Il has been matter OF comment for
some time with regard TO so many farm
ers leaving and deserving their farms and
moving to the cities. A lady in Moline
recently SAID to US, "why what can be the
matter that so many farmers are coming
to live in town. Well. we said. proba
bly, some of them are able to come. They
purchased their land when it was cheap,
and having now become dissatisfied with
farming, they sell or rent and move to
town. Then the renter class have tried
it long enough to become satisfied there
is nothing to be made at it but bare
living.

VS. BluT

The ARGUS has received mucD COM
mendation foT its course in looking into
and exposing the tomslle industry which
has been working the city for some time,
and the proprietor of which has had the
nerve to seek to recover So. 1000 from this
paper for telling the truth and protecting
the public health. While the course of
THE ARGUS in giving to the public some
of the facts pertaining to filthy dive
from which .omalles are peddled out to
the public of the three cities. was, as
heretofore said, not sctusted by motives
other than desire to insure to the people
clean and wholesome food, yet this paper
has no charity for those who seek by
means of So 900 bluff to muzzle
or intimidate the press in its duty
to the pnblic. The position of this
paper was stated frankly and plainly
last night, and also in connection with the
article which has been so grievously pain
full to the proprietor of the joint and his
attorneys. That a gang of itiuerants
who pay no taxes or no licenses and who
peddle through the streets night after
night articles of human food should be
offended because the condition of their
establishment should be investigated. and
laid bare to the public seems almost too
amusing for serious contemplation. It
amounts TO the next thing to audacity
There ought to be q law. either state or
municipal to insure the proper inspection
of all establishments where human food
is prepared, and until that is secured the
press must take upon itself the duty.
That is what The ARGUS proposes to DO
at any rate.

JOHN CROWLEY was murdered by Henry
Mcdowell, at a small settlement in Glasten-
bury, last week Monday night. Crowley
and Mcdowell worked on wood job and
occupied a shanty together. Robbery is
supposed to have been the motive. Crowley
had $50 on his person before the murder,
and only S45 was in his pockets when he
was found dying in the woods, his skull
crushed by blow from a club. Mcdowell
claimed to be deserter from the English
army. After the murder he fed into the

Silver Wedding at Berlin.

On Monday evening, April 4, 1892, oc-
Cured the twenty-ffth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Abel II. Stewart.
The event was celebrated by the meeting
of goodlv number of their friends at their
home. Mr.. Stewards two sisters, Mrs ID.
w. Taft and Mrs DR.. Samuel n. Nelson
from Boston We're present, which added
much to the enjoyment of the occasion.
His mother, nearly eighty one years old,
was able to be around the house and seemed
to enjoy the festivities as much as any one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart were the recipients of
many beautiful presents, among which were
an extension table, table cloth, napkins,
dinner set of 40 pieces silver cake basket,
one dozen teaspoons, glass set, glass sauce
plates, nice black dress, hanging lamp
towels, etc. Cake and coffee were served,
after which the company dispersed leaving
with Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart their wishes
for future happiness. The following poem
was written for the occasion by Mrs. @. IL.
Stewart:
Hark to the distant music,
'ris the chime of marriage bells.
Well listen to the echo,
TO the story that 1t tells.
How on the fourth of April
In eighteen siXty-seven,
This couple left their childhood homes
To dwell in matrimonial heaven.
And not unlike the common lot
OF nearly all we meet,
They, doubtless, may have found
Some bitter with the sweet.
But being sure their strength
Their burdens will exceed,
They are ready with helping hand
In any time of need.
Though of their loving kindness
Only one has come TO share,
The aged parents have received
His ever-faithful care.
And many are the times
That table long is spread,
To welcome "A family gathering
At the old no nestead
Nav the same bright faces greet us
That in other days we've seen,
TIL we meet with them again
In nineteen seventeen.
May the one bright bud of promise
That Is theirs TO guide and rear,
BE ever ready with his love,
Their declining years to cheer
May our visit here to-day
few dark clouds dspel,
And for their many friends I'll say,
We evor wish you we'll"

Two women, apparently returning
home from Il matinee performance,
hustled into the car and seated them
selves near the door. They were
carrying on an earnest conversation.
and the radical difference in their
voices made the conversation anus
ing to the other passengers. One of
the women talked on a very high
key and the other scarcely spoke
aloud. Every word uttered by the
high keyed talker could be heard in
any part of the car, but not a sound
could be heard from the lips of the
whispering woman. just after they
had taken their seats every a in
the car was saluted with the shrill
exclamation, We'll, let me tell you
that she is sixty if she is a day."
There was a whispered response, &C
companied by a deprecatory facial
expression. Then came another
sharp and clear cut sentence, well,
she certainly is fully forty-fve!"
The quiet woman shook her head
at this and said something in an I'M
dertone which elected the shrill dec
laration, ''Pshaw! she is thirty at
any rate" The passengers We're
deeply interested by this time and
they watched the face of the whis-
pering woman to e whether she

INFLUENCE OF THE SCHOLAR.
some Observations in Connection with
the Death of Professor Dwight.

Some Observation in Connection with
the Death of Professor Dwight.
The recent death of Professor Theo-
dore William Dwight, Of Columbia law
school, has given rise to some fresh dis
cussion of the question as to how far
college men and great scholars are
qualified to organize or lead great move
ments, whether in law or politics, re-
ligion or society. That the college pro-
lessor was the great leader in Ameri-
cas- early history is clear. From Thomas
Jefferson's election till after the civil
war he was politically under a cloud.
Just now it looks as if he were about to
have his innings again.
From time immemorial there has been
a sort of dull feud between the quiet
scholar and the active politician.
THEORISTS ''bookworms, - ~''closet phi
losophers"-such are the epithets the
latter bestow on the former. "They sit
down i'll their studies" says one editor,
land construct in their minds an ideal
society; they evolve an abstract man
from the depths of their own conscious
ness and then want US to make laws t.

alleged that most of the movements to
enlarge popular liberty were inaugur-
ated by qniet scholars. and in America
the antislavery movement was for manv
years confined almost entirely to that
class.
Professor William e.. Sumner. of
Yale college. wrote Il little work oil
American Currency some seventeen
years ago which re~volutionized the
views Of many. and his subsequent ar
ticles on finance in general have had
considerable effect. Just at present he
is severely criticised for his opposition
to the tariff.
Charles Sumner entered public life
avOwedly as an advocate of APPLYING
scholarly methods to all public issues,
and Wendell Phillips. james Freeman
Clarke, James Russell Lowell and many
others of that era were brilliant exam
pies of 1.-THE scholar in politics" In
deed, it is an extraordinary fact in
American history that when the radical
abolition element was too small to ex-
cite any feeling except amusement and
contempt ii contained a clear majority
of the most eminent poets, authors and
scholars.
SO early was the fact recognized in the
south and west that Edward Everett,
the most conservative of scholars, was
then popularity supposed to be IA radical
abolitionist even down to the time when
the Bell and Everett campaign began.
American history would seem to prove
that. while the SO called practical poll
ticians always win the first battles. the
measures advocated By the college pro-
fessors often triumph in the end. Pro-
fessor Dwight effected many reforms a
prison management and charities, but
his specially was the law. He was uIl-
~questionably the most successful teacher
of law of his time.

A MORMON COLONY.
Prosperous settlement Containing
About 500 People just Over
the Line

Nv Lihc.
Among the arrivals at the Ulm house
Friday was Charles 0. Gard of Cards
vile, N. w. r., who is on his way to Salt
Lake City on business. Mr.. Card is the
founder of the town named for him and
is president of the Mormon mission
which has been established there. He
is a mar apparently about 50 years Of
age,s somewhat short in stature and of
robust frame. His face is covered with
a luxurlant growth of whiskers and he
has "a very pleasant and affable manner.
In conversation with a TRIBUNE reporter
last evening Mr.. Caro- said regarding his
colony:
at will be six years next fall since !
first visited the Northwest territory dur
ing one of my exploring expeditions and
decided to found a colony there. In the
spring of 1887 l started from Salt Lake,
accompanied by about twelve families
from Utah and Idaho. We travelled
overland in wagons and finally founded
the settlement, which was named in my
honor. GAINESVILLE is situated about forty
miles south of Mcleod and about thir-
teen miles from the international bound
airy. The settlement has been growing
steadily and there are now about 400 or
800 of our people there and probably 100
gentiles. We have a store, a cheese fac
tory, and numerous industries on
a small scale. BY the way. il
the tariff was not such a great barrier to
the exchange of the products of the two
countries we could sell you some very
fine cheese from our factory. 1t is a
much finer article than can be made in
this section owing to the conditions
surrounding us. Our climate is some
what similar to this but is more moist,
the grasses are fresher and we are not
SO dependent upon irrigation to secure
good crops. Although the majority of
us live in town WI are a farming and
stockraising community. We raised ex-
cellent crops last year and our prospects
for good crops this year could hardly be
better. 1t is no colder there in the
winter time than here as we are directly
in the Chinook belt. Our people fully
understand the best methods OF irriga-
ton and where it is found necessary they
employ their knowledge to good purpose.
| think if the farmers in some sections
of Montana. especially on the prairies
and table lands would study the condi-
tons by which they are surrounded and
the best methods of irrigation. they
would have much better success in rails
ing crops than some of them appear to
have"
Mr.. Cards wife is a daughter of the
late Brigham Young. Many people have
called MIR. Card a bishop. but he denies
the honor and says the only grounds
they can have for giving him that title
is the position he occupies as president
of the Mormon mission at Cardsville.
He was born in New York state and
went to Utah with his parents, who are
both yet living in that state. when ne
was l6 years old.
