referred recently to tho noteworthy address Of
Dr Marcus Dods before the PanProsbyterian Confer
ence in which he declared that all parts Of the Bible
arc not equally inspired. Although DR.. Dods Is

the regiment gave General Sheridan reception at
the theatre. -, .,,

On being answered that that was the man, General
Shei dan said

saved my life. gentlemen"
He then told the story of their old time friendship
When Sheridan was young cavalry officer on the bor-
der Blyth private In his troop. One day the
troop had a spirited hand hand fight with the
Indians. -
Sheridan, as usual was in the thickest and just as
he was swIshing his sabre over the head of a red

Indian lassoed the General around tho neck
In another moment he would have been pulled OIL

ton. However, the Judge called up the
case on Wednesday, and said enough to
let it be understood that the railroads
were not their own masters in the mat
ter of the interchange of freight, but
that they were compelled under the law
to accept and transport So b cars of
connecting lines as were offered. This
should quiet the Brotherhood as to
striking on those roads with which they
have no other grievance than the fact
that such lines do not boycott the Bur-
Iington. If the roads are forbidden by
law, under severe penalties, to comply
with the requests of the strikers, the
latter should be reasonable and not
press their demands.
Judge Gresham's hints should also
suggest to the Brotherhood the pro-
priety of calling off the strike on the
Burlington. The engineers are not big
enough to fight that company single
handed. If the society could have in
duced, by threats or otherwise, the con-

A DISHONEST DISGUST.


New York society is INDUCING in one
of its periodical bushes. New York
society does blush occasionally. the
reader must understand. At the same
time the reader should know that the
blush is for appearance, and rarely pos
sesses merit. The occasion of the pre-
sent rush of blood to the head is the
performance there OF the new French
play OF LA Tosca." Fanny Davenport
purchased the American right to the
play for an immense sum, the reported
price being $4,000. 1t was duly and
extensively advertised, and few nights
ago was put upon the boards in grand
and realistic style. The next day the
papers denounced it yariously, the
majority opinion of the critics being
that it was brutal. coarse, disgusting
revolving and atrocious. The following
night society was fairly wild to see
play which was so bad as to disgust the
critics. Everybody went and every
body blushed. IAN outrage on Anne
rican decency" is what LA Tosca" is
called, and decent Americans rush TO
see the outrage. 1t is called immoral,
repulsive and irreligous, and the moral,
refined and religious pay their money to
witness it. Miss Davenport will soon
get back the money which she paid for
the play, unless Anthony Comstock
shall step in in the interest of morality
and ORDER its withdrawal from the New
York stage; in which event Fanny will
go upon the road, and instead of dis
gushing" New Workers will disgust the
people of the nation.
All of which will 90 to prove that
while we claim to be more moral than
the French, to be purer in thought, in
sentiment and in department, We are
really not much better than they. Sarah

There is Just one way for Americans

novels, and that way is to neither pat

We ought not to pose as moralists and

of such plays as LA Tosca," and |
eagerly reading such books as those of
lola. The modesty which is seeking |
opportunities to be disgusted in order |

Fanny Davenport and her play while
making her rich, are neither virtuous'

CHIEF ARTHUR says the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers now on strike
want to arbitrate, and that they will
abide by whatever decision the arbitra-
tors agreed upon may arrive at; he de-
nounces the managers of the road be-
cause they will not agree to his PROPOSE
ton to submit the dispute to the adjust
ment OF disinterested parties. If the
dispute were as to the Interpretation OF
right or law in the case, Mr.. Arthur
might be commended for asking arbi-
tration, but that doesn't happen to be
the case. The railway company. as it
has the legal and moral right to do, as
master OF its own, offers certain pay
tor certain work; the engineers, as they
have the legal and the moral right to
do, reject the offer and refuse to work
and there the matter ends, there being
absolutely nothing to arbitrate. The
company coerces nobody, and ought
not to be coerced by anybody. The
trouble with Arthur is that he thinks
he has the right to hire and be hired, to
act in the capacity of employer and en-
ployee.

WITH OUR dry roads, green grass
swelling buds and warm sun We in
Utah can, only by giving imagination
full swing, understand how terrible has
been the storm throughout the eastern
and middle States. People freezing to
death in the streets of New York, and
hundreds of railway trains showed in
for days, within hail of the big cities
are things which will encourage the
residents of the blizzard-swept plains
of the northwest to believe that their
country is not the very worst on earth.
Ofcourse no one can foretell the pranks
which nature, in her peculiar
moods, may play; it is possible
that Utah will some day be
disturbed aud hurt as the
countries north, south, east and west
have been, but the generations which
have come and gone without affecting
this Territory with biizzards, earth
quakes, floods, extraordinary snow
storms or excessive heat or cold, con-
firm the belief that this is the favored
spot of America. The people who come
here to find homes and protection
against natures violence, are wiser
han those who stay away.

IT IS said that in Reading and other
Pennsylvania cities many railroad
laborers who were thrown out of work
by the miners strike are still idle and
in want. Their misfortune is not the
result of any fault of their own, but
they are suffering from the meanness
of others. The strike is the working
mans worst enemy; it hurts him and
his friends most.
