READY-MADE JOURNALISTS.


Some years ago, before the era OF tooth
pick shoes, dime canes and cheap eye
glasses, the novice who sought employ
ment on the large dailies in the Eastern
States, was forced through a series OF
Sprouts" commencing at chasing up
runaways, leaky water mains, rabid dogs,
and sleepypolicemen, on through the maze
OF city work, until he had mastered the
method OF giving the news without giving
his personal opinion thereon. He re-
ceived pay in keeping with the value OF
the services rendered, and in five or six
years, he made good all-round reporter
II he possessed the genuine gift for writ
ing, he had given evidences OF it, which
were quietly noted by the managing edi-
tor, and in good time, when a man was
needed to assist in editorial work, the re-
porter was promoted and another begin
ner took his place, In this manner. out
OF twenty aspirants, one or two fair news
paper men were found, and the profession
was satisfied. Now, however, the East
ern colleges propose to add chair OF
journalism to their long list Of useless
endowments, and turn out layender-tip-
ped, nickle-plated editors by the score,
and give them the affix OF b. j., mean

THE UTAH Bid.

The action or non-action oi Congress
during the present session upon the new
Utah bill may be said to depend almost
absolutely upon Speaker Carlisle, Kan
dali and Morrison, the committee chosen
by the Democratic Caucus TO arrange the
calendar OF the House. II the bill can be
reached there is scarcely the shadow OF
doubt OF its passage. Its friends claim
for it majority OF upwards OF forty votes
and if reached upon the file the
measure will probably be adopted as
reported by the committee, and
with but little or no debate. 1t is posi-
lively known that Speaker Carlisle is
friendly to the bill. 1t is also conceded
that Mr.. Morrison endorses its general
features, and while Mr.. Randalls atti-
tude may be classed as somewhat doubt
ful, he has never manifested such opposi-
ton rs would justify the presumption that
he would interpose any barrier to prevent
the bill from coming squarely before the
House. Under these circumstances
the prospects may be regarded
as favorable for the much-needed and
effectual legislation such as is embodied in
the amended bill. Although some OF its
provisions might, in our opinion, be inn
proved upon, the bill as it was reported
is generally satisfactory. 1t is far in adj
vance OF anything heretofore presented
for the loyal interests OF the Nation and
Territory, and ii placed upon the statutes
will facilitate a long stride in the direc'
ton of political and moral reformation

PROPOSAL TO PAY
THE CONFEDERATE DEBT.

Ever since the close of the war the
Republican scare yell has been that the
national success Of the Democratic party
would result in the payment of the Con-
federate debt. That party has been in
power considerably over year, and
nothing has yet appeared from that side
OF the House, indicating the remotest in
tention OF any representative OF the
Democracy making move in that di-
rection. Not so, however, upon the
Republican side. Judge Fullerton has
created something of n sensation,
especially in his own party, by his advo-
cacy, before the House Committee on
Claims, of the payment OF the Confed-
crate debt. "I am a Republican" he
said, "but | say to you, gentlemen,
that l believe the time will come
when these Confederate bonds will
all be paid The drift OF his
argument was that although the Con-
federate government had become extinct,
the States which composed the so-called
Confederacy were liable for the debt,
but that this liability had been transferred
to the United States Government by the
adoption OF Constitutional amendment
forever prohibiting its payment. BY this
the States lately in rebellion were let out,
but the holders OF the bonds had valid
claim against the Federal Government.
Judge Fullerton is an eminent lawyer and
Republican politician OF New York, and
it must strike the country as a curious
fact that the first distinguished advocate OF
the payment of the rebel debt by the
Federal Government should come from
the Republican party. 1t is perhaps
significant, US well as curious. 1t is not
at all improbable that the Republican
leaders will decide upon this course to
gain strength for their party in the South
in the next Presidential campaign.
The bugbear being no longer available to
inspire terror in the North, it is not un-
likely that they will use it as a genuine
bait to catch suckers in the South.

THAT "SWILL TUB"

1t will be remembered by the readers
OF the DEMOCRAT, that Henry Ward
Beecher recently likened the applications
OF men for office under Democratic rule
to the quarrel OF pigs over a swill tub.
1t now appears that last week the Com
mittee on Commerce heard the testimony
oil two gentlemen named Keppler and
Temple, the former from Port Townsend,
and the latter from Portland, between
which ports Beecher's son ran q steam.
boat last year. From the testimony
given, it appears that Keppler entrusted
some $500 to Captain Beecher, with
which he (Beecher) was to purchase
money orders in Portland and re-
turn them to Keppler. Beecher failed
to return the orders or the money, and
when approached by Keppler, said he
had given the money TO Temple in Port
land and that the orders would be forth
coming next trip. The orders did not
come, and Keppler went to Portland and
TO his astonishment was informed by
Temple that he knew nothing OF the af-
fair whatever. Beecher was present dur
ing the giving OF this testimony and de-
nies the story OF Temple, claiming that
he gave him the money, and believing
him an honorable man, did not exact a
receipt. 1t is therefore a question OF ve-
racity between Temple and Beecher, with
Keppler minus the sum Of $500. The
committee are reporting adversely
OH the nomination of young
Beecher, who is named for Col
lector OF Customs at Puget Sound. The
foregoing simple facts ought to forever
silence the elder Beecher and stop his
bitter partisan attacks on Democrats.
The father even called upon the Presi-
dent and urged him not to withdraw his
sons nomination, knowing the charge
made against him, and shortly afterward
launched his philippe containing the
''swill tub" annex. There is moral in
this story somewhere.

SUDDEN DEATH.


A Texas Veteran Taken Ill on Houston

Yesterday morning gentleman named
Brigham arrived In the city from Nav
asOta and took quarters at the Southern
hotel.
Mr.. Brigham originally came from
Tennessee, and was one of the old time
veterans known and respected by all OF
his old compeers. This morning he was
taken suddenly i'll on Houston street, OPP
posite Mrs. Deaton's boarding-house,
and was invited inside. As he appeared
to be very i'll, Mrs. Deaton kindly asked
him 10 go into a bed room to rest and
medical aid was called. DIR. BarnitZ
WAS sent for, but before he could arrive
there, Mr.. .Brigham's soul had
passed to the unknowable. Mr..
Brigham had long suffered from
heart disease, and as the symptoms Of his
death we're Of the same character, 1t 10
concluded that the deceased died from
that fell disease; therefore no inquest
was held. The remains of the deceased
veteran will be shipped home tonight.
Major Il. +. Teel met the deceased up
on the train, and knowing the history Of
the veteran, they struck up friendly
acquaintance. He had made arrange
ments to take him round the city to-day

death.

Slightly Fooled.

Last evening as a we'll ladened car
was returning to the Springs an excited
individual rushed out OF one Of the by
streets, and cried "hold q minute whilst
spit" The car driver hearing, but not
understanding the cry, put on the
brakes suddenly, and brought the car to
a sudden stand-still, throwing many of
the passengers considerably forward.
All eyes were turned on the caller who
was seen to spit. When he had done so,
he cried out, "I've spit now, you can 60
on" and walked off hurriedly in an op-
posite direction. The driver colored up,
swore internally, looked as IL he could
have annihilated the individual, and
then renewed his weary journey, but
when he meets that fellow he's going TO
pound him II 1t costs him $40 fine to
do 1t.
