very cold and hard one. Many
deaths had taken place, the record
of which is unknown to history. Rev.
Cotton Mather is probably the best
authority OF the times. He relates
of one man who had invited his
friends to dinner, and the only food
upon the spacious table was CLAIMS
In asking the blessing at the family
table, he, thanked God "who had
given them to suck the abundance OF
the seas and of the treasures hid In
the sands" All that spring, when
the tides were right, they would rise
before daylight. pray until it was
light enough to fish, and hunt the
shores for clans. One of the most
charitable men of the times appears
to have been Governor Winthrop,
who was known to have given to a
distressed neighbor "the last handful
of meal" when a ship with supplies
was sighted in the harbor.
Another interesting Thanksgiving
service was held in Old Scituate on
December 20, 1886. The authority
for this mention is the church .'ecord.

Is worthy of emulation. On the 18th

SCIENCE SHOULD BE FREE.

! 1t has ever been the bent of the un-
! thinking, the ignorant. the supersti-
tious, the childish mind TO be strnck
penmental science. IT seems TO snch
minds that Investigations that seem to
it crueb uncommon, or uncanny, should
be stopped by law or by clamor, if the
Investigator will not cease of his own
| accord. An exhibition Of this state of
mind is occasionally seen in news
paper, such as was seen in recent
issue of a Salt Lake daily, making
spasmy protest against certain eX-
periments which II relates Those per
tain 10 the grating of tadpoles and
of dogs, and, TO be sure the recital was
not pretty to read, But neither is the
recital of some Of the most beneficial
operations of surgery pretty to read.
1t is quite likely that most of the ex-
perlments made in the interest of bio
logical science are absolutely fruitless
Some of them seem heartless, even saw
age; some apparently filthy, some in
decent; but ali the time there is gain
in knowledge; all the time something
is found of advantage TO humanity;
occasionally there is a discovery Of
startling beni6cence True, all this
is in the interest Of humanity, selfish
in the highest degree. everything else
is sacrificed to gain help for the human
race. But who would nor rather sec
the lower organizations suffer than to
see human being suffer? And who,
given his choice, would not say that it
is well for dog, a pig, rabbit, or
any of the lower animals, 10 be sacri
feed, if thereby a means may be found
for the relief Of human suffering, for
the preservation of human lives?
The only possible object that critics
against the biological experiments can
serve is TO create or upbuild senti
ment that would suppress such OK
periments. But when we consider what

lin multitude Of cases they are

science and for the amelioration of
human ills. The main thing is not that
the experiments may be as suggested,
or that every one must bring an ex-
pected result. But the main thing is
that research be free and unimpeded :;
that men of science do not have their
occasionally sensational failures
dragged opprobiously to public atten-
tion. The scientific explorers living
scientific lives have thanleless task
at best; their toll is exhaustive Of pa
tience; and if they have TO stop to
defend their research to stupid and ig.
norant people, then is their lot hard
indeed.
Probably no instance of the triumph
of scientific investigation and applica.
tion Of results was more violently op-
posed or received with more supersti-
tious reluctance and insult than the
introduction of vaccination to prevent
smallpox. IT was decried as filthy, cor
rupt, loathsome. And yet no other
one discovery has proved such a bless
ing TO humanity. a preventive Of
smallpox was not expected in that form.
1t WAS not reasonable to expect it..
But there it was; and humanity Is
practically free from the ravage of
that once dread and widely devastat-
ing disease.
1t is hardly possible to foretell when
or how the benefits TO humanity are to
come. through these curious scientific
experiments, nor in what guise. So, the
most irregular experiments should not
be forbidden; nor even the most un-
promising. All and i'll mass they have
scored magical triumphs And failure
may be as beneficial as success, in
shutting the way against further re-
searches along given line. Let all go

fume, IT is no matter. We all know
that in the long run, and counting by
years. a triumphant advance is made; /;
and that should stop all aspersions.

A RULE AND RUM CLIQUE.

The Descret News struck very near
home when it said on Friday evening,
that there is desperate clique here,
determined to rule or ruin. With a
very slight change, the saying would
be even better; That clique is deter.
mined to rule and ruin. 1t has been
doing so ever since the first settlement
Of Utah, with n brief period when it
undertook to behave itself while the
effort was making to deceive the coun-
try into allowing Statehood for Utah,
when fine promises, Jealous protesta.
tions of patriotism, fervent appeals for
amnesty and pledges of obedience TO
law were everywhere 30 be heard. This
rule and ruin clique, however. is now
seeing the abatement of its power; the
future looks dark to it, and the church
organ walls persistently in view Of the
sure diminution of the power of the
crafty, reasonable, lecherous, Iawless
priesthood.
To be sure. the church organ. with
its usual perversity, undertook TO ap-
ply the phrase to its enemies to
whom it had no application whatever,
and attempted to ignore It's proper ap-
plication to its own household where
it applies with the perfection of a
wellitting glove. The clique which the
Deseret News represents has always
been rampant in Utah, always been de.
termined to rule. And when it rules
it ruins. And when it can no longer
rule it still attempts to destroy things
In an even more peremptory and ma
licious fashion. The rule and ruin
clique which the Deseret News repre-
sents is the bane of Utah. 1t has been
so from the first. It will continue TO
be so as long as it is allowed to rule.
But the days OF its power are waning;
the certainty Of its eclipse is even now
apparent; the signs of the times fore
shadow it's doom; aud that is precisely
what makes Zion rage and the News
howl
