As To he course of Switzerland. il
seems somewhat peculiar IN view OF the
facts. Governments generally are best
pleased when their people are happy
and NEST prosperous. 1t is true, they
would prefer that the happiness and
prosperity -h"ului exist in their native
Isnds, but when this cannot be. nations
are proud to know that their sons an
daughters are doing well in other
countries. A. good many Swiss have
accepted Mormonism and come to Utah
during the last quarter of a century.
and with remarkably rare exceptions
they are good and industrious citizens;
and this is not all-there is not one in
hfty OF them who is not in every ma
terial sense better off than he was IN
Switzerland; there is not one in fifty
who has not moe OF this worlds goods
than he possessed in his native land.
not one in fifty who is not much
more comfortable here than he was
there, not one in fifty who does not
WORK less aud get more for it than be |
did at home. This is speaking of the
matter in a material way, while IN |
spiri ual sense. the Swiss are certainly |
happier, better satisfied and more con-
tent IN Utah than they were in Switzer-
land. A religion which has done so
much cannot be consistently fought by
. na'ion which loves its subjects am
desires their welfare.
The action OF Switzerland can be &C
counted for in no other way than by the
assumption that there are demsgogues
over there. as here are here. who think !
It is the popular thing TO do. to de-
1ounce the Mormons.

FoR SOME time the King of Bavaria
has given evidences of insanity, and on
the 10th instant a number of ply
sicians examined him and it was
concluded by them and the
ministers of government that his
mental condition was such that he was
incapable of government; whereupon
his uncle, Prince Luitpold. assumed the
Regency, his action beng sustained DIV
the government minister. The King.
when first asked to sign the act
acknowledging the regency, was quite
enraged, but afterwards signed 1t and
took his departure to Berg Castle where
he committed suicide yesterday by
drow;iDg himself. On his death his
brother Otto became king. but as be too
is partially inssne. his uncle Prince will
continue as Reeent-virtually King of
Bavaria. The unfortunate King whose
tragic death casts a gloom over tn
little Kingdom, had been on th
throne twenty-five years, and had won
to himself du:ing that time TIE affec-
tons Of his people.

President CLEVELAND is certainiv one
OF the luckiest fellows alive. He is so
lucky that If ne were to fan into a cess
pool, the probabilities are he would
emerge smelling like a rose, 1t vasI5ck
that made him sheriff, luck that made
him governor, pure luck that made hun
president, and the best ofluck that has
brought him . bright and beautiful
wife; and now there comes more
luck. 1t win be remembered
that during the preparations for the
marriage, Miss Folsom's GRANDPA Their
died, which circumstances could hardly
be called lucky, If 1t were not fer
the Tact, that upon reading the old
mans viii last week, 1t transpired that
the Presidents bride is an heiress 10
the tune of $4,000. Happily this is not
an instance illustrating the old saving
OF "a fool for luck" but it shows how
luck will sometimes follow a man
through life, almost overwhelming him
with good fortunes.

SWITZERLAND AND THE MOE
MONS.

The little republic Of Switzerland is
said 70 be really in earnest in its deter
mination to eIpel the Mormon elders
from that country and keep them out
Switzerland is q one-horse sort of a gov
eminent, and for fear of offending other
powers, moves slowly and cautiously in
matters which are at all international
in their character, and which might in
polve the republic in a difficulty with
other powers. Hitherto it has con-
hned its hostility 70 the Mormon,
chiefly TO protests, and now and then
permitting some jealous fanatics 10
abuse and maltreat the. elders; the re-
public itself has really taken no action
in the matter. though some of the
cantons have in times past adopted
measures for putting a stop TO
the labors Of the missionaries or
for Furnishing the latter. Now.
however, the Federal government itself
is said TO be bent on adopting measures
for the protection" of its citizens
AEt-A-lN ~--c a. IN
fiuence of the Mormon propaganda. y
As preliminary step the Swiss rem
resentstive at Washington has officially
asked the Secretary OF State If the
United States would consde- itan nm
friendly act il Switzerland were to drive
the missionaries across the border. and
forbid their return. It is not known
what reply Mr.. Bayard gave, but it Is
presumed he told the Swiss TO
go ahead With the procession, and not
consider the feelings OF this govern
ment. Such reply would be in perfect
harmony with the policy OF the nation
in reference to Mormons, and any
other answer might probably give
ofense to the demagogues who find it |
he popular thing to do to treat Nor
mons as il they had no rights which
anybody should respect.

TIE srARRow AGAIN.

The statement made in the S nate tht
other day by M Miller. in reference ic
the destructiveness of certain birds
notably the ricebirds of the South and
the English sparrow, OF everywhere,
should aid the popular movement that
has heen inaugurated against these
feathered pirates. Senator Miller as
serted that the ricebirds caused loss
equal to 81 per acre of all the rice crop
of the United States, while the ravages
of the sparrow w.re even worse than
those Of the rice birds, amounting to
many millions OF dollars year. The
opposition to the sparrow is not con-
fined to Salt Lake, as some OF our citi-
zens seem to infer. but extends over the
Union, some municipal corporations
paying bounties for the heads of the lit
tie thieves. The allegations that the
BIRDS are destructive are not idle asser-
tons based upon mere superstition, but
are truthful declarations made after
careful and thorough investigation.
1t Is known that the sparrows are not
destructive of worms and insects, for
they both multiply and prosper under
the very bills Of the little foreigner. 1t
is also known that the sparrows are the
enemies of not only the worm eating
birds. bat also of the song birds. This
city presents the most convincing truth
of this. Before the sparrow arrived, the
town was the home of thousands of the
useful and pleasing birds, while to day
You will scarcely see any other birds
than sparrows here. The robin, which
Is the orchardist's and gardeners best
friend, used to be here by the thousand,
and now he is so rarely seen as to be
great deal Of a curiosity. The chippie,
another of the industrious, insecr-de-
stroying birds, once made the city cheer |
full by his presence. but is now found |
onlyswsyfrom the haunts of his pug
listic enemy, the sparrow. We don't
know that the fighting little Brit
Usher has driven away the
crows also, but il he has he has a good
deal to answer for in fighting off a true
friend to the farmer, much as the crow
has been abused on account of the pop
lar, though mistaken belief, that he was
destructive OF corn and other gram.
The Senate having taken up the fight
against the sparrow, and it being shown
that the warfare is waged not as a ma
hcious but as a protective measure, it
II to be hoped that the fight will be con.
tinued by the people until the ugly
foreigner has been made to suffer the
extreme penalty for his many offenses
against the peace and prosperity of his
adopted home.
