The Wonders Of our Own Land.

America OF to-day has her wonders ne
less renowned than those Of the old
world. Not only has she secured posses
sion Of the great Bartholdi statute, but
America has inaugersted q series of won
des of her own, which would have
caused he builders OF Pyramids to blush
at the insignihcence Of their handiwork.
The largest building ever erected bv hu-
man hands is now being built at New
Orleans. The great building at Salt Lake
which the Saints have been rs wears in
building, will, when completed, rival any
religious edifce ever constructed in the
old world. Nor is America behind in
natural wonders. Europe has her Fin
gals Cave and Giants Caussway, America
has her Natural Bridge and Falls Of Nj.

The Press and Dakotian says an
error in regard to the act Of the late
Legislature regarding the number of
commissioner districts in each coun-
ty, has found its way into the news
papers and become quite prevalent.
The bill designed to make the law
general, but it was defeated and
passed as q special act including not
more than half dozen counties. -

mains in force.

COMING BACK.

1t is generally understood that Prose
cuting-Attorney Dickson will return to
Utah and again fill the post of District
Attorney We trust he will, for he is the
ablest United States District Attorney
that Utah ever had. To him is chiefly
owing the check which has been put upon
the practice OF polygamy, and it is not
probable that the Administration would
have selected better man
than he for the place, while
in the lottery of appointment
much less able attorney might have
been sent to Utah. Mr.. Dickson has been
interviewed by a San Francisco Call re-
porter, and the reporter makes Mr.. Dick
son say that "a story, started undoubtedly
by the Mormons, was being circulated by
my Gentle enemies, to the effect that I
had sold out to the Mormon church, and
that they had paid me for resigning"
If such story has been in circulation,
its circulation has been very limited in
this city. If such story has been circu-
lated, there is not a man here, either
Gentle or Mormon, who believes it for an
instant. That which shines as brightly as
anything in Mr.. Dickson's Utah career is
his integrity and honesty, and had he
been open to corruption, it is probable
that he would have been corrupted long
ago and that many indictments which
have been found would never have ex-
listed. 1t is to be hoped that Mr. Dick
son will be permitted to withdraw his
but he needs no vindication
against charges of corruption, and the
reason which he assigns for recalling his
if he did assign it, is not
happy one.

FAVOR COERCION.

England continues greatly agitated ovel
Irish affairs, and especially the proposal
for an Irish Parliament. The London
Times has been calling for martial law in
Ireland, but the Times has lost much OF
the power which it was once wont to have
over the destinies of England 1t is still
the great paper of England, but its infu-
ence has been greatly lessened by such
journals as the Daily News and the Tele-
graph, while some of the Provincial pa
pers, such as the Manchester Guardian
and the Liverpool Mercury, have an influ-
ence in the country that the metropolitan
press are very apt to underrate. These
other papers, save perhaps the Telegraph,
which is Tory of the Tories, do not favor
the plan for coercing Ireland to the ex-
tent advocated by the Times Mr.. Fos-
ter's Coercian Acts failed most signally
to work any reform in Irish matters. The
London Economist says that it is a hope
less task for Parnell to undertake to make
eighty-five members of Parliament die
tate to five hundred and fifty-four men,
bers. Perhaps it is, SO far as positive
legislation is concerned, but when it
comes to the methods Of obstruction and
delay these eighty-five members possess
wonderful power, power that
was able to render the efforts of
the late Gladstone Government to
redeem the promises given by it
on the hustings futile. That power was
sufficient to make the British House of
Commons change the rules governing
the proceedings of that body. That
power was sufficient to alarm all England
during the recent elections, and it is now
sufficient to make Mr.. Gladstone, one of !
the greatest statesmen England ever pro-
duced, consider earnestly and favorably
Mr.. Parnell's plan of Home Rule for Ire
land. The adoption of that plan will do !
much to pacify Ireland and right her i
wrongs, but to adopt more severely CO. /
srciye measures towards her will be but |
TO make her condition worse and make |
onger her already long list of grievances.

POLITICS A BUSINESS.

/ Politics is only kind of business; it is OF
supreme importance, but should always be
| treated like other business, with the same
rectitude and the same simplicity OF means
Such has always been the motto oi
President Grevy, and in this motto there
is world of good sense and political
sagacity Yes, politics is only kind OF
business, important before all others, but
business still. Its importance comes
from the fact that it is the public busi-
ness of the whole people; that business
which is necessary in all society and
without which civilization would soon
sink into barbarism Upon the good
management OF the public business de-
pends the prosperity of private and indi-
vidual business. The motto of M. Grevy
embodies the whole theory of civil-ser-
vice reform, for that theory merely
teaches and insists that the public busi-
ness of the Government shall be con-
Quoted upon the strictest business prin-
ciples 1t is not asking much, but this
Just and reasonable demand is assailed as
though it were an overture for treason.
Politics has been more than business
in this country; it has been a profession
whose fundamental doctrine has been
that to the victors belong the spoils, and
to get the spoils has been the chief busi-
ness. This business has not been treated
with the same rectctude and simplicity
that it deserved: in fact, whenever any
reformer of any party has undertaken to
introduce into the business of the Gov
ernment the rectitude and simplicity
which are among the first requirements
in private enterprises, such reformers
have been cried down as men desiring
the overthrow of republican institutions
and the introduction of the ways and
ideas of monarchies. Politics is the ad-
justment and control of the common
affairs of the people associated together
for the purposes of protection and So
ciety, and that these affairs shall be ad
justed and controlled with rectitude and
should be the ardent desire of
every citizen.

THE FRENCH PRESIDENT.

The reelection of Mr.. Jules Grevy as
President of the French Republic is an
assurance of a conservative policy for
France. Watchers of affairs in France
have been very apprehensive lest the
Radicals or the Monarchists should tri-
umph; their fears are now dssipated
The Republic has been an object of
hatred by all the Continental Powers.
and they have been anxious that France
should either inaugurate such a revolu-
ton that the aspirants to her throne
would have chance of success, or that
she should go to such extremes in radi-
calism as are advocated by Rochefort,
for then Republicanism would be in as
great danger as from monarchy. Another
course has been pursued, and for this all
true friends of free institutions should be
grateful. President Grevy is eminentlya
moderate man, and to have moderate
men at the helm is the great need of
France. Throughout all the Departments
there has been a very considerable re-
action in favor of the church and mon
archy, and this reaction has been ad-
mirahly portrayed by Mr.. w. III.
Hurlburt in recent number of the Nine
teenth Century. There have been many
causes for this, and one of the most un-
wise measures adopted by the Re-
public of late years was the
expulsion of the Orleans Princes
from the army and France The
suppression of the various religious orders
in 1SS0-S1 was very dangerous expert |
ment, but it was accomplished with far |
less disturbance of the public tranquility |
than was anticipated. French political |
parties may be divided into two camps
Clericals and anti-Clericals. To the one /
or the other of these camps belong all
shades of political opinion.
1t was 4 most doubtful question
whether M. Grevy would be reelected,
for during his Administration France un-
dertook two disastrous expeditions; that
OF Tunis and that of Tonquin. These ex-
peditions We're to his Administration
what the Soudan expedition was to
the Gladstone Government, but as
England did not desert Mr.. Glad
stone on account of the Soudan affair, Il
neither did France desert NJ. Grevy on
account of Tunis and Tonquin. less
conservative man than NJ. Grevv would
be liable to involve France in dispute
with Germany, for even now the Father
land is much excited over a recent tspeech
of Clemenceau in which he said that the

chow Grant marched against Mark

Twain"
The New York Sun calls attention to the
curious fact that Mark Twain's article, in
the December Century, entitled, "The Pri-
vate History of Campaign that Failed is,
by an odd coincidence, contemporaneous
supplement to chapter Is in the first volume.
Just printed of General Grants memoirs.
1t appears that the only time that General
Grant was really scared was when he had to
meet the little army In which his future pub
Usher was private. At Palmyra, Grant,
then colonel, was ordered to move against
Col. Thomas Harris, who was said to be en-
camped at the little town of Florida, some
twenty-five miles away. In his memoirs
General Grant tells how his heart kept get
ting higher and higher as he approached the
enemy until he felt it in his throat, but
when he reached point where he expected
to see them and found they had fed, his
heart resumed its place. Mark Twain was
one of the "enemy," and that he and his
fellow-soldiers were equally frightened ap-
pears In his frank confession in the Decem-
Der Century. The difference between the
two soldiers was that Mark Twain was
thrown into such trepidation that he then
and there abandoned forever the profession
of arms whereas General Grant made on
that occasion the discovery that the enemy
were as much afraid of him as he had been
of them. ''This," says General Grant, "was
a view of the question had never taken be-
fore, but it was one never forgot afterward.
From that event to the close of the war,
never experienced trepidation upon con-
fronting an enemy, though / always felt
more or less anxiety
