4 BALLAD OF ANCIENT PUNs.

can smile DER a letter that means q dun,
can talk with woman whose voice il shrill,
can sit while garrulous yarn is spun.
But | must confess IL, / run, run,
With haste and rashness that recks not

From the man who utters a time pun,
For he goads the nearer to mad despair.

can face, unninching, the boy and gun;
can laugh at the person long to kill
Who spoils in telling, my bit of fun.
But, light as q feather, though weighing ton,

Ii that man uttered word, just one,
For he gOads his nearer to mad despair.

OF the doctor who cured him and how 1t was
done,
/ can gaze with only spinal chill
On the brainless woman who lives to "stun. "
But always and ever shun, shun
That terrible monster beyond compare
With his joke that has lived since the world
begun,
For he goads the nearer to mad despair.
ENVOY.
Prince, as journey through rain or sun,
All other dangers court and dare;
But fly from the man with the moldy pun,
For he goads his hcarsr to mad despair.

MILLER REPLIES TO BAGLEY.

SEATTLE. WASH, July IA, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: 1 notice in the report OF the
proceedings of the house of delegates last night
that Delegate Bagley referred to some bills for
groceries, which were included in a general
charge OF robbery of the city,
My bill is altogether $3.50, of which amount
~ was paid in cash, as requested by the orders.
One order is as follows:
am instructed by Captain Snyder that the
council authorized me to assist for charity Mrs.
Patrick Delany. You can furnish her with ten
$50 dollars of groceries and charge same to the
city. HARRY WHITE Mayor
Another order was for Sill worth of groceries
and four go dollars in cash for Mrs c. Fl. Ar
mold. The third was also for Arnold, 81 in gro
ceries and Sc in cash.
After deducting 81 from SIS there would be
the margin between cost and profit on $2s worth
of groceries as the extent of thieving.
This is all in the world Mr.. Bagley has to base
his attack upon.
Alderman Miller has no interest whatsyer in
this business.

which is estimated at $500, 100000. Presi-
dent Hall, of the Missouri alliance, is
opposed to the sub-treasury scheme; so is
Governor Tillman, of the South Carolina
alliance. This scheme is also strongly
opposed in Tennessee, Georgia. Florida
and Alabama. while in the West, outside
of Kansas, this plan has never gained
strong hold.
A keen alliance Democrat points out in
the Memphis appeal that the Farmers Al
lance demands in the same breath the
abolition of the national banking system
and the establishment of government
repositories in the several states, which is
but an enlarged application of the principle
of the national banking system. The
Farmers Alliance denounces trusts and
combinations to put up the price of COM
modities," and yet the alliance is trying
to corner wheat in Kansas and cotton in
Georgia, and they hope to eventu-
ally corner the wheat of the
country and hold it until they can
get $135 bushel for it in New York. The
alliance denounces any increase of federal
taxes, and in the same breath demands
government ownership of railroads, tele-
graphs. telephones and steamboats,, which
would mean the addition of over million
of persons to the roll of government en-
ployes, beside the addition of four billions
of dollars to our present debt, as it would
cost that sum to buy all the properties,
since it is not intended to confiscate
them. An administration with such
an enormous civil list could never
be turned out of office, save
by revolution, and no government could
prudently in time of peace afford to as
sumo the burden of such an enormous
debt. These are few of the absurd con-
tradictions that are advocated by the
Farmers Alliance, and the most of their
warning lunacies will be dropped by the
wayside to perish of starvation and neglect
before 1892. Free silver and fiat money by
that date may be dropped, too, but this is
by no means certain, as any degree of i'm
becility may be expected of party that in
Kansas marches to and fro singing the
following doggerel:
The election now is over, boys. wen have four
The promise. that were given us, we happily
will test;
And if they are fulfilled boys, the party We will
bless,
While we are marching through Kansas.
CHORUS
Come, boys, comet let's down monopoly,
Come, boys, come! from bankers set us free
And vote no more for lawyers, but farmers they
must be,
While we are marching through Kansas
Let me make the songs of nation and
/ care not who makes its laws" wrote
Fletcher of Saltoun. If the Farmers Alli-
ance can't make any better laws than they
do songs in Kansas, their statute book il
likely to look like crazy quilt.

THE CoLoRADo,s DIVIDED WATERS
An Engineers Opinion of the Salton
Desert Flood.


Desert Flood.
Los ANGELES, July 1A-Resident Engineer
Haywood, who has just returned, says that most
OF the water in the vicinity OF Salton Is now
south OF the Mexican line and south of the Big
Holes country. The food, at rough estimate,
In Its greatest length measures ninety hve
miles. aud its greatest width is about fifty
miles, being of irregular shapa An immense
body OF water is held back from the Saiton
basin by the sand ridges, through which. how
ever, 1t has been making its way, and 10 now
gradually covering that basin. The water. it
seems, Hawgood says, comes from the Colorado,
which he thinks is possibly forming q new
delta. This river carries great amount of salt
and has been raising its bed for probably hun
dreds OF years. tits possible that the breaks In
its west banks are permanent, and that the New
river and the Colorado will henceforth form its
delta, and that it will cover the country south
OF the Big Holes and possibly include salton
basin. There is, he states, absolutely no danger
to the Southern Pacific road for months to come,
If at all.

the City Council will not change the
proposed assessment but will proceed
TO make collection. We hope this re.
port will prove 10 be- a mistake.
surely the members OF tho Council
10 not want TO add one more grievance
to the list Of complaints against them
irtn the distressed taxpayers. Surely
'hcy Will not Insist upon pushing n
measure that must lie obnoxious 10 n
large majority Of the citlzons. surely
they do not want 10 DO written down as
perpetrators OF undoubted injustice.
Surely they have sous respect for fair
ness and the rights OF the public.
Surely they do not want 10 cover
themselves with everlasting obloluy.
The fact that when tn, rrotcat was
presented the slgners did not represent
the majority Of values, Ia no evidence
that ouly the minority object TO the
tar. The document was hastily
drawn aud circulated In a hurry.
We are certain that the proposed
scheme Is favored only by occupants
OF the business part Of the city, and
ny them solely on the ground that they

We hope the Council will not pro.

and observations. We do not propose
10 innict this upon our readers. but as
he made brief mention Of his call nj
this city, we refer 10 his remarks. He
said. "Probably one Of the most inter.
csilng disappointments Is Mormonism
at Salt Lake"
Tho reason for this remark appears to
be- that, like other uniformed travel
er, Mr.. Dcpow expected 10 SEQ new
brand ofbumanlty aud be able to pick
out polygamists from persons who are
limited to the luxury Of one wife. He
aid firther "rhe first thing that the
traveller aud his wife do on reaching

operation of the penal laws passed by
Congress, II no longer esists. Tho
disappointment becomes interesting
when you study Aformonism rs a factor
In our American civilization. Eighty
per cent Of the people In Utah are still
Morm0ns."
The traveller and his wife who want
10 "ge, an insight Into tho domestic
niiais Of the 'Mormons'," viii have 10
take different method TO that pursued
by Mf. Dcpew. In the fret place they
must take n little more time; aud In
the second placc--wliat IA still more

ton. Walking down Main Street,
slugly or In couples, and listening 10
tho stories Of the suffer Of travellers,
will do very little towards getting an
Insight Into the domestic affairs Of the
"Mofmonr." Neither the club mans
gossip nor the hackman's romaDclng
will enllghtcn strangers very much as
10 the Inner lie OF the people Of Utah.
Mr.. Depcw has improved a little on
the reports usually made as 10 tho cost
Of tho Temple, which IL commonly ex-
aggonted Into two and half or three
millions; ho says II has taken 81, 0O0, 900

diets that II will be n monument for
the future Of tho marvellous power Of
Joseph Smith aud Brigham Young and
the delusion Of their followers" We
think AIR. Depew's remarks form
another monument Of the marvellous
power" Of continental tourists TO
swallow the yarns spun for them by
doluding atoay tellcrr.
Mr.. Depcw II an entertaining speaker
and has remarkable faculty for grasp
Ing suggestions and ideas on questions
Of the hour, aud formulating them
Into sentences which attract aud dazzle
for the moment. He has SAID nothing
unklnd about tho "Mormons," but ut
the same time he has not added 10 the
stock OF public Information concerning
them. However, we are comfortcd
with the assurance that II the noted
orator and railway magnate will do us
little good, he will certainly do US nc
harm.
