He Kept His Word.

1t was a sailor, up before a London
Judge for assault. He got bail, and was
dismissed, pending trial. He disap-
peared, and his bondsmen might we'll
have worried, especially had they
known that he had gone, on some busi-
ness, to Cardiff, ITO miles from the
court room. There he found himself
almost penniless and the day for the
trial approaching. What did he do?
He set out to walk the distance. 1t
took him seven days. To get food, he
pawned most of his clothes. For the
last two days Of his toilsome journey he
had no food at all. In the meantime the
sailor on whom the assault had been
committed had recovered and sailed
away, so that the Judge not only dis
charged the defendant, but gave, him
ten dollars from the poor box.

Mr.. Caffery submitted the following
resolution in the United States Senate
on Dec. 16. 1t was considered by unani-

Resolved, That the President of the
United States be requested to report ia
the Senate what action has been taken
in regard to the payment of the appro-
priation contained in the sundry civil
bill, section 1, amendment 107, ap-
proved March 2, 1895, for the bounty on
sugar. And if no payment has been
made of said appropriation, and If the
law granting said bounty has not been
executed, to give to the Senate the
reasons therefor"
We trust that the report, when re-
ceived, will explain why this one item
was selected from among all the ap-
preparations made by Congress to be
especially approved by Comptroller
Bowler.

The admission of Utah as State Of
the Union suggests brief review Of
IT'S agricultural, mineral and industrial
conditions, which we are able to COM
pile from the annual report Of the
governor of the territory, Hon. Caleb
w. West.
The population Of Utah increased
44.4 per cent between 1880 and 1890,
and 1415 per cent between 1890 and
1895. 1t now stands at total of 247 1874
persons, of whom 126,S03 are males and
12O,521 females. The assessed valuation
of real and personal property and i'm
provements was $97,942,152 the rev.
enue from taxes was $497,516. Almost
$2,750,00O were expended last year on
private and public buildings and in
public works, and 100000 acres of land
were surveyed.
The report upon the farming inter-
ests of Utah are very extensive. There
are 100000 acres under cultivation,
417,455 acres irrigated, 294,725 acres OF
pasturage fenced in, S06,650 acres OF
improved land and 979,1S2 acres Of I'M
improved land. There are 20,5S1 farms,
of which only 2,T2S were mortgaged for
$1,9G1, 1852, and $4,000 were expended
on farm buildings during the year,
S226,S79 in repairs, and over $1,000, 900
were paid out for farm labor. We have
condensed the principal crop areas and

Almost Incredible Coincidence.

The recent accident in Manitoba In
which A. M. Bell of Portage La Prairie
fatally shot J. Muir of Pembina, N. D,
mistaking him for deer, formed part
of an almost incredible coincidence. On
the same day, similar accident took
place near Sault Ste. Marie, in which q
son of Mr.. Bell figured. The son was
out hunting with doctor of the town
and mistook the doctor for a deer tn at
he was stalking and shot him. The
wound, though dangerous, has mot
proved fatal, and the victim is recover
ing. A more remarkable coincidence
has seldom occurred, father and SON on
the same day, hundreds of miles apart,
mistaking their comrades for deer.s md

Warning to Republican Editors.

The New York Press recently gave
the values of some of the principal
articles that we imported during ten
months ending Oct 81, of 1894 and 1895,
also the total values of all imports.
That paper said it was:
Comparing the imports Of leading
commodities with those Of the CORE
spending period in the preceding year
(under the Mckinley tariff"
This is wrong, very wrong. 1t Is sur
prising to see the Press fall into such
an error. The Mckinley tariff was not
in force for ten months in 1894. 1t was
not in force even for eight months. The
German tariff was allowed to become
the law Of the land before the end OF
August, 1894. Last years import figures
to the end Of October include imports
under the German law for two months
and some days, hence a comparison be-
tween this year and last, If extended
beyond August, does not compare the
workings of the two tariffs except in
the case Of wooden manufactures.

only in a patriotic citizenship which at

sists in the great natural resources we

what would be the result in case OF q

She Is still the Most Dcnseiv Populated
State In the Union.
The census recently taken of the in
habitants of little Rhode Island pre-
serves the states claim, which, al
though often disputed, has not been
overcome for more than a century, Of
being the most thickly populated state
In the union. Rhode Island is the
smallest of the states in respect Of
area, covering only 1900 square miles,
while Delaware has only 2,100, Connect
lieut. 400 and New Jersey $500. But
the poulation of the state Is in excess
Oh 100000 and increasing rapidly. Dur
ing the first twenty years following the
revolutionary war Rhode Island, which
oesame state in 1890, gained very lit
Tie In population, and in the year 1860
the total population reached only 49,
'0oO, or less than half of what it is to-
oay. With the enormous increase OF
manufactures, however, during and
since the close of the war, the indus
triaS population of the unions small
est state, which now has S40,000,000
invested In the cotton factories, and as
much more in wooden mills, has taken
rapid jump upward. Since the taking
OF the first federal census in 1890,
When there were on the average sixty
three persons to the square mile in
hhode Island, until the present, when
the average number is 354, the state
mas retained its distinction of being
the most closely populated in the
country. Massachusetts, has held the
second place and Connecticut had the
third until 1870, when New Jersey SUI
perseded 1t, and Connecticut fell to
Iourth place. Compared with some
european countries, however, the pres
ent density of population does not ap-
pear so great. BY the last official
enumeration the population per square
mile In Belgium was $50 and in Eng
land 5O5. Rhode Island has a water
area OF 165 square miles, which is more
than one-tenth the total surface of the
state. The gain in it's population has
Deen greatest, of course, in the large
cities, but the manufacturing indu-
tries OF Rhode Island are diffused so
generally that there are more than a
dozen small towns with rapidly in
creasing industrial population. Be-
tween 1870 and 1890 Pawtucket in
creased in population from $500 to
$1,000. Woonsocket from 1000 to 90
700 and Providence from $4,000 to 1872
300. Bristol county, Rhode Island.
which is south of Providence on the
border, has an area Of
only twenty-five square miles, where
as New York, prior to the annexation
of the new Westchester territory, had a.
land area Of forty square miles. An
erroneous notion prevails in many
quarters that what regulates the den-
'ity of population in a state or county
IS the compact habitation of all parts
)f it, but the fact is that high per-
,entage Of population to the square
mile comes from the number of cities
and towns within the state or county,
md railroads or waterways account
argely for these.

How "Tariff Reform" Worked.

In 1899 we imported 13,057,642 linea
of pearl buttons. In 1895 we imported
1S.537,049 lines. Americans, under the
German tariff, were deprived Of the
work that could have been utilized in
making 100000 lines of pearl buttons.
The amount of duty collected on foreign
pearl buttons in 1893 was $395,245. In
1895 it was $241,193. BY the German
law, the American government lost
S150,000 Of revenue, while American
labor lost the work Of making $500, 0ol
lines Of buttons. Who derived any
benefit from this species of tariff re.
form?" Not the government, not oui
workers; but foreign manufacturers
and foreign labor.

and both were acquainted with this
paper. The democrat, of course, said
that the figures were false and backed
his opinion to the extent of $25. The
republican promptly covered the
money and the disputed point was re-
ferred for settlement to q democratic
paper in Chicago. The decision, nat
urally, was in favor Of the Tariff
Facts" which uses nothing but official
figures, unless otherwise stated. Con-
gresham Dolliver was an eyewitness
of the discussion, and he subsequently
heard from the republican commercial
traveller that he had received his
money. Undoubtedly the democrat will
begin to realize that everything he
reads in democratic papers is not Cos
pei.
