There is split in the Republican
party in Lancaster county, over the
Judgeship. The board of return judges
have declared H. c. Brubaker the reg

cheated out of the nomination and
will put him in the field. H. M.
North will probably be the Democrat

The latter country Is reluctant to fight,
because ifshe were successful In a Htrug.

Discomfort and dia.ati sfac,ion pre-.
walls to an alarming extent in the var.
ious provinces 81 the Dominion. The
exhibit made by the last cen sus brings
disappointment, the disclosures of cor
niption In high places bring humilia-

brings chagrin and angry fcmon-
strsnces. I, was confidently asserted
until the taking Of the census during
this year that Canada would show q

only II per cent for 1851 - VI.
During this last nameu decade
there was an immigration to Canada Of
ss6,i7l, while the increase during this
period Il hut Cos, 1884. This means that
either there has been no natural addi-
ton, or that most Of the immigrants
simply passed through the Dominion,
or, u they remained, took the places Of
native Canadians who themselves left
the county.
The eastern provinces 0f New

ART AND THE "STERoCEAy.r

TnE inter.Occau Of September 18th

from the facile pen Of Professor q. Il.

pleasant bits Of dcs criptive matter,

writer IL not fully informed, for while
he comedies that In this city "the
schools are well supported In every
way" In many Of the GO unity districts
he statcs"thc children are denied school

lie speaks In favor u free schools. and
IL evidently not aware that under our
present territorial laws free sch ools arc
established Ia every settlement, and
there IL no denial Of school privileges 10
the children In any Of the districts.
We are suro that Professor Bailey
has not designed TO mako any ml.ststo.

common error In regard To education
In Utah. Also We are persuaded that
the carlcaturcs Of we'll known Utah
