FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Ihe farmers OF Wisconsin have secured
the passage of law authorizing the for
nation of farmers Institutes, a very
worthy object, but very poor way
in which to accomplish it. The
farmers of Wisconsin had no more neeG
for a law to authorize them to form insti
tutes than they had for law to author
ize them to raise wheat or fatten cattle.
The less law the better, and especially is
this so in matters of voluntary association
such as farmers institutes.
The object of these Institutes is to
get the farmers together during the win
ter months for the purpose of discuss
ing agricultural matters, and agricul-
tural matters only. To farmers, the
winter months are months of idleness,
more or less, and the formation of these
institutes would relieve the monotony of
winter, and greatly aid the farmers in ev-
cry way. The exchange of ideas upon
all topics relating to agriculture could not
but be beneficial, and such an exchange
would, naturally, lead to the desire to
improve all classes of crops and the OBJ
tanning of better domestic animals. In
these institutes the farmers would dis
cuss the merits of the different crops and
the best manner of raising them. They
would also lead to thorough investiga-
ton of the merits of the different breeds
of domestic animals, how to rear them,
and how to improve them. There
is also the important question
of feeding, how to produce the
best results at the least cost. This ques-
ton has never received any considera-
ton in Utah, and most of our Utah
farmers waste enough feed in winter
time by their method of feeding to keep
more animals than they do.
The farmers of Utah thrive in spite of
their wasteful methods, and were they to
adopt methods of strict economy and
skill what is now ease would in few
years become affluence.
The farmers of Utah should organize
institutes and they would find
themselves greatly benefited thereby.
10 their institutes they should frequently |
invite some one whose knowledge |
ind experience of farming and |
stock raising gives his view weight,
o lecture to them. Occasionally
hese meetings could very proftably be
addressed by some chemist of authority,
md occasionally by skilled veterinary
Very few farmers have any
whatever of veterinary sur
cry and medicine, and yet they are
allied upon almost any day to doctor

emedies employed are but torture with

titutes.

it is the united sentiment of the people of
Utah against the Edmunds law and the
object that it seeks to accomplish, which
makes the Utah question so hard to solve,
and furnishes that moral support to the
men convicted of violating the Edmunds
law which causes them to bear imprison-
ment with fortitude, and to look upon
themselves as heroes and martyrs. With
draw the moral support of the united
sentiment of the people of this Territory
from these same men, and there is not
one in thousand but that would avail
himself of the chance to avoid imprison-
ment by promising obedience to the law
in future. The sentiment of the people
of the United States is as strongly united
in favor of the Edmunds law as the senti-
ment of the people of Utah is united
againstit. This being the case, and neither
party proposing to yield, the Utah question
resolves itself into question of force, and
having resolved itself into question of
force, it is easy to solve the question ac-
cording to the laws of natural philosophy.
Will the laws of natural philosophy teach
us anything but this, that where two
forces of the same nature are opposed to
each other the greater force will overcome
the lesser force?
1t is far better to settle the Utah ques-
ton on some other plan than that of
attrition, but if the people of Utah will
insist in trying this plan and will listen to
no other, well and good; but they must
bear in mind that the laws of the United
States will be enforced in the United
States, and that American institutions as
based upon the monogamic system of the
amily will be preserved, cost what it
may.

CHANGE OF FEDERAL OFFICIALS.

The people of Utah are anxious for a
change OF Federal officials. In this de-
sire we join them to a certain extent.
1t is desirable to retain some of the
present Federal officials, and it is desir-
able that some should be changed. The
people OF Utah desire change because
they are Of the opinion that with a change
OF officers there will be a cessation of
prosecutions under the Edmunds law, or,
at least, far less rigid enforcement of
that law. In this opinion they are mis-
taken. The Edmunds law is a valid law;
law that was enacted for special pur-
pose; law that has to very consider
able extent accomplished that purpose.
But this is not ALL The Edmunds law
was passed by the Congress of the United
States to meet the demands of the people of
the United States, and that people will
anNlously watch all workings of that law.
and will not permit that it remain a dead
letter upon the statute book. If the SEN
tlments of the people OF the United States
were Indifferent to the enforcement of
that law, and likewise Indifferent to the
Utah question, a change of officials might
bring the relief desired by the people of
Utah. The Edmunds law is the legal
expression Of sentiment, and that sem
ument comes from the people of this
government. That law is not merely
the sentiment of one political party; it is
the sentiment of all political parties, ex-
cept the Peoples party of Utah Territory.
1t is this unanimity of all political parties
which is the guaranty for the enforce
ment of the Edmunds law; and this same |
unanlmity precludes all realization of the
hopes INDUCED by the people of Utah. |
This fact cannot be too soon nor too
thoroughly realized by the people of this
Territory.
The people of Utah do not fully realize
ahe force of a united sentiment, although

AMERICAN NOVELISTS.

The Omaha Herald of November 9TH
falls foul of The Nineteenth Century for an
article which recently appeared in that
magazine, and in which American novel
lists were not spoken of in the most COM
plimentary terms. The article referred
to appeared in the October number of
The Nineteenth Century and was entitled
1.-The Novel of Manners and was by the
Rev. Ill. ID. Trail, author of the Life of
Sterne in the English Men of Letters
series edited by John Morley.
The article was a review of the English
novel and spoke but incidentally of James
and Howells, and the criticism upon these
novelists was that they analyzed the mo-
tives of their characters in place of so
presenting their characters that the reader
should analyze the motives himself. The
theory of presenting character was con-
demned In these two novelists, and not
the manner in which they develop their
theory.
There are two ways in which to present
a character, either synthetically or an
alytically. In the one case the motive
OF action is discovered from the action
and the circumstances surrounding the
actor This is the synthetic method. In
the other case every motive is presented,
every thought is given, and knowing the
state of mind of the character drawn, the
action is inferred. In novels constructed
after either plan there is more or less of
each method employed, although the
novel will be classified according to the
preponderance of either method.
The novels of Richardson are par e.ccel-
lence constructed upon the synthetic
plan, and were they less long than they
are it would be impossible to Judge of the |
motives OF the actors. Richardson has |
been termed the father of the modern !
English novel, and vet this century has
not seen novelist employ his method of
drawing characters. His method was
the epistolary method. 1t was also the
method of Fanny Burney, but never of
Fielding or Smollett. The Rev. Trail
praises Richardson, but condemns Fanny
Burney in unmeasured terms. Richard
sons fame rests chiefly upon Clarissa
Harlowe, novel in which the interest
does not flag once throughout the entire
eight volumes. But Richardson's Sir
Charles Grandson is almost as famous
as Clarissa Harlowe, and yet it
is an exceedingly dull novel.
Sir Charles is the hero, and upon him
concentrates most of the interest, al
though there is lively solicitude for
Harriet Byron and the Lady Clementina.
And yet Sir Charles is the very personifi-
cation of conceit and pomposity, and is
altogether too good for this world; and of /
this fact he is ever aware. Evelina is ,
more interesting than Sir
Charles Grandson, and so high an an I

ALFALEs YOUNG. EDITOR
A PROPER SENTENCE.

The papers of the Peoples party il
Utah hold Chief Justice Hays, of Idaho
up to derision and scorn. In this busi
ness the Ogden Herald takes the palm
From description of Judge Hays in the
Herald of yesterday one would imagine
him to be fiend incarnate, the embodi
ment of all that is vile and hypocritical
and he is all this merely because he does
not construe the laws in accordance with
the wishes of the Herald.
The great crime of Judge Hays is that
he rigidiy enforces the Edmunds law,
and allows no guilty man to escape. But
it might be supposed, from the TRADES
against Judge Hays, that he was only
severe upon those who violate the Ed
munds law, and connived at the escape of
those criminals who violate other laws
than the Edmunds law. Such is not the
case, though.
AS all know, Idaho has been infested
with gang of horse thieves for years
past. These thieves have been the ter
ror of stocbmen, and all efforts to bring
them to justice have proved futile. Very
recently couple of them were caught,
tried and found guilty. This of itself was
something new, but that which follows is
newer e. Judge Hays sentenced one
of thel twenty years imprisonment,
and the other to twenty-five years inn
prisonment. The probabilities are that
the prs of the Peoples party will never
mention such a thing, but leave their
reader With the impression that Judge
Hays only places the heavy penalty of
the law upon those who have violated the
EdmunGs law.
When laws IRE broken, the ends of JUS
tice are far m ore often accomplished by

do not appreciate leniency in the proper
light. They look upon leniency as some
thing gained by eajo.sry and a successful
assumption OF contrite look. They
look upon the Law rs their enemy, to be
beaten in any way possible. But far
more pernicicus than the leniency of the
Court is the exercise of the pardoning
power. This power should always exist,
but it should rarely be used. 1t is a
power in an Executive much like the war
power of the State, and should be used
as rarely. The exercise OF the pardoning
power leads criminals to think that
the sentence of the law can be
thwarted if they can but command suf-
ficient influence; and there are very few
criminals who cannot command influence
enough to get up a petition stating how
good they always have been and how
sorry they now are

Frank H. Mason, United States con.

the prevention and treatment OF cholera.
Ills conclusions are derived from tho

duCing lOthargy or indigestion, drink.
Ing any liquid so as TO check tho process
of digestion, eating raw vegetables in
the form OF salads, and, in general, tho
use Of raw fruits, unless perfectly fresh
and ripe. drinking cold water, or beer,
after having eaten raw fruit Is a direct
challenge 10 cholera, which no person,
however strong and healthy, can a.Iord
to risk. The susceptibility Of drank.
ards to CholOraic influences is proved
by abundant evidences, among which
may DO cited the sweeping fatality Of
