excessively painful method of dying. The
death caused BY what is called the long
Drop" whereby the neck is broken by the
weight of the body falling considerable
distance and choked by the rope, is re-
gsrded as much more productive Of suffer
ing; and this mode Of execution has often
been denounced BY the London Lancet as
not peedlessly cruel, but wholly unwsr-
rsnted By the law of England, which in
tends that murderers shall be killed by
srrangulstion, and not BY having their
necks broken.

evils which working-men suffer-h the
laws are responsible for monopoly. the
laboring mans enemy, the toiier should
correct the evil and overcome his en-
envy through the polls. The right OF
the individual to spend his money
where he pleases cannot be be disputed,
but unfortunately for the boycotters
they do not recognize it. The Rich
mond Knights will be an exception
if they do not stultify themselves
by trying to prevent other people
from doing the very thing they
(the Knights) declare they have a tight
to do. namely. to spend their money
when they please. The ballotbox and
the boycott are the two powerful weap-
ons in the hands of the laboring men,
but they must use them consistently,
or they will be weak and Intellectual.

The Olsen Concert.
itor of THE HERALD.

To the Editor Of THE HERALD.
1 am very glad to see that q few of
our citizens are about TO show their
appreciation for Prof. Olsen and his
excellent band. 1 think it good idea.
He has played here for many years,
but IL has always been, what will you
charge to play for US to-night:" MOTH ng
more.
Now, no one can deny that Olsen fur
nishes the best dance music of any baad
in the city, and what does q dance
amount to unless you have good music Z
Prof. Olsen and his assistants have al
ways been courteous and obliging, and
have done their work fully as cheap as
any other band would have done il.
Now let US also show them that they
are considered musicians and not as so
many "Workmen." i think il would
be good thing il the presidents or
some other energetic members of the
different clubs for whom this band has
played would talk it up among the
members OF their respective clubs, and
then let each member make il his indi-
viduel business to do all he can 10 give
Prof. Olsen such q benefit as he de-
serves.

ANOTHER PLAN.

Professor Reese, of the Vanderbilt
University, com>s forward with a new
method for selecting Presidents for the
United States. His method is this:
Every seven years take the names Of
the ten Senators having been longest in
commission in the Senate, and put
them in q hat: then have a blind boy
thrust his hand in the hat, and the
name he first draws shall become the
President Of the United States: the
-vice-President to be chosen from ten
members Of the House in the same man
ner. That would simplify our Presi-
dental elections considerably, but il
would rob the boys polite OF lots of
fun. 1t might give US just as good
Presidents, too, a. we get now under
our present system and Democrats and
Republicans would stand an equal
chance of getting there, /" but it would
deprive the American politician of bis
life, flor you DO take his life when YOU
DO take the means by which he lives. ("
Though American politics Is a blind
game as now played, let us have no
men without eyes choosing our presi-
dents. II any change is made in our
present system let the people choose
the President BY voting directly for him
instead OF choosing electors.

MONDAY WAS the day appointed for
Gladstone's home rule to come to its
second reading. The House Of Com
mons was crowded, and when the
Premier arose he was greeted with
great applause. He moved the second
reading of the bill, but said he would
not ask the House to debate the bill
from day to day at present. Gladstone
appears 70 be in no hurry about his
great measure. He seems perfectly
willing to allow his opponents plenty OF
time to marshal their forces against
him. Doubtless he is confident that as
the people become better acquainted
with his scheme. the more apparent to
them will become the wisdom and JUS
tice of it. He is expecting likely that
an appeal viii yet have to be made to
the people on the question, and he is
DESTROYS that passion should subside.
and reason dictate the judgment of the
country when the measure shall be ap-
pealed 70 them.

PROVO POINTS.

THE BIO snow slide across the road in
Provo Canyon is yet about twenty -five
feet high Tor dsepl which makes II q lit
tie difficult to pass with heavy loads,
otherwise the road is in a tolerably good
condition.
The SEASON of wet weather and bad
roads seems 70 be over. and the scenery
IN the valley ana on the mountains Is
rlvaling the most beautiful OF painted
landscapes, not excepting the drop cur
tain in the Provo Theatre.
THE NAY day performance at the
theatre was repeated last Saturday
night, the occasion being a compliment

DAKOTA.

Congress appears to be very reluctant
States. Dakota has population much
larger than IS necessary to entitle her
to Statehood, and the delay on the part
of Congress is q grievance of which
Dakota may justly complain. Why
the government should be so unwilling
to grant to her Territories the privi-
leges of Statehood is not easily under
stood. unless both parties recognize in
the Federal patronage the Territories
afford convenient opportunity to re-
ward their political friends. But while
that may be convenience to the party
in power it is far from being just to the
people in the Territories. Territorial
vassalage at the best is but very i'm
perfect system of local self-government
the great primary principle under
lying American institutions. The
denial of local self-government to n
people is the denial Of everything neces
sary to their development and liberty.
