No Pap.Suckers in Missour;.

A distant contemporary: the Salt Lake
DEMOCRAT, expresses the calm belief that
Senator Cockrell will ride rough-shod
over the pap-suckers. As our friend, the
Major, would say: cha are you therel''
We're are all friends and brother Demo-
Gratis in Missouri, and we have no pap
suckers. That is to say, we don't call
them that. We have a better phrase
which Jim Proctor taught us. 1t is "the
grand old doctrine of rotation in office. -

What They'll Never. Never Do.

When delivering his decision on the de-
murrer in libel case to-day, Judge
Powers dwelt at length upon the charac-
ter OF scandalous articles recently pub
lished by some OF the papers of Utah, and
added wish that the entire press of the
Territory would change its style. In
stead of the violent, partisan publica-
tons of the day, he hoped for calm dis
cussions of public questions. 1t the
present fiery and infammatory character
of journalism is continued, it would lead
to great harm to Utah and finally cause
the public to distrust the newspapers of
the Territory. His remarks were quite
extended and showed great earnestness
on the Judges part.-Ogden Meas.

THE GRAND JURY'S WORK.
Synopsis of the Inquisitors' La.
bOrs During the September Term.

The report of the September term sub
mitted to Hon. Chas S. Zane by the re-
firing Grand Jury last Saturday, shows
an immense amount of work performed
by that energetic body since the 14th of
| last September Seventy-nine cases I'M
der the United States laws were investi-
gated and indictments found in sixty
eight Of them. Seven cases were ignored
and five were left unfinished, in anticipa-
ton of further evidence.
Under the Territorial laws sixty-one
cases were investigated, in forty-two of
which indictments were found. Four
teen were ignored and four were left un-
finished, awaiting further evidence.
During the above investigations over
$50 witnesses were examined, great
many of whom were opposed to giving
evidence and were thought to perjure
themselves before the Grand Jury.
Nuisances about the city were in
spected and referred to Marshal Phillips,
who stated that he intended to commence
cleaning up the city.
The city Jail was found to be neat and
clean. The county jail, in the basement
of the county court house, was found to
be foul and unhealthy, and entirely un-
fit for the confinement of prisoners. The
houses of ill-fame were thoroughly in
vestigated, and the Justice of the Police
Court, the City Marshal, the entire police
force and other persons summoned were
unable to furnish evidence suf-
fcient to indict. Indictments were
found against Mrs. Fields and Fanny
Davenport for keeping houses of ill-fame,
and Marshal Phillips said he would see
that evidence sufficient to indict the
keepers of the other houses was furnished
the Grand Jury for the next term, if de-
sired. In reference to the pressing of
L. and L. prosecutions by Justice
Speirs, the Grand Jury thought |
it but revenge and malice, as no good |
could result Thereby, so long as the cases
were barred from the District Court, and,
that such proceedings on the part of the
lower Court should cease and no longer |
be permitted to masquerade under the
form OF law.
The Grand Jury referred to the sour
rilous abuse INDUCED in by certain of |
the newspapers of the city opposed to
the enforcement of the laws, which
should ever after be lesson to the
organs alluded to.

ACTIVITY IN BIG COTTONWOOD.
More Men For the Silver Mountain
Idle Miners I'm Utah.

The foreman OF the Silver Mountain
mine in Big Cottonwood, sent word to
Bamberger Bros. yesterday that the mine
was making an excellent showing, and
four more men were wanted Immediately
to push the work actively. Accordingly
an outfit OF blankets and general supplies
were piled out on the sidewalk in front of
the store this morning, and the four Sc
lected men were prepared to travel The
sight of miners outfit to be used this
time of the year, attracted an army of
o]d-time wielders of the pick in search of
winters job. Just now there are atleast
500 idle miners and day laborers to be
seen on the streets of Salt Lake and about
the court rooms, out of employment.
Butte City, Montana, is said to now
contain one thousand idle miners in
search of employment, and quite a few of
them are unluckily. coming to Utah,
where large floating population already
exists. inst what this large force of idle
men is going to do between now and the
opening of the mines in the spring is
somewhat of serious question.

At IL O'Clock this morning the Decem-
Der term of the Third Judicial District

clared in session. The Court ordered an
open venire for twenty names for Grand
Jury for the term, returnable tomorrow

When n Whale Is Struck.
detroit Free Press.l

Immediately upon a whale being har-
pooned, he sounds, that is, goes under
water at lightning speed, as does also
the line TO which he is attached, making
it necessary to throw water upon it to
prevent it from taking fire from the
friction. 1t has been claimed that
whales can run Mt a speed Of a mile o
minute. They cannot remain long be-
low, but must come up to breathe.
When a whale is struck, the boat
steerer is relieved by the header, and he
mans the steering until the whale turns
no; when a whale dies his belly turns
uppermost. Then the boats are all
fastened together, the sails hoisted and
then commences n long, tedious pull.
You might think they would lay to and
let the ship CONF up. The ship does
come up as fast as it can, but 1t has to
beat up, for whales invariably run 10
windward and oftentimes a boat is miles
away from the ship when a prize is cap
tured. Not frequently darkness over
takes them a long way from their berths.

Speaking of women, there lives in
East Nottingham, a few miles over
Mason and Dixon's line, in Pennsyl-
yania, an old lady who possesses n
bright memory, despite her W years OF
age. Her name is Mrs. Amelia Fulton.
She was born near Rising sun, Cecil
county, Nd, in 1883, and has lived
through the administrations Of all the
presidents, from Washington down. A
visitor found her in a chatty mood re-

When | was young all travelling was
done in sail boats and stages. To go to
Baltimore by water over seventy years
since we went to Port Deposit, which
at time was composed OF only two build
ings. John Creswell kept tavern in one,
and John Reynolds a store in the other.
The commander Of the sail boat was
Capt. Gilmore, who was a kind, clever
gentleman and always looked after the
comfort OF his passengers. The boat
was not very large and had but one
apartment, and each person had to take
their provisions with them. | recollect
on one trip the wind was contrary, and
we spent two days and two nights on
the water before Baltimore was reached.

Many years ago, Charlestown, not far
from North East, was a place Of i'm
portance. The mail was carried from
there TO kissing Sun, and the carrier
charged 20 cents for each letter he de-
livered at the latter place. Then hardly
one family in ten would get Il news

sidered a big event. Zach spring and

ribbons, shaHls and other things.

ings we did not sit down and wait for
beaux to come and take us sleighing, as
the girls do nowadays, We placed
three large spinning wheels in a row,
and we would sit and spin by the light
of pine knots. When the beaux came
we would get up and give them chairs,
