There has been some mystery about
the physical condition of Samuel j. Tilden
through two administrations; but now comes
the remarkable statement from the Hon.
John Bigelow, who is in n position to be we'll
informed that Mr. Tilden, though an invalid
when compared with robust men, has never
been i'll bed from illness day since he was
boy Mr.. Bigeow says further: "The
amount of literary and other mental labor
transacted by him each day would break
down apparently stronger men. His vitality
is wonderful, and his mind as clear as twenty
years ago." This statement can be readily
believed. In his letter accepting the
Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency in 1876 he displayed marvel
lous power in the treatment of
public questions. His letters and
papers that have since been made public are
of the same character. His letter to Speaker
Carlisle, touching the coast defenoes, was
one of the most impressive public papers
that have found their way into print in 0
long time. The subject in hand was broadly
treated, and every line developed we'll
trained thought and splendid action. Ever
those who did not agree with Mr.. Tilden AZ
to how the surplus revenue should be applied
were forced to concede the argumentativt
force of the letter. and to almost wonder
how they could take different view undel
such reasoning. The last example of Mr.
Iilden's composition is Il tender, consider
ate and eloquent dispatch of coincidence t,
the widow of Horatio Seymour.

sCANDAL,MoNGERs AT WORK


Certain disappointed and belly-aching
politicians OF Washington and New York,
whose minds and tongues seem TO be
principally occupied in originating and
disseminating slanderous gossip about
President Cleveland and members OF his
Cabinet, have seen fit to connect the
name OF Secretary Whitney, OF the Navy
Department, with certain alleged ques-
tionable proceedings by which Il syndi-
cate OF capitalists recently obtained con-
troll OF the New York Broadway street
railroad and other other profitable fran
chises.
This story, as telegraphed over the
country ON Saturday last, makes out that
Secretary Whitney's name has been pub
lished as a member of the aforesaid syn
dicate which, under different titles, has
been working to secure control OF the
Broadway Street and other street rail,
road franchises in New York City, and il
has been asserted that the syndicate fur,
nished the money which one Jacob SharI
and his associates are alleged to have
used in buying through the Board OF Al
dermen the valuable franchise OF thi,
and other roads. "Should it now trans
pire," add the character assassins, "tha

THE SAINTS DON'T LIKE IT.

The Church papers are wild in their
dcnunciation of Representative Wood
burn, who yesterday introduced his anti
polygamy bill in the House. The News
compliments the gentleman by saying it
''is u reproach to the person who pre-
sented it to Congress-" and the "Me too"
morning Church squeaker follows its
leader by asserting that 'it is said over
in Nevada that Woodburn lacks sense or
skill enough to draft the plan for an out
house"
1t matters little by whom the bill was
framed or introduced, since there is
nothing to be gained by discussing that
matter. The Mormon people for num-
Der of years past have lived in open
violation Of the laws of the United States.
For this they are being punished, and
the bill introduced by Woodburn yester-
day is simply measure by which it is
proposed to further punish the polyga-
mists here, and also reach those who
give them aid and encouragement in their
unlawful practices. The Saints should
reflect, ii they are not past the stage at
which they can indulge in reflection, that
this bill is introduced simply rs mean
to the end OF forcing them to obey laws
which elsewhere in the Union are obeyed
without question. For the enactment Of
such stringent measures the Mormon
people have only themselves to blame
and the sooner they realize this fact and
turn their looks inward with a view t,
mending their unlawful practices, ant
cease this abuse OF Senators, Representa-
tives and United States officials for doini
simply what the welfare OF the Unior
demands shall be done, the better will i
be for them.

recent dispatch from Washir

\ recent dispatch from Washington
says there is n possibility that the Fitz John
Porter bill will be defeated in the Senate,
although it passed that body two years ago.
Ii every man who was in the Senate when
the bill WAS up before votes now as he did
then, and there is no doubt on this point,
and Senators Stanford of California and
Mitchell of Oregon vote against the bill, as
they are expected to do, the Senate will be q
tie. These Senators succeed Democrats who
voted for the bill, There is some doubt, how
ever, rs to how Stanford will vote. He
talks very frankly on the subject and says
that, in his own mind, he is very strongly OF
the opinion that Porter ought not to be re-
stored to the army. But his estimate of the
opinions of Gen. Grant amounts to rever-
ence. He says that he knew Grant init
mately for twenty years, and believes that
his judgment was almost infalible. On Il
question of this sort lie should not vote
against the opinion of Grant without serious
reflection, and proposes TO study the mattel
| thoroughly.

and is now serving the Saints, by forcing to
the front measure fraught with no partic-
ular danger to the Mormon theocratic
scheme, as against the test oath of Edmunds,
which would completely floor the Mormon
monster in this country, if put into execu-
ton. The polygamists are bound for Mex
leo, TO which country they propose taking
their polygamy with them, and Mr.. Wood
burns test oath is designed, evidently, to
forestall Edmunds', and thus leave the King
dom of God still in full control of Utah and
the politics of the Rocky Mountain region.

In Chicago the other day there were
two or three runaways of unhitched horses.
The following day the police were ordered
to bring in" every rig found in the streets
where the horse was left alone or unhitched,
and over fifty buggies, cabs, wagons and
drays were driven to Il livery stable, where
their owners found and redeemed them by
the payment of costs. Lots of profanity
followed the enforcement of this ordinance,
Salt Lake has just such another ordinance,
and it should be vigorously enforced.

The discovery OF Il Chinese leper in Il
Connecticut town where friends of God and
humanity are supposed TO be more numer-
GUS than they are in the West, draws out the
remark that 1.-The Chinese must go' with
quite as much enthusiasm as has been ex-
hibited in amy place ON the Pacific Coast.

New England into bowling home for

1t is believed that the Chinese at Rock
Springs, Wyoming Territory, will be re.
paid by the government for their losses
sustained in the riots there. The unem-
p!oyed laborers Of this country may be
disposed either to attach this money or
send in counter claim TO the Chinese
government for losses sustained by being
displaced by Chinese labor.

INCORPORATE UNDER IDAHO LAWS.

AS many OF our mining properties
will change hands during the ensuing
few months, we would again urge
upon all interested the importance
and advantage of Incorporating, as
the only safe, economical and rational
way OF developing and exploiting
mine properties.
As we all know, there are times
when mines pay and times when they
do not pay; when dividends are dis
bursed or assessments levied. So
long as their mines pay the owners
generally get along together; but
when they cease to pay--when the
ore-bodies In sight are exhaust ed
then trouble comes. Some of the
owners are able, willing and prompt
to pay their assessments; others are
either unable or unwilling, or both. If
the property is incorporated, each
shareholder can withdraw from the
company at any time by disposing of
his stock, which always has value; il
j. IS not Incorporated each owner is
ii.,ols to bs held for the Indebtedness
of the whole, and it is very difficult, if
not impossible to sell. Other advan-
tages attach to interpretations, as
against private owners, which it is
not necessary to state here, because
So we'll known.
Then, too, local companies should
incorporate under home laws. The
Idaho law is nothing more nor less
than the incorporation law in force in
Californis before the adoption OF the
new constitution. 1t was framed in
the early days, aud was the work of
the broad minded, world -renowned
pioneers--of those men who insisted
upon conducting things according to
their matursd and liberal ideas of
right snd wrong. The law, while
perfsctiy equitable. favors the poor
rather than the rich man. as it gives
the holder OF single share as much
right, in proportion to his holding, as
the man who may own one hundred
thousand times as many shares It. iS
therefore just and equitable, and can
not be bettered.
We therefore repeat the advice
given before in these columns. to wit:
Ii you possibly can, incorporatc your
property. and under Idaho laws, be-
cause the most suitable and satisfao-
tory to all concerned.

Is 1T THE BEST WE CAN DOT

AT the meeting, last night, Mr..
Strahosn stated that the rails and roll
ing stock for the proposed Gold Belt
railway could doubtless be obtained
from the Utah & Northern. That will
do, as far as they will 60, but they will
not 60 far enough, as the bulk of the
business Of the proposed railway will
be the transportation Of ore. For this
purpose specially-constructed, self
dumping cars made of boiler iron
must be provided and made to order.
Then, again, for the first two or three
years, the new road can be more eco
nomicaily operated by small locomo-
tives such as were land probably still
are) used in the Sutro Tunnel, in Ne
vada. These "pony" locomotives cost,
we believe, but about $500 each /;
they can haul heavy loads, and cost
auch less to operate than the big To-
oomotives used on the Utah &
Northern, where the trains are often
heavier than those on broad gauge
roads.
The TIMES has no desire to be cap
tiousi but as it sees the importance Of
the proposed new road to this region
and the Territory at large, it feels
solicitous that no radical mistakes be
made at the outset that would newt
ably result in the roads passing into
foreign hands. The Gold Belt road
should be owned here, and its profits
contribute to our prosperity.
