A FEW days ago two japanese
gentlemen of the nobility of japan
were passengers on the Southern
Pacific railroad, on their way home
They left Japan on January 18th for
an extended tour through Europe
and America. They were intelli-
gent; one young man who had just
finished his education and received
his diploma as a doctor. He was
very anxious to learn everything
about the country and he stated
that during all his travels since he
left home, the United States OF
America was the greatest country
he had visited. He speaks English,
French and German. He was trav-
cling under the name of Aho
Everyone on the train were taken
up with the intelligence and gentle
manly bearing of the two japanese
on their way home, and all wished
Doctor Aho success.

MIR. BARTINEs ADDRESS.

Those who attended the opera
house on the afternoon of the 18th
heard probably as able and logical
a statement of the aims and accom-
plishments of the Republican party
as they will ever have the good for
tune to listen to. We refer to the
speech of Hon. Horace F. Bartine.
From beginning to end it was rare
piece of calm, close argument, COM
pact as to its reasoning, impregna-
BILE as to its logic; and its array of
historical facts was as convincing as
its clean-cut sentences were impress
sive. After hearing him, no auditor
need be told that though represent
ing the numerically small State Of
Nevada, Mr.. Bartine is an authority
in the National Congress, aspeaker
to whom his associates are pleased
to listen, a worthy colleague of those
Western giants, John P. Jones and
William M. Stewart. His thorough
acquaintance with his party's and
his country's history was evident in
every sentence of his remarks; and
his power and experience as pub
lie speaker were well illustrated in
the keenness and rapidity with
which he made his points. A DEM
ocratic friend at our elbow remarks:
II was more impressed with Mr..
Bartine's address than anything |
have yet listened to from the Re-
publican side. AS a Democrat l
would consider it the hardest one to
reply to-" This is no doubtful praise
for our Democratic friend thinks he
is able to reply to and refute any
thing that the best of the Republi-
cans can bring from their side of
the case.
Mr.. Bartine is near neighbor of
ours, and has already shown his
kindly feeling toward our Territory.
We are proud of him, and can
promise him, not only for Ogden
and Weber county, but also for the
whole of Utah, that he will always
be welcome guest within our gates.

COMMISSIONERS Alex. Campbell,
who under the administration of
President Cleveland, was sent to
Australia TO investigate not only the
wool interests of that country, but
as Commissioner to the Worlds Fair
held in Melbourne, some years ago,
is now on his way again to Austral-
ia as Commissioner of the Columbus
Fair to be held at Chicago in 1898.
He was unanimously selected by the
Board of Control of the Fair on ac-
count of his complete knowledge of
the agricultural community and in
dustries of Australia, in order to
have fine exhibit from that coun-
try to the fair, the people of Aus
tralia wished him to come out again.
Mr.. Campbell is gentleman full of
all useful information and no bet
ter selection could have been made
by the Board of Control. He has
large interests in West Virginia and
also several large cotton plantations
in Louisiana.

THERE were two accidents on the
S. P. last week, one at Wadsworth,
and the other just west of Ogden.
The trains going East and West were
delayed for hours before the road
was finally cleared for travel. The
same of old problem has not yet been
solved, chow two trains going in OPP
posite directions on the same track
can pass each other" Perhaps some
engineer will solve the problem and
take out a patent how to do it.

An actual strike of sex" has
lately taken place among the women
of the Akona tribe in Western Afri-
ca. According to the Woman's
Herald, they protested against the
treatment to which their fathers,
husbands and brothers subjected
them. "Reminiscences being of no
avail, they tried a stronger measure,
A neighboring tribe with whom the
Akonas were not on good terms was
appealed to, and it was agreed to
take in all the dissatisfied women.
A village awoke one morning to find
all its women and girls had gone,
and work of almost every kind at a
standstill. Messengers were sent
after the women, with instructions
to grant their demands in full.
