COPPER FOR CHOLERA.

According 10 q London dispatch copper
IL said 10 be sure antldote against
cholera. The statement Is attributed
To Or. Cavendlsh Nelson, a prominent
physician lie claims that the attri-
ton Of o copper disc between the skin
and garments win insure the absorption
by the skin Of sufficient copper TO pre-
vent the wearer contracting cholera,
while insufficient to produce a risk Of
poisoning"
In proof Of this theory he points to
the fact that cholera is unknown among
workers in copper mines, Eleven years
ago, he says. he visited St. Petersburg
during an epidemic OF cholera. lie wore
a copper disc and escaped contracting
the disease, while Baron Fredericks In
formed him that he adopted the same
precaution during the severe outbreak
Of the disease in Mini Novgorod.
II thore Is any virtue in copper as
a preventive OF cholera, It must be q
case OF "similia similIbus curantur'
as claimed by the homnopathlsts, For
the chief symptoms OF poisoning and
cholera are said to be similar. The
discovery II found to be based on
facts, should be OF special Importance
at a time when the plague Is threat
enlng various parts Of Europe There
is ample opportunity now Of putting it
to practical test, for the benefit Of
mankind,

Our days begin in the kindergarten
with play and song and legend In

that our moral hber has become nabby

WHAT Is II TO BE ?

The edIct Of the county attorney in
reference to the coming contest be-
tween two noted pugllsts, would per-
haps be received with greater public
favor II IL did not involve some singu-
lar Inconsistencies, II must be con-
ceded by al reasonable people that the
law should be upheld, There Is "a
state law and @ city ordinance against
przenghting They have been quoted
repeatedly IN these columns. It Is also
admitted generally, that laws should
be either enforced or repealed. Prize
fights are unlawful. about that there
can be no question. The conclusion
need not be- argued or emphasized.
But the county attorney is quoted by
the press as taking the ground that
prize fights are too frequent In this
city that two fights a month are too
much for community 10 bear without
bemlsh upon lts name" Are we TO In
fer from this, that a prize fight once a
month IS an right or how often may
one be pulled OFF without casting "a
bIemish upon the name Of the city?'
It would seem 10 an ordinary rcasoner,
although a. may not be within the
ratocinatIon OF a lawyer. that II such
an act Is unlawful at all It Is not lawful
mt any time But many people would
Ike 10 know at how frequent or widely
separated intervals fight may be car
rled on lawfully
It IS also a matter OF query when
the county officers are justified IN
stepping into the sphere Of municipal
authority Each department has It's
particular bounds and one should not
Interfere with another We think, how
ever that II the preservation OF the
public peace and the yindcatlon Of the

A PRESSING DUTY.

As election time draws near we may
expect al kinds OF tricks and schemes
and efforts, legitimate and lleglttmate,
cunning and irrational, to further the
ends Of contendIng parties ana ambl-
tious individuals The people should
be on their guard against every attempt
10 bring into political affairs anything
that IS extraueous ana has any bear
ing except 20 effect the choice OF COM
petent. trustworthy, good and suitable
men for the Offices TO be filed. That
is the real end in view Of the great
body Of the citlzens and It should be
kept before them until the purpose is
accomplished.
The citizens Of Salt Lake make
great mistake IN the management OF
their civic affairs At the very begin
ming Of their political movements. That
r.. most OF them neglect TO attend the
primaries, 1t Is true that many or
them are deferred from this duty be-
cause Il Is evident usually, that GER.
tain ollques have everything "cut ana
dried for the occasion A few mani
pulators and wlrepuIers meet in some
Office or SALOON and TX mp a slate for
the primary IN the ward or precinct, 20
that delegates 70 the convention after.
wards TO be held shall be chosen who
win carry out the hehests Of the partlc-
ular ring to which they are attached,
When the ordinary citizen enters the
primary It does not take long for hirl
80 perceive that he counts as nothing
but a cypher ON the wrong side Of the
numerals that indicate the strength OF
the combination The consequence Is
that he becomes sick Of the farce called
a primary finding It but secondary,
and so he backs out Of the whole bust
ness
But Sc this a sufficient reason for abb
senting himself from the meeting which
is supposed % Dc, ana ought to be- the
beginning Of political movement to
affect an approaching aloction2 Certain.
ly not II professional politicians may
get together and formulate their
schemes to obtain or retain control os
election matters. why should not the
ordinary class Of voters lay their plans
also ahead, and unite 10 select stable,
honorable ana capable men to repre-
sent them iu the conventions 90 be
held2 OF course this Is AN out Of the
