THE AMAZING MINK.
How Does This Animal Succeed In
Terrorixing the Rabbitf


The mink is as slow runner as the
rabbit is swift. have seen minks run
several times, and their peculiar, meas
uring worm gait takes them along
about as fast as a man can run. The
rabbit cannot only go with incredible
speed, but can course for hours. And
yet the mink is able to run down the
swift rabbit. The rabbit seems to give
up the race; it would look almost as If
some unknown law of nature made
him the prey of minks, as If he felt
that was his destiny, and did not try
to escape from it. In the cases we OBJ
served the jump of the rabbit grew
shorter and shorter until 1t became lit
tie more than a helpless hop. The
marks in the snow indicated that the
mink was not being dragged by the
rabbit, but that the mink did not over
take his victim until the latter, for no
apparent reason, had given up the
race. And yet fox seldom catches q
rabbit, and probably never in open
running.
Then it would seem as if these blood
suckers have some power of which we
know nothing. AS it is, only one expla
nation can be offered why so slow run
ming an animal as a mink or weasel
can catch as swift an animal as a
rabbit.
We know the mink does not tire out
the rabbit by following him leisurely,
| maintaining his slower gait relentless
ly, never giving his victim chance to
eat, and so by the slow, sure process
Of work and worry wearing out poor
Bunny.
Hence it must be that the rabbit has,
in common with other small rodents,
that terrible, demoralizing or panicky
fear of all the weasel family-a
fear so great and bewildering that
once a mink is on it's trail the rabbit
becomes paralyzed with it, and, in
stinctively knowing that he cannot es
cape by running in a hole, gives up.
If this is so, then there is a law il
nature that we do not fully under
stand, law akin to that which make:
rabbit a coward and a woodchucl
brave to his dying gasp. A ferret pu
into gray squirrels hole was at onc'
driven out by the indignant squirrel
A rabbit has as sharp teeth as squir
rel, and surely might defend itself a
well as a young woodchIck, yet tn
latter will face unflinchingly two dog
and a man. After his back is broker
and he is helpless he will hold up hi
head and whistle a fierce defiance
yet u rabbit will not even try to es
( cape apparently from an animal

Pennsylvania Railroad Maintains Schedule.

During the month of July the PEN
nsylvania Special arrived in Chicago
exactly On the minute of its schedule
every day. The eastbound Pennsyl-
vania Special arrived in New York on
schedule time twenty-three days. The
average detention on seven days was
less than ten minutes, due entirely to
conditions for which the train crew
could not be held responsible. The
greatest breach in the schedule was on
July IA, when the Special was held up
behind freight wreck, which blocked
all four tracks on the Middle Division,
entailing a loss of two hours and
twenty-five minutes in the regular
arriving time at New York.
1t is difficult to find match for this
record. 1t demonstrates that the
schedule has sufficient elasticity to
take up any ordinary detentions which
may occur between termini, and tina
even faster regular schedule may be
made should it be deemed wise. Th,
fine condition of the roadbed, th,
efficient motive power, and skillfu
operation all contribute to the cas-,
with which the Special accomplishe
its work. New York Tribune, Angus

Picturesque Lehlgh Valley Hard to 0verprase.
Twelve hours ride over the lovely
Lebigh Valley route brings us home.
1t is rather difficult to overpraise the
scenic effects along this line as they
commence and continue in variety
down to Philadelphia. One of the fin
est panorames in the East is from the
mountains overlooking Wilkes Barre,
the home of the great anthracite coal
measures of the world.
Bethlehem, the Moravian town, the
home of the Lehigh University, is a
delightful spot 1t is perhaps the
most picturesquely situated town in
the East. Here are also the great

ever, until now. 1t is some mention
of the people met, seen and overheard
So far as men go, one sees but little
difference either in manner, speech or

for our Delaware women, we shall
have to parsphrase from a Delaware

II Republicans are incenscd over
Gov. Cutters betrayal of his plighted
faith with the A. c. of u, the Demo-
Gratis OF this county are no less in
censed at Judge King, the would-be
Governor Movie, and other prominent
Democrats Of Salt Lake City. They
are denounced in unmeaSured terms.
Some see a slight excuse for Moyle,
who was skinned in this county once
but King is deemed ineXcusabl :.
Cache county Democracy has ever
done its best for him, and held hiru up
as a big fellow worthy of~all good
things King worked like a beaver
against the A. C.'s interests and
Cache Democracy now has a bludgeon
up its sleeve for him in case he sticks
his head up again. Mr. Moyle, in his
race, really pledged himself more
strongly than Cutler-but then he
wasn't elected you know, so probably
that absolyed him. Logan and Cache

Much has been said in Salt Lake
papers of the graft There is in the road
appropriations, and commendatory of
the Governors action in vetoing the
work of the recent Legislature in this
respect. Those VINO have travelled
over the new road between Logan and
Millville, and the road between Rich
mond and Smithfield, knowing that
these Improvements were made posi-
BILE only by State appropriation, will
hardly agree with the Salt Lake
papers or concur in the wisdom of the
Governors action. The other coun-
lies OF the State probably do not feel
differently about the matter.

Gov. Cutler, when seeking nomination
and election came into this county
and gave most unqualified assurance
of his friendliness to the Agricultural
College of Utah. He placed himself
on record with dozens OF men In this
county, and in some instances went
into argument as TO why he never
could do aught that would work 10
the, disadvantage Of this school. In
the presence of Hon. Joseph Howell
In this Office. Mr.. Cutler was profuse
in his statement Of friendship. In ex-
act wording he said:
"IF / AM SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ELEC-
TION THE INSTITUTION SHALL NOT
SUFFER UNDER MY ADMINISTRATION,
AND SHALL REMAIN UNDIsTURBED II
IT is IN MY TOWER 10 so HAVE IT."
Gov. Cutler was elected, and how has
he shown his friendship?-By signing
the bills calculated to deprive the A.
G.. of u. Of its most popular courses!
Mr.. Cutler added insult TO injury by
signing those bills when he might
have had the grace to letthem become
laws without his signature. Mr..
Cutler had nothing to gain by signing
them. The commission for investlga-
sion had been provided for and for him
to have vetoed those bills and left the
matter for further action until after
that commissions report would have
been so fitting that the most ardent
advocate of consolidation must have
been satisfied Governor Cutler vio-
lated every obligation of honor, his
plighted word and Is deserving OF the
worst treatment possible at the hands
of those whom he SO foully betrayed.
If it is any satisfaction to his most
distinguished worship" we are pleased
to let him know that some few in this
county do not endorse THE REPUBLi..
CANS language in its arraignment of
him. However, we have yet TO near
of the first man or woman VINO does
not endorse the sentiment OF our
criticism.

dent of the northern part OF the State,
IL falls to Mr.. Howell's lot TO keep
this part of the State in line with
the combines pleasure, especially The
REPUBLICAN, which has been regard
ed by these bigger fellows as the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S personal organ. THERE
PUBLICAN's criticism of the Cover
nor's action is regarded as something
beyond liberation and Mr.. Howell is
to be drawn over the Goals.
Whether there Is anything real in
this Is a question. There has been
much said OF such combination, and
If perchancc it is really In existence
and Mr.. Howell Is an active member,
it is but reasonable that his fellow
members Of the organization should
expect him to keep the official organ
of his home county well in hand.
Any failure TO do so must necessarily
react on his own head.
In the interest of Mr. Howell, who
has been in Washington all winter
and who at last accounts was IN Port
land, as well as for the information OF
any who may be interested, The RE
! PUBLICAN here gives utterance TO the
fact that neither this paper, nor its
publishers are unueT Ille CouJIOl vi
Hon. Joseph Howell, and that neither
he nor any other man or set OF men
could have prevented the recent out
break, or similar outbreaks within
the coming two years, except during
sixty days before any election. The
REPUBLICAN newspaper plant is own
ed by the The Logan Newspaper Co.,
of which Hon. Joseph Howell and
most other prominent Republicans of
| Cache county are, stockholders. This
plant is leased to Moore q Turner for
three years from Feb. ], 1904, with the
stipulation that it be republican
paper, and under the censorship OF
the County Organization only sixty
days before any election. Under such
arrangement Mr.. Howell and anyone
else is rather cup against 1t" when II
comes to controlling It's columns.

We believe in giving the dewitt his
due, and for that reason commend the
action of Governor Cutler in annuling
the recent sale of public lands in
Cache county. Criticism OF him in
this matter is unfair There was sur.
rounding that sale every evidence of a
crooked transaction, and though the
State may now be unable to sell the
lands and is loser 81 900, the Cover
nor could not have done his duty and
acted otherwise than he did. If the
Governor does his duty in all things as
he has in this, and learns to either not
make promises, or TO keep them after
they are made, he may yet rise in the
estimation of the people.

CACHE SHOULD NOT REBEL.


1t is not easy for an impartial obSer-
YER to get in touch with the state OF
mind which is manifest in Logan with
regard TO the Agricultural College.
That state of mind appears to be that
the college is local institution, with
which the state at large has no bust
ness to meudle in any other way than
to supply such funds as it needs, or
thinks IL needs. Needless to say, this
is q perverted view. This college is a
State institution, under State control.
1t is perfectly competent for the State
to regulate il in such manner as 1t sees
fit. and If there is any restriction In the
State Constitution which will prevent
the power of the State being exercised
at its pleasure upon that or any other
State institution, 1t is perfectly com
petent for the people by their votes on
the submission Of proposed amend
ment designed TO remove that restric-
tion, TO adopt that amendment. And
II Is not competent for the locality
where the institution is, to raise a
howl that the town or the county is
being abused by reason Of the State
enforcing its Jurisdiction.
In the case under consideration, the
State was confronted by growing de-
mandS of the Agricultural College
which it was impossible to meet. 1t
was found that the college was in fact
undertaking to be second university.
The Legislature plainly saw that it
was impossible TO comply with the
acquisitions of the Agricultural Col
lege, which in effect meant the sup
port of two separate universities, and
no Agricultural College, or at least an
institution so called which subordi'
mated agricultural teaching to the
usual secondary education instruction
Propositions were at once made tc
correct the mistake, and TO so shape
matters that we should have one Uni
versity and one Agricultural College
each doing precisely the work appro
pirate TO its sphere. and nothing else
and each having the material for it,
proper classes, which neither coult
have with that material divided be
tween the two. The outcry which
arose thereupon in Cache county wa
wholly unjustitied. The widest AM
most foolish stories were set afloat
and every interference, by the Legis
lature was resented as an attack OF
Logan or on Cache County. An
locality which is honored by the 10
cation of a State institution within 1t
borders should be big and broa
enough TO sink petty local resent
ments, to allow that the localit
claim is not exclusive and TO admit
supervisory power.
We note, further, a disposition o
the part OF some TO defy the la
which defines the studies to be pu
sued at the college, and to resist il
enforcement. This would not |
wise AS good citizens, and as agent
of the State for the condition Of Il
college work, it would be impossib
: for any concerned to refuse TO OBJ
Y the law. We trust, therefore, tn;
!. better counsels may prevail, and thi
: the State will be supreme in Cache
: in other counties.

For the benefit of the stockholders

= LOOKING AT IT FROM Two VIEWPOINTS. =.
SALT LAKE SHOULD NOT GRAB.

1t is not easy for an impartial
observer to get in touch with the
state of mind which is manifest in
Salt Lake with regard TO the Agri-
cultural college. The state of mind
appears to be that the college is local
institution which Salt Lake city has
right to possess and that the objec-
ton Of Cache county people to This
Is a 'senseless furore." Needless to
say this Is perverted view. This
college is State institution, under
State control. 1t is perfectly Compel
ent for THE STATE to regulate 1t in
such manner as 1t sees tit, and when
THE STATE makes manifest its de-
sire TO regulate the A. G. OF o., the
people of Cache county will join with
THE STATE in seeking to solve the
question. But it is not competent for
the locality where the institution is
NOT to camp with legislators in and
out OF season filling them with mis-
representation and Justification in
order TO secure legislation deemed
favorable only to that particular
locality.
In the case under consideration, the
| University people find the Agricul-
tural College progressive, growing
institution and their souls are not
great enough to rejoice. The Salt
Lake people found great institution
of fine buildings and magnificent
student body which is located in the
State, 100 miles from Salt Lake. In
vestigation revealed that the Agricul-
tural College is rapidly becoming an
institution of which the State may
well be proud. The Legislature by
misrepresentation was made TO see
that the demands OF the Agricultural
College for appropriation could not be
complied with. Under the cry

that there must be consolidation, and

PUT END TO RULE OF BOSSES
BOSSES IN OTHER CITIES WATCH
UPRISING OF VOTERS WITH
ALARM.
JEROME is THE BIG FIGURE
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP is ISSUE
THAT IS WATCHED WITH
INTEREST.

New York, Nov. 5.-Widespread ma
tional interest in the present municipal
campaign here has become intense.
Newspaper correspondents from BOS-
ton, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Chicago,
Cincinnati and Washington have ar
rived here to look over the situation
and report the indications.
The correspondents are all men eX-
perienced in reporting campaigns,
conventions and other political events.
They say that every political boss and
leader and the general public in all
the large cities of the country are in
tensely interested in the outcome of
the Jerome fight to free the voters
from boss rule. Correspondents from
Baltimore, Cincinnati and Pittsburg
say that local bosses in those cities
Are Thoroughly Alarmed
by the uprising Of the voters in this
city for Jerome. The bosses in those
cities fear that the election of Jerome
will mean their overthrow at the next
primary election they face.
Correspondents from Washington
say that at the national capital there
is intense interest in the situation here
because the question Of municipal
ownership of everything has been
brought to the front so prominently,
and many far-reaching consequences
are involved. Chicago is reported to
be watching the New York city cam
paign closer than it ever watched a
national election. The present mayor
of Chicago was elected on platform
of municipal ownership and has not
been able to make good He has not
been able to take over the street rail-
roads of that city as his platform
promised. The voters of Chicago are
therefore awaiting the result of the
election here to learn whether Or not
the movement is rising or receding
Ownership Big Issue.
Politicians at Washington are in
terested to the extent of excitement
as to whether the chief city will vote
to overthrow and change existing po-
litical economic conditions. Those
politicians are reported to believe that
if one of the candidates for mayor
should win the question of government
ownership of every kind of public util-
ity would become at once national
issue and would have to be met by the
next congress at the coming session.
But all the visiting correspondents
agree that in all the cities of the coun-
try the most widespread and intense
interest among politicians and voters
| of all classes is centered in the fight
| that Jerome is making against parti-
| san bosses.
