We are again called upon to i'm
press upon our members that the
grip" is for special use only, and
should never be given except as a
test, when L test is necessary. Some
brethren ignorantly use secret signs
and grips with all with whom they
come into contact. Such use betrayS
an ignorance that is ineXcuSaEle in
any other than a neophyte, and every
member should be properly instruct
ed to that effect.

There is some indication OF a war
between England and the United
States. President Cleveland's recent
message has war-ike ring, and it
has taken the breath away from those
who have been accusing him of being
the tool of Great Britain. lis mess
age on the Venezuela affair is great
and it leaves England with enc of two
things to accede to Cleveland's
demands or fight. He left 10 room
for quibbling-it is business-put up
or shut up. We sincerely hope the
matter may be satisfactorily settled
without a resort to arms, but should
the United States be forced to war,
South Carolina vii! be found in the
forefront as she has always been
in every war. A war between Uncle
Sam and Johnnie Bull will strike
down all existing sectional barriers
and there will be no more North,
South, East, or West; but this, the
"grandest country the sun shines
upon will be one country, ss it was
when the patriot fathers shouldered
their long muskets and drove the red
Jackets from our shores Let Presi-
dent Cleveland sound the toscin, and
among the first responses will be
South Carolinans who differ from him
in his financial policies,and who were
opposed to his nomination for presi-
dent; yes, men who denounced C!eve-
land "as tie tool of Wall Street" will
rush to the rescue, because it is right
aud lie has himself shown disposi-
ton to maintain and defend the fright.

Cory to God in the highest!
And on earth peace,
Good will toward men!
So the angels chan:ed the procla-
nation OF the Gospel OF Peace" to-
ward all mankind.
Who can refrain from joining in
that sublime canticlc, vcicins as it
does the heart hungry longinss of all
OF Gods intelligent creatures? No
wonder the event is celebrated the
world all over; for who can utter a
word against the doctrine plo-
claimed?
That doctrine was the liFe-text Of
Him whose birth was 50 highly hon
ored. In all his life and teachings he
ascribed "glory to God" and inculcat-
ed "good will toward men" The ar
gelic chant may we'll be regarded as
an epitome of the Gospel, an epitone
of the entire revelation of God to
man; for it declares our duty toward
God and our duty toward our fellows.
The golden rule is an ampliEcation
of 1t; so is the sermo on the mount;
and so the Lords prayer.
The day should be observed iu the
spirit of the proclamation, in the
spirit of Him in whose honor it was
issued, in the spirit of Him who is
sued it, and in hearty appreciation of
the great truths SO loftiiy published; !;
so that all the festivities Of the season
may be the proclamation itself in ljv-
ing and loving action through our
joyful instrumeD:ality. But all should
remember that whilst the "Son of
Man came "eating and drinking" !"
He never sanctioned riotous and self
ish qualification in meats and drinks,
or any self-indulgence. Let temper
apce prevail in all things; let self Be
forgotten; let each think only of the
other. In blessing others, we bless
ourselves the most.
in lcvi e man wLom we have s,en,
We show our love 10 God. I weea.
Some Lurtiene6 lrotber bless to-day!
Nc sail not pass again this way.
Bearing in mind the great procla-
nation of the first Christmas and hav-
ing cur heats full OF love to God and
man, we all should pray for ''peace on
eartl,,' and especially for peace he
tween the two great English-speaking
nationalisies of the globe. Let all
the pulrits preach peace on Christ
mas day. Let all true lovers Of God
and man breathe peace on that day,
speak of peace and pray for peace.
And SO may peace prevail between
them and us, for we be brethren.

BEHIND THE TIMES.

There is no degrees in the Order of
Knights of Pythias. Every officer
and member knows this and yet
many of them persist in using the
word degree instead of rank. The
words degree and degrees were strick-
en- from the work and ceremonies of
the Order, by tie Supreme Lodge, in
1872. An officer or member who now
uses the words degree or degrees, in
connection with the Order of knights
of Pythias, is twenty-three years be-
hind the timeS.-Herald.

It is with great pleasure that we
announce to the people Of the Sixth

McLaurin has been appointed by
Speaker Reed on the ways aud means

Young Conn ne>sman as it isa recognl-

also compliment to hispeople. It gives
aim a high rank in the halls ofna!ioual
Legislation and makes hin leader on
the Democratic side. This is the first
time sirce 1860 that South Cacohua
has been represented OF tie ways anal

than any other member Of the delegation.
and length of service counts for much in
tie selection of committeeman. That is
not all, however, that IS considered. Brains
and ability are strong recommendations Tor
good committee berths, and of those Mr..
conrse in State politics has not always CON-
mended itself to The Register, and has
been condemned by many people in South
Carolina, his work in Congress has delight
ed his friends AID no exception can be
taken to it by his enemies. It is said that

Supervisors Notice.

Dec. 18th. 1895.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-04-03

The first wool taken from the backs of
Utah sheep since the close OF the 1894 sea-
son, is now on the market, and the hold
ers are asking ~ cents for it. Included
in the consignment awaiting sale are 1OO,-
900 pounds of very heavy fieeces sheared
at Thompson's Springs on the Rio Gran
de Western, the only point at which any
extensive shearing has taken place this
spring. By reason of its extra weight.
the buyers say the owners of the clip
will do well if they receive 61s or cents
for the lot.
Shearing is now in full force out on the
desert, along the line of the Rio Grande
Western, and early in the coming week
operations are to commence over in the
Tooele country, where there are many
thousand head of sheep to be clipped. on
Friday and Saturday of last week in the
neighborhood of 5000 head of sheep were
pated that general operations would COM
mence, but the coming of the recent fros-
ty period has put a stop to the fleece re-
moval fof some days yet. In the extreme
southern part of the territory. several
clips are about ready for market and
some deals will probably be closed up
down there within the next few days.
Advices were received yesterday from out
on the line of the Oregon Short Line to
the effect that on or about the goth of the
month in the neighborhood of a quarter
of a million pounds of wool will be ready
for sale. Shearing has commenced in that
section unusually early this spring, prob
ably for the reason that last years opera
tons were altogether too protracted, and
as result the growers lost heavily.
The wool buyers are turning their faces
this way in great numbers, and within
the next week or two the territory viii
be fairly alive with the gentry. Several
of them are already here on a fence
expedition.

SEEDING NOW IN PROGRESS.
One Hundred Acres OF Beet Land
Daily Cared For.


AT the rate of 100 acres daily the sugar
beet lands of Utah county are now being
seeded and within the next week or ten
days the first, or early planting will be
completed. There will be an abundance
of seed this season, several carloads of
the germs having been received since
General Manager Cutters return from the
east. Having been SO busy with the pre-.
parations for the seeding, the force of
workmen in the employ of the Utah Sug-
ar company has not yet commenced up
on the annual repairing and renovating
of the factory, but 1t is anticipated that
with the beginning of the new week OPP
erations will commence at the plant This
work will consume the entire time of the
force until August although a short time
will be devoted to the disposal of the
low product now on hand, in order that
the total production of sugar for the sea-
son may be somewhat increased. It is
not yet known when the works will be
fired up for work, but more than likely
the date set will be May first, everything
depending upon the regulations sent out
by the secretary of the treasury.
General Manager Cutler and his force
of accountants are now at work prepar-
ing the annual statements for the consid
Grafton of the board of directors of the
company. and then the stockholders. Mr..
Cutler was in the city yesterday
