THE POLICE TO BLAME.

The fact that the United States marshal
raided notorious gambling house the
other day and arrested the proprietor and
the players ought not to be construed as
giving Salt Lake city black eye. The
circumstance does not argue that gambling
is carried on here more openly than at any
time during the past eighteen months, nor
that the games are more numerous than
they have been. We presume there has
never been day within year and half
when the marshal could not have walked
unopposed into a gambling house and ar
rested just as many men as he captured the
other day.
The other fact that the United States
marshal, on Sunday last, visited seven
liquor saloons running with open doors as
on week days, is no evidence that the city
is worse than usual in respect Of Sunday
saloons. Twice, if our memory serves
Alright, within eighteen months the pro-
prietors of the tippling shops have been
told by the city marshal to keep the doors
Of their 50 oons closed on Sunday, and we
believe the majority Of the keepers obeyed
for just one Sunday on each occasion. Who
IS there that DOESN'T know that it has been
just as easy to buy whisky on the Sabbath
as on Monday or Saturday! Who hasn't
seen the saloon door on the swing and heard
the clinking of glasses and the carousals OF
the tipplers on Sunday? Who hasn't seen
drunken men on the streets the first day of
the week7
We say the action of the marshal does
not argue that gambling is either on the
increase or is practiced more openly than
heretofore, nor that the Sunday saloon Is
new thing. The arrests made by the

LET HER In.

New Mexico is going to Congress this
winter with an earnest petition for state,
hood. Her request should be promptly
complied with. She has asked for admis-
sion to the uuion several times, and has
supported her appeal with fairly good
arguments, but has invariably encountered
opposition; politicians who were afraid of
her party politics and those who have been
personally interested in continuance
of territorial form of government
have up to this time been able to defeat the
statehood schemes. One of the forceful
points urged against admission until two
or three years ago was that the people, or
majority Of them, were ignorant of our
form of government, and were really alien,
although born on American soil and most
OF them under the stars and stripes. 1t
was argued that they did not speak the
English language, that they regarded
themselves as subjects who had been con-
quered rather than as citizens with all the
rights and privileges enjoyed by all other
citizens, and that their true allegiance was
to the government of Mexico. There was
something, although not much, In
this allegation. Some of the older
inhabitants never took kindly to
the Americans, upon whom they looked
as conquerors, and perhaps they hoped for
the restoration of their land to tue mother
country. Those old people held aloof. as
much as possible, from the Americans, but
the feeling was never entertained by the
younger generation, and to- day the native
born population is as patriotic as others.
and as devoted to the institutions of the
republic. ermarriages are common.
and the fact is lost sight of in little while
that there are distinct races which were
for long time antagonistic. The federal
government also took a course to in
uensify the bitterness of feeling ON
the part Of the natives By ignor-
ing their foremost men in max.
ing appointments to Office, invariably
sending to the territory politicians who
were too often ION the make" or were
foisted upon the people because there was
no other place to put them where thew
would be out of the way. The federal ad-
minlstration Of New Mexico has been both
corrupt and incompetent. For many years
the territory presented an unbroken line of
scandals growing out of the government
manipulation Of affairs.
Another ground for opposing statehood
has been the ignorance of the masses. The
priests were in absolute control of the PEG.
pie. and the former opposed any system OF
education which took the control of the
schools out of their hands. The biz
ranchers, many of them Americans, were
also prominent in efforts to defeat the prop

PARAGUAY.

BY the old Biographies, among the polit-
ical divisions of South America, boys and
girls became familiar with the names of
Paraguay and Uruguay; yet to the outside
world, little has been known of them, es-
pecially Paraguay, excepting their boun-
daries, capitals and principal productions.
Or late, we read much of trade relations
between Uruguay and the Argentine con-
federation, but Parag uay is almost terra
incoGnitG.
Paraguay is an inland republic of South
Amirica, with an original area of 9l,9S0
square miles, a country, until within very
few years, without cities and almost with
out civilization. Tns language spoken is a
mixture OF Indian with Spanish In 1911
1t achieved Independence and was ruled by
dictator for twenty nine years, during
which no foreigners were allowed en-
trance or exit. Since 1870, the govern
msnt, though nominally republican, has
been under the control of its big neighbor,
Brazil. La 1886 its population was 80. 0O0.
In 1887 its army consisted of 623 men, and
1t had only one railway aud telegraph line,
forty FIVE miles long.
Hlbnlh the past Tour or i've years there
has been what the Americans would call a
boom IN Parag nay, its area being extended
to 10000 square miles, making the country
about one-hfth larger than Great Britain
and ireland. The capital, Asuncion, has
now population of upwards OF %, 900. It's
government is modelled after ours. During
Its i've years war, 1865 10 1870, against
three of its more powerful nsighbors. the
country was completely ruined; but now,
owing to the extraordinary richness of the
SOIL watered by the rivers Paraguay and
Parara, to its healthy climate, aud to its
geographical position, it is making such
strides that it must soon become Que of the
most important states of South America.
The country is covered with most valuable
timber and its rivers are, most of them.

is 1T A TRICK?

If the story THE HERALD printed yester-
day is true, that Messrs. HARRISON and
BLAINE have had an Understanding and
II the understanding is as reported, b. H.
may as well hang his harp on the willows.
According to the protocol, Mr.. BLAINE is
to be left in the hands of his friends, he to
say nothing and to do nothing looking to-
ward a presidential nomination. His
friends are to let Indiana alone, and HAIR
R1soN's friends in Maine, which means the
Office holders, are to keep hands off SO as
TO let BLAINE delegation go from that
state 20 the Republican national convention
This is ''soft thing'' for BLAINE, and the
promoters Of his interests want nothing
better. HARRISON couldn't carry Maine
with BLAINE out and Indifferent, whilst
IL 10 no two to one that he can carry In
diana, even if he has BLAINE's assistance.
But this alleged arrangement or agree
ment is too slick. There is too much polish
on it. Mr.. HARRISON has, as q presidential
candidate, stake SO large that he cannot
afford to take any such chances. The
strong probabilities are that if we are to
correctly interpret this new declaration of
the purposes of the two leading Republican
aspirants, we must read between the lines
that Mr.. BLAINE he's given Mr.. HARRIS ON
absolute assurances he can have the whole
track all to himself. In the first place he
doesn't believe any Republican can be cleo
ted next next year, and secondly he is con-
WINGED that his health will not permit
him to make the race. Otherwise there is
no occasion for dickering with Attorney
General MILLER or any friend or coterie of
friends Of the chief magistrate. If Mr..
BLAINE wants the Republican nomination
nc need not be beholden to them. He owes
the administration nothing. HARRISON
dare not turn him out of the cabinet, nor
dare he undertake to make things so I'M
pleasant that the secretary's resignation
would be equivalent to recognizing himself
expelled. But Mr. HARRISON wants BLAINE
TO remain as his constitutional adviser, if
be can feel sure OF his not being in the
way of the re election project. The au-
thoritatlte announcement by BLAINE OF
his being out Of the presidential contest
would raise up host OF new candidates

THG MINING CONGRESS.

Utah has sent strong and able delega-
ton 10 the Denver mining congress. The
gentlemen who represent this territory
may be relied upon to mako their presence
felt IN that gathering Of brainy, progressive
men. Furthermore, our delegates are all
familiar with the great industry which
takes them to the convention, and with
several Of them their knowledge is not
theoretical, but was acquired in the school
OF experience. What they know they have
learned in a practical way; hence when
they talk il will be worth while to listen to
them.
Another thing: II is certain that the sill
yer coinage question will be among the
chief matters discussed in the congress:
1t is assumed that the Utah delegates are
free coinage advocates; indeed, they could
hardly be otherwise, their lives having
been passed in the silver-producing section
OF the United States. Being the friends of
silver aud OF the people let US hope that the
delegation will stand firmly and unitedly
for the full rights of the white metal. Let
US hope that they will not be led into COM
promises and the endorsement of proposi
tlons which fall short of full Justice.
Let US hope that they will take the
position that silver is money
metal in all that the name
implies and maintain that attitude to the
end, insisting that gold shall have no ad-
vantage in our laws or at the mints. The
coinage of the American product PROPOSE.
ton is wicked and deceitful, as everybody
should understand by this time, the most
hidebound of the goldites having cheerfully
assented to it. So also is any proposition
wrong which aims to make the government
a Spectator in silver as the present law
does. Justice will never be done while
gold can triumph over silver. II this fac.
shall be held steadily in view by the Utah
delegation Utah will be proud of her repre-
sentation in the congress.

A Method to Determine Death.

The French Academy ofSciences ten or fifteen years ago offered prize of q 500 for the discovery of some means by which even the inexperien- ced might at oncedetermine whether in a gwen case death had ensued or not. A physician obtained the prize. He had discovered the following well known phenomenon;--
 Ii the hand of the suspected dead person is held towards a candle or other artificial light with the fingers extended and one touching the other, and one looks through the spaces be- tween the fingers towards the light there appears q scarlet red color where the fingers touch each other, due to the blood stiil circulating, it showing itself through the tissues which have not yet eongested. When life Is entirely extinct the phenomenon of scarlet space between the fingers at once ceases. The most extensive and thorough trials established the truth of this observation.--Tit Bits.

Two Kinds of H otel Thieves.

The overcoat thieves who raid the hotels at intervals are abroad in the land again, and almost daily com plaints are made by guests who have been despoiled of their raiment. A commercial traveller who considered one overcoat sufficient for his visit to Cleveland was obliged to borrow one from a hotel clerk yesterday. in order that he might mingle with the people and proceed with the transaction of his business. Hotel proprietors rare ly report such thefts to thepolice, and compromises are made by settlement with tine victims. At times the miss ing overcoats prove to be valued at extraordinary sums. Recently aguest who lost one said it was new. had cost him $50. and was cheap at that price. He finally compromised for $50. An investigation showed that the coat originally cost him $40, and he had worn it for three winters. Cleveland ,eafer
