The Swallows Marvellous Speed.

lCor. Edinburgh Reviewl
Among all the migrants the swallow
has, perhaps, attracted most attention in
all ages and countries. 1t arrives in Sus-
sex villages with remarkable punctuality;
none of the migrants perform their jour
neys more rapidly than the swallows and
their congeners. A swift with young
ones, or during migration. covers from
!, 800 to 1000 miles day. 1t begins bust
ness, feeding its young, about o'clock
a. M. and continues it till 9p. m. At
that season, therefore the swift spends
nearly eighteen hours upon the wing. and
1t has been computed that at the ordinary
rate of travelling of this very fast bird it
would circumnavigate the globe in
about fourteen DAYS. AT q
push, if it were making forced flights
the swift would probably keep on the
wing, with very brief intervals of rest
during fourteen days. The speed of the
whole tribe is marvellous, and seems the
more so when compared with that of the
swiftest of animals that depend for their
progressive powers on legs, however
many legs they may be furnished with

every part of Great Britain including
Shetland except the swift, which is not
found in those islands.

The Hat.

One of the church wardens was OBJ
served to cast uneasy glances toward an
individual wearing sailor jacket and cap
of a seafaring and jaunty appearance,
which latter suEmounted a clean-shaven
face and closely cut hair. After little
while he approached the sailor laddie and
whispered audibly:
Cant you take off your hat? Is there
any reason why you can't take off your
hat?"
By the discounted look of the ques-
toner as he returned to his seat, and the
appearance of the rest of the costume as
the wearer of the hat walked out of
church at the conclusion of the service, it
was evident that the whispered reply was,

MISSED THE POINT.

In every question there is point to
seize which is to determine the question.
The News of last evening discussed at
length the grand jury matter, but it missed
the point. The point in the grand
jury matter was not whether certain men
should be re-indicted and whether the
grand jury could be packed SC as to ac-
complish such re-indictment, but was
whether or not the power to say what
was the law and what was not, apper-
tanned to the grand jury or the Judge.
That was the main point The other was
whether the Judge had power to remove
three jurors who refused to ac-
cept his Interpretation of the law
as being incompetent and issue
an open renire to fill their places after
they had been removed as incompetent.
The three grand jurors undertook to say
what was the law in defiance of the con-
struction of the Judge, and they were SO
lndlscreet as to openly claim that right if
their object was to prevent the re-indict-
ment of certain men. Had thev chosen
to rely upon their right to decide whether
or not the evidence was sufficient to war
rant the finding of an Indictment, no per-
son on earth could have compelled them
to bring such indictment. Itwas folly for
them to assume to say what the law was
or was not, but it was the greatest indis-
cretion in the world for them to assign
the reason they did for their non-action.
Truly, discretion is the better part
OF valor The grand jury dis
charge certain functions in the
administration of justice, and in some
OF the States their functions are dis
charged by the Prosecuting Attorney.
Would any one assume to say that the
Prosecuting Attorney can bring an infor-
nation regardless of the Courts interpre-
tatlon of the law? The chief point in the
grand jury matter was to whom belonged
the right to construe law, the Court or
the grand jury? Common sense and the
say to the Court.

SUCH A DREADFUL SEA.DOG.
The Cherished Pilot of Fiction
Smashed by Facts Hard Fist.

Among the glaring frauds is the pilot of
fiction. The general impression of this
article is salt-soaked citizen with hot
nose, long neck for grog, voice with
variations like bass viol, sou'wester,
short black pipe, shawl around his neck,
select vocabulary of profanity and a
generally damp air combined with
bow legged swagger. ''Luff,
you lubber," and 'Hold her steady
to port, my hearty" are the words of
wisdom that fall from his lips before he
"tumbles" into his boat over the side of
the vessel with bone-breaking reckless
ness. He can tell when, to certainty
of ten feet, just where his vessel is in a
fog that would make land lubber turn
pale. He is painted as the terror of
everybody aboard ship, from captain to
! cook. He could, in an emergency, chew
glass as easily as tobacco, while to his
grog capacity there is practically no
limit
The reality on the North River, New
York, and the Clyde, knocks the under
pinning from this idea of yellow-back
literature, and in fact of works of higher
grade in the book world. The New York
pilot is an elderly dude in white plug hat
and patent leather CATERS.
His clothing is Of the latest cut, his
linen is irreproachable, and he never
raises his voice above a conversational
tone. Standing beside the captain and
first officer on the bridge as the steamer
heads toward Sandy Hook, he says a
word and the order is sent back to the
wheelhouse by electricity. The simple
pressure of the thumb on an ivory button
does the work. Instead of the traditional
rum and water in the captains cabin,
when about to leave the ship, he lubri-
Gates his palate with small bottle of
Mumm's or Piper Heidsieck. He smokes,
but it is a Henry Clay. As he gingerly
clambered over the rail into the waiting
yawl, nineteen of the passengers held
their breath for fear he would crush his
cuffs or damage his light pantaloons in
the descent.
Thanks; that was done nicely. That
cursed Frenchman yesterday made me
bark my shins," was his parting words,
as he waved white hand in farewell
from the little boat. On the Clyde the
pilot wears Scotch cap, which alone
distinguishes him in makeup and manner
from his transatlantic brother. Glasgow

WHAT'S COMING?

The resignation of Mr.. Dickson and his
assistant, Mr. Varian, has given rise to
some hope, some disappointment, and
much conjecture. Those who have been
violating the Edmunds law have had
hope renewed within their hearts on ac-
count Of the resignation of Mr.. Dickson
and his assistant, while those who have
seen a determined and successful en-
forcement of the Edmunds law for the
past year are disappointed on account OF
the resignation of Mr.. Dickson, fearing
lest SO competent a man may not sue
ceed him. This fear arises from the fact
that all Mr.. Dickson's predecessors were
far his inferior for one reason or another,
and that his successors may also be his
interiors. To say that no one could fill Mr..
Dickson's place SO well as he has would be
extreme folly, but will it be so well filled,
is the question. He enforced the law
rigidly and honestly; but he did far more
He showed that the law could be en-
forced, and he has created standard of
excellence for the District Attorneyship
that public sentiment will not allow to be
lowered. The next District Attorney for
Utah will be more closely watched by the
nation than ever one was before. From
this alone the public here who are inter-
ested in the enforcement of the Edmunds
law and the accomplishment OF the object
for which it was enacted, take hope. 1t
is certain that Mr.. Cleveland fully appre-
ciates the difficulty in the way OF an en-
forcement OF the laws in Utah, and that
with such an appreciation he will give to
Utah District Attorney fully equal to
the task to be performed. Things have
reached that stage in Utah when there
should be a final settlement of this
ever-disturbing question of the en-
forcement of the laws and the
suppression of polygamy. 1t should
be remembered by all that in the
settlement of this Utah problem it will
necessarily take a very considerable time
no matter by what particular method the
final settlement may be reached. That
such a settlement as is desired by the
Government can be had is certain, but
in its accomplishment there must be no
hesitation, no haste, but the steady and
constant vindication of the laws. 1t is
the steady, never ceasing enforcement of
any and all laws that begets respect for
the laws. The spasmodic efforts hereto
fore made to enforce the laws have been
detrimental to the laws and to the mate
rial welfare of the Territory. Spasmodic
efforts should be thing OF the past,
while the continual enforcement of the
law against all violations should be the
policy OF the future, and for such viola
tors there should never be a season of
rest. Now or never should the Utah
problem be settled, and with the Govern
ment alone is the decision upon this ques-
ton. 1t can have its own way now if it |
but chooses to assert its authority and |
compel obedience to its laws. The strife |
in Utah should cease either bv the vindi- |
cation Of the laws, or by the repeal of the
laws which cause the strife.

GOD is ON OUR SIDE. -
A morning sheet SAYS:

A morning sheet says:
I'VE have still an abundance of faith that
God is on our side, and that the day will
come when Utah will be redeemed, regener-
ated and disenthralled.''
1t is strange how often God is intro
duced into the Utah drama. In the
Utah play he seems to perform about
the same part that the chorus did
IN the Greek drama. When there was
nothing else on the stage the
chorus came on to fill up and
bridge a long wait. The modern
drama has improved on this part of the
play for there is more of mechanism in
such an arrangement than of art. How
is it that it is sacrilege and superstition
Tor the Mormon people to invoke the
name of the Diety in sanction of their pc
cullar religious rites, and that the same
invocation on the part of those who are
opposed to them is pure Christianity and
patriotism? After all, can it be that poly
theism is the true doctrine? Who may saw
upon which side God is if God himself
does not? Is God being to be caioled
and fiattered, bullied and beat. the tool
and puppet of mems desires? To saw
that he is such is to insult the intelli-
gence of man and commit sacrilege if
that heavenly being rule DER the desti-
mes of man and this world. Is
there any more proof that God is
on the side of the sheet referred to
than that he is upon the side of the
Ne'OSg Certainly not. The question in
Utah is one of everyday and human ex-
perience; it is the question of a very ex
tensive disobedience to the laws and how
TO enforce obedience. There is Just as
much evidence that God inspired the re-
Velauon commanding the Mormons to
practice polygamy as that he is on the
side of the journal which holds the fore
most position among newspapers for a
thousand miles in either direction II
is the confusion in mems minds regarding
their duty towards the wished-for world
to come which makes them see but dimly
their duty towards the laws of their
country in this world. One religious sect
has Just as much right to say that they
are the chosen people as another, and to
say that the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob is especially their God. Such |
things, are merely claims and counter
claims which never have been and never
will be settled. 1t don't make bit of
difference as to whose side God is on in
the settlement of the Utah problem, the
question of the hour and the real live
issue is, who is in favor of the enforce
ment of the laws of the land and the
punishment of those who violate them,
and who is not?

CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS.

The season of accidents has returned.
A special to the DEMOCRAT last evening
announced the sad intelligence that a
young man, Soren Christensen by name,
had been shot dead while out deer hunt
ing with a couple of young men. 1t was
the same story that is always told in
such cases. Anxious and excited, eagerly
expecting the appearance of game, a
young man hears rustling in the brush
and supposes it is deer He fires, and
| hearing no sound thinks he has bagged
his game and runs with joy
in his heart and bounding life
! in his limbs to see the result of his lucky
shot, and the sight which greets him is
his dead companion, killed by his hand.
That it was accidental, and that sorrow
and regret will always haunt the one who
fired such fatal shot, does nothing to
restore the life that is gone, and that can
never be restored to earth. Sorrow
invades two families, and while from one
there has gone a well-loved one, the
shadow of death is ever lowering over
the other. And all this comes from
criminal carelessness. That these cases
OF death at the hands of friend while
out hunting are accidental and regretted
for a lifetime, makes no difference in
the actual result. A death has
been caused by criminal carelessness.
When out hunting with companions no
man has any right to fire at an unknown
object in the bush. Such precaution may
often cause the loss OF game, but such
precaution will always avoid the accidental
killing of a friend. When parties go out
hunting together there should be
mutual understanding that no one shall
discharge his gun at any object the nature
of which is not absolutely known In the
hunting of deer in the fall hunters usually
don grey clothes as being more inconspicu-
GUS than any other color and more nearly
like the color of deer at this season and
the trees which are denuded of their foil
age. A man who will fire at moving
object not knowing what it is is not
fit to handle fire arms, and especi-
ally is this the case when
he is out with others. Last year there
We're nearly half dozen just such acci-
dents as this one reported from Moroni,

cannot too strongly impress upon their

caution in the handling of firearms, and
that such care and caution must not be
laid aside for one moment. That a gun
