DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE.

1t must strike some OF the readers OF
our Republican cotemporary with aston
ishmont when they read the able report
OF Governor West. By the instruction Of
that partizan sheet they have been led
TO believe that all the destinies OF Utah
hung upon keeping Eli IL. Murray and
other Republican partizans in Office, and
indeed, this rank Republican sheet would
have us believe that the prosperity OF
this great nation depended entirely on
having the Republican party in power /;
but Utah still exists, an era OF prosper
ity has begun all over the land, and
under Democratic Administration
We say, without fear of contradiction
that no fairer or more able state paper
than Governor Vests report ever went
out from this or any other Territory in
this country. 1t says all that ought to be
said, and says it in an admirable manner.
There are some details OF the Tucker
Edmunds bill alluded to by the Governor
which should be carefully digested before
they are enacted into law. We want no
law not in accordance with Democratic
principles, which are in fact, American
principles.
We desire in brief to call attention to
the improvements made in the Postofiice
under Mr.. Browe, the Democrat. Which
think ye bears the highest impress OF
sound business and good taste, the office
AS it now is, or as it was under the Re-
publican postmaster, who preceded Mr.
Browe? Ii you look into the business
management of the Office as it is now
managed and the management under
Republican rule, you will find even
greater change than in the appearance
OF the room, boxes and office.
Examine the marshal's office under Mr..
Dyer-a sound Democrat, and no one
can say that it was ever better manned,
or more efficiently administered. The
same can be said OF the Registers office
under Mr.. Webb, and the Receivers
Office under Mr.. Wallace. The new
Surveyor General has but just entered
upon his work and hence we cannot com
ment on it. Gentlemen who have
imagined all woes to come-and have
echoed the walls of the TriJuns-may
calm their perturbed spirits, The
country is safe in the hands OF Demo.
Gratis, and it is going to remain in their
hands. All the virtue, all the ability
and patriotism OF this Territory and
Nation are not contained in the Republi-
can party

Filthiness of Imported Ra-a

Washington Cor. Cleveland LEADER
Great quantities of rags are shipped to
the United States from all parts of the
world. They are used for making paper,
and are sent from the seaboard to the va
rious paper mills throughout the country.
The annual importation amounts to about
$50, 900 bales. Each bale contains from
400 to / 200 pounds of rags. They are
tightly pressed together, and come into
this country securely bound for shipping
You can have no idea of the sources from
which thess rags are obtained. A large
amount of them come from Japan, and
thousands of bales from Calcutta.
The Calcutta rags are the worst They
are made up in a large part fIom the
wrappings of dead bodies. The bodies of
the dead are thrown into the river, and
when these rags foat ashore, or can be
otherwise gotten, they are shipped here
for the paper trade Sometimes impuri
ties of different kinds creep into the bales.
In one bale not long time ago dead
baby was found, and in other bales other
foul matter has been discovered
The Egyptian rags are largely tainted
with camel's manure; and those gathered
from the cutters and streets of Shanghai
are foul beyond description. A great
amount of rags comes from Japan to u.s.
/ think there are more than 40, 900 bales
now on the way. Some of the rags sent
to this country come from districts in
which infectious diseases are raging, and
1t is a fact worth noticing that all of the
vessels arriving here in which small pox
has broken out have been vessels carrying

10 Recover Lost Property.
New York SUM-


"How is it that Tiffany & Co so often
advertise rewards for the return Of stolen
property" was asked Of member Of the
firm.
1--WE do it for the convenience of our
customers he replied They don't
want to have all kinds Of people running
to their houses They bring description
of the lost or stolen property to US and
authorize US to pay a certain reward. 1t
is impossible to deceive us by the substi-
tuition of paste for real diamonds, and we
cannot be deceived into taking fraudu-
lent article of any kind. When the lost
article Is brought in we examine it to find
if it is all right, and if So we pay the re-
ward without asking a question 1t
this. and have little fear of
detection in dealing with US, although we
never advertise no questions asked We
have offered rewards of from So TO 81 900,
and in nearly every instance we have re-
covered the property. The average re-
ward is one quarter of the intrinsic value
of the property. That Is as much as the
thief or finder could hope to sell 1t for,
and by bringing it to US he avoids the
danger of getting into trouble. If less is
offered, or if the loser waits too long,
lost property. The finder may watch for
a reward for three days, but after that he
considers it 'findings-keepingA If a
thief, he pawns it or melts it up.
Occasionally respectable people find a
valuable article of jewelry, and we adver
tise for the owner, and when he comes we
make him describe the article very care
fully before we surrender it An i'm
mense amount of property is lost every
year in New York, and much of it is
never recovered because the losers do not
make the proper efforts to do so.

The importance of writing distinctly
when writing for publication was recently
illustrated in magazine in London. In
a clergyman's letter from Asia, he meant
to write the "people of Judea, but the
printer made it 1.-The people of India -"
The manuscript was submitted to an ex-
pert chirographist, who decided that the
printer was entirely justified. The clergy
mans "Judea, " as written, had an l in.
stead of J, an instead of u, and it
was impossible to decide whether the next
to the last letter was intended for an or
an i, it being as much like one as the
other.
People who write carelessly and indis-
tinctly, when writing for publication.
have nobody but themselves to blame
when mistakes are made in printing
names of persons or places. The printer
is usually wonderfully expert in decipher
ing bad writing. but he can not perform
miracles AS an experiment. let the
reader hastily write down the words

the latter, and then submit it to com

Dynamite Gunnerv.
Gath in Cincinnati ENQUIRER. I

I'Gath IN OlncInnat1 EnqulreT.I
Col. Gabe Wharton told me few days
ago that he had made an excursion to
Sandy Hook to see some of the guns firing
dynamite against obstacles. He said:
ut is a singular fact that they are dig
ging up the old smooth bore pieces half
buried in the sand. and using them for
this new kind of gunnery. Rifled cannon
will not do TO fire dynamite shells from.
Consequently our old smooth bore pieces
are again in request.
Said l: "Do the officers at Sandy
Hook say they have got this dynamite and
glycerine gunnery down to a perfect
poiEt?"
No, they do not claim that, but they
do claim that they are very much encour
aged; and they think that in little while
to come they will be able to demolish any
sort of thing passing across the bars OF

Testing Railroad Employees.

The work of examining the Panhandle
employees on color blindness is interesting
to an observer. The men are marched
into the armory one at time, and are
first examined on the strength of the eye
sight by reading letters and figures This
is quite difficult. The matter of telling
colors is tested by showing the candidate
a skein of yarn either red, green. or pink.
and then after he has told which it is, he
is told to pick a number of skeins from
bundle of various colorS which will at all
resemble the color first named. To pick
out all the shades that may be found in
the bunch is no small task, and very few
of the candidates pick them all out
There are no very glazing mistakes made
by the boys The hearing is tested as
well as the SIGHT.

Austria's underground Rivers.

The celebrated Karst region in Austria
is remarkable for its underground rivers,
which communicate with the surface here
and there by vertical shafts. These rivers
are sub -ect to periodical overhows, con
verting large areas into temporary lakes.
and an attempt is now to be made to pre-
vent such foundations by charging the

Dynamite Used by Farmers for CleariaR
Their Lands from Distractions.
"The Chicago Socialists have
brought the subject of dynamite PROM
inently before the public again, and
the result is to prejudice people gcner-
ally more than ever against it." re-
marked an official of a leading "Dyna-
mite Company" "But there isn't one
person in hundred" he added, who
knows how useful the material is to
farmers and others for stump blasting
the clearing of stumps from new
land. But landowners are. however.
rapidly learning that the quickest aud
best way to get rid of these old set
tiers is by what we call blasting, that
is the firing of charge of explosive
in the earth underneath the stump.
Two brands are chiefly used for this
purpose. One that is used by railroad
builders and quarrymen and also for
throwing out the largest trees, stumps
and powders, is put up in waterproof
bags, containing Ct and 12l pounds
each. The other brand is packed in
waterproof cartridges of any diameter
from ] of an inch to inches, and all
s inches long"
"Does one blast remove the entire
stump"
Eyes, ifproperly managed. A gen.
tleman in New jersey VINO has had
many stumps removed from his land
in this way writes that the explosion
itself is fine sight, and that one never
tires of it. In his letter he says: there
is that kind of excitement and uncer-
tainty about it that is always attrac-
tive. A heavy, irregular-shaped col
umn of earth is thrown fifty feet
into the air, sending still higher, from
its sides and summit sprays of fine
dust, through which whirling pieces of
roots and stumps are plainly discerni-
bic. Where the stump once stood
there is gaping hole about eight or
ten feet in depth, with broken ends of
roots, like as many scraggy teeth
sticking out of its mouth. These roots
are well loosened up and can be easily
cut away with one blow of the axe. The
surface roots are also drawn out and
scattered. The stump itself is split
into as many fragments as there are
main roots to it. These lie at varying
distances from the hole. The smaller
pieces, weighing from ten to twenty
pounds, and up to fifty pounds or so,
are, at times, blown so far away as
one hundred and fifty feet. while the
larger pieces will be found at closer
quarters, according to their size. The
very large pieces, those weighing sew
eral hundred pounds, are never thrown
very far, II the charge has been kept
within prudent limits.
But isn't this work very danger
ousP"
''Of course man must have clear
head and know what he is about but
with proper precaution there is little to
fear. Guns and gunners must be kept
away from the vicinity. The percus-
sion of shotgun near by or Of rife
or pistol will fire away nitro-glycerinc
powder. Another very important pre-
caution is regarding misfire. l. should
always be asccrtained positively that it
is a misfire. A fuse is sometimes faulty
and may hang fire, consequently the
charge should be left alone for half an
hour before any attempt is made to
put in a fresh printing cartridge

The Newest Partisan Notion on the Sob.
ject of Dress-Skirts.
Stcels are not now put into skirts to
stay. as they used to be. but they can
be taken out and run in at pleasure, for
they are provided with strings or hooks.
by which they can be fastened to the
sides, and so are easily removed when
the dress has to be folded or packed for
travelling.
Skirts are draped in various ways
over plain or plated pctticoats, for in
stance, skirt Of plain vailing is draped
behind and plated on each side, open
ing in front over petticOat embrOid-
cred in silk and beads Another is Of
open work beige tissue, draped up with
passementerie fastenings, over a
plated petticoat in brown silk. A
skirt Of plain blush gray Grape falls in
full double plaits over petticoat of
bayadere striped vailing. The Grape
skirt opens in front to show the petit
coat, which also comes beyond the
edge, and still another skirt is Of WOODEN
guipure, draped over a skirt Of French
MORE.
With such skirts various kinds of
bodices are worn, such as jerseys of
fine silk or wooden tricotine. Then
there are bodices made of open work
wooden material, or wooden lace over a
silk lining in jersey style, without
seams or pinches, and jackets are either
close-titting and double-breasted. or
open in the Figaro style over a plas-
iron or small vest. Very pretty jerseys
are made of silk tricotine, with row
of jet beads between each rib of
the tricOtine. This is to be had not
only in black, but also in bronze. gar
net, navy blue and other cOlors, with
the beads to match.
The newest Partisan notion is to wear
two skirts, one over the other and turn
ing up to show the under one. and just
here it may be Of advantage TO many
ladies to know that the undcrskirts
when of velvet or velveteen can be
utilized for both day and evening pur-
poses. If the dresses are to be worn at
the seaside velvet should not be chosen,
as the all-silk Lyons velvet is not dura-
BILE and should not be exposed to salt
or damp atmospheres. A much SUI
perior fabric for such wear at far less
cost is the Arcadia velveteen, which
has plush pile, with silk velvet luster,
and will outwear either plush or vel.

or rain, and as it comes in rich dark
colors and delicate tones it can be worn

conjunction with canvas. camel s-hair
cloths or silks. with the crepes, gauzes
and tulles used for festival occasions. -

State posses Not least of them is
its favorable geographical position.
More especially, its Latitude. It's
position in this respect gives it a
