of the southern states, Il had occasion to
get out into the mountains from one of
the interior county seats where | had
some law business. My mission was to
secure q deposition from the wife of a
mountain farmer and when the work was
done / was asked to remain to dinner. 1t
was not entirely to my liking, for l knew
what that kind of a dinner meant. but
could not decline the invitation. 1t was
very homely affair, indeed cornbread
and bacon being the leading viands. At

A NEW POSTMASTER.

The announcement yesterday that ex-
Governor Thomas had been appointed
postmaster to succeed Postmaster Bar
raft, was a genuine surprise. Mr.. Bar
raft had no intimation whatever that a
change was impending, and in his
opinion, as given in an interview in
another part of this issue. Governor
Thomas did not ask for the appoint
ment That the ex-governor viii make
a good postmaster, there is not the
least doubt; his past record is a guar
antee of this.
Mr.. Barratt speaks of having been
treated ''cavalierly;" the word fifty de-
scribes the way in which he has been
treated He is too old and wen-known
a citizen to need any praise from any
source. During Mr.. Cleveland's first
administration he was postmaster, and
was re-appointed when Mr. Cleveland
was elected a second time, not imme-
diately after Mr.. Cleveland took office,
but after President Harrison's ap-
pointee had served out the full four
years. This city never had a post
master who was more attentive to the
duties of his office than Mr.. Barratt
has been, nor one who was more
courteous to the public. His arbitrary
removal seems more like an indignity
than anything else. What the prompt
ing cause was must be a matter of
pure conjecture. 1t cannot but be
gratifying to the retiring postmaster to
know that he will carry with him into
private life the respect and esteem Of
every citizen in Salt Lake City.

Speaking of the president being
brought face to face with a Cuban cri-
sis, the Chicago News says:
IF the president should begin the
new year otherwise than face to face
with the Cuban crisis he would, of
course, feel rather lost and lonely He
might have a Chinese crisis and Ber-
ing sea crisis and various other new cri-
ses, but none of them could take the
place of the old, tried, familiar Cuban
crisis, with which he has been face to
face ever since he was nominated a
year and a half ago. 1t is related of the
president, who is slightly absent-mind-
ed, that sometimes a practical joker in
the cabinet puts the Cuban crisis in a
corner when the president is not look
ing, and in a few moments those who
are privy to the prank are shaken with
secret mirth to see the president begin
to look around in an annoyed, uncer-
tain way and TO feel through his pock-
cts as though searching for something
Presently his sense of loss becomes
definite, and he cries: 'Ah! You ras-
Gals, where have you hidden my Cuban
crisis?' joining heartily in the laugh at
his own expense. The president has be-
come so accustomed to his Cuban crisis
and so attached to it, that he often has
it brought into the family sitting room
when he is off duty"
An old, familiar crisis is like an old
SHOE it is easy and causes no trouble.
Old crises are always to be preferred,

Hog Cholera Spreading.

there is great indignation among the
falmers because Gov. Lee vetoed the
bill that was before the legislature for
the suppression Of cholera. This bill
prohibited all traffic in carcasses and
provided a conviction. Blunt under the
present law agents of soap factories
are permitted to travel through the

devoured by neighboring herds and the
