How Far the "Story of the Life of
Colfax" has Progressed.

Ex- Collector Hollister, who returned
from a long visit east on Thursday
night, was met by HERALD reporter.
yesterday, and asked for some particu-
lars concerning the work he is now en-
gagged upon, the Life of Schuyler Col
fax" He replied that there was little
to be said except that he had been put
ting in eleven hours day for most of
the time since he had been gone, at the
home of Mr.. Colfax's widow, in South
Bend; the lady felt the death of her
husband very keenly but the presence
of Mrs. HOLSTER, who is sister to Mr..
Colfax, had helped to assuage her grief.

Asked as to the character of the book,
Mr.. HOLSTER said it would be simply
story of Colfax's life. neither statistical
nor critical in style; he had not gotten
so far along as having his publisher Sc
cured as yet, as he had to complete his
manuscript first; he should make, he
thought, book which would sell for
about 50. Some idea of how busily Mr..
Hollister has been employed, may be

THE rRRRIroRY COMMENTED.

The members of the plumber ring who
have been and are trying to get theil
fingers and whole hands into the Terri
torial treasury, are forever bowling be
cause the Territory does notiappropri-
ate for the maintenance of the Peniten.
tiary and its convicts. The lawmakers
probably understand their business
gu te as well as do these fellows who
are so anxious to handle some of the
public money. 1t was this same ring
which in luced Congress to take the
Penitentiary, as well as the business of
administering the criminal laws from
the hands of the people; the trick was
played so cunningly that it acted as a
boomerang, flying back on Congress and
bringing no relief to the spectators.
Government having taken charge of
the pen" as well as assumed to run"
the courts, the people quietly submit
and humbly watch the circus. The
government and the ring wanted to
dance, and the Territory concluded that
those who tripped the light fantastic
should pay for the fiddling. The result
has been that for ten years the govern
ment has had the Penitentiary and the
courts, and has enjoyed the luxury of
paying for both. At first the threat
was made that if the Legislature did not
appropriate to these Institutions the
per diem of the members would be with
held; the lawmakers were equal to the |
occasien-they went without their pay, |
and the government mob of hungry Off |
Gals got no money from the Territorial |
treasury. Since then the nations book
keepers have contented themselves with
keeping accounts with Utah annually
charging the Territory with the money |
that it costs to maintain the Territorial |
prisoners. The account is being out |
iawed as the days run, and might as
well be carried to profit and loss"
Congress and the courts can do many
things, but they cannot compel Legis-
iatureto appropriate money for any pur-
poseSnor can they get money out of a
Territorial treasury without an appro-
priation. While the government denies to
the people the right to spend their own
money in their own way and under their
own supervision, the people will simply
refuse to spend their money, and if the
nation doesn'tIike tilt can take its salts
faction in bookkeeping and charging
whatever it feels disposed to against the
Territory, while the hungry chaps
who thought they were going to get
their fingers into the Territorial trea-
sury pie will have to chew their dlsap-
pointment instead. As the government
has refused 10 let the Territory own
penitentiary, or to deal with her crimi-
mails the Territory very properly de-
clines to support the nations peniten-
tiary, or pay the expenses of controlling
conyicts.
Now go on with your squealing.

Carving Out a New State.

Politically the Administration is iusti-
fed in seeking to set up a new State of the
Union. Since Oregon was admitted, in
1859. no new admission to the con-
federacy has brought with it aid or
strength to the Democratic party. On
the other hand, under Republican
supremacy, no less than four Republican
States have been admitted, with vet an
other Territory clamoring at the gates
Kansas came in on the abolition idea af-
ter the seeding Southern members in
Congress had by their withdrawal made
the scheme possible. Nebraska soon fol-
lowed. Nevada was avowedly admitted
as a political necessity-thoEoh she had
but a moiety of population-in order to
secure two-thirds majority of States for
the abolition of slavery. Colorado was
squeezed in by a disreputable trick, in
which it is feared both parties were en-
gagged, but in which it is certain one
party lost. Utah is the only qualified
Territory whose admission might be sun
posed to benefit the Democratic party in
Its influence, but unfortunately. owing to
Its local attitude against wholesome laws
OF morality, no party can afford to admit
Utah, and she must remain Territory.
New Mexico is arid, worthless as region,
and filled with people who yet worship
the Montezumas and erect little affairs to
Juarez and Diaz. We have had enough
OF endeayoring to assimilate "greasers"
In California, and New Mexico must stay
where she is for the present The one
hope OF carving out new State lies in
that belt of ground lying between Texas
on the south, Kansas ON the north and
Arkansas and Missouri on the west. In
this way is the political supremacy of the
Northwest to be met and the coming tide
of immigration accommodated. --Chicago

The Last of the Denver Games.

The Denvers and Salt Lakers PLAYED
the last game of the series Saturday
afternoon. The ground was in terribly
muddy condition, although the manage
ment spread tan bark over it before the
game came off. A comparatively small
crowd was present on account of the in
clement weather and other attractions.
Martin pitched for the Denvers and
West for the home nine. All sorts of
playing was done by the two clubs, and
the straight balls were batted easily, as it
was almost impossible for anyone to pitch
a curve with the ball so wet and muddy.
The game was not finished to the ninth
inning, and stood % to s in favor of the
Denvers, when the Salt Lakers refused to
go the bat, and the crowd left the grounds.
The Denver boys extend a card of
thanks to Messrs. Wagner, Denhalter
and j. d. Spencer for ccurtesies extended
them, and took yesterday mornings D.
q K. g. express for Denver, where they
meet the st. Joe nine this week in four
games.

Indestructibility of Gold.

Gold may be said to be everlasting, in
destructible. The pure acids have no
effect upon it. Air and water are alike
prohibited from working it's destruction;
while to baser metals they are decay,
to gold they are innoculous. Bury it
tool OF the excavator again brings it to
light, while everything around it, and
originally associated with it has returned
to dust from which it sprang; while the
delicate form which it adorned has be-
come powder SO impalpable as to be in
appreciable; while the strong bone of the
mighty warrior crumbles as you gaze
upon it. while his trusty sword lies mass
of shale rust, the delicate tracery in gold
which adorned it, or the finely wrought
tiars which encircle the lofty brow of the
fair damsel, is there in its pristine beauty,
perfect as when it left the workman's
hands and became the JOY of her fleeing
moments. Yes, days, years, centuries,
have rolled by; mighty empires have
risen and fallen; dynasties that dreamed
their power was to be everlasting have
passed away; armies have marched, con-
4uOiou anu OtCOIuo uefVeloSS W1Cn Qo-
crepit old age; cities teeming with
population and commerce have become
the dwelling places of the owl and the
bat; the very pyramids themselves, raised
in the pride of power, and destined to be
forever, have crumbled. and are crumb-
ling, and yet that thin flament Of gold
has stood unchanged through all these
mighty changes. 1t has withstood tri-
the destroying hand of time :;
it is to-day what it was three thousand
years ago. Surely it is a noble metal
worthy OF all admiration.-Sir Henry
Vivion

SOUTHERN UTAH NOTES.
Picked Up from Beaver, Frisco,
Milford and the Reef.


Frisco is one of the most orderly towns
on the coast. 1t has no night watchman
and no police business.
Ben. R. Stevenson, of Salt Lake City,
arrived in Silver Reef last Sunday. He
will begin at once to yield the birch and
teach the young idea how to sprout, in
the Silver Reef district school.
A force of men are employed in taking
out the old machinery at the Leeds mill,
Silver Reef, to make room for the new
Teaching works which will occupy the
building. Work Will be pushed and the
new plant put in operation at as early
day as possible.
w. RI. Burnison, of the Southern Utah
Times, and John Kemple have secured
lease on the new bonanza, the north
extension of the Barbee & Walker. Will
says that whole country is one vast mass
of ore. At Leeds, houses, barns, corrals
and pavements are made of ore and he
believes that the Reef region will be the
biggest mining camp on the Coast.
The belts, pulleys, etc., are now in
order at the Campbell reduction works at
Milford, and it is understood that regu-
lar run will be begun tomorrow. The
machinery is said to be in good running
order and powerful Knowles pump will
furnish an inexhaustible supply for the
concentrating tables and teaching watts.

streets of Beaver, alone, the other even.
ing, when he ran across Bob Burke, whom
he had accused Of being jack Mormon.
A few words were exchanged, and then
came blows that brought claret from the
Judges nose and put his eyes in mourn
ing. The citizens of Milford are very
wroth at this gross indignity and threaten
to keep their legal luminary at home in
the future, or at least keep him out of the
hands of the Beaver barbarians.
The Southern Utah Times reports that
last week party of equestrians COM
posed of Silver Reef miners out on
pleasure trip, rode their horses on q
gallop into the quiet town Of Toquerville.
The saints of the place, who had been
expecting a visit from q. S. marshals for
some time past, were filled with the Wild
est confusion, thinking that their time
had at last come. Some hid in outhouses
and hay stacks, some without other gar
ments than their endowments ran out |
into the fields and orchards, while others
snatched up their firearms and made for
the hills. The miners, during this time,
were ignorant of the excitement they had
caused, and were sorely perplexed on
being refused admission to houses where
they had heretofore found the latch-string
on the outside, and where they were ac-
customed to imbibe the peace-destroying
Dixie wine. When the boys visit Toquer-
vile again they will send an advance
courier to notify the inhabitants of their
good Intentions

DIpHTHERIrs TERRIBLE WORK.
Four Deaths i'm an Eighth ward
FamfIy-NIorc Cases Through
out the Cify-Sad Need of q
Quarantine Hospital.

Miss Sarah Morris, the last of nine
children of Mr. and Mrs George Morris,
of the Eighth Ward, died of diphtheria
this morning at o'clock. after terrible
struggle with death for several days.
Only last week this heartbroken family
buried three little ones, and the distracted
mother nearly lost her reason; yesterday
she and sister living in the family were
both taken down with fever and sore
throats
Mrs. Morris seems utterly unconsolable
over her Affections, and says she no
longer cares to live since her nine child
rem have been taken away from her. The
poor woman tore her hair while in such
great agony of mind, and to-day she lies
PROSTATE with grief. Mr.. Morris stood
by the side of his daughters
bed all night, while the struggling girl
gasped for breath as though each effort
was to be her last. AT about 2 O'Clock
this morning the young lady, in extreme
suffering, jumped straight UP in bed and
fought for life as only strangling person
can do, and being of strong mind and
OOuy, OutuNCu lllc dilOUt6u IlluG gwen
such cases. She was under poor treat
ment, from no doctor, and the attempts
to combat the disease proved utterly use
less.
On Saturday last Magnus Olsen, of the
Eleventh ward, lost four-year-old boy,
and has two others down with the disease.
On Fourth South street, near First
West, in the Sixth ward, there are two
critical cases of the scourge.
Since the first case of diphtheria in
Salt Lake this season, the DEMOCRAT
called attention to the emphatic necessity
of the City Council quarantine physician
and every citizen uniting all efforts in
preventing the spread or dissemination of
the terrible disease. Nothing effectual
was done, and dozen articles in a half
and-half morning sheet tabooed the ne
cessity of any stringent precaution being
made. Now that diphtheria has carried
off about sixty lives an acknowledgment
is made by saving it is time to do some
thing.

smooth fakir last Saturday night, which
cost the son OF toll $3.50. 1t happened that
the two unlike characters CHANGED to

until the money was produced on a
