A teacher in a Virginia City
public school, wanted to find out
who put red pepper on the stove,
and gave two boys two dollars apiece
to act as spies on their comrads.
On discovering that the two hired
detectives were the real culprits
he wants his money back. In the
transaction he showed about the
usual acumen of school teacher.
For hiring boys to play the dis
honorable role of spies, he should
be made to resign. Such men
have no business in school.

A WORN OUT PLEA.

Now that the Mormons arc again
being pressed to the wall, they
have come out in the Eastern pa
pers with the statement that they
have made the desert blossom as
the rose" and therefore ought to
be let alone.
As stupid and false as this argu-
ment is, it has been strong enough
to keep the Mormons secure in
their footheld in Utah for nearly
half a century.
This plea seems to have always
had its effect upon the press and
even as an intelligent newspaper
as the Virginia Chronicle puts over
the dispatch about the Mormons
retaining the wilderness, the
headline, Manly Argument of
the Mormons, or words to that
effect.
Now, in reality, they never re-
claimed any desert, but settled
down in one of the finest, and most
fertile vallies in tho West. 1t was
section of country blessed with
every natural advantage of good
soil and unrestricted water facil-
tiles. A crowd that could not make
such place blossom as the rose,
must Of necessity be lazy and
thriftless set of bummers. Yet any
man who will travel up and down
Salt Lake Valley and examine into
the agricultural condition of the
country will be forcibly reminded
of the fact that the "blossoming"
and rose" business is all confined
in the immediate beauty Of the "
ing, hypocritical, theiving priests
Of the church, who made serfs Of
the poor miserable prosolytes they
have brought over from Europe.
Live American farmers with
the same opportunities would have
made a garden of those portions of
the valley which now, under a prim-
tive system of agriculture, produce
rank, tasteless pumpkins, nubbin
corn, only fit for hungry hogs, and
small watery turnips. Some years
ago a Yankee went into the valley,
and tried to improve the grade
of corn raised there, but was de-
nounced by the priests and came
near being laid out by the DANTE
assassins.
If this argument is a good one
then any band Of thugs and law
breakers can 90 out West, plant a
few Vegetables, break all the laws
of the land, and claim ammunity
from prosecution on the ground
that they have made "a desert
blossom. Z"
They had no desert to operate on
and the ground they did operate On
is not now blossoming half as much
as thousands of other sections OF
the country. If the Hormons of
Utah can escape punishment un-
der that plea, then the good people
of Los Angeles county, California,
have right to begin the practice
Of polygamy at once and any other
igamy that they may chose to call
a religion. Normonlsm is getting
some heavy body blows just now,
and these ought to be kept up I'M
til the question is settled. 1t is
idle to temperize with these out
laws any longer. Drive them out
Of the country and let them seek
other fields to blossom in, outside
the boundarie. of the United
States.

THE LADY RAMBLER.

The metropolitan character of our St

questioned, and we have never received the

been accused of crudeness and provinciaiism.

have listened 10 the assertions of our de-
tractors humbly, meekly, endeavOring in the
meantime 10 supply our deficiencies and
gloss over our most giaring faults: now,
with the hanson cab familiar object upon
our streets, and the humaniZing, elevating

more appropriate are the cooking utensils
that appear in such variety. If you wish
to dazzle your friends with your domestic
tastes. it might be well to wear one of those
dainty little saucepans that have handles
three inches in length, and whose bowls
are another inch in diameter and contain
small red objects, presumably beef-steaks,
though beef-steaks and saueepans hardly
seem designed one for the other. But if

llciOus product of modern civilization, the
festive ice cream.
1t is really refreshing to hear these men
discourse upOn the beauty and grace OF
loosely flowing robes, lament the degener-
aey of the modern female with her fond
ness for tight corSets and big bustles, and
sigh for the beautiful. sensible garb of the
Grecian maiden; and then in the same
breath denOunce as unbecoming, immoral

If our matrOns and maidens would devote
little of the time and attention that they
spend in considering what TO wear, to the
contemplation of when to wear it, we might
be spared many of the incongruitieS with
which we are now afflicted. Diamonds
would not then as now dazzle us in the
street cars and blind us TO the difference
between carrots and cucumbers in the mar
ket; lace dresses would not be worn upOn
the street, at any rate, before noon; while
lace paraSOls would not be carried with
dark, tail0T-made suits; opera clOaks would
not be worn as carriage wraps; i'm short, an
era OF good taste would be inaugurated and
we would have new golden age of har-
