LO! The Resurrection,
Our Ddn Lives Agdin

a certain parsonage, welknown in Nevada, has for several months
thought to have vanished into the sweet shades of oblivion. OF him only
memory remained, and after the presidents speech about undertaking n o
n even cared to stir up that memory. Being charitable, all of us prefer
red to forget-"of the dead, nothing useless good But read. 1t is Van
himself, Nevada's Van, who is doing the talking in the Salt Lake paper:
81 am altogether out of politics after March 4, next, and shall devote
nv life to the upbu1ding of Nevada. l have lived fifteen years in Nevada,
and hav W. been defeated for any Office 1 have tried for. / could get
Office again, but give it all up to build up my personal fortunes. l cal do
more good in Nevada for Nevada than / can lin Washington
How did he escape the great dog that guards the gates of the Puton-
ian depthsf But the newspaper man could not have been deceived. The ap-
pearance had the form If a man,, it talked with the speech of a man, it had
all he characteristics of the being that once tod earth and had it's being
in the ranks OF Democracy. We guess it al Van, and tina, the charitable
silence which had swallowed him up "a all deception, just as that false
rigor which shfens the limbs of men and makes them appear al dead and
calls forth shuddering, speculative editorials from the newspapers.
Van is not dead, then-not even politically, for it is he himself that says
ii. He could have Office again if he wanted it; that is, the Democrats
would nominate him. The particular sentence that appeals to us in this in
tersiew with the Man Who Is Not Dead, is the one in which the belief is
expressed that he al do more good for Nevada by living in Nevada than
he can in Washington.
Aye, Van, W o hope No., and that right heartily. You can have the sat-
ifaniono of knowing, Van, that it viii not be a difficult task-Gazette.

./uly, The Month OF

July las com In the United States the glorious month of thu year and
vet withal the most dreaded. In a few days the people If this great nation

the weather and its toridness In our great eastern cities and neds, men,
women and children will sufocate and suffer beneath the scorching rays OF
old Sol and yet the rpenng grain changing its mantle OF green TO N Oh
golden brown will sufficiently compensate with Its promise OF pounteous
harvests the untold agony among men which this change necesstates
Speaking of July and its accompanying heat we must all admit that
its heat is essential to the proper maturity Of the rpenIng crops ye'
does moi SOL flaw appear right here in Natures complicated arrangement
II SO much heat is necessary to thu welfare of the crops why were nOt "
men so constituted as to be equally immune from the fatal effects OF It's
intensity
These questions are very similar in their nature to those asked regard
ing the age of Ann, ETC., but they are more concerned with life n death
and probably n o mn knows the answer. Perhaps it is because "a has
disregarded the laws of Nature.
The greater number of fatalities from the effects of heat are IN n
cities and the question naturally arises, has mn in leaving the broad fields
of the country and cuddhng together compactly IS in our great cities got
away from Nature. If 30, he had better get back, but has hef Self preserva-
ton is the first law of Nature and under that category comes the item of
producing that which we eat. Man has found through experience that by
separating and specializing in the different departments OF production nj can
produce more and produce it more easily. To do this is natura 80
cities nave sprung u where thousands of men may toll and greatly expand
the produce of the soil, Sc that there may be enough Tor ALL The standard
of living is higher, men are happy and contented and the world is better a
the result of such a arrangement and yet Nature is not satisfied. IL per-
mns such heat in July that people die III great numbers IN the large cHles

1t is folly to attempt any explanation for all this, also to excuse Ma
turef for her part in the arrangement, but 1T is possible to edu certain COZ
clusnns from the confused and puzzng maz which any attempt to reason
out the why and wherefore of this existence must lead us to- Nature has
