THE TERRITORY.

In the -citizens-of- Utah
both Democrats-and-R Republicans pc
tition to Congress, which is being
folted around among the gin-mills
and dives for signatures, it is declared
that "our Territory Is rich in mineral
resources and a most promising one for
fiouris hing State" At first we thought
the local agent of the Associated Press
was the author of the petition. but the
above extract gives an emphatic denial
70 the supposition. The assertion Is
true. hence the Assures agent
could have had nothing to do with it:
and the tact that it is true would Indi-
cate that the appeal had not emanated
from the sanctum OF our unesteemed
morning contemporary.
The Territory is rich in mineral
resources; it is also rich in bone and
muscle: in the enterprise and skill
necessary to the employment Of the bone
aud muscle for the development and
utilization of the material resources,
and with the ability and desire to make
this a great and Hourishing State. If
the men who are engineering the petit
ton will stand aside. or If they will fall
into line with the good and honest aud
eaterprising people, twill not be
l)ng before the fourishing State
is a thing of fact, and the
rich resources are being brought
into the service of an industrious, pro-
gressive and prosperous community.
While the petitioners stand in the way
of progress, while they are warning uron
everything which tends to transform
the Territory into a fourishing State,
while they are Gripping enterprise
and preventing the development
of the rich material resources.
there must necessarily be more
or less delay in bringing Utah to
the position which she is destined to
occupy in the affairs of the nation. The
people who are really and honestly
bent on development and welfare, are
retarded and held back by having to
turn aside to prevent the fellows who
get up such petitions from bringing
complete ruin on the Territory.

THE LAND LAWS.

From our dispatches We learn that
the President has been studying the
land monopoly question, and is con-
WINGED that there is great need of q
change in the land laws, and reform in
the land Office administration, in order
to save the general domain from passing
into the hands of syndicates, and pre-
serve it for actual settlers. Its expected
that be will send q special message to
Congress on the subject. The
question is worthy the attention of
the President and Congress; il
is of no little importance. For the last
thirty years capital has found plenty Of
opportunity for investments in railroad
enterprises, until our country is a per
feet network of railroads. OF late
however. there has not been so much Of
an outlet for capital in that direction
and it has been investing largely in
lands. Not only havethe capitalists il
our own country been investing II
government lands, but companies from
England also have been securing large
tracts Of our virgin soil 1t Is tint
there was q halt called in this matter
that in the future there may be nc
agrarian troubles in America.

A DETERMINED PRESIDENT.

1t would appear that President Cleve-
land has q very positive way Of making
appointments when he once settles on
the man for any particular place. II
will be remembered that when he con-
cIuded to send Sunset Cox rs United
States Minister to Turkey, delegation
from the Empire State called upon him
to reconsider his appointment as the
New Workers still wanted the ser
vices of Mr.. Cox in Congress. The
President. however, told them that
their action only confirmed him
in his determination to send
Mr.. Cox to Turkey, as their requests to
have him continue in Congress was
grand testimony OF his worth.
Recently the President concluded to
appoint Howell Z Jackson, O Senator
from Tennessee. to the vacancy oc-
casioned by the death of Hon. John
Baxter In the United States Circuit
Court, but the Senator urged the claims
of other men who desired the position.
and whose incessant clamors promised
to degenerate the struggle for the place
OF the dead Judge into nothing better
than an unseemly scramble. To put an
end to this sort of disgraceful thing, the
President decided to appoint Senator
Jackson. and answered his scruples as
follows:
now want to say to you, you must
abandon all me scrupies you entert I'm
and permit me to nominate you to the
vacant place. Your reluctance TO con-
sent to this nomination, growing out OF
consideration for other people in your
State who desire the place, does yon
great credit and increases my esteem OF
your value, but you have not the right
TO control my action or limit my selec-
ton in this way. and AM quite willing
all other aspirants and their friends
should know your nomination is nv
act, and the result OF conviction OF what
ought TO be done, from which cannot
be moved by your argument nor by
your presentation of claims OF any Other
men. Fully expecting that you vii
not be insubordinate in the face of plain
duty, l am yours, sincerely.

York" by the tone OF the above. on,

Decayed Teeth and Eyesight.

Decayed teeth have been known to
exert an injurious effect on the eye
sight, but a recent case in Sweden
illustrates this reflex action in an un-
usually striking manner. The patient
was young girl blind in the right eye,
although the surgeon, DIR. Widmark,
was unable to detect the slightest
pathological change in the organ.
Observing, however considerable de-
fccts in the teeth, no sent her to NJ.
Skogsborg, a dental surgeon, who found
that all the upper and lower molars
were completely decayed, and that in
many of them the roots were inhamed
He extracted the remains of the molars
on che right side, and in four days
time the sight of the right eye began
to return, and on the eleventh day
after the extraction of the teeth II had
become quite normal. The deceased
fangs on the other side were subse-
quently removed, lest they should cause
return of the ophthal, aic affection.

Night Fishing in the Monterey Bay.

Nlsht Flshins IN the Monterey Bay.
The. fascination Of bright light for
fish is stated to have been first dis
covered by whalers, who noticed that
the fish fairly swarmed wherever the
glare fell from their trypot furnaces.
The Monterey fishermen have reduced
the system to a nicely. and the way in
which their nets swarm when beached
is ample evidence of their success.
When the Turing is done on large
scale it requires half dozen boats. and
the sight at night is full Of interest.
All but two or three of the boats are
fitted with metal basket at stern or
bow, and in this brilliant fire of pine
knots or oil-saturated wicking is
kindled and kept burning by constant
replenishing from stock of fuel car
ried i'm the boats. The fire is started
when the crafts are half mile off
shore and they are slowly pulled into
the beach, three or. four pretty close
together and on even terms. Behind,
the flaring lights and extending con-
siderable distance on either side of
them is deep net, dragged by boat
at either end and bellied out until it
forms almost a half-circle, of which the
lighted boats are the center. Around
the latter all the fish within sight seem
to gather, bent on investigating the
strange brightness and their curiosity
keeps them about the lights until the
boats are beached and the two extremes
of the net reach the shore. Then the
united force haul in the richly-freighted
meshes, bringing with them all the
gathered fish, from the tiniest minnow
to the biggest cod. Hundreds and
hundreds of pounds are taken at a
single haul, and by lively work the
same water can be dragged twice in a
tide with equally profitable results
The catch is promiscuous. and the
fishermen are kept busily employed
until train time. sorting and boxing
the different varieties.

The Advantage. of Reserve.

Nothing is so unnatural or 80 full Of
danger as the habit of easy and famil-
lar .companionship with people who
are only known under the conditions
of what is called society" conditions
which imply mutual complaisance up
to a certain point very easily reached,
conventional ease Of manner, courteous
frankness of speech which. need not be
very deep, superficial mutual intelli-
gence which seldom knows how far ii
penetrates-though 1t enjoys the evil
dence of having penetrated further
than was expected-and alacrity in
discerning and complying with the
wishes of others. The danger consists
in the facility with which companion
ship Of this kind is mistaken for true
intimacy, though 1t does not really
imply anything approaching to 1t. A
woman will sometimes marry a man
of whom she knows nothing at all ex-
cept that she has found it pleasant to
be flattered and admired by him during
companionship Of this superficial
kind. In other words, she will trust
her life to the keeping of man of
whose aims, of whose standard of right
and wrong. of whose power and habit
of living up to that standard she knows
just as much and just as little as she does
of the actors, whom she has seen on the
stage, though she is deceived into think
ing that she knows more, only because
she happens in this case to have been
one of the actors, and not merely a
passive spectator. Society is, indeed,
sort of expedient for rubbing off the
natural aud wholesome reserves which
keep people from trusting each other
till they have had real experience of
what each is made of-till they have
seen what are the objects of reverence,
what is the depth of reverence; what
is the force of practical fidelity to the
higher aims that determine the trne
character working behind the familiar
forms and faces of so-called society
The surface of the sea on calm and
sunny day is as little of an index to the
dangers which the sea may cause, as
the familiar manner of mere society TO
the deeper influences which those who
mingle in that society can exert. II
would be as wise to drink the deadly
juices of the beladonna because of the
beauty of the night-shade's flowers, as
to welcome intimacy with many of
those whose manners in general society
are faultless and fascinating, without
knowing anything of them beyond
those manners.
