OF BRAIN AND HAND.

1t is the hope and intention OF the
trustees Of the Salt Lake Academy to
add to its present superior advantages,
a department OF manual labor and train
ing. For this purpose additional land
has been secured and added to the
grounds on which the Academy buildings
stand. 1t is proposed to erect buildings
and furnish them with proper facilities
for training the pupils in the use of tools,
and to teach them various trades. This
will enable them to pay their way par
TALLY at least while obtaining an educa-
tion, and fit them to become useful citi-
zens and producers OF wealth. A training
school of this kind is most desirable
in this city, where there are 80 few oppor-
tunities to learn trades and where there
are so many boys and girls growing up in
idleness and uselessness. 1t is serious
question for the parents in Salt Lake to
ask themselves, "What preparation are
my children making for the active duties
OF life, and for what special lines OF pro-
ductive industry are they in traning?"
The institution Of learning that will
best succeed in training the brain, the
heart and the hand, to the complicated
demands that must be made upon this
trinity in unity, will best fulfill its mis-
sion in the perfect education of the indi-
vidual
Forty or fifty years ago, in New Eng
land at least, a majority OF the boys
learned mechanical trades or remained
on the farms their fathers had worked,
content in both lines Of industry with from
one-half to one-third less the wages now
paid for the same measure Of work. And
yet they laid d'up more money than wage
workers of the present day and were less

UNAPPRECIATED BENEFITS.

The obligation of the mere business
man and wage worker, in comparatively
newly-settled towns and districts, to the
journalistic guild, is poorly appreciated.
Labor and capital lay the foundations Of
communities, states and nations. The
advantages of new and sparsely-settled
places must be advertised to be made
available. The newspaper is the channel
through which the good points OF the
locality are trumpeted. And yet but few
OF the beneiiciaries OF papers appreciate
the personal advantages to themselves, as
property. and permanent residents
in any given place, of cleanly and fairly
conducted journal. Considered as a
whole, newspaper proprietors and work.
ers are the least appreciated benefactors,
and the hardest worked and poorest paid
laborers in newly settled places. In
fact, no other trade or profession will
cling to losing, thankless business as
the newspaper fraternity do. And it is
only when decent paper is finally
starved out OF town that an ungrateful
community awake to the fact that theii
loss is greater than the bankrupted ben
efactor. And 50 the most inveterate
miser and clustering atheist, will fight
shy OF an otherwise desirable place.

COTTON IS ACTIVE.
end

The telegraph informs us that Mr.. f.
l.. @. Cotton, manager OF land and
canal company in Colorado, has proved
his managing qualities by corraling his
friends and creditors in more senses than
one.
Suspicious that Mr. Cotton was trying
to pull the wool over their eyes and stuff
their ears with cotton, his creditors cor
nered him in his office and supposed they
had him fast. Indignant at the intrusion
OF these gentlemen, who had disregarded
the injunction upon the door OF his
sanctum, "No admission during business
hours" the Cottony manager, upon some
slight excuse, withdrew for moment,
touching spring lock as he went.
return, the hunters OF this Cotton-tail
dodger found that they were caught in
the hole of the hunted one, who had
left, drawing his hole after him. Here
was a go, although it seemed to be
mainly with Mr.. Cotton. How to get
out was the question, for it seemed to
the maddened hunters that they
had entered Dante's hell, upon the
outer threshold OF which was inscribed,
" Let all who enter here leave hope be-
hind!" They felt small enough TO crawl
through knot-hole, but none presented
itself. At last they boosted and pushed the
slimmest fellow OF the crowd through the
transom, to the detriment OF his but
tons and Prince Albert, and so obtained
their liberty.
In the meantime the mountain winds
had waited Cotton to more congenial
cline, and at last accounts he was still
waiting.

The report OF the Union Pacific Coy
ernment Directors has been made public
by Secretary Lamar. The income of the
road and its entire branch system for the
nine months ending September 30, 1886,
was nearly one million OF dollars more
than during the corresponding time last
year The branches have earned more
in proportion to their cost and running
expenses than the main road. The rela-
tions OF the road to the Government, and
the best means to be adopted to secure
to the latter the payment OF the debt due
it from the road are discussed, and the
conclusion is reached that, "The interests
of the road and OF the Government re-
specting the future policy are identical 4"
The report makes interesting reading.

TO LICENSE GAMBLING.

The st. Louis city council now pro-
poses TO deal with the betting pool
problem by recognizing pool-selling as
a legitimate business and placing il I'M
der municipal regulations. The bill for
an ordinance has been brought forward
providing for the license of the lin
dustry," the fee required to be paid by
book-makers and booksellers being
5000 per annum. The propriety Of the
action proposed may well be called in
question. There are some evils which
will exist in spite of every effort that
society may make to suppress them.
Lquor-selling has so far proven one Of
these, for the strictest of prohibitory laws
have failed to suppress the traffic in
intoIicants, even if they have checked
drunkenness. Recognizing its inability
10 overcome some OF those evils. society
has undertaken to place them under
Official regulation, and TO aid in the en-
forcement OF the regulation has exacted
license fees, But it is doubtful IL there
is settled American community that
wants to recognize gambling and bet
ting on horse racing as among the
things that ought to be placed under
legal protec ion; especially would we
think that st. Louis would be the last
city to undertake such thing. A few
years ago st. Louis set out TO deal with
another evil which American society
everywhere had hitherto refused to
recognize. The council Of the city
named adopted an ordinance taking
cognizance of prostitution, recognizing
it as an industry, and putting . heavy
tax on the business. Everybody knew
Of the existence Of the social evil, but
public sentiment was squarely opposed
to an official recognition OF the evil,
AID most emphatically opposed TO the
making Of prostitution legitimate as the
license law did. Popular opinion was
too much for st. Louis, ond the license
ordinance was soon repealed, though in
the short time it was in operation it
had succeeded in placing the evil nnder
better restrictions than had ever before
been known. Christian people regarded
it asa reflection on them If the com
munity made prostitution legitimate by
taking it under its protection and con-
troll, and collected license tax from it.
VIII not this same Christian sentiment
assert itself if pool-selling shall be Ii
censed and gambling on horse races
made lawful and legitimate. if not res
pectable. There are some evils,
whether they are necessary or other
wise, which society should never con-
sede it is impossible to cure; prostitu-
ton is one of them. and gambling is
another.

COERCION AGAIN.

Another chapter of cruelty is about
to be written in the history of England.
She is actively preparing to adopt the
cid policy of coercion in her government

partitions and determination manifest
by the Tory party, it appears 10 fore

And while elaborate preparations are
being made by the government, the

their schemes resistance, and appear

them and their families much suffering.
Even II they had finally brought their
employers to terms, they could never
have recovered the money lost through
idleness, nor placed themselves IN as

The action of the six local assemblies
is significant not only in its display OF
good sense on the part of the men, but
also in the evidence il furnishes OF
growing spirit of independence among
those who had hitherto obeyed the
orders Of the leaders without ques-
tioning the wisdom or propriety
Of those orders. In Chicago. also,
the necessities of some of the Knights
have brought than wisdom and indie
pendence, for they are Withdrawing
from the order and signing contracts
with employers to connect themselves
with no labor organization while re-
tanning their present employment.
Neither the orders of the chief officers
of the Knights, nor the commands OF
the local assem- blies can control these
men, who declare they are sick and
tired of striking, especially as long as
strikes result in no benefit to the
strikers, who eventually have to accept
the terms Of the employers.

FALLING TO PIECES.

The evidences OF the weakening of
the knights of labor as an Organization
have accumulated rapidly Of late. They
were numerous during the late general
convention in Richmond. and every
week since something has occurred to
show that the order is weakening; that
while 1t may be increasing in numbers.
it is lacking in the spirit of union which
once prevailed, and the power OF the
leaders is by no means what it was. In
our telegraphic columns this morning
is the account OF another kick out OF
the traces, boding no good to the
Knights. New regulations were issued
some time ago in regard TO apprentices
in the glass-blowing business of Penn
sylvania; the manufacturers refused TO
discharge their apprentices. whereupon
the district assembly OF Knights ordered
the men to strike. The order has not
been complied With, but instead six local
assemblies Of glass 5lowingKuights have
surrendered their charters. and gone
out of the order. Not only this. bul

BRAVE BL lINE.

The political organs OF the east sre
commenting extensively on an incident
which occurred at ex-President Ar
thurs funeral. When Mr.. Blaine
entered the house of death he was
ushered into = room where several dis
tinguished citizens had already
gathered, among them Senator Ed
mnnds, who was there as member OF
the Senate committee appointed TO st
tend the funeral. Upon Blaine's en-
trance Edmunds advanced 70 meet him,
holding out his hand; Blaine drew him
self up haughtily, looked scOrnfully at
the Vermont Senator, and without
urering a word or touching the eI-
tended hand Of Edmunds, passed to
the other side OF the room. The Incl
dent was noticed by several persons,
aud as a matter Of course found
its way into the newspapers,
which are now engaged in trying
TO make the most of it polite
ally for or against the Maine statesman,
according as the editor is an admirer of
or opposed 70 Blaine.
1t occurs to Us that the only objec-
tionable or regretable thing about the
affair was that it happened in house
Of mourning, where animosities, 20
Htieal and social, are expected to be
smothered il net forgotten; but even
the occasion does not warrant the
angry and vicious assaults upon Mr..
Blaine in which some Of the papers are
INDUCING. 1t is less g matter of sur
prise that Mr.. Blaine refused to speak
70 Edmunds than that the latter spoke
TO Blaine and offered 10 shake hands
with him. BlAine's course was one Of
personal dignity. while that of Ed
munds was impudent and insulting.
The Vermonter has long let
It be known that he hated
Blaine; two years ago Edmunds
refused 10 take part in the presidential
campaign because Blaine was the can
didate, and only q day or two before
the scene at Arthur's house, q letter
was published in every paper in the
country, in which Edmunds explained
as clearly as he could without making
the direct accusation, that his reason
for refusing to support the Republican
nominee for President was because he
believed Blaine was a dishonest man.
The Plumed Knight has never been
heard 70 complain off Edmunds' course
and treatment; he has gone along sub
hitting to the insinuations without
sqealing; ne has at least shown that he
had the courage to stand forth like 8
man, and ask no odds OF his enemies.
1t was simply too much to ask
him 70 humble himself and
assume q show OF respect and consider
alton for the man who had so grossly
and willfully msIigned him. II Ed
munds had possessed keen sense Of
the prophecies, be would never have
forced himself into the position compel
ling Q snub. Political prejudice may
lead men to abuse Blaine for not hiding
his true feelings, but people who are
not afflicted by q prejudice against the
Piumed knight, must say that he did
precisely what he should have done.
and just what any proud, self respect
ing man would do under similar cir
cumstsnces. Edmunds deserved the
rebuff and rebuke, and be is responsible
for the occurrence of the ugly scene in
the house Of mourning.
