| saw a little of human nature. The
engineer blew a long whistle cut up into
little ones. which to the traveller means
danger. SO popped my head out Of the
car window IN time TO see a man who
had more gall than discretion. for he had
attempted to cross the track in front of
the engine. The buggy was upset and
the horses were running away, while the
old rooster and his wife were picking
themselves up. And here Is where the
human nature comes in. The first thing
the old man did on getting on to his feet
was to put his hands behind his back
and look for ms team. And what do
you suppose the woman did? Feel for
broken bones? Nay, verify; she gave
her skirts a shake, and before asking the
old man if he was killed, she felt of her
bonnet to see if it was straight and
smoothed out her bangs.

Upon the principle of better late than

manifesung a degree Of solicirude for the
interests of the agricultural community
that would have been commendable four
or five months ago. If these interests
had been taken into the account while
the silver bill and the tariff bill were
being formulated and enacted by the

today. But 1t Is not too late 70 make

ADVICE TO FARMERS.

From the Smith Center Pioneer Bulletin.
We say to the farmers, sow rye and
tllrky wheat. Sow it in the dust, if it
don't rain before you can get it into the
ground. Some of the most successful
wheat raisers tell us they prefer sowing
when the ground Is dry, that their
chances for a good yield is always better
if the grain is sown when the ground is
dry than when wet. Don't be skeptical
and think it isn't going to rain. If you
are you will be fooled and find out your
mistake too late. \ good field of rye
will be an excellent thing to carry your
stock through TO January. and then you
can turn it again early in the spring
We are told that turky wheat will stand
nearly as much pasturing as rye and then
make a crop. As to that we do not pre-
tend to know, but we think it would be
well for our farmer friends to give it a
trial. You should at least remember that
unless you sow you can not reap. We
have raised good wheat in this country
and we believe it can be done again.

TWO CONTESTS.

There were two contests in and near San
Francisco the other day Of widely different
character and decidedly dissimilar in
fluences. One was a match between
butchers, for purse of some hundreds Of
dollars, TO determine which could kill and
dress an OK in the shortest space of time /;
the other was a match between carrier
pigeons owned by members of the Homing
Club. The first was an exhibition that
catered to the tastes of those that love
blood-letting the other was useful and
inoffensive test of the speed of one class of
natures servitors and beautiful instance
of the unerring instinct that guides the
. carrier-pigeon in Decline to its home
cote.
There is in this age, as in all that have
preceded it, powerful attraction for men
in the contests Of physical vigor, of skill
in handiTaft, and in the tests of high
training to which animals have been
brought. But II cannot be maintained
that butchering contests in the presence
of the multitude have any other than a
brutaiizing influence upon the on-lookers.
The slaughtering of animals for food uses
is a necessary vocation, but it is not desir-
able that the business lie conducted in the
presence OF the general public, or that il
shall be made means of contributing to
the taste for contests. Indeed, it may well
be advised that such scenes be inhibited
by law.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

No decision Of wider scope or more vital
Importance has been rendered by the Su-
preme Court of the United States since the
close Of the war of the rebellion than that
Just handed down in the Utah case. The
case grew out of proceedings under the
Edmunds anti-polygamy law that dissolved
the Mormon Church business corporation,
or so-ealled "Zion Cooperative Associa-
tion," and declared the property of the
corporation escheated to the United States
Government. The corporation resisted, of
course, and the case went into Court The
decision was for the Government, and an
appeal was taken. The Supreme Court of
the United States now decides that Con-
gress had the power to enact such law,
and that the decision below must stand.
The Court then proceeds to read the Nor
mon authorities a lecture that they will
never forget, since it is accompanied by an
order that strips them of vast property
and vests it in the Government of the
United States. The Court holds that Con-
gress has the power to annul legislative
Acts in Territory; that the chartering of
the corporation by the Territorial Legisla-
ture was not contract binding upon Con-
gress, or one that it could not impair. The
Court athrms the view taken by the United
States, that the Mormon Church is re-
bellious; that it long has sought, and still
is seeking, to establish practices in the
name of religion that are forbidden by good
conscience, the laws and civilization. 1t
holds that the Government has the right
10 discipline contumacious bodies that re-
sist and defy It's authority, and that the
whole history Of the Mormon question is
one of patient waiting, forbearance and
kindliness on the part of the United
States, and of rebellion, defiance of
the laws, continuance of polygamy, con-
tumacious conduct, and the actual lifting
OF the arm Of rebellion on the part of the
Mormons. The decision is very broad in
Its application, as will be obvious to even
the casual reader. 1t afiirms power in
the Congress of the United States that sets
at rest forever the claim in territorial
quarters to any independently apart from
Congress; that to secure obedience
to the laws and suppress resistance to
authority, Congress has the right to de-
clare the property of corporations, such
as that of the Mormon Church, escheated to
the General Government-where there is
no better successor to it-as punishment
for contumacy by the corporate organiza-
ton which was maintaining system in
imical to the enlightened sentiment of the
age and the security and perpetuity of the
Government.

and general ability. 1t will be a note
worthy assemblage and one that will COM
mand the highest respect in New York.
Such procedure as this is the proper line
to pursue in the adjustment of judicial
systems to the developments of the age
and the needs of changing conditions.
There is not to be any revision of the Con-
stitution recommended, the convention be-
ing confined to the subjects specially COM
mitted to it by the Legislature. Some of
these bear close relation to those dis
cussed recently by the State Bar Associa-
ton of California The deliberations of
the New York body will, therefore, be
watched in our own State with much in
terest, and its conclusions will be received
with high consideration.
