,lARKIAGE IN THE REPUBLIC.

The recent census returns from Paris are
worthy Of notice They show that in ten OF
tha twenty ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF that city the
population has decreased in the last five
srears. There is one most apparent and sug-
restive reason for this. BachelOrhood has
-royyn constantly more popular in France,
aud the government has thought seriously
of placing special tax on unmarried men.

men OF wealth and standing Is 10 be OBJ

of marriage, and imposed heavy penalty

show that here, in the eastern States, the
number OF unmarried women Is rapidly in
creasing. There is, Of course, nothing
intrinsically dangerous about old maids.
They have no anarchical tendencies and are
generally peaeeable and useful members Of
society. But it is not well for the Republic
10 allow them 10 grow too numerous. In
Massachusetts, the excess of females in $50

Before Congress shall take action on

part o. the Constitution, it will d.
well to seriously consider the above
facts, and the inclination that is grow
ing that would avoid the duties and
responsibilities OF married life. On an

TELEPHONE TROUBLES.

The public will watch with interest
the progress and outcome of the suit
that has been instituted TO prevent the
electric light wires from being placed in
proximity 70 the electric telegraph
wires. But We take it, the public will
be more interested in a law suit thai
will prevent contact between the ele.-
trio light and the telephone wires. Lat
terly some telephones in the city are
useless during the evening and first part
of the night, the only sound that can
be conveyed through them being a
cracking, Sizing, stesming noise which
continues for hours at a time, to the
utter destruction of the instruments
usefulness. The telephone people at
tribute this trouble TO the proximity Of
the electric light wires. II the theory
be correct it is high time the trouble
was overcome and the evil remedied
for besides being an annoyance and a
nuisance, there must be danger in the
heavy charging of She telephone wires
In city OF the size Of Salt Lake. the
electric wires for all purposes will
necessarily be limited in number, and
where the streets are as wide as thew
are in this city there is ample room to
string all wires without interfering with
each other. One thing is absolutely
certain, and tina. is that the telephone
people must ascertain wherein the
trouble on their lines lies. and remove
il, or else they must suffer a material
reduction in their revenue; the people
are not going to pay for the privilege of
supporting such a chronic ANNOYANCE
as the telephone has become on some
lines.

He has removed few: in sact it might

serve under an administration
elected by the opposition, and
they sent in their designations; others
refused to surrender or subordinate
their political principles for the sake OF
the salaries they were receiving they
kept on openly and msnfully workir &
for the advantage of their party, and
thus forced the administration to re-
move them. But the changes that have
been made have largely resulted from
the expiration Of official terms. As
Governor Warren's term will expire
with Cleye,and's, and as Warren IS not
one of the resigning kind, the Demo
Gratis Of Wyoming demand his re-
newal, in order that their party and
the Territory may enjoy some Of the
fruits Of the victory that that Won
nearly two years ago. They ask that
Democrat be made Governor, and al
most unanimously unite on
e1-Delegate 10 Congress, Morton
E. Port, for the position. Mr..
Post is less ambitious for the Office than
the people are anxious to have him take
it. Twice the Democrats sent him to
Congress, and would have returned
him again and again if he could have
been prevailed upon to accept the NOM |
nation. He is devoted to the progress,
development and welfare of the Terri
tory; his wealth, of which he has fair
share, is all centred there, and Wyo-
ming is his home in the permanent |
sense Of the term. There is none OF the |
odor about him; he came to
Wyoming early with the intention of
taying, and has done his share towards
making the prosperous Territ,ry what
t is to-day. OF all men in Wyoming
ir. Post should be governor at this
Ime; for the Territory which is
making more rapid strides towards
7ealth and position than people
Inside are aware Of, wants
n executive of ability; with progressive
ieas and aims, and who is so deeply in
crested in the Territory as to devote
imself to its best good. Besides all this.
Ir. Post enjoys the confidence and re-
beet of the people, and is their choice
II governor.
However. it S doubtful if anything
nd everything that can be said in his
Iyor, will count with this administra-
on. We sincerely hope it will lot be
}, but the chances are that if any
hsnge be made in the governorship of
ur sister Territory. some man from a
lstant State who cannot get an Office
{ home because he is known, will be
e1t out with his grip-sack to be fed at
he public expense, and to become a
eneral nuisance among the people.

THE PIONEERS.
and not to individuals.

fhirty-nine years ago this morning
and By the way, it was Saturday morn
ing too-a few carriages and wagon
might have been seen vending theil
way over q rough, new-made road
through Emigration Canyon. At last
quite early in the day. they emerged
from the mouth Of that canyon, and
came IN full view of this now lovely val
ley, and the grand lake in the distance
that lnirrored the sky and the sun
light. The head carriage was driven TO
an emiaence 0verIookinr the valley and
the curtains rolled up, and then a mid
dle-sged man, travel-Torn and 5 OK
rose from a couch of buffalo robes and
quilts upon which he had been 7, elm
ing. For a few minutes he stood
upon his feet and gazed upon
the view spread out before him,
as If entranced; then sinking back upon
his couch he exclaimed to the driver
this is the place; drive on" The
speaker was Brigham Young, the driver
was Wlford Woodruff, the company
was the Pioneers.
They drove down to a point n Cry
Creek, and as some Of orson Pratt IS ad-
Vanced company had commenced plow-
ing that morning, MILFORD Woodruff
got out a bushel of potatoes he had
brought with him from the east and
planted them before one O'Clock that
day.
City Creek then divided just below
where the Temple Block is now located,
one branch running west and the other
south. 1t vas on the south fork of the
creek where the advanced company |
made its camp just east Of where the
Cliff House now stands. At the first
attempts to pillow the land it was so
dry and hard that some of the
plows were broken, but the
Pioneers run the water over the ground,
and by the Saturday night they had
plowsi and planted with potatoes and
other vegetables about six acres of land,
the field extending from where the City
Hall now stands southwark. That was
thirty-nine years ago. What a change
those years have wrought! How fruit |
full with blessings TO this landl What
commonwealth has grown from he
labOrs of those brave, noble Pioneers /
Yet some of the very men who took an
active and leading part in bresk;ng'up
and planting that first field, are exiled
from the land their hands were the
first to cultivate; in their old age, when
rest and honor should be accorded
them, they are hunted like criminals
not for crime, but for conscience sake
because they do not choose to disgrace
their manhood by being untrue B their
families and their God And this is in
America, where these honorable men
are driven from a commonwealth they
were the chief instruments in found

We SINCERELY hope that nobody will
think of charging Captain Ransford
Smith with the defeat of the Edmunds-
Tucker bill. Powers was bounced
within a week of Ransford's arrival in

WHEN THE people of Utah desire the
removal of Federal official they should
send Captain Ransford Smith to Wash
ington to workapr the retention of the
objectionable individual. The bar of
Utsh and the Congressional delegation
from Michigan labored diligently and
earnestly for more than q year to get
Judge Powers off the bench, and CAP
tain NTH went to Washington in the
interest of the Judge and was just a
week in getting his man bounced. The
Captain should prove 3 valuable man
for Utah.

Eyolu,ionis.s and Erolution,sts.

Evolutionis;s and Evolutionists.
Professor JosErH LIE CoSTE, him
self scientist, pays in tho Overland
Monthly tribute to AaAssrz which
is thus summarized by contemporary !;
"Agassiz gave greater impulse to
biological science than any Of his con-
temporaries, and to him belongs the
whole foundation Of scientific theory
Of evolution. But he did not believe
that evolution is the sum and substance
Of all things; he refused to acknow-
ledge that tho force Of development is
inherent in matter. He believed in en-
bryonic development, and gave eyolu-
tionists like Darwin and Spencer little
ground on which to stand but he de-
MED that new species can be formed by
transmutation from previously existing
species. He saw in evolution, not the
inherent force Of matter, but the re-
suits of q great Intelligence, . great
Architect directing and experimenting
ell things. He laid the whole founda-
tons Of scientific evolution, and saw
in that theory nothing to shake his be-
lief in the Almighty. On the contrary,
everything confirmed his faith"
There are evolutionists and evolu-
tionists. This fact should be borne in
mind not only by those who accept all
evolution theories out Of hand, but by
those who condemn all evolution theo-
ries out Of hand.

PRESENTED By THE SULTAN.
General Lew Wailaces Souvenirs of ITS
Turkish Mission.

General Lew Wailace's Souvenirs OF ITS
Turkish Mission.
A special to the indianapolis Mems
from Charlottesville says: After he
had handed in his letters Of recall as
United States Minister to Turkey, Cen
eral Lew. Wallace and wife accepted
number Of handsome and costly pre-
sents from the Sultan. The first is the
imperial decoration of the Medjidie,
founded by Sultan Abdul Medjid in
1852, and after the Crimean campaign
conferred on numerous British officers.
1t has five classes, differing in size
and value, the design in each being a
silver sun Of seven triple rays with the
device Of the crescent and star alter
mating with the rays. On circle Of
red enamel in the center Of the decora-
tons is legend in Turkish whose
significance is Zeal, honor, and 10y
atty and the date 1868, corresponding
to A. d. 1862. The Sultan's name is
engraved on gold field within the
circle. The first three classes sus-
pended the badge around the neck from
q narrow red ribbon bordered with
green, and star closely resembling the
order is worn on the left breast. The
grand Gordon, a broad red ribbon with
green border, is worn from the right
shoulder across the breast, and is
fastened at the left side with rosette.
1.-THE second present is a cigarette
holder Of pure gold, the size Of lady's
ordinary card.case. The lid is set with
twenty solitaire diamonds. A border
on the rim and the initials IS. H. in
the centre are made Of smaller diamonds.
The gifts TO Mrs. Wallace are diamond
breast.pin and the Nishan U. Shefkat.
or Order Of Good Works; necklace
Of gold, with pendent star set with
diamonds. The centre. Of red and green
enamel, contains the Sultan's monogram
and a text from the Koran. When
worn a smaller star is attached to a
broad white ribbon edged with green.
This order was instituted in honor
Of Lady Layard, wife Of Sir Henry
Layard, Ambassador from England
to Turkey during the Russian
war which ended in 1873. The Am
bassadress was very active in the hos
pitfalls of the allied armies, and as last
ing memorial of her charities the badge
was designed and presented to her by
the present Sultan, Abdul Hamid. 1t
has recently been conferred on the
Queen of the Netherlands, the Crown
Princess of Austria, the Marquise de
Noailles, the Countess of Dufierin, and
several others. At the home of Gen
eral Wallace may also be seen many
souvenirs Of less value and importance,
among them small photograph of the
Sultan, an Oriental dagger, piece Of
Turkish embroidery, and the original
letter from the Sultan accompanying
the presents to General Wallace, and
many other articles of priceless value
to the owners"

We think it would be wise for our
legislators to ponder well the subject OF
{" free books" for the public schools
before they increase the expense of the
government near one million dollars an
nually. The patrons Of public schools
have not Jet forgotten the expense to
which they were compelled to submit
BY . change Of textbooks. Every
teacher knows the great advantage in
having q uniform system Of books ;
they also know the great difficulty ex-
perjerced in protecting public property.
A calculation founded upon experience
and observation would justify the con-
clnsion that one fourth more books
would be required for the schools II

RAILROAD.
Our people throughout the county
are very much exercised about another
railroad. Many Of them are heartily
favorable to the Atlantic and Danville,
of which Mr.. Tillar, of the House Of
Delegates, is president. They are
favorable to it under the suppo-
sition that it will strike the county
near Clover, and, passing that grow
ing town and Scottsburg, touch the
county-seat; then running up Ban
lister river to Meadsville, thence to
Vernon Hill, and on to Danville. 1t
is not known, however, where the line
will be built. If it runs on the South
ofDan river along the North Carolina
line to Danville, Of course the matter
will wear an entirely different aspect,
and will have few supporters here.
The Lynchburg, Halifax and North
Carolina road, charter for which is
now undergoing the scrutiny Of the
Legislature, is held in high esteem and
the county will undoubtedly vote a
handsome subscription to it, provided
Lynchburg and Campbell do the same,
as I am informed they will. IL one
will take map he will observe that
from Durham to Lynchburg ria South
Boston, Halifax Courthouse, aud Re-
publican Grove it is perfect bee or
airline, and, what is more important
still, that the country tributary
to the road embraces some of the
wealthiest sections Of this portion Of
Virginia and North Carolina, now.
however, entirely cut off from the world
for want Of railroad facilities. Know
ing the disposition and desire of the
Dispatch to build up the Masterpieces
Of Virginia, l mention these facts,
hoping they may attract the attention
Of capitalists. The road will certainly
be built some day, and splendid in.
vestment is open to proper parties.
