Cattle Swindlers.

Cattlemen should be on the alert for
frauds. There are swindlers who make a
speciality of cheating stock raisers. There
hare been many cases of this kind that
have been exposed in the papers, but the
business still goes on.
a few days ago fellow by the name of
SMITH went through Powder valley in
Oregon, pretending to be capitalist Oh a
cattle-buying mission. His style and con-
versation were impressive, he offered good
prices, and he succeeded in making heavy
purchases. Big stock men sold to him
and received payment in checks.
1t was learned very soon afterwards that
SMITH had sold the cattle at greatly re-
duced prices to other cattlemen, and with
that Information came the discovery
that the checks were worthless. OF
course SMITH was gone with the money,
and the stock men are out and injured.
The cattle business is not what it used
to be by great deal. Small ranchers
have hard job to make it pay. And if
through their eagerness to sell they lay
themselves open to scoundrels of the
SMITH type, they become doubly unfor-
tunate. We refer to this matter that
stock men may keep their weather eyes
open and give the swindlers wide berth.

Cleyeland's "Interferenee. ,

large number of Republican papers
pretend to be very much exercised over
President-elect CLEvELAND's ''interfer-
ence with the election of United States
Senator from New York. They aIlege
that it will split the Democratic party in
that state and do no end of terrible things.
OF course they would feel very sad if their
predictions should be fulfilled. a split in
the Democratic party anywhere would be
to them terrible catastrophe.
Our friends the enemy need give them
selves no concern over this matter. There
is no evidence that Mr.. CLEVELAND Is in.
terfering in anything with which he has
no legitimate business. But it must not
be forgotten that as a citizen OF New
York the gentleman has as much right to
express his views upon New Y ork affairs
as any other citizen; and as a Democrat
he has equal right to say what he thinks
IS good for his party and for the nation.
This is all that is claimed he has done in
regard to the Senatorship from New FORK.
The utmost that can be said in this con-
nection is that CLEVELAND opinion was
asked and he gave it frankly. Would our
Republican friends have the gentleman
muzzled until March? Very likely. But
they cannot have their way. And we
notice that while some of them pretend
he is not accustomed to saying anything
of any particular account, they are all
ready to pounce upon his utterances and
torture them if possible to suit their own
ends. At any rate whatever he says gives
them great concern.
There is no apparent split in the Demo
cratic party in New York. A Democratic
Senator viii replace HIscocx. The opin-
ions OF CLEVELAND on the kind of man
to occupy the position will have due
weight, and there viii be no such oonten-
ton over the matter as will give the Re-
publicans chance to slip man in when
the question comes to an issue. CLEvE-
LAND is not interfering, and the Republi-
cans have no show in the senatorship from
the Empire state.

these, twenty one are in the law depart
ment, which seems to be the favorite
study Of Utah eastern pupils, nine are
in the literary department; some are in
the pursuit of knowledge in medicine and
dentistry, and others preparing for a uni
versity course. There are four mothers
there looking after the interests OF their
offspring.
At the Michigan normal school there
are three more Utah students, besides
twenty-five at Harvard, several in New
York, Baltimore and Philadelphia and
some in Illinois. 1t is gratifying to know
that Utah pupils usually bear most ex-
cellent reputation for diligence, sobriety,
intelligence and general good conduct,
and graduate with honors at whatever
institution they enter.
The earnestness with which our young
people take UP any branch of study is one
of the chief causes of their success. And
that they are bright, intellectual and OBJ
servant of good regulations is admitted
wherever they are known. Altogether
the educational outlook for Utah is of
the brightest and most encouraging as

International Arbitration.

The appointment of an International
supreme court has been suggested as a
means by which disputes between the
leading nations of the world might be
settled without recourse to war. The i'm
mense armies of Europe are standing
monaco to that peace and tranquility
which are essential to the happiness OF
mankind. Ifanything satisfactory could be
established which will lead to the disarm-
ament OF the European powers it would
be one of the greatest achievements of the
age.
A court composed of eminent jurists
from all the great nations of civilization
would no doubt prove beneficial, and ac-
complish the desired purpose when gov
ernInents in contention were disposed to
deal fairly with each other. But if either
were determined to take improper advan-
tages, the only arbiter left would be the
sword-by which, of course, is meant all
that the sword is used to signify.
1t appears to US that while the sugges-
ton is good and offered in the right spirit.
something more would be needed than an
international court. Judicial tribunals
are to interpret laws. Legislatures come
first, courts afterwards. First enact the
laws, then oppoint courts to adjudicate
upon them. An international congress.
then, in our opinion, should be organized
before an international COURT is appointed.
Why should not the foremost nations
elect members to a congress or parliament
to pass laws regulating international
affairs? Regulations could thus be made
which would, to very great degree at
least, prevent the horrors of war, do
away with great standing armies and
navies, and promote the arts OF peace.
Such rules could be adopted as would be
accepted by and become binding upon the
nations represented, and then the supreme
international court could decide all dis

Coal Swindling Again.

The coal case before the city justice
ought to be fully prosecuted. The price
of coal has caused great deal of dissatis-
faction in this city, but that is little COM
pared with the feeling that coal swindling
causes in the public mind. When per-
son pays s., 50 for ton of coal and gets
only about two-thirds of ton it is diff
cult to express his sentiments in print.
Councilman BEARDsLEY has done right
in bringing the present case into court.
A shortage OF nearly one-fourth in ton
of coal is a serious matter for the pur-
chaser.
Compromises may sometimes be justifi-
able in criminal cases when mercy has
some claims or when there are mitigating
circumstances in palliation OF an offense.
But though the parties chiefly interested
in this case were willing that it should
be ''settled out of court, it is of such q
character that justice calls for its own.
The city attorney would have failed of his
duty if he had not insisted upon trial.
Consumers are in many instances quite
willing to take their coal from the dealers
at the dealers weight, and their conf
dence ought not to be taken advantage of.
in this case we are fully of the opinion
that the fault lies with the coal-hauler.
The Ellerbecks are interested in, giving
proper weight so that their credit which
has never been impugned may be sus-
tanned.
1t may be that some dishonest person
took away part of the load while it re-
NAMED at the Transfers place. That is
a bare possibility. The fact is clear that
the purchaser only got little over fifteen
hundred pounds for ton. 1t is claimed
that this shortage has been common and
it is time that an example was made of
the coal swindlers whoever they may be.

Educational Progress.
etiquette

Education is rapidly advancing inUtah.
Improvement may be observed in school
affairs all over the territory. The dis
trict schools particularly are advancing
in the right direction, and there is now
no excuse for ignorance of the common
branches of knowledge in any Utah child
old enough to learn.
In addition to the public schools there
are number of UNCONVENTIONAL schools
at which higher branches of instruction
are given, and also the University OF
Utah, where very liberal education can
be acquired and in which no religious
tenets are taught.
Utah is sending a large number of
young men and young ladies to eastern
institutions of learning. 1t is probable
that this will be continued even when it
has be9n demonstrated that equally good
if not better scholastic training can be
had in home establishments. At present
there is little reason for sending young
people out of the territory for an ordi-
nary education, and none at all unless it
is for special training for some speciality
or profession.
We notice in letter to the Provo En-
Qaarer from bright young Utah county
student, that there are at present no fewer
than fifty persons forming a veritable

Theatre NuisNnces.

One extreme usually follows another
The big hat at the theatre now gives
place in the east to no hat at all. The
nuisance of the ladies' high or broad
headgear which shut off view OF the
stage to people in the rear, created such a
universal protest that managers had to
institute some regulations to suppress it.
Women who are slaves to fashion are
usually Indifferent to the convenisnce of
others because they are often Indifferent to
their own, appearances being considered
far before comfort. With hat on tnat

This arrangement would be appreciated
perhaps by most of the male sex, but we

will object to leaving their finely fixed
headgear with its delicate trimmings in
the custody OF a theatre attendant, fearing
its damage. They will also be deprived
