The Irrepressible Issue.
ovsrmor Pattisom, Of Pennsylvania,
Discusses the Liquor Question.

The following is from Governor
Rattison's message, on the
BsALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUo
"The attention of the General
Assembly iseoalled to the need of
bme legislation regulating che
Rle of intoxicating liquors. The
B tate has the same warrant for
kgislating upon this subject that
has upon the subject of mar
Gage and divorce.-the right in
erent in every organized COM
funity to protect itself from inju-
\, or the liability thereto, result
b. from the acts Of persons within.
Is lawful jurisdiction. 1t is IN
|ecessary, however, to attempt to
|pduce arguments in support of the
kgality of legislative restriction
Ipon the traffic in intoxicating
iauor, as the censtitutionality of
bch measures has been repeatedly
Ermed by courts Of competent
bthority. The important ques-
Jon for consideration is, whether
be sale of such liquors, as at pres
htoonducted, is g public evil, and
hat remedy can be applied for
rs ocnrection.
The convicts in our prisons, the
hupers in our almshouses, the in
bates of our insane institutions
hd the inhabitants of the abodes
| squalor and shame are largely
fcruited from the dram shops and

Economical aspects the State is
ually concerned in the problem
the repression Of drunkenness.
he subject has reached a point
here the decent and law-abiding
eople in the community have be-
me aroused to the necessity for
1ectlve action, and it behooves
General Assembly, IN response
thatjust sentiment, to look the
POSITION fearlessly in the face, and
topt such judicious measures as
Ill at least effect an amelioration

therefore recommend the in
Fease of the cost of license to such
sum as will decrease the number

the enormous number of tip

The Herb Doctors Paradise.

Consol Wright, of Santos, Brazil, en-
closes in letter to the State Department
notes upon the medicinal plants OF that
country The compilation IS the work
of S. S. SCHNEIDER, native born citizen
of the United States, who is now IN
Brazil. From Mr.. Schindler's notes 1t
appears that the country abounds IN
herbal remedies, and that alvelos, the
new cancer cure, is but one OF hundreds
of plants possessing properties OF value,
as vet almost unknown to materla
medica.
Alvelos is a shrub, Mr.. SCHNEIDER
writes, discovered by an eminent physi-
clan of Perambuco, to be a specific for
cancerous ulcers The juice is power
full caustic. Applied to cancer, it pro-
duces an irritating effect, which increases
to strong Inflammation, and at last cica-
trization takes place. Mr.. SCHNEIDER says
that the alvelos treatment has proven
successful in every case of cancer of the
lips n tongue, nose and breast where it
has been tried.
Baycuru, Mr.. SCHNEIDER says, is curl
Gus plant of Brazil, which buries itself in
the sand, number of leaves rising
above, seven inches long by two inches
wide. The flowers resemble saxifrage.
The whole plant is sometimes for days
together covered by the sea. The root is
six to seven inches long, one inch thick
and of tortuous shape. Externally it is
chocolate brown; internally, flesh colored.
1t is an unfailing remedy in all kinds of
enlargements and glandular swellings.
The juice of the fruit of the cajueiro
tree is one of the most powerful blood
purifiers known.
A decoction from the bark of the root
of the calunga shrub is a remedy for dys-
pepsia and intermittent fevers.
The leaves of the camapa plant con-
tain narcotic principle, and the juice of
the root and fruit is found excellent for
rheumatism and liver diseases.
Boiled fruit of the arvore Go pao tree
makes powerful poultice for ulcers.
The fruit of the cabacinho has an ad-
mirable effect upon dropsy.
The most stubborn coughs yield to a
tea made from leaves of the malvarisco
shrubs.
Pawpaw has been found to possess the
property of destroying the false mem
branes of Group and diphtheria.
Papaine is another diphtheria cure.
Poracary is Il sure antidote for bites OF
snakes.
Sapucareira bark makes a decoction
which seems to be natures remedy fol
kidney ailments.
There are no less than 312 plants OF
trees in Brazil which possess strong me-
dicinal properties. Mr.. Schindler's cata-
logue of them contains remedy for every
ill known to human flesh, and the wonder
inspired in the reader is that people
should ever die in that country.-,St

of the Constitution that America
has ever produced. They are
very fair average; some little better,
some little worse. So it is with the
Mormons, they are neither the greatest
saints nor the greatest rascals that ever
professed religion. They, too, are about
an average; some little better, some
little worse Would it not tend very
much to solution of the Utah problem
if people would recognize these facts?
Human nature is stronger than love OF
law, and to revile any man for opinions
sake is but to confirm that man more than
ever his opinion. To say that all Nor
mons are hypocrites and frauds is nom
sense likewise to say that all Gentiles and
Federal officials care only for money and
the destruction of female chastity, is
nonsense. What Utah most needs is re-
spect for the law and respect for persons.
The laws should be enforced no matter
who are their breakers, and mean asper-
sions should not be made upon the officers
for doing their duty. Nor should mean
aspersions be made upon men because
they entertain unpopular religious beliefs.
When men break the laws they should
suffer the punishment that the law
imposes for such violation, and all citiz-
ems should uphold the officers in their
duties.

to dullness of trade and partly to the in
creased use of other structural materials.
The production of salt was as follows; :;
Salt-The production in 1884 was g.
514,937 barrels of $50 pounds equivalent
to 1924, 49,, 1860 pounds, or 32,574,6S5
bushels, or 912, ,091 short tons, according
to the unit used). The total value, COM
puted on average wholesale prices at the
point of production, was 81, 1877, ,734. The
apparent output was 322,7O6 barrels
greater than in 1883, while the value
was ST., ,308 less; but the production fig
u1es do not include a considerable stock
on hand in the Onondaga district, not
officially reported because not inspected.
When the report is published we shall
give the amount that Utah has produced
of the above minerals, as they are among
our first Industries.

NONSENSE.

The world offers no better field for
the study OF humanity in all its phases
than Utah. The great passions of the
human heart are hatred and religious as
piration, and here these are found in
abundance and in the highest state of
development Here the one seems to be-
get the other The Mormons have high
religious aspirations, and for this the
Gentiles hate them. The Gentiles have va
rious religious ideas and aspirations and for
this the Mormons hate them. 1t is always
revelation or the Constitution nothing is
ever ordinary. If the officers of the law
try to do their duty and in doing their
duty are compelled to proceed against a
Mormon, the Mormons say it is because
he is a hungry official seeking gain and
nothing else. If Mormon does anything
that does not suit the Gentiles, no matter
how Indifferent in itself nor how lawful,
the Mormon is accused of hypocrisy.
The Mormons say that the Gentiles only
seek to rob and plunder them and
that they do not care for law
or virtue or anything else. The
Gentle says a Mormon processes his
faith because it sanctions carnality.
On the theory that Gods chosen people
will always be hated and reviled of man,
the Mormons and Gentiles in Utah are
both entitled to lay claim to that dis
tinction. Is it not nonsense for the Nor
mons to say that the Judges and Prose-
cutting Attorney and Marshal are all
leagued together for the purpose of max
ing money out of the Government? Is it
not nonsense for the anti-Mormons to say
that the leaders of the Mormon church
only care for their religion because of the
tithing that comes in? If one-quarter of
the harsh things that are said by either
party about the other in Utah were true,
then well might the disciples and followers
of Schopenhaur and Hartman boast that
man and all other things are inherently
bad and grow worse. All Federal
officials in Utah have not been above a
just suspicion, and all Mormons have
not been sincere. But are not these the
exceptions rather than the rule? In de-
nouncing or praising anything that be-
longs to the politics of either party in
Utah the extreme is always reached. In
Utah the medium does not exist. The
Federal officers who are administering
the law at present are not the greatest
men and patriots that America has ever
produced, neither are they the vilest
scoundrels and greatest enemies

THE MINERAL PRODUCT.

Very shortly the Government will pub
lish the second report on ''The Mineral
Resources of the United States" by
Albert Williams, ir., Chief of the Di-
vision of Mining Statistics and Technology
of the United States Geological Survey.
We have received an advance proof which
contains the principal totals of the various
mineral products of the United States for
the year 1884. We give a summary of
those minerals which most interest Utah.
The report not being yet out we cannot
give the amount produced here, but only
the total throughout the country.
Gold and silver-According to the mint
authorities the production of gold for
1884 was estimated at $50, 0,SOO, 900, and
the production of silver was estimated at
$4S, 100000, at the coming rate; total,
$40, 100000. This was an increase of
100000 gold and $2,6OO,OO0 silver over
1888.
Lead-In 1884 there were produced
1889 short tons, worth on the Atlantic
sea-board $1O,5S7, ,O42. The production
fell short of that of 1888, 4,O6O tons, while
the decrease in value was 81, ,7S5, ,677.
Copper-The production of copper in
1884 was las, ,221 1884 pounds, which in
cludes 2,S5S,754 pounds made from i'm
ported pyrites, OF the value of 81, ,7S9, ,6S7.
The amount produced was $500, ,139
pounds greater than in 1888, but the total
value was $275, ,l2O less than in that year.
Building Stone-It is estimated that the
value of the building stone quarried in
1884 was 100000, as against $40, ,OOO,-
600 in 1888; the decline being partly due

DIRECTOR BURCHARD.

Mr.. Burchard, the Director of the Mint,
is making himself very conspicuous by
his action in refusing to resign when re-
quested. His first objection to resigning
is that he holds an Office that was created
by special statute, and he and his friends
assume that its tenure is such that he
cannot be removed by the President
unless the Senate consents to his remov-
al. This may possibly be the case,
but it is doubtful, and at all events
Mr.. Burchard has assumed a very
peculiar attitude towards his superiors.
In such offices as the one he occupies
it is always expected that the incumbent
will be in sympathy with the Secretary
of the Treasury and the general policy of
the Administration. He is not in sym
pathy with the new Treasurer in his
policy, and in some respects is said to be
opposed to him. 1t seems that from the
very outset the Director has been inter-
posing all sorts of objections to the plans
of the new Treasury officers, and to such
an extent that the Treasury officers
have come to look upon him as an
obstructionist. Apparently he is an
obstructionist more because he Is
we'll aware that there is some
little question as to whether he can
be removed, and is pursuing his
present course more from a desire to
block the way of the Administration than
for any other purpose. He is acting the
dog in the manger to perfection. Why
he should cling SO tenaciously to his
office is hard to see. If the charges
which have been made against him are
true, namely, permitting a defaulting
subordinate to resign, errors of judgment,
inefficiency, carelessness in the purchase
of silver, then his removal should be
made forthwith. But if these charges
are true, it is but natural that
he should desire to remain in
Office as he is much better prepared to
defend himself in Office than out of Office.
Remaining in Office also gives him an OPP
portunity to partly cover up any tracks
that may have been wayward, and make
good any deficiencies that may have oc-
Cured. Of the charges made against
him the gravest is the one which says
that he permitted a defaulting subor
dinate to resign. If he knew of the de-
falcation of his subordinate he was
equally as guilty as the subordinate but
if his subordinate resigned without his
superior knowing of his defalcation, then
the same blame cannot be attached TO
him. Against this view it may be Justly
and properly urged that it was his duty
to know the condition of things
under his charge, and if he did not,
then the charge of inefficiency is true.
If these charges against him are not true,
he owes it to himself to refuse to resign
until they are cleared away, but to play
the part of an obstructionist merely be-
cause he thinks he can, is worthy of con-
tempt alone. He will in all probability
be removed and be succeeded by some
one equally as competent and who does
not think he has life office. He may
refuse to resign, but some one may be
put in his place and be recognized by
superiors and subordinates, while Mr..
Burchard may be compelled to defend
himself and his position after he is prac-
tically ousted.

CARLorrA.-It will be remembered that
the ex-Empress Carlotta recently celebrated
the forty-ffth anniversary Of her birth, and
II was announced that marked improve
ment had taken place in her mental and
bodily health DR.. Smith, the specialist,
after an extended observation, now reports
that he can find no basis for any hope OF a
permanent recovery. She is possessed by q
persistent deusion that Macmillan is alive ;
that he is working out brilliant destiny,
and that he will soon be Emperor OF INC
whole world. She spends much OF her t,me
in searching for him in the rooms ana gar
dens of her chateau at Bonchant. In a, nsl
calmer moods she holds receptions. Inese
are limited to the ladies OF the Belgian
court. Towards these she maintains an eA,
tremely dignifed and imperial mein. One
nbase of Carlotta's insanity is remarkacie.
She has conceived passion for making ire
nuent purchases of costly court costumes
As she buys with exquisite taste. the cos
times are subsequently, sold without loss,
and often with great profit to ladies OF nigh
standing in Brussels.
