The low rate of wages prevailing
in the southern States is apparant
at q glance. In explanation Of this
difference Radical ranters will tell
us that it is owing to the oppression
of labor In the South; but this
lie is not worthy rsfutation. The
secret is deeper and more common
sense, and is patent to every rea-
soning man. 1t is the simple diff
ference between intelligence and
ignorance, between skilled and un-
skilled labor. So long as our
farmers insist on jogging along in
the ways OF their fathers, just SO
long will this difference in wages
exist, and just SO long will uni
versal depression and failure follow
in the wake of southern farmers.
If they will use a pillow and a man
and horse to open the row, and
man to SOW or plant their corn and
cotton, and still another man, pillow
and horse to cover it, when they
can buy machine for ten dollars
that will complete the job in one
trip, in one quarter of the time,
then they must expect to pay the
expense of keeping the extra men
and horses, and lose just that much
profit in actual outlay of money
and loss of time.
1t is time our planters were
waking up to the fact that they
are nearly a generation behind the
times in the use of improved i'm
plements and methods of agricult-
ure. With their buggy plows,
sulky cultivators, reapers and bind
ers, and other labor-saving con-
triyances, northern and western
farmers are thriving while ours
are getting farther into debt year
after year. The question is, shall |
this state of things go on forever,
simply because our daddies were |
able to get along by the use of
methods that are now plainly out
Of date ? Whom our people have
adopted latter day implements and
methods then the time will come
when it will pay a farmer in these
parts to give intelligent laborers
S25 per month.

1t is very common to hear men
refer to the times of peace and
plenty when they were boys on the
Old farm homestead, and then COM
pare the present depression and
'hard times" with those days.
Occasionally one will go little
farther and attempt to philosophize
over the matter, but very few go to
the extent of putting their theories
into practice They will tell you,
as a conclusion of the whole matter,
that labor in the South is demon
allied, and that farming here can
not be made to pay until new labor
and new. methods are imported.
Our farmers have themselves to
blame for the Generalization of
the labor. and, as for the intro
duction of new methods, that is a
matter plainly within their control

STATISTICS as to the wages paid
laborers by the month and by the
day in various portions of the
country, and for convenience give

Rogers & WiScOmb.

A few years ago the firm of Rogers &
Wiscomb opened the first really first
class general grocery house ever estab-
lished in Utah, and since that time, b,
keeping up the reputation of their store
they have been able to increase their
business to such an extent that it now
stands unrivalled by any house in the
Territories.
This is the only store in the town
where the housekeeper can find every
thing in the way of green, staple and
fancy groceries that a culinary artist
could desire. Vegetables and fruits are
bought fresh every morning, and the
most choice variety, both domestic and
imported, can always be found there.
They make specially of good butter.
which, by the way, is recognized as the
most important of all table considera-
tons. There are so few hotels, board
lighthouses or well regulated families
that do not deal with this firm, that it
seems unnecessary to go into the de-
tailed advantage of dealing there. The
business is carried on on a large scale.
and both wholesale and retail orders can
always be filled on short notice.
Send in your orders by mail, telegraph.
telephone, or take them in person, and
you will find that they will receive
prompt and courteous attention.

Em. DeMar, whose house of i'll fame

10 decide just how to proceed. Her case
was first set for trial yesterday afternoon,
when she appeared before he court and
stated that if she could be allowed days
continuance she would come forward and
plead guilty and suffer the consequences.
But the prospect of a term in the
city bastile has worked upon the
fair Emma's mind to such an extent that
1t is now entirely changed. At the an.
pointed hour En-. appeared in court again
To-day, and, through her attorney, stated
that she was ready for trial. The prose-
cution was taken by surprise and was
obliged TO ask for another continuation
on account of the absence of witnesses
Emma and her two girls, Ida Medland
and Bertha Nelson, then entered pleas
Of not guilty. The case will come mn for
trial tomorrow at > %. m.

GATHERING "SNIPES."
A New Plan For Collecting and
selling Cigar Stumps.

In many of the larger cities the work
Of collecting cigar stumps and selling
them to manufacturers has long been
recognized as legitimate industry
among certain class, and the scheme
has now struck Salt Lake, bringing with
it new idea in the mode of collection.
The beauty of this idea is that it lifts the
odium from the profession by giving it
the appearance of practical joke and is
at the same time the surest way of doing
the work.
Early last evening or late this morning
pedestrians on Main street might have
seen rather well dressed youth of sew
enteen, strolling leisurely up the side
walk with his hands thrust into his trous-
ers pockets in such way as to throw
back his heavy ulster and leave the side
pockets in the position of a ready recep-
tacle. The youth saunters along in a
most careless manner with apparently
no idea whatever of what is going on
about him.
Close behind him walks another youth,
who looks as though it was his turn to
wear the old clothes, and whose smiling
gaze at the first figure readily gives the
idea that the two are on friendly terms.
At short intervals the second man is seen
to stoop down, pick something up and
deposit in the pocket of the unsuspecting
friend. Those who are close enough can
see that he is gathering "snipes" and the
grin he gives conveys the idea that the
whole thing is joke. In fact, it is
joke, but, alas, it is on the unsuspecting
observer and not on the ulstered bow. By
the time the two have walked up one
side of Main street and down the other
side, the public has had good laugh,
the pockets are full and the jokers are
that much richer. Finally, the second |
young man leaves the other TO 60 his |
way, which is the road to the nearest |
cigar manufacturers. How they meet |
alter, divide the spoils and have a good
augh over the "joke," can we'll be
imagined.
Tomorrow the one who did the gather
ng will wear the ulster and the one who
wore the ulster will hunt the "snipes."
The joke will be best appreciated by
hose who saw this mornings perform
lnce and they can have royal good
lime seeing the .duped young man getting
wen with the "duper"
The ''snipes," as most people know,
ire used as the filling for new cigars, and
Is they are very necessary to the manu-
acture of Zine Havanas, :" it can readily
'e seen now the business can be made to
Jay.
