LET US ALONE.

The newspapers east and west of US con-
tinue to talk about the annexation of Utah
to Nevada, and some of them seem to think
that the union has been agreed upon by
the powers that be and only waits formal
ratification. A New York journal which
has interested itself in the matter advises
the marriage next winter, and forever
bury a troublesome social and religious
problem, at the same time resurrecting the
moribund state of Nevada" The HERALD
doesn't want to find fault with its esteemed
contemporaries, but we must again suggest
to our friends of the press that Utah
doesn't desire annexation TO Nevada, and
there is no reason to believe that any CON
siderable number of the Nevadans are
eager to be hitched to Utah. The Sage
brushers realize that their state is fast
"going the way of all flesh" so to speak,
and they seem content to let her pass away
in peace Where the two communities are
so content to let things continue as they
are going why should outsiders concern
themselves over the outcome: Nevada is
asking nothing, and would probably pro
test if the proposed injection of the elixir
of life were attempted; Utah desires state
hood, but not on the TENS suggested. a
rich and fiourishing territory, with all its
inconvenience and ugliness Of govern
ment, is preferable to state handicapped
as this would be with the rotten borough
hitched to it.

ticing or which should induce sensitive
and self-respecting man to long desire to
occupy the place. The pay is Insignificant,
compared with what lawyer qualified for
the position can earn at the bar, and the
honor is not of that kind which men ap
preciate, for the judge soon learns that he
is naturally if not necessarily regarded by
the public as having gained his preferment
through something else than popular favor,
esteem and confidence. His tenure of Office
is also dependent on the will of the appoint
ing power, hence he is in sense the slave Of
a man, and must take into account the effect
that his acts and utter auces will have on that
man. If lawyer has the learning and
ability requisite to good judge, we take it
that he will feel himself good deal more of
a man off than on the territorial bench.
Judge JUDD retires with the confidence
and esteem of the bar and enjoying the re-
spect of the public for his honesty, ability
and integrity. He is a genial gentleman,
and stands high in his profession. Having
concluded to make Salt Lake his home, it
is not doubted that he will at once assume
a front position in our very able bar. THE
HERALD liked him well on the bench, and
is free to admit that it believes it will like
him better off.

ALREADY DEAD.

Even the more enthusiastic of the Idaho
statehood schemers are now confessing
publicly, as they have for some time been
doing privately, that they have had all
their trouble for their pains, the scheme
being acknowledged fat failure. While
the convention was in session it was posi-
BILE to keep alive a certain degree of popular
statesmen" who framed the constitution
sold their pay certificates at large dis
count and returned to their homes, state
hood fell fat and cannot be revived. 1t is
expected that the majority at the polls will
be in favor of the adoption of the
constitution, but the vote will be so small
that it is doubted that anybody will be
courageous enough to ask Congress to
admit the territory as a state with such an
insignificant population. The people are
simply Indifferent. They know that with
such an abominable constitution Congress
will not let the territory into the union,
hence the uselessness of doing anything in
the premises. The movement was ill-ad-
vised, was prompted by political dishon
esty, and we are therefore glad that it has
failed. When the proper time for the ad-
mission OF Idaho comes, and decent men
are in control, there will not be journal
in the territory that will do half as much
that time we hope and expect to see all the
schemes of the political humbugs and
tricksters come to naught.

THE GREAT STRIKE CONSIDERED.

A few days ago 10000 unemployed men
marched through the streets of London,
and one of the papers of this country
whose instincts are truly loyal as such
sentiments are gagged, says that it was a
pitiful spectacle of England's industrial
pauperism. 1.-The men evinced no DISPOSE
ton to break the law it says, ''but the
movement is a serious one as indicating
renewal of the bread riots of two years
ago" II then goes on from bad to worse
by saying that the number of idle workmen
in London is always so large that it only
requires a slight increase from any chance
cause to make it a menace to law and order.
Here is food for serious thought on the
part of those who are constantly advocat-
ing the English idea of free trade it says,
and it goes on to clinch its dishonest state
ment with a dishonest illustration: mo
city in America ever presented such
spectacle since the adoption of the pro-
tective system" And then, in order to
add deception TO deception, it goes on
to say in substance that it would
be a great sight for the American
people TO see ten thousand laboring men
marching through the streets of New York
or Chicago demanding work or bread, and
yet its "a frequent occurrence in England,
TO which country the Democratic party is
constantly looking for its free trade plat
form and policy" The self-suficient
scribe then closes his Vaccinations with
this, as he doubtless considers it a clincher:
''If the American people have good sense,
they Will let well enough alone" Aye,
truly.
There is so much of mendacity, dis
honesty, and unskilled deception in the
foregoing that it is only necessary to no
tice few points in connection with it, if
indeed it be necessary to notice it at all.
But for the fact that if uncontradicted it
might cause those who do not always
think of such things, but whose votes
count as much as those of the thinking
TO believe them, it would receive no consid-

sCHwATKA,s CAvE-DwELLERS.

When Lieutenant SCHwATKA, the Arctic
traveller and explorer, announced few
months ago that he had found race of
clif-dwellers in Chihuahua, Mexico, the
statement was very generally discredlted.
The lieutenant was out as correspondent
for a newspaper, and people were disposed
to look upon his announcement as sensa
tional, and purely in the interest of the
journal which was paying him for telling
marvellous stories. 1t was thought i'm
probable that any considerable number of
unknown people could be living in coun-
try with which the world was supposed to
be reasonably familiar. SCHwATKA was in
dignant when he learned how his discovery
had been received, and at once offered to
prove that he had made no misstatement
by leading doubters to the place where
there were thousands of human beings
living in caves and cliff houses.
A few days ago the lieutenant reached
Flagstaff, Arizona, on his return from
Mexico, and after examining the deserted
cllff-dwellings in our southern neighbor,
telegraphed that they were similar to those
he found in Mexico, and were undoubtedly

the cave-dwellers of Arizona, centuries ago
were driven out by the more power
full and warlike tribes, and that
they took refuge in Mexico, where,
hidden away from mankind, they have
continued to reside, maintaining their dis
tinctive peculiarities. The popular belief
has been that the race was extinct, and
there has been regret that it left nothing
beyond its rock bound caves and caverns,
with now and then some undecipherable
hieroglyphics, to tells its history or the
history of the country with which the peo-
pie named had been familiar in the cen
turtles gone.
There is much to learn of the North
American continent and its early inhab-
itants. Evidence of prehistoric races
dwelling here are frequently encountered,
but it is maddening to scientists to be
blocked at every turn when they attempt
TO dig into the story of the lost tribes. If
Lieutenant SCHWATKA's discovery shall be
verified. as now seems likely-the gentle

OLD THINGS AND DEAR.

There is no song like an old song That we have not heard for years; Each simple note appears to throng With shapes that swim in tears. It may have been a cheerful strain, But twas so long ago That glee, grown old, has turned to pain. And mirth has turned to woe. There is no friend like an old friend, Whose life-path mates our own, Whose dawn and noon whose eve and enc Have known what we have known. It may be when we read his face We note trace of care; 'Tis well that friends in life's last grace Share signs as smiles they share. There is no love like an old love; A lost, may be, or dead; Whose place, since she has gone above, No other fills instead. It Is not we'll ne'er love anew,
 For life were drear if so, But that first love has roots that grew Where others can not grow. There are no days like old days, When we, not they, were young; When all life's rays were golden rays And wrong had never stung Dear heart! If now OUT steps could pass Through paths of childhood's morn, And the dew of youth lie on the grass Which Times fell scythe has shornl Old song, old friend, old love, old days; Old things, yet never old; A stream that's dark till sunshine plays And changes it to gold; Through all winds memory's river on, Mid banks of sore regret, But gleam's on the peaks of long agone That softens sadness yet.

They Fished for Harmless Suckers and
 Caught a Tartar.
 There were five or six of us drummers put of Chicago, said one of them to a New York Sun man, who used to bring up in Cairo In a bunch on Sunday, and one of the gang was billiard expert. I don't mean that he could have held his own with the big guns, but he was 'way above the com mon, and runs of from thirty to fifty were everyday things with hlm. He used to dress up as farmer, steamboat man or cattle buyer, enter a billiard parlcr, and after fooling around for awhile he would catch sucker and stick him for the drinks all around. Nearly all the boys in Cairo had got on to his game, when one night we dropped into O'Neil's as a sort of cleaning up Our man was disguised as a ma chinist, having greasy clothes and grease on his hands, and when a proper opening oc- cured he put himself forward No one seemed to suspect him, and he certainly handled his cue like greenhorn. When he announced his deslre to try a game a man who looked like a river pilot was put forward He clawed off for awhile, and finally sa d he never played except for money. Our Jim didn't dare give himself away, but four or five of us offered to bank on him to the extent of hundred dollars,
 
 found takers right off and had to put up the long green. It was to be the best two out of three, and of course Jim played of on the first. Five was the highest run he made, while the pilot seemed to be doing his best and made one of thirteen. Jim was thirty-tive when the stranger went out, and believing we had sized up our victim we put up another hundred. Jim got the first shot on the new game, and as our money was up he played for all that was in him. His first run was thirty-seven, and we were tickled all over. Then the stranger took hold and ran forty-two, but Jim ran the game out on his next shot,
 This made game aplece, and the pilot won the "bank." He started off very easy. kept the balls well together, and after he had counted up to eighty-seven he halted and asked Jim if he wanted any more. Jim didn't. Neither did the rest of us. We tried to get out gracefully, but the whole crowd gave us the laugh and the informa- tion that the pilot was the expert of Chi cago, brought down there on purpose to take us down peg and keep us hard-up financially for the next ten years,
