favorably by the proper committee and
its provisions are endorsed by majority
in each House, who would gladly vote
for it ii it could be reached during the

position at the time OF adjournment that
it will be among the first bills considered
at the next session OF Congress, with
scarcely the shadow OF doubt OF its tri-
umphant passage. 1t is but few months
to wait, and the law-abiding people OF
Utah who have borne SO long with the
reasonable methods and soul-sickening
practices of the dominant element, can
surely afford to abide with patience for a
little while longer, under the inspiring
assurance Of speedy release from Their
political bondage. 1t is, OF course, bit
ter disappointment that the matter should
be thus delayed, but neither complaint

past nor effect the future. Wait with pa

MUST WATT WITH PATIENcE

The chances almost amount to GER
tainty that the Tucker bill will not pass
Congress during the present session.
The adjournment is set for next Wednes-
day, and even if the bill should pass the
Lower House, the amendments would
have to be concurred in by the Senate
before it could become law. These
are SO numerous and 50 change the gem
eral tenor OF the original bill that they
would naturally give rise to considerable
discussion and delay final action beyond
the limit fixed for the continuation OF the
session. The work OF this Congress in
connection with Utah matters, although
not altogether satisfactory, is by no
means discouraging. 1t was hoped, and
for time believed, that such legisat-
ton would be accomplished before the
adjournment, AZ would enable the loyal
people Of Utah to effect such political
revolution in the Territory as is neces-
sary to bring it under the same form OF
local government as other dependencies
OF the Federal Union. While this has
not been done, long step has been
taken in the right direction. Public in
terest has been awakened. The people
in the East have been made to better
understand the deplorable condition of
affairs here. They realize the iniamy OF
the moral and political code OF the rul-
perative necessity for such heroic meas
ures as will wrest from the leaders OF the
Mormon Church the control of the local
government, which has 50 long enabled
them 10 wage successful opposition to

THE G. A. II. MEN.

The trains of yesterday and to-day,
came TO our city laden with hundreds uf
the & A. X. from all parts OF the
country, en- route to San Francisco.
They will stop over few days, and al
ready our streets are an animated specta-
Gle, by reason OF the crowd of visitors
and the crowd oi spectators. These gray
bearded men OF the G. \. X. are the rep
rcscntativcs OF the Nations valor and pa
triotism, and the most powerful words OF
tongue or pen are dwarfed into nothing
ness in comparison TO the trumpet
tongued tale they silently tell, OF giving
their breasts rs bulwark Tor the ma
| tional defense, when Freedom trembled
in the balance and the existence OF the
Union was so sorely menaced by treason.
1t is the custom to view these men in the
| light OF heroes, through their wonderful
assaults of opposing forces i'll battle, and
it is proper that it should be SO, but the
men who We're there and know the story,
will remember heroes in hospitals, on
the march, in the winter SHOWS and
summer rains, victims OF the pestilent
fevers, just as gallant, brave and chival-
ric, as those who bore the brunt of the
fight. We allude to the heroes who
knew and practiced self-denial to the end,
that the young and weak might be made
comfortable and chee red on to mans
work though only boys in years and
stature. Those of the men Of to-day who
can look back on help and cheering
words given on the painful march and in
the battle, will bear us out, that the men
who gave either were the greatest heroes
of the day. 1t is difficult mental feat
to transform the sedate old man now on
our streets, with dimmed sight and halt
ing step, into the youthful impetuous
soldier, rifle in hand, firing directly into
the enc mics ranks, enveloped in storm
OF hurtling shot and shell, and stopping
always to cheer up some faint-hearted
comrade or to speak the word OF conso.
lation to the dying one. Such noble
men are numerous among the rank and

with others which causes the heart of the
younger man to beat high with gratitude
and kindly rememberances when he
meets them on the street. They should
be honored as no men OF the day are
honored, for they are passing away tc
the final roll call, and sooner than we
realize, they will be beyond human hon
ors. While these men are with and q
part OF MS, it is duty we owe to oui
manhood and our love OF country, to so
strew their paths with kindnesses, that
when they shall have returned to theii
own tiresides, they can say with truth tC
those around them, "the people of the
West, appreciating our services, treated
us rs friends, and We feel our services
are fully repaid in gratitude and kindly
Offices" Let every man, and woman
too, feel him and herself specially de
tailed to do some little act OF kindness
or courtesy to any member of the bant
they meet, 50 that all such little individ
ual acts may make large, round whole
in their lives, and send them on their
road, rejoicing at having met and asso-
ciated with the liberty-loving, loyal peo
pie of Utah.

The draping of the Tabernacle in
mourning, the playing OF dirges and other
manifestations OF funereal woe by the
brethren on the Twenty-fourth, if rightly
construed, were pertinent, significant and
eminently proper. 1t was graceful re-
cognition of the fact that their beloved
institution is in its death throes, and they
exercised excellent judgment in hasten
ing its obsequies.

CHAIRMAN TUCKER

1t is n matter oil regret that the Tucker
! bill could not have been given the time
i'll the House allotted to the constitutional
amendment prohibiting polygamy, The
latter is all well enough as a national ex-
preston OF the people upon the subject,
but practically it will amount to but lit
tie in Utah, even VIXEN il takes effect,
which cannot be for number OF years at
least. Even if the amendment was in
force to-day it would require similar leg
islation to the Tucker bill to render it ef-
fective. The Constitution rs it now
stands is amply broad enough to
enable such legislation rs will
wipe ont polygamy and treason
in Utah, and as that is the object to be
attained, the speediest means should
have been adopted 10 effect it. There is
no evidence that Chairman Tucker is re-
sponsible for preference being given
to the amendment over the bill, He is
not a member of the Steering Commit
tee, and there has never been word in
the press dispatches, associated or
special, which indicated that he was given
his choice, and the structures upon his
course upon that matter by daily paper
here We're based evidently upon partizan
conclusions and inferences, unsupported
by proof Mr.. Tucker has evinced his
sincerity in the Utah matter in a manner
which leaves no room for question, lie
has labored most earnestly and faithfully
to produce bill which would meet the
approval OF a majority OF the members OF
both Houses and at the same time meet

A farmer living few miles from
Austin, whose wife was troubled with
an aching tooth, decided one day to
come to town with her for the purpose
of having it extracted. The pair took
a seat in the cars, and soon after the
train started the farmer walked forward
into the smoking car, telling his wife
he would be back directly. While her
husband was absent the conductor
came leisurely along. ticket punch in
hand. and approaching the old lady,
reached over for her ticket, whereupon
the victim of the toothache opened her
mouth and caught him. saying: .'You

Superfine English.

1t is tho Nemesis of pedantry to be al
ways wrong. Your true prig of pedant
goes immensely out of his way to be
vastly more correct than other people,
and succeeds in the end in being vastly
more ungrammatical, or vastly more
illogical, or both at once. The COM
mon pronunciation, the common idiom,
the common meaning attached to a
word, are not nearly good enough or
fine enough for him; he must try to get
at the ori ginal sound, at the strict con-
struction, at the true sense-and he
always manages to blunder upon
something far worse than the slight
error, if error it be, which he attempts
to avoid in his supertine correctness.

Nestor of the Con ngregational Church in
New England. One day while enter
tanning a company of friends at, his
home in New Haven, he was approached

as though not aware Ct the Interrupt

the stranger, and without giving time
for reply, continued: II, sir, am no less
man than Daniel Pratt-Daniel Pratt,
sir, the great American traveller

still more fervently. Eyes, sir, the great

A Primitive StOrehOuso.

Upon the plantation and near the
residence of Col. Seaborn Jones, known
as Mill-Haven. in Screven county,
Georgia, may be seen, in excellent con-
dition, one of those structures at a re-
mote period in general use among tho
southern Indians, and designed tor the
temporary preservation of dried fishes
and game. For quite century and q
half it has maintained its identity. 1t
is located upon the declivity of tho
right bank of Briar creek, in proximity
to that stream, and in the midst of o
beautiful forest of oak, holly, and pine.
Cylindrical in shape, this receptacle
has diameter Of eighty feet, and Is
about six feet deep. The excavation In
the ground was at first carefully and
regularly made; and when completed
it's sides and bottoms were covered
with uniform layer of well-kneaded
red clav four inches in thickness.
These clay walls, the interior surface
of which were pressed hard and smooth
are still nearly perfect. AS one looks
upon the structure it presents the ap-
pearanco of huge cylindrical terra

cognized, Uttered with fragments OF
earthenwarc, flint chips, spear and ar

this stream abounds in fishes, turtles,
and alligators; and its dependent
swamps at an early period were filled
with wild turkeys, deer, and other
game held in repute by the natives.

tacle, 1t was furnished with roof or

THE OLD WORLD.

Irish questions continue to crop up in
parliament more frequently because Mr..
Gladstone has postponed the announce
ment of his policy till April. Repeated
various ministers, produce little result.
Lord Spencer has explained away Mr.

military to enforce civil rights. Mr.:
Morley has further explained himself but
the belief has gone abroad, and to Ireland,
that the landlords win not be allowed to

RACES which tend to degrade Ireland before
the world is reported in full in the English
papers, which consider that it leaves
nothing to be desired at present, but only
regret that Mr.. Parnell has taken the same
line earlier.
It is stated that Mr.. Morly, cheief SEC
retary for Ireland, has 90 instructed the
police and military authorities as to
render it virtually impossible to effect
evictions. Archbishop Walsh Of Dublin
has written to Mr.. Gladstone that the
Irish bishops considered that the result of

he says the bishops believe that home rule
would not affect the union or the supreme

of evictions until the land question has
been settled.
