's IN UTAH THERE ARE NO PARTY
LINES"

On Jackson's Day the army officers at
Fort Douglas gave reception to the
Federal officials of the Territory. The
reception was one of those pleasant af-
fairs which army officers ever manage
with consummate skill. At the reception
a number Of speeches were made, per-
haps the most noticeable one of all being
the speech made by Surveyor General
Dement,. That which made this speech
noticeable was the following remark {:
''In Utah there are no party lines. 1
came here Democrat, but cannot but
regard the man who favors political di-
visions here Us one who does not grasp
the situation" This remark was dis
cussed considerably by all parties in the
town, and those who desire to see no
party divisions in Utah regarded GEN
eral Dement'S remark rs wonderous wise,
and it was said in his praise that he did
grasp the situation in Utah. We did not
agree with General Dement'S remark
when it was made and we do not agree
with it to-day. What we wish to call at
tention to is the laudation bestowed on
General Dement, for his knowledge of the
situation in Utah, for his "grasp" of it.
This laudation and grasp" must be
borne in mind to understand that which
follows. In another column will be found
telegram from Chicago which gives a
sort of summary OF the report which Gen
eral Dement, will make. That telegram
will be very interesting reading to many
OF the Federal officials, but We are in
clined TO doubt whether they will be SO
lavish in their praise OF General Dement,
when they read that he "claims that the
entire Federal system OF the Territory is
honeycombed with fraud" On what
grounds General Dement, makes such a
charge we do not know, but in this mat
ter he makes, according to this telegram,
a direct charge and charge that goes
home to the Federal officials Of
Utah. General Dement, will find that
he has not grasped the situation
in Utah ii he thinks he can express an
independent opinion on Federal affairs in
Utah and not be soundly berated by the
| very ones who have been telling him that
there are not party lines in Utah. He
will probably learn that there are no
party lines here and never will be SO long
as the Republicans, through prejudice
passion and assumed superiority. can
have things their own way; but General
Dement, will find that when he tells
that which CRATES upon the ears OF these
salf-same Republicans there are party
lines in Utah. And he will find further
that If he does not array himself
upon the Republican side he will
be placed upon the traitor side OF this
line, and he will be placed upon that side
because Sin Utah there are no party
lines" and the Republican ring in Utah
have taught the country to believe
that this is the case, and General Dement,
himself has accepted this false teaching.
The chances are nine out OF ten that those
who SO Iauded General Dement, for his
speech at Fort Douglas on Jackson's Day
will charge that he himself has been
bought by the Mormon church. "There
are more things in heaven and earth
Horatio, than are dreamed OF in your
| philosophy"

The Paraiy.sd and Epiieptic.

At the meeting of the British Medical
association, of Brighton, England, Vic
tor Horsley, F. T. s., surgeon to the
national hospital for the paralyzed and
epileptic, exhibited three patients treated
in that hospital, whose recovery may be
said to mark the commencement of a
new era in surgery. They are men who
have been suffering from severe epilep-
tic fits, and in whom Mr.. Horsley has
opened the skull and has removed dis
eased structure or new growth from the
brain itself. They had been operated
on not less than a month previously and
were sufficiently recovered to appear
before the association. After a study of
these cases il is claimed that what is
actually proved at present is that it has
become possible, by the observation OF
symptoms not only to determine the
fact Of the existence Of some morbid
growth within the skull, but also to
determine its precise position with such
accuracy that it can be cut down upon
and removed. II is also proved that
considerable portions Of brain may be
removed without injury, the functions
to which these portions are subservient
being performed after awhile, very pos
sibly, by corresponding parts Of the op
posite hemisphere.-Chicago Herald.

.Johp Pbpuix and Jeff Davis.

"John Phenix" and Jeff Davis.
When jeff Davis was secretary of war
under President Pierce. he sent circu-
lar letter to many army officers, inviting
them to furnish suggestions for change
Of uniform and equipment. One of these
invitations was sent to Lieut.. Derby, Q
good draughtsman and a merry wag.
who sent in response q proposition for
having two-inch iron ring appended
by piece of strong leather TO the seat
Of each enlisted mans trousers. Long
and formal specifications demonstrated
the utility of this ring. Each officer was
to carry, instead of sword, long
white-ash pole, with hook on one end.
BY hooking into the ring of private.
he could be kept in line of battle if he
was disposed to hang back, or caught II
he attempted to run away. The ring
would also be useful in the artillery serv-
ice for draught purposes, and in the cav
airy men could be locked to other rings
in their saddles and so keep from fall
ing off.

catching infantry stragglers and forcing
them into the ranks, dragons padlocked
to their saddles and artillerymen with
cannon prolongs hitched to their rings,
hauling huge pieces of artillery up steep
heights. 1t was very funny, and the
clerks in the war department enjoyed
some hearty laughs over it, but when it
reached the secretary he became indig-
nant, and regarded it as an Insult. He
ordered charges and specifications to be
drawn up, and q court-martial ;organ-
lied to convict, of course) was actually
ordered, when il came to the ears of
Governor Marcy, then secretary of state,
who was level-headed, and who advised
Davis to let the matter drop. He might
have convicted Derby and dismissed him
from the service, but he woull have
been laughed at from one end of the
country to the other. Davis, who pos
sessed a deal of common sense. took the
advice, and Derby's suggestions" are
still q be found on the files of the war
department. Derby, whose nom de
plume was John Phoenix" after a
merry life, died just before the war. His
son graduated at West Point, and is
now in the army, and his daughter is a

More Japanese Coming.

Mere and moae Japanese are coming
to this country every year, and they ar,
usually of an excellent order. They ar,
mostly between 10 and 25 years old. and
of the middle class, sdch as farmers,
storekeepers, etc. All of them are to AN
extent educated when they arrive. in
consequence Of the compulsory law OF
education in the empire. Their chief
object in coming is to gain complete
education and to study the manners and
customs Of the republic. which they
rightly regard as very practical. A
large part of them. on their return, OBJ
tain renumerative employment; the fact
that they have served an apprenticeship
in the United States putting premium
on their services. Certainly the bulk Of
Japanese on our soil will compare most
favorably with the native inhabitants of
the same grade. They are, as rule, far
more gentle, considerate, polite, and
wonderfully apt in acquiring new ideas.
They have made more progress in the
last half century than any other people
under the sun. New York Commercial

The First Lion Tanner.

Il remember the first time man ever
went into the lions cage" said Eaton
Stone, the veteran circus rider. 1T was
back in '2S-before Van Amburgh's
time. 1t was down in New Orleans.
His name was Lane, and he had charge
of a lion and lioness named Ajax and
Nance. One day Ajax took sick and
Lane determined to go into the cage and
physic and nurse him, satisfied that the
lion was too sick to do him much injury
should he seek to attack him. Ajax
showed such an appreciation of his kind
ness that he insisted on licking Lanes
hand with his tongue and rubbing his
head against his kness. / forgot to say
that before going into the cage Lane had
Nance partitioned off in one end of the
cage. While she seemed to understand
what Lane was doing for her mate and
appreciated the kindness as highly as he
did. Nance would try to get Lane to let
her lick his hand and paw him. and one
day he decided to go into the cage with
out shutting her off to herself. As he
expected, she was as affectionate as she
could be, and joined Ajax in his demon
strations of kindness and affection.
When Ajax recovered Lane announced
that he would go into the lions den, but
the public was afraid to come to the
show. The announcement of Daniel in
the lions den, religious exemplifica-
tion,' did not take. and there was no
such lithographinp and pictorial work
done in those days.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC TITLE.

On Monday last the highest legal
tribunal In the United states settled u
question that is II the utmost impor-
tauce to Miles City In common with
other towns located on what are term
ed railroad sections, along the line Of
the Northern Pacific railroad. This
was the celebrated Peronto case, In
which the heirs of half breed named
Peronto laid claim to 100 acres of land
now in the heart Of the city of Fargo
OH the ground Of pre- emptIon and set
Element prior to the date ON which
the railroads claim attached. The
decision Is too long for Us to reproduce,
but the gist of itIis contained in the fol-
lowing extract:
The land in controversy, aud other
lands in D.kota through which the
Northern Pacific railroad was to be
constructed, was within what Was
known as Indian territory. At the
time the act of July 2, 1854, was pass
ed the title Of the Indian tribes occu-
pying the country WAS not extinguish-
ed. but that fact did not prevent
the grant of Congress from operat.
ing TO pass the fee of the land
to the company. The fee was
in the United States. The In-
dians had merely right of occupan-
cy, right to use the land subject to
the dominion and control Of the gov
ernment. The grant conveyed the fee
subject TO this right of occupancy.
The railroad company took the prop
erty with this encumbrance. The
right of the Indians, IL 10 true, could
not be interfcred with or determined,
except by the United States. No pri-
vate individual could invade il, and
the manner, time and conditions of its
extinguishment were matters solely
for the consideration of the govern
ment, and are not open ~ contestation

THE STRIKES.

There was a collision between riot
ing strikers and deputy sheriffs who
were guarding railroad property in
East st. Louis on Friday afternoon of
last week, in which six or seven per-
sons were killed. On Friday night
number of cars and other railroad
property was destroyed by fire. Sew
eral companies of troops arrived dur
ing the night and were stationed at
the various depots and railroad yards.
Quiet was restored by daylight on
Saturday morning, and no more vio-
lent outbreaks have been reported
since, as sufficient troops have been
placed at that point topreserve order.
Seemingly a great effort is being
made to get the trouble between the
Knights of Labor and the railroads
settled, but they do not appear to be
any near solution now than two
weeks ago.
The right of men to quit work when
they become dissatisfied with their
positions cannot be denied, but they
have no right to interfere with other
wOrkmen, or to destroy the property
of their former employer, even
though that employer be a soulless
railroad corporation. Gould, with
the power his millions give him, may
be unscrupolous in grinding his en-
plOyes to the dust, the strikers may
have grievances against the railroads
which demand consideration, but
some of the actions and utterances of
the knights of Labor lin this strike
are rank with communism. This
spirit should be suppressed, and riot
ing law breakers and instigators of
such scenes as st. Louis has witness
ed, whether they be strikers or not,
Knights of Labor or otherwise, should
be made to preserve law and order if
it requires all the troops the United
States government can command.
Capital is just as essential in conduct
ing all the operations of business and
commerce as labor, and one is just as
much entitled to protection from the
state and general governments as the
other.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1886-04-17

THERE was a spirited debate in
Congress last Friday over the bill to
pay the McMimville and Manches-
ter Railroad foriron which was taken
up from the road during the war by
L. S. authorities, and sold back to the
road after the war. Hon. Jas. A..
Richardson led in defense of the bill,
and made an earnest, able argument
which elected unusual attention from
the House. The claim is just one,
and should be paid, but the discussion
upon it very forcibly developed the
fact that the Northern Democrats are
not overly loyal to the South in the
payment of even Just claims. 1t is
claimed that the Republicans have
been more liberal to the South in this
respect than Northern Democrats.
Messrs. Morrison and Randall, how
ever, are reported as being enthusias-
tic in their support of this particular
measure.
