The soap is skinned from a boiling
spring, and hardens by exposure to the
air. 1t is like soft clay, and can be
gathered with shovel. It is supposed
to be a mixture of borax, alkali and lu-

Salt Lake manufactures, although
they are few in mum Der, have an excel
lent reputation, and most of them are
behind wi tn their orders. Owing 10
the large demand for iron columns and
other castings for buildings, the found
ries are fl, quently required to run
night and day. The glass works are in
full blast, and are turning out an i'm
mense number of fruit jars, bottles, ETC.
An industry that is assuming consider
able importance here is the manufac-
ture of cigars, and our local factorli S
are able to produce as good an article as
the larger factories east or west. Sam
Levy. who now employs force of
twenty men, says he is unable to keep
up with his orders, snd can give en-
Iloyment TO dozen more men.

AN INDEPENDENTS INTENTIONS.

Mr.. John II. Holiday, editor OF the
Indianapolis NtVs, an Independent
Republican paper, says: Il am
personal friend of General Harrison,
and will support him regardless of
other considerations, but the Chicago
platform is outrageous-the Republican
party has gone back on everything. 1t
was made for the extremists of The
party, and especially for Blaine. l do
not like it." This expresses the senti-
ment of few other Republicans who
haven't the courage to say what they
think. 1t probably expresses the feel
ing OF those independent Republicans
in Indiana who are personally
acquainted with General Harrison.
They detest the platform on which he
stands and were any other Republ cs.n
On that platform they would repudiate
the ticket. Whether or not, there
fore, General Harrison, can carry his
own State depends upon the number OF
his per sonal friends, like Mr.. Holiday,
among the independents. If there are
6.009 Of these he may carry Indiana.
1t willtake about that numb to oyer
come the Democratic plurality. If the
stories told of General Harrison's per
sonal popularity and magnetism are
true. it is possible there are dozen
men in Indiana, not Democrats, who
are ;ntimste enough with the Repub-
lican nominee to class themselves as
his personal friends" and who will
vote fer him on that account, regardless
of the platform. Again, if these stories
are true, it is quite probable that some
dozens OF Republicans who are not OPP
posed tie the platform, will repudiate
both ticket and platform on account OF
their personal dislike of the man who
boasts OF ancestry in country where
ancestry counts for nothing, and takes
pride in blue blood in a democratic re-
public.
Editor Holidays vote and his way #
expressing his intentions will not help
General Harrison very much.

AMENDING The LAW.

The Senate has passed a bill to amend
the inter state commerce law. Among
other things the new bill adds impris on
ment in the penitentiary to the money
penalty for unlawful discrimination
makes false classification, false billing,
false weighing and false report of weight
q misdemeanor, punishable by fine and
Imprisonment, and makes bribery EN-
ployed to get railway favors misde-
meauor subject to the same penal les.
Reduction in pub ished rates eau only
be made after three days notice, and
United States courts are given jurisdic
of violations of the act upon the COM
plant of any party aggrieved. Ayear's
operation of the law seems TO ha: e
impressed the Senators with the idea
that the above-noted amendments were
necessary. The years experience has
convinced the public, or that portion of
if Which has studied the biect.
that there is one other amendment nee
esssry, and that is one repeating the
statute.
Congress has bsen guilty, in its time,
of putting int the books some remark
ABLY peculiar laws. which displayed
great ignorance of the matter legislate ;
OF: and one of the most peculiar of the Sc
statutes is the interstate commerce law
1t was enacted, o tensibly, in the inter
est of tn, public, to protect the
people against combinations and dis
G limitations by the railroads, and to
compel the latter to place all patrons On
a pane of equality. Railroad man
ayers must have INDUCED IN good deal
of snickering in their sleeves duri' G the
past fifteen months when they hav
seen the operation of the law and OF d
how unsuccessful it has been in its
Efforts to prevent certain evils. What
ever of force the law has developed has
been in the direcii)n of protect Dg the
railroads against each other and
against the public. We doubt that
there has been single instance of the
discontinuance of discrimination where
it was not to the interest of the railway
company to stop l., and no I DOL or
combination has been broken and
abandoned in fact if it were advanta-

it. The law lessened the free
pass evil, though it did not abolish it;
but even in this the benefit was with
the railways and not the public. Ii
the railroad managers had been given
the framing of the statute, they would
probably have made the law no more
favorable for the companies. The
amendments which the Senate now
proposes will not improve the act.
The one way to help the law is to re-
peal 1t, and thus save the hundred thou
sand dollars or more year whichit costs
to keep it in the statute books. Laws
which cannot be made to do that tor

poses that the sum of $500, 900 be raised
