A GOOD ENDORSEMENT.

The Broad AK of September IA con-
tains a fine, portrait of Hon. John T.
Game, the Democratic nominee for
Governor of the State of Utah 1t
has the following endorsement of the
gentleman for that honorable posi-
ton:
"a happy solution of the guberna-
torial question was reached when the
Hon. John T. Game was named for
governor. a clean, careful and con-
scientious man, familiar with public
affairs, possessing a large degree of
moral courage and an untarnished Off
cial record. together with his wide ac-
quaintance in Utah, makes him the
very strongest candidate that could
have been named. He will add
strength to the ticket all over the
state. With John T Caine as
governor, all classes of our people will
be protected, and the law executed to
the rich and poor alike. Bankers and
Shylocks look well on a bike" or
kicking up their heels on the stage
but the people of Utah will want a
man of experience and judgment for
their first governor, which they will
have in the Democratic nominee"
This is interesting coming from
colored editor speaking for large
number Of his race who have found
out the hollowness of Republican pre-
tensions, and have learned that the
only use that party has for the col
ored man is to gain his vote. Every
word in the foregoing remarks about
Governor Game is absolutely true.

THE NEW ARMY RIFLE.

The first man to be killed by a bull
let from the new army rifle, the
Krag-J orgensen, was Private Thomas
Coffey at Fort Sheridan, last Tues
day. Had he been killed in honorable
service it would have been quite a
distinction, but he was not.
The bullet which killed him, after
passing through his head, went
through tree eight inches thick and
then penetrated the earth to a depth
of three feet. Had there been half a
dozen men behind Coffey and in the
line of the bullet, it is very probable
that it would have passed through and
killed them all On enfilading firing it
would do the same thing no doubt
The caliber of the new rifle is so
small, 80, and the velocity of the bull
let so great that it has been thought
that it would be more humane than
the old Springfield rifle, 40, but such
is not the opinion of Lieutenant
Thompson, chief of the ordnance de-
partment, Department of the Missouri,
Speaking of this very case of Cofey's,
he said he considered the new bullet
less humane than the old one when
the ball pierces a vital organ. Wounds
to the muscles and bones of the body
by the new bullet will be less painful
and not so often fatal as those made
by the old arm. But not so when the
ball comes in contact with fluid mat
ter, where the effect is similar to that
Of an explosion. Here, he thinks, the
effect is due to a peculiar law of vi
bration, or perhaps of displacement.
Discussing this point Lieutenant
Thompson says:
I'm experimenting with the rife,
cans have been filled with pebbles and
a ball passing through them has made
a hole. In cans filled with a mixture
of pebbles and water, an explosion
bursting the can and a scattering of
the contents has invariably followed
the shot. The vital organs are semi
fluid. A ball from a Krag-Jorgensen
rifle will establish vibration that
will be fatal. The crushing of Coffey's
skull IS only another confirmation OF
what we have asserted from our ex-
periments with the rifle. I do not think
the fact that Coffey was only forty
feet or so from the rifle had ANYTHING
unusual to do with the explosive char
acter Of his wound. The speed of the
ball, and not the ball itself, produced
the effect, and it is apt to be the same
at long as well as short range
The new arIisv rifle is a terrible
weapon and its range is wonderful
But what a satire upon our civiliza-
ton and professions of Christianity to
speak of such weapon as 'humanev,

"a FINANCIAL OBJECT LESSON

A Washington telegram says that
Secretary Morton has in his possession
a financial object lesson sent him by a
prominent manufacturing firm of sill
versmiths in New York. This object
lesson consists of two chamois skin
bags. One contains piece of silver
1893 fine, the size of silver dollar, and
containing 4SO grains of silver. This
cost 6S cents, while the silver dollar
contains but 412la grains of 1907 fine
silver
The moral sought to be drawn from
this is that the piece of silver con-
tanning 4SO grains of silver is worth in
the market but IS cents, while the dol
lar containing Ape grains, not so fine,
is worth 100 cents in the market. Why
should this be SO? asks the anti-silver
man. Simply because the one is
money, possessing legal tender quail
ties, while the other is not. The
silver, nor in gold, but is placed there
by legal enactment. This point seems
to escape Secretary Morton. He pro-
ceeds with his object lesson in finance
on the theory that it is a question of
barter and sale. If silver had the
same rights Of coinage as gold lit
would puzzle even so acute financial
reasoner as Mr.. j. Sterling Morton to
get his piece of silver of 4SO grains,
1893 fine, for 6S cents, with which to
make his object lesson.
1t is strange that Mr.. Morton does
not seem TO nave that mastery of ag-
ricultural and kindred questions that
he would have people think he pos
sesses of the money question. 1t still
remains true that a corn doctor cannot
cure a financial i'll.

THE DEMOCRATIC oAsD1DArEs.

everyone concurs in the opinion that
the Democratic nominations for dis
trict judges in the Third district are
hrst-class, all that could be asked.
The Tribune, which had nothing TO
say concerning the Republican nomin-
atoms for the same places, speaks of
the Democratic nominees in these high
ly complimentary terms:
1.-The candidates nominated yester-
day by the Democrats for district
judges are gentlemen above reproach.
They are all experienced in their pro-
LESSONS. They all, by the force Of
their own intellects, have acquired
regulations as eminent lawyers. They
stand out without a suspicion before
their fellow men. At least two of the
three have that character of mind
which men instinctively understand as
fitting them for the bench, and they
have so lived, so handled their pro-
fession, and have so moved in their
walk before men, that all men who
know them would, without hesitation,
submit their property or their lives to
their adjudication with a perfect GER
tainty in advance that their cause
would be heard with a singleness of
purpose to do justice; that they would
be intelligently heard by men who
have prepared themselves by a pro-
found investigation of the law to judge
intelligently and justly"
The gentlemen named for the office
of district judge are all worthy of the
praise bestowed. And what is said of
them can be said of the entire Demo
cratic ticket. A better ticket could not
be offered the people of Utah. This
territory should start on its career as
a state, a career that will not cease
until American institutions shall cease
to be, ably differed, and the men
chosen to start her on it should be
among the best and ablest in the COM
Such men have been Sc
lected by the Democrats as their
standard bearers.

Crane a WtIling Horse.

Our honorable citizen, Chas Crane,
displays a character and disposition
that cannot help but win the admiration
and respect of all our citizens, regard
less of their politics. After all the time
and means he spent, zealously working
for the cause he represented, it was
generally conceded by the members of
his party that, being a man in every
way eligible to hold the office of gov
right. But how tickle and treacherous
politics arel His opponents within his
party showed no hesitancy in riding
willing horse to death.-Millard Pro-

his sense of touch he can, with the rough.
est sort OF tools, fashion the most delicate
of instruments. The coin molds which he
was convicted of having made are marvels
OF skill and accuracy. Up in his mountain
home he has operated a distillery surrepti-
tiously, Of course, but in a way the reve-
nue. officers found hard to detect. He
utilized a washtub for still Its capacity
was not as great as the old style affair,
but it was vastly safer and more conven-

came around, the fire was extinguished

yard. The officers supposed that the
women of the house had been washing
clothes and passed on.
Old man Norris has been a minister of
the gospel. Why he should have settled
and passed the last IS years of his life in
the wilds of the mountains of Dc Kalb no
one has ever heard him tell. He was born
in the Grcenville district of South Carolina
and was the son of William Norris, who
was killed al sea in the war of 1872 He
was married early in life and moved to the
Lawrence district, S. c., where he and his
wife lived for 12 years, and where five
children-twO girls and three boys-were
born to them. His business at that time
was clock and lock making and repairing.
After 12 years bis wife died. His grief
was very great, and in his sorrow he turn
ed toward the religion of his father and
became an evangelical preacher. Incident
ally he worked at his trade. Later, in De
kalb county, Ga, he married Miss Ar

and then, having returned to his trade he
again fOrsOok it and resumed his labors as
an evangelist. He was now 10 years old.
Ho journeyed westward and travelled over
the entire west. He remained in the west
for about 30 years, experiencing all sorts
OF adventures and seeing western life in
all of its exciting phases. Since then he
has given up all notion of preaching.
In 1859 he came to Alabama settled in
Cherokee collQty and married Miss Pitts.
Although over 40 years old at the time, he

more children, all Of whom are living at

friends and neighbors rather than for his
own profit. Molds, metal and some of the
spurious coins were found by the officers

belief is that he made the goods not only
as n favor to his friends, but also for the
love of accomplishing a difficult mechan-
