In transplanting plants and trees. have
holes wide enough TO accommodate the
spreadout roots without having to bend them
in at the ends. Have wide rather than deep
holes. Cut clean all the ragged, wounded
roots, shorten the branches in proportion
to the muiilation of the roots, but shorten
anyway.

A good garden should not show weed.
A large garden should for the most part be

and constant working are the two essentials
after good seed has been sown.

mines of Utah other than those where
precious metals are delved for were de-
veloped, this Territory would stand second
to none in wealth The iron ores OF Utah
are said TO be equal to the best
Norway ores, but as yet it has been
found impossible TO successfully re-
duce them. II proper and extensive
experiments in reducing them were
made, cheap and profitable method OF
reducing them would probably be found.
To do this the aid of chemist must be
sought; and il this were done no doubt
science would solve the problem which
rough experiment has failed to solve.
The deposits OF copper are said to be very
extensive in many parts OF the Territory,
but as yet they remain undeveloped. The
mineral resources OF Utah are almost
wholly undeveloped, and with an influx
OF capital, for which we may hope one day,
all these resources will be developed to
an extent now undreamed Of.

AN IMPORTANT ACCIDENT.

A slight accident sometimes changes
the course of history, and this may be
the case with the fall which Prince Bis
marcls had from his horse few days
since. Bismarck is well advanced in
years, and ut his time of life fall is a
thing from which one rarely RECEIVERS.
General Grant never recovered from the
fall which he had year or SO before his
death, while that fall probably hastened
his death. If this fall which Bismarck
has just received should prove more
serious than is now thought,
what would be the result upon
the destiny OF the German Empire? So
closely has the life OF Bismarck been in
terwoven with the greatness of Prussia
that it is almost impossible to contem-
plate the one separately from the other.
He has united Germany and made Prus-
sia foremost in that union, while to united
Germany he has given the foremost posi-
ton on the Continent The work of his
life has been the building up Of one of
the greatest empires the world has ever
seen. But the destiny OF that empire is
not yet accomplished. Perhaps its des-
tiny may be greatly different from the
destiny OF which Bismarck dreams. That
the German Chancellor will have no sue
cessor is certain. Men may succeed to
the place which he now fills, but it would
be a thing almost without precedent for
him to have successor his equal in the
greatness which nature has bestowed
upon him. His son Herbert is said to he
a man OF superior abilities, but it is not
likely that he is the peer OF his father.
The young Augustus was great, but he
was not so great rs was Cesar. The
younger Pitt was not the equal of the
Great Commoner, although he was great
among the great. Napoleon is unique
among the Buonapartes; in fact he is
unique among men.
This accident to Bismarck may be of
the greatest importance to the world, and
many times a mere accident changes the
destinies of nations. 1t has been said
that dish oil garlic changed the fate of
the world on the fatal twenty-frst of
june. 1915; and it is possible that a
l,arseback fall will be as potent to in
fluence the destinies of nations as was
that dish OF garlic.

POLITICAL DISABILITIES.

The Senate bill to remove the political
disabilities OF General Alex. X. Lawton,
OF Georgia, has passed the House, and
now awaits the Presidents signature.
This it will certainly receive, as the Pres
ident nominated General Lawton for
Minister to st. Petersburg, but his name
was withdrawn on account OF his political
disabilities. The political disabilities of
General Lawton were q natural conse-
quence OF the war but the war is so long
passed and the passions which ragged in
those unhappy days are now so soothed
that to continue political disabilities
against some of those who
fought for the Coniederacy, after
the extension OF almost universal
amnesty, is bad policy, rs it can only
tend to keep alive memories that are
betterdead By some it is maintained
that the removal OF the political disabili-
ties OF all who fought against the Union
is an insult and an outrage upon those
who fought ior it. We cannot so see it.
Those who fought for and saved the
Union fought in II gallant and noble
cause, and they fought to save the cause
and not TO crush those who were against
it, and when they had won they wished
to welcome back into the Union those
who through error had sought to destroy
it. The nation which had conquered all
foes could afford to be magnanimous
Had the nation not been magnanimous,
those who had been leaders in the
rebellion would have been hung as
traitors, and when once begun the hang
ing would necessarily have been wide
spread. But the magnanimity OF the
nation did not stop here. 1t restored to
those who had been in arms against
it their political rights, and this was wise
and proper, and it is wise and proper that
they should be restored to each and every
one, no matter how high or how low they
were in the Confederacy. The United
States are too great to hold petty spites,
and they cannot afford to be less power
full and magnanimous than the Republic
OF France, and the Republic OF France
granted universal amnesty, and this in
cluded the Communards without excep-
tion. What ii France had excepted

Henri Rochefort from the operations Of
the amnesty act, would she not have
conferred upon him greatness which is
now totally wanting to him? Since the
surrender at Appomatox Court House the
importance and fame of Jefferson Davis
have lain in the fact that the grace Of
amnesty has been denied him.
Robert Toombs, who has died within
week, is another instance. Who cared
whether he gave his allegiance to the
United States or not ? His persistent
endeavor to be irreconcilable made him
far more ridiculous than dangerous. And
the same was the case with Judah p. Ben
iamin, although he was entitled to far
more respect than Toombs, because he
removed to London and there succeeded
in acquiring fortune and additional fame.
The political disabilities of every ex-rebel
oughtto be removed, and il such ex-rebels
do not choose to take advantage OF the
political rights bestowed upon them let
them go without them and continue to
fight windmills until death relieves them
from their foolishness and self-imposed
political disabilities.

AN IRISH PARLIAMENT.

The English elections being over and
the Liberals being returned to power, Mr..
Gladstone is now at liberty to tell what
his plans are. A London special to the
New York Post says, on what is claimed
TO be the highest authority, that Mr..
Gladstone's scheme for the settlement of
the Irish question contemplates an Irish
Parliament. If such is the case, the in
evltable in Irish matters has come, but it
has come through the agitation OF the
Irish, which has been marked by many
crimes, and not through the graceful con-
cession of the English Parliament.
Whenever any Irish wrong has been
righted it has been rightcd by the agita-
ton OF the Irish and not by the states
manship of England. Mr.. Gladstone's
famous land act was forced by the clamors
OF the Irish, and it has been so in all the
reforms which have been brought about
in Ireland within the past hundred years.
Had Mr.. Gladstone introduced a bill for
the establishment OF an Irish Parliament
in 1880, such as is now said TO be in con-
temptation, how different would have
been the condition OF things IN unhappy
Ireland. No English statesman has ever
yet anticipated conciliatory legislation for
Ireland, and the greatest part OF states
manship is wise anticipation. 1t is better
that wise legislation should be late than
never, but its lateness often takes from it
much OF its efficiency. How far this pres
ent scheme will conciliate Ireland it is
impossible to say. 1t should do much to
restore peace and prosperity TO her, al
though it is many, many years since
these twain dwelt in the Emerald Isle.

A GOOD INDICATION.


A Tribune special says that the Lake
Superior companies have made contracts
within the last few days with various
home manufacturers for vast amount of
ingot copper to be delivered the coming
year. The amount so contracted is said 10
beabout ten million pounds while the most
important thing of all is the fact that the
price, llla cents per pound, is fully hall
a cent higher than ingot copper was com
manding II month ago. This is most en-
couraging and shows that there is a
revival OF business and that the
country is gradually awakening
from its long commercial lethargv.
In the market copper is almost as inn
portant as steel and iron, and an upward
tendency in the price is one of the best
indications that prosperity is returning.
If the copper trade reyives Utah should
feel the effects OF it, not on account of
any copper mines OF her own, but on ac.
count OF the impetus it would give Butte,
the Anaconda OF that town being the
rival OF the Calumet and Hecla, and Butte
looks to Salt Lake as its centre, II the
