JUDGE SPRAGUE.
THE HERALD,
Salt Lake City, Utah

When Judge Ezra T. Sprague died
the spirit of good man took its hlgnt'
and now that he has gone there Will be
sorrow and grief in other hearts than
those of his relatives. Judge sprague
was long a citizen of Salt Lake, and
6uYing all that period he never forgot
for a moment to be a gentleman, kind
and courteous to everybody, and at all
ShneS conservative but finn and con-
ksentious in his opinions, con-
seientious in all that he did,
and shoughtfully considerate OF the
rights of all. When the factionai
shirt was intense and hate and passion
dictated the utterances and sWayed the
astions OF men, Judge sprsgue was
ever the same cool-headed, conserva-
tive gentleman, oounseling peace, ana
exerting himself to bring about mar
mouy and good order. AS an omcer
he was as courte 5us and aceommo iatins
as in private life he was considerste and
genial; being one OF the comparatively
few who have the courage, the 1nde'
pendsncs and the inherent goodness te
be men under all circumstances. Hi

INTEMPERATE LEGISLATION.

Americans take peculiar delight in
boasting of the liberality of their laws,
and denouncing the despotic DEGREES of
Russia; aud yet in some of our enact
ments we can put the Russians to the
blush. An instance of extreme legis-
lation has just occurred in Vermont,
where the Assembly passed and tie
governor approved bill which is dis
grace to a community claiming to
respect personal liberty and to
protect the rights of the indi-
vidual. What makes the matter
verse is the fact that the bill was pre-
pared by the Prohibitionists and forced
through the Legislature by the temper
ance people. We suggest that intem-
psrats legislation of this character does
more harm than good. The act in
question authorizes and makes it the
duty OF any sheriff or his depaty. or
any constable, to search, without war
rant. any wagon, carriage, sart, sleigh
sled, trunk, box, band-be1. reticuler
bundle or clothing" driven, convey ed
or worn along any road or street IN
tn State for intoxicating liquor" II IN
his opinion there is a probability o.
finding any. In the event OF the off,
Ger discovering any intoxicants, one
fourth the fine recovered from the
victim goes to him. The constable sees
a man, or woman for that matter, goinl
along the street with hand bag or
bullying pocket, and without csremon!
proosods to search for the contrisan'
article; a gentleman driving in a bugg.
or sleigh is halted, and he and hi
vehicle are subjected to rigid search
That law may be satisfactory /
quiet old Vermont, but in the west tn
officers would have to exercise NOR
WISDOM and discretion than th
legislators, to avoid having their head
broken the first time they undertook

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

While greeting the New Year with a
hearty welcome, the people of Utah
will take leave of the cid one with not
little regret. The year 1888, take it all
in all, was one long to b remembered
by the residents of this Territory, as
bringing more OF peace, of prosperity
and of good feeling than We have been
in the habit OF experiencing in twelve
month. 1t began well and SO con-
tinaed to the end, the joys and the
triumphs greatly ov balancing the
sorrows and defeats. Much progress
has been made, and it is in the
proper direction. There has been
considerable approach towards unity
of action for the general good. and the
hate and bitterness which have been
a 10 ,aI characteristic have been some
what softened and sweetened. Factions
still exist, and will probably con-
tinue to the end of time, but in the es-
TEEN of one all that the other does is
not bad. The spirit of tolerance is
gaining ground and wisdom asserts it
self oftener than former y. The year
has really done much to inspire in the
hearts of the old-time conservatives
strong hope that it is not so far distant
when the Utah community will not be
radically unlike other communities in
aspirations AID efforts.
Materially he las was year of ad-
vance and development. Throughout
the Territory prosperity was the rule,
being visible everywhere, manifesilng
itself in abundant crops. in employ mens
for labor, in profitable investments for
capital, and so on. Especially kind to
Salt Lake City was 1888. the evidences
of material favo-s being found in the
greatly increased population. the re-
markable number of buildings erected,
and the substantial Improvements in
| augurated and completed. We cannot
rscall a year when longer strides to
greatness were taken.
/ If the dead year was full of achieve
ments the new year is bright WITH
promise. The advantage gained In
1888 will bs retained, and the stsrt
then ACQUIRED will enable us to make
swifter progress in future. We hail the
new year as one of great expectations
and shall look for the realization OF
hopes. Utah is fairly in the swim. She
ia moving with the current, and canno
be stayed. We predict tnat the close
of the year just born will leave the Ter
ritory.. far ahead of her prtsenf posi-
ton in all that makes a common
wealth great.

News comes from Dakota that MIS-
Chaska has baby. We presume II is

father it will probably be "papoose."
Mrs. Chaska was Miss Cora Belle Fell

of a reputation as to good LOOKS ana

Indians as q schoolma'am, and last

perately in love with Chasko, SIOUX

was the practice OF his forefathers.
In spite of the protests OF her parents,
who seem to be clean AMI reputable
people, and IN defiance of the sent1
ment of the age and the country which
is disguised with such unions, Cora
married Chaska. and the next we hear
of them they are being exhibited about
the country N a dime museum. They
were paid S., 900 for making show OF
themselves as the freaks" that they
were, and this money Mrs. Chaska ex-
pended largely for fnery for herself
and her husband, among other things

soon discover that she has given brit

are sometimes called sand-flies. They

hours. After flying about the lights for
one night they cease to exist. Along the

BALTIMORE, July 17.-Jake &ilrain,
the pugilist, who arrived in Baltimore
yesterday afternoon, has entirely recov-
cred from the effects Of his battle with
Sullivan, and looks in even better con-
0ition than on the day he left Baltimore
for the fighting grounds. He does not
show mark of any kind.
In speaking about the great fight,
Kilrain said squarely that he was
whipped, but thought that he was largely
the victim of circumstances.
When asked directly if he thought he
had been dragged, he said: "No, don't
think l was drugged. If l had been l
couldn't have stayed as long as I did"
Johnny Murphy, when asked the same
question, answered, mysteriously, that
there was something wrong, but that for
the present his tongue was tied, but
when the time came he expected to make
some important revelations.
"What have you got to say about
MitchellI' the reporter asked.
"Well, he was not very attentive, to
say the least" was the reply.
eff you ever fight again, Jake, would
you have Mitchell for your trainer?'
''No, l don't know that l would. But
/ don't know that l will fight any more.
l think I have had my share of it."
In speaking further about the fight,
Kilrain said: II weighed 1s5 pounds

coward, and I meant to fight if was
killed. The crowd there was against me,
and the referee, I think, while a square
man, was partial to Sullivan and knew
nothing about the rules. Both he and
the crowd were all the time telling me
to go to Sullivan, and I went, knowing
I would only be knocked down. Of
course the referee had no right to
say word, and under the rules l could
have run all around the ring; but there
was no one but little Murphy here to
coach me, and I blindly went up and
took my medicine. The fact, though,
that 1 was knocked down repeatedly but
not knocked out shows that Sullivan's
terrible blows did not have the power

stood up longer, but Donovan threw up
the sponge in the excitement, being afraid
l would get killed. My blows, for some
reason or other, did not seem to have
any force. My arms seemed numb, but
what was the matter I don't for the life
of me know. The sun there had a ter
rible effect on me, my back being one
big blister after the fight. Why,
