the Mormon people would
do we'll to think over and act upon, for
the prosecutions of the past will be
greatly outnumbered in the future, and
the spell of rest they now enjoy is but the
calm before the storm. Would it
not be well to improve this time
of rest and look the facts in
the face just as they are? Those
facts will tell them that il they do not
choose to come within the law and sub
NIT to the authority of the Government,
they will be made to come within the law
and compelled to submit to the authority
of the United States. There is mo re-
treat" by the Government this time, with
so a determined a man to execute the
laws as President Cleveland

can only be righted by committing
greater wrongs. It is pessimism put IN
practice. Won Hartmann thinks and
argues that all things are arranged 1or
the worst in this world, and that there is
nothing good or pleasant in it, and at the
same time enjoys life in Berlin and Is
happy with his wife and children Ihe
Berlin disciple of Schopenhauer Is the
oretical pessimist, while the disciples OF
Won Hartmann are pratical pesslmlsts
and demons incarnate. They teach that
those who belong TO the well-to-do class
are their enemies, and that all civil gov
ernments are but engines with which TO
Cypress the poor, that the rich may i've
off them, and that these evils can ana
should be corrected by spreading terror
and destruction. The views OF the Ger
man Socialists may not be so extreme and
radical as those just presented, but the
above presentation is none too extreme
for the views of the Nihillsts,
Communards and Dynamiters. The
ofenses of such as these are new to
the catalogue OF crime, and in
most codes there is no adequate provision
for their punishment. The plottings and
doings of such men should be punished
as among the most heinous Of crimes; for
in the death and destruction they spread
all alike suffer, the young and the old,
the innocent and guilty. As yet we have
had no experience of such things in
Utah, and it is to be hoped we never
may have; but if riot shall ever run
RAMPANT in Utah as it has in some places,
there should be no hesitation on the part
OF the authorities to crush it out, cost
what it may. In such cases there should
! be no dalliance.

HOW HERRING ARE CURED.
Scaling the Fish-Salting and SmOk-
ing-Packing-PiC

In Mr.. Perley's report of the fisheries
Of the bay of Fundy, the manner OF
curing herring is thus described:
The fish are scaled by being washed in
bushel baskets with square bottom.
open like a coarse sieve, the men stand
ing in the water up to their knees. The
best fish have very few scales, and only
half bushel Of them are taken in the
basket at once; they are then salted in
large tubs, the salt being stirred through
them by hand; the quantity used is half
bushel of salt to two and a half barrels
OF fish, which are tub full They lie in
salt twenty-four hours, and are then
washed in fresh water to prevent their
becoming 'salt burnt" after which they
are strung on rods with their heads all
one way, and then hung up in the smoke
( house.
In Clements the smoke-houses are
usually thirty feet square, with fourteen
foot posts and high roof; no fish hang
nearer the fire than seven feet, but the
most careful curers do not hang them
nearer than eight feet. Rock maple is
used in smoking; when it cannot be pro-
cured, ash is used, being considered next
best. The process of smoking usually
occupies eight weeks, and it requires the
whole time of one person to watch the
fire and to attend to the smoking. in
which much judgment and great care are
required. The smoke is usually made up
at nightfall, unless the weather is warm
and wet, during which time no fires are
made.
In fine weather the smoke-houses are
thrown open during the day to cool; and
the greatest care is taken all the time to
Keep down heat, and to render the smoke
as cool as possible by numerous windows
and openings. After being smoked the
iish are packed in boxes, eighteen inches
long, ten inches wide and eight inches
deep, measured on the inside; and there
should be twenty-four dozen fish in box
of prime herring. If the fish are large
and of the best quality, it requires some
