soldiers equalization bounty bill-a
measure of much real justice and
merton the ground that it would
help the ''bOunty agents and mid

This was a veto on the claims of more

and orphans, and yet the party organs
had nothing at all to say about it.

Roscoe ConkIing.

New YORK, April 14.-Mrs. Conkling
who was seen at s. 10 o'clock this morn
ing, said her husband passed another
comfortable night. The only time he
awoke was when called upon to take
medicine, which he did more readily
than usual. He partook of consider
able nourishment. The faithful wife
says the doctors are giving her most
cheerful assurance of the chances now
being In favor of Conkling.
At 9.l5.-DTs. Barker and Sands called
at the house and remained in the sick
room about a quarter of an hour.
DR.. Barker said: "The alarming symp-
toms which exhibited. themselves yes
terday have entirely disappeared. I
feel very much reassured. Conkiing
passed a comparatively easy night,
although he is q little weaker this
morning; he slept most of the time DUR
Ing the night. When he wakes up he
appears to be much more intelligent
than heretofore" Sands dressed the
wound.
DR.. Barker, in the 1880 pm. bulIc-
tin. says: IF Conkling improves as
much IN the next Twenty-four hours as
he did since the morning visit at 10
O'Clock, his chances for recovery will be
even. Temperature, 93K, exactly nor

taken plenty of nourishment; he took

Notwithstanding the favorable bulle-
tin of DR.. Barker, Conkling's relatives
do not appear to teel the same conf

room in the afternoon and said: MIR.

The Idaho Independents.
FRANKLIN. ONEIDA Co., IDAHO,

FRANKLIN, ONEIDA Co., IDAHO,
April 18th, 1888.
To the Editor OF TIE HERALD.
On Thursday, April 18th, meeting
of the executive committee of the Ter
ritorial Independent Party. consisting
of Hon. William Bulge, of Bear Lake
County; Mr.. Horton Haight. of Cassis
County; Mr.. John Donaldson, of Bing-
ham County; Mr.. George Q. Parkinson,
and Mr.. Jenkin Jones, of Oneida
County, was held at Franklin for the
purpose of transacting important bust
ness, pertaining to the interest of the
Independent party of Idaho; andlalso to
arrange for organizing an Independent
party in each precinct of the above
counties. As understand. Just as soon
as practical, each precinct Will be
visited by leading members of the In
dependent party and the political stu
alton thoroughly ventilated. and fairly
presented to the people that all may
understand their position politically as
to their rights and privileges as cit
IL ems of the United States of America.
This, Mr.. Editor, think is a step in
the right direction. The Mormon people
OF this Territory have, through unjust
and the enactments Of laws
which are unconstitutional, been de-
prived of their Just rights; their fran
chise has been taken away from them,
they are not even allowed to vote for
school trustees; in fact they are at
present IN bondage. In many places
hni VI
by donations, have been taken from the
instance, the Franklin school house,
taken from the real owners by the anti
Mormon party, who, at their election of
school trustees, voted the enormous
amount of eight votes, while the real
owners could not vote unless they would
take an oath which was prepared for
them on purpose, which oath is I'M
lawful and unconstitutional. (The oath
[ mean is the Infamous Idaho test
Dath.) And to-day the people of
Franklin are without schoolhouse,
and are forced to rent place for
their children. All this is done by
unjust legislation; but l am pleased to
see that steps are being made by legal
men in our Territory to bring the
people to see their true position politi-
cally; and hope the ball will be kept
rolling, and, like SNOWFALL, every |
time it rolls around, it will become |
larger and larger, until it becomes
large and powerful enough to crush out /
from our fair Territory every species of |
fraud and tyranny. The Mormon |
people have been in bondage long |
bat the time is near at hand |
when their letters will be broken and |
their rights will be granted to them
again in this our fair and beautiful |
Territory.
The health of the people of Franklin |
s good, and now since the snow has |
they are all busy with their
arms and gardens. OBSERVER.

stand Sunday or two since.
President Hatch regretted that such
a poor report of our thriving little town
should go forth, after, as he said, he
had not long since been enlogizing the
people for their good works. Every
thinking person will acknowledge that
in this world, good and evil are con-
tinually striving for the mastery. In
this community, as well as others we
have known, both influences are felt.
Our mite is small, but wishing to
swell the tide OF public opinion against
this growing evil, we have used such
arguments as were in our power to &C.
complish the same.
The "Stake House." which is a fine
building of red sandstone, is now very
near completion. It was commenced
some three years ago, and extreme care
has been taken to make 1t su bstantial,
as we'll as a handsome place of worship.
1t is structure of which the people of
Wssatch Stake are justly proud. Presi-
dent Hatch has been untirlng in his
effortG. his W ll-known energy and push
having been brought TO bear upon this
subject with great success; and he is
now rushing the work forward with all
possible speed, in order to hold the May
quarterly conference IN the new Stake
House. Many are exercising the wish
that some OF the Twelve and Saints
from other stakes will visit us on the
occasion. for IL will certainly be time
of rejoicing to the authorities and peo-
pie OF the Wasatch Stake of Zion.

SPRING is with us at last, and the
farmers are happy. Flowing is the
order of the day.
THERE has been much sickness from
colds and sore threats during the past
week, especially among the little ones.
The "Old Folks" have been ENJOYING
a series of reunions; and oh, such
happy times. Such songs with Choir
uses in which all join; such dancing
of dignifed, stately steps: such bowl ng
and balancing; and sucn merry revivals
of the good, old-fsshioned gsieties have
b, enough to cheer and lreshep, for
a long time to come. the hearts of those
who have participated therein.
YESTERDAY about thirty or forty OF
the seventies went, with their teams
and farm implements, up to Mr.. Robert
Lindsay's place, this gentleman having
recently gone on mission to far away
Australia, leaving behind him a numer-
Gus family. The gentlemen thought
they would all devote day to good
purpose, and yesterday they proved
their good intentions by plow1ng, har-
rowing and sowing the entire farm in
one day. This is sufficient evidence
that we have our full share of the good
people. as we'll as few of the bad ones.

FOrninst the Council.

The following petition is being cir
culatsd for signatures in Provo, and
will probably be presented to the City
Council at their next session:
Understanding that it is the intention
of your honorable body to annual the
present prohIbitory ordnance, and in
stitute in It's stead system of license,
we, the undersigned voters, and citizens
of Provo City, of legal age, demonstrate
agains, the proposed change, We being
OF the firm conviction that should it be
made, it would introduce in our midst
an increase of immortality, bringing
suffering and misery upon wives,
nj others and daughters, as well as
shame aud degradation upon those
indulging in intoxicating liquors, the
temptation for which would be graf
with open saloons.
We realize that the sale of LIQUOR can
not be prohibited in the very strictesJ
sense of that word, but the almost total
absence of cases of drunkenness ON our
streets, and the peace and quietness
that prevades our moral city at all
times, leads US to believe that thespres-
ent system is doing much good, and is
proving itself more and more to be
potent power of morality.
Being therefore of this firm convic
tioD, we voluntarily, and in uDmistak-
able language demonstrate against the
of any measure legalizing the
sale OF lntoxlcants in our city.

The meeting at Lecoteau rejected the
resolution favoring the candidacy of
General Boulanger.
NJ. Paul de Roulade, in letter to the

port General Boulanger, whose name,
be says, means neither dictatorship
nor war, but independent aud self re-
speeding peace, and France cannot exist
under the absurd regime of the pseudo
monarchlsl constitution of 1875. It is
unworthy argument to say that Ger
many would declare war if General
Boulanger were elected President. He

Globe Democrat: 1t will even be
safer to travel on Il railroad car than to
sit down at home. An Australian is
said to have designed Il truck to be run
before every train, at m ad justable dis
lance, by an electric current transmit
ted from adynamo on the engine. If
the truck comes in collision with any
body in front certain glass tubes, in
which the current is thus conducted ARE
broken. The current is thus broken,
and at the same moment the brakes of
the train are automatically applied.
This may or may not be a working dis
covery, still there is sure to be some
method, ere long, for making high speed
travel almost absolutely secure. There
is more permanent and u~npreventable
danger in the simpler events of every
day life, such as eating indigestible
food or catching colds. In fact, there
seems to be no difficulty in the way of
easy and safe in tercommunication about

A Rand LocOmoiiye.

Globe Democrat: An application for
n patent has been filed by a New York
civil engineer for q new locomotive and
tender designed for making the fastest
time which has ever been made in this
or any other country. The boiler is
rectangular in shape. having a large
and permanent area OF evaporating sur
face, the pressure to be carried being
2lO pounds per inch, which is but one
third OF the bursting pressure at its
weakest point. The cylinders are in
the real Of, instead of between the
truck-wheels, and the tire-box is sup
ported between the center of gravity of
driving-wheels. Ali the combinations
OF parts are in exact harmony, and it is
intended to easily make the time of
sixty miles an hour with ten coaches,
and can without violent strain be
brought to ninety-fiye miles per hour
with the same load. This gain in per-
Torrance over the present machine is
obtained by a mathematical construc-
ton with reference to the distance be-
tween rail centers upon which it is sup
ported, and is the first application made
which has embraced and specified
every portion OF a locomotive and ten
der constructed automatically with
reference to the limits within which
they must be confined and supported.
AS a result Of exact proportion with
reference to such base, the cost OF main
tenance will be greatly below the gen.
cral average of present constructions.
