Ancient prohibitory Laws In Con-
nnctiput

The Hartford Courdnt exhumes the
annexed law, which it says was passed
by a general court" which sat in that
city in 1864: H..
For inasmuch as it is observed, that
many abuses are crept in, and committed,
by frequent taking OF tobacco:
1t is ordered by the authority oil tins
courte, that no person under the age ol
21 wears, nor any other that hath not al
ready accustomed himself to the use
thereof shall take any tobacco until he
hath brought certificate under the hands
OF some who are approved for knowledge
and skill in phisick, that it is useful ior
him, and also, that he hath received ly.
cense from the courte for the same and
for the regulating OF those who. either by
their former taking it, have to their own
apprehensions made it necessary to them,
or upon due advice, are persuaded to the
use thereof.
1t is ordered, that no man within this
colonye, after the publication hereof
shall take any tobacco, publiquely. in the
streets, highway or any barn yards, ol
upon training dayes, in any open places
under the penalty OF six months for eacl
offense against this order, in any oil the
particulars thereof. to be paid withou
gainsaying upon conviction, by the testi
mony OF one witness, that is without jus
exception, before any one magistrate
And the constables in the several town
are required to make presentment to eacl
particular courte, OF such as they doe un
derstand, and can evict to be trans
gressors of this order.

SENATORIAL PROSPECTS.

An Eastern exchange has been viewing
the political landscape DER with especial
reference to the United States Senate,
and the conclusions it has reached are
interesting enough to warrant their repro
duction in these columns for the benefit
OF all who may be interested in acquir-
ing some knowledge OF the future party
complexion of that body:
On the 4th of March, 1887, the terms of
twenty four Senators expire. These are
Hawley of Connecticut, Harrison of lndi-
ana, Hale of Maine, Dawes of Massachusetts,
Conger of Michigan, Mcmillan of Mime
sofa, Van Wyck of Nebraska Sewell of New
Jersey, Miller of New York, Sherman of
Rhode Island, Edmunds of Vermont,
Malone of Virginia, and Sawyer OF
Wisconsin, Republicans; Gray of Delaware,
Jones of Florida, German of Maryland,
George of Mississippi, Cockrell of Missouri
Fair of Nevada, jackson of Tennessee,
Maxev of Texas, and Camden of West Vir-
ginia, Democrats OF these Sherman, Cor
| man and George are re-elected-one Repub-
lican and two Democrats. Mr.. Daniels is
elected to succeed Mr.. Malone, a Demo-
cratic gain. The Democrats will make
desperate efforts to gain Senators in the
New Jersey, Indiana and New York. In
Nebraska, Van Wyck will probably succeed
himself, but he will hardly be classed as q
Republican, as he will be elected, if at all
by union of labor and anti-monopoly
granger interests. Aldrich, Hawley, Hale
Dawes, Sawyer Gray, Cockrell, Fair and
jackson, will in all likelihood be their owl
successors. 1t is doubtful if Conger care!
for another term. Mcmillan will en-
counter opposition in Minnesota ant
Sewell in New Jersey. Mitchell will no
have walk-away in Pennsylvania, ant
Edmunds, it is prophesied, will have alivel.
time in Vermont. 1t is said that the Blain,
men are determined that Edmunds shall b.
retired, because of his lukewarmness il
the last Presidential election. Jones o
Florida might have stood good chanc
of reelection if he hadn't spent so mucl
time of late electioneering in detroit
but this has probably settled his aspirations
There are several statesmen in Texas, also
who would be pleased to relieve Mr.. Make
of his onerous duties as Senator, and Gov
ernor Wilson of West Virginia aspires t
take Senator Camden's State troubles upo
his shoulders. There is also some talk q
bringing out Conkling for Miller's seat fror

Bland dollar is an honest, lOO-cent dollar,
and as such the American people want
it and demand its coinage until the mon
etary circulation shall be increased sui
ficiently to give the per capita OF money
necessary to perform the exchanges OF
the country. Yes, "the Bland
dollar must CO." but when 1t
does 90 it will be in the direction
pointed out by the country's necessities
into the channels OF trade and commerce,
into the poor mans pocket in exchange
for his labor, into the tradesman's till IN
exchange for his goods, back into the
national treasury in payment OF revenues
into general use as good, square, honest
dollar should go-not into the "innocuou'
desuetude" which the Herald and the
gold men have marked out for it.

GOVERNOR CALEB W. WEST.

The President yesterday sent to the Sen
ate the name OF Caleb w. West, oil Ken
tuckv,to be Governor OF Utah. 1t has been
known for some time past that the Presl-
dent had doubts about the propriety OF
rendering this Office to resident OF the
Territory-though surely those doubts
must have arisen from a msconceptlon
of the situation-and therefore it was no
surprise to ANYBODY when the news OF
this appointment was flashed over the
wires yesterday.
So far as can be learned the Presidents
nominee is Il gentleman who will un-
doubtedlv prove himself II lirst-class Of
fetal. During the little unpleasantness
which ended in 1865, Captain West bore
arms in the Confederate service under
Generals Lee and Morgan, and through
all the hardshipsincident TO the campaigns
entered upon by the Southern troops,
proved himself man of such metal as
soldiers should be made OF. At the close
OF the war he returned to his native State
anu upNDlpu lllIl5tll " SluiN h'N'
practice of law, and in that profession his
abilities early won for him an enviable
reputation.
Governor West is said to be II Demo
crat to the backbone, and combining this
virtue with II true soldiers courage and
an eminent jurist's legal abilities, it viii
be seen that, barring the knowledge o
local affairs which can only come through
actual residence in the Territory, he is
fully equipped for service in his new role
and little room is left for doubt that hC
will prove as good Il Governor as can bt
wished for.
The Democrats OF Utah will extend t
most cordial welcome to Governor Yves
on his arrival here, and they will not fai
to strengthen his hands in the perform
ance of his official duties whenever tin
circumstances may be such rs to call io
the advice and assistance they may be i
q position to render.

THE REMEDY FOR DULL TIMES

Business rcvivals do not come of them
selves, like January thaws, or polar
waves; they are the result OF an in
creased activity OF the medium Of eX-
change Capital is as sensitive as the
mercury in IL Thermometer. Its move
ments are iniallible indications of the de-
gree OF prosperity that may be looked
for. In order for business to revive,
there must be inducements for capital to
come from its hiding places, and cooper
ate with labor and enterprise. When
the blood of the animal organism becomes
congested in the great central reservoirs,
the body becomes paralyzed, and activ-
ity is restored only by establishing
an equilibrium in the circulation
Money is to business what
blood is to the body. For years it has
been receding from the surface and ex'
tremities, and congesting in the great
reservoirs of capital centres or its volume
contracted by the Government, prostrat
ing industry and paralyzing business o
all kinds. Not until it leaves its hiding
places, forced thereto by the unlimited
coinage of additional millions of silve
dollars, and comes out and takes labo
by the hand and asks enterprise for EN-
ployment in the development OF thu
country's resources, need We look or hop,
for II great revival of business in tht
United States.
Let our mints be thrown open for un
limited coinage OF the silver dollar, anc
the depression in all branches OF trad
and industry will disappear like mis-
| hefnrn the Innrninn gum

enough for us. 1t contained a dollars

amount to-day. The act OF '73 which
surreptitiously dropped it from the list oI
coinage, where it had stood since 1892 n,
the only coin standard oi money in this
country, was one OF the boldest acts oi the
gold and bond ring ever perpetraied in
America, and sufficient to brand its author

POSTMASTER LITTLEFIELD - AT.
TENTION

The attention OF Postmaster L. 4. Lit.
tlefield, OF Ogden, is respectfully called
to the following item, taken from the
Ogden Herdld OF last evening:
The Salt Lake DEMOCRAT for Friday we
did not receive until Sunday morning. Who
is to blame for the delay?
This is only one OF number OF com.
plants that have been made. From an
Ogden letter just received we extract the
following:
/ The DEMOCRAT gets up so late, or is not
distributed, that We do not receive it until
the t9lsTiSg 9,ls Sss sntFs; Pf ;
more than half the time, This hurts the
sale good deal.
No excuse can serve the parties respon-
sible for this unwarranted delay, Papers
are mailed regularly from the DEMOCRAT
office every afternoon in time to catch
the O'Clock northbound mail, and within
two hours at the most they should be
delivered in the Ogden postoifice so that
subscribers can get them.
Ii Postmaster Littlefeld will give this
matter his attention, he will confer q
favor both upon the DEMOCRAT and its
/ Ogden subscribers.
