1t is all nonsense to scold about the old boy
who wants his whisky or beer on the Fourth of
July. The Fourth of July is the day for those
stimulants, that make it possible for that old
boy to rah for liberty, the same as the fire.
cracker does for the small one We know there
is State ordinance against the places where
those stimulants are sold being open on the
Fourth of July; but we like our police commits
sioners, who instruct the police to not modest
those places, if only their back doors are open.
So those stimulants would be not only permissi-
BILE. but under the protection of the authorities,
and would enable their devoteeS to raise steam
high enough in the old BIRDS whistle to screech
out, In never ending strains, co Hail Column
bia.' One of the things that are not possible, is
to have a Fourth of July without whisky, just
as we had it when we were boy, sixty years
ago. and before such fanatical prohibs as Dr.
Brown, u. L. See, and, later, chimed in, parrot
like, by Captain Ritter, began their nonsense
against liberty and right. Whenever come
to have Fourth of July without those old-fash-
toned Accomplishments, then it will be time to
fence IN the American Republic. In the mean
time, here is to the Fourth of July the patriotic
old boy and whisky, small boy and firecracker-
a glorious combination, despite the old-man NOR
alist who never felt his heart thump with patri-
otto emotion for the "day we celebrate" nor
sung TO The Star-spangled Banner; Long may
it wave DER the land Of the free and the home of
the brave lhic) Long may they wave.

The company had profit and loss balance

the operations of the year ended June 80, 1885,
as shown above, to $74, OPT.
These figures indicate that. up to the begin
ming of the fiscal year ended June 80, 1885, the
road was not running with great degree of
profit. We have not the figures of operation for
the year named. as it has just closed but we
have compiled from the weekly statements
OF gross earnings the approximate fig
ures, which, for fifty one weeks,
are $2,40S,744 Estimating the last week
of June at $50, 900, we have approximate gross
earnings for the fiscal year ended June 30 1885,
of So. 1853. 744, $ll9, l9l less than the fiscal year

Grating cost has decreased this year, say to 70

or So sos more than in 1884, which would in :
dictate deficit of 1929, 359. Under the most
favorable figuring, it thus appears that the road
is in need of reorganization apart from the ex

the intimation that the l., B. & W., aside from

A Question of Law.

Edward Brain, one of the parties now
serving sentence for unlawful cohabita-
ton, has been made the defendant in a
suit involving some Sill 400. The action
is brought in the Third District Court by
several members Of the Rand family,
who claim that Brain unlawfully took
possession of some real estate near the
old site of Butcherville, in the eastern
part of the city, belonging in part to the
estate OF Joseph Rand, deceased, the father
of the compliments 1t is also alleged
that the defendant has taken from the
disputed premises large quantities of
clay, from which he is said to have re-
allied considerable amount; and that
he has also removed the former house
and in other ways damaged the property.
1t is understood that the property in
question was purchased by Brain from
the Rand estate, and good and secure
title obtained, but that when the sale
took place the precaution was not taken
to get the signatures of all the heirs to
the estate attached to the deed, and it is
held on this technically that the deed is
invalid. Those of the heirs who approved
and were cognizant of the sale appear as
co-defendants, as does also the Zion's
Savings Bank, who hold a mortgage on
the property. The case will receive an
early ventilation in the courts, and the
question as to whether it is necessary for
Ill the heirs of an estate to approve of the
sale of property under administration will
tut an important figure in the result. 1t
S understood that this is the only aues-
ion involved, as the deed was executed
~ the administration according to due
process of law.

HARRISON COMES INTO COURT.
His Attorney Makes Another Effort
for His Discharge, But He Is
Held Till Tuesday.

Harrison was this morning brought
from the penitentiary by one of Marshal
Ireland's deputies, and spent sometime
closeted with his attorney, Arthur Brown,
in Commissioner McKay's court, while
awaiting the arrival OF the prosecuting
attorney. 1t was learned that Detective
Warner and his associate, who were ex-
pected here last night, would not arrive
till this evening, Marshal Ireland having
received telegram to that effect, dated
at Green River, and Mr.. Varian, for the
people, requested that the case be con-
tinued over till Monday.
Harrison's attorney would be unable to
be present, he said, on Monday, and he
reiterated his former arguments for dis
charge of the prisoner, claiming that
there was nothing in our statutes making
extradition applicable in cases of larceny
or embezzlement. The Commissioner,
however, thought differently, and APP
pointed Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
for the hearing.
Harrison was conducted back to his
gloomy confinement, prior to which.
however, he was permitted to spend
few dollars in luxuries. He appeared
well braced up and wore as serene an
expression as though the parties now en-
route to convict him were some dear
relatives.

Mr.. Dickson Will Return.

The departure of w. III. Dickson for
San Francisco last Monday has given
place to some idle talk involving the
probability of the gentlemen having re-
sumed his residence on the Coast with
the intention of remaining there perma-
nently. Of course this is taken as tacit
admission of his disinclination to recon-
slider the matter of his resignation, and
already some have expressed regret or
qualification, as the case might be, at his
going. The fact was learned from Com
missioner Mckay this morning that the
distinguished attorney will leave San
Francisco next Monday on his return to
Salt Lake; and while it is still impossible
to ascertain anything definite as to the
object OF his hurried trip, it will be taken
by many as an evidence of the gentle
mans intention to relocate here, pre-
Stunning that his run down to San Fran
cisco this week was to arrange things to
that end. 1t will not be matter of much
surprise if, on his return, he announces
that the duties of Prosecuting Attorney
will be resumed by him and his resigna-
ton withdrawn.

OthellO,s Defamation

The editor of the Ogden Herald writes
as follows in his paper of last night:
After a sojourn in Salt Lake City more
particularly in the interest of the bust
ness department of this paper, which we
have felt a particular desire to build up,
lnasmuch as we hoped by so doing we
might the more effectually aid our friends.
1t is, however, best to confine
ones self to one special branch of service
and never let ones anxiety to be more
serviceable spread his energy over too
much ground, so that his friendly critics
can attack his forces and defeat them in
detail"
E Yes, it is best that the editor in ques-
ton confne himselft to one special branch,
say the south branch of the Weber
County Jail for one year.

To.Day,s Fire

The fire bell which for some weeks past
has been as silent as death, sent forth its
noisy peals this morning between 10 and
IL O'Clock, and those who followed the
prompt procession of the fire brigade
were led in the direction of the Seventh
ward. 1t proved to be the residence of
Mr.. James B. Glass that had taken fire,
in the interior OF the house, and the par
tition dividing the bedrooms of Mr.. A. T.
Glass and his mother was found to have
progressed into a good-sized blaze,
as a result of defective hue-the old
story. The fremen were on the spot in
all possible haste, and did some very sat
isfactory work, and were not long in
squelching the flames. The interior of
both rooms is pretty badly damaged, as
IS also large quantity OF clothing and
considerable furniture. Mr.. Glass was
unable to estimate his loss, but did not
regard it as at all heavy, and expressed
the utmost satisfaction with the labors of
the fire briga lie.
