Australia or Siam: "a deacon in q Western
town recently died. His pastor soon paid a
visit of coincidence to the bereaved widow.
She asked the minister if he would like to
see the funeral wreath. He sssented. She
led him to the much priced memento, and
pointed out its peculiarities. In a broken
voice she said The red flowers we're made
of his red aannels; the white ones of his
white Hannels. The stamens were made of
the coffin shavin9s. and the pistils of his
beard The berries and buds were made of
the pills that were left when he died, and the
feathery part was made of the feathers of the

Philadelphia Press; 1t must be gall

to read that the republican vote in Ohio
for members in the Legislature is several
thousand larger than that for governor.
Judge Foraker's plurality is 5000. while
the republican Legislative plurality will
be %. 500. It would have been 1000 larg-
err, had not the democratic frauds in Hamil-
ton county swamped the republican vote
there. 1t is another noteworthy fact, also.
that this is the first time the republicans
have elected majority on joint ballot in
the legislature, outside of Hamilton county.
No more striking proof could be given
than this of the thorough sympathy of the
Ohio people with the attitude of Senator
Sherman on the suppressed ballot ques-
ton. Those doughfaces who were sure
that the Senator had destroyed all chance
OF republican victory in Ohio. and had
their mouths all ready to tell just why the
democrats had won. can now chew their
cud in bitterness.

There are signs of further trouble betwe
the Secretary of War and General Sheridan
1t is strange that Sheridan allows himself to
be led into controversy with Judge Endicott
on questions of military science. From the
day that Endicott led the attacking column OF
the Salem Light Guards in the assault upon
the provender at the thirty second annual
clambake at Hyaunis, in the summer of 1882,
down to this time, his standing as a military
expert has never been questioned, except by
two or three people living outside of New

outrage upon the taxpayers. Why do not
the city authorities employ as regular
counsel attorneys OF the same ability and
eminence as the special counsel they
always employ when the city gets into a
tight place? 1.-THE regular city counsel
were not the city counsel, it would never
enter the heads of the city authorities to
employ such attorneys as special counsel.
When the present city attorney was en-
gagged, the City Council found it necessary
to 60 to Ogden to get him, and they did
not go to Ogden to get him because Of
his great superiority over all members of
the Salt Lake bar, either. The city
should employ the best of counsel and
should get the best where it can, but this
it has not done. City affairs are too inn
portant to be intrusted in the hands of
those who are not competent, and the er-
roneous legal opinion of city attorney
may cost the tax payers many thousand
dollars. A city attorney should be among
the ablest members Of his profession, be-
cause upon his judgment and learning de-
pend the rights not Of one or two or three
but the rights of every tax
payer, as taxpayer, in the city limits.
The citizens are entitled to the best legal
ability to be had, but they have not got
it by any means.

CORPORATION COUNSEL.

The cases against various individuals
which the city has brought within few
days for lewd conduct, illustrates very
serious defect in corporation management.
We refer to the matter of counsel. When
the city found that the ordinance under
which these cases were brought was
attacked, and attacked by one of the
strongest legal firms in the city, the city
employed additional counsel to aid the
regular city attorney. In this there is
nothing improper OF itself, for frequently
there may be need to employ assistant
counsel, owing to the amount of work to
be done, and for other very proper
reasons. But none of these reasons
apply to the present case, while the rea-
son for which the city engaged one of the
leading firms OF attorneys is in reality an
outrage upon the citizens. The city
authorities engaged additional counsel
in the present instance because the regu-
lar city attorney was not considered equal
to the occasion. 1t is true that the city
attorney is absent at present. and that
his assistant brought these cases: but
had the regular city attorney been here
would the case have been any different
The present city attorney was not chosen
on account of his eminence at the bar by
any means, but he was chosen to give

was given the place because he (
had to live, and competent attor-
neys were dismissed to give place to
this needy attorney. During the time
this same needy attorney was corporation
counsel, the city paid for the services
OF private counsel more than the salary of
the regular city attorney. Why was this
done? Merely because the corporation
counsel was totally unfit and incompetent
TO do the city's legal business. The same
thing is being done to-day, and if is an

A NEW MARK.

At the cattlemen's convention in ST
Louis, General B. T. Butler, in his annual
address, made one very good suggestion
He suggested that some mechanical con-
trivance should be used to mark cattle in
place of the old branding iron. The huge
branding irons which are now used on
cattle injure the looks of the animals and
tend to destroy the hides. The mark of
the branding iron is not readily discerned
at times, especially when the coat is long,
and requires the range riders to get quite
close to an animal to see what brand
there is upon it. Stockmen prefer
ear marks to brands, for the reason
that they are more prominent, and when
animals are punched in the rounding ND
season each owner can readily select his
own. A mechanical device such as Gen
eral Butler suggested would probably
have the same prominence that ear
marks do. 1t is an important matter to
stockmen, and in all probability will re-
celve the attention the Importance of the
subject demands. Range animals must
be marked in some way, and how TO
mark them so as not to disfgure them
nor injure the hides is the question
Everyone knows how much brand on a
horse detracts from the beauty OF the
animal, and very often from its value.
too. Some of our Utah stockmen should
give the subject their special study and
see Ii they cannot confer boon upon
their class, and save the dumb animal /

THE forcible rescue of Harry Dixon
from a Deputy United States Marshal of
Idaho is serious matter, and the worst
argument in the world that the advocates
OF polygamy could make. Just such
things as that, in the present strained
and excited condition of affairs in Utah,
may lead to rupture and riot that will
not down until the Territory undergoes
civil war. Such things are far more
easily started than stopped: and it is
usually some fool-hardy fellow who starts
them.
