FISH ANB GAME LEGISLATION

AT each session Of the Utah Legis-
lature, attempts are made TO remodel
the statutes which relate to fish and
game. The House spent most Of
yesterday afternoon in considering
a bill having this object in view,
and the proceedings convinced spec.
tators that the solons were trying to
legislate upon subject concerning
which most of them knew very
little They were apparently desir-
Gus TO serve the best interests OF the
people relative to the matter, but did
not seem to know how to reach that
object.
The only way in which this Terri.
tory can be provided with n good
fish and game law is to have a me-
thodical and scientific investigation
OF the whole subject made by COM
petent persons, and a law framed in
accordance with its results. Who
knows enough Of the habits of the
fishes, birds and animals found In
this elevated mountain region
to be able TO make an in
telligent statement of them? Prob
ably not a member Of the rs
senibly claims to have such knowl-
edge, even from hearsay. And vet
to legislate upon this subject in the /
absence OF this information is like
medicine to a patient
in the absence of n diagnosis.
The fish and game Interests Of the
Territory are very important. They
involve q food supply for the people.
and should be protected ami fostered
oy intelligent laws. That laws re-
ating to them may be intelligent.
L is absolutely necessary that more
information thar that in
he possession Of the present Legis-
AZURE, relative to the subject, shall
De procured. The usual method.
Under these circumstances, is for a
to be appointed to collate
acts, make observations, and report
o the assembly a bill adapted to
he ends desired.

In street cars, on the streets, In
all public places, and ut the
firesides of the people, it is
proper that the shameful character
of this great outrage should be dweit
upon so that the community may
be educated up to a proper detesta-
ton Of the methods by which the
conspirators won the election.
People have a right TO discuss this
matter, and express their hatred of
this great wrong, even though they
may not have such a personal
knowledge of it as would qualify
them to testify before q grand jury
condemning it. A threat 10 sum-
mon persons overheard talking
about it, to give evidence before a
grand jury is intimidation Of n
character which confesses what IT
'eeks TO conceal.

The foregoing is from this morn
lng's issue Of the organ and de.
fender of the conspirators who are
popularity held responsible for rob-
bing the people at the polls last
Monday. 1t is very desirable in
certain quarters that the means by
which that robbery was accom-
plished should be forgotten. All
talk about a registration car making
a trip over the Rio Grande
Western Railway is especially
irritating to a certain class of
persons now in this city. To be
reminded of the nefarious means by
which triumph is gained is gener-
ally exasperating to the persons |
who gained it. 1t mars the joy with |
which they glOat over their victory.
Tor remorse is sensation which few |
men have the power to subdue at
WIZ, when circumstances exist of a
nature to produce it.
1t has never been denied, but viz
tuaily admitted. by the parties
chiefly concerned, that a registra-
ton car went over the Rio Grande
Western, and that inmates of it
registered men by the hundred who
had no right to vote in this CITY.
This is a topic which ought to be
discussed and ventilated by all good
until a public sentiment
hall be created that shall produce a
Universal adherence of the foul
'rime against the elective franchise.

1T WILL HARDLY PASS

FROM further information which
has come to hand respecting tn,
nature of the anti-"Mormon" bill
recently introduced by Senator Nc,
Denald in the Canadian Parlia,
ment, 1t would appear that 1t ex-
ceeds anything of the kind attempt
ed even in the United States. An
exchange says of it:
at forbids any kind OF marriage re-
iation with more than one woman or
one man, or the entering into what
among the sect called the Church OF
Latter-day Saints, commonly known
as Mormons, are known as spiritual
or plural marriages Il is also pro-
vided that il shall not be necessary, in
order to procure conviction, TO prove
positive cohabitaiion between the D r
ties accused, and wife or husband Of
defendant may be used as a witness
against him or her. The bill was read
the first time"
II such are the provisions Of this
bill, it may have been framed
in Utah and sent to Canada TO be
introduced "by request" Surely
no Canadian lawyer or statesman
would ever devise an intended law
which should provide that Sin
order to procure conviction, " posi-
tive proof OF the offense should not |
be required. The British constitu-
ton has not yet been sufficiently |
and hoReycombed 10 |
be rotten enough to admit Of the
passage Of such legislation. "The
bill was read the first, timev by its
title probably. When it comes TO
be considered by sections. its an.

'ideration.

The typical American OF the educated
classes Is not very like an Eng glishman;
he is rather more like q Frenchman,
but still more like an American. You
can not say where he differs in appear
ance from the Briton; 1T may be in his
necktie, his boot, or the way in which
ho brushes his hat. He seldom looks as
If he lived much in the open air or was
fond of field sports. He is much more
vivacious than an Englishman, moro
original in manner, more fertile in
ideas, more modern in every way. He
is almost too good company; too efer-
vescent for some natives of Q slow,
fogy climate. He is enviably detached
from our internal politics and social
confusions. These are oil pretty indif-
ferent to the native of a country which
has elbow-room, a militia which shoots,
and practically no neighbors. He is
usually fond Of the Irish and their
cause, but he never goe' to Ireland. He
does not mind explaining to you the
niceties of baseball; but have known
an elderly Frenchman to take more I'M
terest than he does in cricket. lie seeml
to me to know great deal about COOK
cry and delicacies Of strange names,
American or French; but he has, per-
haps, no very high opinion Of our poor
culinary efforts. He is not curious,
however, in strange mixed juleps and
cocktails, ETC., like the representative
American of the stage. He very seldom
talks with an English accent, and even
when he does, his idioms betray.him.
He takes Platonic interest in poker,
but is no gambler. He is much too
familiar with English life to be keenly
curious about it, and he never dreams
of going to see the lions. He is
rather fond of the play, knowing
and caring very much more
about our authors, actors, pieces,
etc., than I do, for one. He is kind,
courteous, ingenious, obliging, good
fellow, and welcome because he is in.
finitely more alive than most of US. To
bring him into room full of detected
Britons is like pouring fresh water
among the fish in a pail. He is patri-
otic, but no Chauvaniste, and is aware
that Bunker Hill was but British de-
feat He does not talk about the war
and Abraham Lincoln. We are sorry
when he goes away and glad when he
comes back again with new budget OF
good stories, for if he has national
trait, it is the swapping of anecdotes.
He is not man that any body would
think of trying to impose upon, but he is
not tdemonstratively acute. Never have

can who told pointless stories.-Andrew

A Live Frog in . Rock.

Many well-authenticated stories Of
the finding of live toads and frogs in
solid rock are on record, and that such
things are possible was demonstrated
here, when workman engaged in Var
ley & Everilps lime rock quarry, north
Of the city, broke open large piece Of
rock, which had been blasted out, q
frog hoped out of a pocket in the CEN
tor of the stone. OF course, the occur
renee created q tremendous sensation
among the workmen, and operations at
the quarry were for the time suspended,
and the movements of the frog were
watched with great interest The ami
NAL was somewhat smaller than the or
dinary frog and was perfectly white.
Its eyes were unusually large and brill
iant but the frog was apparently
blind. Where the mouth should have
been there was only line, and on the
feet there was 3 dark, horny substance.
Mr.. Everill at once took charge of the
curiosity and put it in a tin can, but the
frog died yesterday morning. He
brought it down town and it was exam
ined with interest by a large number Of
people, and it was afterwards presented
to the museum, where it will be pre-
served in alcohol.-Salt Lake Herald.

biggest and ugliest elephants ever ex-
hibited in this county. At the time
speak of this elephant was travelling
with the Van Amburgh show, which was
a celebrated one fifteen or twenty years
ago. Old Tip, as we called him, was a
chronic kicker, and stood no fooling
from any one. His trainer had to be
constantly on isguard, for the elephant
had disposed of one or two gentlemen
whose confidence in their pluck and
ability to handle Tippo had led them to
take charge of him, and he was plainly
keeping his eye out for an opportunity
to add another one to his score. Old
Tip never passed day without doing
something to keep up his record as a
pachyderm of strong individuality of
character, and the incident am going
to relate was one sufficient in itself
alone to mark this elephant as a beast
with ideas of his own and will mighty
enough to carry them into execution, no
matter what the consequences might be
to himself or to others.
"We. had been giving day and
nights show at Port Jervis, and the
next day were to astonish the natives
Of Pike County, Pa, by pitching our
tents at Milford, the county seat, seven
miles below Port Jervis. To getto Mil
ford we had to cross the Delaware river
at Port Jervis. At that time the bridge
across the stream there was reported to
be in decidedly shaky and dangerous
condition; in fact, it fell down two or
three days after we were in Port Jervis,
and the managers of the show concluded
not to trust ponderous Old Tip on the
structure. The river was fordable a
quarter of mile or 80 below the bridge,
and the elephant was taken to that spot
