skim over them from year 70 year,
erking out just enough topay for rent
and supplies, often times, not that.
Lands, by this process, have not only
not produced what they should have
done, but have been worn out fOT'want
Of rotation, or diversity, Of crops
Gambling in cotton futures has had
a demorallzlng effect upon the cotton
planter. Sharpers have fattened on
the farmers labor, and in their gilded
exchanges and carpeted Offices have
dictated, and are now debating, what
the price of the staple shall be six and
twelve months hence, and that too be-
fore a seed for this years crop has
been put in the ground. There must
be an end to this outrage upon honest
toll, and our farmers, who have the
remedy in their hands, cannot be too
quick or too soon in putting forth their
efforts to that end.
These two agencies at work are big
with revolutions in this: They demand
departure from the rule that has been
SO long in force, the planning of cotton
to the exclusion Of all other crops.
This is a net that our farmers have got
into and they must get out of it il
they would prosper and live.
Let them plant not more than one
half the usual amount of land in cot.
ton, and make full paintings Of food
and forage crops. Let them produce
as much as possible, those things
that they consume and have
hitherto been obliged to buy at ex-
orbitant prices; let them do this and
at the end Of the year they will end
themselves happier because they are
out Of debt aud because they will have
deceived the SPECTATOR by o%verturning
his representations as to 100000
Of bales for '86, at 81 cents, with only
100000 in sight, and that not to be
had for less than Is cents.
OF course this latter suggestion, in
regard to planting only a half cotton
crop, is adressed to the growers of cot
ton in all the Southern States. 1t
may not be needed now
but we hope that we have
said enough to inspire many with
a determination to diversity their
crops to an extent that the example
and results will encourage more to fall
into line, so that in afew years the all
cotton mania will have died out, and
our Southland bloom, blossom ant
smile under a weight of diversified
crops and the joys of plenty.

MASTER WORKMAN PowDERLY upon
being shown the statement that the
Knights Of Labor o Illinois had form
ed a political party under the auspices
of the order, declared 1t untrue, and
said that If such a thing is attempted
by any district or local or State Assem-
bly, of the Knights of Labor, the char
ter of the body, taking such action
will be recalled. The order cannot be
turned into a political party. While
reform in politics is sought for, it must
not come at the expense Of the Order.
No district, local, or State Assembly OF
the Knights Of Labor has it in Its pow
er to declare itself a political machine
for any purpose.

THE Brooklyn Eagle. is of opinion
that the extent to which Mr.. Ed
munds opposed his view of the Con-
stitution on Tuesday to the Presidents,
he bent flied the latter. He said moth
ing new; he did not strengthen his
former report; he left the partisan
divisions on the subject unchanged;
he in nothing attracted the indepen-
dent thought Of the country to his side;
he increased the public disposition to
adhere to the President for standing
up for his rights and to resent the
usurpations of the Senate. When Mr..
Edmunds contrasted the constitutional
argument of the President with the re-
form rhapsody Of the President, in his
blank verse outgivings on the effect OF
partisanship, the Senator had an analy-
tical advantage; but he made less OF
reasons that would strengthen his
argument and more Of those which
merely lengthen it than a sagacious de.
batter would do. The net result was
to leave the matter about just where il
was.

LATEST DISPATCHES.

Smallpox Discovered on q Train.
CHloMo, January 1.-Two new cases Of
smallpox were discovered yesterday in the
persons of a mother and daughter, passen-
gers on an incoming Pittsburg & Fort
Wayne train. The uncertainties left Queens
town, Ireland, on the steamer ''Spain, and,
arriving in New York, bought transporta-
ton to Joliet, this State The mother. how
ever, was sick before she left New York, and
yesterday morning the train officers discoy-
cred that she was seriously afflicted with
smallpox. She was at that time delirous,
and could neither give her name nor
tel where she was exposed to the disease, as
her daughter, who was also discovered to be
i'll, was only eight years old. and too badly
frightened to be coherent. She was useless
as e source of information, and nothing
could be learned OF their destination but
what their tickets and the marks on their
baggage indicated. They were at once
taken to the hospital, and every precaution
taken to guard others from the contagion,
bat as many of the passengers on the same
train were exposed, it is feared that more
cases will result

The scourge of Diphtheria.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Too much cannot
be said in condemnation of a City Coun-
Gil that would hold their meetings, as our
Council did the other evening, and do
nothing to prevent the spread of terrible
disease Diphtheria is raging throughout
the city, SO much 80, that in any part of
town one can see the yellow flag flying.
but why it is put up no one can tell, I'M
less to keep strangers from the house
where the disease is-surely not to keep
the neighbors out of the house-for in a
great many places the neighbors run in
and out, caring naught for the disease.
AS far as quarantining goes, it is a farce,
for every case that is reported there are
two that are not. In one house in the
Nineteenth ward four children died with
the disease, and the authorities knew
nothing of the cases. 1t is said that
there are thirty cases in the Nine
teenth and Sixteenth wards not re-
ported. The other day in the
Eleventh ward schoolhouse a children's
dance was given, and probably 100 chill
dren were there. Just across the street
the yellow flag was flying, land little suf-
ferer was lying nearly dead. She has
since died !; and no one can tell how many
of the children at that dance suffer like
wise. The promoters Of the dance should
be punished for criminal action.
Among the poor doctor is scarcely
ever called in until death comes. the case
being given to some old woman who
knows as much about diphtheria as a
mule does about rheumatism. Some
thing should be done to prevent the
spread of the terrible disease, for many
mothers are living in dread that their lit
tie ones may be the next victims, and the
fact that they can do but little to keep
them from catching the disease renders
the dread more horrible. Action should
be taken in the matter by the citizens if
the City Council intends to do nothing.
Stir it up. Let Board of Health be APP
pointed, the city cleaned, and the scourge
stopped in its course. G. A. S.

The Horn Silver.

1t is questionable whether in the his
tory of this famous mine there has ever
been as much uncertainty and specula-
ton relative to the condition of the prop
erty and future of the stock as at present
exists. During the past two weeks there
has been about as much selling as buying
among local investors, some parties who
are professedly on the "inside" having
manifested great anxiety to sell at as
low figure as 81, while it will be seen
that within the last few days the stock
has crept up to $40. There is as much
dismay as establishment to some in the
steady climbing of prices as quoted on
the Stock Exchange.

The Burlingt0n's Plan.

The San Francisco Chronicle OF Deem
Der 18th has the following: It was re-
ported on the streets yesterday that the
sole reason for 7. J. Potter's extended
visit to this coast was to make arrange
ments for securing control of terminal ia
cilities for the Burlington in this city.
The Burlington is said to have secured a
buyers option on the property and
franchises Of the California and Nevada,
which has a road running from tide
water, in Oakland, to short distance
beyond San Pablo. 1t is believed that
the Burlington is about to commence the
construction of line from Frisco, the
present terminus of the Utah Central, to
q point on the Southern Pacific, and
eventually to build an independent line
to this city. According to the local au-
thorities, there is railroad race between
the Chicago & Northwestern, the Bur-
lington and the Atchison, in which each
is strain;ng to be the first in securing an
line to San Francisco.

MEDICAL.

This man came to Salt Lake City representing
himself as the son of DR.. E. B. FOoTE OF New
York, the well known specialist, as abundantly
proved by affidayitS. As rumors came into Salt
Lake City from Dakota and Montana from an
expose made there, he changed his base and
represented himself as the son of more noted
specialist in New York City than DR.. E. B.
FoOTE, the well known author. Mr.. JOHN F..
TRow of the well known TrOw's Directory, III
New York City (forty years in the directory
business), Ex-Governor FRANK FULLER, of Utah,
Postmaster in New York City, also Surveyor of
the Port gave their affidavits that there are no
other doctors in New York by the name of FooT
or FooTE, excepting DR.. E. B. FooTE, the author
of Medical Common Sense, etc., and his two
sons, DR.. E. B. FOoTE, Jr., and DR.. HUBERT T.
FooTR. The genuine DR.. FeoTE, Jr., will here
after always employ the initials, E. B., in desig-
mating his name. Heretofore he has been
known not only at home but wherever his pub
locations have been circulated, by the name of
DR.. FOoTE, Jr. Greater care will be taken here.

No Surpius Lead on Hand.

During the week lead has ruled with ex
treme steadiness at all the distributing
points. New York shows sales OF 400
tons at $46) to $40, all domestic COM
mon lead and for January delivery,
while st. Louis and Chicago record as
much more at $4.3S to $40 and $3.50.
The deliveries on all December contracts
are extremely tardy and many-toagued
rumor affirms that January will see con-
siderable lively buying in under the rule
but even without that additional slim
illus the year closes on the strongest stu
alton in lead that we have had at any
time within the past ten years. There
are literally no stocks whatever, East or
West. The Richmond surplus has been
reduced to a bagatelle, and no signs of
any material increased production show
themselves anywhere. Wemay feel con-
fident OF a fairly long period OF prices
close to importation limits, and it would
not be surprising to see those limits NOW
$4.75 in New York; advanced any day,
as all the English circulars admit the alb
sence of any large stocks and the ex-
tremely low price relative to the actual
intrinsic value of lead.

Where the Dollar Goes Furthest.

The approach of the holidays make one
feel as though every dollar should have at
least two hundred cents, for many things
have to be bought. The little ones ex-
pect their presents, go do employees and
servants, and if the pocket is not entirely
drained by that time, friends and other
dear ones have to be remembered. If we
cannot make a dollar worth double its
value, we can at least try to secure as
much for it as can possibly be got, and if
you will for this purpose call at Simon
Bros, establishment, you will leave their
place after having made your purchase
with smile of satisfaction upon your
countenance.
The bargains in Fancy Goods, Ladies
Bags and Satchels, Handkerchiefs, Lace
Goods, Gloves, Jewelry, Wooden Goods
and everything else comprised in the
millinery and fancy goods line, are such as
will induce everyone visiting the place to
purchase something.

New Years Day in Zion.

New Years day was rather quiet in
Salt Lake. The air was crisp and the
most OF people Rugged their own tiresides
lily. Nearly every place of business was
closed, and no life was visible except
about the hotels, billiard parlors, Theatre,
and the occasional hack load of enthused
callers" whirling about the city among
their acquaintance. The plug hats were
resurrected for yesterdays display, and
the gallant brigade did themselves proud
among the host of fair admirers. Moth
ing sensational in the way of a calamity
marred the day, and with the exception
of few enlarged heads and vacant shoes
at several places of bushes, this morning
found everything none the worse but
little better on the commencement of the
new years activity.

Alarming Cases of Eeprosy.

LANSING, Iowa, January at is authori-
tativeiy stated that there exists near the
village of Spring Grove, Hauston county,
Mimi. and near this place, a large number
of cases of leprosy. The afflicted persons
are all Scandihavians The first case which
appeared was upon the person Of an old man,
and was at first thought to be measles, as
red spots appeared all over his body. Later
he was seized with excruciating pains
in his limbs, sand the extremities began to
wither. This continued, and the epidermis
began to scale off, and now there is but
semblance of skin over the body, which
retains its flesh, but the limbs have withered
and dried until the fingers and toes seem
like sticks and readyto drop off. This dis
ease also exists in three other families, all
related. Physicians from DEBORAH say that
it is imported, and perhaps contagious.
