Special 10 Commercial Herald:
JACKSON, March 18.-From the last
information that could BIZ obtained
concerning the fatal ARRAY at Carroll
ton yesterday the negroes were the
aggressors and commenced the firing.
MI. j. M. Liddell was on the stand, in
a justice court, giving in his testi-
mony, when a negro interrupted, with
out cause or %provocation, pulled a PTS
tQl and fired at Liddell. His friends,
who were OF the outside, hearing this,
and from threats made by the negroes,
expecting a difficulty, rushed in to his
assistance, when a general firing en-
sued. Ten negroes were killed and
three wounded. These facts are OBJ
tanned from an eye witness.

While it is evident to any thoughtful
observer that the burdens of state govern
ment might not for several years to come
he adequately compensated by its benefits,
vet such fact forms no objection to the
serious and immediate consideration of the
question of ultimate statehood. The ter
ritory is rapidly increasing in population

of natural resources, both mineral and
agricultural, promoted by the construction
Of railways and inflow of emigrants seek
ing permanent homes, will hasten perhaps
beyond present expectation the time when
self-government will become vitality i'm
portant to this people. But it will not do
10 wait until the demand becomes both
universal and imperative, since objections
made and delays interposed then, might
seriously retard public progress and work
an injury from which il would require years
10 recover. Let Wyoming speak through
her next Legislature and by her Demo
cratic delegate ask congress to pass "an
enabling act" granting authority, when
ever the interest of the people shall de-
mand such a step, to assemble in conven-
ton under due form of law, adopt a state
constitution and present the same to con-
gress, to be by that body considered solely
with reference to its securing a Republi-
can form of governmcnt-then, without
further trouble or any necessity Of politi-
cal discussion, enter at once into the sister
hood Of states. 1t is no advocacy of state
hood to insist upon the wisdom, if not the
necessity, OF assuming such an attitude as
will enable the people when the proper
time shall come at once and promptly to
avail themselves of the right ofcontrolling
their local affairs. Upon this issue the
Democracy of Wyoming, in con, ention
assembled, can well afford to go before the
people, and upon this issue it wonld surely
win.

WISH.


o a LITTLE BOY.
Touched with the mystic chrism of un.
seen hands,
Grit round with hope as with the light
of day,
May he go forth to walk his future way
Across the ripening gold of fruitful lands.
Unto the shore of perfect silver sands,
Where Time shall falter, crumble, and
decay:
And all the air shall tremble with the
spray
or waves eternal breaking on the strands.
There may he lay his burden down and
rest;
There may his Winter dawn again to
Spring;
And while the sun goes down the crimson
west.
And day shall glide away on wistful
wing.
Eternal love float DER the purple breast
OF that eternal sea, and crown him

UNRESTRICTED immigration begins to
be 80 generally recognized AZ an evil. that
it is possible that some effort will be- made
10 check the tide by such legislation as
the constitution permits, if not by
strengthening that institution in the dircc-
ton Of strictness. Meanwhile the sea-
board states should see that neither an
irchi-ts nor paupcrS are permitted to land
IN III shores. So much it is fcsaible
enough to accomplish, but as to such
Mormons as are not paupers, the best
that can be done is to see that they shall
be fully informed as to the nature of their
engagement. They can not be rated as
criminals because they believe in crime.

the existence of the peculiar institution OF

the business without the help of special

The only effective remedy and prevent
i've for the evil of Chinese immigration is
that advocated in the resolution Of the
California Democracy now in convention,
favoring the ~abrogation of the Burlin-
game treaty, and the deportation of all
Chinese now in the United States. The
latter measure would not be necessary,
were the former accomplished, but so long
as hat treaty exists-which would not be

From Trustworthy and observant sources,
il is confidently believed hat the Democ-
racy of Carbon, Fremont and johnson
may be depended on to give a good nc.
count OF themselves at the coming election
by carrying their counties by large major
tiles. Uinta was Democratic at the last
election. With thorough and harmonious
organization, and with due safeguards
against the use OF money, it is believed
hat three out of the other four counties
may also be gathered into the fold. Much
must of course depend upon the manner
in which the county conventions shall act
in choosing their candidates for local of
fee. If fnll effect be given to the popular
will. there can be little doubt of n victory

of any section or for the benefit of any

IAN have practical application tn our terri

mined opposition to class legislation of
every kind and its uncompromising hos

landmarks established, these lines of ad-

Democratic Meeting at Florence.
The citizens of Florence, OF both political
parties, turned out in large numbers last
night at the school house, to listen to ad-
dresses from Stephen NJ. White, Esq, r.
Bilderrain and A. N. Bragg, Esq
Omri Bulls presided over the meeting,
which was very enthusiastic. 1t would be
as useless to introduce Omri Bulls to a
Florence audience as to Introduce man to
his wife, as he lives hard by at LynwOod.
However he made genial and excellent
Chairman, performing all his duties
con dnlOre.
Mr.. White was in his happiest vein and
made speech which abounded in cOnvinc-
ing points against the Republican party and
its wasteful policy. He was both witty and
wise and was greatly applauded by the
audience.
Judge Bragg, who lives just below Flor
ence, delighted the audience with his
humorous statements aud home thrusts OF
solid facts and promised, If elected, to
serve the people without fear, favor or af-
fection.
Don Refugio Bildtrrain made pleasant
and effective speech in his earnest manner
and showed by his record that he had done
his whole duty while in office. a fact which
! the audience seemed to fully believe. and
appeared to be determineS to re elect him
as County Assessor.
All the speakers have been tried officers
of the people and do not need any recon-
mendation. Their record IS before the peo-
pie and known to be spotless.

Lynch at Calico.

EDITOR HERALD:-Wednesday night Mr.. J.
d. Lynch addressed large assemblage in
the Calico mining district. The spacious
hall was inadequate to hold the crowd. Mr..
Lynch Is now more than popular here
owing to the decided stand he has always
taken on the silver question. He gave
luminous review of this, to u, all-import-
ant question, and found everybody here in
complete accord with him., He also visited
some of the principal mines and took
notes His opponent. Vandever, who spoke
here Tuesday night, ignored the silver
question until reminded OF it by Demo
crat, and then he said the demOnetization
of silver was due to the rebels lie did not
seem to realize that he was in n silver dis
trict. You can bet on Mr.. Lynch carrying
Calico by 100 majority.
Mr.. W.R. Jacobs made n splendid ad-
dress and created a most favorable impress
sion. He is rising young orator, who will
make his mark.
The whole Democratic ticket is in high
favor here, and you will hear from us in
