TELLER AND LOGAN.

There seems to be diversity OF opinion
as TO the causes which led to the acri-
monious debate in the Senate the other
day between Teller and Logan when the
latter's pet army measure was under con-
sideration 1t is said by some that i'll
feeling has existed between the Senators
for years back, and that Teller is now i'm
proving the opportunity to pay off old
scores by representing Logan as the
champion OF measure which would un-
necessarily increase expenditures for a
snowy army, and at the same time serve
as notice OF intimidation to the Knights
OF Labor now engaged in strikes through
out the country. 1t is supposed that
Teller's object in this is to deal a death
blow at Logan's chances for the Presi-
dental nomination.
Then, again, it is asserted that Teller's
animus grows out OF Logan's support OF
the confirmation of Dement, as Surveyor
General for this Territory. Of course, it
is well known that Teller was bitterly OPP
pDStu 10 De1lellJ anu
gan's support OF the latter angered him
to such an extent that he threatened, un-
less the vote OF confirmation were re-
considered, to kick over the caucus traces
and hereafter vote on combinations with
out consulting the wishes OF his party
colleagues and in total disregard OF caucus
rules.
But whatever the motives may be
which actuate the Colorado Senator, it is
certain that he entertans very bitter
personal feeling toward Logan, and the
trouble is causing much uneasiness in
Republican Senatorial ranks. OF course,
the Democratic Senators are immensely
tickled over this family quarrel among
their Republican colleagues, and if they
do not egg it on to an irreconcilable
breach OF personal and official relations
between the principals, it will be only
because they do not get the chance.

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

In many cities beside Salt Lake, the
English sparrow is beginning to be looked
upon as q nuisance that ought to be
abated 1t is only a few years since these
alien birds were first imported here, and
under the protection OF an ordinance
which provides Il penalty for their de-
struction, their numbers have been aug
mented to such an extent rs to make it
necessary to put Il stop to any further in
crease, unless we want sparrows alone to
rule the roost, to the exclusion OF native
birds OF song and much prettier plumage,
whom the pugnacious English produc-
ton has well-nigh driven from the land.
The New York Legislature has just
passed bill which protects almost every
bird OF song that can be thought of, and
the only exception made is in the case OF
the sparrow, for whose benefit the follow
ing words are inserted in the bill ::
Nothing in this act shall prevent the
killing OF the English sparrow at any
season OF the year" This is pretty good
evidence that New Workers, as we'll as
Salt Lakers, have had all the acquaint-
ance with the English sparrow that they
desire to have.
But how can the nuisance be abatei =?
Mr.. John Burroughs, one OF the best
known of American naturalsts, and
whose love for every decent member OF
the bird family is well known, in answer
to inquiries recently made OF him as to
the best course to pursue in ridding local
tiles of sparrows, writes as follows:
find that people all over the country are
waking up to the fact that the sparrows are
u nuisance and must be put down. When
they ask me what is to be done, l reply:
Kill 'em, and make 'em into pot-pies.''
Four and twenty sparrows baked in pie
make an excellent dish, for l have tried it.
kill all the sparrows l can-shoot them
with fine shetland they are becoming very
shy about my premises.
In the city should advise you to forego
the pot-pie and poison them; soak oatmeal
or bread crumbs in solution of arsenic or
strychnia, and sprinkle it in your yards, or
on your housetops, or in the middle of the
streets. This method would soon fix them.
In sheer self-defence the people of towns
and cities will have to do something of the
kind before long. Very respectfully,
JOHN BURRoUGHs.

The Trouble with Samuel.

The Herald asks the forbearance OF the
public in its judgment of Sam Jones
these days. 1t is physiological fact that
tobacco is stimulant, and since Brother
Jones abandoned the habit OF chewing
it he has necessarily suffered more or
less depression. Particularly is plug to-
bacco a great tonic, imparting vigor and
buoyancy to the mind and strength and
suppleness to the muscles. A man who
has used tobacco in the form OF plug for
many years comes finally to depend upon
it as he would upon any other form OF
nourishment. When he is in q reflective
mood he chews, and as the juice streams
through the cavities OF his teeth great
ideas come TO him. When he is weak
and faint or half-hearted piece of plug
an inch square gives him the courage
and power Of lion.
Having deprived himself OF this stimu-
liant it is natural that Jones should be a
little less entertaining than usual. but,
once free from the influence, he will come
out more brilliant than ever. Were it
not for the confidence which the Herald
feels in this it would never have advised
the step that he has taken, and, seeing
the immediate effects OF it, it would not
hesitate now to urge him to begin again.

ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME.

In holding mass meetings throughout
the Territory for the purpose OF endorsing
the Woodburn bill and urging upon Con-
gress the necessity of giving it immediate
and favorable consideration, the citizens
OF Idaho are doing most excellent work
and proving themselves fully alive to the
pressing needs of the hour.
The evils which grow out OF and are
inseparlble from the domination OF State
by Church, have assumed such proper
tions in the Territories; and in Utah par
ticularly. that the American people have
at last had their eyes opened to the dan
ger that waits on further delay, and de-
mands that those evils shall be sup
pressed are pouring thick and fast upon
the members OF both branches of the
nationa1 Legislature. This same Wood
burn bin will afford all the relief that is
sought to be obtained, and in thus pub
licly testifying their appreciation of its
provisions, the men of Idaho are doing Il
service, not only to their own Territory,
but to Utah and the nation at large.
The rod is spared only to spoil the
child, So has the parent Government
dealt with Utah, A change OF treatment
is now inevitable. The "gloved-hand"
policy in dealing with affairs here has
proven to be such lamentabe failure
that LOW there is nothing left for it but
an application of the "iron-hand" policy.
But the Saints have only themselves to
blame. They have courted the chasten,
ing rod; the best interests OF the whole
nation demand that they shall exper-
ience its pains and penalties until they
can, in all humility and sincerity, cry

THE WRONG PASSENGER.

Mrs. Clemence S. Lozier, the New York
advocate OF woman suffrage, recently
mailed to the press OF the country copy
of her letter to Senator Edmunds, in
which she took that gentleman to task
Tor his proposal to disiranchise the women
OF Utah, In her ignorance OF the man
ner and OF the purposes for which the
feminine majority in Utah use the ballot,
Mrs. Lozier cries aloud against the sim
justice" OF the provisions of Senator Ed
munds' bill, and in note accompanying
ner letter to the press, she asks editors
everywhere to use their utmost influence,
by writing to the Chairman OF the House
Judiciary Committee and TO Representa-
tives in Congress, to prevent the disfran-
chisement OF her sex in this Territory.
Among other journals, copy OF Mrs.
Lozier's letter was received by the Port
land News, and the following shows with
what favor the editor OF that paper re-
ceiyed the lady's proposition: "The
NeWs being more familiar with the
question OF female suffrage in Utah
than Mrs Lozier, respectfully declines
to ask any one to prevent the disfran-
chisement OF women in that Territory.
Female suffrage, instead OF liberating
the women of Utah, has been the
means OF welding their chains more
firmly. The Mormon women dare not
use free ballot, and the Gentle women
care nothing about it. A greater farce
than female suffrage in Utah was never
perPetrated Mrs. Lozier can satisfy
herself on this point as thoroughly as
Miss Kate Field did by residing in that
country year, and thoroughly familiar,
izing herself with its workings"
