CREMATION.

New York has been experimenting
with cremation. 1t does not seem to be
popular. This is not strange, as death
never has been popular aud probably
never will be. Death is the great thing
in this world, and let poets describe it as
they may it still remains a terrible thing.
Shelley may say that death is the veil
which the living call life; we sleep and
it is lifted" yet Job and the Preacher
have put it as it is, and man is but dust
and to dust he must return. Death is
but dissolution, and after dissolution there
come decay and corruption. Decay and
corruption come to the most beautiful
and the best loved, and the love OF the
living for the departed dead cannot stay
their progress. To our traditions and
our prejudices the burning OF the bodies
OF the dead is Il terrible thing and it is
natural that one should shudder as he
sees the body which once contained a
dear and divine soul reduced to ashes.
Yet that body must at last become as
the dust OF the earth, and the decay and
corruption which render it into dust are
liable to be a source of disease and
death to the living. The living must
take precedence of the dead, and to
preserve the living the dead
must be so disposed OF that
they shall be as little source OF danger

THE UTAH COMMISSION.

The discussion in the Senate yesterday
on the new Edmunds bill brought the
Utah Commission into prominence. SEN
ator Van Wyck offered an amendment to
the bill dispensing with the Commission.
He estimated the Commission at its true
worth. 1t is cumbersome and expen
sive piece of governmental machinery,
and should be abolished. Senator Van
Wyck said that the officers OF the army
could do the work just as well as the
Commission. This is true, but the plan
is Objectionable because it places the ad-
niinistration OF civil affairs in the hands
OF the military, thing justifable only
under the most critical and extraordinary
circumstances. The plan which we have
advocated all along is far more preferable
that the work of the Commission be
done by the Governor, Secretary and
Chief Justice of the Territory, with per-
haps the aid of the Probate Judge in each
county when appointing election officers
for the county. The work which the
Commission do is almost entirely clerical
work, and whatever responsibility there
is attaching to the work of the Commits
sion, save the disbursements of funds
falls upon the County Registrars and
Deputy Registrars. The offices OF the
Commissioners are nothing but sinecures
in fact they are as much sinecures as some
OF the Royalty Offices OF England. The
duties pertaining to the Commission
are almost nominal, while the expense at
which they are had is enormous. The
expense is thing which concerns the
General Government and not the Terri
tory, but the Government should none
the less reduce this useless expense.
What magic change there would be in
Utah ii the Commission were abolished
and the same amount OF money which it
now takes to run that institution were
applied to the creation OF more courts
and an increase in the prosecuting force
If the Government would but apply the
$4,000 which it now expends on the
Utah Commission to the enforcement OF
the laws against polygamy! Ii this were
done, these thousands so applied might
save the country many millions yet The
Commission is highly ornamental, while
a more extensive enforcement OF the
laws against polygamy would be most
useful and beneficial. Ii the Govern
ment has $4,000 TO spare, let it apply
that amount to increasing the courts and
the prosecuting force in Utah.

ANOTHER TRIBUNE" FALsEHooD
The Tribune OF this morning saws !:

llle IfiOuTle vi tillS llOrluHR says.
Following the statement of the DEMOCRAT
that Gentle jury will convict Mormon
here with or without evidence, it reiterates
that Hampton was convicted by "packed
jury and without evidence.
That is one OF the most barefaced false
hoods that the Tribune ever told, and
that is saying good deal The Demo-
cRAT has never said that Hampton was
convicted by "packed jury" and never
having said that, it is impossible for the
DEMOCRAT TO reiterate it, The only pos
sible motive that could have actuated
the Tribune TO make such an as
sertion is the desire to put the
DEMOCRAT in false light, and the reason
for this desire is that the DEMOCRAT does
not choose to play the music that the
Tribune delights in. For any paper to
make such statement about another
without any foundation whatever is
somewhat surprising even in the "journal
which holds the foremost place among
newspapers for thousand miles in either
direction" This is one of the specimen
facts of which the Tribune is always sc
sure. They are very sure facts, are they

A recovery from hydrophobia is related
as having occurred in a remote part OF
Ireland, the patient being the eldest son
Of the family, fine lad Of nineteen. His
recovery appearing hopeless from the
strong symptoms of hydrophobia which
he exhibited, the doctors decided upon
bleeding him to death as the only alter
native to the barbarous plan Of smother
ing under feather bed, which was then
common. A vein was opened, and he
was locked into an outhouse and left to
die But toward evening the milkmaid
of the household, passing near the spot
with her pail, was amazed to hear the
sufferers voice family asking for ''some-
thing to drink" Overjoyed at this un-
mistakable sign OF recovery, she lost no
time in summoning assistance, and the
young mans life was saved, the physi-
clans ascribing his extraordinary escape
to the carrying off of the poison by the
copoious flow of blood.

as possible. The cremation OF the dead
reduces this danger to the minimum.
When people have died OF contagious or
Infectious diseases, the cremation OF their
bodies would kill all disease germs; and
it is a pretty well established fact that
earth worms become infected with these
germs and often bring these germs to the
surface of the earth, thereby spreading a
disease anew. The investigations OF Pas
teur seem to confirm this fact. Such
things could not possibly happen where
bodies are cremated. The disposal of the
dead is not much OF problem in small
towns and sparsely settled countries, but
in the great centers OF population,
like New York, London, Paris and
other large cities, it is one Of the greatest
problems to be solved. There has never
been satisfactory solution Of it and it is
doubtful whether there ever will be. The
disposal OF the dead is most important
sanitary question, and must from this
point OF view arrest the attention of every
person at all solictous for the health and
welfare of the living. Cremation is not
likely to ever come into such favor as
will make it solution for the question Of
the disposal OF the dead; ii it could be-
come universal the problem would be
solved. The problem would also be solved
il the dead could all be buried at sea,
but this could not be with inland
towns. Some of the tribes of the fai
East make very philosophical disposal
of their dead by burying them in theii
towers Of silence. Edward O'Donovan
describes these towers in his "The Mery
Oasis" Science favors cremation as a
solution for the problem of the disposal
of the dead, but tradition and the teach
ings OF centuries declare in favor OF the
burial OF the dead in mother earth.

IT lately came to light in the English
Probate Court that a man named Pound
had lived with two wives for fifteen years.
He divided his time between them, and
each thought when he was absent that he
was away on business. He was on the
happiest terms with them both. He
passed with one wife as Mr.. jackson, and
beaueathed her money under that name.
1t was agreed that the property he ac-
qu;red under the name OF Pound should
go to wife Pound, and that under Jackson
to wife Jackson. But for his testament
tary dispositions the women would prob
ably have been in ignorance of the real
state of things to this hour.

FOR THE CITY AUTHORITIES


The New York .S,m OF few days ago
contained the following item:
DIR. u. p. Dennler and Mr.. and Mrs. James
Flynn, of Vernon avenue, Long Istand City,
were arrested Wednesday night on war
ratt sworn out by the health officers. They
are accused OF concealing cases of small
small .pox in the village of Freeport. The
schools and Sunday schools are closed.
We recommend careful study of this
to the city authorities, and If they will
learn the lesson that it teaches, and apply
it when learned, they can do
much to check the spread OF con-
tagious diseases in our city. We
do not wish to intimate that the physi-
clans OF the city conceal cases where
patients are suffering from contagious
disease, but no doubt patients and their
families who have no regular physician
in attendance but are attended by neigh
bors and nurses, are very apt to conceal
the nature of the disease from the quar-
antine physician. Occasionally the same
thing is done by Il doctor. 1t is wrong,
and to conceal such cases is to expose the
public and endanger life. Our town is SO
lax in the matter OF enforcing regulations
looking to the preservation OF health and
the prevention OF disease, that
the majority of the people would
look upon the arrest OF person who had
concealed the existence OF a contagious
disease from the health officers OF the
city as a great crime and outrage. Yet
such persons, no matter who they are
should be arrested and severely punished
after their arrest. The preservation OF
the public health is the first duty of the
city officials. This town needs stringent
quarantine regulations, and they need
stringent enforcement. There is entirely
too much false sentimentality on the part
OF public officials in the matter OF making
people conform to the rules established
for the preservation OF public health. Let
us have more health and less disease and
sentimentality.

State funds u rat tpo Amount

The 81 600 of bonds maturing in 1886,
and the SIS, 500 maturing in 1887, are pro-
vided for by tax levies already made, ieay-
ing only $4,000 unprovided for. Of these,
only $166, 600, all held by state funds, ma
ture prior to 1896.
In view of the fact that the bonded debt
of the state, unprovided for, aggregates only
$3.50 and that only $256,OOO of this
amount is held by individuals and corpora
lions, do not believe that it is wise or just
to impose upon the present generation of tax
payers the burden of paying our outstanding
bonds on their maturity. This generation is
bearing the heavy burdens of taxation neces-
sary to erect all our public buildings, which
will survive for centuries to come; we can
readily refund all outstanding bonds, as
they fall due, into new bonds, bearing in
terest at not to exceed 81 or per cent: and
it seems to me that it is neither wise nor
just to compel the taxpayers of the present
to assume, in addition to their own burdens,
that of providing sinking fund for the ex
tinguishment of our state debt We might
take pride In saying that the state has no
public debt, but it would be far better to be
able to say that taxes are not oppressive or
burdensome to the people. The present is
paying for public buildings the future will
occupy, and the future should provide for
the outstanding bonds as they mature.
In this connection, it is proper to direct
your attention to the fact the public revenue
which will be raised under the reduced tax
levies made last winter, will, notwithstand-
ing the increasing valuation of the property
of the state, be very largely absorbed by the
appropriations made, at the same time, for
current expenses and public buildings. The
demand for rigid economy at this session is,
therefore, imperative. The tax leyies already

Brief biographies.

Indianapolis Journal.
The new members of the lower house
have learned thing or two from the e1-
periences of their predecessors in the
matter Of composing their autobiogra-
plies for the congressional directory.
Members of congress have often been de-
feated for second term by writing out
too much in detail the history Of their
own lives for publication in the directory.
Some of the most effective as well az
cruel comments have been made by the
press upon the new members on account
of their Particularly in this matter. 1t
is observed that nearly all the new MEM
bers of this house have made their per-
sonal mention as brief as possible. Quite
number of them have reduced their
sketch to two lines. Mr. Howard, Of In
dina, got all he wanted to say in twenty
six words, and Mr.. Gray, of Louisiana,
in twenty-six words. Several Of them
have left out the time of their birth.
Most of them do not refer to the IN
stances wherein they were defeated in
their political aspirations. Mississippi
has one new member, Mr.. Allen, who
simply states that he was from Tupelo,
and was elected to the forty-ninth con
press as a democrat, and received so
many votes. Mr.. Warner, of Missouri,
and Mr.. Hutton and Mr.. Dawson of the
same state, are as brief In their reference
to themselves.
