FASTENED to grant their prayer.
To be at peace with the government and in
harmony with their fellow citizens who are not
OF their faith and to share in the confidence of
the government and people, our people have
voluntarily put aside something which all their
lives they b ave believed to be a sacred prin-
ciple.
Have they not the right to ask for ST CHI elem
ency as comes when the claims Of both law and
justice have been fully liquidated?
AS shepherds of patient and suffering peo-
pie, we ask amnesty for them. and pledge our
faith and honor for their future.
And your petitioners will ever pray.

A more manly appeal could not be
penned. Not only in the lines but between
them, is the situation recognized, the end
of the long and severe contest &C
knowledged and the result admitted. In a
letter accompanying the petition, the gov
ernor, chief justice and associate justices
and two or three other federal officials
youched for the sincerity and good faith of
| the Mormon authorities and commended
the prayer to favorable consideration.
THE HERALD believes that nine out Of
every ten of all the people IN this territory,
without regard to religion or politics,
would cheerfully endorse this appeal and
applaud amnesty as wise and just act
towards community which has been made
to suffer most terribly during the past
decade. In fact, we cannot understand
how anybody can offer opposition. Only
viciousness of heart, or a lack of the better
sentiments of humanity in the breast, could
suggest denial of the prayer. 10 grant
the appeal and proclaim amnesty would be
an act of craftsmanship; it would be both
just and generous to considerable number
of good men who are American through
and through, prizing the rights and privi-
leges of citizenship, worshiping the flag
and sincerely DESTROYS of being in harmony
with the government and in touch with
their fellows. To deny the appeal would
be narrow, petty and unworthy this great
nation.
We believe amnesty will be granted, and
that the granting will do more than any
thing else at this time TO bring peace anC
harmony TO distracted Utah.

Below Water.

The shaft in the Lucky Cuss is down 5 feet below water level and no difficulty is experienced in handling the water. In answer to request for information, MT. Staunton said this afternoon that he looked for no back sets to make another fifty feet without difficulty. The ore is not as plentiful or quite as rich as above water, as far as they haqe gone, but there is noth- ing discouraging about that as the gentleman acknowledges that they were shipping ore from the shaft which they are sinking. The water is pump Fei by compressed air into stump and from there into the tanks.

WEIGHT, the catt le buyer, has pur- chased q good bunch of beef steers. from Robbins and others below the line. They were prime beef and weighed over 1000 pounds each. The duty of ten dollars was paid on them and the purchaser gave S2.5o per hun dred on foot. This nets the cattleman $15 per head. The only difference between this and the present coinage law is that Uncle Sam robs the cattle mon out of one cent per pound, while he robs the silver producer out of 37 cents an ounce on his bullion.

REV. DowSs, while carving roast of beef at bis dinner table short time since, found silver dollar next to one of the ribs. This is another strong argument against the free coinage of silver. When it comes to debasip 2 our currency to that point where cat- tie feed on it, its bad enough, but with free coinage there is strong proba- bility of the product of our mines com ing into direct competition with the corn crop Of Kansas for hog food. This pointer is thrown out to our local anti free coinage men to enlarge upon.

 THE committee of the house to which the bills admitting Arizona and New Mexico were referred, has, ac- cording to one of its members, Mansur of Missouri, mapped out its report. He said: "We shall report enabling acts for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona to statehood. That will dispose of them ss far as the commit tee is concerned. As for Ueah, we shall report against statehood but in favor of autonomy. That is, we shall bring in a bill to let Utah elect her own Governor and other territorial officers by vote c: the people. but she will no. be allowed representation in the Senate or House save as atpresent by Delegate. The United States courts and laws will remain unchanged The committee, think, is pretty well agreed on this, but we will wait 10 hear a delegation which will be here in few days" As for Oklahoma there will be an adverse report.

Duplicate Ewes,

There are two girls in New York
who are well provided against emer-
gencies. They have duplicate eyes
safely packed away in their jewel boxes
against possible accident When they
were in Vienna last summer they Wis
tied the Salviati glass factory, where
the finest artificial eyes in the world
are made. During their visit they
were surprised at the very steadfast
gaze OF one of the workmen, but OF
course, took no notice of the seeming
impertinence. A few days later each
received little box, which. being
opened, was found to contain most &C
curate copies in glass of their lovely
eyes and little note requesting their
acceptance. and saying that they might
at some future time be found a great
convenience. New York News.
