dian as their deadly foe; and well they
might. While upon the buffalo they
depended more or less for their living
when crossing the plains. Gone from
the plains are the red Indian and the
buffalo. never to return.
When trains started in the spring for
the states Chat is the phrase that was
always used1 it was to the people of
this city and territory much such an
event as the departure of whaling
fleets for the Arctic sea was to New
England seaport town. With it went
husbands and lovers. hopes and fears.
Romance and danger daily attended
those who went. for danger and ro-
nance are more or less interdependent.
If the time of departure were one of
sorrow and anxiety. the time of return
was one Of ioy and thankfulness. for
while they were gone the pony express
too often brought the news of cattle
stampeded. trains burned and immi-
grants murdered by Indians. He who
had "been to the states became d
hero. and received the admiration be-
slowed upon heroes. His boots were
a little tighter and the heels to them
considerably higher than those Of the
boy who had stayed at home against
his will. Then what tales of daring and
adventure he told Certainly such he
roes never lived before and never will
again. The trip to the states did not
always widen the young mans views or
broaden his ideas. but it never failed to
strengthen his imagination, very often
at the total sacrifice of his character
for truthfulness. Some of those young
men are aged now and tell the story
of their youth without abating one
jot or title of all its wonderfulness
But in their declining years they are
dear, lovely, honest liars to know
whom is to love and respect, and to
listen to them is a joy forever. Truly.
there were giants in those days.
Those days are gone but the memory
Of them is pleasant. No more shall the
honest horse trader swap a pair of
pibald, glass-eyed Mexican mustangs
for four good but given out American
horses. Like the Indian and the
buffalo. the genuine Mexican mustang
is rapidly fading from the face of the
earth. Let him fade.
The young men of Utah have many
blessings that their fathers did not
possess. One of these is that they
no longer have to ego to the states,
for Utah is now a state. May the
young men of Utah appreciate the bles-
sings they have as their fathers did
those they had. And may they prove
to be as sturdy and manly as their
| fathers were

INTERNATIONAL SPORTS.

It seems to be the opinion of some
who take great interest in sporting mat
tiers that the miserable fiasco in which
the Americas cup races of 1895 ended
will put an end to International sports
at least for some years. This is not
necessarily the case, it is not probably
the case, even so far as the Americas
cup races are concerned. The Earl of
Dunraven has acted so petulantIy and
in such an unsportsmanlike manner,
particularly on his last visit to this
country and his very sudden departure
for England, that it is more than likely
his countrymen will condemn his con-
duct IN the matter Of the charges
against the Defender. 1t would have
been an impossibility to have selected
a more competent or distinguished COM
mittee to investigate those charges.
Upon it are am ex-secretary of the
navy, an ex-minister to the court of
st. James, the leading banker of the
United States and the greatest living
authority on naval matters. 1t is a
committee fit to deal with any interna-
tiona1 dispute. Its decision in the mat
ter will command the respect of the
world and compel that of Engllshmen.
And if they find that the man who rep
resented them in the races has made
false charges there is no reason to
doubt that they will repudiate him.
The only really international sports
between this country and England last
year were the athletic contests be-
tween the New York and London ath-
letic clubs. Not am incident occurred
to mar the meeting and each of the
contesting teams had a genuine and
sincere respect for the other. Those
contests were as they should be. There
should be more of them.

negative part OF the argument-the
argument derived from the fact that
there is no evidence that the soul
cannot survive the phenomenon Of
death; but he deplores the scant ma
terial for the affirmative part Of the
argumnet. that is. the lack Of positive
evidence from nature or experience
There are but three items that Butler
relies upon as evidence for this side Of
the argument:
% The fact of existence carries with
1t presumption Of its continuance;
which presumption holds until rebut-
ted by adverse presumption of proof.
(2) From. the fact Of swoons, if not
also from dreams. we know that our
living powers exist when there is no
capacity of exercising them.
(3) From the fact that in certain
mortal diseases the reflective powers
seems to infer such an independence
as supplies a positive presumption of
future existence.
When YOU come to think that this
is all that may be postulated on the
affirmative side of the argument for
the survival Of the soul after death,
drawn from nature or experience"
we are not much surprised to hear
Mr.. Gladstone say that we become
sensible o. how soanty is the supply
Of material at Bishop Buffers com
mand; and we begin to think that the
statesman's complaint against the
Bishop for not putting the argument
for the fact of a future life on its
strongest basis is not altogether with
out reason. That surest basis is beyond
all doubt the revelation of God to
man, and if we have not misunder-
stood the spirit of this first article OF
Mr.. Gladstone's. we are of opinion
that it is upon that basis that he will
ground the argument he intends to
make.

DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES.

The patriotism of Utahs people must
not be developed alone along the lines
of respect for law and honor for those
who administer it, and in protecting
the good name of the state Here are
our material resorces that stand quite
as much in need of development as our
institutions and officers do Of moral
its part in this work as well as in that
of sustaining government. Indeed it
will doubtless afford even a better op-
portunity for a manifestation of
patriotism than the giving of moral
support to government, for the reason
that to develop our resources will In
YolVe the expenditure of both time,
and money; and will require no end
of hard labor Along this line will be
afforded an opportunity to all the peo-
pie to prove their patriotism by their
works.
Within our borders there are gold
fields to be developed; silver mines to
be worked, and their product to be re-
instated in it's honored place as one
Of the money metals Of the United
States. There are railroads to be ex-
tended. and new roads to be built
There are coal fields to be developed
and natural gas reservoirs to be uti-
Iized. There are millions of acres Of
virgin land that can be made fruitful
by means of irrigation, and irrigation
is easily possible by the construction
Of reservoirs and canals. Manufacture
ing resources abound on every hand.
New England does not surpass our
state in one single rescourse for a great
manufacturing centre except in the
items Of dense population and near
ness to the sea board and centres Of
trade. But every year will see trans
portation grow cheaper, and while this
may not entirely overcome the diff
Guilty of our being so far removed from
the centers of trade, and distance
from the sea board, still it will lessen
1t Mean while the population of the
intermountaln states that make UP the
great Plateau Empire, and of which
Utah is the natural centre, will so in
crease that within our easy reach there
will be markets for all manufactures
we can produce.
Look about you people of Utah, re-
sources of an empire await develop
ment in our state. Here within our
borders are resources that when de-
veloped will sustain a population equal
to that Of any Of the eastern states:
and a much greater population than
any of the merely agricultural states
can support Their population must
necessarily be limited because of the
nature and limitation of their indus
try-farming: while the diversity and
extent of ours will enable us to sup
port very large population.

There is but one collection Of the por-
traits Of Lincoln that pretend to be
complete, and that is the collection
made by the publishers of McCIure's
Magazine. They have been able to Sc
cure either originals or copies of every
photograph, daguerreotype, ambrotype,
drawing or painting of Lincoln, so far
as known, in existence. There are in
this collection fifty photographs am
brotype and daguerreotypes The
best collection of Lincoln heretofore
published in any work contained ten
portraits.
It is possible that the Mcclure collec-
ton may be still further increased.
The entire series of portraits will ap-
pear in McClure's Magazine during the
current year. With the February num-
Der twenty of them will have been
printed.

tive races. and of the natural forma-

the author is strictly psychological
and the work will form a unique and
valuable addition to the scientific and
educational literature of the day.
