There is talk of organizing a new
cornet band here, the members of the
old organization failing to get along
amicably together. 1t occurs that all
differences should be healed, a compe-

citizens will no doubt contribute to-
ward buying the boys a set of instru-
ments and otherwise encourage them.
In union there is strength, boys.

edly premeditated, and a delib-
 crate insult to the Government un-
 der which we live, amounting to lit
 tie less than treason, and it should
 be punished as such. But bad as
 the action is, and disgraceful as 1t
 always will be to the national hon.
 or its results may yet serve pur-
 pose. Those at distance from
 the Mormon evil can see from this
 how insolent and defiant these vio-
 lators oflaw have become, and may
 be aroused to a determination of
 stamping out Mormonism. This has touched the nations honor, and the insult will probably i'll the end
 be atoned for by the abolition of Mormonism. To us nothing seems more pertinent than the remark made to the leaders of the Saints" in Salt Lake City on the Fourth of July by one who had been a com missioned officer in the Confederate army. He said to them: Don't meddle with that flag. We tried it for four years and had to give it up and you had better let 1t alone" !" May the analogy thus presented to the mind by one who had been a part in the little unpleasantness be still further carried out by the speedy abolition of the last relic of barbarism in our land. The issue has now been forced by the Nor mon leaders in Utah. They plainly declare that if they cannot carry on the system which our laws de- clare to be wrong, they will defy the law, as twenty-four years be- fore, when our glorious Abraham Lincoln was at the head. Let not the government hesitate to accept this issue. Had the incidents of the Fourth of July taken place in any foreign country, an instantan- eous explanation and full repara- ton would have been required from Washington, and in case of refusal no doubt a war would have resulted. Such, plainly, should be the course at present. The bold stand taken by the Mormon City Council of Salt Lake City in in- dorsing fully the reasonable action of the city officers demands bold action, such only as can be given by the strong arm of the govern ment. That such action may be taken most speedily and decidedly, is the wish of every loyal citizen. Review.

U. s. Grant, IT,, and Nellie, were
 sleeping the sleep of childhood in
 the nursery room above, otherwise
 the entire family and household
 were gathered at the bedside of
 the dying man. The members of
 the group had been summoned not
 a moment sooner than was pru-
 dent. The doctors noted on enter
 ing the room and passing to the
 bedside, that already a purplish
 tint, which is one of natures sig
 nals of final dissolution, had set
 tied beneath the finger nails. The
 hand that Dr. Douglas lifted was
 fast growing colder than it had
 been through the night, the pulse had futtered beyond a point where the doctor could distinguish 1t from the pulse beats in his own finger tips. The respiration grew quicker at the close and also less labored and almost noiseless. This fact was in its results comfort to the watchers at the bedside, to whom was spared an agonizing or other than peaceful death.
 The wife almost constantly smoothed the face, forehead and hands of the dying General, and at times, as passonate longing to prevent the event so near would arise within her, Mrs. Grant press ed both his hands, and leaning forward tcnderly kissed the face of the sinking man. Colonel Fred Grant sat silently and with evi- dent feeling, though his bearing was that of a soldiers son at the deathbed of heroic father. Mrs. U. S. Grant, IT,, was deeply moved, but Jesse bore the scene steadily. and the ladies, while watching with wet cheeks, were silent as beitted the dignity of life such as was closing before them.
 The General had passed five minutes beyond 8 o'clock, and there was not one of the strained and waiting watchers but who could watch the nearness of the tide to it's final ebbing. Dr. Douglas noted the nearness of the supreme mo- ments, and quietly approached the bedside and lent above 1t, and while he did so, the sorrow of the gray-haired doctor seemed closely allied with that of the fam fly. pr. Shrady also drew near. It was seven minutes past s o'clock and the eyes of the general were closing. His breathing grew more hushed as the last functions of his heart and lungs were hastened to the closing of the ex-President's life. A peaceful expression seemed to be deepening in his firm and strong-lined face, and 1t was re- fiected as a closing comfort to the sad hearts that beat quickly under the stress of loving suspense. A minute more passed, and as the General drew a deeper breath there was an exhalation like that of one relieved of a long and anxious ten sion. The members of the group were stilIed, and each waited to note the next respiration. It did not come then. It never came. There was absolute stiffness m the room, and hush of expectant that no sound broke save the song of the birds in the pines outside of the cottage, and the throbbing of an engine that all night had waited by the title mountain depot down the slope.
 ''It is all over," quietly spoke Dr. Douglas, and then there came heav- ly to each witness the realization hat General Grant was dead.

DURING the last year 303, 901 persons
emlgrated from Great Britain, being a
decline of nearly "a per cent from the
number of emigrants In 1888. 1t is
stated that quite a considerable proper
ton of the emigrauts consisted of persons
born on the continent, who had taken
up a residence In England and Scotland
for the apparent purpose of earning
money sufficient to carry them to their
destination. OF the whole number,

40, 944 went to Australia, 37,043 to
Canada, 1860 to the Cape of Good
Hope, and the balance to various other
countries. The number of persons who
entered Great Britain with the purpose
of making 1t their home is stated to have
been 123,466, of which a large proper
ton were persons Of means. The in
crease was about 10000 over the immi-
grafton of 1888. Of the persons emil,

for Canada, while the Irish preferred the

Rural World.
A later spring we rave not known for a
long time. The weather still continues
cold, though the grass lis beginning to turn

turage for stock. We see the plows are
beginning to run. There has been no rain
at st. Louis for months. Clsterns are
dry and mscadamized roads are dusty.
Farmers should be ready with strong
teams and plenty of good men to put id
crops at the earliest moment that the
ground Is In good Horder. But by all
means have the soil In good condition and
well prepared, and the seed the very
best. Turn over q new leaf now, and put
no more crops In cultivation than can be

Put the balance of the land In grass, for
1t La the most profitable crop the farmer
raises. At the low prices the cereal crops
command, 1t Is better to devote more
land to rearing stock or to dairy framing.
The farmer should look ahead and try
to raise such crops or such stock as will
pay best. Don't do just as your fathers
did unless you are sure that it pays best
but keep up with the spirit of the age.
