Statesmen In Love.

The dispatches think it necessary to in
form us that Senator Wade Hampton has
become infatuated with Nine. Rhea
Senator Jones, of Florida, is considered
insane for showing his love for an heiress.
Senator Christiancy attracted universal
attention when he became enamored of n
fair Treasury clerk. In all these cases
the prevalent idea has apparently been
that Senator differs in some respects
from other men-that he should be proof
against the darts OF love, and that ii he
shows himself to be vulnerable it is u
sign OF an unbalanced mind.
These assumptions are all unfounded
A Senator is simply an ordinary man
generally q very ordinary man. Like
other men, he is sometimes in danger Of
falling in love. Occasionally he even
displays the prevalent affection for money.
His tastes, in all respects, are those OF
the masses. 1t is fortunate that this is so.
If Il Senator were q creature so different
from his constituents as to be unaffected
by their passions. how could they Judge
him, and know him when his actions
were right and when wrong? Public
men have sometimes been represented
by cynics as mere money-making ma
chimes, destitute Of all human feeling.
In reality, they are people subject TO the
ordinary temptations, which they resist,
when they do resist, from the ordinary
motives. Any man who can understand
himself can understand his Senator.
We think, then, that the Geographic
agents might spare us the accounts OF
Senatorial love affairs. That Mr.. Jones
should admire pretty woman is no
sign OF insanity. That his admiration
should he undampened by the fact that
she is worth two or three millions OF
unromantic dollars may be reflection
ON his imagination, but not on his every
day business sense. Ii his opponents
can find no more eXtravagant cccentricity
to charge against him, his reelection
ought not to be difficult, especially if he
gets the heiress in time,-iSan Frdncisc,
Post.

THE wALKER.ROGERs VERDICT.
Furniture Given TO the Defendants
and the Piano to be Played
by the Plaintiff.

The jury in the Walker-Rogers case
went out OF court Yesterday afternoon be-
fore 4 o'clock and it was the general inn
preston that almost an immediate YER
dict would be reached. Quite different
condition of things, however, resulted,
and no agreement was arrived at until
after O'Clock last night. At the outset
there were several jurors who insisted on
Judgment for the defendant to the extent OF
giving Mrs. Rogers and Miss Sara Walker
full title to and legal possession of the
piano and furniture in dispute, but four
hours OF constant argument and balloting
effected compromise, and when YER
dict was finally handed in to the court
this morning, it read that the piano
should he declared the property of the
plaintiff while the furniture in the opin-
ion OF the jury rightfully belonged to the
ladies named.
Judge Zane, in announcing the verdict,
remarked that the jury's decision was a
peculiar one, and it would have to be de-
cided by the lawyers whether it was APP
plicable to the case, inasmuch as the suit
had been brought to establish title to the
whole property. 1t is understood that
Messrs. Hoge and Arthur Brown, Mr.
Walkers attorneys, will file the necessary
papers to have the verdict admissible,
and that the case will end there.

The RalIroad Mans Sheep Company

A number OF the employees OF the Utah
Central Railway, principally brakemen,
iiremen, and section hands, have filed
articles with Secretary Thomas incor-
porating the Railroad Mans Sheep Com
pany. The capital stock is 10000,
divided into shares OF S. each, and only a
part OF the stock is rs yet subscribed. A
singular feature about the papers also is
the absence OF any mention OF officers. II
is probable that the organization is
simply in progress.
The articles contain some rather anus.
ing clauses, among them the following
| That this corporation shall continue for
| twenty-five years, and as much longer as the
laws of the Territory will permit.
! That the object and business of this cor
/ poration is and shall be to purchase, by the
investment of capital subscribed, herd of
sheep, in order TO realize an increase of
funds, and such other purposes as may here
after be determined
The company's headquarters will he

That Eplraim Matter.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: In your issue OF
March 4th appears an article headed
''Religion and Rum" in which the
writer would make it appear that the
assistant postmaster and the postmaster's
son are one and the same person. He
says: "A few days ago the postmaster
and his son got into pugilistic encoun-
ter" etc, and further on, that 1--WE will
back this couple against any postmaster
and his assistant in Sanpete county"
will here say that the gentleman (?)
who wrote that article must have been
very wrongfully informed, or else he is Il
willful liar. lie knows that am not the
postmaster's son, and that | am not Il
Mormon. have had neither pugilistic
nor any other unpleasant encounter with
the postmaster He claims that the
usual fighting ground is in front OF the
postotiice. 1t is strange that ii this pugil-
istic encounter in which bystanders had
TO interfere, took place, that did not see
/ it. 1t is also strange that the proprietor
of these reserved seats" did not see it.
The fact OF the matter is that no such en-
counter ever took place in front OF the
postoflice during my incumbency in the
office. III. i. LARSON,
Assistant Postmaster.

MINNIE HAUK IN "CARMEN."
She viii Positively Sing in the
Grand Opera Engagement
Next week.

Mr.. c. H. Dittmann, the well known
advance agent OF Col. Mapleson was seen
this morning in relation to the rumor cir
culated about town that Minnie Hauk
was not going to sing in Carmen" here.
The gentleman appeared thunderstruck
by the announcement, and said he was
wholly unable to account for its origin.
There can be no doubt, whatever, lie
stated that il Carmen" is given in Salt
Lake, Minnie Hauk will sing the lead
ing role. In fact there is no
alternative, because we couldn't
and wouldn't attempt to put Gar
men" on without her. Wherever
"Carmen" has been given Minnie llauk
has never failed to appear, and nothing
that know of at the present time could
induce us to substitute any other opera
Tor Carmen" here. Carmen" has be-
come more popular, believe, than any
of the other operas we have yet given,
and the people of Salt Lake will be de-
lighted with it, without doubt. We have
placed our rates at 81 and 81 so, and have
q better company than we have ever
travelled with before, our conclusion being
that company of stars will draw
more popularity than one with only one
or two stars in it, Cheyenne, with a
population oil only 5000 people, gladly
pays SIS for seat, SO that Salt Lake
certainly is favored in the matter OF rates
Mr.. Dittmam perfected arrangements
for opening the sale OF tickets Friday
morning at Moore, Allen & Co.'s drug
store, and there can be no longer doubt
that with the renowned prima donna
and the favorable rates, the Theatre will
be fairly jammed on the evening OF the

it will be remembered. only absconded

that the boys mother, who resides

Some four months ago, Kinsie, who had
found his way to San Jose, wrote to
Bishop futile here, asking for ad-
vice, and the Bishop promptly
advised him TO come home and make u
clean breast oft. He didn't have money
at this time, but since managed to raise
sufficient to pay his fare back here. He
came to his home Saturday and was about
to accompany friend to the Marshal's
office this morning when Deputy Smith
took him into custody. The boys mother

afternoon and offered to furnish

MEXICAN TYPICAL ORCHESTRA
t.nsi Night. Fine PrOGrammc-stn.
Brambilla Creates u Sensation.

The Mexican Typical Orchestra, in
their second performance last night, were
welcomed by II larger house than on their
first appearance, although it was far from
merits of the company justify. The pro-
gramme, in one essential feature at least,
was decided improvement over that OF
Monday evening, and this is saying Il
good deal for the excellence OF the con-
cert. Senoritta Linda Brambilla, who
was unable to sing the first night, owing
to indisposition, contributed two splen-
did numbers, and received as many
hearty encores. 1t had not been
expected that the company had
an extraordinarily fine soprano
with them, and therefore when the
Senoritta launched out on the enchant-
ing notes OF Meycrbeer's "Dinhora," the
audience became wild in its applause and
appreciation. This charming selection
had been given by the Sagebrush Lnnet
not long enough ago to be dim in the
memory OF part OF last nights audience,
but this fact failed to initiate in the least
wise against the success OF the number,
and the curtain was rung up twice in re-
Spouse to the persistent recall OF the audi
ence. For an encore the lady sang "Thc
Dove" beautiful Spanish composition.
Her later numbers, the Last Rose OF
Summer" and CLONE, Sweet Home, -
We're equally well received, although the
selections did not meet with the hearty
favor accorded her former pieces. Most
Of the programme was applauded per-
sistently for encores, and every number
was thoroughly enjoyed.
An entire change of programme is an
nounced for tonight, and if the com
pany's excellent merits count for any
thing with the public there should be Il
jammed house.
