The Salt Lake Election.

The second defeat of the Mormons i'm
Salt Lake last Monday is full of promise
for the Territory of Utah. 1t indicates
that the power of the Mormon Church
TO defy the moral sentiment of this
country is broken, and that the law is
triumphant in the stronghold of
polygamy. 1t was not question of
party politics that divided the people
in Salt Lake Monday. 1t was munich
pal election, but Republicans and Dem.
ocrats were unknown in the contest.
1t was the law-abiding people against
the Mormon Church in its determine
ton to continue to ignore law and
morals and place itself above the law
of the land. On one side were the
Liberals or Gcntiles, and on the other
the Peoples party or the Mormons.
The Liberals claim victory of 1000
majority, and the Mormons concede
that they are beaten by 400 majority,
but they charge fraud and threaten to
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States This victory places
Salt Lake in the hands of the Gentiles
who have so long struggled against the
overwhelming power of the church
The election six months ago was the
first defeat for the Mormons when the
Liberals succeeded in electng MEM
Der of the Legislature. This gave the
Liberals hope, and the campaign has
been an almost continuous one since
then until the elimination i'm the victory
of Monday.
This victory of the Gentiles in Salt
Lake will do more to open the door for
Utah To come into the Union than any
thing in the history of the Territory.
1t points the way to the triumph of law
where the Mormon Church has been
the only authority, and has defed law.
And it gives some assurance to the
other States that Utah as a member of
the Union would be law-abiding and
law-fearing Inter ocean.

THE POEM THAT LINCOLN LOVED.

me for years, which was first shown me
when young man by friend, and
which | afterwards saw and cut from Il
newspaper and learned 10y heart.
would give good deal To know who
wrote it, but | never have been able TO
ascertain Then, half closing his eyes,
he repeated the verses:
Obi why shou Id the spirit of mortal be proud
Like a swift fitting meteor, fast flying cloud,
The fash of the lightning, break of the wave,
He passes from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves Of the oak and the willow shall fade
BE scattered around and together be laid
And the young and the old and the low and the
high
Shall molder to dust and together shall ie
The infant a mother attended and loved,
The mother that infants affection who proved
The husband that mother and infants who blest,
Each, all are away TO their dwellings of rest.
The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in
whose eye,
Shone beauty,and pleasure her triumphs are by:
And the memry of those who loved her and
praised
Are alike from the minds of the living erased.
The hand of the king that the scepter hath borne
The brow of the priest that the inter hath worm
The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave
Are hidden and lost in the depths Of the grave
The peasant whose lot was TO and to reap,
The herdsman. who climbed with his goats up the
steep,
The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread
Have faded away like the grass that we tread
The saint who enjoyed the communion Of heaven
The sinner who dared 10 remain unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just.
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust

NEARLY two hundred lives were lost
in the coal mine disaster at Abersychan,
England, last week. The cause of the
explosion was the flooding of pits adj
joining that in which the explosion oc-
Cured, which dislodged the gas and
forced it into the pit where work was
in progress, and there it was ignited
and exploded Notwithstanding the
frequency of these accidents there
seems to be no difficulty in securing
men who are willing to engage in the
dangerous work.

IT is to be hoped that the proposed
legislation looking to the legalizing of
lottery schemes in North Dakota will
not prevail. That new state should
take up and foster an institution upon
which nearly all people look with so
much disfavor would indeed be unfor-
tunate, and tend largely to retard its

pair OF shears and cut OF her hair close
to her head. Then he retrcated hastily
around the corner OF the building. No
trace has been since found OF him.
The young lady was terribly frightened

she was the possessor Of a head of beauti-

agement had kept its eye on the mineral
from the time 1t had been located and
when the attempt was made to move it, an
action in replevin was begun as soon as il

The amount and value Of this batch Of
mineral is variously stated, but the best
information obtainable is that there is
about 600 or 700 pounds OF it, and that it is
worth,ea, 900 in cash. 1t is the rich steph-
ante that is met with in the Aspen that
is worth from g to g per pound.
The man who took the ore to the sampler
is known. He has not been arrested, but
Is under surveillance and is compelled to
report to the sheriff every two hours.

the servant and three small children were
alone In the house, and the burglar awak
ened them and held an extended converse
tion, warning them TO refrain from
screaming or making an outcry. He ran.
sacked the entire house, and went about
his work boldly, turning on the electric
lights as he entered each room. He told
Mrs. Booker to remain in bed, and when
she pleaded with him to leave some little
money with them with which to purchase

"Weu, don't want the death Of the
child on my hands, and will leave you
three or four bills" but he didn't leave a

The German Election,

BERLIN, Feb. 2O.-The general cleo
ton for members of the Reichstag took
place today. The size of the vote polled
was phenomenal. The election officials were
overwhelmed with work at the polling
places, and they were unable to cope with
the crowds Of electors who, during the din
ner hour hastened to deposit their votes.
majority Of the factories were closed
during the day. Many anti Semitic Con-
servstives voted for the socialist candi-
dates In order to spite Virchow
A great sensation was created here at
o'clock this afternoon by the sudden re
ceipt Of an order from the Emperor for all
the troops comprising the garrison Of the
city to march to Kreuzberg forthwith. The
order was instantly complied with.
The people were almost panic-st-icken
until it was announced that the maneuver
was simply one of the military surprises
inaugurated by the Emperor to test the
efficiency of the garrison to repeI a sudden
attack by an enemy.
The great fact of the election is the enor-
nous and unexpected increase in the
Socialist vote. This party manifested a
strength in places where it was unknown
before. The other parties will have to
make firm combination against 1t to stem
the tide Of supplementary elections, Of
which there will be many. In Berlin
alone the Socialists vote increased 10000
while the Conservatives lost 1000.
In the First Second and Third districts
Of this city supplementing elections will
be necessary, also in many outside points.
At midnight the apparent result is that
tho government parties have lost fifteen
seats and the Socialists throughout Ger
many have doubled their vote. Among the
prominent Socialists elected are Liebknecht
and Singer, the latter defeating Richter,
one Of the most distinguished leaders Of
the German Liberal party.

tory, may be tempered with and put off on
tne public as strictly pure paint. 1t is not
supposed that every person who has Oc-

detect the true from the false, but where

used to an advantage.
To know when white lead is pure, rub
little of it in the fingers and throw it on a
piece of live charcoal: if pure the whole of
it will turn yellowish hue, and in few
minutes will take the form of metallic
glObules, but if adulterated there will be a
residue of white earthly matter. To detect
aduteration in vermillion, place little on
a red hot iron; if pure it Will evapOrate en-
tirely, if not pure the result viii be the
same as with adulterated lead. Chrome
yellow may be tested by pouring a little
nitric acid upon it; if it eifervesces it is
adulterated, if it does not it is pure. Gen
uine indigo Will burn, adulterated will
not. Ultramarine blue is not effected
by nitric acid when adulterated,
but if pure it VIII lose its
color as soon as the acid strikes it, The
cost Of genuine white lead and other col
ors can readily be obtained by consulting
any of the numerous trade journals The
colors desired being determined one can
form an approximate estimate of what
they should cost-simply ground in pure
linseed oil-and any offer of pure paint
at price which the cost for the raw ma
teral precludes, should be carefully
avoided While II Is of great inheritance
that the pigments should be as good and
pure as possible, it is even of greater i'm
portance that what goes into them should
be Of the best material and make. The
best paints may and viii prematurely
perish if poor Japan or oil be used. \ poor
paint will wear much longer with good
Japan and oil than good paint with poor
