A CAR u,

No one who has not passed through
the ordeal can guess the aneuishsof a
mnther'S heart whose child is afflicted
with the awful malady of epilepsy. For
four long years my little boy has been
subjsc. to epiieptic fits, being Frustrated
as oft as four and five times day by
them, and each time expected to see
him breathe his last. A CONSTANT watch
had TO be kept over him night and day {;
lite became constant worry and dread
until one day, a friend asked me,
Why do you not take him to DIR. G.
w. Higgins, who has a great reputa-
ton f curing such cases." I did
SO without delay, ard after a ca -eful
examination the doctor said he could
cure my child. Hoping against hope,
took the medicine home with me and
gave it to my boy as the doctor directed.
This was seven months ago, and to- day
it gives me the greatest joy a mothers
heart can know to say that he has never
had one fl since that time. Too much in
the Doctor praise L cannot say: and
if any who read this are afflicted
in hike manner, would say do NOT wait
one day, but call and see the Doctor ct
once. Respectfully,

at the same time. New Mexico is en-
titled to Statehood, but where is found
the justification for keeping Dakota
under oppres g on because some other
section has to suffer? If this rule were
to be followed the Territories would be
admitted in pairs, irrespective of their
rights, partisan politics and not justice
governing.
If the Democrats have not yet COM
pretended the great blunder they COM
mitted in opposing Dakota's admission,
they must be stupid as men, as poll
ticians and as statesmen; and if they
have seen the unwisdom of their course,
the best thing they can do is to confess
their error and make such reparation
as lies in their power. The longer they
hold back, the greater will be their
blunder and the more injurious its con-
sequences.
The HERALD believes in the doctrines
and principles of democracy, and the
Democratic party, ar d because it does
believe in them it will applaud General
Harrison for Fastening the emancipa-
ton of Dakota or any other of the
oppressed colonies, and will dsnounce
any Democrat who interferes to delay
or prevent such emancipation. 1t is
Democratic to relieve the Territories
from the load which the infamous
system of government imposes upon
them. and it is cowardly, vicious, IN
and inhuman to continue
the burden.

MORE MYSTERY.

A Chicago Times Sioux City special,
in yesterdays HERALD. said: "Info1-
nation was received to-day that con-
tract for grading the Salt Lake e. Los
Angeles line was let on Wednesday.
This is the western extension of the pro-
posed Sioux City and Ogden road, and
will be completed to the Pacific Coast
inside of two years." None would re-
above were true, but it would be assert
ing e falsehood to say that We believed
the dispatch. We don't believe it, and
cannot understand why such reports
are circulated. If the company which
claims to be about to build a road
from Sioux City to Salt Lake, and from
hare to Los Angeles, is substantial, it
does not need to be fortified by an
nouncements of this kind, and if it is
not solid, such statements will not hep
it.
stock in the telegram. Only,within few
days has been heard any talk that the
company intended to so further west
than Salt Lake. No surveys have bten
run beyond Ogden, and so far as known
not even an engineer or an exploring
or inquiring party has gone over the
route. Some preliminary work if moth
ing more than observation, would have
been done before intelligent men with
capital let Ve-million dollar contract
Furthermore, if railroad to Los An
geles is to be constructed, being so GER
tain of going ahead that the grading
has been arranged for, how is it that
Salt Lake capitalists and business
men who are planning and working
for the mere commencement OF the
enterprise, have never heard of it?
Why, we would all feel like painting the
town q more brilliant carmine than
when Cleveland was elected if the Sioux
City telegram were genuine.
There is a peculiar odor about much |
of the railway news which comes from |
Sioux City. Is it possible that some-
body is trying to annoy and alarm the
Union Pacific by sending out these
threats of a parallel road? Or, does
some one want to encourage men with
money to loosen their purse strings?
We don't like the mystery any better

had already imposed upon his victim g
good nature he allowed himself to be
contented with only few of these.
There is certain place near the head
of the Duchesue River that the Indians
will not 60 near. 1t is little valley
through which the river runs, and
though there are hundreds of beavers
ia the stream at that point, nothing
can induce the In iiaus to go there to
trap them. They say that the place is
inhabitC d by horrible monster, half
man and half beast. with all the powers
of an evil spirit. An Indian will face
death in any form before he will ven
ture into this valley; the most violent
death has no terrors for him as COM
pared with this monster. When moving
ap or down the river they will go miles
out of their way to avoid this place, and
if one of them gets within mile or two
of the hellish valley he imagines he
hears the peculiar noise that this mon
ster is supposed to make, and he will
fly terror-stricken until he reaches
what he considers a safe distance.
This s1per itition is supposed to have
its origin in the
GILA MONSTER,
an overgIown lizard of the most clumsy
shiny and repulsive appearance, in
habiting the ella River in Arizsna.
This monster, which actually exists, by
the way, always had great terrors for
the Indians and it is supposed that
this YES transported by tradition 10

upon until the monster Of the upper
Duchosne was evolved.
PUNISHMENT HEREAFTER.
The Ute Indian has some idea of pun
ishment hereafter for the lmis deeds OF
tbs life. That is, he believes that q
"good InJun" will at death be admitted
o the happy hunting grounds and the
enjoyment OF all its pleasures, while
the bad Injun" will be barred from
them.
An Indian does not fear death and he
has simple sound logic upon which 10
base his Indifference. He believes
firmly, if he has been a good man, that
his condition will be bettered in the

ton to a happier sphere. Why should
he fear it2 And herein lies sermon for
white men of great faith in q future
happy existence.
The Ute Indians bury their dead,
sometimes in collins. but always rolled
up in their blankets. In earlier days
they simply dug q hole in the ground
and laid the dead man in it, wrapped
in his blankets, with his bow and arrow
BY his side. Over him was built a
wigwam anu there he was left, with
out other covering. awaiting the COM
ing of the Great Father in the silent
watches of the night, to carry him,
blankets, bow and all to the realms of
the happy hunting ground.

THE CHINESE.

Senator Hearst is frank enough to
admit that the fruit and wine indus
tries of California cannot be carried on
proftably without Chinese cheap labor.
The Senator voted for the Chinese ex-
clusioD act, knowing that il was wrong
in principle and would operate injur-
iously to California. 1t was politics
however, to pass the bill, and what did
he or any other politician care SO long
as the ignorant rabble was pleased and
votes secured? Senator Hearst is
Democrat, and it was Democratic
policy at the time to be radically
anti-Chinese. Mr.. c, P. Huntington,
of the Southern Pacific, is pronounced
Republican, and he says that We are
in need "of tractable and cheap labor o
build up our waste places" Mr.. Hunt
ington's party could not cry down
with the ChineseT" loud enough, ard
yet there was not an intelligent man
among the howlers. who, if left to his
own free judgment, would have voted
to close our gates against the Asiatics.
The truth is, the Chinese have been a
great blessing to California, and are
valuable to 1t to-day. They have
done much to bring that
great State into the condition of
| high development in which we see it
to-day. Without their cheap labor,
California would not be the rich and
popuIous State that she il, but would
be tagging along, pleading for men to
come and make her resources valuable.
Railroads would not be running in
every direction, for they could not
have been built with the high priced
white labor of the west. Many of the |
magnificent ranches, which are to-day |
veritable paradises, would be barren |
wastes had it not been for the little |
brown men who work for wages |
that q white man would scorn. The !
hundreds of miles Of irrigating canals |
testify to the benefit that the despised !
Monaghan has been to the State, f. r
1t would not nave been profitable to
dig the canals with other labor. Ban
ish the Chinese from California to.mor-
row, and next month bankruptcy will
overtake hundreds of rich and pros
porous men. Drive out the Chinese,
and ten years from now California will
pe in worse condition materially than
she is to-day.
THE HERALD would not be understood
as favoring Chinese immigration, but
We know hat the Chinese have been of
great benefit to the Pacific Coast, and
we believe that the United States can
better afford to exclude another class
Of foreigners than these "tractable and
cheap Iaborers."

HARRISON AND DAKOTA.

According to 8 Washington CORES
pondent, Presidcnt-elec Harrison has
promised to call the Fifty-frst Con-
gress together Immediately if the Dem
ocrats in tAe present Congress persist
in keeping Dakota out of the union. It
can hardly be believed that General
Harrison has made any such promise,
but whether he has or not, we hope he
will do as the correspondent says he
will. 1t will be a merited rebuke to the
Democrats, who have without reason OF
excuse of any kind stood in the
way of the emancipation of a great and
progressive community. DAKOTA has
oeen treated shamefully, and for no
Jther reason than that the majority
Of her people are members of the Re-
publican party as if that were thing
demanding punishment at the hands
Aof Congress. TIE course Of the Demo-
eratic majority in the House in this
gery case has transformed many Demo.
trsts into Republicans, and we are
not certain that it was not a princip4I
factor in turning the two Demo-
cratic Territories of Montana and
Washington over to the Republicans.
We do not assert that the Republicans
would have done differently if the cir
,umstances and conditions had been
reversed; but We do know that the
Democrats have been inexcusably par
:isan unjust and wrong. That the Re-
oublicans would have done the same or
worse, furnishes no excuse. The Dem
ocrats are responsible for the fact that
she great community of Dakota, with
Is empire of territory, and its
