CO0lness In Action.

A good story is told Of the Russian
Prince Paskieyitch, During the
siege OF Warsaw he had ordered
a certain Polish battery to be 81
fenced by his own artillery and
became perfectly wild with rage on
observing that the artillery fire
produced no appreeiable effect.
Galloping to the battery he asked
"What idiot has charge here?'-
Il, sir, answered an officer
"fhen down you. go to the ranks
this very dry" said P4slieyitch;
you don't begin to know you trade;
your shells do not exploderi Il
know they don't" answered the
captain; "for the best of all reasons,
that they can't explode. - That's
"a lie said the prince, =" Is il?
See for yourself, then, replied the
officer, coolly picking up a shell
from the pile and lighting the
fuse, holding it up between him
self and the marshal. The IN n
shall TRANQUILITY crossed his mms
and watched till tho fuse sputtered

THE ONLY man, whether in or out Of
the army, who is not pleased by the
promotion of General Terry to the
Major Generalship made vacant by the
death of General Hancock, is General
Howard, who confesses his disappoint-
ment, and processes an inability to
understand why he was not given the
place. 1t should be as plain to Howard
as to everybody else. General Terry is
not a West Pointer, but he is soldier
through and through. He demonstrated
this in the war of the rebellion, and
since then has gone on proving and
confirming the fact. There is none Of tie
politician in him, and he is above max
ing a display OF his religious devotion,
though he is as good ristian, and a
more honest man than Howard. The
last named will get major-generaiship
this month, on the retirement of General
Pope, but he is now so low down on the
list that it is not likely he will ever get
to be in command of the army, while
there is a fair prospect that Terry will
one day occupy the place now held by
Sheridan.

CHINESE NOT THE REAL DANGER

1t is a well known fact that OF all the
men who took part in the recent butch
cry of the Chinese at Rock Springs,
Wyoming, not one was an American
by birth, and only two had taken steps
to become citizens of the Republic.
There we're but two or three Americans
in the Seattle lob which undertook to
drive the Chinese from that town the
other day. The Chicago Times asserts
that among the names of the large
number of men arrested for disorderly
conduct at McCormick's reaper manu-
factory, and who were found to be
armed with pistols, knives and other
weapons, there is not a single one be-
longing to the AnGlo-Saxon race. Some
day the country will come to
the conclusion that whether or
not it was wrong to drive
out the Chinese, it was foolish
not to bounce somebody else. Nobody
ever heard of the Chinese in this cou7-
try plotting to overthrow the govern
ment, nor can it be shown where The
Mongolians banded together to defy the
authority of the State. The mobs are
not made up OF Cinnamon, nor are the
heathens to be found stopping railway
trains, closing factories and shutting I'D
mills and workshops. If people will not
employ them, they do not complain and
say nobody shall work; they move on 10
the'next place and try again, and when
they do find work their employer knows
that he will get faithful service. and
that sedition, strife and trouble will not
prevail in their camp to his detriment
We once witnessed strike by abont
one hundred Cinnamon EMPLOYED in
railway construction. For several DAYS
the gangs detailed to load rails on the
cars had pleaded that they required one
more man TO a gang. saying they were
u liable to lift the heavy rails withcu,
doing themselves physical injury.
Their appeals were unheeded ard the
men abused. Finally. two of the load
ers came home at night disabled from
lifting and straining, when the spokes-
man of the gang told the section boss
that they would not work any more
unless another man was given to each
loading crew. The poor fellow was
turned away with an cath and a kick;
the next morning the Chinese were on
hand with their dinner pals to be taken
to different points along the grade.
when the boss detailed the crews to load
rails as usual, without putting on the
ez ra man; every man dropped his
tools. logged back TO his quarters, and
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-03-10

began packing his chattels, preparatory
to migration. A half day of parleying
resulted in the contractor yielding to
the reasonable request of the Cinnamon,
who thereupon returned to work in a
cheerful, contended frame of mind. The
foreman, bullying foreigner who had
been made a boss because of his brutal
instincts, which made him a good man
to maltreat and brighten Cinnamon, ad-
mitt to US that it was an outrage to ask
the men to work as they had been doing.
and said that men of any other nation
ality would have struck long ago, and
been justified in it, but these were "oDly
Cinnamon" and they were not entitled
to what he called civilized treatment. I"
Being asked if the Chinese did not at
tempt to retaliate when imposed upon or
destroy property, the boss declared the
fellows didn't know enough" and that
in cases of strikes the Chinese were
ignorant of how to bring employers to
terms, as the boys from the old country
would"
The Chinese are not good for this
country, but they are not as bad as
some foreigners who are trying to drive
them out. The Chinese are not a
menace to government and a threat to
tae constituted authority, which can
not be said of certain other of the labor
ing classes.

THE GOVERNORS APPROPRIA-
TON.

THE HERALD does not believe the
Legislature has any right to give the
Governor 81 $50, or any other sum, nor
that the Governor has any right to take
ii money thus rendered him. If there
is one provision in the law palmer than
another it is that in regard to this very
matter. TIE United States statute on
the subject declares that.
No law of any Territorial Legislature
shall be made or enforced by which the
Governor, or Secretary of Territory,
or the members or officers of any Terri
torial Legislature are paid any COM
pensation other than that provided by
the laws of the United States.
1t may be wise and economical to
give the Governor s., $50, if by so doing
the appropriation bill can be approved
and the M ans thus provided for car

SOME THREE months ago a number of
boys in Newark, n. j., were bitten by a
dog that was supposed to be mad. a
subscription was taken up and the lads
were taken to Paris for treatment by
Pasteur according to his newly dis
covered plan for preventing hydropho-
bia. The boys were duly inoculated,
and sent home, where they have since
enjoyed excellent health. All of which
might naturally be accepted as proof
that Pasteur had really discovered
something that was useful, if it were
not for another fact that is connected
with this affair. At the same time the
boys were bitten several dogs were also
bitten by the same rabid beast which
attacked the children. While the boys
were sent to Paris to be inoculated py
Pasteur, the dogs were put in cages at
Newark, and were not treated by the
Frenchman. The CANNES have lust
been released, having shown no symp-
toms of rabies. There is only one thing
to be feared now, and that is, that
Pasteur's treatment will develop
into hydrophobia in the children. The
dogs, of course, are absolutely safe, not
having been inoculated.

two years without b,r;owing or
compelling public works to cease,
public institutions 10 close and officials
to work without compensation; but ex-
pediency will not make the act lawful.
We are sorry the Legislature put the
item for tie Governor in the bill, be-
lieving it will be taken advantage of by
His Excel, cy as an excuse for yetoing
the entire appropriation, the bill being
vitiated by this single item of 50 $50.
That the Governors salary is in
Sufficient and niggardly no one will
deny: but that it is so is not
the fault OF the Territory, and
with the Congressional prohibition
hanging over it the Legislature cannot
lawfully remedy the nations stinginess.
That the Governor was given $1,000 two
years ago and took it, does not make
the appropriation lawful. # this money
can be voted to the Governor, the Secre-
tary can also be literally provided for
and his miserable salary of 81 300 year
brought up to $1,000. There is more
reason for appropriating money
to the underpaid Secretary than
giving it to the Governor, as the
former officer is compelled to per
form most. of the labor of both
oncas, the Governor having practically
nothing to do except during the sixty
days of the biennial session of the Leg
islature.
1t has been apparent from the open
ing of the session that the Governor did
not intend to permit any appropriations
to be made. his scheme being to report
to Congress that the Legislature having
failed to provide for carrying on
the Territorial government, Congress
should make provision for assuming
absolute control here, depriving the
people of all voice in the management
and contro. of their local affairs; we
therefore regret that Murray has been
given so plausible an excuse as this
unlawful appropriation presents for re-
fusing to attach his signature to the bill.

THE APPROPRIATION ELL has gone to
the Governor for his veto. Two years
ago an item of 81, 900 for the Executive
secured an approval of the appropria-
ton; the present bill contains present
of 50 $50 for His Excellency, but it is
not thought the bait is big enough.
Executive approvals have risen in the
market, IN the opinion of His Excellency
the advance being more than $3.50.
