the temporary loss due to strong emo
ton. Then there are curious examples
of temporary loss of memory owing 10
fatigue.

from fatigue completely forgot his

perience this In u less degree. Some

blank In the backward gaze. An En-
gllsh professor once received violent
blow on the head and mt once forgot
all his Greek and a musician lost all
memory of music from the same cause.
Mr.. Whympcr In his book on the Alps
tells how he fell over a frightful prcci-
pice 200 feet high. with the result that
his past was for time wholly blo,tcl
out of his memory.
The most singular cases Of memory
loss are In connection with language.
II IL quite common In our hospitals Ia
see u sick German unable to speak u
word Of the English he had thoroughly
mastered.
\ clergyman some time ago lost all
recollection of words, but he could still
remember the letters of which they
were composed ana could express his
ideas freely by spelling the words. An
officer suffered from n slight attack
Of apoplexy and as a result forgot all
but a very few words. When he tried
to speak he merely uttered nonsense,

handed to him he read II with perfect
propriety One of the most eXtra0rdi-
nary of all memory losses Is when n
person fOrgets how to write with his

do so with his left hand. In such II
case after he has written with his left
hand the desired sentence he can copy

When the memory of words Is grad,
ually lost II invariably progresses In
one particular order. First the proper
names go, then the common nouns,
then adjectlves, ana this stage Is fol-
lowed by failure of the power to rec

smokers, for instance, 1t Is said, some
times find 1t difficult to recall proper

case of man who mislaid package

cleanliness of their outer robes. No enc

Consequently, the women's chief oc.

of sticks with which the wet clothes
are beaten.
This Is most destructive process, by
the way, us the clothes are but roughly

They come to pieces every time they
are washed, and have to he rcglued

THE SALT LAKE HERALD, THUnsDAl MARCH 1885,

during the municipal campaign last
fall he was one of the hardest work
ers for Mr.. Glendinning. both before
and after his nomination. That con-
stitutes his sole claim and fitness for
the office of city sexton The nominal
ton is the payment of political debt
due from James Glendinning to Will
lard Burt. Already Mr.. Burt is in the
employ of the city. in the waterworks
department; there let him remain, for
his abilities are much better suited to
his present position than to the one
to which he has. been nominated.
1t is to be hoped that the committee
to which the nomination has been re-
ferred will recommend it's rejection.
Before doing so let them inquire of
the Republicans of the Fourth precinct
what Mr.. Burts standing in the pre-
cinct is.
The city council owes it to the people
not to confirm Mayor Glendinning S
nominee for city sexton.

NO pAscEa OF poLrcAMY.

Representative f.. Alien Is 10 VIC
conera t,Ilated urbn his remarks in the
house on the bill to restore to the
Mormon church its escheated property.
He is a good fighter and he fought the
Mormon church Ia the past with all his
might. Against al1e institution of poly
gamy he was bitterly hostile, so that
whatever he mai say on that subject
is TO be received with consideration. 1t
was TO this subject that his remarks
were chiefly add1essed.
In response I'd the question of my
friend who wishes to know whether the
constitution of ! the state will be
changed Wherein il relates to polyg-
amy. I will state it is true that the
Mormon people resisted the enforce
ment of the anti polygamy law so long
as they had sanding in the courts
for their contention But when the
final decisions OF the courts had been
had. and this pebble found themselves
adjudged wrong upon every essential
point in CONTROVERSY, they accepted the
situation and declared they would
abide by the law OF the natlon. by
their every pubic act by their acts
as a church, ands as | believe, by their
purpose as private individuals, they
have shown and they now indicate
their purpose to dbide by the sentiment
and law of the american people
The history of utah during the past
six years indicates to my mind that
there can be no such change In us Iun-
damental law. This step has been taken
deliberately by hts people and they
will stand by the, promises and pledges
made to the natitn. They are an hon
est people.
For him to haV stated that the peo-
pie of Utah did hot resist the enforce
ment of the anti {oolygamy laws would
have been to haze stated what every
one in Utah kIPws would be false.
That very resistance is one of the very
best evidences ofjthe good faith of the
people now. On this matter of aban-
doning polygamy the people of Utah
have given every guarantee OF good
faith that could be asked of them.
And they are living up to their prom
Uses. Whatever conflicts the future may
have in store fqr the people of this
state, a conflict DYER the restoration of
polygamy is not lone of them.
Representative ulick, of Ohio, asked
Mr.. Allen whethar the practice of poly
gamy had ceasedlbecause of the revela-
ton or because bf the constitutional
and legal prohibition
Now il makes no difference whether
the people of Utah abandoned poly
gamy because of revelation or because
of constitutional bnd legal prohibition.
The thing with Which the government
is concerned is whether they abandoned
it. They did. Why they did is as i'm
material as why ithe south abandoned
slavery and secession.
Representative ALLEN put the case as
it is, nor was it necessary for him to
make any apologies or excuses. Again
we say. he issto be congratulated upon
his remarks.

THE PRISON BILL VETO.

In his message vetoing the prison
good and timely suggestions. This is
particularly so where he refers to the
earnings of convicts.
H. B. No. 19, which was the bill
vetoed, appears to have been taken
from the statute books of some state
whose reformatory and penal institu-
'tions are arranged so as to give the
convicts confined therein diversified
employment; where there are facili-
ties for carrying on all the trades and
manufactures on more or less ex-
tensive scale The Utah penitentiary
has no such facilities, and those sec
stions of the prison bill which contem-
plated them were wholly ihapplicable
The bill did not seem to take heed of
actual conditions.
In those states where it is provided
by law that certain percentage of
the earnings of convicts shall be set
aside to be paid them upon their dis
charge from states prison, the oppor-
tunity to earn something is afforded
them in the way of following some
trade. The percentage to be allowed
them is deducted from the sale of the
products of their labor There is no
such opportunity at the Utah peniten-
tiary. That it should be afforded con-
victs SO soon as the state can establish
certain industries in the prison, or
,,pop Tho ,,r;Sf,r oro,,pdc No ono will
deny. We're this opportunity present
today, still Governor Wells doubts "as
to the advisa bility of attempting to
devote any portion of the earnings of
convicts elsewhere than to the main
tenance of the prison itself, at least
until such time as it may be deter
mined that the prison is self-support
ing hold good.
The rights of the people Of the state
must be considered before all things
place themselves outside the pale of
the law and they must suffer the con-
sequences of their acts.
When the state has been reimbursed
the expenses it has been to on their
account then whatever will tend to
their reformation and ITO relieve So
ciety of apprehension on their ac-
count should receive the fullest con-
sideration. Where convicts become
producers in excess OF their expense to
the state 1T has been found that to
save from that excess certain per-
centage to be paid them on their dis
charge from prison tends to their re-
formation and to encourage them to
become honest and industrious citizens.
1t opens a way to new and better
career.
1t will take some time for Utah to put
her penal institutions abreast OF the
times in these matters.
The underlying ideas in H. B. No. 119
We're right, but at present they can
not be successfully applied to the
management of penal institutions in
Utah.

In this state last fall during the

discussion relative to which of the

that party would do justice to the

One Of the latest admissions of Re-
publicans on the subject appeared in
our dispatches yesterday. Mr.. South
wick in discussing the financial ques-
ton in the New York Republican con-
vention said:
I'm the senate there is an unbroken
record of Democratic devotion to free
silver coinage during the past six
years. Contrasted with this is the re-
cord of the Republican party. During
the past six years in congress there
never has been an occasion when the
Republicans, both in the senate and
house, whether constituting the ma
jority or minority. despite all argu-
ment, entreaty, threat or pressure,
have not by significant majorities
shown undertaking and unalterable op-
position to the free and unlimited coin
