The habit of fceding cows bran,

the leavings until it sours, mildews,

should have a box separate from the
manger. ten inches deep. twelve inches
square on the bottom, and faring to
sixteen inches on the top. If these are
frequently rinsed with brine they will
keep sweet and the cattle will lick the
box clean at every feed. -RuraI New-

instead of making party capital out of the

When these Senators demanded that
the Executive transmit to them for their

have been fully convinced that their de-

Ignorance" he displayed in giving such
definition of this particular word.
For long time past the News has been
in the habit of t'aily 'refuting" the
opinions of the Federal Courts in Utah,
and on more than one occasion it has
"refuted"-to its own satisfaction, at
least-the opinions and decisions OF the
Supreme Court of the United States, hold
ing that the distinguished gentlemen who
sit upon that bench have decided certain
laws to be valid under the Constitution
when even Digger Indian-aided by
Mormon revelation-would have known
better. What wonder, then, that the
News should have revealed unto it, in
these latter days, that Noah Webster
was blankety old idiot, who didn't even
know the true meaning of the word
'criminal?'
Verify, we are peculiar people.

HE WAS AN OLD FOOL.


According to the Neacs, Noah Webster
was an old fool, who did not know the
meaning of the words which he attempted
to define in his dictionary. For instance,
the Ne'rs says that the men who are con-
victed of the crimes of polygamy and un-
lawful cohabitation, and sentenced to
terms of Imprisonment in the penitenti-
airy, "are not criminals!'' The Nescs'
definition of the word criminal how
ever, is not the same as that given bv
Mr.. Webster, who says that ga criminal
is person who has committed an offense
against law; especially, one who is found
guilty by verdict, confession or proof"
Mr.. Webster, it may be remarked,
was not an apologist for crime and GRIM
inals, and this fact may account for the,

The Mound Builders Again.

From strictly utilitarian point of view
it probably doesn't much matter whether
the original inhabitants of large part of
this continent were indigenous to the soil
or entered it from Asia by way of Beh-
rings straits or the Aleutian islands and
passed down the Mississippi valley to
Mexico, or came from Central America
up through Mexico and the Mississippi
valley and took their departure by the
northwest route. From historical and
scientific points of view there is consid
cradle interest in the question, and by
general consent the existence of mounds
with peculiar characteristics at points
along the supposed line of travel has
bearing on the solution of the problem.
Who the mound builders were, when
they lived, why they built the mounds
and what relation the mounds of different
peculiarities and in different localities
have to each other has been the subject
of much investigation and discussion.
A movement is on foot in Montreal by
leading scientists to obtain from the Do
mlnlon government means to defray the
expenses of systematic and thorough
exploration of the northern mound sys-
tenn before tine mounds are leveled by the
plow of the settler. During last summer
a well known archaologist explored sew
eral districts in the southwestern part of
Manitoba with a view of ascertaining if
the known northern limits of the mound
builders remains could be extended. |
Some interesting and valuable data were
and number of mounds were
found on the Pembina river and on
the chain of lakes west of it. Two |
mounds on the Red river were opened in
October and valuable veins discovered,
ornaments cut from sea shells
peculiar to southern wates. The struc-
lure of the mounds was found to be
nearly Identical with that of the famous
ones of Ohio and the lower Mississippi.
It was also discovered that continuous
inc of mounds extended from the central
to Lake Winnipeg. A large
,roup has been discovered on the Rainy
liver, in Ontaria, and the Montreal SCI
'ntists think the evidence secured goes
ong way to prove that the problem whose
olution has been SO long sought for by
American archaologists will be settled

MR.. MORRIsoN's TARIFF BILL.

The prospect for the passage of the
Morrison tariff bill at this session of Con-
gress is not very favorable one, and
unless the proposal to strike the tariff of
lead ores shall be eliminated from its pro-
visions, the people of this western coun-
try will hope that its passage at any fu-
ture session will become an impossibility.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun, treating of the probable
action of Congress in respect to the silver
and tariff bills, says it is safe to predict
that the present coinage of silver will con-
tinue undisturbed, and as to Mr.. Norris
on's tariff measure, the following reasons
are given why Congress at this session
should refuse to give it favorable consid-
Grafton
The revenues from customs have fallen off
$50, 100000 as compared with 1884. A recent
decision of the Supreme Court may make
reduction of $4,000, 900 or $40, 600, 900 for the
coming fiscal year.
The appropriation for pensions will be
increased $15, 900 900 for next year. Forti-
tications will get larger grant than ever
before. Rivers and harbors expect twelve
or more millions. The new navy is reckoned
at $10, ,O00, 900. Here is total in round num-
bers of $50, ,000, 900 for items not included in
the expenditures for the running year. If
the so-called education scheme should sue
cessfully run the gauntlet of opposition,
there would be a drain of $7O,GO0,0OO more
on the Treasury.
These facts are not to be discarded in con-
sIderlng any bill which proposes to reduce
the receipts from customs $50, 600 900 at one
dash, because, if the appropriations should
be made, the surplus in the Treasury would
not only disappear, but the Secretary, in
stead of calling in bonds for redemption
would be compelled to borrow money until
the revenues could be again increased.

Why is this thus? A man arrested on

Why is this thus? A man arrested on
warrants charging him with attempting to
commit murder by soliciting another man to
perpetrate three dastardly assassinations,
and yet there is not law enough in Utah to
reach him? There is something about this
that the average mind fails to comprehend,
unless it be that the complaints sworn to do
not charge the alleged offense in proper
terms. The interests of society demand
that wretches engaging in such damnable
plots must be made to fully answer therefor,
and if they cannot be held on one complaint,
it is to be hoped that other forms may be
resorted to which will accomplish that end.
The officers whose lives are threatened owe
it to themselves, as well as to the community
to leave no stone unturned to
reach the fends who can thus deliberately
plot the destruction of human life.

CAPTAIN HARRY E. RULoN, of Philadel-
phia, late of the United States Mint, has
in his possession a shovel which for seven
years was used for no other purpose than
transferring the silver coin of the realm
from drying pan into boxes. By con-
slant use of the implement about an inch
and a half was worn from its blade, thus
rendering it useless for raising precious
metals. During the seven years of its
use, according to calculation made by
the chief clerk, Captain Rulon handled
the almost fabulous sum of 1892, ,OOO, 900
with that shovel. The Captain purchased
it from the Government for 25 cents, and
is now using it in his coal bin.
