SPEAKING OF GUNS.

The alleged statement of the Irish
witness who was sure he could not be
mistaken about the gun in question,
since he had been acquitted with it since
it was a pistol, would not seem to be
nearly so odd today if 1t were made.
For the pistol has been evolved into a
'sgun" throughout this whole rim of the
country, if not all over the land. In the
phrase of the local reporter, the gentle
man of the road, the witness upon the
stand and the small boy in the street,t the
much dreaded instrument of mischief,
which few men have felt obliged to
hide about their persons for an
emergency, has been exalted into a
'gun''-perhaps we ought to say "the
gum"
The false and Aippant use of the word
itself and the shameless swagger of the
persons who mouth the new slang are
enough to make one who has lingering
love for the English language vince;
but the mischief which has come and is
coming from the use of the newly
named weapon, is disheartening and
appalling. We do not learn that the COM
mon carrying of gums" has accom-
plished any good thing in the world.
Not one wayside robber has been kept
from emptying the pockets of the pas
sengers in the stage coach, although there
were no end of "ghns' among them.
Not one government mail pouch has
been snatched from robber hands by
valiant ''gun" holders on any railway
train, so far as heard from, in all the re-
cent annals OF robbery; nor has
woman's honor been protected by one
single good Office OF the knight
errant with "gun" to supple
ment his own strength. On the
other hand it would seem as if the car
rying of "gun" had not only shorn
men OF their strength but of their cour-
age and their sense as well; in fact
the ony execution done by the hateful
weapon at all is the injury of its owner
through some ignorant bungling, or the
killing or manning of another through
the excitement of some easily avoided
brawl. The experience OF men OF the
world, as a rule, is that the carving of
any weapon is worse than needless. II
one have just fear OF the burglar he may
provide protection. Ii the officer of the
law enter upon some desperate service
he ought to be prepared to defend his
life if threatened. But beyond these
plain necessities, and therefore proprie-
ties, the use of the ''gun" cannot be ex-
cused or tolerated.
The man who goes armed, who de-
fends the practice, who treats it as q
personal need or right, is dangerous
enemy of the community menace to
peace and order from whom nothing
good can be xpected-and the CON-
munity has right to demand that he
be dealt with as an offender before the
law. 1t is not a question to be settled
between him and the next man with OF
without gun" it is an issue between
him and the community that he offends
and insults. Let it be urged as maxim
that no gentleman in ordinary ways ol
life ever needs 10 carry gun" there
| fore no gentleman carries one.

MINING developments of unusual in
terest may be looked for during the
coming year in the direction of Salt
Lake City. A significant sign of the
times was the purchase by Senator John
P. Jones and Mr.. D. 0. Mills of the old
mines of Beaudry & Belshaw. The
knowledge that transportation will soon
be cheap into that region will energizs
prospecting to an unusual degree. Colonel
Brooks's paper in the HERALD will add
to an interest which has always existed
amongst intelligent prospectors in that
rich and virgin ground.

DAN BURNS has been jailed in Mexico.
They do things differently in our neigh
boring republic from the mode which OBJ
tains here. Dan has been thrown into
the Mexican "cooler" for merely having
fraudulently, as it is charged, ode
nounced" rich mine. Here he could
have Jumped" as many claims as be
pleased with impunity. Why, it was
no trick at all for him to keep out of a
California Jail after he had, as a high
official, fobbed the state out OF over
100000. No mention is made of the
fate OF the governors private secretary,
who went to Mexico with Dan to make
mining deal Tor His Excellency. Is it
possible that it is the same deal in
which Mr.. Markham is interested that
has landed his appointee as police com
missioner OF San Francisco behind the

THERE are internal dissensions in the
Chilean cabinet that may lead to revo-
lutionary consequences. 1t is evident
that there is a faction in favor of treat
ing the United States in conciliatory
spirit, whilst on the other hand there
are freaters who are determined to
push this country to extremities rather
than apologize for the outrage on our
sailors. If the sensible and conservative
element in Chile cannot prevail that
country is in bad way. We may apply
the lines of Whittier to the people Of
Chile:
"God help them when the tempest swings
The pine against the ealm."

cLEAR OF DEBT.

Iedflckt0Wn, Oct. 18Th,
The most notable and important
Church enterprise in the history OF Ped
rickt0wn, was brought to q successful
consumation OH Sunday morning last,
when the last dollar OF the amount
necessary to pay the cost Of rebuilding,
femodeling and furnishing the NJ. Il.
Church was provided for.
I One of the most notable features in
connection with this enterprise has
been the harmony that has characterize
ed every movement of the committee
having the matter in charge, together
with the pastor and other Church Off
cials, during the progress of the work.
No less remarkable has been the inter-
est which the people generally, almost
universally, both in and out Of the
Church have manifested in it. Not on
ly by a willingness but apparently a
desire. On the part of most of them,
to bear a share of the burden.
Soon after the last session of the N.
j. Conference, when Rev. Il. II. Brun-
yate was by request of the official board
returned to the charge for tile fifth
year, with characteristic foresight as to
the needs of the church, and believing
that the time had come, when her best
interests demanded u forward move
ment on temporal lines, and no doubt
animated by a desire to see her advance
to a more prominent and influential
position among her neighboriDg sister
churches, urged upon the Board Of
Trustees the necessity Of these improve.
Eaents. 1t IA not until after mature
elaboration aud the exersize of com
mendable caution lest they should bring
upon the Church a financial burden
that it would be unable to bear and q
satisfactory assurance against such a
result. that they were by the unani.
amous recommendation OF the Quarterly
Conference induced to undertake the
work that has been SO successfully com.
pleted.
The congratulations Of all contribu-
tors are due the building committee for
the very satisfactory manner in which
they have completed the work as indi-
Gated by the many expressions of ap.
prevail and commentator it receives;
not only from the members Of the
church and people of the community,
but especially from visitors from other
Churches. We believe from present
indications that the reopening and dedi-
cation of the NJ. E. church marks a
turning point in her history, from
which she has entered upon a career Of
greater prosperity. Both temporal and
spiritual than she has ever enjoyed.
When We consider all the circumstan-
ces connected with the accomplish.
ments of this enterprise "a detail of
which would make this article to long,
we are constrained to say, surely this
is the Lords doing. Unto Him 10 ell
