Now, catulp Is supposed to be good
for cats. Itls supposed that when u
cat feels a little unwell, it nips the
plant, hence its name catnip. | have
noticed, however, that cat, 10 matter
how badly it may feel, will turn tail at
sight OF the supposed cure-al, but it
may be that it is the cats method OF
dong good unto itself; but we have a
Liberal here who despises the cat
method, for he says he would debate
wi h Jesus Christ if he met him on the
streets. There is more ventTatiOn in
that Liberal than in cat, and such an
expression of confidence by the tongue
method is enough tn satisfy any man,
OF a cat either, for that matter, that
turning tail will never, no never, be
charged to the shortcomings OF the
aforesaid Liberal O, well. he feels IL
little unwell since the election, and l
actually believe that little catnip
taken in cat fashion would stimulate
his system to IA healthy energy and
would work off the bile so eminently
manifested in his heart strings and the
other muscles of that part of himself So

RECIPROCITY AND FREE TRADE.

Deputy Marshal Bachman returned
Yesterday afternoon from Scotield
where he has been attending to official
business. While at 2. V. junction he
learned something which leads him to
believe that the murderers of Ben Blu
chanon are on this side of Price Can
Won. He had seen Sheriff Fowler's
wife since his return and she informed
him that two men had stopped at a
house opposite her residence on Friday
night whose description tallies eX-
actly with that of the two murderers.
1t is a prevalent rumor around +. V.
that the two men who are supposed to
have committed the murder, drove this
way instead Of going east.

LONDON, August 1l.-American man.
ayers in London find that American as
pirants to stage honors are numerous
and sometimes trying, but it is little
surprising to be told that Marcus Mayer
speaks severely of that class. Miss
Austin, young Amer lean soprano
says she went to Mr. Mayer in the hope
of securing an engagement to support
Miss Agnes HuntiHgton. Mr.. Mayer
did not show any interest and finally
exclaimed: If had my way [ would
wipe out all American actors and have
nothing but English" Only once in
a great while is there an American who

Took Advantage of His Credit.

SALT LAKE. August 1l.-Some
months ago a fellow named H. Pinkus
opened Il low drinking dive on West
Temple street, and later he started a
saloon near the Warm springs. He did
tlourishing business at both places,
and was able to get any amount Of
credit. Pinkus took advantage of this,
and after standing his creditors off for
Il time, took all the cash and skipped
out on Sunday. To-day his saloons
were closed under an attachment OBJ

for $1,000, and there are "a number OF
other creditors.

that Miss Huntington had wished 20
hear her sing, whereupon Mayer re-
torted: you can't expect Miss Hunt

Austin returned to recall to Nj. Mayer
what had been said by american news
papers which hardly harmonized with
his views as expressed to her. ''Oh,

WHY Is THIS THUS ?
Are the Orders of the President to be
Misconstrued?

mfSCOnStrueu!
Editor Critic: In all but one Of the De-
partments of the Government there are
the usual signs of mourning-namely, a
conspicuous absence of the laborers in the
vineyard of Uncle Sam. The President of
the United States recently issued an order
'that in all Departments of the Govern
ment at Washington business shall be
suspended on the days of the funerals of
both Admiral Porter and General Sher-
man, There is one branch of the Post
Office Department in this city that has
failed TO comply with this order on either
day, but has hung, apparently, the sign of
death on the outer door, while within all
is the same as though death had not en-
tered into the household of the Govern
ment.
On the day of the funeral Of the late
Secretary Window the officials of this
Department closed the doors and complied
with the order of the Chief Magistrate.
Why they do not act likewise in the in
stances above stated is not known to my
self The employees of this branch of the
Postoflice have very few privileges ac-
corded them as 1t Isl but when 1t comes to
depriving them of the right to mourn the
deaths of two such great men as Admiral
Porter and General Sherman, it is indeed
q hard, cruel act
The Postmaster-G General should bring
his Christian spirit to bear upon this mat
ter and 'give and give alike" Much has
been said of the management of this
branch of the p. o. d., both as to the
treatment of its employees and the absence
of proper ventilation and other things
that tend to make life worth the living
for these "proteges" of Uncle Sam.
Perhaps If the Postmaster-General were
seen to-day the Office may be closed for
half day to 'sorter even things up"
The office in question is the Mail Bag
Repair Shop.
Yours respectfully. II. C. X.
Washington, ID. c., February 2l.
