The party opened fire, but Billy leaned over

THE UTAH COMMISSION.
A Favorable Estimate of the Norm Qns
Reform Progressing Rapidly.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Two OF the
members of the Utah Commission, John A.
McClernand and A. b. Carleton, have filed
with the Secretary Of the Interior minor
ity report. They also submitted a minority
report last year. The report, received to
day, says: Reform in Utah is prog cessing
favorably, far beyond our most sanguine
anticipation. Utah is coming to the from,
among the Rocky Mountain states and ter
ritories, and may be compared favorabIy
with any of them in the enterprise of Eer
citizens, the fertility of her valleys, the
richness of her mines, and the fOurishing
condition of her cities and towns. A great
deal OF capital is being invested in Utah bY
ron-Mormons in city lots, farming lands,
inning property, and such Investments are
GS safe there as in any other state OF terri
tory. That is to say there is not the slight
est danger of insurrection, nor, in our opin-
Ion is there any danger Of adverse legisla.
ton that will jeopardize personal security
or property rights. Apart from sexual of.
fenses which are decidedly on the decrease,
the Mormon people OF Utah will compare
favorably with otner communities for peace

The commissioners say that in their optu-
ion the majority of the Mormon people
wisely resolved that the practice OF poly
gamy should be abandoned. I'VE are
thoroughly satisfied" say the commissi n
ers, that the work OF reformation in Utah
Is progressing rapidly and that 1t will re-
suit IN a successful issue without a resort

The commissioners IRE adverse to any
further restrictive Legislation by Congress
believing that the present laws are sufii-
ciently stringent and will accomplish all
that can be reasonably required of legal
coercion. The report recommends the
sdoption Of an amendment TO the federal
constitution prohibiting the institution or
practice Of polycamy in any form in the
states and territories, or other places over
which the United States has exclusive
jurisdiction.
The commissioners in. conclusion say:
I'VE have no disposition to defend the
Mormons against all that has beeno alleged
against them, but we believe they are en-

The Economical Scotchman.

He is not a man of brilliant quail tiee, but he is man of solid ones. who can be only appreciated at his true worth when you have known him some time. He does not jump at you with demonstrations of love, nor does he show you an eternal friendship; but if you know how to win his esteem you may rely upon him thoroughly. If ever you travel with a Scotchman from Edinburg to London, you may observe that he does not take his eyes off of the country the train goes through. He looks out of the window all the time, so as not to miss penny worth of the money he has paid for his place. Remark to him, as you yawn and stretch yourself, that it's a long, tring, tiresome journey, and he will probably exclalm: Long, indeed, long, l should think so. sir and so it ought to be for f5, l7s.

ser.

A correspondent from Columbia county asks: "Is there any differ ence. practically. between the Sher- win educational bill that was indors- ed by the Arkansas legislature of lS- S3 and the Blair bill. which has been so much talked about within the last year or two:" There is no differ ence between the two measures, so far as the principle involved is con- cerned. Both recognize the necessi- tv for federal aid to the cause of common school education. both sur round the proposed gift to the States with certain conditions as to the eX- penditure of the money, both require certain reports to the general govern ment and both assume that the pow CT to appropriate the money is fully authorized bv the constitution. The Sherwin bill. which was indorsed by the legislature of 1883. is little more stringent than the Blair bill. in that it provides that any misapplica- ton of funds granted to any State shall be made good by that State before it be entitled to its pro rata at the date of the next appropriation. So far as the "centralizing tenden- cies are concerned, both are as near ly alike as two black-eyed peas. So far as the tendency to make "mendi- cants" out of our Southern people is concerned, they are as nearly alike as two measures can possibly be- The same kind of a "bribc" (Broth- CT Brower's horror) is offered in each case.
 The man who favored the Sherwin bill ought not to oppose the Blair bill, In the opinion of the Democrat they are both good measures. Little Rock Democrat.

 How can one man know what you want unless you ask for it, or what you have to sell unless you advertise it?-Murat Halstead.

 If you advertise it gives your place reputation around folks will crowd to your warehouse and keep it too lively. If you don't wont to do any thing keep as still as you can. C. F. Browne
 Timeliness in advertising is an inn portant factor. The ability to seize upon an event of current interest, and to turn it to the advantage of the advertiser is something that com mands admiration wherever it is man. ifested. d.-OlHce.
 There is an absolute necessity for advertising; there is great eager ness to compete for attention. and no one gets it unless it is by giving, as it were so many strokes of the hammer. one after the other. to com pei to notice what is going on.-W. E. Gladstone.
