A Vermont Industry.

1t may be of interest to some of our
readers to see what Vermont is doing in
the production of various kinds of stone
as reported by the government for the
year 1894:
In round numbers the value of the to-
tai production for the United States for
1894, was $37,000,O00 PENNSYLVANIA
leads the states with a total of nearly
So, 100000; Ohio takes the second place,
her total being $3,5l0,511, and our own
little State of Vermont comes in for
third position, having total of So, ,361,-
1872.
Out of a total production of marble
for the whole United States of So, ,199, ,5S5
Vermont heads the list with $1,000, 800.
In granite, Vermont stands in fourh
place with a production of SS93, ,956.
Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island
SURPRISING her. In slate she has the
second place, Pennsylvania being first,
Vermont's production of slate being
$65S, l67, and in limestone $40S, $40, max
ing total of stone produced in Yer
mont for the year 1894 as reported to the
interior department of our government,
So, ,461, 1892.
During the five years ending with 1894
the high water mark IN marble produc-
ton In Vermont was reached in the year
1892, when the government statistics
make the total figures for the year, S2,-
2750O0. 1893 and 1894 recorded a. large
falling off, owing, we suppose in the
main to the hard times. With the re-.
turn of general prosperity we may hope
to see large increase in the value of
marble going out of Vermont. 1t must
be remembered that nearly all the mar
BILE and other stone produced here goes
beyond our borders and the bringing of
three or four millions of dollars into our
State each year from outside must mean
a good deal to our people. Fair Haven

What use is there in eating when food
does you no good-in fact, when 1t does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if il is not digested
If you have loathing for food there is
no use of forcing it down, for it will not
be digested. You must restore the di-
gesJive organs to their natural strength
an appetite will come, and with it a rel
ish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy, then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial as
made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food alreld digested and is a
digester of food as well. Its action is
pro npt and its effects permanent.

InterIocking Signals in the Tunnel.

The Fitchburg Railroad Company is
equipping the Hoosac tunnel with new
system of electric interlocKing signals
which is said to be the finest in the
world. 1t will be so managed that when
train passes the signal tower the signal
will be automatically set at danger"
and nothing can change it until the train
passes the tower at the other end of the
tunnel. Then it is changed automati-
cally, and neither operator can unlock
signal while the train is in the tunnel.
By this system it will be impossible for
two trains to be in the tunnel on the
same track at the same time, so there
will be practically no danger of an acci-
dent occurring. There will still be an
operator at each portal of the tunnel and
they will be notified of the approach of a
train by the ringing of an electric bell.
The work of putting in the system was
commenced at the east end about two
weeks ago and the work at the west end
was commenced this morning and will
be completed In about three weeks. Four
wires are being strung over Hoosao
mountain, and it will take tifty-jar bat
terry at each end to operate the signals.

Literary Notes.

The friction which. continually exists
between the HindOo and Moslem factions
of British India is well described in
Harper's Magazine for October by Ed
ward Lord Weeks, who has embellished
his paper with fourteen illustrations of
Indian life. These include some inter
esting pictures of fakirs, the Hindoo as
ceUics who put to shame all other religi-
Gus devotees by their continual and re.
lentless modification of the flesh.
Godey's Magazine for October is a
Southern number. A very artistic cover
by NJ. de Lipman emphasizes this and
the two leading articles are upon "The
Cotton States Exposition. at Atlanta.
and king Cotton and His Subjects. "
The latter treats of cotton picking in the
picturesque and commercial aspects.
Other finely illustrated papers are upon
Mr.. French, the sculptor; TYPES of
French Beauty" "Great Singers of This
Century" and THE Experience of an
American at an Italian Viutage."
Among the varied fiction is a remarkable
story of society by Frances Aymar Math-
ews entitled "a Confession of Success"
The Fashion Department, as usual, COW
ers the field of particular interest to
women.
A feature of Godey's which is unique
among monthly magazines is the series
now running under the title of "Music
in America" The papers are of inter
est to all readers and of positive value
to those who play or sing. This month
the Cleveland colony of composers is
taken up and treated with narrative and
critical notes. Three pages of music
are reproduced, of which two have never
been published. Ten cents a copy.

A Massachusetts editor refused to be
bribed by public Office into preserving
silence upon the craftsmanship of the
President, and in consequence has been
dismissed from the revenue service.
Probably the substitution of man who
will praise in public that which disgusts
him in private, will materially elevate
the public service.

Is the cause of that tired, languid feel

blood is impure and has become thin and

no appetite, cannot sleep. Purify your

PROMOTION OF THE IMMORTAL.

Utah is certainly coming to the front.
Realizing with a. wild, western, all-round
realization the privileges as well as the
oblgatlons of statehood newly acquired,
she rises to defend the middle west, pop
ularly known as Chicago, against the out
rageous assaults and scurrilous insinua-
tons of the effete east. Our freshly ad-
mitted contemporary, The Herald, of
Salt Lake-not Salt Rivers in a state
of mind because we advised against cast
ing the proposed Franklin statue in Chi
cago of bronze, as likely to appeal to
sneak thieves at night and suggested
the use of wood, or paper-mache instead.
;. The Herald laments to hear us speak
lightly of the efforts of any other city to
secure a monument or a statue to per-
petuate the memory of some immortal
who has passed to his promotion
We are indebted to our critic for the in
formation that there is something higher
than immortality in store for Americans
who achieve greatness. The exact nature
of this promotion is not volunteered. but
the source of our enlightenment leads us
to suspect that after Immortality comes
residence in Utah This is a rapid stride
for a new state which has not yet taken
its place on .Old Glory" but we have
searched in vain for any other interpreter
ton of the somewhat startling PROPOSE
Gon.-New York Mail and Express.

A MODERN MIRACLE.

while the lamp holds out to burn"
etc. This saying is suggested by the
evident conversion of our morning con-
| temporary to the doctrine of remark
able healings by faith. Before the
! conversion Of our contemporary to the
political rectitude of the Mormon
| Church took place, and while it was
! so vehemently attacking the union Of
church and state which it avowed was
the rule in Utah, it also ridiculed and
| lampooned the custom of that church
in the laying on of hands for the heal
Ing Of the sick. Its Misrepresentation
of that church ordinance were as
virulent. Incorporate and unjustifiable
as its receptions on the church influ-
ence matter.
But behold what a change has come
over the spirit of it's themes! Since it
appeared that the ''inf1ooence" formerly
exaggerated and denounced has been
exercised in favor of the Republican
party, not only has all evil in it van
ished from that papers vision, but it
| is also able to see in new light what
it calls 'the subtle something which
will pass from one man to another and
which can cure diseasep'
It is remarkable that "a subtle some
thing" can work SO great conversion,
as that which has come to our con-
temporary. Not a few of the people
who are curious, are wondering what
that subtle something was that
turned the rabid, soothing, rampant,
Accommodating sheet into an advocate
and defender of the church and a. be-
lever in those miraculous cures"
which it formerly treated as entirely
mythical, or rank fraud and priestly
deception. 1t is whispered that there
are some folks, particularly a couple
of reliable gentlemen in this city who
could tell.
However, presuming that this con-
version is genuine, there must be 10y
in heaven if not "on earth peace"
and full faith in it's sincerity. The
next step should be the initiatory
ordinance by which repentant believ-
ers give evidence of their acceptance
of Mormon truth. An expectant public
will be on the qui vive for the aqueous
denouement.
This is an age of wonders. But the
marvels Of Schlatter and kindred
manifestations of a Subtle power"
which the multitude are slow to ap-
preciate, fade into thin shadows in
face of the miracle of the now doubled
conversion of our transformed con-
temporary.

UNHOLY AMBITION.

can unholy ambition" which a near
contemporary protests nobody in it's
service cherishes for a moment, is an
aspiration for a place for which the
candidate is totally untitled, which he
could no more fill than a parched pea
could fill pulpit, and where, instead
of being able to pose as a grave and
reverend seignior, he would appear
simply as third-rate clown in a two
ringed circus. Such an ambition,
known to be entertained by an in
dividual connected with a paper
that in advance notifies the public of
something it is very anxious to do in
reference to that person, is 'unholy''
as well as absurd. 1t is popularity sup
posed that any citizen of this republic
may aspire to any office in the gift
of the people, That may be true, but
it is also true that such latitude does
not render attempts to work into a
position for which the office-hunter
would be merely a caricature, any the
less unholy and unjustifable ambi-
ton,

KEEP WITHIN TUE LIMIT.

1t is gratifying to know that the bull
doing attempts to influence the deci-
sion in the Donovan case were not
fully successful. They accomplished
little, if any, more than similar at
tempts from the same source to muz-
zle The Herald, by intimidating the
reporter who wrote up the proceedings
in the case. The publication of the off
cial report of some of the testimony
hood that The Herald's report was in
correct.
There is an individual in this city
who. because of the influence he Yields
through a sheet with which he is con-
nected, takes on airs of Importance
and attempts to run many public af-
airs. Any further attempt to interfere
with the conduct of The Herald or to
bulldoze reporters will be followed with
full exposition of the affair, with par
ticulars of other endeavors to control
public officers and decisions that affect
the public.
There is a limit to such meddling,
wire-working and bulldozing, and it is
time that was clearly defined. If it
had prevailed in the case just disposed
of, Captain Donovan would have been
summarily dismissed, notwithstanding
the failure to prove anything wilfully
corrupt or insubordinate on his part.
And if the threat of resignation made
for, but not by, the Chief of Police
should be carried into effect, it will be
easy to point out the thumb that made
the pressure which forced the resigna-
ton.
The Herald will do nothing to inter-
fere with any mans liberty, but will
resent interference with its own rights
and liberties and those of the public.
There is good motto which is APP
plicable in the case we allude to; it
is: Mind your own business"

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The Democrats of the First Pre-
cinct find themselves under the neces-
sity of nominatin a candidate for
the Board of Education. They have
endeavored to effect a union with the
Republicans for the choice of nom
partisan candidate, but, as stated in
another column, all their efforts In
that direction have failed. They now
issue call for primaries in each
ward to be held on Monday evening
at their usual places of meeting, for
the choosing of delegates to a pre-
cinct convention to be held in the an
mex Of the Ninth ward meeting house
on Friday next
These primaries should be attended
by every Democrat in each ward. Send
wise and trusty delegates to the con-
vention. Then let a competent gentle
man be nominated who will be nom
partisan in all his official acts. He
will stand good chance of being
elected, if all the Democrats of the
precinct do their duty on election day.
The good people of Salt Lake city
should combine to keep party politics
out of our school affairs Seeing that
the two parties. cannot come together
in friendly way, to choose non
partisan candidates for the school
board, the next best thing is to have
the number of each of the two great
parties equal on the board, so that
there shall not be a preponderance of
political influence one way or another.
1t is only because of the refusal of
Republicans to work with Democrats
so as to secure a non-partisan school
election, that the action of the Demo-
Gratis in calling for conventions and
the nomination Of candidates of their
party has become necessary 1t should
be an election of the fittest men re-
gardless Of their politics. And, in any
event, the people should see to it that
the politicians do not pack the school
board for party ends.

The funeral services of one of Utah's
pioneers will be held in the Taber-
nacle today. Lorenzo D. Young is the
last of the brothers of the late Brig
ham Young who survived that great
colonizer, statesman and leader of men.
Uncle Lorenzo, as he was Familiarity
called, was a we'll known character in
Utah, esteemed by all classes and de-
voted to the interests of the people
among whom his lot was cast thirteen
years more than half a century ago.
Coming here with the pioneers in AT he
has remained a permanent resident
and an active participator in Utah af-
aisr. travelling extensively at home and
abroad for the promotion of those prin-
ciples which he ever held dear and Of
which he was an able exponent. Uncle
Lorenzo is endeared to thousands Of
the old jewellers in the mountains. and
no doubt his funeral will be largely
attended today.

is a discrepancy in the returns which
may necessitate going into the ballot

balloting. The same trouble is occur
ring in other places and it all shows
| better than almost anything else could
how really and seriously defective our
election methods are. The remedy for
this condition of affairs would seem
to be the use of the voting machine.
If the voting-machine is perfect there
will be no possibility of disputes after
elections are over, for of such voting
machine it may be said as Salem Scud-
der said of his Photographic appara-
tus, THE machine can't lie
There are several voting-machines,
the best known being, perhaps, the
Myers. The New York Evening Post
says that this machine does not meet
the requirements of a presidential cleo
ton, and that it is not absolutely safe
against breakdowns. Any machine to
be satisfactory must be absolutely safe
against breakdowns, for break
down of the voting-machine when half
the voters had cast their ballots would
be tantamount, so far as the result
of the election would be concerned. to
stealing the ballot boxes. The Post
says that inventors are at work on the
problem and that we shall eventually
have the perfect machine. This is I'm
doubtedly the case. So far as can be
seen now the voting-machine points
the way to a solution of the question
how to get secret, accurate and
speedy expression of the will Of the
| voter
