There's plenty of suffering in life for
everybody. and sometimes the good
seem to suffer more than the rogues.
But this is not true. When a rogue
suffers, it is the law that he must think
Of his roguery; and it needs only little
suffering TO make him feel like a cur

man suffers ne is made stronger. and
there is a great peace in his heart.

In one Of Phlladelphla's big cold
storage warehouses, says the Record
of that city, is a cat that lives con-
stantly in a temperature of ten degrees
above zero. winter and summer
Moreover she seems to like 1t, and on
the rare occasions when she is re-
moved to the outer air she news and

thrive in that temperature, which is
the secret Of the cats presence there.

the manager of the warehouse the
other day. 1--WE had been overrun
with rodents, and we turned the cat
loose as an experiment. She seemed

The City Electric Light.

There has been considerable talk on
the streets lately about the city cleo
trio light proposition. There are
those who think that the suit now
pending before the Supreme court
could be hurried and a decision obtain
ed on the question involved if those
who have the matter in hand would
exert themselves.
In order to ascertain the facts our
reporter called upon the city attorney
and several members of the Council
and learned that every thing has been
done to push the matter that could be
done in reason. There has been con-
ditions which have contributed to de-
laying the case, but the case is most
certain to be considered by the Su-
preme Court at the February term.
The Mayor and Council are very an
xious to be doing something towards
installing the plant and just as soon
as the decision is rendered and the
money made available active work
will be commenced and pushed to
a speedy completion

IMMENSE TREES IN FLORIDA.
Monarchs of the Forest That Have
Stood for Centuries.

1t is difficult even to guess at the
age of the ancient live oaks, but some
of them must number centuries and
the Oldest and greatest of them all
is a monarch of the forest, with its
outer branches sweeping the ground
in a circle 100 feet across, with limbs
as great as ordinary trunks of trees
and bearing garden of aerial ferns
and air-plants upon their bark. This
venerable tree is supposed to be the
largest live oak in Florida. Enormous
grapevine trunks rise sinuously from
the ground and lose themselves amid
the quarter-acre of foliage that
crowns this tree; the saplings that
once gave them support have disap-
peared long years ago, their only
record being the angles and curves of
grapevine stem to which they lent
their transient aid in climbing sky

SmOotIleciion.

Some of the State papers take a
rather pessimistic view Of the cleo
ton of Mr.. Smoot to the Senate.
Some of them are of opinion that there
will be thunder popping" when he
attempts to take his seat. We do not
think that any thing very serious will
occur.
OF course the Ministerial Associa-
ton will make its usual appeal TO the
country i'm which IL will point out the
awful danger that threatens If Nor
mon is allowed a seat admidst the au-
gust Senators. Petitions will be pre-
pared in Salt Lake and sent to all of
the Endeavor, and Y. MIC. A. Societies
with requests to procure signatures,
and names will be sent i'm by the mil
lions. the Senate will be told how
many miles of them there are and how
kcenly every signer senses the awful
calamity about to fall on the nation if
poor Sn cot be given seat. We will
wager Mr.. Smoot never half realized
how dangerous an element he was IN
the community.
The righteousness of the whole
thing will be apparent enough to the
Senators and after they have listened
to a few rampant speeches on the
menace that Mormonism is to the
country, and probably heard some tes-
timony of the awful oaths Smoot has
taken against the government; they
will conclude like sensible men that a
belief in Mormonism does not disqual-
lily man from exercising the rights
of citizenship in our common country
And ontside of few disappointed Of
flee seekers and a few ministers who
have failed in trying to make converts
from Mormonism and are jealous of its
growth, this decision will be approved
by the country.

CASE OF HON. REED SMOOT.

"Thc election of Reed Smoot as
United States senator from Utah
will present very different problem
from the one involved i'm the Roberts
case. Roberts was a polygamist. and
was prevented from taking his seat in
the House on the ground that he was
a lawbraker. Smoot, it is said, is not
polygamist. The record will show
merely that he is Mormon Church.
If this is the limit of the proof against
him it is clear that the task of prevent
ing him flom taking his seat or of I'M
serting him would encounter obstacles
much more serious than any that
Roberts could devise. For the ques-
tion raised would be whether Nor
mon is barred by his religion instead
of by social practices that are contrary
to the laws and customs of the coun-
try.

In Colorado.

The Colorado Legislature Is having
very serious time electing a u. s.
Senator. The Republican are in the
majority but they are wrangling
among themselves and indications now
are that unless they can settle their
differences there is probability that
a Democratic Senator will be elected.
At present there are two Senates one
of Democratic members, and one of
Republican. The Democratic Senate
has ousted several Republicans who
are entitled to seats which has lead to
to the two assemblages. The Republi-
can House threatens to retaliate by
ousting the Democrats in its body.
There are some fears that trouble
may grow out of the existing condi-
tions and the Governor has been ask
ed to call out the militia to preserve
order.

Birds Find Refuge on a Lightship.

The captain in charge of light
ship situated at the entrance to San
Francisco harbor recently reported to
the United States light house COM
missioner that large number Of land
birds took refuge on board the YES
sci. A dense smoke from northern
forest fires hung over the locality and
completely obscured sea and land.
Evidently the birds had lost their
way, and, exhausted by their long
flight, the wanderers lighted on the
ship undeterred by the presence Of
the crew. At one time sixty Of the
feathered guests were counted on va
rious parts Of the ship. Owls. cranes,
hummingbirds and other non-marine
species were noticed during the time.

there Is to be a second crop Of lichees

many wild rumors are in circulation,
and pestilence, rebellion and war are

to a great rebellion in China, and

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

In our last issue we stated that there
was question raised between the Sher-
itl and City Marshall as to whose duty
it was to care for the remains of Mr..
O. A. Anderson.
Our neighbor says our remarks We're
utterly false from beginning to end,
but in the next sentence states that
the officers went together and sought
Attorney Vaughan and he stated it
was his opinion that the Sheriff should
look after the body etc. If there was
no question raised as to whose duty
it was why did they ask advice from
Vaughan?
The facts are just are we stated.
There was a question raised between
the officers, and Marshall Crockett not
withstanding he did not feel it was
his duty to do so, had the body tax

could to have ii properly cared for As

since those wide wedding rings were
used among fashionable people. They

WThe good women of the National
w. G. II. U. have entered fight
against Smcot of Utah. Anybody
may scratch the face or pull the hair
of poor Smoot. The temperance
women have sent message to the
Utah Legislature, expressing their
disapproval of Smoot on two grounds:
First, not because he belongs to the
Mormon Church, but is the candidate
of the church, and second, because he
does belong to the Church and is I'M
der its influence. In other words, the
good women object to him d0rbly for
the simple reason that he is a Nor
mon. OF course the constitution of
of the United States says there shall
be no discrimination against a man
because of his religious belief, but
who cares anything, any more, about
the Constitution of the United
States? A set of principals that can
be annulled in one part of the coun-
try's possessions can be annulled in
another-can't it?
But in making the plea that Smoot
should not go to the senate because
he is under the control of the Church
the women are establishing a pre-
carious precedent. This argument
may rise up to haunt them some time
when they seek, in the future, as they
have done in the past, to secure the
election of some other man under
the control of some other church.
And, by the way, If you are not fully
informed about the Mormon Church,
creed and work, you are not qualified
to condemn it. All churches look
pretty much alike in the great COM
mon sense of the American people,
and a blow of this sort at one church
is in effect blow at them all. Be-
sides, il we are to exclude from the
senate all who are under control of
some organized influence or other,
that august body would be left with
out quorum.
"The influences that control most
senators are far more dangerous than
that OF any church can ever be i'm
agined to be. 1t is not a mere DEM
agogic cry to say that trusts, COM
bines and corporations control sure
majority of the senate. Look behind
almost any senator who is permitted
to become a prominent figure in Con.
gress, and you will find corporation
or two standing back of him and con
trolling him. 1t would not be polite
to mention names; that would be
coming too near home. Nor Is il
necessary. The fact is known to al
who are interested in public affairs.
TO these vital facts the good women
are blind But they can see when a
man is under the influence of a church
and, since it Is not their church, they
think it too utteIly awful for any
thing. The common sense of
the people of the United States
and Of the Legislature of Utah
is not apt to be greatly influenced by
this distinctiyely feminine protest
Church rows and rivalries are rather
too common to disturb the general
serenity. The sane longing of the
public is that there might be less
senators under corporation control and
more under control of churches OF
other moral influences. kansas City
