A Novel Railway.

WILLIAM T. SHAFFER is an old journal
ist and has been editor and proprietor of
papers in Wyoming. He is well-known
in that state, resides in Evanston, and
has many acquaintance in Utah. He is
of a mechanical and inventive turn of
mind and has for some time had in view
plan for single track railroad. He has
carefully worked out his scheme and
made working model of it which he is
very confident will revolutionize railway
travelling and bring him fortune.
The model is on exhibition at the
Walker House, where Mr.. SHAFFER is
staying for few days, and one good look
at that model would give far better idea
OF the principle on which it runs than
whole columns OF type could convey 1t
would undoubtedly run easier, swifter,
with less noise and far less friction than
the present cars can be propelled, and a
speed of from eighty to a hundred miles
an hour is no exaggerated estimate of its
running capacity. Dust would be avoided
and safety largely ensured, for the cars
instead of running on the ground are sus-
pended and run by driving wheels on an
elevated rail.
The cost will, OF course be an import
ant consideration, and as to that he is not
prepared to give estimates. We are ofthe
opinion that there is something in his in
vention, and think that railroad men
ought to give it close examination.
Meanwhile, we advise mechanics and
everybody interested in that which is
novel and curious to take a look at
SHAFFER's single track railroad.

Truth Coming Uppermost.

If reliance were placed on the state
can papers in reference to life in the
Southern States, people at distance
might be led to believe that northerner
seeking a home there is treated as a
foreigner and pariah. No chance for
him to mingle in southern society, no
freedom for him at the polls, no tolera-
ton for his Yankee sentiments.
Something similar used to be, and is
now occasionally reported concerning
Utah and Gentiles endeavoring to find a
footing within her borders. Even worse
stories have been told on that matter,
perhaps, than any ever invented to pre-
JUDGE the public against the people of
the South. After the railroads have been
here for SO many years and travellers have
visited these valleys, the impression
made by these falsehoods still remains
on the minds of hosts OF people in the
east.
A gentleman who has tested the matter
as to the South thus publishes the re-
suit of his soiourn among the people
there:
81 have been here five years now anS
am naturalIzed-a full-fedged southerner,
so to speak. vote, speak, preach and do
as please, enjoying the fullest measure
of liberty and thus far have not been
nearly so much molested on account of
my opinions as I was in the so-called free
and pious north, and remember, am one
of those who wore the blue nearly four
years and was engaged in the deadliest
fray against several whom l meet nearly
every day.
Similar testimony has been borne by
persons who have made their homes in
Utah, and we have no doubt that it is a
similar spirit of SANDER and hatred which
has prompted the untruths and exaggera-
tions that have kept good people and
much capital out of either region. The
facilities of modern travel and the swift
communication OF intelligence have
hO4tOu W SO1AOOp OhO AdioC 1lupA CociO4o
made and they will soon become things of
the past.
If some northerners went into the south
with airs of superiority, and with evident
disposition to foment trouble and aid in
promoting the subjugation of the old set
tiers to the carpet-ba and negro elements,
it is quite likely that they did not receive
a very cordial welcome or much social en-
couragement. Similarly people who years
ago came to this territory in the same
kind OF spirit and manner, and set them
selves against the people who pioneered
the way here, would have some grounds
for saying that the older inhabitants were
somewhat s'exclusive.
But all this is changing in both sections
of the country. People are focking in
with a desire to become identified with
the residents and the country and its in
terests, the middle wall of partition is
broken down, a man is reckoned ga man
for a that,'' and the truth is coming up
permost while all classes are fraternizing
for the common welfare.

The Senatorial Contest

The United States Senate would not, OF
did not pass the resolution for constitu-
tional amendment providing for the cleo
ton of United States senators by popular
vote. 1t passed the House of Representa-
tives, and it is confidently believed that If
it ever goes to the people it will be en-
dorsed by an overwhelming majority
Why did not the Senate take action upon
it and give the people chance to express
their desires? The Louisville Courier
Journal explains it in strong language.
1t says:
The average legislature is SO much more
accessible and piable than a state full of
voters as material for the manipulation
of the wirepulling and money -lubricat-
ing politician that 1t is not strange that
this grade OF politician, who fiourishes
luxuriently in the United States Senate,
should resist with the impulse of self
preservation reform which strikes at the
very heart of his political existence.
We are pleased to see that the doughty
champion of Democracy favors the propo-
sition to change the method OF choosing
senators and declares that it is only a
question of time, and not very long
time, when United States senators will
be elected by the people.
An additional reason to those that are
commonly advanced for this amendment
to the Constitution is the recent failure OF
three state legislatures to choose a sena-
tor. The doubt which has been enter
tertained, and seems still to exist, as to
the power of a governor to appoint on the
failure OF the legislature to elect, en-
phasized the reason why the election
should be made by the people. 1t would
be shameful if there was no remedy for
the laches of a legislature in this respect
Each state in the Union has a constitu-
tional right to equal representation in
the United States senate and ought not to
be deprived OF it in any such way.
There seems to be no good reason why
the people should not make their own
choice of representatives in the upper
House OF Congress as they do in the lower
House. The principle OF the representa-
ton of the State as an organized entity
would not be abrogated if the people
made their choice directly, any more
than by indirect selection through the
legislature. The Senators thus elected
would represent the whole state just as
much if elected one way as by the other.
OF course if the object is to open the
way whereby rich or otherwise infiuen-
tial men can gain comparative easy ac-
cess to the upper House of Congress, the
old method should be allowed to remain.
1t is easier and cheaper to buy directly.
or Indirectly by aiding their election to
the legislature, the votes OF Jew men
than to win or purchase the suffrages of
the masses of citizens.

law, whatever may be the desire of the

A Strip Off Nevada.

There has been much talk of enlarging
Nevada by the annexation OF Utah.
There is a movement on foot now that
may take away slice of the sage brush
state, without any political purpose in
view and without consulting the citizens.
A new survey is to be had of the boundary
line which divides it from California.
Congress made an appropriation for the
work which is to be prosecuted under the
supervision OF Professor DAVIDSON of the
coast survey.
Reference to the map will show that the
present eastern boundary line runs south
from Oregon to point in about the CEN
tire of Lake Tahoe, thence in q south
easterly direction to the Colorado river.
1t is claimed that the proper boundary
from the point where the eastern line
turns to the southeast is on the eastern
side Of Lake Tahoe. 1t will be seen that
this would throw the whole of that beau
tiful sheet OF water into the golden state
and a strip of country also from that
point to Arizona. Portions OF four Ne
vada counties would then belong to Cali
fornia.
The original survey, however, was per-
formed by a celebrated engineer, and
Neyadans maintain that it Will be found

TODAY THE new immigration law goes
into effect. It requires that immigrants
shall show they were detained five days
under medical observation at the point OF
embarkation, if coming from ports where
contagious disease prevails. Second, in
addition to what is exacted by existing
law, that immigrants shall declare
whether they have paid their own passage
or whether paid by any corporation or
other persons, and whether they have
ever been in prison or almshouse. Other
provisions relate to the penalties to ship
officers, etc. Should pestilence break out,
there will certainly be stringent exc
cution Of the new immigration laws.

The Navajo Raid.

The latest news from the scene Of the
reported Navajo troubles indicates that
the opinions of THE HERALD were correct
in regard to the cause, the extent OF the
danger and the necessity OF rigid exam
animation of the whole affair. Itappears
that only two Indians, supposed to have
been intoxicated, were engaged in the
shooting Of L. s. WEIGH. These were
given up by the Nayaios when confer
once was held with them by the whites.
But this did not satisfy the enraged
settlers, SO half a dozen more Indians
were captured.
That led to the uprising. The Navajos
thought they had done all that was neces-
sary under the circumstances; they knew
that the arrest of the indians not inn
plicated in the shooting was unjust, and
that it probably meant a long detention be-
fore white mans law would take its course
and set them at liberty; they were very
largely in the majority as to numbers,
and SO they determined not to submit.
When the prisoners were released they
withdrew on to their reservation, and the
trouble for the time being was over.
1t is usually this way in Indian out
breaks. Injnstice, or folly, or worse, on
the part of rash white men incites the
redskins to anger, and then follow atroci-
ties for which there can be no excuse, of
course, but which would not have been
perpetrated had it not been for the overt
acts OF the ''superior race
The settlers must be protected, and it
may be wise to quarter some troops in the
neighborhood of the trouble, if the SOL
diers can be restrained from unwarranted
interference with the Indians If not, a
small force will only provoke attack
and precipitate disastrous results. The
settlers along the borders of the San Juan
river desire the occupancy OF Fort Lewis
by United States troops, and it may be
that this would have the effect of quoting
their fears and establishing confidence
among them.
The soldiers may never be needed for
actual service, but they would be at hand
in case OF an outbreak and would be more
in place on the frontier protecting the
pioneers in their work of advancing civ
ilization. than in playing the gallant at
dancing parties or figuring IN uniform to
grace the parlors OF society danes. Indian
scares ought not to be pandered to, but
Indian raids are terrible events and must
be guarded AGAINST at all costs.
