Utah and their sons is afforded in gener-
Gus offer by the Agricultural college at
Logan. A special course of lectures on

weeks will be given free Of charge. This is
an experimental course. If it succeeds,
the plan win be continued. It will con-
mence on Thursday, January 9Th, and will
be open to all applicants who will take the
whole course.
Scientific farming is one Of the needs of
Utah. So much more can be accomplished
when one knows how than by ''main
strength and awkwardness, !" that great
change in agricultural affairs will soon be
perceived in Utah when her farmers pro-
coed according to ascertained and estsb-
lished practical scientific rules. This offer
made by the college should. then, be gladly
accepted by large number of the people.
The lectures will embrace agriculture.
including tillage, drainage, dairying, stock

A Double Shuttle.

AS an Offset to The HERALD's criticism
on its paltry attack on GROVER CLEVELAND
our morning contemporary quotes part of a
paragraph from The HERALD in relation to
The monetary conference. 1t is to the effect
that ''the scheme was invented for the pur-
pose of winning over the votes of the silver
states for HARRIsoN.n The remark was
only Incidental TO brief opinion about the
value of the conference, but what is there
in it which constitutes a ''senile" and
"paltry'' attack on HARRGsoNs
The attempt is made to show that there
was nothing partisan in the movement be-
cause two Democrats were appointed on
the commission from this country Well,
who said there was anything partisan in
the constitution of the commission! That
is not and was not the question.
Is it not a fact that it was hoped by the
Republican party, that the action of the
President in moving for the conference
would have a good effect for his party in
the silver states? Did not our shifting
contemporary present it in that light for
that very purpose! When the WEAVER
campaign, which is designated as ghost
Dance" was in action, did not our contem-
porary urge that HARRIsoN's work in that
direction proved that. he was friend to
silver, and that therefore the silver states
should stop their ''ghost dancing" and sup
port him instead of WEAvER2
The scheme was put forth with the idea
that it would placate the west while 1t
would not not antagonize the east and par
ticularly New York. 1t was politics in it's
partisan sense, and is so understood by
each of the parties that contended in the
presidential struggle.
But granting that the position taken on
this point by our contemporary is correct,
what excuse does that give for its attempt
TO DelitIle CLEVELAND, and how does that
go to prove that the weight of his utter
ances and the force of his character are
simply due to his more than $50 pounds of
avoirdupoisa" AS a logician and polem-
ical athlete our contemporary is not sue
cess, and in neither capacity is brilliant or
weighty. 1t argument in this case is sort
of double shuttle.

Dem md Its Repesl.

The question of the disfranchisment of q
large number of Idsho's permanent citizens
is still agitated in that State and will be
until some action for relief is taken by the
legislature The Supreme court of the
State has announced its inability to do
anything in the premises, and intimated
that legislation only can reach the con
dition complained OF. AS the time ap-
proaches for the lawmakers of the State to
meet, it is right for all the friends of fair
ness and equal rights in Idaho to express
their views on this subject. that the elect
of the people may know what their con-
siituents expect of them.
In the Boise Sentinel appears an epitome
of the history Of Mormon disfranchise-
ment, from the pen of "Rnsticus' His
statement is concise and non-partisan. He
sums up the matter in this wise:
All that can be said in defense of this bill is
that il wa passed hastily during the last days
OF the session.
After mature reflection all candid persons are
constrained to say that its passa ge was an act
OF bad faith. Its repeal is dem anded by every
consideration OF fair play and justice. Let it
be wiped of the statute books, and let US re-
move the political disabilities OF the Mormons.
We believe that expresses the sentiment
of the best people of Idaho of all parties
on this question. The Republicans equally
with the Democrats stand pledged TO the
removal of those disabilities. There is a
provision in the state constitution which
must remain until an amendment is OBJ
tanned. But that is not in the way, now,
though ii ought not TO be in the constitu-
ton of a free state. 1t is che law passed
by the first state legislature that is obnox-
lous and needless, and that should be re-
pealed as soon as the new legislature
meets and gets down TO business. This
should be demanded by all friends of
reedom and fairness Ia Tie state.

The Fate of the Earth.

It may be interesting to the host of Sun
day readers Of The HERALD to learn some
thing in regard to the fate of the earth on
which they are travelling around the sun
at pace and q distance wonderfully in
excess of the scriptural Sabbath days
Journey" The latest news on this import
ant matter is that in the year is, 1876 this
globe win be covered with ice.
1t is to be hoped that no sympathetic and
hystericsl person will begin to lament over
the frosty fate that's to overtake posteriy
Not only is the date too remote to Justify
such emotions, but the statement itself is

while it is dignified by the title of science,
is not yet considered SO certain as 10 be
classed with geometry or other exact
branch of human knowledge. 1t is the
biologists who make this glacial proclama-
ton
The earth. it is claimed is gradually
shifting its position on its axis, and in
consequence of this uneasiness, which it
has experienced for ages. q glacial period
occurs once in about every 10000 years.
According to that, the conditions of the
arctic and torrid zones become reversed
and all the world is revoluuonized in the
process. The most recent occurrence of a
great change of this character it is said
occurred abrout 5000 years ago when the
earth was covered with water, aud it will
proceed in its present direction till the
year 1895 when there will be scarcely any
difference between summer and winter.
But after that, the people may look out for
a gradual return to primitive conditions
and when Is, 1856 arrives the globe will be
thickly veneered with ice.

No 6rudgs Against Ogden.

THE HERALD is pleased that success has
crowned the efforts of the gentlemen who
went TO San Francisco for the purpose of
securing the Southern Pacific shops TOR
Ogden. But the Ogden Post seems to be
imbued with the idea that Salt Lake feels
very bad over this movement for Ogden's
prosperity. That we regard as a mistake.
The Post says: Every effort possible
has been made by Salt Lake TO prevent the
contamination of the contract" The truth
is, Salt Lake has made no attempt to do
anything Of the kind. It is possible that
some individual or individuals have thought
that Salt Lake would be more suitable than
Ogden for the shops. and so represented to
me company. But if so. they were not
authorized by Salt Lake to do that or to
throw obstacles in the way Of Ogden.
We do not see how Ogden's growth and
welfare could be inimical to Salt Lake.
Some rivalry in past times has been in
dulged in by one or two papers in each
city, but it was only newspaper talk and
did not express any extensive public senti-
ment in this city, whatever might have
been tue case in Ogden. The HERALD is
pleased to see Ogden grow, for it desires
the welfare aud prosperity of every part
of this magnificent territory.
