How Snakes Are Handled.

"Now, how 90 you manage to get hold
Of these reptiles? They must be very

look, I'll tell you Later on one or two
stories Of dreadful adventures that l my

time this is the way they are caught in

Only Healthy Persons sneeze.

This is q point alluded to by Mr..
Jonathan Hutchinson. He does not rec
ollect himself to have seen. any but fairly
healthy persons sneeze. He puts the
question with especial reference to the
widely spread popular superstition that
sneczing is a sign of health and good
luck. 1t is possible, he thinks, that this
may have had it's origin in the fact that
it is for the most part an act restricted
to those in fair health. Taylor in his
"Plimitive Culture" gives interest,"

and as to certain customs ass0ciat"

Our neighbor has been badly shaken
UP, not only by the connection in its
rear by the busting of the electric light
boiler, but by internal troubles and
the Liberal burst up. That will ac-
count for it's disturbance of mind very
sadly manifest. The strong sentiment
to try to propitiate the Republican
party in the campaign of 1892 it says
was AL rot" Perhaps it does not
mean that, but it says so, and it is
true. But in attempting to deny the
fact it shows it's ignorance of what
took place in the country districts
The arguments The Herald exposed
were used extensively. In explaining
the causes of the recent changes in
the vote the Tribune is only lodging.
1t was in the campaign of '92 that the
Republican sophistry was used and
our neighbours jump to the election
of SO is quite characteristic

the upheaving tide for the causes of
the commotion, such a change as has
taken place in the course of the voting
element is amusing if it is not depres-
sing. The idea that the Democratic
administration is to be held responsible
for the troubles which, if they came
from political causes, must in the ma
/ ture of things be traced to the party
that has gone out of power, is posi-
lively absurd. And yet it has been
received by hundreds of thousands of
voting citizens, and among them are
some of the good people of Utah.
No doubt the tide will turn again.
And when the good times come, bring
ing prosperity and plenty in their train
and the masses of the voters cast their
ballots by the million for the party
supposed to be the cause of the re-
vival, it is quite likely that they will
be just as wide of the mark as they
have been in the election just over.
But the people of Utah are no worse
lat any rate in this respect than the
masses in other parts of the Union.
They have acted on their belief and
according to their lights, and have
been Influenced in the same way that
other folks have been led elsewhere.
| And they have been free in their
choice of parties and Of candidates.
If they have made mistakes. they were
sincere in the belief that they were
acting for the best interests of the
territory and their own locality. They
were not hypocrites nor time servers,
nor were they driven like sheep to
the polls.
AS we have stated before, in view Of
the general desire for statehood, we
think the movement in Utah towards
Republicanism is very poor politics.
Not because of our affiliation with the
Democratic party, but from the con-
viction that statehood is the great de-
be done to jeopardize our chances of
obtaining it. However, we must make
the best of the situation. And we hail
with pleasure the expressions of desire
on the part of many who have opposed
the statehood movement, to change
their attitude and work for its ac-
complishment.
That appears to us to be a splendid
result of the elections in Utah Now
let all the former conflicting elements
come together for this common pur-
pose, and while retaining individual
views as to matters of political doc
trinal difference, unite our efforts to
make this a grand and glorious state,
loyal to the constitution and the flag
and ready to stand by them come
