THE STATEHOOD PROCLAMATION.

We have been asked this question::
''If the people of Utah vote for the
adoption of the Constitution, can the
President refuse to issue the proclaim
alton to admit Utah as a state pro-
vided for in the enabling act? Should
he refuse, could he be compelled to
issue it?''
If the people vote for the Constifu-
ton it is mooted question whether
the President has any discretion in the
matter of issuing the proclamation. If
he has any discretion, of course he
can exercise it as his Judgment die
tates.
AS to the second question, could the
President be compelled to issue the
proclamation? We are Of the opinion
that he could not. The reasons in full
for this opinion would necessarily in
volve some discussion of the powers
of the three departments of the gov
eminent, the legislative, judicial and
executive. If any one should persist
in refusing to perform its function,
the wheels of government would be
blocked.
To return to the direct question. 1t
is best answered, perhaps, by re-
calling the famous saying of Andrew
Jackson: John Marshall has made
his decision, and now let him enforce
it," Mr.. Cleveland could say the same
thing to the order of any court.
But the contingency on which the
question is founded is so remote and
almost impossible of occurance, that
the question and answer have at best
but a speculative interest.

THE ONLY WAY OF RELIEF.

The Democratic party stands for
economy. low taxes and deliverence
from public debt, while the Republic
can party stands for extravaganza,
high taxes, and bonded indebtedness.
This has been demonstrated in ma
tional affairs and none the less in
local affairs. The heavy burdens of
public debt which now weigh down the
taxpayers of this city and county, to
say nothing Of the territory, have
been brought upon US by Republican
maladministration. Ever since the
Peoples party lost control of our local
affairs, extravaganza, debt, waste and
alleged boodling have been matters of
public scandal It will be seen by
examination of the names and the
facts that Republican officials have
been in the majority during that time
in city and county. Redemption from
the condition of affairs that now con-
fronts Us, can only come from a Demo-
cratic administration in state, county
and city. If you want relief, which in
any event can now come but gradually
because of the mass of the load, citi-
zens, you must repudiate the party.
and the system which has made it so
grievous to be borne.
Vote the Democratic ticket.

THERE is a vein of humor about the
campaign that is being Waged by the
Republican campaign committee of the
Fourth precinct that is inimitable.
Having appointed that rock-ribbed
Democrat, Hadley D. Johnson, to a
highly responsible position as a mem
Der of the Republican Safety Commit
tee, they next proceed to perpetrate
tn following very funny joke: I'VE
most earnestly request that you vote
the straight Republican ticket SO that
no particular class of people will have
any cause for charging others with
bad faith and also to rebuke the DEM
ocratic party for their unjust attack
on the Mormon church.

THE HOLDUPs.

Five hold-ups Friday night and one
town. So long have peace and quiet
reigned in our city and the criminal
element has been kept so under con-
troll that citizens had begun to forget
that there We're such things as bold,
bad men who would not hesitate to
kill a man Tor a few dollars. or the
chance of getting them.
There are good, kind people in the
world who think that the criminal
class are merely unfortunate, and that
while outwardly they may be as
ravening wolves. inwardly they are as
sheep. The criminal class Is more or
less instinctively so, and these instincts
are generally we'll educated. Those
who have a false sympathy for them
think they would do nothing wrong
Intentionally were they not forced TO.
BAIL Take the desperate who shoo
Mr.. Mitchell. He shot to kill him and
it is the merest chance in the world
that he did not If he were the same
person who held the three other citi-
zens up in various parts of the town.
he would have shot them with as little
hesitation as he did his one victim.
Or whoever may have been the perpe-
traitors of these other outra ges they
would have shot their victim as I'M
tremendously as he.
Citizens must rely very largely upon
themselves for protection against foot
nads for nc matter how we'll the city
NAV be patrolled by police, 1t must
be borne in mind that the footpad
studies their beats and time for walk
ing them, and chooses a place for way
laying his victim that is secluded or
where many people are not passing.
Another thing to be remembered is
that people are much more careful
and watchful on a quiet street far
from the center of the city than close
in while in fact footpads most always
do their work quite near the center of
the town. And they do it when peo-
pie are abroad in the early hours Of the
evening and are least apprehensive.
1t is to be hoped some of these foot
pads will be caught. Citizens should
take as little risk as possible, for it is
a season of the year when bad CHAR
acters flock to the cities.

THE ACTION of the Republican COM
mittee of the Fourth precinct in ap-
pointing Mr.. Hadley D. Johnson as a
member of the Republican Safety
Committee is a delicate recognition of
that gentleman's well known political
record that indicates how little that
committee knows about the personnel
of its precinct.

THE WELFARE Of the people of Utah
requires the absolute separation Of
church and state. For this the Demo
crate party has striven during the en-
tire campaign, and the election of its
candidates is the best guarantee that
the people can give of such separation.

The Lille OF q Turkish Farmer.

Injured as the Turkish farmer has
been to struggling existence, it has
had the effect of making him gloomy
and taciturn. In place of neat farm
stead we find hovel constructed Of
sundried mud bricks. This one.
roomed hovel, without any windows
(the only light and air admitted comes
down the chimney, serves him and
his family as their residence. Ad-
joining this we find cellar-like
building which serves to house his
live stock. All the surroundings are
dirt and untidiness.
Frugality is great characteristic OF
the Turkish farmer, and it is owing to
this that he has been able to exc out
miserable existence. His tastes are

Why the people are not all con-
sumptives I cannot tell, for they sit
in this draught even in cold days.
They do seem to suffer greatly with
catarrh and asthma.
One of the beauties of Cuban resi-
dences is the open court in the centre
of the building, which is profusely
decorate with birds and flowers, and
even small trees are grown. In the
richer ones there are marble floors,
with fountains and statuary. Cane
and willow furniture is used exclu-
sively. In one room I saw eight large
willow rocking chairs, and all the Ia
dies were rocking rapidly as if to keep
time with their talking. There IS but
one door to the outside world in these
homes, and everything goes in and out
of it. Marketing goes in, and gar
base goes out. As the door is kept
constantly barred, I was prepared for
anything; even dreams of brigsnds
fitted through my brain, but nothing
but friends and the most inofensive OF

my knowledge.

the dead, who are faithfully wor.
SHIPPED in the most solemn religious
rites. The form of alteration offered
to the deceased is made up of the
burning of candles, incense and gilt
paper, accompanied by numerous
genuAections and prostrations. A
necessary factor in the services is the
spreading of elaborate feasts, the in.
visible essence of which, it is believed,
ascends for the delectation and mssti-
cation of the dear departed. The Chi
nese believe implicitly that the souls
of the dead continue in conscious ex-
istence and in such contact with the
scene of their former existence that
the location of their graves, the con-
stancy of the worship they receive,
with the richness and variety of the
offerings made to them, are most i'm
portant in determining their happi-
ness or misery.
The vulgar belief is that the needs
of the dead are substantially the same
as the needs of the living, and that
they can only receive those necessi-
ties by the ministrations of the living.
Food, clothing and money are there
fore offered to the spirits, being rem
dered invisible and transmitted to the
other world by means of fire. The
funeral of any one is the occasion for
solemn bonfire, wherein are con-
sumed the clothing of the deceased,
and enormous sums of imitation
money. In addition the funeral pyre
often includes paper houses and fur
nishings and servants that the defuact
may enjoy distinguished Immortality.
If the mourned were sea captain a
paper ship would be given to the
flames. II he we're an officer of rank
horse would be provided, as was the
case in the funeral whichsof1iered an

An AntidOte for Poison IYy.

A friend vino is very susceptible to
poison oak and ivy, and who has SUI
fered terribly from it, tells me that
the best thing 'he has found is the
tincture of grindella. Dilute it with
about three parts of water AMI bathe
the affected parts. 1t should be ap'
piled as soon as the irritation is felt
and before the characteristic pustules
appear. Applied at this time 1t will
prevent the formation of the pustules
and soon check the irritation. But
if not applied until the pustules ap-
pear, it will only prevent the forma-
tion of new pustules, and thus check
the spreading of the affection to other
parts; the pustules that are already
formed will simply take their course
without spreading. The diluted
tincture should be applied to the at.
fected parts as often as two OF three
times every hoar. Rural New Yorker.

The Dangerous Sperm Whale.

The sperm whale is an extremely
awkward fish to approach, for at times
she uses her mouth (the lower jaw of
which is armed with formidable row
of teeth), fukes and tail with terrible
effect. There is an instance of q fish
destroying three boats and injuring
the ship itself; and the ship Essex was
actually sunk by sperm deliberately
charging her twice.
Sir W. 81. Gore-Booth says: "The
best way to approach this fish is head
on, under sail if possible, as, owing
to the position Of her eyes, she cannos
see we'll ahead. The other alternative
recommended is to approach the whale
from behind on the stsrboard side, 80
as to give right handed dart. The
boat, ranging alongside, proceeds par
allel to the fish one or two fathoms,
or possibly three or four. from her,
until far enough forward, when the
harpoon is thrown into the back"
But none of these precautions was
required by lucky settler on the
west coast of New Zealand, who, while
pigeon shooting, happened on a
school of twenty-seven lying dead on
the beach, and who had merely to put
his mark on each to make the whole
his property. The whales, which
varied in size from baby OF seven
feet to a monster of sixty, lay mainly
in pairs for q space of about four
miles. On the whole they were in ex-
cellent condition, and there is no ex-
PLANTATION as to what drove them
ashore, though it is noted that the sea
had been exceptionally rough for some
time previously.
On a different part of the seaboard
o whale of another species, eighty-six
feet in length, had been found under
similar circumstances little before
this great find. The discovery not
unnaturally attracted large amount
of attention, and everybody in the.dis.
triot went to view the stranded levi
athan. Luck follows luck, and 80
another settler, bent on an errand OF
curiosity, came upon 800 ounces of
ambergris some two miles away

The Railway Delirium.

The most absurd project that ever
emanated from a madman's brain
would, during this memorable year
1885,, have found credulous English
investors. 1t is difficult, in fact, to
believe that some of the promoters
were not insane. In Durham, for in
stance, three railways, all running in
parallel lines, not far apart, were pro-
jected. At Greenwich speculators
were eager to tunnel the park, and,
lest the vandalism should arouse in
dignation, proposed to erect marble
arches adorned with marble busts.
One inventor, confident that wind
was better motive power than steam,
endeavored to propel his engine by
means of sails; another was certain
that by the aid OF rockets he could
drive locomotive at the rate of one
hundred miles an hour. E-en more
delirious was the rush for fortune in
1845.46. The number of projects was
enormous. Lines were, on paper, du-
plicated everywhere, or carried into
the remotest localities. One was ad-
vocated because it passed through a
country celebrated for its genial
climate;" another, because it ran
across ground that had been invaded
by the Danes, and the London and
Exeter was actually thrust upon the
market on the plea that it ran along
the road used by the Romans. It is
estimuted that $500. 1000 per week was
spent in railway advertisements alone.
Good Words.
