NOT OPPOSED TO IMPROVEMENT

The HERALD has been accused of being
on-pragressive because it IS opposed to
bonding the Territory for money with
which to make public improvements.
This is rather amusing in view of the
fact that THE HERALD has ever been
foremost in advocacy of public i'm
proyements, and has urged the borrow
ing of money whenever that course was
demanded by the necessities of the oc-
casion. Our opposition to bonding the
Territory does not arise from Opposi-
ton to progress and improvement. On
theeontrary, it is because we favor these
things that we object to bonding at this
time. The occasion does not exist for
the expenditure now of more money
THAI should be received by the Terri
tory in the ordinary course of things.
There is no expensive improvement
either required or contemplated, and
assuredly the ordinary revenue should
he sufficient for the ordinary ex-
oenditures. If it is not sufficient, it is
time there was an adjustment of the
two.
Here again The HERALD would like
to suggest to the gentlemen in the As
sembly who are SO bent on running th'
Territory into debt that if they will in
duce their respective counties to ts1
themselves fairly and equitably, as tbs
present law proposes, the revenue viii
he sufficient TO pay for all the improve
ments which reason can propose. l
the other counties will deal fairly il
this matter, and assess their property
ND to fifty per cent. of its cash value
there will be no lack of money to pa!
for all that should be done. While Sal
Lake City pays more Territorial take
than Weber, including Ogden, which
claims to be a rival and competlto
with this city; Utah, including Provo
which is trying to compete with ogdel

TIE DISHONEST principle of some
persons in the real estate business
seems to be met by unprincipied real
estate owners. If a man has resolved
to sell, if he decides on q figure, if he
gives an option, it should be his pride
to make good his word. It's advisable
to make sure that one is not being taken
advantage of; but the man who gives
an option and his word, should have
the courage to hold faith in either or
both. The number of persons reported
TO have gone back on square bargains
would indicate that with many the
greed for money outweighed the love
of manhood and truth.

DUBLIN, Jan. 1s.-Father Matthew
Ryan, the priest who was imprisoned at
Limerick for month for melting the peo-
pie to illegal acts in connection with the
plan Of campaign, was released to-day.
Ten thousand persons were collected
around the prison and when he emerged
he was received with prolonged cheerg.
The Mayor Of the town, the Sheriff and
the municipal council and many members
Of the clergy crowded around him and
congratulated him upon his release.
The crowd escorted Father Ryan four
teen miles to his parish at Herbertown.
The police followed the whole distance,
but were delayed when half way to Her
bertown by car which had been drawn,
across the road. Father Ryan wen thus
enabled, on his arrival home, TO address
the people without interference. He will
advise tenants to adopt the plan Of cam
psign, which, he eaid, was moral and just,
Notwithstanding everything that the
Lords, both spiritual and temporal, said
to the contrary.

a Constitutional Amendment Reported In
the Mnssachusstta Senate.

BusroS, Jan. 1S.-Tao Legislature,
which has just go. to work, is undoubtsd.
ly in favor Of constitutional prohibition.
tits almost certain that the prohibitory
amendment will be advanced toward sub.
mission to the people at the 1889 election.
The PEohibitionists are early at work,
and to-day an amendment forbidding the
manufacture or sale OF intoxicating liquors
was reported to the Senate by the Com.
mittee on Constitutional amendments.
By new order Of procedure this and oil
other amendments we're referred 10 q new
special committee instead Of to the Liquor
Law Committee.
The frat debate Of the neasOn will be
upon this measure, and it will probably
pass tho Senate by fair msjority, and
the House by the necessary two.thirds. II
must thon receive q similar endorsement
from the Legislature Of 1889 In order to 90
to the people for fual disposition at the
next election. Three Of the eight mem.
bers Of the committee dissent from the
report.
There are some indications that the pro.
hibitionists will be strong enough to carry
through prohibitory law in addition to
the preliminary action 10 favor OF the
amendments. II prohibition by statute
should be nprung upon the people two or
three months hence there would be lively
times in the State next fall.

A RIP VAN wINKLE.
Herman Harms has Slept for Eleven Years
and Isn't Through Yet.

Herman Harms has Slept TOR Eleven Years
and Isn't Through Yet.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. lS.-Ths case Of
Herman Harms, Buffalo county farmer,
who has enjoyed Rip Van Winkle sleep
Of eleven years, completely puzzles the
physicians. In 1877 Harms moved to this
State from Illinois, taking q farm on the
Missiseippi river, opposite Winons, in
Utica township. While attending his
sick wife one day he suddenly fell asleep
and dropped 10 the floor. He was picked
up by bis friends and placed upon the
bed, and has not sincs been of 1t. He
sleeps soundly all day, and at 8 or 10 o'clock
in the evening rises, takes little nourish-
ment and at once lies down and goes to
sleep again. During the time he is awake
he pays no attantion to anybody, but
drinks little soup or coffee without max
ing any remarks, and at once goes eound
to sleep. His sleep is quiet and without
any apparent pain or discomfort.
When be tsll asleep he weighed $50
pounds, but he has now dwindled to 90
pounds. His pulse is regular and very
strong, rather more vigorous than the
pulse OF the aversge wideawRke man.
His head ia very warm, while the fesh OF
bis body Is cold and has the appearance OF
dead mans fesh. While he sleeps one
hand is closed tightly in front OF him and
the other pressed firmly against tho right
temple, and he invarisbly Bleeps In the
same position. His eyelids are seen to
blink very fast at times as ii the light
hurts them,
The opinions Of physicians as to his
trouble arc very various. Some say 1t ia
kidney trouble, some say he is crazy, and
others assert that his heart IL In dormant
utste and that he will never recover from
hispresent condition. Mr.. Harms Is forty
nine years old, and up 10 the time he was
taken In 1877, had not been sick day in
hie life. He has five children.
When the story OF his peculiar ailment
was frat published 1t was so ridiculed that
no one took the trouble to investigate the
case. It is fact that this man has slept
eleven years, and only once has he dress
ed himself aud gone out Of the houae.
The doctors say that he will soon die, be.
cause ne Is losing flesh go fast. At the
time he Rwoke in 1882 he was told he had
been asleep for four years, but he would
not believe 1t. He was led to the mirror,
and when he cav his gray whiskers and
long hair his surprise was very great. His
hair, which has not been cut, is now over
two feet long and very black. His flesh is
Of yellow color and is vGry fsbby.
Harms came to this country from Hanover
in 1859.

inquired whether he would be able to
