The S%ESrISEL's article suggesting the
annexation Of Utah to Nevada has fur.

sufficient reason that the Saints would
not have the numerical strength to do 30.
With a sectsrian majority we would most
certainly oppose consolidation with Utah.
But the facts do not warrant any such
fear. With Nevada's $4,000 Gentle
votes added there would be a safe and
reliable anti. Church majority in the new
State. The Gentle preponderance would
not be less than 1000 to 5000 to begin
with, and each year would see the liberal
vote doubled. The Gentiles have already
wrested the city Of Ogden from Mormon
control. and it is confidently believed
that at the next ensuing city election
they will also capture Salt Lake. Park
City and the other mining camps of the
Territory have been Gentle for years. In

simply marvellous. Without help from
any quarter whatever, save the natural
immigration flowing into the Territory.
the Gentiles will swing affairs in Utah in

That was a great victory OF Monday
night-great in results, but far greater in
the prestige that it gives the Liberals
and the hope that it e~ngenders. 1t pre-.
sages a change for good in the immediate
future; it indicates that the time is
swiftly approaching when the Aslatlc
methods that have ruled here IRON the
first will be exchanged for American
methods. The best, the very best fea.
ture Of it all is that Young Utah receives
the news with the dryest kind of eyes.
While they are not yet quite emancipated
enough to publicly their deter
mination to work for a change Of meth
DDS here, they exult as the silent forces
at work are bringing that change in. We
exult because this victory is for every
person in the city. Those who feel sorest
| will be forced to admit, to themselves at
least, after q little, that they had fol-
lowed a certain groove so long without
looking up that the world has gone on by
them, and that the change was as neces-
sary as it was good. The next struggle
will be in the August election. When
that shall be over, the thought in every
Gentle breast must be that all the Cen
tile strength was brought out, and that
the very best showing possible was made.
II that can be done, then no ~reproaches
will follow. After August, then the grand
fight for February will be Immediately
on, and such a struggle be made as was
never before made in Utah to put mat
tiers in a form to change this village into
a city and to cause il to begin to take its
rightful place among the cities OF the
West. The skies are propitious to-day.
and all the omens in the air are omens Of
good.

The Great East Cheked out for she
want Of wster.

The great East is choked out for the
want Of water. The Humboldt is as
dry as a powder horn at Lovelock, and
but very little water is running at
winnemucca. Paradise Valley will
not cut to exceed 100 tons Of hay, when
in the past they have cut $1,000 tons,
and the grain crop will be a failure.
B. F. Riley sowed loo acres to grain
and he informed a Reno Gazette re-
porter this morning that he would not
cut a pound. On Quinn River and
the Little Humboldt they will cut
some hay, and also at Lovelock's, but
at other points along the Humboldt
the crop will be an entire failure. Cat.
tie are said to be dying for the want OF
water. 1t surely is a gloomy outlook,
for il cattle are suffering now they
will choke TO death before the long
dry Summer is at ar end.

Death of u. Clayton.

Joshua E. Clayton, the well-known
mining engineer and ~geologist, died
at Wardner Junction, Oregon, We'd
nesday, from injuries received by the
upsetting OF a stage coach on June 10.
He was born in Georgia, and after
many years experience as a mill
wright in that State and South Caro-
lima, came TO California in 1850, and
built one Of the first gold mills in that
State. He has been connected with
many OF the principal mines in
Montana, Utah and Ceur d'Alene,
and was an authority referred 10
frequently in court proceedings. Pro-
lessor Clayton was located at Eureka
for a number of years in the early
seventies, and he operated extensively
in the mines OF Eastern Nevada.

ONE OF TnE NEEDS OF THIS
COUNTRY

What the youth of American cities
needs more than anything else is thor

dignity ana importance OF labor. The
time has arrived 10 the development OF
this country when every man needs
either a profession or 8 trade. ALBANY

The opinion, says the New York Her
aid, that manual labor is not honorable
is dangerous to the welfare of society.
The great need OF this country is labor
that is really skilled. We have a sur
plus OF manual routine toilers-they
tread on zach others heels. And the
professions are pretty well crowded. We
have doctors enough to kill the whole

to get us all into a hopeless tangle of liti-

maker, and so chooses to be 9 counter
jumper, sells pins by the penny's worth
and tape by the yard, bow and scrape to
his lady customers and delude himself
with the idea that he is in one of the
gentlemanly callings.

archy it would be different; but thank
heaven we haven't any monarchy or any
nobility. except that which each fellow

A DECEPTIVE PREMISE.

Says prominent New England cler-
gyman who has recently been visiting
in the west: ''In the west | find more
wealth. more generosity, more enthusi-
asm and aggressiveness IN church work,
and, believe me, more genuine culture
than IN tie east But [ do miss historic
background. | miss the old. | miss, on
the banks Of the Mississippi, what one
misses who comes from old England to
New England-a good deep stratum of
history. There is too much nature for
humanity or too little humanity for ma
ture." The first part Of the glergyman's
statement is perhaps true enough, as it IS
entirely plausible; but as to the conclu-
sion in the last sentence quoted, while
perhaps natural enough from the stand
point at which they were formed, are en-
roneous and deceptive. If he had pass
ed through and beyond the misty atmos-
phere, at the eastern border of which he
halted to make his observation, and
come out into the clear, pure air this
side Of that basis he would have discov-
cred both nature and humanity develop
