SCHOOLMASTER'S PLUCK.
HOW He Pushed His House Before Him
Through Northern Europe.
IN, Y. Sln.1

James Ricalton, school-teacher Of
Mapiewood, New Jersey, returned recent
| ly from remarkable journey through the
frozen north of Europe. He took his no
tel with him. He had portable lodging
house built, which contained sleeping
apartment and box for blankets anG
| necessaries. 1t was on threa wheels and
was pushed along. 1t had rubber avn
ing, which sheltered him in wet weather
In his baggage was a photograph APP
paratus. Mr. Relation travelled through
the section lying between Archangel and
st. Petersburg to obtain material for
| magazine articles.
A reporter found Mr. Ricalton at his
home in Mapew 90 ~ He is Scotch
American, and told the reporter that he
had travele | through France, Germany,
Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, Sweden
and Iceland on salary of eight hundred
dollars gear. Mr. Ricaiton left Maple
wood on June - for Liverpool. He went
to Archangel on a sailing vessel and was
two weeks in the Arctic Ocean.
The American Consul and the Governor
of the Custom House at Archangel warned
him against the wolves and escaped con-
vlcts from Siberia, but he travelled with
his peculiar vehicle through eight hun
dred miles of wild and desolate region,
armed only with a spear and revolver.
He found the wilderness full of large
and savage wolves, but was fortunate
enough to keep clear of them. Frequent
ly, when he awoke in the morning, he
would find his cart surrounded by ma
tives, who stared at him open mouthed.
The peasants he found simple and willing
to assist him. They obeyei his orders as
though he were a superior being. In the
city the people were different and treated
him with suspicion.
Mr.. Ricalton was frequently compelled
to hire horses to carry his wagon across
the marshes. At one time he was attacked
by arobber armed with club. 1t was in
the center of a dense wilderness, and the
robber laughed when the school master
put up his spear to defend himself. Mr..
Ricalton dropped the spear and brought
his revolver into play. He fired once, and,
although the bullet did not hit the robber..
1t frightened him and he disappeared.
Mr.. Ricalton reached st. Petersburg on
August II, a month after leaving Arch
angel. He also visited Norway and Swe-
den. He got back on the day his school
reopened. He says the trip cost him only
two hundred dollars.

Large French Families.

The number of French families with
seven living children is greater than
the Chambers supposed-when they Of
fered two years ago TO educate at the
expense of the State one son of every
family of five children. The law to
this effect is verv old one, but has
never until now been acted upon
Quite Unexpectedly, so many fathers
of seven children applied to the Minis
ter of Public Instruction that he was
compelled, i'm order not to exceed the
credit of 100000 francs granted him
by the Chambers, to limit the privilege
asked for to the most gifted of the boys
in question. Three hundred and four
awards were thus made, and next year
the Chambers viii in all probability

Conservative Deputies will favor the
plan of distributing this amount among
the families concerned in preference to
to the educational privilege, which
they contend is of doubtful value in
most cases, while the Radicals will
probably before long vote to have the
privilege extended to families OF six

in the ranks OF the mono-metallists,
whose sole object is and has been, for their
own personal gain, to keep down the
volume OF the monetary circulations oi
their respective countries, the better that
they could count upon greater demand
for their boarded wealth.
Even China and Japan, so the tele-
graph tells us, now favor the adoption ol
double standard. China's monetary
system is based on silver, but Japan has
clung to gold. In the light of present
developments, it is clear that no country
can prosper under the single standard
system. And as the gold product OF the
world is year by year growing beautifully
smaller and smaller, what alternative il

THE CANNON CASE.

Times without number George Q. Can
non, the man whose arrest for violations
of the Edmunds law has created such a
hubbub and excitement throughout this
Territory for the past three or four days,
has exhorted the people who looked
up to him as sheep look up to
their shepherd, ''to live their religion"
and let the consequence follow"
To Give their religion" in the sense
meant by this man, implied violation
OF the laws of the land; but what did
that matter, since the assurance was
given that the Lord so willed it, and the
Lord would protect this people in living
up to their privileges?
The events of the past three or four
days must have created at least doubt
in the minds OF the more intelligent ad-
herents of the Church as to Cannon's 3
sincerity in what he taught and preached.
One thing is certain, he, more than any
other man now living, whether sincere or
insincere in his professions, is responsible
for the great trouble which has
fallen upon the people of Utah, and
when his own turn came to face the
music, he skullsed away and sought to
avoid the consequences. 1t is hard to
believe that a man who honestly held
himself to be Gods mouth-piece, official
or semi-official, would or could be guilty
of such conduct.
Mr.. Cannon is now in the tolls of the
law, and, like other but less guilty men,
will doubtless be made to realize what it
is to break the laws of God as revealed
through the Congress of the United
States-for they are Gods laws,
though enacted by man. What
ever tends to degrade men, to
make men more gloomy, to waken in
them their passions, is against the will Of
God; whatever promotes the welfare ol
men, and is found to prove everywhere
and always beneficial, has the signet Of
God stamping it as right.
Mr.. Cannon is held, in bonds of $45,-
600, to answer for his acts. He is en-
titled to speedy and fair trial, and no.
body's prejudices, on the one side or the
other, against him personally or the or
ganization he represents, should be al
lowed to come between him and justice
We believe he will be Justly dealt by
and that will be sufficient.

1.-THE CHINESE MUST CO."

All over the Pacific Coast is being de-
veloped a most hostile feeling toward the
Chinese. In the States of California,
Oregon and Nevada, and in the Territor-
les OF Washington, Idaho, Montana and
Wyoming, the cry is heard-"The Chi
nese must gow And that cry must be
needed, too, else will there be such
scenes OF violence and bloodshed as have
not been witnessed in this country since
the close OF the war.
Time has proven that the Government
made great mistake in opening our
ports to unlimited immigration OF China
men. This being so, it is now the i'm
perative duty of the Government to
remedy the evil at once, and in the best
possible manner it can. No halfway
measures will suffice; the evil must be
effectually cured, even though the means
resorted to entail rupture of our COM
mercial relations with China. So press
ing is the demand for relief, and with so
much aversion is the presence OF China
men regarded on this coast, that the sim
pie prohibition OF Chinese immigration in
the future will not suffice; the demand
for relief has grown louder and louder
every year, until now, nothing short ol
the retirement OF all Mongols from this
coast will satisfy the white labor ele-
ment.
The Chinese evil is not understood in
the East as it is in the West, hence a
good deal of maudlin sentiment is in.
dulged in by Eastern journals when treat
ing on the subject. But talk as they
may, on this Coast the fiat has gone
forth, and the sooner the Mongols make
their way to the Eastern States or back
to China, the better will it be for them
and the Localities now afflicted by theil
presence. II the people Of the East de-
sire to hug the little brown man to theii
highly sympathetic bosoms, the people
OF this Coast will offer no objections

THE WRITING ON THE WALL.

eyes" said Marshal Ireland, in con-
versation with a DEMOCRAT reporter on
Saturday last, eve intend to arrest all
these indicted men, or to drive them out
Of the country" The vigorous manner
in which this officer, aided by his depu-
ties, is going about the work outlined
above, conclusively shows that in utter
ing the words quoted, no empty boast
was made. 1t is also apparent that in
carrying out to the end the programme
announced, Marshal Ireland will have
all the business he can attend to, aided
though he be by deputies who are inde-
fatigable workers, and who possess all
the other qualities most needed in men
engaged in that particular line of busi-
ness.
The work of indicting, arresting and
furnishing parties guilty Of offenses under
the Edmunds act has been going on quite
actively for eighteen months past, and
to-day the criminal dockets show that, at
the present and forthcoming terms, the
time of the three district courts will be
largely monopolized in the disposition of
this class of cases. At the pres
ent term of the Third District
Court, it is calculated that
over thirty convictions will be had, and
If that number is not reached it will be
no fault of the officers engaged in the
work OF prosecution. In the other two
districts correspondingly large numbers
of convictions will doubtless be had from
this time forward. With this showing
before them, and with the prospect of adj
ditional legislation by Congress which, in
effect, will disfranchise every adherent of
the Mormon Church, in or out OF polyg-
amy, how can the thinking portion of the
community here avoid reaching the con-
clusion, 80 apparent to all outside the
pale OF the church, that the Government
has finally and in dead earnest settled
down to the business of working a much
needed reformation in Utah social affairs.
The handwriting is on the WALL and all
who feel disposed may read and under
stand it.
And yet, where can be observed the
first sign OF relentment, the first symptom
of disposition on the part of these
erring people to cease their continuance
in practices 80 abhorred by civilized
nations, and persistence in which cannot
fail to bring down upon all concerned an
endless round of heart-burnings and al
most unbearable sorrows? Is any such
sign observable? Echo answers Not
withstanding the DEGREES of God
and the laws OF man-and the
latter are just as much the
laws OF God as were the sentences issued
from Sinai-they will not! Truly, the
end must soon come, and in pity to these

BEWARE OF THEM (!

Salt Lake City has long been the para
disc OF charlatans who, advertising them
selves as skilled members OF the medical
profession, have preyed upon the pockets
OF a too credulous public and sent many
q poor creature prematurely down to
death. This fact has been repeatedly
brought to the attention OF the Legisla-
tive Assemblies, but up to date nothing
in the way OF measure calculated to
protect the public from the raids and
wiles OF these unprincipled quacks, has
been thought worthy OF consideration.
The single fact that these frauds are

their incapacity and unreliability They
come here, heralded by the local prints
lin paid advertisements, Of course) as
eminent surgeons and physicians who
are in possession OF wonderful secret
remedies for all the ills which flesh is
heir to, and the public are often gulled
into believing that they really do know
something OF that which they profess so
much knowledge OF.
People should beware Of persons who
advertise "secret remedies" This fact
alone is ample evidence OF their unrelia-
bility, for no honorable member OF the
profession will withhold from the public
any means which he knows to be OF real
utility in relieving human suffering. Such
course is contrary to the accepted code
OF ethics of the medical profession; and
any member who violates not only the
code of ethics but every principle OF phil
anthrophy and morality, is in so doing at
once ostracised from the society OF reput-
able physicians as man unfit to beaI
the grave responsibilities OF the physician,
and unworthy of the confidence of his
fellow men.

THE OUTLOOK FOR SILVER.

The whole country seems to be agog on
the silver question, and it is now pretty
definitely settled that no Congressional
legislation of hostile nature against the
white metal is possible at the present ses-
sion. Telegrams from Washington state
that by a vote of to 3, the House Com
mittee on Coinage, Weights and Mea-
sures yesterday reported back adversely
Mr.. BANDS bill for unlimited coinage of
silver dollars. The friends OF silver
doubtless looked for such action on the
part OF the committee, and few have any
hope that the measure will receive favor
able consideration in the House. But one
thing clearly appears in this connection,
and that is, while it may not be possible
at the present time to secure the passage
OF bill providing for unlimited coinage
OF silver, it will be impossible for any
measure TO get through the House that
has for its object the suspension of silver
coinage.
We notice, too, that several European
and Asiatic nations now laboring under
the evils which single standard has
brought upon them, are anxious TO enter
into such negotiations us will enable
them TO increase their circulations by re-
sorting to the double standard system
This naturally causes much uneasiness

ever, when it was stopped was very
much in favor OF Smith.
