for the murderer.
Messer, accompanied by his father
and uncle, sought out Marcum, who.
Messer alleges made some rather un-.
complimentary remarks about him.
In answer TO II question from Mes
ser, Marcum admitted that he had
upon an occasion said tina. Messei-
had killad a dog belonging to a.
neighbor.
Mcsser thereupon drew weapon

we're fred and Marcum fell TO the
ground, expiring in short time.
"For Gods sake do not let him
kill me-" cried Marcum M the first

They turned deaf ear to his en-
treaties, however, and stood by
while the shooting continued.

Took the Joke Home.

This is the old story of taking the
new joke home to try on your wife. A
Salt Lake citizen was in his place Of
business a few days before the Fourth
when a number of friends entered
bearing what appeared to be an enOr-
nous firecracl<er. They set it down
near him and ignited the fuse. The
man started TO fee. but before he
reached the door there came a very
mild report from the cracker, AMI
nothing more was doing. After his
fright had passed he was shown the
mechanism. 1t was simply a length
of stovepipe. covered with red paper.
and containing only q very small fire.

thing TO take II home. They fixed it
all up for him, and that night he
sEeaked it into the dining roomo. Put
ting it on the table he Mortified the
other members OF the family by ignit-
ing the fuse with his cigar The folks
al fed in fright, while he showed his
bravery and GOODNESS by remaining
calmly seated right beside the table.
continuing 10 smoke his cigar In
about thirty seconds there was an ex-
plosiOn that shattered every window in
the house, split the dining room table,
breaking all the dishes. threw papa
against the wall to his great surprise
and pain. and demolished the room gen
orally. He learned later. after he was
able to get out a little each day, that
when the thing was fixed up the sec
Ond time his friends put about four
pounds Of gunpowder in the thing in
stead of a little firecracker. All OF
which is another argument against
practical jokes.

GROVER ON ANGLING.

GROVER CLEVELAND has written
" "A Word to Fishermen" in an east
ern magazine. In effect it is a plea for
the limitation of fishing so that no
angler viii catch more than a reason
able number of fish in any one day.
As far as it goes, the ex-president's
contribution is all right, but he seems
to have overlooked a great opportunity.
He might have told US, for instance.
whether in fishing for a presidential
nomination to a third term, it is better
for the fisher to preserve a coy. IN
certain and hard-tO-please attitude. or
to go at it with wild, determined
swoop. Is it better to bait your line
with promises to uphold the trusts or
with a few vague declarations about
the necessity of great combinations of
capital in this age Of concentration and
absorption?
After having successfully angIed with
shining metallic, but bogus bait that
looked like the real thing, is it reason
able to suppose the same fish can be
caught with that same bait?
In other words, does Grover suppose
that after the great American voter has
been played and landed twice as a
sucker, that this same American voter
IS going to be hauled out high and dry
by the old bait and the old fisherman
An answer to these would be mighty
interesting reading for a good many
politicians.

THE RACE QUESTION.

THE whole country has been reused
to a discussion of the recent cpl
demic of race riots and allied crimes
with an earnestness that shows the
gravity Of the question thus suddenly
brought to the fore. The causes which
have led up to these social disturb
ances have been lcting for long pc
Rod; the more sagacious have seen the
inevitable elimination long since.
though few have thought out the
remedies most likely to be effective.
Among white men there has been a
vague notion that the negro question
would work itself cut >" while the col
ored people themselves have had few
leaders big enough or brave enough to
point out the truth and apply the
remedy OF these Booker Washington
is easily the sanest and most courage
Gus. He has been telling his people for
a decade that their rights could be Sc
cured only by earning them; that
thrift, industry and moral energy alone
could establish their social and civil
standing. His followers have demon
strated beyond question the fact that
no industrious. law-abiding negro need
fear for his peace, his personal comfort
or his place among his fellows, both
black and white.
Among the negroes it is the ignorant,
the lazy. the dissolute. who have
brought trouble upon the race. In
Evansville, it was a shiftless. criminal
negro, one whose life was useless to the
state and should have been forfeit long
ago. who precipitated a riot, infuri-
ated a whole community and brought
upon his people a loss from which they
cannot recover in years. His crime is
no excuse for the white breakers
who formed a mob, but he is a type of
the individual who is continually dis
grazing a race and making it harder
for them to overcome the handicap of a
century Of bondage, oppression and ig-
norance.
The negroes Of Indianapolis who have
formed league to force idle, worth
less men of their color to either work
or submit to police surveillance, have
the germ of a good idea, whether it is
practicable or not. The man who
works-white or bIack-is not likely to
have either time or inclination for mis-
chief-making or crime

ave Lights Of HistorY.

William Pitt was born in 1883 and
began to talk and read at an early age.
By nature he was a great con man,
and the graft spread before his eyes
in his native county looked too good
to let alone. SO long as he had moth
ing but parliament and the English
people to handle he was a glittering
success. but when he undertook to
manage the affairs of Europe, in .ad-
dition to his domestic duties, he
slipped up. Strangely enough, when
Mr.. Pitt took issue with Mr.. n. Bon
aparte on military matters the result
was not what might be called pleasant
to Mr.. Pitt or his country. Mr.. Pitt
is remembered by Irishmen chiefly as
the man who bought the Irish parlia-
ment, something which proves Mr..
Pitt to have been several generations
ahead of his time. Mr.. Pitt had Great
Britain so thoroughly bunkoed that
after he died the house OF commons
voted $780, 600 of the peoples money to
pay Mr.. Pitts debts. Mr. Pitt never
married, because he was so busy run
ming his country he never had time
to get acquainted with any Of the nice
girls Of that period.
Thomas d. Pitt was a pioneer in Cor
inne, and is well known as a statesman
and financier all over the Bear river
country and the Ogden union depot.
Mr.. Pitt is famed as a promoter of
duck clubs and as an astute political
manager. During a recent campaign
in Utah Mr.. Pitt. having been pre-
vailed upon to act as secretary of the
republican state committee, was at his
post early and late writing please re-
nit to everyone he heard was good
for a touch. He is still comparatively
young. and will. no doubt. be heard
from later on. In fact, it is certain
Mr.. Pitt will again be heard from I'M
less he loses his voice
