THE NEW PROGRAMME.

A few days since the Tribune
 called attention to the fact that
 Taylor and Cannon had issued a
 circular to the leading saints all
 over the Territory counseling them
 to stand firm, and now comes the
 supplimental information that the
 circular is a call, in the parlance
 of the Mining Stock Exchange for
 "more mud" The head of each
 Mormon family is assessed $25,
 ostensibly for means with which
 to complete the Salt Lake temple
 as speedily as possible, but in fact
 for the sineWs of war. Instead of
 remaining on the defensive, they
 propose to carry the war into
 Africa. The saints are told in con-
 nection with the demand for mon-
 ey, and which some of the poor
 families of the Territory are sell ing their last COWS to raise, that be-
 fore the temple is completed, if
 this money is quickly forthcoming,
 Utah shall be ridded of every Gen. tile and apostate in the dominion
 of St. Johns. This is the stuff being preached by the bishops and home missionaries all over the land, while the true inwardness of the business, as reported to us, is that the half million dollars to be thus raised is to be used in Wash ington- First, to drive from the Federal offices in Utah those who | are obnoxious to the Lords an- nointed polygamists and supplant them with men of their own choos- ing. and to then work for the ad- mission of the Territory into the Union as a state. But whether this is accomplished or not, the church Is to make a surrender of polygamy, and on that fact de- mand the desideratum of their hopes-sovereign Statehood. From still another source we hear that polygamy is to be surrendered, with a mental reservation, and that, too, within the next ninety days that the elders are being privately instructed so that when the Octo- Der conference is called to vote on it, all will understand exactly that it is cut and dried business for purpose, to be followed in the com ing Congress with a concerted movement, backed by money, to press into the Union. Even Jus tice Field who was in the city a few days since, could see no ob- lection to the admission of Utah, except her polygamy, and thous- ands of people in the United States are in that very boat. But everybody in this Territory fully realize, what that, as an accom- plished fact means to both saint md sinner-Salt Lake Tribune.

STOCK NOTES.


 the Territory.
 Chicago Tribune: Ten years ago stock cattle in Texas cost $4 per head, now they cost from $15 to SIS per head.
 Grand Junction (CoE) News : Kimball Bros. recently sold forty short-horn steers in Aspen that averaged over 900 pounds. Some of the steers brought over $90.
 Texas Stockman: From reliable source we learn that the cattle loss in the Black Hills country was at least ten per cent. This is account ed for by the deep and lasting snow there.
 Las Animas (Col. Leader: The Jaw compelling railroad companies to keep a book containing the brands of cattle killed along its line, at the county seat of counties went into effect July 1st.
 Chicago Tribune: In the United States the annual consumption of meat is about 120 pounds per capi- ia; in England, 105 pounds; in France, "A pounds, and in Ger many 69 pounds per capita.
 Socorro Bullion: The average cost of marketing cattle, including transportation from points in cen tral and southern New Mexico, and feed, handling and commission in Kansas City, is about $7 per head.
 Santa Fe Review: There are about 1,5O0 head of Texas cattle ouarantined and held about three miles above Fl Paso, and about fourteen miles below the Territo- rial line. They are owned by a MT. Upton who claims to own a range near Carlisle in Grant county. The cattle lock badly.
 Las Animas (Col.) Leader: The New England and Colorado Cattle Company has just been organized with a capital stock of $2O0,OOO. The business will be carried on in Arapahoe county, and the princi- pal office is at Denver. The com pany has one fine ranch in Wyo- ming and another in Montana.
 Texas Stockman A great many stockmen who have learned that range stock raising on a large scale is not so profitable as it has been, show disposition, espec- ially where financially involved, to reduce their possessions in extent and improve them in quality. In other words they are beginning to 'hedge."
 New Mexico Stock Grower Large herds destined for the range of the Aztec Cattle Company, in northern Arizona, are still coming up the Pecos river. They turn west from Fort Sumner, whence they are driven to Albuquerque, and from that point shipped over the Allan tic X Pacific railroad to their des- tination.
 Socorro Bullion: The Secretary of the Wyoming Stock-Grower's Association has recently reported that since its organization in 1873 it has increased from ten members, representing an ownership of 20.- 600 cattle, valued at $350,00O, to membership of 495, in 1885, repre- senting an ownership of 2,000,000 head of cattle, valued at $100,0OO, | 900.
 Kansas City Dispatch: Twenty one cars of cattle from Ash Fork, Arizona, arrived here yesterday over the Atchison, Topeka & Santa | Fe railroad. They are the first lot of a shipment of 1 500 head, and this shipment is the first in that direction from that country. | Hitherto all cattle raised in that section have been sent to San Fran cisco, and although efforts have been made to induce shipments in this direction none have been suc-

The uniform excellence of the practice

likely to add good reserve force which may
be relied upon to support the regulars IN
case of emergency.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that we may
never have occasion to test the efficiency of
our coast defenses by practical trial against
foreign enemy ; but the art of war has
not yet gone out of fashion among civilized
nations, and the best security against such
peril is thorough preparation;

civilian it is simply one of the sights
of the place +; but to the soldier it is a
serious and important matter of edu-
cation, and viewed from the latter,
which is the true standpoint, it is too,
of great national Importance that effic-
lent gunners should be always ready
to man the great and costly batter
les which are the defense of our sea
coast.
The General of the army, in his last
annual report. says OF this school ::
"The education impaired at West
Point always has been and must con-
tinue to be preliminary-that is COM

lated to prepare them tor the work of

could in any degree add to the efficiency Of
this favorite and strong arm of the public
service, and the end has not been yet reach
ed. The fact seems to be that governments
nowadays hesitate to arm largely with the
best existing means lest when the time
should come for their Use they should be
found worthless opposed to still heavier and
more deadly enginery of destruction.
The heavy guns which are used in target
firing are mounted upon an open parapet
which forms a portion of the water battery,
and moving objects of the size of modern
war ship can be held in check or disabled at
a much greater distance than during the
period of ''uur late unpleasantness." These
guns are at the eastern enI of the casemates.
4 detachment of men crew handling one
of these guns varies from six to ten, accord
ing to the ealibre of the gun used. Two
non-commissioned officers are also at each
gun.

cadet may graduate at West Point
and yet not be familiar with the
knowledge indispensable to feed, cloth,
manage, and fight a company or a
regiment, which are ultimate objects
of all Army education and, there
fore, the practical schools at Forts
Monroe and Leavenworth have been
found most advantageous, even for
cadets who have graduated with hon.
er at West Point. The school at Fort
Monroe is special for the artillery,
and is as necessary to the Army as a
separate special training is for SUR
geon, for a lawyer, for an engineer of
ship, or for one who manages q rail-
road train and l am convinced that
by simple instrumentality of this adj
mirably conducted school we now have
secured trained body of artillery of
fcers capable of handling with skill
the most massive and complicated of
modern artillery, and able to continue
the instruction for all time to come. "

WINSTON, n. G. THURSDAY, 18,

The artillery school has been in ac-
tive practice ever since 1928, inter-
rupted only by the Mexican Civil
wars. 1t is at present in charge of Brevet
Brig. Gen'l 1. c. Tidball, 1t. Col. 3rd Artil-
lery. The class is detailed from the officers
of artillery stationed at different points and
continues for two years. Its administration
is entrusted to three field officers of artillery,
who compose the staff of the school. A reg
ular officer acts as instructor in each special
ty undertaken. The course of instruction is
post graduate.
The school has two grand divisions-that
for commissioned officers and that for en-
listed men. The departments are those of
Artillery, Engineering, Military Art, Law,
Applied Sciences, Military Instruction,
Each of these has its subdivisions of special
study, covering the entire field Of all that
has any bearing upon the theory and prac-
tice of modern warfare. 1t is to the irst
that this article especially relates

A Scarcity OF Real Men.
Netr York Letter in Boston Globe.

Mr.. Pulitzer, having raised $50, 900
for the statue of freedom, concluded
to have free examination for cadets
to West Point, as he IS member of
Congress. 1t seems that out Of this
great city just three young men pre-
sented themselves, and two had failed
to pass q previous examination. So
unless we have a general eonscription
here as they do iii Germany there will
be no way whatever to educate our
loafers. Everybody wants to be q
merchants clerk until he can learn
the combination of the safe. If you
advertise for a man to spade up your
back yard, probably an old woman
comes along with spade, the solitary
candidate. But if you advertise for q
graduate of college to keep your
books in German text it would seem
as if tho entire Seventh Regiment was
coming up the street before breakfast
in the morning.

WORKING MEMS CLUBS.
A Good Hint to the knights Of the Din

From Democrats Monthly

A Good Hint to the knights Of tho Din
ner Bucket.
From Democrats Monthly.
The rum-shop has been entitled the
poor mans club. 1t is unfortunately
true that the vast mass of the work
ing-people of this country and Great
Britain spend most of their spare time
and find much of their recreation in
the liquor saloons. 1t is here they
meet their pot companions and discuss
politics and such other topics as inter-
est them in daily life. This is why
the saloon keeper is 80 powerful in the
local politics of the large cities; they,
in fact, control the vote of the labor
ing-men. To counteract this influence
and to wean them away from the rum
shops, working-men's clubs have been
started in England At last accounts
there were over 900 of them with
membership of 100000. The good
work has been under way in this coun-
try for four years, and these organi-
cations have become SO numerous that
the fourth annual congress was held
recently in Boston.
The working-men's clubs and insti-
tutes represented at this congress are
societies composed of working-men as
sociated without regard to trade, occu-
patton, or religious distinction for pur-
poses of social intercourse, mental and
moral improvement, rational recrea-
tion, and mutual helpfulness. They
establish club-rooms, where members
may enjoy social intercourse and pleas
ant companionship free from the infiu-
ences of saloons, to which 80 many re-
sort merely for the want of better
places. Opportunities for instruction
are provided through reading rooms,
circulating libraries, evening classes,
debates, lectures, reading, and the like,
while amusement is furnished in the
shape of chess, checkers, billiards, bow
ling, excursions, amateur theatricals,
concerts, etc. Benefit societies, which
furnish medicines, medical attendance,
and pecuniary assistance in cases of
sickness or death; legal aid societies,
which afford protection from extortion
and oppression, and trade discounts
and coal funds, which provide the sta
Piles of life of good qnality and at re-
duced rates, are organized in the clubs.
Habits of thrift and saving are en-
couraged by the establishment of CO.
operative savings banks, building and
loan associations, ETC., which aid the
working-men to save systematically
and to buy their own homes. Self
help and temperance are the two great
objects of every working-men's club.
The good work should go on and the
benefit of such organizations should
be extended to working-women who
are more in need of organization than
even the working-men. Human beings
will have recreation, and the way to
save members of both sexes from
temptation, vice, and drunkenness, is
to recognize their social wants, and
give them companionship and inno-
cent amusements.
