TIRING OF BISMARCK.

The Young German Emperor Will Have

LONDON, Jan. 3O.-The Berlin press con
firms the reports that a GOODNESS has arisen
between Emperor William and Prince Bis
marck, growing out of certain expressions in
the speech from the throne. which the EN-.
peror persisted in retaining against the ad-
vice of the chancellor. This Is the ostensible
reason given; but it is believed that the cause
goes deeper. 1t is limited that radical differ
ences have arisen, and that the young en-

Winters Bad Luck.

The falling of the filly Norretta
at Chicago and the killing of the
jockey Abbas is another in the
long series of ill-happenings that
have fallen TO the lot of the Win
tiers stable. Last year Theodore
Winters was considered the luck
lest man on the turf. This seas
on he is considered the most I'M
lucky. If there is such a thing as
a racing 'hoodoo" it has taken up
it's abode in the Winters stable.
The ill-luck began last fall at
Westchester with the illness of Ell
Rio Rey. That illness ruined him,
for all the care that was given him
after the stable went to Nashville
was thrown away, and when all
the expenses of wintering and
training had been paid, a broken
down horse repaid them.
The two-year- olds of the Win
tiers stable that left the ranch in
Nevada in the spring were con-
sidered a superior lot, but they
have not earned their training ex-
penses yet, and there does not
seem any likelihood OF their win
ming their oats, the way they are
running now. Winters sold one
colt when in ST. Louis and gave
Don Jose away to some relatives.
Neither Of these have done any,
thing, although Don Jose was a
winner last year and did his part
toward swelling the purse OF bis
owner.
Joe Courtney has not come up
to his form of last year by any
means. The filly Norretta seemed
a probable winner on the day OF
the unlucky race and she was
backed heavily, only to trip in TAX
ing desperate chance and kill
her jockey. Winters even went
to the extent OF changing his
trainers in order to get some inn
provement from his horses, but
with the exception of Norretta the
new man Las made no showing
yet.

A custom is spIinging up in
this country of thanking people
through the press for their attend
ance on the sick, at funerals, as
sistance rendered at festivals, ETC.,
which we hope will be nipped in
the bud. Such methods of thank
ing people are very unsatisfactory.
1t is the duty of friends to attend
the sick and to attend the funer-
ais of friends, and it is not neces-
sary to publicly thank people for
doing their duty. If anyone has
rendered you a special favor
thank him privately, either in per-
son or by letter, and he will appre-
ciate it much more than general
thanksgiving expressed in a gen.
eral way through the press.-ven-

THOUGHTLESS WARDENS.
JULY 10

Wardens McComb and Cham
b IS of the San Quentin State
Prison, careful as they may seem,
have made grave mistake in al
lowing the much petted "trusties"
so many privileges near the arm
DRY. One prisoner carries a key
daily to the gun chest, moving at
all times among the worst con-
victs, and although a trusty he
holds the lives of every guard in
his hands, as in case of break
the chest could be thrown open
and the contents would in short
time be belching death and des-
truction among the guards who
take it upon themselves to allow
the prisoners few privileges.
The inhabitants in that part of
the country hold the management
responsible for these tfoughtless
acts, and the impression exists
among many of the best Informed
men that something must be done
and done quickly, as it is matter
of self-preservation.
The APPEAL is compelled to re-
mark, apropos of this develop
ment, that we can introduce tho
California Wardens To a man in
this State who will put them onto
the way to run a Prison with
perfect security to tie people liv-
ing right in the building. His
name is Frank Mccullough and
he manipulates the Nevada State
Prison like clock work.

kissing their babes to sleep to night thank
God that the cup they were forced TO
drink will be dashed from their children 5
lips. We believe that the great body OF
young Utah will rejoice openly or secretly
at the result. In the hearts OF gentiles
who have watched and work ed for this
day the thought is one of exultation and
profound thanksgiving. They have not
worked with selfish motives.
They have never from the first asked
aught but that Mormon power would as
simulate itself to American laws. They
have never worked for anything except
what they believed would be-of as much
benefit to the Mormons as to themselves.
The struggle has been to Americanize
Utah, and as the central state OF the
saints kingdom passes out of sanity con
troll, the Americans are able to point
proudly to their record here, which is not
stained by one wrong done by them, and
which has been simply one of a mighty
and long continued struggle to make the
triumph.
1T is a false charge that they have ever
attacked a religion, or that they have ever
sought to iniure a Mormon in person or
property. They have struck body blows
at the political assumption of Mormon
priests. that they had a right to rule and
construe for themselves the constitution
atty OF the law, the practice of which
was against all the teachings and COM
mands of civilization, which debases
women and degrades men.
That they have at last in a fair contest
wrung this chief city of Mormonism from
Mormon control is something to make
their hearts bound, something they have
a right to rejoice over, and their Joy is
heightened By the thought that Christian
civilization the world around will rejoice
with them. The year of jubilee is come.
The Herald, the organ of the Mormon
church. at this hour has not vet decided
upon what they will say on the subject"

DENVER, Colo, Word was received in
this city at IL a. N. of a very destructive
fire in progress at Fort Collins. 1t looks
like the whole business portion of the city
is doomed, the water pressure being so
weak fremen are unable to get a stream
higher than the second floor. while an
unusual high wind is blowing. Superin-
tendent Dickinson of the Union Pacific is
upon the ground and has ordered a spe-
cial train made mp at Greeley TO bring tie
fire department of that city to Fort Col
Inns. They will start in half an hour un-
less there is a change for tie better.
Lateral 1890 a. m. the fire was
virtually under control at Fort Collins.
The water works have succeeded in get
ting up a high pressure and the flames
are fast being subdued. The loss is es-
timated at between $4,000 aud S45. 600.
The heaviest loss falls upon the extensive
implement and warehouse of A. Fl. Pat
terson. which was completely Quilted, the
walls having fell and greatly assisted the
fremen in combining the fire to that and a
few adjoining buildings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The senate

chairman to favorabiy report the bill for
the admission of Idaho as a state We'd
nesday.
Cullom's bill approving the funding act
of Arizona and an amendment BY the
committee extends the life of the bonds
from twenty five to fifty years.
The house committee on Indian affairs
to-day took up the senate joint resolution,
authorizing the removal of the Apache
Indians, now prisoners at Marion barracks,
Ala, to Fort Sill reservation in Indian
territory. Lieut.. Col Lawton testified
that il the ADaches became dissatisfied at
Fort Sill they could easily reach their old
haunts. The sanitary conditions at Fort
Sill, he said. are poor; it is known as one
OF the worst posts in the country. Ger
on the warpath at least three times. w.
Brewster Cameron, OF Arizona. protested
earnestly against the removal of the
Apaches to Fort Sill.
The testimony of these two gentlemen
was in line with a protest signed by them
and sent out several days since. Cam
eron said there need be no trouble in get
ting a reservation east OF the Mississippi;
the people of Arizona and New Mexico
would themselves pay for enough land in
Vermont to settle the Indians. Delegate
Smith of Arizona said this movement in
behalf of the sick Indian was due to a
sickly sentimentality In the East. Wit
ness said if the Indian was to be treated
with such consideration, it might be well
to give the white man a show. These In
dams, if they once get back to the west
side of the great river, will find their way
to the San Carlos agency and Geronimo
would never rest until he had stirred up
trouble.
If the cloud of their presence is to be
cast over the people of Arizona, Smith
said it would be Just as well to bring the
Indians back to the White Mountain
reservation at once and go through the
experience prior to 1887 again. IF the
government will take one-third OF the
money it has expended tor agricultural
Implements by which it has endeavored
to teach Geronimo and his Indians airs Of
Leace. it can buy a reservation east of the
Mississippi river and build each OF them
a house. The proposed removal of
Apaches. Smith said, would paralyze
every industry in Arizona, and the peoD
pie of the territory" would enter a vigor
Gus protest against it, believing it ID great
outrage. Adjourned.
