'THE NEED of Beans in the South'' is
the title OF an article in Southern States,
contributed by EDWARD ATKINSON, the
statistician. 1t does not relate, as might
appear from the caption, to the introduce
ton of the Boston, or navy variety,
which has so closely attended the cause
Of education and the use of spectacles at
the hub, but refers to the goober, or the
ordinary peanut of commerce. Why Mr..
ATKINSON speaks of it as bean we do
not know unless as resident of Massa-
chusetts he desires to surround it with q
sort Of Yankee dignity; but certainly the
goober, or ground-nut, is a fruit not to
be despised IN either nutrimental or
agricultural standpoint. North Carolina
is its regular stamping ground, but it
grows in almost all the southern states
without much care in cultivation, and
we believe there are some parts of Utah
in which it would flourish proftably.

Fourth" was correct only as to them
selves.
The indications are not at present very
promising as to silver. What the silver
interest is to Utah and the west
generally is not by any means belittled in
our eyes. But all is not lost If silver is
debased. Even if the financial stringen-
cy continues for some time to come, there
are plenty of things to console and slim
ulate people to action and to invite pros
perity. Industries of all kinds may be
promoted and vast amount OF business
can be conducted with small amounts OF

it moving and repose confidence in each
other.
The Fourth of July 1893 was not 'sthe
most disturbed that ever dawned on
Utah. by any means. but was a good
day thoroughly enjoyed by the great ma
iority OF tho people. A sunny, joyful
day, when hope beamed brightly on hap
Ply faces and silver dollars passed at par
while lots of money changed hands and

no greater to the view than those that

RECENTLY SOME Alabama people set up

RECENTLY SOME Alabama people set up
claim in court that the president has no
right to remove a public official before the
expiration of his term of four years with
out assigning cause. The court, without
deciding the point at issue, simply recog-
nized the new appointee. The late Ca
LEB CUSHING is quoted as having declared
that the consent OF the Senate is as neces-
sary to remove as to appoint. But dur
ing every administration the power of re-
moval has been exercised by the Presi-
dent. and since the repeal of the tenure of
Office provision on the subject the rightof
the President to remove on his own mo-
ton is generally conceded to be una
bridged.

peoplelin this city, yesterday, and to
many thousands more outside of the city

In spite of the slump in silver, the pro-

important industry in the west but is
not, after all, the one thing needful to
its life and JOY, there it considerable
money in circulation and a vast
fund OF happiness in the hearts
of the people. We had no formal
parade in the heat of the summer

there was just as much genuine loyalty
in the souls of the populace and the ma
tional holiday was duly enjoyed.
If the burning of powder and the ex-
plosion of fireworks are any indications
of pleasure and patriotism, then Salt Lake
had high time, for, in spite of the
Mayors proclamation, pyrotechnics were
as much in fashion as ever, and the glori-
GUS day was ushered in with all the de-
donations and fizzings that are considered
appropriate, and closed with as ''magnifi-
cent display as usual, of course out
side of the prescribed limits.
The people spent "a happy Fourth, :"
at the lake, in the park, up the canyons,
visiting friends, resting from toll, feast
ing and making merry. They were not
brooding over hard times nor INDUCING
in melancholy meditations. "rhe calam-
ity extending from ocean to ocean, was
not the topic of the day. Nor was there
any need OF such forebodings. 1t was a

A PANIC has been raised among New
York anglers by the opinion OF the attor-
ney-general that Sunday fishing is un-
lawful and punishable by fine or impris-
onment. Two millions OF dollars at least
is invested in property by fishing clubs
on the south shore of Long Island alone,
and tens of thousands OF men from New
York and Brooklyn go fishing every Sun
day. The penalty is $50 to 500, with one
half to the informer, and a steady hand
at the informing business could rake in a
lot of money.

The Sealing Question.


The arguments before the arbitration
court in reference TO the Behring sea
troubles are now concluded. Both sides
of the controversy have been ably repre-
sented. Il will take some time for the
arbitrators to prepare their report and
render decision. 1t is not known how
the matter is regarded by the eminent
gentlemen who have sat as a court to in
yestigate it, but it is confidently expected
that full justice will be done, and the
rights of the United States as well as
those OF Great Britain will be carefully
guarded.
Reports from Alaska are to the effect
that the depredations complained of are
continued, in spite of all the regula-
tions promulgated and the instructions
issued. Seal poachers have been at their
work and had committed many depreda-
tions before the feet sent to patrol the
disputed region arrived there. 1t is
stated that hundred vessels have been
engaged in peiagic sealing and most of
them are British.
The estimate made of the catch of the
season brings it up to rs, 600 seals.
Twenty mine vessels that had been
spoken had %, 496 skins on board BY
the method adopted of shooting into a
herd indiscriminately, it is considered
that four seals are killed or wounded
where but one is taken. In consequence
of this slaughter it is thought the extir-
mination of the fur seal is a question OIL
but short time and there will soon be
none left to quarrel over.
The instructions issued are to rroun6

hauled, and seize all on which a sealing
outfit is found whether they have taker
any seals or not. This may prove the
source of new trouble. But energeti,
measures are deemed necessary in orde
to prevent the utter destruction of tn,
seals.
Otter catching is pursued in simila
fashion. Poaching vessels go out to thu
haunts of the otter, take as many as pos
sible and then sail with all speed to tn,
coast OF Japan or China, so as to get gu

Before the season is over it is probable
that we shall hear OF numerous en-
counters, if not captures. Every vesse
taken will be confscated. Four Ameri
can cruisers fully prepared for hostllitie
are now in the disputed waters, an,
others are at hand.
Before another season opens the de
cision of the arbitration court will hav
been rendered. If the United States hav
no exclusive rights in the region unde

Appointments to Office,

The faultfnding which little while
ago was SO common over the appoint
ments made by the Presidnet has greatly
subsidized. 1t seems to be better under
stood that this business has been attended
to with as much dispatch as was common
surate with other duties devolving upon
the administration. and that while the
President was proceeding with that con-
servatism which is usual with him. he
has acted promptly when necessity re-
quired.
There is another feature to this: 1t has
become pretty well understood that
while the President appoints, his
cabinet have a good deal to say
in relation to the appointments,
Cleveland is man that cannot be led by
the nose, and no man, however infiuen-
tial, can bulldoze him into making an ap-
pointment that he thinks wrong or i'm
polite. At the same time he does seek
advice from others and does rely a good
deal upon the judgment of his chosen adj
yisers in the affairs OF the government.
It is related OF him that short time age

Vital Questions.

In about five weeks Congress will con-
vene and take up question or questions
of vital Importance to the nation of which
we form part. In making the call fol
August 7th, the President says: ''The
present perilous condition is largely the
result of a financial policy which the ex-
ecutive branch of the government finds
embodied in unwise laws which must be
executed until repealed by Congress. !"
This undoubtedly refers directly to the
silver question, particularly the SHEER
MAN law, but may also have reference
to the tariff question, the Nc
KINLEY law being one of those
pieces of unwise legislation which
''must be executed until repealed by
Congress. The express purpose of call
ing that body to meet four months ahead
of time is announced to be, ''to the end
that the people may be relieved through
legislation from present and impending
danger and distress.'' That danger and
/
tariff policy as in the silver purchasing
legislation.
There is no use in Disgusting the fact
that the Sherman law has become gen
orally obnoxious. Perhaps as many BIZ
metallists as monometallists are now
opposed to it. Neither political party
advocates it. The south as we'll as the
north denounces it. And in the west
the majority of the people favor its repeal.
The probability is, then, that it will
not take long to settle its fate. The de-
lay over legislation upon it will be occa-
stoned by the difficulty of providing some
thing to take its place. There will be g
very determined opposition to the un-
limited coinage of silver. If there are MOI
enough Democrats to prevent it, Repub-
} icans will come forward in force agains
) it. They viii endeavor to let the othel
: party bear the brunt of the warfare upor
it il possible, SO as to make political cap
ital out of the conflict. But it will b.
: fought with much determination.
} 1t will be in vain, in our opinion
for the advocates of free coinage to de
} mand it at the old ratio. 1t is barely DOS
sible that by an increase in the proportion
of silver to gold in the dollar, somethin,
may be done towards the restoration o
the white metal as money. But the sign
are not fiattering even for that TIL
tendency is towards gold standard. Blu
the financial plank of the Democrat
5 platform is solid basis on which tn
friends of silver may make stand 70
bi-metallism, and it will take all thei
energy and ability, in determined unity
to overcome the assaults that will be mad
on silver.
Therefore, between now and the tim
set for Congress to meet, men who ar
posted on the silver question ought t
prepare for the struggle that is sure t.
come. And members of Congress VIII
are not famsliar with the subject SHOULD
be reading up, and would do well to avail
themselves of the aid OF persons familia
: with question which is fraught witt
dangers or benefits to this nation, as tn
case may turn, more momentous thai
have faced a Congress of the Unite,
States for many years.
