Burlington, N. j., the other day. y

turned from that town. ''The young

a parson who Is an old acquaintance

wor. that he asked me to stay and
see him tie the young lovers who had
come there across the river from the
Keystone state. The hall was filled
with waiting couples. and the minis
tiers study and parlor had all they
could hold comfortably. The green
country chaps aud fellows from the
villages enjoyed the jam ever so much,
and the girls giggled and accepted the
situation good naturally. As fast as
one couple were pronounced husband
and wife all the others offered them
their congratulations, although in
nearly every case the parties had
never seen one another before.

A MAN was seized with an epileptic
6t in the streets the other day, where
upon a kindly disposed policeman
darted into a neighboring grocery aud
asked for handful Of salt, which he
forced into the poor fellows mouth.
The operation was approved by some
OF the spectators, who complimented
the policeman upon his knowledge OF
Just what to do" in such cases. "Oi
all popular remedies, - said a pAysi-
cian who was questioned on the sub
ject, that of choking a man with
salt just because he has a fit is the
most senseless and barbarous. In some
cases ii would do serious injury, and
might cause death. Hystero-epileptics
are troubled with a choking sensation
and spasmodic conractions in the
throat, which interfere greatly with
breathing and swallowing. To crowd
salt into it is a foolish and ignorant
proceeding"

President of the United States, James
A. Garfield" Crump was paid in full for
his services as steward of the White
House, and even allowed an advance,
but he had something TO do with Gar
field, and therefore imagines that he is
entitled to larger grab at the public
treasure. The injuries which
he sustained seem to consist in
the gentleman having been dis
charged from his stewardship soon
af er Arthur became President, the
catering of that gentleman not being
satisfactory to Garfield's successor, who
wanted a French chef. If Crump's
bill is to be paid 1t should be with a
proviso. that any person who hereafter
presents claim against government,
based on his connection with the late
lamented President. shall be sent to

THE HERALD has been asked to ex-
plain why the Compression al appropri-
alton of 1000 towards the erection OF
a new government Penitentiary in Utah
has not been drawn and the work be-
gan. We cannot say, positively, as to
the matter; however, we may state the
Supposed cause for the delay. Last
spring it was alleged in Washington
that the work would not be commenced
until there was change in the marshal
ship, the presumption being that it was
not the purpose to entrust the expendi-
ture of the money to a Republican
official. AS there has been no change
in the Office. and the appropriation re
mains in the treasury. it is inferred tina t
the gentlema an who made the assertion
as to the expenditure of the appropri.
alton knew whereof he spoke.

If THERE really were a conspiracy to
murder Mr.. Dickson, The HERALD
hopes the facts will be brought out and
the conspirators punished as the en-
ormity of the crime demands. On the
other hand. if it should transpife that
there had been no conspiracy. and that
the assault upon the District Attorney
was simply the foolish, unpremeditated
act of an indignant. thoughtless boy, it
is also hoped that Mr.. Dickson and
those engaged with him in making up
the conspiracy sensation, Will be manly
enough to frankly admit that they were
mistaken. This seems only fair. and
the District Attorney certainly would
not like to do anything that was unfair.

QUEER REASONING.

The newspapers of the country quite
generally are treating the arrest of
President George Q. Cannon as If it
meant the collapse of the Mormon
church. No one has assumed to say
that Mr.. Cannon will quit the church
now that he has been arrested, and no.
body suggests that the gentleman vii
be less Mormon under arrest5 than he
was when at liberty; yet many of our
esteemed and unesteemed contempor-
aries are treating his capture as indicat-
ing the immediate downfall of the
church as a matter of course. If the
gentlemen of the press would be more
explicit and give some reason for the
hope that is in them, they would come
nearer to satisfying their readers. Out
here in Utah, where people should be
excused for assuming to know some
thing of the Mormon church and its adj
hesive forces, and to understand
a little of the relations between the
organization and its individual II en-
bers, there is general inability to com
prehend how the arrest of Mr.. Cannon
will in any manner tend to the disrup-
ton or destruction of the church. On
the contrary, the popular idea seems to
be that the effect of the capture of the
gentleman named will have tendency
to unite more closely. rather than to
disintegrate the organization. There is
perhaps no man who exercises a
greater influence in the Mormon com.
munity than President Cannon. His
influence has not been destroyed or de-
creased by his arrest, and we fail to see
why it should be; but it is easy enough
to understand why his power to hold
the people together, and more firmly
unite the church, if this latter were
possible, should be increased by reason
of the circumstances noted.
The men who suggest that the arrest |
or Imprisonment of any man can destroy |
a church do not understand human |

CHINA WILL RETALIATE.

The information comes that at last
the Chinese government is about to IL
situte retaliatory measures against
Americans in that empire. For
twenty years or more China has seen
her people in this country abused,
beaten, driven out, robbed and even
killed; the indignities have been borne
uncomplainingly the empire knew
there was a solemn treaty in existence
which guaranteed to the people OF
China i'll this country protection in
their persons and purses, and it had
faith and confidence in the honesty and
ability of this great nation to make good
its treaty obligations. On her own part
China lived up to the treaty with a
sacredness and fidelity which COM
manded the admiration of the
world. The most complete protection
was afforded to Americans in China; +
an American were injured there by the
Chinese, either physically or financially,
the government was prompt in making
satisfactory reparation. Many thousands
Of dollars have been awarded and paid
TO Americans for injuries received in
China; but who ever heard of dollar
of American money been given to a
Cninaman as indemnity for the loss OF
property or injury to his person by
American mobs2 a hundred Chinese
have been robbed, beaten and NAL
treated IN this country for
every American in any manner hurt
in China. For every instance of the
literal disregard of the treaty by the
Chinese there have been ahundred more
fragrant violations of the solemn obliga
ton in America.
1t is now announced that the Chinese
are being advised and notified to return
home as soon as possible, when friendly
relations between the two nations will
be broken off, and Americans driven
from China. That this action was not
taken long ago, proves the spirit OF for
bearancc, of justice and of integrity |
is far better developed in the
less elevated and less advanced race. |
Had the Rock Springs affair occurred in |
China with Americans for victims the |
news would have been here not more |
than twenty four hours before many
Chinese would have been sent to their
long homes, and every man wearing a
queue gone into hiding.
The treatment which the Chinese
have received in America will be an
everlasting shame and disgrace upon
the American nation and people. 1t
has been understandable, and unrepub-
lican, and dishonorable, besides being
cowardly and cruel. We have no more
respect or affection for the Mongolians
than Denis kearney entertainS for
them, but while the republic holds out
a standing invitation to all law abiding
people of whatever color, race or condl- |
ton to come here, and while there is a |
standing spledse on the part of the
nation to afford protection to all who
come here and obey the laws, we hold |
that the Chinese should be accorded all |
the rights and privileges that are con-
eeded to other foreigners.
China cannot De blamed for institut- |
ing and applying vigorously retalistory |
measures against citizens of the Amer
lean republic residing in the Empire.
