HOW TO DEAL WITH mORmONs.

HOW TO DEAL WITH MORMONS.
 It has seemed to outsiders that good deal has been accomplished during the last two years in checking the growth of Mormon power, but Governor Thomas of Utah says that the political power of the Mormons has not been broken, and will not be unless more minute and efficient measures are taken. His plan is for the government to take control of the county offices. While the Gentiles are gaining in Salt Lake and Ogden, the Mormons still have control in twenty three out of the twenty-four counties in the territory and in 352 out of 37S elec- tion precincts. This gives them nearly all of the county offices which they use for the benefit of the church. The recorderships, for instance, are very lucrative offices, and titheE of all the emoluments go to the church, making from $100, ,000 to $15O, ,00O a year to be used in fighting the federal gov- ernment. Governor Thomas thinks that such officers as recorders, assessors, select men, superintendents of schools, and county clerks, should be appointed by federal authority. At present these ofises are passed from father to son by the Mormons and oppress Gentiles and apostates, and the selectmen and superintendents of schools are openly partial to Mormons.
 Governor Thomas suggestion is a radical one, but if it is necessary to do as he sug- gests to destroy the political power of the Mormons it should be done without hesita- tion. They have had all the privileges they are entitled to.

WHAT IS THE MATER

- 10 A AA " IAAA A n A ID
 We had yesterday in this region slight reminder of old times in the shape of some moderately cool weather. But it is not ex- pected to last, and some of the wise men are predicting winter even more open than the last. The present mildness seems to be gen- eral. In northern Russia, for instance, the ground, which is usually at this season of the year covered with three or four feet of snow, Is entirely bare. though the temperature Is as low as ever before. The fact is creating. 1t is said, uneasiness in the agricultural dis tricrs because of the effect on the winter crop of cereals. In Ohio, according to the telegraphic dispatches, dandelions are bloom ing, the naples are budding, and the lilacs are putting out their leaves. From other of the more northern sections of the country reports of similar nature have been received.
 What do these things meana Are we go- ing to have no more sleighing, no more snowstorms, whose drifts reach to the second story windowsa Was the blizzard the last mighty effort of old Boreas to keep his su- premacyi Has he failed. and are we going back to the times when the earth was very warm and moista A learned writer in the Providence Journal hes the following to say concerning the condition of affairs: A high condition of eccentricisy tends to produce an accumulation of snow and ice on the hemis- phere, the winters of which occur in aphelion. In turn, the accumulation of snow and ice tends to lower the summer temperature But exactly opposite effects take place on the other hemisphere, which has its winter In perihelion. The general result Is that one hemisphere is heated and the other cooled.
 This may be ss. We hope it Is. Some thing is needed to account for the way things in the weather are going.

handle yard long. The lash is thickest at the end. The thickness varies according to the provinces. But the smallest lashes are two inches thick. Only in Saxony are the dimensions fixed by law. the handle there being thirty inches long and the lash thirty- six inches. The maximum number of blows is left to the judgment of the prison direc- tors, but it must not exceed twenty five in Mecklenburg and oldenburg, thirty in Sax ony and sixty in Prussia.
 The public analyst of Halifax, Yorkshire, MT. Ackroyd, thinks that mental alteration may sometimes be ascribed to the use of weak milk. In the Provincial Medical Journal. under the title of teThe Milk Sup ply and Lunacy," he draws attention to some statistics of admissions to lunatic establish monthly number of admissions for the eight years is 1899, in the months of May, June and July the number is 628 above the aver- age, and 462 below it for the months of Oc- tober, November, December and January. Moreover, the rise and fall are gradual; the April, and down in July, August and Sep- tember. Such variations, Mr.. Ackroyd be- lieves, have been correlated with a number of other phenomena, and he desires to add one more to the list, viz, the seasonal varia- tion in the quality of the milk. He has been at the pains to plot curve for the years 1885-S6, based on over 33,000 sam- ples of milk analysed for the Aylesbury Dairy company, and the result of his inves- tigations goes to show that there is curi- ous correspondence between the rate of ad- missions to lunatio asylums and the quality of milk, the former rising as the percentage of solids in milk is observed to fall.

 The Ave deaths that have occurred in Zanesville, Ohio, within the last week, due to the conveying to that place the body of child dead of diphtheria. is another instance of the carelessness of public servants and the folly of people generally.

 NESS.
1t is Caused Not By Hard Work Hut By
 Lack OfIt.

Lack ofIt.
 From the Seattle Press.
 We nowadays hear much of the disease of insomnia, one of the most distressing ills of mankind. The primary cause is disordered nervous organization, and this condition is usually attributed to overwork. That insom. mia is not caused by methodical application of one's mental and physical energies is com- pletely disproved by the fact that the most notable business men and statesmen are eel brated for the amount and variety of work they dispose of with remarkable regularity and accuracy: These men are also noted for their physical and mental strength. Their ha- bits of thought indicate high degree of men- tai training This condition is not accideH- tai. They accurately comprehend the condi- tions requisite to the prompt and accurate disposition of affairs that appear complicated to superficial understandings. Such men are not afflicted with idle fears or sentimental notions. They understand what they have to do, and they go about doing it. Their minds are well balanced. They master their work, instead of permitting their work to master them.
 On the other hand, men who allow them- selves, under one pretext or another, to neg lect their duties; whose minds, by reason of lack of training, only half perform the work they undertake to perform; whose personal habits conflict with methodical and uninter- rupted effort; who have no comprehension of the commonplaces of business affairs, and whose conception of life, it's rewards, punish ments, duties aud responsibilities, is weak or warped by sentimentality -such unfaithful- ness to either self or others; oppressed by the knowledge of their inability to do themselves or their work justice by rea- son of the accumulation of duties; excited by apprehension of complications and the pos- sibla rssnltins soonssqnsnoss mon thkpsssf<e4 to misguided effort.
 A clear conscience, a lively appreciation of how mach good there is in the world, and how much there is to inspire one's mind with pleasant thoughts, disposition we'll dispos- ct toward mankind ,and mind free from idle fears and sslfishns ss are some of the best pre- ventatives of insomnia.

Sagacisy ef the Coyote.


 Residents in the vicinity of the Philadel~ phia Brewery have been robbed of above five hundred chickens in the past few weeks, and until recently were unable to ascertain the identity of the thieves. A watch was set, and The full.grown animals could not get into the chicken-houses, but detailed their cubs to crawl in through the holes left for chickens to enter. Once inside the cubs killed the chickens and pushed them through the holes to the full grown coyotes waiting on the out side. who bore them away to their rendez- vous in the adjacent hills and ravines in that vicinity, which are swarming with these anil malls, and at night the air is vocal with their howls, the treble cries of the cubs forming 8 strange accompaniment to the deep bass of the elder contingent.
