HARMONY PREVAIL S.

1t was clearly demonstrated at Salt
air the other evening that, in spite Of
the efforts of political opponents TO
create schisms in the Democratic party,
the organization was never more united
than it is at present.
Democrats fight among themselves
when the opposition is too small and
too weak to demand their attention.
but when their fights are over the fac
tions dissolve and the party presents a
solid front to the common foe The
work of Republican schemers who bear
tales and try TO sell gold bricks to men
who are believed to be disgruntled
come to naught. For Democrats settle
their differences within their own camp
and seldom fall prey to the political
bunco steerer who organizes new par
ties or holds out other inducements for
men TO follow him to their undoing.
The ladies of the Democratic club
we're eninently successful in their
Saltair excursion and meeting. and the
expressions of the speakers and others
in attendance were full of cheer and
encouragement to Utah Democracy.

convention is exclusively confined to
state issues. aside from an altogether
proper and judicious endorsement of
the faith and principles of the Democ-
racy as set forth in their past plat
forms, coupled with a generous tribute
of appreciation of our matchless lead
er, William ]. Bryan. His hold on the
hearts of the people-their admiration
of his splendid equipment as orator
and statesman-is as firm and enthu-
siastic as ever"
The object of Pennsylvania De-
mocracy this year. when there are no
federal officials TO elect, is to save the
state, if possible. from the corruption
and erininality of the executive and
legislative departments of the state
government, evils for which the Re
publican party is exclusively response
BILE
Republicanism in Pennsylvania, as in
the nation, stands for the plumber of
the people. the prostitution of power
the peddiing of patronage. the promo
ton of political jobbery and favorit-
ism. the reign of spoilsmen and the
shameless propagation of scandal. 1t
is to battle with these weapons of evil
that the Democrats of Pennsylvania
buckle on their armor for the local
campaign.

more closely than the animals of the
other regions.
The abysmal region includes the bot
tom area in all the deeper parts. Here
the conditions are more uniform from
season to season and from day to
night. The bottom is of impalpably
fine slime. In very deep lakes the tenn
perature and light are always the same,
and there is constant great pressure.
Not one of the American lakes has been
thoroughly explored, So we do not
know what these different regions will
yield. In Lake Geneva over 100 differ
ent species are found in the abysmal
region. All these are originally derived
from the littoral or peiagic region.
The character of the water remains
very much the same from year to year.
In many cases but q small per cent of
the total amount of water present is
changed annually. and ii would require
the addition of an enormous mass of
any one ingredient to effect but a slight
per cent of change. Every pail of
water thrown into Turkey lake would
remain in the lake on an average six
years. These things are strictly true

than by evaporation; but even in the
latter cases, as in Salt Lake, for in

CIVIL RIGHTS AND WRONGS.

Advices from Wardner, in a short
paragraph yesterday. said "a deputy
Sheriff went to MuIlan today to notify
the Independence and Hunter mines to
cease working men without permits
from the state authorities. The hide
pendenca complied with the order, but
the Hunter declined. Unless work
ceases tomorrow the sheriff states that
the mine will be put under guard and
the Superintendent in prison"
That's a lovely state of affairs for a
region supposed to be under the protec-
ton of the constitution of the United
States. Not one of the men affected by
the order has ever been suspected or
convicted of crime against the law
No complaint of any kind has been
made against them, nor has there been
any threat of lawlessness or sympathy
VITA lawlessness from them. If there
had been, they would be reposing in a
stockade prison, guarded by United
States troops.
Their sole offense is that they have
belonged to a union, and for that they
are TO be denied the right to earn their
daily bread and keep their families
from want and suffering. If man may
be barred by state authority from en-
ployment because he belongs to a
union. there is urgent need for mod
ification of that document Of the fore
fathers which guarantees individual
liberty under the law.
It would be just as proper to inhibit
-.
Presbyterian or a Catholic because
some member or members of those sects
had been accused of crime. The point
involved in the Wardner situation is
greater than any question of property
rights-it involves the whole vast sub
Ject of individual freedom.
The Herald has no sympathy with
he men who destroyed mining prop
arty at Wardner. They are the worst
enemies organized labor could have.
because they discredit the cause OF la
Dor among its best friends They have
earned the eXecration of every union
man and the heaviest penalty the law
can infiict. But there is no justifica-
ton in law, in equity, in any moral
construction of the law, for such a con-
dition as is described in the news from
northern Idaho.
The abrogation OF personal liberty by
the wholesale is a more dangerous men
ace to civil liberty and the rights of
property than any other violation of
law that can be conceived, and the
sooner the fact is realized the better for
the future OF the whole controversy he
tween employer and employed.

area after the causes had ceased that
led to the plications and elevations of
the region. The upper portions OF COM
paratively level valley thus became
lower than the lava courses and caused
the accumulation of water in the for
mer valleys Perhaps the most strik-
ing instance is to be found in the Eng
lish lakes, which are drowned valleys
radiating from a common center.
However. the majority of the Ameri-
can lakes in the Sierra Nevadas were
undoubtedly formed by the action OF
local glaciers.
Along either side of the lower Mis-
sissippi is a series of bayous or lakes
which are largely old channels of the
father of waters that have been left by
short cutting of the river across its
bends. The tributaries of the Red
river end in elongated lakes that owe
their origin to a peculiar cause. The
headwaters of the Red river are now
bringing down sediment more rapidly
than formerly and more rapidly than
its lower tributaries. The old equilib-
rum has been disturbed and during
times of flood the debris from the head
waters is deposited along the margins
Of the lower course of the main stream.
In this way the lower courses OF tnese
tributaries have become converted into
lakes.
The color of a lake depends on its
depth. the nature of its bottom and the
contained in its water. The
shallow lakes of the north vary from
apple green, tinge that is impaired

A GOVERNMENT DUTY.

A special to The Herald from kanab
YESTERDAY brought the news that de-
structive forest fires are raging in the
Buckskin mountains, and that the
flames were probably started by rival
ranchmen trying TO burn each other
out. If the report is true, some pun
ishment should be administered TO the
reprobates responsible for the fires, and
the government should take the case in
hand.
There is no more beautiful stretch of
fine timber in America than on the
Buckskins. The mountains are in real
ity a plateau some six or seven thou
sand feet above the sea level, and di-
loctly on the tremendous sweeping
curve of the grand canyon of the Colo
RADIO through northern Arizona The
timber is almost altogether pine; there
is little underground, and the whole
area of the government reserve forms
a natural circular park of about forty
miles in diameter, well watered by
springs, and furnishing a retreat for
numberless deer.
Though geographically within the
Arizona lire. the reserve is practically
part of Utah. because the grand can
Won shuts off the rest of Arizona from
access to this part of the territory, and
it Is left for the use of Utah cattle and
sheepmen to control. 1t is to be hoped
that the fires will be checked, and that
tie damage done is less than is feared.

TO FIGHT CORRUPTION.

AS the drowning man clutches at a
straw. so does a local Republican
newspaper scan state and county plat
forms in the far east for some slight
token that silver is dead"
How it must pray for the death of
silver these days Whenever a Demo
cratic speaker refers to the time

fully exclaims: THAT includes the
platform Cleveland ran upon" And
yet it knows that the first gold plat
form ever submitted TO the American
people was the one upon which Nc
Kinley ran for the presidency. and
upon which the administration stands
today.

United States and Canada; in this area
are the largest bodies of fresh water on
the globe, and a large number in the
Sierra Nevada and in the Rocky noun
tain districts. The remainder of the
country. from the southern boundary
of Georgia to the northern boundary of
Pennsylvania, west to the Rockies is
practically free from lakes.
These four groups of lakes are due
to four different methods of lake for
nation. Florida has but recently risen
out of the ocean and the original in
CAPABILITIES in the ocean bottom have not
yet been modified to any extent. The
old depresSions in the floor of the ocean
are still preserved in the lakes. The
second group is due to glacial action.
All of the area in which these lakes are
found was. until recently, covered with
ice moving in a general way from north
to south. In places the ice gouged
deep groves into the underlying rock.
AS the glacier retreated the groove be-
came filed with water. Lake Cayuga
in New York and at least some of the
great lakes owe their origin to this
planning or gouging of the glacier. The
rocky debris gouged out in this way
the ShaVings of the great glacial plane,
were carried long distances by the ice
and finally dumped in an irregular
IdSllOn, leaving little Nils ana snail
low depressions which filed with water
TO form the largest part of the small
lakes of the north. Sometimes a huge
block of ice would break off from the
edge of the glacier and become covered
with rocky debris; after the glacier had
finally disappeared this buried ice
would gradually melt, allowing the
debris covering it to settle down, form
ing a symmetrical depression. All of
the lakes of this type are comparative
ly young, perhaps not over 10000 years
old
The third group of lakes, those in
the mountains, is the result of a va
riety of causes. Crater lake in Ore
gon. which is the deepest lake (about
1000 feeD in North America, is a body
of water occupying the depression at
the top of an old volcano. the original
top of which is supposed to have sunk

second in depth, is an old valley which
has become damned up by flow of
lava. Lake Titicaca is an old arm of
the sea that has been elevated until it
is now over $4,000 feet above the ga
level Some of the large lakes in Swift
zerland are said to be the old valleys
of the streams still flowing through
them. The heavy weight of the noun !

by the dissolved substances of veget-
able origin extracted from leaves, peaty
matter, etc. An object can rarely be
seen over ten feet below the surface
in one of these lakes. TIL deeper lakes
are of various shades of blue. Lake
Tahoe is intensely blue, while in many
of its shallower bays the water is a
beautiful emerald green. In clearness
it is exceeded only by some limestone
springs of Florida. An ordinary plate
can be seen 100 feet below the surface.
Minute particles suspended in clear
water reflect only the blue of the spec
trum. a clear lake will therefore ap-
pear blue, and the splendor of this
color will vary directly with the depth
OF the lake, the purity of the water and
the smallness of the particles suspend
ed in it. The green of the margins
of lakes such as Tahoe is due to the
mingling of the blue with the yellow
ish-orange light, which alone passes
through the water and is reflected from
the bottom wherever the water is shall
low enough to allow these yellow
rays TO reach the surface. The shade
of the green is determined by the ma

ture of the botto mand the depth of
the water.
An ideal cut across a lake will show
slowly descending area near the margin
of the lake, the lake terrace, and a
central, deeper area. 1t is evident that
the conditions of existence within such
a lake cannot be uniform. There are,
in fact. three well-defined areas, each
with its animals peculiar to its region.
The littoral region skirts the shores
and does not reach beyond the fifteen
foot line. The bottom is of sand, gravel
or slime. In this area the temperature
is nearly uniform at any one time.
There is little pressure of water; there
is considerable motion in the water.
due to waves and currents. The fiuc-
tuations of temperature are great dur
ing a year, and the fiuctuatiOn of light
during twenty-four hours differs little
from the air fluctuations. In this re-
gion we find living creatures to be
most abundant. The inhabitants of this
area differ in different lakes and in
different parts of the same lake.
The pelagic region includes the region
surrounded by the littoral and extends
from the surface to near the bottom.
The conditions in different parts of this
region are very different. AT the sur

BOER AND BRITAIN.

General Joubert, in command Of the
Boer forces in the Transvaal, has fig-
ured out very pretty plan of cam
paign against the British forces in
South Africa in case war is declared.
According to English authority. the old
Dutch warrior believes he can defeat
the British and take their British col
onies in South Africa within a fort
night after war is declared.
The plan looks simple enough-on
paper-and the Beer belief in it IS
doubtless stimulated by the memory of
their notable triumph at Majuba Hill,

the field after single possible defeat.
Instead. the Kitchener campaign shows
very plainly that though the English
may be defeated, they are not likely
now to abandon campaign once be-
gun. It took long years to wipe out
the sting of Gordon's death and the
consequent withdrawal from the Sou
dan, but when revenge came it left
nothing to be desired in its complete
ness.
Likewise, Dom Paul may possibly De-
lieve he can keep Britain from crush
ing him, but if he does, it is evidence
that he has not read recent military
history. He would better make up his
mind to concede a large part OF the de-
mands made on behalf Of the Outland-
ers in the Transvaal or else suffer the
humiliation of seeing his republic wiped
off the map as an Independent power.

their larval stage, and fishes taken out
by man.
Changes are produced in the bottom
and shores of the lake which ultimately
tend to its death AS soon as the water
in newborn lake has reached the
brink of it's bank it begins to pour over
the edge. The channel thus started
deepens gradually until this cause alone
would ultimately cause the draining of
many lakes. Sediment is carried into
the lake by the inlets. This is chiefly
deposited over the mouths of the
streams, forming deltas, but the finer
parts are deposited even in the remote
parts of the lake In the deeper parts
of lakes there is a continuous rain of
