THE INDIAN UPRIslNGS.

The annual Indian scares are now on.
and rumors of probable outbreaks of red
skins come from Dakota, from Colorado
from New Mexico, from Arizona and even
from our own Utah. Montana had her
scare a few weeks ago, and Idaho has not
been heard from. People along the west
ern border of Colorado express fear that
the Utes from Uintah will commit depreda-
tons, and at Standing Rock agency there
exists apprehension that the old chief. SIR
TING BULL, will inaugurate a sort of Eoly
war, after the style of the Mahdi in Africa
Existence in the west would hardly be
worth an effort to maintain if these stories
of Indian uprisings and general massacres
were not circulated as often as once wear
1t makes no difference that everybody is
aware that an uprising Is improbable.
everybody expects, if he does not insist
upon, the periodical sensation. The east
ern papers are taking the matter up and
inquiring if the troops are within easy
reach of the trading grounds in the
event of the Indians going upon the war
path, and are suggesting that it would 5e
"a disgrace to the army, the administration
and the country if a massacre were to
occur in this age.
Permit US to suggest to the anxious and
alarmed that there is about as much likeli
hood of an Indian uprising in the United
States as there is of a negro uprising or of
Chinese uprising. The Indians lack much

The PRoHIBITIoNIsTs and the anti tobac-
coites don't know whether to praise or con-
denim the new tariff law in reference to
its effect on liquor and tobacco. The price
OF cigars has already advanced in conse-
quence of the law, and those opposed to
the use of tobacco are undecided in their
minds as to whether this will decrease the
consumption of the weed or take more
money from smokers. The great breweries
of Buffalo have increased the price of beer
to s. barrel, and of course others will
follow suit. The brewers say they must
have Canadian malt to make good beer,
and to get that malt they have to increase
the price of beer enough to cover the duty.
If the Prohibitionists were certain that the
higher price of the beverage would de-
crease the consumption they would be
happy, but they fear that just as much
beer will be drank as before, in which
event more money will be wasted.

THE LIBERAL BLUNDER.

Said Liberal to this writer yesterday:
81 did not realize until within the past
three or four days what ridiculous politi-
cal blunder it was to nominate Judge
GOODWIN for Congress. 1 only thought of
him as an agreeable clever gentleman who
was familiar with the resources and needs
of the country. did not take Into account,
nor do l think other members of the party
took into account, certain facts which were
public enough and which should have
guided in the selection of candidate. Our
only hope of winning an election is by at
tracing the votes of young Mormons, who
hold the balance of power in the territory
and who are certain to hold it for years. In
making nomination we should have taken
a man who would have brought over some
OF these young voters. Instead, we seem
to have taken the man of all others who
has been conspicuous for his opposition to
the very class which we want. He has
not only said many mean and cruel things
about their parents whom they respect, but
has antagonized them personally by doing
his utmost to deprive them of
the ballot through which they
are eager to get control of the
territory and manage things in their own
way. don't believe we have a prominent
Gentle who is more offensive GO the very
men whose votes we are asking than
Judge GOODWIN, and l am afraid the re-
turns Of the election will make an ugly
demonstration of the conventions and the
party's mistake, for the party at first
heartily approved OF the nomination.
There was more Of this intelligent con-
fession, all of it in the same strain Of
course it was a blunder to nominate Coop
WIN. Wewere surprised at the time, that
the alleged shrewd politicians who rule the
Liberal party should have made the mis-
take of nominating man who has made it
his business to go out of his to be offensive.
and not merely that but unjust to the ele-
ment, which in the very natire of things
must hold political sway in this community
for long years to come; that is, which
must control unless their political power
shall be arbitrarily taken from them on &C
count Of the religious belief of themselves
or their parents. These young men, regard
less OF religion-and good many of them
profess no religion-cannot be expected to
rally round man who would make them
political outcasts in the land of their birth.
and deny them all nope Of political ad
vancement. Not only was the nomination
blunder as regards the young men native
TO the territory, but also as to the consider
able numbers of Gentiles who do not be-
ieve in disfranchisement, and who are on
record as squarely opposing the candidate
In this matter. We shall be astonished if
the returns from next Mondays voting do
not emphasize the blunder that was com
mitted to fatter the vanity of one individ-
ual.

UTAH AND NEVADA.

The San Francisco Bulletin is out
with labored article in advocacy of a
union between Utah and Nevada. Tt saws
that, to make Nevada a prosperous and pro-
gressive state there should be at least two
hundred thousand people engaged in pro
ductive INDUSTRIES and argues that as
Utah has these people the consolidation
would provide our western neighbor with
what she requires to make her prosperous
and progressive.
The line OF reasoning is not good. 1t is
not logical. Two hundred thousand people
engaged in productive industries in Nevada
would undoubtedly make Nevada prosper
Gus and progressive, but that number of
people engaged in productive industries in
Utah-though the name might be changed
could not improve the condition of things
prevailing in that vast region now included
within the boundaries of the Sagebrush
state. The burden of maintaining the gov
ernmcnt would simply be lessened as to
those living west of the present boundary
line, and made to rest more heavily on the
people residing in whaI is now Utah terri
tory. No matter how many people there
are here engaged in productive
industries they could not make the
arid plains and alkali fats of
Nevada fertile aud occupy them with
busy, industrious population. A. million
people utilizing the natural resources of
Utah, growing rich in their work, could not
make the soil of Nevada productive nor
could they inject lodges of gold, silver or
lead into the mountains of our western
neighbor. No matter now many people
may be able to live in Utah, they cannot
increase the resources of Nevada in the
slightest degree, nor make it possible for

Don NJ. DICKINSON, the Democratic boss
Of Michigan, the other day asked a Re-
publican United States Senator what sort
of men, as rule, HARRISON had appointed
to Office, and received this reply: "Well,
Phi tell you. He's taken men to fill the Of
fees from three classes, relatives; 2,
Presbyterians; 3, sons of guns" Mr..
DICKINSON tells this story, and thinks it a
good one, evidently forgetting some of the
appointments credited to him when he was
connected with the previous administra-
ton. He may never have appointed any
sons OF guns, but the communities to which
they were assigned will never get over
saying that certain of his appointees were
sons of something.

one more family to earn living in the de-
clining state.
The fact Is, Nevada is without the re-
sources to sustain population equal to
the work of maintaining state govern
ment. 1t is not question of more people,
/, Tor she cannot sustain those now there.
For twenty years or more there has been a
gradual decline of population, and there is
no reason to believe there will be any
change in this respect until the inhabitants
shall be reduced to the number who can
draw their support from the rail
ways in the state and those neces-
sary to tend the few stock ranches.
Mining is generally conceded to be thing
OF the past. The talk about converting it
into an agricultural state, is idle. The
Bulletin tells of schemes for inaugurating
an irrigating system similar to that which
has been so successful in Utah. These
schemes can come to- little or nothing.
They can never develop into success. The
first essential to irrigation is water, and
that is not to be had in Nevada; that is to
say, enough of it to do any good is not to
be had. If all the streams were taken out
and made to flow over as much land as they
can cover, Nevada would still be ridiculous
posing as an agricultural state. And then
what would agriculture amount to in
Nevada which lies within a few hours
haul from California where everything that
can be grown in Nevada can be grown at
not to exceed 25 per cent, of the cost in the
sagebrush state? California will always
be able to supply the Nevada farmer or
gardener with grain, fruits and vegeta bles
for less than half what it costs the
Nevadan to supply himself, to say nothing
OF the first great cost of the necessarily
expensive irrigation works.
TIE better way to treat Nevada is to let
her alone; TO let her continue 90 tue down
grade until the bottom has been reached,
when matters will be in No worse condition
| than before the settlement OF the arid and
forpidding region. 1t is easier for people
to get away than it was for them to go
there, and when the few now there can no
longer find the means OF living they will 60
elsewhere. Fairness, justice and decency
all suggest that it would be wrong and
cruel to inflict the load upon Utah which
has burden enough to bear.

The READER is invited TO consider this

The READER is invited TO consider this
libel:
"Mormonism teaches submission to every
constitutional enactment" Precisely. but who
is to decide what is and what is not to BE- held
constitutional? Is it the court of last resort of
the lard or is it the sovereign power of the
Mormon church? Tribune, Hay T. 1852
And also the following refutation of it:
All laws enacted in pursuance of the national
constitution are paramount. The decisions OF
the supreme court of the United States are final
and authoritative as to the validity and inter
probation of those laws, and it is the duty of all
good citizens TO render willing submission
thereto.-PeOple's Party PLATFORM.

Foreign Postage stamps.

"Are not postage stamps forged to a
great extent?"
"There is not much of that sort of
business done in this country now. A
few years ago there was a big dealer in
New York who prosecuted fraudulent
trade on a large scale. He advertised
enormously and sold millions of forged
stamps, even going so far OH one occasion
as to invent a certain foreign stamp in
order that it might be sold as great
rarity. But the law against obtaining
money on false pretense5 is applicable to
that sort of swindling and very little of
it goes on at present.
sit is scarcely possible to deceive a
collector Of experience with forged
stamp. The first thing he examines is
the engraving. If that bears scrutiny,
he inspects the paper, then lie looks at
the post cancellation, and finally at the
gum on the back. If no fault is found
with any of these particulars, the stamp
is surely good. The question as to
whether the paper is wove or laid and
how water marked is incidentally OBJ

Rational Architecture.

The very art element of architecture
has been the cause of its degradation.
From, the most useful of arts it has be-
come mostly ornamental. From mean
ing and expressing the utility of an edi-
flee it has come to refer to its appear
ance only. People have forgotten that
it arose from the necessity of man for
shelter, and view it as product of
the study or of the studio in which
beauty and aesthetic effects are the only
ends sought, while utility, convenience,
expression of intention, have all become
secondary considerations. Nothing could
be more erroneous, nothing more fatal
to the production of sound architecture.
Architecture is not the product Of the
Imagination, but theresult of experience
and foresight. The painter in his studio,
or the sculptor in his, has nothing to die
tate to his thoughts or force them into
certain channels. His fancy is free, and
he allows it to carry him where it will.
The architect, ON the other hand, is linn
tied by innumerable requirements and
difficulties, all of which are real and
physical, and all Of which must be over
come before his work can be success.
His creations are not intended for the
decoration of a gallery or to be preserved
under glass, but they must stand the
test of time and of climate, must bear q
relation to the manners and customs OF
the day.-Barr Ferree in Popular Science

The FEMININE Shirt.

The shirt has come to stay. A month
ago it was regarded as a within Of the
season; now it is established in favor
and considered an indispensable feature
of q well dressed woman's wardrobe.
Heretofore DR.. Mary Walker had sole
claims on the stiff shirt bosom. Later
came Mrs. Jeanette Thurber in her
tweed cutaway coat, jauntily buttoned
over waistcoat, and soft finished shirt,
and from the date of the American OPP
era to the last gasp of the Italian school
she remained the one devotee of the fem
mime shirt in New York society. Now
all the tailor made girls in town are
done up in stiff bosoms, standing collars
and long cuffs, and the old established
shirt makers have been called upon to
make to measure the neither garment 80
long the undisputed property Of men.
The result is ladys shirt as snug
fitting as glove and as comfortable as .
fichu, which under the lightest tailor
made bodice does not show crease. BY
means of darts the usual bagginess at
the sides is done away with, and but for
the draw string at the waist might be
appropriated by the men.-New York

Do Athletics Payq

Although man may succeed in plac-
ing new records to his credit for rum
ming, walking, jumping, etc., and derive
a great deal of pleasure in so doing. the
question naturally arises, Does it all pay?
What benefit is it to a man in after life
if he was in his youth able to cover a
short distance of ground in less time
than any of his rivals? Does it do good
to any man if he can walk mile in a
few seconds less than it has ever been
walked before? Athletes who have done
these things say that it does; that the
habits of training inculcated in their
early athletic days still stay by them,
and physically they are in better con-
dition than they would have been had
they not gained the habit of taking care
of themselves. A strong man is always
at a greater advantage in the world than
is weaker one, and is apt to keep up
his early training all through his life for
that reason if for no other.-Scribner's.
