FATAL TO THE FRUITS.
Country Visited by Freezing Coid-Drop o
Fifty Degrees.


Fifty Degrees.
According to the press dispatches
the recent cold snap has been fatal TO
the fruits. Throughout Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa and Michigan the ~tempera-
ture has been unusually low for this
season.
At Anna, H., the thermometer fell
to about 20 deg ees. The frost did
great damage to fluit and vegetab es
through ut the section. The buds of
the pears, cherries and early apples
are thought to be killed. Straw berries
are injured some, and there will be no
peach crop whatever, this freeze hav-
ing finished the ruin which the Janu-
ary cod snap be gan.
Cairo. lll.-The temperature here
has fallen several degrees below freez-
ing. The damage to fruit growers a1d
gardeners in this vicinity will reach
many thousand dollars.
Mascoutah, Ill.-In two DAYS there
has been "a drop in the temperature Of
from fifteen ID eighteen degree =.
Peaches, pears and plums are ruined.
Detroit, Mich. DISPATCHES from va
rious sections Of Michigan report the
temperature at far below the freezing
point everywhere. The therm )meter
registers 10 degrees at Sault Ste Marie,
II at Alpena, ID at Grand Haven and 2C
in Detroit. The cold wave in Michi-
gan is accompanied by northwest
winds and light snow in some portions.
Fruit-growers will suffer almost uni
versally.
st. Louis, Mo.-The freezing weather
that now prevails throughout this Sec
ticn of the Southwest is unprecedented
for the mon h of March, and is causing
CONSERVATION among fruit and vegeta-
BILE growers, who will be heavy losers
therefrom. Ice an inch thick formed
in this city, and as far south as San
Angelo, Tex, it was quarter of an
inch thick.
Muncie, Ind.-The temperature has
dropped thirty degrees, and Muncie
was visited by one OF the severest bliz-
yards of the season. One grower says
that all the fruit in this section of the
county has been killed, which will be
a loss Of thou ands of dollars to
farmers.
Wabash, Ind.-It Is believed the
fruit is all killed. Wheat which had
grown rank is also injured.
Valparaiso, Ind.-Wheat is thought
to have been killed.

Fruit buds suffered severely.
Buffalo, Wy.-Last weeks blizzard,
continuing seventy hours, has never
been approached in severity by any
other storm in this locality. Traffic Is
entirely suspended, and communication

Cal current and become heated in the
process-were first wrapped in asbes-
tos. This was too crude, and the
wires were then imbedded in enamel.
Here the fun began. Enamel after
enamel was tried, but almost as soon
as the current was turned onto the
wires, crack would go the enamel,
and the task had to be removed.
Finally an enamel of silicate, or,
rather, cement, was discovered,
and electric-cooking became a fact.
Its application to the utensil may be
seen from the illustration.
Electric Ovens and Utensils.
Electric ovens are usually provided
with several circuits, placed at the top
or sides. 1t is divided into several
compartments, each Of which can be
supplied with heat at different tenn
perature, so that meat may be cook
ing in the lower and the plates kept
mildly warm In the upper. The oven
is air -jacketed and has bright in
terror surfaces, so that all the heat is
retained. A small incandescent lamp
suspended in the interior permits of
the cook watching the cooking pro-
cess through small window of thick,
transparent mica
These ovens, when heated for a
quarter of an hour, carry on most
cooking operations without further
heating. They act like bakers ovens,
where the fire is applied for certain
time and then raked out, after which
the oven has to carry on the baking
for the rest Of the day with the heat
contained In itself These ovens will,
probably, be brought into more COM
mon use by the companies supplying
current, which will push their use as
the gas companies are pushing the
gas stoves.
The electric griddle Is Just an iron
plate, upon the bottom Of which are
set the wires in bed of enamel; and
during the Worlds Fair a skillful
colored cook was kept pretty busy
during the day turning out buck
wheat and griddle cakes to an ad-
miring throng, composed mostly Of
women. The gridiron is perhaps the
only kitchen utensil which cannot be
directly heated. But an electric fire
to grill things over Is obtained by
running the bare wires closely to-
gether in and out over small as
bestOs mat AS soon "a the current
is switched on the wires become in
candescent, and strong heat is
thrown upward toward the meat or
fish set over 1t on the gridiron. The
fumes are carried of up a special
chimney.
The rapid adaptation Of electricity
to the heating of flatirons and the gen.
eral work of laundry is proved by a
case In England, where large build
ing, formerly flourmill, was turned
into a steam laundry. The old mill
waterwhcel was turned to account in
driving an eighty-light dynamo, and
not only is the whole building lighted
by electricity, but all the linen Is
smoothed and CLOSED by the electric
ally heated irons. The outlay was
small; the satisfaction complete.
Electricity Is an excellent servant,
and it is slowly being trained to new
duties. Its uses are manifold, and
its benefits innumerabie. The only
obstacle to its general use for house.
hold purpose is the high price OF
both utensils and current. The
utensils are undergoing a process of
cheapening, and we may shortly see
electrical cooking and heating a mat
ter OF as everyday occurrence as the
gas stove.

TIME DOES NOT CHANGE TILE RIGHT

The logic of our morning contempo-
rary is exquisite. In trying to har-
monte it's present with its past posi-
ton as to the responsibility of witnesses
to answer when required to the grand
jury, it travels around the point with
out ever touching it. and then winds
up with an appeal against reference to
''old days
There is one thing which must not be
lost sight Of, whether it is connected
with old days or new days. A prin-
ciple does not change with the years. a
just law is of equal and uniform appli-
cation. That which was a crime ten
years ago is a crime today, both in
essence and in law if the law remains
the same as then.
The obligations of the law are just
as binding today as they were when
the Tribune bounded on the prosecution
of persons who declined to answer ques-
tons to the grand jury, applauded
judges who enforced the law to the ut
most, and advocated severer treatment
than the courts administered. And
now when that paper condones the same
offence, abuses the public officials who
mildly enforce the law. and holds up
to public ridicule. contempt and con-
tumeiy the grand jury which seeks to
preserve it's own dignity and authority,
it is not the principle which has
changed but the paper that has shifted
Conditions change and pubic policy
sometimes changes with them. But
while the law remains unchanged, par
lticularIy when it is necessary and
right, however we may synpa thize
with one who is willing to abide it's
penalties rather than, submit to its re-
quirements. it is the hight of incon-
sistency for a, public journal to applaud
today the very thing which it utterly
condemned and was vindictively eager
to punish yesterday, and hold UP as a
virtue that which it has repeatedly pro-
claimed as a heinous crime.
If the Tribune hasn't sense enough
to see its insensate folly, some friend
who can see it ought to put a plaster
over its mouth so that it will cease
proclaiming it. But as long as it keeps
up the clamor it is very likely to pro-
woke "a response. And the public must
not be cajoled into believing that what
was essentially wrong in the old times,
is admirably and laudably right in the
new.

THE LAW IN THE CASE.

The controversy now in progress in
relation to the canvass Of the votes
cast for delegate to the constitutional
convention, is narrowed down to the
right of the Utah Commission to open
the ballot boxes. That is to come be-
fore the courts. It might be left to
their consideration but from the fact
that it is being discussed by the Re-
publican press in misleading way,
| necessitating further explanation for
the enlightenment of the public.
The Herald has quoted from the laws
of Congress and of the territory, to
have the authority to proceed as they
have acted in this matter but it is
their duty to do SO. We expected our
Republican contemporary to make an
effort on the other side and are not
disappointed Legal argument, in
deed close reasoning of any kind is
not our neighbours forte. When it
strays off the line of worn out finan-
cial excursions and the sphere of dead
mems eulogies, it is out of it's ele-
ment
We are now told that the opening of
the ballot boxes by the Commission
was IAN act of usurpation." Why?
Well, the Tribune does not say so, but
it is easily understood that it's rea-
sons are because the majority of the
Commission are not Republicans, and
that they are not pliable to Tribune
persuasion or dictation. But what rea-
son does it allege? Just this:
''The only body that by law has had
any authority to open the ballot boxes
this year was the canvassing baard
which completed its labors and ceased
to exist last week"
That appears to be very comforting
to our contemporary but it will be
found very cold comfort in the end.
The answer to it is. the canvassing
board which has completed it's labors
had no authority under the law what
ever to canvass the returns of the
election for delegates to the constitu-
tional convention. That fs conferred
by the Edmunds act solely upon the
Utah Commission. The Tribune saws:
There is nothing in the Edmunds-
Tucker law that confers any of the
functions of the county court upon
the Commission Of course not.
Neither is there anything in the Ed
munds-Tucker law that touches on. this
question The Tribune might as well
have said the Sherman law or the
Wilson bill confers no such authority.
But the Edmunds act, from which
the Commission derives it's authority.
does confer upon that body some of
the powers of the county clerk and
county court as to canvassing returns.
Under the old law, TO which the Tri-
bune refers, the canvass of returns for
Territorial officers devolved upon the
county clerk and some member of the
county court. But under the Edmunds
act that duty is imposed on the Utah
Commission, so far as it relates to the
election of members of the Legisla-
tive Assembly. And under the Enab-

HOW THE MIscouATs OCCURRED.

The Herald has not fallen into the
error of crying Fraud in reference
to the election disputes before there IS
any proof that fraud has been COM
nlitted. 1t is very easy to make accu-
sations. 1t is not usually SO easy to
prove they are true. 1t is also easy to
arouse popular sentiment improperly
and hound the pepulace on to fury on
a false or at least unwarranted pre-
tence. It IS beyond doubt that there
have been some remarkable discrepan-
cies in The election returns, and appear
ances indicate that in the main the re-
suit of a full Investigation will prove
favorable to some Democratic candi-
dates. Hasty and clustering Republi-
cans rush TO the conclusion that this
proves fraud on the part of some of
their political opponents and they
threaten to make a great noise about
it.
But mistakes may occur without will
full intent, and it is just as well to ex-
ercise a little patience and discretion
until some. thing definite can be adj
duced by way of proof. If it is shown
that amy Democrat has attempted to
subyert the will of the people at the
polls. The Herald will be just as really
to hold the act up to public rsproba.-
ton and help to bring the gully TO
Justice, as if he were a. Repu olican. Al
present there is no evidence Of fraud
in sight, 50 far as the election returns
for the Constitutional Convention are
concerned.
We will say further. and We rope
our Republican friends will not become
unduly excited over it, that ii there
are amy .ndications that frlul has been
committed. they point Enthusiastically

We have been asked to account for
some things that appear very singular.

Irregularities and discrepancies which
the Utah Commission have discovered
in the returns are all in favor of the

not true that they are all in one di-
rection. If our friends will keep cool
and count what has been published
the figures being the same in opposing
ewspapeTs-they will see that several
Republicans have gained votes by the
recount.
But how do you account for the
change of the results in Sanpete and
the Third Precinct of Salt Lake City,
when the judges OF election are said
to be certain they counted right?' We
will take Sanpete first.

then the clerk and said members of

The canvass OF the returns Of the
election for all other offices but that Of
members of the Legislative Assembly,
fand for this election Of delegates TO
1.-The Constitutional Convention), is to
ibe made, under the Ednunds act. by
proper persons appointed by the Com
mission But in the case in question.
+ it is to be done by the Commission in
person. The office is territorial Of
tfice. The. canvass must be made under
| the laws of the United States and Of
lthe Territory of Utah. That is just
what the Commission were doing until
stopped By Republican obstruction,
! which, however, can only be temper
AIRY. The law must in the end pre-
/ vail.
In quoting from the law on We'd
nesday we added that if it was con-
tended that the Commission have not
the right to perform this work in per-
son, they certainly have the right TO
appoint someone to do it. That was
a straw thrown out for the Tribune to
grab at. It grabs But it doesn't see the
point of it, which is that if it should
be held by the courts that the Conn
mission could only appoint someone to
make this canvass, instead of doing
the work themselves. the result would
be the same-tfe ballots would have to
be counted. and that is just what the
Republicans who claim everything
are endeavoring to prevent.
Now, the case stands as we have put
it, And the Tribune takes the. position
that as a board which never had the
right to touch these particular ballot
-.
have the right mustn't open them, and
there is no remedy for the wrong dis
closed by the Irregularities and dis
crepancies of the returns! 1t may hug
this delusion to its bosom but that will
surely be torn away by a. competent
judicial decision. And the public should
notsbe deceived by the shallow reason

a Republican sheet on the rampage.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-12-21

In Sanpete county the Demo-
cratic and Republican ballots were both
blue, one a shade paler than the other.
The scratching, which was considera-
BILE, was done by pencil marks. In sort
ing and counting, mistakes were easily
made and the pencii.ing often was SO
dim that the ballot had to be held to
the light to discern it. There were two
Lunds and two Larsens voted for. Err
rors in counting could also occur for
that cause.
The indisputable fact is that the re-
turns were not correct. That is, the
books, the lists and the tally sheets
did not harmonic. All the claims of
correctness in the world will not set
that fact aside. The judges aimed to
be correct, no doubt, but they made
mistakes which it is useless to deny
If they could mistake in one respect
they could in another, and as the main
errors in most cases were in favor of
the Republicans. it will not be claimed
by same and honest men that the Dem
ocr.ats wilfully did it.
The ballot boxes were demanded by
the Republican Commissioners, Do not
forget that. The judges of election de-
livered them to the express offices.
They were received direct by the Utah
Commission They were all duly locked
and sealed with enc exception, in which
the box was sealed hut the lock was
imperfect, but the box was securely tied
and the condition and contents were
as explained by letter from the judges.
The boxes were resealed and deposited
in a. room, locked with a Yale lock, of
which no one had the key but the Com
mission. There is not room for any
lust suspicion as TO their not
being kept intact. Commissioner
sherman, Republican, was asked to
keep the keys but declined. 1t is not
true that access to the room was at
tainable by any one but the Commits
sioners.
The recount, SO far as it proceeded,
was carefully watched by the Republi-
can Commissioner. There is not the
slightest occasion for any insinuation
about the conduct of the canvass by the
Commission.
